1 845J "PUSEYISM" 73 



The contrast between his views and those of the Puseyites 

 was made very apparent by the conduct of a young clergyman 

 who had just settled at Stand. He writes, " Last Tuesday I 

 had a small adventure with the curate. There was a great 

 church tea-party, and as it was given out to be a public one, I 

 proceeded to go. However, Mr. C. politely asked me at the 

 door not to go in ; whereat I gave my ticket to some one and 

 walked off, satisfied that I had ' done the civil thing,' and 

 should henceforth have a good answer to him whenever he 

 asked me why I did not come to church. His conduct has 

 not ' given great satisfaction ' in the neighbourhood, and on 

 Saturday the good man called to semi-apologize, and seemed 

 surprised that I took it so quietly. He thinks me his great 

 rival, and that I have no business to go anywhere ; that it is a 

 dreadful sin for any unepiscopated person to preach, and that 

 religion consists in being baptized, going to church, and taking 

 the sacrament. His high Puseyitical notions don't suit well 

 with his disposition, which is very open, affable, and pleasing. 

 The anti-dissenting part of the church-people like him very 

 much. It's such an easy way to damn all the Dissenters in 

 a lump." 



The Catholic Church, on the eve of Good Friday, com- 

 memorates the anniversary of the washing of the disciples' 

 feet, as described by John; but the Rev. H. Hawkes, of 

 Portsmouth, drew the attention of his Denomination to the 

 peculiar suitableness of hallowing that evening as the anni- 

 versary of the Lord's Supper. Philip accorded in this view, 

 and now commenced the practice, which he continued at 

 Warrington. He showed forth the Lord's death with his friends 

 in the house where he conducted his week-night service, and 

 read with them the Gospel narratives of that night of nights. 



Fresh efforts were made this year to seek and to save the 

 lost. A Temperance Institute was established at " Besse's," 

 with a reading-room, lectures on scientific subjects and tem- 

 perance, and day, night, and Sunday schools ; and on Sunday 

 evenings he, and preachers of various Denominations, conducted 

 a religious service, addressing many who used to spend the day
