Let him go into parliament ; let him fall in love ; let him be converted , and go out into heathen lands as a missionary ; let him head an insurrection in some country where oppression is too grievous to be borne ; let him do , be , or suffer anything that will give singleness of aim , concentration , intensity , to nis great and varied faculties , and he will then be redeemed to the high destiny to which he was born .

By the Writer of Daily Bread and Deliverance from Evil , After the determination of the Aristocracy to abide by the Corn Laws , what are our hopes of Church Reform from the present Ministry ? They are summed up in a proverb , which we have f
either heard or invented—Blessed is the man who expecteth little , verily he shall not disappointed . ' We have as little doubt about the timidity of the Whigs , as about the obstinacy of the Church . The Lord Chancellor will not have the courage to bring forward any Church Reform , of which he cannot say to Archbishops and Bishops , Deans and Chapters , in the set form of Convocation , Placetne vobis , Domini Doctores ?* Placetne vobis
Magistri ? and the High Church will have the obstinacy to prefer swimming on with the evils temporal and spiritual which are destroying it , to getting rid of the danger by an effectual Reform . It is only an insufficient and ineffective Church Reform about which Convocation will answer the Lord Chancellor , Placet nobis , Domini * Doctoribus . Placet nobis , Maoistris .
With hardly a single exception we have no confidence in Episcopal sincerity . We would abide by the secret opinions , temporal Had spiritual , of many on the Bench . But in their public professions , coute qui coUte , we place little faith . What can be said of an Evangelical Bishop , deprecating the name of Watts , the Dissenter , whom even the High Church Doctor delighted to honour ,
appeariug on the minutes of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge ? What can be said of a political Bishop deprecating the children of Irish Protestants and Catholics being taught together some of the thousand things about which they may learn to agree . What shall be said of a latitudinarian Bishop
enforcing on the clergy of his diocess , the reading of that Athanasian creed , which pronounces of all , save only the extreme orthodox , ' without doubt , they shall perish everlastingly . * Of the Government which sacrifices Church and State to the opinions and interests of such men we will venture a prophecy . A little while , and the Whigs were teaching the people to sneer at the Church . A * Duet it pW *«« , you , Lords Doetora ? Do— it ptaut you , Regent Manteis ?
