“The sacraments arc very practical things,” said Bishop Julius, when preaching in the Christchurch Cathedral oil Sunday, night, “but through our folly and misuse of Christ’s gracious acts the sacraments have lost their social meaning. Wo clergy, as well as laitv, have done our best to rid baptism, by pushing it into an obscure corner—we can’t have it interrupt our devotion and tho beauty of our exercise. Tlie Holy Communion lias become a sacrament of division rather than a union. There was a time when only the excommunicated passed themselves out of it, but today only a little handful aro left, and tlie mass of a Christian congregation go from ono year’s end to the other, turning their back on that which is tho very root and heart of our Christian worship.” A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY.
