A thoroughly competent teacher, however, will make these "Questions" of Mr. Huntington very useful; but they are not, in themselves, sufficiently suggestive. ECCLESIASTICAL RECONSTRUCTION. Letters to a Southern Bishop. By Catholicus. 8vo., pp. 8. Who the author of this querulous, unhistorical, illogical, ill-tempered, pamphlet is, we do not know. It is post-marked at Philadelphia. Its apparent object is, to delay, and perhaps defeat, the work of perfect Union in the Church. The cause of so much ill-humor seems to be, that, under the workings of the General Convention, as now constituted, the tone of sound Churchmanship is steadily improving in the Church, and wanton lawlessness now finds an effective check. A man who dares beard and defy his Bishop, finds it a different matter, to snub the whole Church. The design of the pamphlet is so obvious, and its argument so shallow, that it cannot do the least possible mischief. It has been scattered over certain portions of the Church extensively.

PAPERS OF THE Russo-GREEK COMMITTEE; Nos. VI. and VII. No. VI. contains the celebrated Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and of course is the Form in the Greek Church for the Administration of the Holy Communion. "This version," says the editor, Rev. J. Freeman Young, S. T. D., " of the Liturgy of the Orthodox Eastern Church, is the result of a collation of two works.-First, the ordinary Greek text of the Liturgy, as given in the Euchologion. This embraces the text and rubrics of the invariable portions of the Office. The other work is the Egkolpion (Manual) of Raphtane, which gives the text and rubrics of the parts performed by the choir and people, with full directions respecting the variable portions of the Office." No. VII. contains the Offices of Holy Baptism and Confirmation, of the Ordination of Deacons, Deaconesses, Priests, and Bishops, and of Confession, according to the use of the Catholic, Orthodox, Eastern Church. The Editor, Dr. Young, vouches for the accuracy of the translations of these representative works, and his own Notes throw still more light upon the Doctrines and usages of that Branch of the Church Catholic. THE RECORDS of Christ Church, New Brunswick, New Jersey. By the Rev. ALFred Stubbs, S. T. D., Rector of the Parish. 1865. 8vo., pp. 76. The Rector, Dr. Stubbs, may well be congratulated, as the successor of the distinguished men who have ministered in the same field before him,-Bishops Seabury, Hobart and Croes, and such men as the Rev. Abraham Beach, and still more, that, under his persistent and consistent administration, according to the Order and System of the Church, the Parish has steadily and surely reached its present position of strength. The Records make a valuable Historical pamphlet. The following new publications have been received. Several of them are particularly suggestive; and such comments as they deserve would fill entire pages of the Review. Our limited space forbids more than their announcement at present. MISS CAREW.

CONSECRATION OF THE MISSIONARY BISHOP OF NEBRASKA. The Rev. ROBERT H. CLARKSON, D. D., Rector of St. James' Church, Chicago, Ill., who was elected by the late General Convention, Missionary Bishop of Nebraska and Dacotah, was Consecrated in St. James' Church, Chicago, Nov. 15th. There were present six Bishops, viz: the Rt. Rev. Bishop Hopkins, the Presiding Bishop; Bishop Kemper, of Wisconsin; Bishop McCoskry, of Michigan; Bishop Lee, of Iowa; Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota; and Bishop Talbot, Assistant Bishop of Indiana; and also fifty-eight Priests and Deacons. Morning Prayer was commenced by Rev. Dr. Bishop, who read to the Creed, the Rev. Mr. Nash reading the First Lesson, and Rev. C. P. Clark the Second Lesson. The Rev. Dr. DeKoven read the Prayers. The 79th Selection was then sung. In the Ante-Communion Service, Bishop Kemper read the Collects, Bishop McCoskry the Epistle, and Bishop Lee the Gospel. The 25th Hymn was then sung. The Sermon was preached by Bishop Whipple, from the text, 2 Timothy, ii., 15. Bishops Kemper and Talbot presented the Bishop elect. Rev. C. Locke read the testimonial of the action of the House of Bishops, in the election of Dr. Clarkson. Rev.

The Presiding Bishop proceeded with the Consecration Service, the Bishops present joining him in the laying on of hands.

Bishop Lee read the Offertory, with the Prayer for Christ's Church Militant. Bishop McCoskry read the Exhortation and the following to the Consecration proper. Bishop Hopkins consecrated the Elements. After the administration of the Lord's Supper, of which a large number partook, Bishop Kemper read the Prayers following, Bishop Hopkins pronouncing the Benediction. In a day or two after the Consecration, the young Bishop was on his way to his distant field of hardship. In a previous farewell Sermon to his parishioners, he said:—“I know that the decision is right, and I want your fullest acquiescence. God knows I feel deeply and keenly my personal unfitness to take my stand in line with the Hebers, and Selwyns, and Paynes, and Kempers, and Talbots, and Whipples, who have illustrated, in glowing pictures, the missionary annals of the Church. But I have the prayer of God's people and the promises of God's Word to uphold me." Christ, New Brunswick, N.J. Trinity, Rochester, N. Y. |
