No Cm, No P gy. Price 25 can". We heard a story a few days ago: that shows how some people in trying; to trouble their neighbors sometimes? get fooled. A certain farmer wishing i to show his smartness started thresho ; ing before his neighbors got through harvesting. One of them refused to leave his harvest and risk his crop to! go to the threshing No. ‘ 1. To get : arranged that when he finished up in f the forenoon, instead of giving the; men their dinner sent them to hisi neighbor. who was next for the ma-l chine. for their dinner thinking he would not be prepared for such al crowd as it is noc usual in such casesl for the threshers to leave their last ' stand without getting a meal if any- where near meal time. The neigh- bors thought it queer and after talking over it came to the conclusion that No. I wanted to save his grub at thel expense of his neighbor and that if any slur was intended it was on them. Next time this man wants his neighbors for threshing he may find it rather dificult to get some of them. Getting even does not always pay.

And now, to the kind reader who 3 has indulgently followed this discus- Tsion from the beginning I must re- luctantly say adieu. The genial ed- itor of this great Familv Paper has in his own gentle fashion called of this game for the present. It is with sincere regret I drop an interesting and deeply absorbing subject. It is my hope, that the discussion has not been so “ fruitless ” as some may im- agine. There are doubtless a few who object to [read religious discus- sions of this kind. These are not al- ways the wisest men and such an at- titude is no sign of a great mind or of deep convictions but the reverse. Many of these objectors would daw- dle for hourslover the latest society scandal, the disgusting details of a murder trial, or the senseless andi vapid political discussions so common ‘ in these latter days and probably consider themselves rather clever in doing so. It should be remembered that every great reform, political, social, moral ,or religions, that has bleued the world. has usually been ' brought about by discussions that l were sometimes long and dreary and} sometim- “the”. sharp and desisa One other fact should have great weight in settling this question. It is. that during the bitter persecution of the Christians under Diocletian (A. D. 303) while copies of the Scrip. tures, were taken from the Christi- ans, no copies of any Prayer-books or Service Books were found. This is conlirmed by Bingham (Anglican) IV 187, “ In the persecution under Diocletian and his associates. though astrict enquiry was made after the books of Scripture and other things belonging to the Church, which were often delivered up by the Traditores to be burnt. yet- we never read of any ritual books, or books of divme servnce, delivered up among them.” The reason would seem to be as Leb- run says, " There are no Liturgies earlier than the fifth century ” (iii. 1- 17). As to the general efiect of book prayers. I make one quotation from BishOp Wilkins whose excellent little book “ Gift of Prayer," I commend to Reader ;â€" “ For any one to sit down and satisfy himself with this book prayer or some prescript forms, so as to go no further, this were still to remain in his infancy and not to grow up in his new nature; this would be as if a man, who had once need of crutches. were still to use, them, and so necessitate himself to a. continual impotence.” ‘ Now, with one or two quotations from scholars and authorities I must reluctantly leave the subject without going into the writings of the early Reformers, the practice of the Prim- itive Church or the advantages of free prayer, for I am persuaded that all are overwhelmingly on the side of free and unrestricted prayer. I have however said sufficient to demolish Reader’s so-called arguments root and branch. Many others of his statements would not stand a mo- ment’s critical investigation but want of space compels me to pass over them in silence. And now let me ask Reader if he really believes that in the many oth- er examples of social prayer recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, the wor- ship was conducted by the aid of “,Forms ?” After our Lord’s ascen- tion, for example, we read that the disciples " all continued with one ac- cord in prayer and supplication”-â€" Does this mean that they wereex- ceedingly diligent in reciting over certain pre composed petitions ? Again in Acts 1: 24, was the prayer. “ Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew,f’ etc., part of a liturgy then existing or was it conceived and uttered at the moment? Again in Acts 12: 5, on the occasion of Peter being cast into prison by the tyrant, it. is said that “ Prayer was made without ceasing unto God for him,” does Reader think that this was by the aid of forms? Does he believe that in this wonderful liturgy that he thinks existed, there were passages to suit all the exigencies of the fearful crisis in which the church was then placed? Is it not suprem- ely ridiculous to take any such un- founded and superficial view ? Fur- ther, what does Paul mean when he exhorts the members of the church, “ to pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit ” (Eph. 6: 18)? What do we suppose to be his desire when we find such passages as “ that they would strive together with him in their prayers to God for him.” Does he mean that they were to present constantly one set of re- quests in one set form of words? Lastly, Reader should explain the remarkable passage in I Cor. 14: 13- 19:â€"“ Wherefore let him that speak- eth in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret, or, as MacKnight explains it, “so as that some one may interpret his meaning.” We may ask how could these teachers pray in a foreign language if the churchwas tied to certain fixed forms? Or if they prayed over these same forms in a foreign tongue what was the use of their meaning being inter- preted? Could not the peOple know perfectly well what was going on if it were the case that they had their prayer books before them? Indeed, this passage presents insurmountable difficulties to the advocates of litur- gies hence they usually leave it se- verely alone. A. B. ON LITURGICAL WORSHIP. gregation have one common voice. the voice of him who leads their de- votions. The Apostle Paul exhorts the members of the church “ with one mind and one mouth to glorify God.” Would any one infer that the Christians at Rome, therefore, must have had of necessity a fixed liturgy ?

U.S.A As for the letters of Reader. still unanswered, I may say that though I have occupied scores of inches less space than my opponent and though promised a chance to reply to all Reaper’s letters (Aug. 21) I bow gracefully to the wisdom of the ad- itor. Another letter may be neces- sary even at the expense of 82 a column. to vindicate Calvanism from the attack made upon it by Reader. As for the Apostolic Succession, in the Anglican and Romish sense. my candid Opinion is that the whole thing even in the fullest sense claim- ed by Reader is not worth $2 or any- thing, for that matter. It is a mere figment, unsupported by either Scrip- ture or History. Even though it iwere a fact and not a figment, there Iis not a word of Scripture to show that it would convey any privilege whatever. There is much in both Scripture and history to show that it is not of light but of darkness. Macaulay has shown as much and Reader has only revealed the weak- ness of his position by his attempt to refute the learned Historian. Sil~ ence would have been golden where so much had to be taken for granted and it would have been wisdom for Reader to remain silent. It is in- creditable that any logical mind can accept as proof such huge hiscorical? assumptions as he has been compelled ; to accept. Were I to use such twad- dle for argument and suchjllogical inferences for historical facts. as he has used, Reader would justly hold me up to ridicule and censure. A writer in England has written a pamphlet with the long title “The Apostolic Succession a fiction ; A Deception and an Impious Popish Imposture, the Church’s Weakness and England’s Shame,” andIrefer my readers to it for abrief statement of the other side of the case. If however it is found expedient to re- fute in these columns. the stale argu- ments of Sacerdotalists. the tax of $2 a column will be no bar to such pro- ceeding. It is hardly necessary to repeat that only those who support priestcraft place any value upon this fiction of Apostolic Succession for they find it necessary in their efforts to justify their false position of standing between the human soul and God, thus usurping the place of the living Christ who is the only priest of Evangelical Protestantism. ive.” It must be so with men who ere a. “voice and not merely an echo," when what they conceive to be truth is at stake.
