Bishop Macdonald.

Tue consecration of a coadjutor to the tishop of Charlottetown was the event of to-day. There is a tinge of sadness in the thought that the venerable prelate whom all know and all love is unable longer to bear the increasing cares and responsibilities incident to the personal oversight of his large and flourishing diocese. But this will be tempered by the knowlekge that he will have ease in his declining years. We have no doubt that Bishop Macdonald will aid him discreetly and zealously in every As a priest and pre- whom hands proved

good word and work. fessor, the man upon were laid to-day has self to be worthy of his high calling. Whether at the head of the parish or at ihe head of the there have been good fruits of his handiwork. The

done at St. Dunstau’s in recent years indeed, been of such a character as to evoke the admiration of men of learning Protestant as well as Catholic. We sin- cerely and heartily congratulate Bishop Macdonald, and trust that he will live many years to perform the duties apper- taining to the Episcopal oftice.

Besides che clergy named there were in attendance His Grace Archbishop O’Brien, Halifax, His Lordship Bishop Sweeney, St. John; Coadjutor Bishop Blais, of Rimouski, and nearly all the priests of the diocese. His Grace Archbishop O’Brien preached the sermon, which was a very powerful effort. He said :—

*‘] charge thee before God and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side.—1 Tim., V. 21.

My Lorps, Very Rey. anp Rev. Faruers, AND Dear FRIENDS:

The solemn and weighty words of my text were addressed to a Bishop more than eighteen hundred years ago, by an Apostle of the living God. St. Paul had enumer- ated, for the consideration of Timothy, some of the duties and obligations of the episcopacy, and after having touched on the rule to be followed in dealing with his priests, he solemnly charged him before God and His angels to shake off all preju- dice, to mete out even-handed justice, and not to decline to one side or the other. In a few short and pointed sentences, he draws the portrait of the model Bishop, outlines his duties, sets before him his ob- ligations, reminds him of his power, and warns him of his awful responsibilities. The consecration of a Bishop in Holy Church is, it is true, a festive occasion. Yet it is also a time for serious thought and prayerful reflection, not merely to the one raised to the plenitude of the priesthood, but to all who believe in the name of Jesus. What is a Bishop ? What and whence his power? Wherefore his oftice ond mission ? These are a few of the questions which sug- gest themselves to the mind of a Christian on an occasion like the present. Would that all men would seek in good faith an answer to these queries. Were they to do so, they would find that just as law and order, not chaos, is the state destined by God for the physical world, so, too, law, order and government, not confusion and contradiction, are by his disposition to pre- side over the spiritual kingdom of men’s souls. This primary truth is poorly appre- hended in the restless whirl of our modern life, and, as a consequence, the religious belief of many is vague and shadowy, and sadly out of joint with the evidences of Revelation. The existence of a true and living priesthood is an integral portion of the Christian system; its recognition an es- sential part of Christian belief; its minis- trations necessary for growth in the Chris- tian life.

The priesthood is as indispensable in the religious order as light and sunshine in the physical. Without the priesthood there is no Christianity, just as without light and sunshine there is no ripening of fruit. In a dark cellar 4n unhealthy vegetation may take place, a sickly counterfeit of an open- air plant may be produced; even so without a living priesthood there can be no growth of Christ’s kingdom. Onan occasion like the present we deem it opportune to offer some considerations on the christian priest- hood, its institution and its place in the plan of redemption. Anyone who knows how to read can easily satisfy himself that in the Old Law there was by disp ssit.ou of the Almighty, a regularly constituted pries:- hood whose duties and priviles are clearly laid down. There were sacrifices, and, con- sequently, there had to be priests; there were altars, and, therefore, there were those who should serve thereat. There were various grades, or orders, in the Jew- ish priesthood, with their corresponding duties and prerogatives. All this is very clear from Holy Writ, and proves to us how God, condescending in His mercy to human weakness, deigns to use the min- istry of man for the santification of our race. By the coming and death of our divine Saviour, the act of redemption was accomplished, ihe prophecies received their fulfillment, the Old Law its pertections, and the eternal priesthood of the New Law was instituted. We must bear in mind that the work of God is never destroyed; no particle of physical matter is ever auni- hilated; it may, indeed, pass through changes and transformations, but it is never lost. So, too, the work of the A\)- mighty in the order of grace is never made void; his truths are never changed; his plan and system are never abrogated. Hence, with the institution of the Gospel dispen- sation,the work of sanctification of the souls of men went forward, developed indeed, as to form and perfection of means, but on the same lines, and towards the same end; His truths were more clearly unfolded in keeping the onward march of the human intellect, but they remained ever consistent with themselves; his plan and system of using the ministry of man for the santifi- cationof souls were perfected,not destroyed. Hence the Priesthood of the Catholic Church is as mucha part of the texture and fibre of Christianity as was the Jewish Sacerdotal order of that of the Gld Law. No man who will read in good {faith the writings of St. Paul, especially the Epistle to Timothy and Titus can doubt this. Throughout them he gives abundani (esti- mony to the divine origin and lofty pre- rogatives of the Catholic Priesthood, They are the ambassadors of Christ, offering the nnspotted sacrifice, Zand dispensing the mysteries of God. Paul announces him- self as divinely commissioned by Christ to

po to Jew and Gentile ; he constitutes | imothy and Titus bishops, to preside over

certain territories, to regulate their re- ligious affairs, and to provide for oe spiritual wants. He charged them ce ‘keep the good deposited in trust by the) Holy Ghost,” (2 Tim, 1-24) clearly showing that their office and power were, like his ‘own, from God, not from man. He tells | | Titus {that he should ‘‘ordain priests In ‘every city, as I als» appointed thee, (Tit. 1-5,) making it evident to every in- * that there was to be by God's a succession and a continu vtion Order. There is no un-

telligence disposition, of the Priestly

certain C ro Paul. He claims to be an Apostle of Christ, |

ed by him have power to ordain, and should ordain others. Those then who profess to have their belief on the teachings of Holy Writ are inexcusable if they deny a divinely instituted priestly order in the New Law—an order whose duty it ist» offer sacrifice, to teach the word of God, and to dispense his sacraments. And yet how many refuse to accept this trath whilst professing to ground their belief on the words of Scripture. Let us hope that men of good will, sincerely desirous of knowing the truth will reflect on this, and recognize that as the figures of the Old Law have been fulfilled in the New, sotoo the plan and system of the sacerdotal ministry have attained their perfection in the Priesthood of Christianity. We have here the develop- ment and perfection of religion, not its distinction, for Christ came not to destroy the Law, but to fulfilit. Since, then, it is clear from Scripture that the Revelation of Christ has to be taught to mankind by a divinely instituted Priesthood, it follows that where such Priesthood is denied or not received, the fulness of God’s truth is not there, and the means of sanctification supplied through the Ministry are unattain- able. This is why such fierce wars are waged against the Catholic clergy, because their instigator, Satan. knows that where the priest is there the power of God is brought to bear against vice and corruption and indifference that flourish, where the priestly ministry is not exercised. Hence the calumnies against Popes and Bishops and Priests, repeated from age to age, and set down as facts in so-called histories. Hence, too, the silly charges made in our own day against what many affect to scorn by calling it Sacerdotalism. Let us not fear to speak plainly. Although hundreds who write and speak derisively of the Ecclesias- tical Order may not be bad living men,may,

in fact, do many deeds of hu- man beneficence, still they are quite unconsciously it may be, the instru- ments of the enemy of our soul. In the

lodge rooms of the various secret societies the spirit of oppositicn to ecclesiastical authority is evoked, whence it goes forth and takes possession of unthinking victims. We are not surprised that the impious and licentious should hate what they term sacer- dotalism; it is quite natural that they should, for it isthe oneonly power on earth capable of grappling with and overcoming themselves, and of frustrating their schemes for the withdrawal of souls from God. But it is sad to see men who at heart are not bad misled by the senselegs cry,—to see them denying an evident truth of revela- tion,—rejecting an integral portion of the plan of regeneration, and acting most un- justly toward that Order to which they owe in full their civilization, and almost wholly their human liberty and the. recognition of their individval rights. A fact may be denied; the world may refuse to believe it; but it can never be confuted, It will stand in eternal record, despite the efforts of ma- licious enemies, or misguided indifferentists to blot it out, or to cover it from view. The fact of what mankind owes to the Catholic Church and its priesthood for its civilization and its liberty, is broadly writ- ten across the face of the world’s history, is indeliably stamped on its every page, and forms the brighest and most consoling of its episodes. On the ground alone of em- inent services rendered humanity, our priesthood has a claim on the human race that only a blinded bigot or a heartless in- grate would deny or ignore. It is well io recall this truth on an occasion like the present; to set it in evidence for the consid- eration of those who, in the hurry of life or through the misrepresentation of text- books, may not have had an opportunity of studying it dispassionately. Painstaking historians like Guizot and Ancillon, al- though not of our faith, bear ready witness to the many benefits conferred on mankind by the Church, and chiefly through the clergy. Speaking of the papacy, Ancillon says: ‘‘It alone, perhaps, saved Europe from total barbarism. It prevented and arrested the despotism of the emperors,

compensated _— for the want of equilibrium, and diminished the in- conveniencies of the feudal system.”

And Guizot, spe :king of the action of the Church in repressiny wars, and in bringing about order and mildness in society says: ** These facts are sv weli known that 1 am spared the trouble vi entering into any de- tail.” Were Guizot alive to-day he would be surprised to see how some whv lay pre- tentions to be called educated, are ignorant of and deny what was so evident to him. The priesthood of tl Church, and chiefly its heid on earth, the Pope, restrained the barbarians in their incursions, or tamed and subdued them after they had overrun the West. On the ruins of the Roman Empire, and of the old civilization, the Church built up and consolidated the kingdoms of Europe, secured the gradual extinction of slavery, sanctified the home life by up- holding the inviolatibility of the marriage bond, curbed the tyranny of emperors and kings, safe-guarded the rights of the in- dividual, taught letters and arts,and warm- ed to life and action the intellectual facul- ties of the race. Men talk of their freedom to-day, but what vestige of liberty would be theirs had not Popes like Leo the Great gone forth and turned aside the Attalas of their »ge ; or Popes like the indomitable ‘Lildebrand championed the cause of the people against the Henrys of each genera- tion! What grander or more ennobling spectacle can the annals of the world unfold from their many pages than that of some weak old man, a Pope, standing unfearing and unconquered amidst the disruption of society, and the desolation of war, proclaim- ing to a victorious Ruler the law of God, and threatening his vengeance? He has no well-armed legions of men, but he is mailed in the might of truthand is endued with a spiritual power before which the rude brute force of the conqueror is abashed, and before which he bows down in sullen subjugation. Not once, but many times, that scene has been enacted, and mankind jeach time contracted a fresh debt of grati- ,tude to Sacerdotalism. In our own cen- tury the unarmed and enfeebled Pius VII,

-

and he asserts that those Bishops constitut- |

cence

defied the might of the First Napoleon, then at the zenith of his power, whilst the Pope was a prisoner and alone. Physical force in all its brute strength and pride of victory was arrayed against the spiritual yower, represented by the broken and aged Pontiff. The Emperor who had armies

innumerable, who had won a_ series of brilliant victories, bringing kings to his footstool, and breaking up the leagues of his oppenents, con-

fronts the Pope who is also his prisoner.

n- History does notsupply a parallel case,— sound about the utterances of St. |

one in which the mightiest human power is brought into such direct contact with and contradiction to the Spiritual. And what was the result? Remember we speak of no very distant date. Men are still living who can recall to memory those days. What was the result? The conqueror of nations was conquered by the aged Pope. Can any reasonable man doubt that a di- vine power upheld and sustained the Pon- tiff? Unless we acknowledge this we must say that an enormous earthly power was baffled by an exceedingly weak one ; and if supernatural power upheld thegPope then God bore witness in our own century to the divine institution of the Papacy and the Priesthood. Moreover in our owncen- tury Europe has had much cause for grati- tude to the Papacy on account of the noble resistance of Pius VII to Napoleon. Need we speak of what the Sacerdutal power has done for alleviating human misery, for pre- serving human life, and rescuing the un- fortunate. To it we owe the origin of our humane institutions of every degree and kind, orphanages, asylums, homes, Hospit+ als and houses forthe once abandoned lepers. Need we recall what that same pewer has done for the arts and sciences. How many who thoughtlessly and thanklessly declaim against the religious orders forget that but for those depised monks they would, in all human probability, be unable to write, and certainly would know nothing of the liter- ature of the past, which was preserved and transcribed and handed down to us by those quiet heroes of the cloisters of the Middle Ages. All this is old news to the thoughtful student of history; still we must repeat it again and agaif¥, and shout it into the ears of the present generation from whom it is sought to be hidden. Let us never weary of reminding the world that to the sacerdotal order it is indebted notonly | for its spiritual ministrations but also for all thatis best and humanizing in our civil- ization and most praiseworthy in our form of government, and most refining in our social system. And here to-day another link is added to the lengthening chain of Apostolic Succession,—that chain which has run down the ages binding each epoch of church history to the other, and linking them all tw God. That legitimate succession has never been broken in our Church : as Sc. Paul consti- tuted Timothy and Titus, so they ordained others, who also appointed still others to continue the work of Christ on earth. It is indeed true that the links in that long chain have not been all of equal material or temperament. Some have been of re- fined gold, some of silver, others of iron, or brass, or even of a baser metal. Yet, just as the transmission of the electric current will take place through a chain made up of links of such varying metals, just so have the power and prerogatives, the graces and the gifts of the episcopal office come down despite the personal qualities of the various Bishops who make up the chain of succes- sion. To you, my dear friends of the diecese, one word. Both in temporal and spiritual matters God has been very good to you. Nowhere, perhaps, are the condi- tions of life so easy as in this favored Isle; and in few places on this continent can people attend so easily to their spiritual duties as here. The light of Faith has shone brightly round your cradles; its sav- ing teachings have guided your youthful

steps; its pure precepts of mor- ality have been beacon lights to warn you of danger on the road

of later life; its graces have flown abundant- ly over your souls through the channels of the sacraments. Peace and quiet and unity have marked this divcese with the seal of God’s favor. To-day, a prelate, who, in human probability, will one day be your Bislfop in its fullest sense, has been conse- crated. “He is no stranger to you, nor is he unaware of your wants and aspirations. In the words of St. Paul I say to you : **Obey your prelates, and be subject to them; for they watch as being to render an account of your souls.” ‘By your hearty co-opera- tion and cheerful obedience so act that in the words of the Apostle ‘They may do this with joy and not with grief.’—(Heb. XII 17.)

To you, Rt. Rev. Brother in Christ, I would respectfully suggest for your consid- eration the words of St. Paul: O Timothy keep that which is committed to thytrust.” Souls are committed to thytrust—the souls of Priests and people. A ‘*Priest forever, according to the order of Melchisadech” should be like unto him ‘‘without father, without mother, genealogy” (Heb. vii—3). In order to be faithful to that trust ofsouls the High Priest must be without genealogy without family, without special friends. He must stand alone at the head of his flock, with no human ties of father, or mother, called by God, not for himself but ‘appointed for men in the things thac appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sin,” (Heb, v-1.) Sublime, in truth, is the dignity, but awful the resp usibility, and difficulc the task of him who would be a model Bishop, Hence the solemn adjuration cf St. Paul: **I charge thee before God and Christ Jesus, «nd th» elt angels, thet thou observe iins things wiihout pre- judice, doing nothing by declinmmg to either side, (1 Tim. v-21.) But if the road a Bishop should tread be « thorny one, —if violence must be done at times to his feel- ings, his sympathies and his affections in order to hold the balance of justice with an unswerving hand, the consolations will be many and the reward exceeding great. A few short years of faithful administration and then an eternity of happiness.

Do you, my dear friends, pray for your new Prelate whilst he offers sacrifices for you, so that in Christ’s great day of reckon- ing, after having been united in bonds of faith and love in the world, you may, one and all, be united forever in the fruition of eternal bliss.
