(Concluded from p. 143.) The first number of The Church Times made reference to the consecration of St. Alban's, Holborn, a church destined to become prominent in the new movement, the adherents of which were in 1866 to be given the name of Ritualists, from their desire to make the services of the Church more directly expressive of doctrine. This movement took such rapid hold that on the last day of 1864 nine columns of the paper were filled with descriptions of Christmas services and decorations." On the 19th of August, 1867, the first Report of the Royal Commission on Ritual was signed, censuring innovations ; on the 19th of November a large meeting of Ritualists was held at St. James's Hall, claiming liberty ; and on the 28th of March, 1868, the case of Martin v. Mackonochie was decided after fourteen days' trial. The verdict was against Mackonochie, the use of incense, mixing water with the wine, and the elevation of the elements in the Sacrament being forbidden. Appeal was made to the Privy Council, but on the 23rd of December the verdict was confirmed. The Church Times on the first day of the New Year accepted the decision of the Judicial Committee as having at least a temporary effect on the practice of the Church:— " We have lost for a time, and a time only, the Lights. We shall get them back by and by, as no decision of the Privy Council is final or irrevocable. Meanwhile, does the loss do us any material harm ? None, for no doctrinal issue has been raised. The Lights have no direct bearing on the doctrine of the Heal Presence, for the symbolism ascribed to them in the Injunctions, as well as that other view in the ' Pupilla Oculi,' have nothing to do with Eucharistic dogmas, as the dullest can discover from their use at Vespers." On September 22nd, 1882, The Church Times announced the death of Pusey, and recorded a pleasing incident: Archbishop Tait, who had long been seriously ill, had the previous week sent from his sick chamber a telegram to Oxford, saying " that his Grace was thinking much of Dr. Pusey, and would like to be informed of his condition. He also sent Dr. Pusey his brotherly sym- pathy." On the 8th of December, 1882, The Church Times, in announcing the death of Arch- bishop Tait, stated that he had left " a legacy of peace " by an arrangement with the Bishop of London by which Mackonochie, instead of being deprived, was allowed to exchange benefices with Mr. Suckling of St. Peter's, London Docks. " This sudden transformation scene is the work of the late Primate and of the Bishop of London, and the St. Alban's lawsuit is as dead and buried as the Heptarchy." In one of the articles in this Jubilee number are two extracts from letters of Francis Paget, Bishop of Oxford, taken from the Life of him recently published. The first was written, while he was a boy at Shrewsbury School in 1868, to a friend :— " As you speak disparagingly of The Church Times I send you, for your private edification and reading, an article therefrom. I think if you read it calmly you '11 agree with mc that nothing could be less bigoted, uncharitable, or unwise." In another letter of the same year, his biographer tells us, he drew up an amusing chart of the thermometer of his opinions :— " Below zero are Calvin, Macaulay, Spurgeon, Colenso, Stanley, the publishers of The Rock and The Record, and ' the aggrieved parishioner ' who
