To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Chicago, Sept. 27. —Your editorial and com munication teaching the anion of the tiro lead ing Anti-Roman Episcopal Churches in this country evince a generous, perhaps more than a judicious, nature. They advocate an impossi -1 ility on the basis they propose. The last and moat elaborate of these papers in your yester- issue is excellent in temper and full of good will. Yet— Not for all his faith can see Can we hie cowled churchmen be. The roots of the Methodist and Protestant Episcopal Churches, as you declare, are un doubtedly the same. Both sprang from a com mon stock, —the Established Church of England. Both contain the essentials of that Church in doctrines, in sacraments, in ordinations, and have substantially the same ritual for special oc casions. Both look back to that fountain with equal reverence. The Methodist Episcopalian is as proud of Oxford as the Protestant Episcopal ian, probably prouder. He visits its halls and gardens with the greatest reverence. There ho traces the steps of - his great founder, under God, and notes his influence from and on Lis tmi.versifcy. With all these points of resemblance, why can they not unite ? For these reasons. The Methodist Episcopal Church will not concede the invalidity of her ordinations, which conception would be required her by her sister church as a prerequisite to any union. She might even claim superior ordina tions. It is evident from this, as it is from all the acts of that church looking in the direction of union with other churches, that the Protestant Episcopalians will always demand that the union shall be*o them, and not by them ; that every church must accept them as their leader and mother, the source of ecclesiastical being. This is the tone throughout, though carefully guard ed, of this communication. It is the keystone of this church, its central and motive power. It would not be probable, I might always say possi ble, for the sister church to accept that passing under the Caudine Forks, as a preordination to this marriage. The union might be with her but not to her. You will note tho weight of this difficulty, if you consider ■a remark in this letter, that ** tho severance of the Methodists from the Church " —mark the phraseology; there is no recognition of the present cburcbUness of the Methodists— ‘•was an unusual thing, never contemplated by the founder of the brotherhood,** Mark, also, that lost word; for in these slight points are found the strong grounds against any such union as is in the mind of our brother, “ The Method ists " were never severed “from the Church,'* nor was John Wesley the founder of a “ broth erhood** Protestant and Methodist Episcopal Churches began* to be at not far from the same time, the Methodist Episcopal Church being the elder. If either should be united to the other, it should be the younger to tho elder, unless we are to suppose the Scripture to apply here, that the eldersbaUsnpply tho younger, and that is not union, but servitude. John Wesley did not in tend to sever, but to organize, the Methodist Episcopal Church. He ordained elders or pres byters, and consecrated a Bishop who was al ready a presbyter of the Church of England and a Doctor of Laws of Oxford. He instructed him to ordain and consecrate another person as elder and Bishop. He provided in hia book of Sunday service for the ordination of a Bishop under tho title of Snperintendent, which is the exact synomyn of Bishop. He established and set in order the Church iu America. Ho endeavored to essay a similar establishment in England, but the laws of England interfered with the open ex ecution of bis plana, and after his death his E teachers failed to carry out his purposes. He. owever, ordained presbyters in England and Scotland, and they administered the sacraments of baotiszn and the Eucharist. He also consecrated a Bishop for Great Britain, who was unwisely rejected by the minister* of his Church. The consequence is that they have an annual Bishop ric, ceasing with a single term, incapable of continual ro-election, and filling their body with a large number of ex-Superiatendenfes or Bish ops. H.d they accepted his plan, they would have been to-day the strongest church In En gland. This course your correspondent will not con sider consistent with one who was only, as he declares, a “ very earnest priest,** who “ lived and died in the bosom of the Church.** As a presbyter of the Church of England, such acta were in the highest degree revolutionary, and ecclesiastically treasonable. He did sot exercise these functions as a presbyter, as “an ardent priest,” but as a Bishop. Whence did he get his authority ? Either ha assumed it, and so set himself up as independent of bis Church, or ho received Episcopal author ity from some other souice than the Church of England. The fonnex he might have felt em powered to do by the Head of the Church, aa one to whom it bad been given to create a now Church, as all modem churches are new— Episcopalian, Baptist, Presbyterian, Congrega tional, and Lutheran. Bat Wesley was aa great a lover of “ a historic Church and its ministry ” as your correspondent says the Protestant Episcopalians are. He was a deep student of church history. Be knew every line along which this battle of the ages had been fought. Be was anxious to protect him self against any charge of being “a setter-up of strange gods ” ecclesiastic, of departing from the order and unity of the historic Church. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that be took no steps iu this direction till he had been him self ordained a Bishop. It is almost a historic certainty that be received such ordination from the hands of Erasmus, the Greek Bishop of Crete. Many incidents go to prove this fact. It is asserted on credible authority that when tho first Protestant Episcopal Bishop visited En gland to get consecrated, he called on the Bishop of London. The Bishop declined to serve him, sayiAg bo was prevented by tho act of
