falsehood. Protestant in due time became the true term, and gave its historic testimony to the pure and true Church. Viewing each in its time, Catholic and Protestant are in harmony. The term Episcopal likewise testifies to the true Government of the Church.

Bishop Otey contended that the term Protestant is derived from Germany, and was not originally directed against errors in the Church of Rome. He alluded to the present war as the result, in his belief, of ultra Protestantism or Puritanism. He objected more particularly to the expression, "In the Confederate States." It was entangling.

The

Bishop Lay, of Arkansas, gave as a strong reason why the name should be retained, that its origin could not be discovered. Names gradually came into use. reasons for their adaptation were in the course of time lost sight of, but the necessity for retaining them continued. When names were changed, principles often were. He thought Protestant affirmed the position of the Church in respect to the accretions of Rome, and Episcopal did so likewise as to the subtractions of other denominations. We should also not assume a name which others could not recognize as rightfully ours, without denying their own principles.

Bishop Meade, from the chair, expressed the deep regret he felt in putting the question. He implored his brethren to pause and consider well the results of the contemplated action. They might give aid and comfort to their enemies, and inflict incurable wounds upon their friends, whose affections they might alienate, and whose support they might lose.

Bishop Johns was sure that Virginia would not have sent delegates if she had thought this subject was to be discussed. The outcry against the term Protestant commenced in a little clique in Oxford, that tried to deprotestantize the world. He did not like to follow their lead. He feared that if the name be changed, it would be the beginning of division, and lead to disintegration to a greater or less extent. Bishop Atkinson urged that names should correspond to things. They should be distinctive. He thought the term Reformed more expressive than Protestant. The Jansenists protest, but do not reform His preference was for the Reformed

Catholic Church. He considered the choice to be between Protestant and Reformed. Reformed expressed a fact, Protestant a spirit, and one that he could not approve of Emerson, Beecher, Parker, Strauss, etc,, were all Protestants, yet Emerson believed the leaves of the forest were God. The term, besides denoting unrest, doubt, denial and unbelief, was indefinite, and inexpressive of anything good. He liked the word Catholic, because it indicates the continuity of the Church of Christ. The state of religious feeling in Geneva, Holland, and elsewhere in Europe, among the sects called Protestant, was not such as to recommend the name, except where the influence of the English Church was felt, and produce a better sentiment.

Bishop Gregg agreed with the Bishop of North Carolina entirely as to the facts, but thought it wholly inexpedient to make any change.

Several of the Presbyters and Laity spoke pointedly. The vote was ordered to be taken by Yeas and Nays, and was as follows.

Of the Bishops, ayes 3, noes 6: of the Clergy, ayes 2, noes 7; of the Laity, five Dioceses voted no-one divided-so the motion was lost.

Judge Phelan moved to strike out the first section, and insert, "The Church shall be called the Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America." The resolution was lost. Bishops, ayes 2, noes 7; Clergy, ayes 2, noes 7; Laity, ayes 1, noes 4; divided 1.

Bishop Elliot moved to amend the first article, so as to make it read, "This Church, retaining the name of Protestant Episcopal, shall be known as 'The Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America.'" The motion was carried. Bishops, ayes 6, noes 3; Clergy, ayes 7, noes 2; Laity, ayes 4, noes 1; divided 1.

SCHISM IN THE DIOCESE OF ILLINOIS.

In a Report of a late Meeting of the "Pastoral Aid Society," at Freeport, Ill., we find the following significant paragraphs. "Committees were also appointed for the purpose of procuring suitable laborers for the work of the Pastoral Aid

Society, (to which this body is subordinate,) and for reconnoitering the various fields now open for the efforts of the Society, and to look after other matters connected with supplying these various places with the preaching of the gospel." If this Society, though merely voluntary, were acting in harmony with the Ecclesiastical authorities of the Diocese, there might be some excuse for its irregularity. But when the judgment and feelings of the Bishop and the Convention have been so decidedly and officially expressed, and the wants of the Diocese, and the need of united and efficient action are so imperious, it is difficult to see how these men can reconcile their conduct with their Ordination Vows. We do not doubt that, as a class, these men are good men in their way; some of them are well known at the East; we have been strongly tempted sometimes to sketch a few portraits of some of the noisest and bitterest of the party leaders and disorganizers; certainly their own estimate of their own comparative piety is very extraordinary. They are, we believe, generally Calvinists in doctrine. The Bishop at the late Convention, thus noticed the Pastoral Aid Society. "As it meets my experience, that system, as administered, tends to make parishes and ministers stipendiaries for opinion; introduces discordant views into the feeble churches; engenders mutual distrust; classifies the clergy by arbitrary and forced distinctions; exasperates local differences; and, under the appearance of helping the Diocese by bearing a selected portion of its burthen, ignores it as a whole, and, in its parts, works irrespective of it, and against it within its own borders."

THE BURD ORPHAN ASYLUM. PHILADELPHIA.

The Corner-Stone of this Institution was laid Oct. 18, 1861, by the Rt. Rev. Bishop A. Potter, and the Rev. Dr. Ducachet. Its munificent endowment was the gift of Widow Eliza Howard Burd, who died April 6, 1860. White female orphan children, from four to eight years of age, of legitimate birth, are to be received within the Institution. Forty-five acres of land have been purchased outside the city limits. The Asylum will consist of a group of detached buildings-cruciform in arrangement, connected by corridors, built of stone in the plain English Gothic style. Within the building will be a beautiful Chapel seating 400 persons. It is a thoroughly Church Institution, and every provision has been made for the temporal and spiritual welfare of the inmates.

CREEDS VERSUS FEELING.

A great hue and cry is made now-a-days, especially among Congregationalists and New School Presbyterians against dead Creeds and musty Platforms. "Right living" and "right feeling," is what these noisy men are so clamorous for; as if there could be either right living or right feeling that is not based on right doctrine, or on Creeds and Platforms. But this infidel onslaught on Creeds is popular with the masses. In the "First Congregational Church," of Cincinnati, Ohio, troubles having been brought before the Civil Court, some very singular testimony was offered, both as to the preaching and the practice, the "living" and "feeling," of the Minister, the Rev. Mr. Conway. A friend of his thus testified: "His opinions expressed in and out of the pulpit were objected to. Understood him to say (this was not in the pulpit,) that he did not believe Christ died on the cross-that it was not a death or means of punishment that usually produced death-that a woman was crucified seventy times in France without thus producing death-and that he did not believe in the resurrection of Christ. His views seemed identical with those of Strauss, the German rationalist,-that Christ was put into the tomb in a swoon, and when the women came there, instead of seeing angels they saw the grave clothes, from which when he awoke he came out, and dressed himself, probably in the gardener's clothes. Witness did not hear the sermon Mr. C. preached on the subject, but these were his recollections of a private conversation. His conduct out of the pulpit was not such as he should like to hold up in all respects as an example to his children." **** "I certainly went there with him, [to the theatre,] and think there was no impropriety; but it was stated Mr. C. went there at improper times and on improper occasions, and my opinion was, that, when public rumor infiicts that stigma on him, he ought to refrain altogether. I have heard from reputable sources that he was there on Saturday nights after the Sabbath had arrived, and attended the performances of Lola Montez, &c., &c."

SUMMARY OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENC ).

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF DURHAM.

The Bishop of Durham died Aug. 9th.-The Honorable and Right Reverend Henry Montague Villiers, D. D., Lord Bishop of Durham, &c., &c., was born in London, on the 4th of January, 1813.

A NEW COLONIAL DIOCESE.

The Archdeaconry of Bahamas is to be formed into a Diocese, and Archdeacon Caulfield is nominated the first Bishop. This appointment will give great satisfaction. Mr. Caulfield has been known for many years as a sound and zealous clergyHe was Rector of Skibbereen, in Ireland, during the period of the fearful famine; and has been Archdeacon of Bahamas since 1857, when he exchanged with the devoted Archdeacon Trew, now Rector of Skibbereen.

JOINT MISSION TO THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

The English Church Missionary Committee, of which the Bishop of Oxford is Chairman, have lately issued a Circular from which we take the following.

"The King and his brother, who have visited Europe, are strongly attached to the Church of England; and the King has himself written to Her Majesty, our Queen, and by his Minister, to the Primate and the Foreign Secretary of State, very earnestly asking sympathy and aid in establishing a Church at Honolulu, the capi

tal of the Islands, in communion with that of Great Britain and America. On behalf of himself, and many of the chiefs, and native population, as well as of about three hundred residents from England, the United States, etc., the King offers such an income as the limited means of the Islands can afford; he also gives a piece of land for the erection of a church, schools, and clergy-house; and will probably appropriate a larger portion of land towards the future support of the Mission."

"The Committee formed to promote this object and co-operate with the King and Queen in their pious design, contemplate sending forth a Missionary Bishop and two clergymen, who will be joined by two or three Episcopal clergymen of the American Church, from which Church the undertaking has met the warmest approval and support. Thus for the first time will these two Churches find an object to advance, in which they can go hand in hand. It will be an additional point of interest in this country to know that the present invitation to our Church is the first ever extended to it by an independent Sovereign to plant itself in his dominions. The Sandwich Islands, though small in themselves, are the resting place of the commerce now finding a path across the ocean between the Old and New Worlds. Their independence is guaranteed by England and France, and the United States; and they form a key to those many and larger groups in the Northern Pacific, on which, it is hoped, the light will be shed which is now about to be carried forth." The Rev. T. N. STALEY is designated as the New Missionary Bishop. His diocese will include eight islands, with a population of 80,000 natives and 4,000 Europeans. There is a weekly steam-packet service which carries the mail between the islands, thus making it unnecessary for him to have a yacht for his Visitations. NOTE.-A large amount of Foreign Intelligence is crowded out.

EDITOR'S AND PROPRIETOR'S NOTICE.

On the 1st of October, and in explanation of the non-appearance of the Review at that date, a Card was issued stating, that until the War is closed, or at least for the present, the Review will be published on every other quarter. The large number of our Subscribers both in the Southern and Border States, who commenced with us on the present Volume, but whom by the interruption of the Mails we cannot now reach; the ruinous rates of exchange with the West, ranging at one time from 25 to 70 per cent. discount on New York; and the great difficulty of making collections every where, seemed to render this temporary change in the issue of the Review advisable. We shall return to our former dates of publication at an early day. We shall do so at once, as soon as it is certain that the War is to be of long continuance.

To those of our subscribers, whose prompt payments enable us thus to continue the work under present difficulties, we tender our grateful acknowledgements. And we most earnestly request such as are still in arrears, to send us their remit tances at the earliest moment practicable. These sums are small in themselves, they can certainly be raised without much inconvenience, and in the aggregate are to us a matter of great importance, and just now of pressing necessity.

The removal of the Review to New York, though apparently at a most inopportune period, promises in the end all that, and more, than we ventured to anticipate; and when the proper time shall come, and the excitement which now engrosses the public mind, and the commercial prostration which cripples or crushes almost every similar interest, shall be over, the Review will be ready to enter upon an enlarged field of usefulness and power. Meanwhile, although some of our proposed plans of improvement are held in reserve, we trust the Review will be found to lose nothing in ability and interest. N. S. RICHARDSON, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

ART. I.-PHILOSOPHIC HISTORY: MILMAN.

The History of Christianity from the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire. By the Rev. H. H. MILMAN, &c.

History of Latin Christianity, including that of the Popes, to the Pontificate of Nicolas V. By HENRY HART MILMAN, D.D., DEAN OF ST. PAUL'S. In eight Volumes. New York: Sheldon & Company. Boston: Gould & Lincoln. MDCCCLX.

IF History is but "philosophy teaching by example," which is now (we believe) its most fashionable definition, it were much to be desired, that some one should inform us what Philosophy is for this teaching by example is an office of great responsibility, and the personage who holds it-metaphorically or otherwise ought to be something more than a mere abstraction, or graceful figure of speech.

What then is Philosophy? The Sage of Athens used to speak of it as a mere philo-sophia: a wooing of a coy creature, that no one had ever succeeded in winning. It was not a fruition, but a longing; not a discovery, but a quest; not a teaching, but a learning. The fond lover of Wisdom might hope
