Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 24, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba .1 1 Tor it i j i j Gully was Satu widay fur 24, 1877. A Tho committal to prison of Tho Rev. Arthur tooth Tho ritualistic vicar of St. In pcs i Matchain is Likely to bring about Tho Long Ilo Ferrod but Oft pro Phosion Dis Stab Lis Mont of the Church of England. Tho do tails of his Affonco would have Little inter est for our read is suffice it to say that to persisted in introducing into Tho services of his Church Tho burning of noon so and other ritualistic innovations contrary to Law and to Tho express prohibition of the Bishop of Tho Dioloso and of Tho court before which to was cited. Asho persisted in his Contumacy defying alike the Law of Tho land and Public opinion Tho upshot of Tho matter has been his committal to prison. To sent word to one of Tho prison officers that to was ready to go and Tho writ was served on Jan. 22nd, when to was forthwith conveyed to Mongor Lane gaol. He was lodged in a room Oil Tho debtors Side of Tho prison and enjoys Tho privileges which have usually been accorded to debtors or to those committed for contempt of court. Tho particular Olve Noo for which or. Tooth is now suite Reg incarceration is Eon tempt of court and according to the theory of Tho Law to must rot in prison till that contempt is purged. It is impossible to believe however oven should to persist in his obstinacy that the deprivation of lib erty which to now suffers will to made per petrol. Now that one Clergyman has made himself famous by attaining Tho distinction of martyrdom How May others to restrained from seeking celebrity by imitation sup posing Tho gaol officials have to gather them in by Tho what is to to Tho end of it All Tho Rev. C. J. Risdall s Appeal against Tho judgment of Tho court of Arches which condemned him for ritualistic practices in St. Teter s Church to Lehtone was argued on Tho very next Day after or. Tooth s committal before the judicial com Mittee of Tho privy Council. Sixteen loads were present including the archbishop of Canterbury. The Appeal is practically a re hearing of the Purchase Case As it involves Tho same Points but in Tho former Case is the Clergyman did not put in an appearance no arguments Wero offered from his Point of View. Tho matter now to to settled is the legality of vestments wafer bread Tho eastward position and Tho use of a Crucifix lighted by candles on a screen be tween the Nave and Chancel. Aoe Ardiri to lord Penzance s recent decision however. Or. Tooth s Case will not be affected by the Risdall Appeal inasmuch As the inhibition which to set at Defiance was based on grounds that Are not at Issue before the appellate tribunal. As might Well to supposed Tho Contro Versy now raging in Tho anglican communion extremely bitter. Among Tho latest Inci dents Are the address of the Bishop of Clou Coster on clerical an address by scotch Ritualist to or. Tooth the of various High Church societies against the action of the court and a meeting in favour of Tho disestablishment of Tho chum i. Tiu i Eti Emliy Trio Public worship act made no difference in the re lations of Church and state. At any period since Tho reformation a Clergyman who Dis obeyed Tho Law in Tho ammo Way or. Tooth has might in been tried and. Punished in a like fashion. But previous to 1874 Tho procedure required to enforce obedience in Church matters was so costly complicated and difficult of execution that the Law could not be put into artion. Rely ing upon this immunity from interference Tho Ritualist defied not Only the authority of Tho Bishops was a much More serious prejudices or convictions of the great mass of englishmen. It was Felt that something must be done to hinder English churches from being practically employed for the performance of roman Catholic services and the of roman Catholic doctrines and Tho re sult of this sentiment was the Public Wor ship act. This act was introduced by the recorder of London Tho of old fashioned conservative Chu Ichman carried amidst acclamation by the government with the support of the Groat bulk of the Liberal party and opposed by or. Gladstone Al single handed. It has Long Boon predicted that total Sepa ration of Church and state in England would eventually to accomplished by Tho Dissen Sions within Tho anglican Community and to a firm conviction that the Day was near at hand when the end would be thus accomplished to May attribute Tho slackened efforts of Tho liberation society during the past few years and the Minisse Zaire attitude of Tho nonconformists generally. None but the Ritualist the Selvo can find pretexts to justify those who seek to defy the regulations of Tho religious body with which they voluntarily and solemnly associated them selves. When however a Man has to be deprived of his Liberty because he persists in scattering incense and making Gen flex ions according to his particular conscience the matter is undoubtedly a serious one. Practically the very Mildest apology Tho signed Promise to Obs Cain from further of fending would be gratefully received by Tho government As an excuse for releasing car. Tooth. J3ut if to declines to make an apology of any kind what is to be done if or. Touth is let go impenitent and tin p Luis Hod the Public worship act to a dead Lottor and the Ritualist will go on out raging Public opinion without fear of interference. If on the other hand or. Tooth stops in prison no one of his fellow Ritualist can yield to Tho authority of Tho Law courts without incurring Tho reproach of being false to his Faith and consequently there will to some More martyrs to canonize. According to our Tol Ogiami today Tho Ritualist will seek a solution of Tho difficulty by agitating for Tho disestablishment and disc dowmont of Tho Church of eng land. Varied and important interests Are mixed up with this question which make it one very Delica o to handle. Should or. G lads Tono undertake to Load a mov Omen t for Tho High Church party at his Backho would compel Tho old whigs to fall in with it. To might rely also on Tho support of Tho generally. It is reported that communications Havo already passed Between Tho liberation society and Tho Church Union which would seem to forecast a United Effort. Believing that no connection should exist Between Church and state in atty country to can but regard Tho present movement in eng land with satisfaction believing that a changed order of things will Conduce to Tho Progress of True religion by substituting wholesome emulation for the sentiments of jealousy which the according of exceptional privileges to any particular body cannot fail to engender. Tho material welfare More Over of Tho Church of England is not at All Likely to suffer by Tho obligation being thrown exclusively upon its own adherents of providing for its support. In Loco Parlia ment. The . On who 12th of february in Tho House of commons or. Snider North in the absence of or.
