Every one knows that thought Howe

somewhat interested or roused, and
bow the brain is kindled into action!

no crucifix over
the tabernacle, which we had always
noticed in Catholic churches before,
pft an occasional visit. But as i^ as
it were, to compensate for all this
gloom, there appeared on a little aide
altar the sacrament, for such we learn
it was, under a canopy surrounded by
an array of lights and flowers.
We did not get there at the com-
meneeaaent of the ceremonies, and
theraftae cannot describe them. When
we entered, the officiating priest was
Then followed
by the Rev. Father Burtin,
the successor of Father Augustine in
the charge of the parish. Although
Father Berlin is French, he spoke
English with hardly any foreign ac-
cent. But we did not sit down to
speak about the preacher or the ser-
mon, except so fer as the subject of
the latter might have to do with the
cereaMny. Its subject was. The Suf-
ferings of Christ, the man of sorrows,
and ho concluded with an eloquent
appeal to his flock not let all these
sufferings be for them in vain; which
they would surely be if they did not
lead pious lives, keep the command-
ments, and frequent the sacraments.
But we are are digressing; we wish
to confine ourselves to the ceremony.
The sermon ended, a deacon hand-
ed the priest a veiled cross, which he
began to unveil; this was done grad-
ually, the assistants chanting what,
from our imperfect knowledge of
Latin, we understood to be, "Behold
the wood of the cross on which hung
the salvation of the world.'1 The
cross was then placed on a cushion at
the foot of the altar, and venerated in
sacceaaion by each approaching, kneel-
ing and kissing the wounds of the
Savior—first the priest, then the as-
sisting officials. It was then brought
beyond the sacristy and placed at the
footl? tin communion table, on an-
other' cushion, between two lighted
candles, and venerated by the congre-
gation ia like manner, one by one,
each advancing, kneeling and kissing
the wounds of Christ. Solemn and
mournful chants being sung all while.
We noticed that many of the worship-
pers were bathed in team. This con-
cluded, the crucifix was ^en elevated,
with much ceremony, tons usual place
on the altar. The priest and asnst-
ante than proceeded, with incense, to
the little altar on which reposed the
blessed sacrament, while a moat beau -
titnl hymn was sung. The priest,
now richly dad, incensed the host
and carried it to the altar, on which
the assistants had, in the meanwhile,
replaced lights and ornaments. To
be short, die receiving of the sacra-
meat by the priest closed the Cere- j
monies.
And this we said is the celebrated J
and mach abused ceremony of worr j
shipping the cross a ceremony, (of
this we say nothing, for we are neith-
er bigots nor Sectarians,} which, what- !
ever be its "value before God, appear |
ed to our thinking, innocent, impres- j
give, and calculated to excite senti- j
ments of eontritiou for sin, humility,
and sympathy with the sufferings of
tbe Redeemer. Why, why. we said,

'Wr Bishops, can make any objec-
tion to the proposition to increase the
aamberof Bishops sufficiently to pro-
ride one for the government and care
af each Annntl Conference, surpasses
oar comprehension. The value of
the change is so apparent that it
needs no argument.
Indeed, the opposition to it is not
founded upon reason at all, but upon
a complicated series of antiquated,
unreasonable, and bigoted prejudices
which have taken root in the
mental soil of a certain class of the
Methodist clergy, and which, like
certain invincible grasses, send out
aew roots from every joint, and be-
come more diffused abroad the more
they are plowed up by the sharp
share of reason and common sense.
These prejudices do not exist to
any great extent in the great body of
the laity, but as they have no voice
1a tbe legislation of the Church, these
oH fogy clerical prejudices have un-
checked and unmodified sway. The
enlightened minds of the clergy have
for many years seen the philosophical
necessity of both a pastoral ministry
sod a pastoral episcopacy, but, as yet,
very few of them have been willing
to jeopardize their popularity and
limit their influence by undertaking
to stem the current of the prejudices
of a certain class of Methodist preach-
s.
It seems a strange tiling that the
opponents of this measure are not able
to see that it is really more in harmo-
ny with the Methodist ideal of the
ministry than the present plan. They
have a pastor for each charge, which is
a station, a circuit, oramission. Then
they have a Presiding Elder for each
District, which is composed of several
charges, and the Presiding Elder vis-
its and holds a Quarterly Conference
with each chargs once a quarter.—
Now, a Bishop te charge of each An-
nual Conference, composed of a large
number of Districts, is te precise ac-
cordance with the whole system.
But instead of that they have a
few Bishop*, not more than six, and
half of them old and feeble, for the
pastoral oversight of all the Annual
Conferences te the Southern States,
to which is to be added their Confer-
ences te California and Oregbn ! The
absurdity of such a plan is so.mani-
fest that it is painful to any mind in-
terested te the reputation and pros-
perity of the Methodist Church, to
have to admit that it has been impos-
sible heretofore to win acceptance of
the " more excellent way.'"
As has been above intimated, it is a
notable fact that whenever the Bis-
hops of the Methodist Church have
the opportunity of traveling, preach-
ing, and exercising the functions of
their Epiacopal office in any part of
the territory of the Cbufclr, tire bene-
fit to the Church is incalculably great.
And if each Conference could enjoy
the labors, serviced and Episcopal care
and influence of a Bishop, chosen,
without regard to locality, from that
large class of talented, educated, ex-
perienced and d -voted clergymen
with which the Southern Church is
blessed, the administration of disci-
pline would be H re uniform and au-
thoritative, the ministry would be
more united and active, tire devotion
of the memheaahip to the Church and
to Jbe ranee at religion, would be
gnntly increased, and the Church
infinitely more proe-
