liberal education, part, is the most important for a teacher, we would advise the Govern

ment—if they are not altogether lost to a consideration for the interests of educ ation —to appoint Mr. George E. Robinso~, B, A., a young man of excellent parts, specially fitted for work in mathematics, and fully competent to afford instruction in Classics and English. We know of no man better qualified to fill the vacancy. We do not know whether Mr. Robinson is an appli- cant or not—the mest competent are geuct- ally the leaat obtrusire—but he should, at

least, beasked to accept the appointment. " "The action of the late Government towards the Prince of Wales College is a warrant for assuming that when the reins of power are again entrusted to them there would be no interference with Mr. Robinson, pro- vided that his work is done satisfactori'y. But if a man is appointed with no higher qualifications than a first-class license and a Grit recovxd, we can give no assurances of non-dismiasal. To be successful, a teacher must know more than teach. For this teacher can dg the work required.

The Irish

arty.

Tue hope that the Irish party would re- unite, now that the cause of the division is removed, seems to be vain. A manifesto has been issued by the followers of Par- nell, in which it declares that there can ke n> union —** with men who are immediately responsible for the disraption of the Nat- ional party, who, in obedience to foreign dictation, hounded to death the foremost man of our race, we can have no fellow- ship.” It seems to be forgotten that the main great cause for the ‘* disruption ” was Parnell’s sin. The promotion of Ireland's cause is to be hindered because Parnell’s thick and thia supporters decline to work together with those who would not follow

the respondent in the O'Shea case

While this is to be regretted by all true lovers of Ireland, it is pleasing to read the following letter from Parnell to O’Brien (just published) showing that Parnell him- self fully appreciated the scruples of those of the Irish party who felt that they could no longer remain under his leadership :

My Dear O’Brien,—! desire to express to you how deeply I feel the kindness and gentleness of the spirit shown to me by you throughout the negotiations. I have felt all along that I had no right to expect from anybody the constant onxiety to mect my views, the intense desire that all pro- posals claiming your sanction should be as palatable as possible to me, which so dis- tinguished your conduct in the communi-

cations which passed between us. 1 know that you have forgiven much rough- ness and asperity on my part and that you have made al-

lowance for some unreasonable conduct from me which to anybody gifted with less patience and sonciliation than yourself would have been most difficult. I »ppreciate intensely the difficulties which surrounded you during the negotiations; the constant daily anxiety which would have been overwhelming to any- body possessed of less courage and devotion than yourself. I fervently hope and believe that the prospects of Ireland are not so dark as you fear, and that after a little time, having passed through the darkness we shall again stand on our former footing, when in happier days we were comrades in arms in behalf of a United Ireland. Dear O’Brien, I am always yours, CHARLES S, PARNELL.

The following story is told of the writing by Count Von Moltke of that volame of his Memoirs which relates to the Franco-Ger- man war of 1870, and which has just been published by Harper & Brothers : ‘‘The Count had again been entreated to make use of his Jeisure at Creisau- by noting down his reminiscences of the great strug- gle. But, with that modesty and dislike of marade which were among his most noted characteristics, he refused to write any- ‘hing in the shape of memoirs, saying that only served to gratify the writer's Still, the idea of compiling an ac- count cf the war, which should be less de- tailed and technical than the ofticial his- root in his mind, and after a lit- tle more judicious persuading, he consent- ed to enter upon the task. He began it ip the spring of 1837, working at it for three hours every morning, and placed it in his son's hands completed in January, 1883. Characteristically, he never alluded to the matter, but left its future to his son’s, Major Von Moltke’s, discretion.”

A — Letter from Rey James Simpson.

vanity.

tory, took

Dear Mr. Hamtyn,—I notice a letter from you upon the subject of Confession and Absolution in this morning's Guardian. { would remind you thatthe question I raised was: ** Is Confession and Absolution permitted by the Church of England ?” Whether it is Scriptural or un-Scriptural, right or wrong, has nothing to do with the point at issue.

In your sermon, as rep yrted in the Guar- dian of September 29th, you make the ful- lowing statement: ‘I do not hesitate to and | say it solemnly as in Goc’s sight,

Say,

that I fully believe that the devil has never invented a more successful scheme for ruining the bodies and souls’ of thousands than this doctrine of auri- cular confession and priestly absolution.” In yonr letter published in the same paper

on Uct. 17th, you admit that when you wrote the sermon you were referring ** bo the teaching of the so called * Father Huntington.” Therefore you were refer- ring to my teaching, wh ch is the same as his.

Now, the Church of England must either allow private confession, or—she must pro- hibit it. If she allows it, you, as a priest of that church, have no right to denounce those who hear such confessions as doing the devils’ work. If she prohibits tt, L have no right to h it while | remain in that church.

I maintained in my sermon of Oct. 4:b, that the Church of England sanctioned confession to a priestfor those who feit

$s Leac

the need of it; that if a person were sick the priest was ordered to move him ‘‘to make a special confession of his sins if he feel his

conscience troubled with any weighty mat- ter.” After which confession the priest shall absolve him (if he humbly and heart- ily desire it) after this sort :

“Qur Lord Jesus Christ who hath left power to his Church to absolve all sinners who truly repent and believe in him, of his great mercy forgive thee thine offences : and by his authority committed to me I absolve the2 from all thy sins. in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of t'e Holy Ghost. Amen.’ (Offic. for the Visitation of the Sick.)

That absolution is clear, definite, sacer- dotal and stronger, I. believe, than any in the Roman Catholic Church. There is no possible chance vf confounding it with ‘ghostly counsel and advice,” and you ac- knowledge in your letter of to-day that you ‘regard it as unfortunate that in the Or- dinal and in the Visitation of the Sick the compilers of our prayer book were not more guarded and explicit than they have been in the words they adopted.” But so long as the words are there (and there were plenty of opportunities of altering them if the Church had desired to do sv) you have no right to declare that the clergy who use them are ruining bodies and souls.

I positively decline to discuss religious subjects in the newspapers, now or at any time, but I make you these offers :

To leave the decision of the question, ‘‘Does the Church of England under any circum. stances allow private Confession and Absolu- tion: or does she positively condemn the practice,” either (i) to the;House of Bishops (eleven) of the Province of Canada; or (ii) to the Metropolitan Bishop of the Province of Canada; or (iii) to the Bishop of the Diocese; or (iv) to any twelve beneficed clergy of the Vyiocese of Nova Scotia; or (v) to all the Clergy of the Charch of England in the Proviace of P. E. L; or (vi) to twelve intelligent and unprejudiced communicants of the Church of England in Charlottetown.

Lhave sent a copy of this letter to the daily papers.

Yours faithfully, JAMES SIMPSON, Priest Incumbent, St. Peter’s Church.

The Guardian's Inaccuracy.

Srr,—In an article in the Guardian of to- day the following appears: ‘tA word in conclusion from Bishop Lightfoot, the most learned of living Anglican authorities.” It is not only of theology that the writer is ignorant, but also of commonplace knowl- edge of everyday facts. Every schoolboy knows that Bishop Lightfoot has been dead for nearly two years.
