It is characterized by a spirit of -mildness and conciliation; and, as much of its censure is founded on -erroneous impressions, the consequences would have been but momentary. -But, in the present extraordinary times, there are not wanting those who -would gladly seize upon the occasion, as a favourable one for widening -the differences and perpetuating the antipathies, which unhappily prevail -among Christians, and hence it appears desirable that the public should -be set right with regard to the course now taken by those who are -implicated in the charges. - -The main charges appear to be:— - -I. That the parties in question have acted unkindly and disrespectfully, -so far as they have interfered with the arrangements for the exhibition -in St. Andrew’s Hall. - -II. An assumption, (perfectly groundless,) that the plan of the proposed -society would exclude all children except those of parents belonging to -the Established Church, and - -III. That a society embracing in its direction and operations, all sects -and denominations, would have worked more for the public good than the -one proposed. - -It should be borne in mind, that the exhibition, in St. Andrew’s Hall, -was Mr. Wilderspin’s own speculation. By myself and by some others, it -was however favourably viewed, under an impression that a feeling would -be excited where none had previously existed, and that it might possibly -open the way for an extension of the system. Mr. W. was requested to -meet a few gentlemen, at the Hall in the Market, to explain to them the -nature of his system, and he there again mentioned his intention of -assembling the children for examination in St. Andrew’s Hall. He was -distinctly asked whether the directors or the committee of those schools -had been consulted, and he as plainly replied that there would be no -difficulty on that head. On the subject of the expenses the way was not -so clear,—with his usual liberality he declared that he did not seek -remuneration, but still he thought he ought to be indemnified from -loss—and after some loose discussion it was agreed that those present -should be responsible for any loss. It was finally arranged that free -tickets of admission should be given to the Sunday school and other -teachers. Of these, 300 were distributed to the various DISSENTING -CONGREGATIONS in the city. The public were admitted at sixpence each -person, and the proceeds went to the erection of the gallery, the -purchase of buns for the children, and a gratuity to Mr. Wilderspin; a -small contribution being collected from the _responsibles_ to make up -this sum. - -I think, therefore, that my reverend friend, for so I beg in sincerity to -designate him, must have been misinformed on some points which drew from -him the charge that we had taken unwarrantable liberties either with the -money or the schools of others. - -But another and far more important error is manifest at pages 10 and 19, -where I understand him to mean that it is intended to exclude the -children of all except those of the members of the Established Church. -Now this is an impression so utterly at variance with truth and fact, -that I cannot conceive what part of the proceedings can have been so -distorted, as to admit of such an interpretation. I have seen the -progress of the society in embryo first, last, midst, and throughout all, -without witnessing any symptoms of such a spirit. Should it appear, I am -prepared to contend with it hand to hand—foot to foot, and should it -unhappily prevail, I should feel bound to quit the society, however -painful it might be to part from one in whose work my almost entire -public services and affections are bound up. - -On entering upon the subject of the union of all denominations in this -work of benevolence, it appears to me, that my reverend friend has -suffered the question of what is _practicable_ completely to merge into -that which he considers as most _desirable_. His affections and his -sympathy have been so attractively led by the cases where such an union -has been effected, as has induced him to overlook many whose efficacy is -doubtful, and some, where the effects have rather hindered than promoted -the cause. But while I truly sympathise with him in those views and -feelings which, were it practicable, would suggest such an union, the -cool deliberations of sober judgment are most convincing that the present -state of things here in reference to the feelings of various parties, -presents insuperable barriers, except at the expense of that cause which -it is our object mutually to advance. Now I would fairly meet the -question, - -I. On the ground afforded by experience within our own locality. - -II. On that which is given to us on competent authority from other -places. - -My reverend friend states at page 8, “that hitherto the labourers in the -cause of Infant education in this city have been principally Dissenters, -but it is well known that they have always desired and would have gladly -received a greater number of their brethren in the establishment as -coadjutors.” This is fairly coming to the point. There was no want of -courtesy—no lack of invitations, but there was a something about those to -whom those invitations were given, which kept them back. The few from -among the members of the Establishment who have, as is stated at page 6 -and 7, so cordially and charitably joined in the direction and -management, are perhaps nearly all who could, even by increased exertion, -be drawn into active co-operation with the schools on their present plan; -and had this been tenaciously adhered to, the result of our united -exertions would have added but little to the present means of extending -the cause. The whole amount of experience within our own locality so -powerfully discourages the attempt to coalesce, that I think no one would -be induced to try the experiment, who was well informed as to those facts -which bear upon the question. - -II. Of the experience furnished by distant societies, there doubtless -are some, where the union has been tried to great advantage. My reverend -friend cannot feel more intense satisfaction than I do, in thus -witnessing the joyful and happy state of brethren dwelling together in -unity. If, however, Mr. Wilderspin’s book be competent authority, it is -to be feared that the cases are few. It more resembles a chronicle of -failure than of success—it savours more of antipathies than of harmony, -and leads to discouragement rather than to hope. - -Of the many cases therein mentioned, I will refer to only two, and only -to those because they have been selected by my reverend friend, as among -those where a satisfactory union had been effected. The one is at -Leicester, and is noticed at page 16—the other at Taunton, at page 17. - -The case of Leicester was one, of all others that have occurred or that -can occur, the most painfully illustrative of the difficulty of effecting -an efficient co-operation between parties so uncongenial. Mr. Wilderspin -has given but a partial outline of the case in merely quoting the speech -of Mr. Babington. - -It was my unhappiness to be present at that meeting. The place itself -called up sacred recollections of days gone by. It was there where -Robinson the Episcopalian and Hall the Nonconformist had been wont to -meet with kindred affection, and to unite their powerful energies in -advocating the cause of religion and benevolence as occasion might offer. -It was on this spot, sacred to Christian union and charity, where the -sweet yet brilliant eloquence of Hall had afterwards burst forth into -that memorable strain of eulogy on the character of his deceased -Christian brother—that now the Christian might have wept tears of blood, -on seeing the biographer of Robinson bearing the rude personal taunts of -Hall’s talented, misguided successor, followed by another speaker, -equally talented, whose coarse expressions and personalities were utterly -at variance with his Christian profession, and backed by the yells and -hootings of men of every creed, and men of no creed at all. The -individual on whom all this was lavished was, by birth and education, a -gentleman—by profession and practice an active, pious, indefatigable, -minister,—the brother of Baron Vaughan, and whose only offence was, that -he had stated his opinions (erroneous as I conceive) in language -temperate and respectful. The weak and feeble results of this meeting is -told in the words of Mr. Wilderspin, who says at page 95, that “there are -now three schools, but, as they are managed by women, though they do -great good, the full amount of advantage is not secured.” The impression -upon my own mind is that it is all but a failure. - -Nor is the quotation of the Taunton case more happy—Mr. Wilderspin’s -account of this at page 118, exhibits clearly another instance of the -difficulty of such an union, and that the altercation terminated in the -establishment of two schools—one by each party. - -That there are cases of happy and beneficial union I admit, and I rejoice -in the fact that there are such; but that the majority of cases in large -towns are so I do greatly fear and doubt. My reverend friend quotes the -authority of Mr. Wilderspin, at page 18, in a manner which requires -qualifying. He says, “These quotations abundantly prove that the -originator of Infant schools, who has visited many of the towns in the -three kingdoms, and who is, perhaps, better qualified than any other -person to form an opinion as to the best mode of conducting them, is -decidedly opposed to the exclusive system advertised for Norwich.” - -Now I do humbly submit to the candid reader of Mr. Wilderspin’s book, -that the cases he there notices, various as they are in character, do not -lead to this conclusion. There may be cases, and I hope there are many, -where “the union of Churchmen and Dissenters is delightful;” but that -there are others, which do but too plainly tell the sad tale of the -results of conflicting elements, cannot be denied. Much stress has been -laid throughout on the value of the testimony of Mr. Wilderspin, and some -of his statements have been so interpreted, as to bear strongly in favour -of the union, when, as I have clearly shewn, they have a directly -contrary tendency. His book bears evidence that his object is to promote -infant instruction without any distinction of the party who patronises -it. He is the willing agent of the Episcopalian or the Nonconformist; -and, however he may rejoice when the state of feeling will admit of an -union of all parties in one common bond of Christian love, he is too keen -an observer of the workings of human prejudices, not to see that there -are circumstances which would, in many cases, render an union an occasion -rather for widening than diminishing the existing chasm. - -In conclusion, I cannot help again recurring to a mistake into which my -reverend friend has fallen, and which is throughout implied—in regard to -the exclusion of the children of dissent. He may rest assured that -nothing is decided with respect to the discipline of the schools, which -can possibly be held to be an impediment with any conscientious -Dissenter, who desires to place his child there:—no impeding tests or -testimonials on entering the school,—no offensive rituals when there. -’Tis one of misfortune’s worst mishaps to have a bad name, and the -Churchman is often slandered unwittingly. In the present case we claim -our constitutional privilege of being heard before condemnation; and, -while we expect not the approbation of the ultra, either within or -without the pale of the Establishment, we do expect to meet the cordial -sympathy of the good, the benevolent, the pious members of every -denomination. A word or two on the subject of my reverend friend’s -closing paragraph. Only let whatever is done, be done in the spirit of -love and of duty: unhappily the field is wide enough, and too wide for us -both. Let each, caring only for the public good, plant his school, not -to annoy his associate in the benevolent work, but to select the most -destitute district for its operation. To such a school there are, I have -no doubt, Churchmen who will be happy to contribute, if conducted on -sound principles; and I take my leave of my reverend friend’s letter in -the spirit which animated the patriarch of old, when he says, “LET THERE -BE NO STRIFE I PRAY THEE BETWEEN ME AND THEE, FOR WE ARE BRETHREN; IS NOT -THE WHOLE LAND BEFORE THEE? SEPARATE THYSELF I PRAY THEE FROM ME. IF -THOU WILT TAKE THE LEFT HAND, THEN I WILL GO TO THE RIGHT, OR IF THOU -DEPART TO THE RIGHT HAND, THEN I WILL GO TO THE LEFT.” - -_Norwich_, _April_ 7_th_, 1836. - - * * * * * - - Norwich: - PRINTED BY JOSIAH FLETCHER. - - - - -***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE MEMBERS OF THE ESTABLISHED -CHURCH VINDICATED*** - - -******* This file should be named 63330-0.txt or 63330-0.zip ******* - - -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: -http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/6/3/3/3/63330 - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

It is characterized by a spirit of mildness -and conciliation; and, as much of its censure is founded on -erroneous impressions, the consequences would have been but -momentary. But, in the present extraordinary times, there -are not wanting those who would gladly seize upon the occasion, -as a favourable one for widening the differences and perpetuating -the antipathies, which unhappily prevail among Christians, and -hence it appears desirable that the public should be set right -with regard to the course now taken by those who are implicated -in the charges.</p> -<p>The main charges appear to be:—</p> -<p>I. That the parties in question have acted unkindly and -disrespectfully, so far as they have interfered with the -arrangements for the exhibition in St. Andrew’s Hall.</p> -<p><a name="page4"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 4</span>II. -An assumption, (perfectly groundless,) that the plan of the -proposed society would exclude all children except those of -parents belonging to the Established Church, and</p> -<p>III. That a society embracing in its direction and -operations, all sects and denominations, would have worked more -for the public good than the one proposed.</p> -<p>It should be borne in mind, that the exhibition, in St. -Andrew’s Hall, was Mr. Wilderspin’s own -speculation. By myself and by some others, it was however -favourably viewed, under an impression that a feeling would be -excited where none had previously existed, and that it might -possibly open the way for an extension of the system. Mr. -W. was requested to meet a few gentlemen, at the Hall in the -Market, to explain to them the nature of his system, and he there -again mentioned his intention of assembling the children for -examination in St. Andrew’s Hall. He was distinctly -asked whether the directors or the committee of those schools had -been consulted, and he as plainly replied that there would be no -difficulty on that head. On the subject of the expenses the -way was not so clear,—with his usual liberality he declared -that he did not seek remuneration, but still he thought he ought -to be indemnified from loss—and after some loose discussion -it was agreed that those present should be responsible for any -loss. It was finally arranged that free tickets of -admission should be given to the Sunday school <a -name="page5"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 5</span>and other -teachers. Of these, 300 were distributed to the various -<span class="smcap">Dissenting Congregations</span> in the -city. The public were admitted at sixpence each person, and -the proceeds went to the erection of the gallery, the purchase of -buns for the children, and a gratuity to Mr. Wilderspin; a small -contribution being collected from the <i>responsibles</i> to make -up this sum.</p> -<p>I think, therefore, that my reverend friend, for so I beg in -sincerity to designate him, must have been misinformed on some -points which drew from him the charge that we had taken -unwarrantable liberties either with the money or the schools of -others.</p> -<p>But another and far more important error is manifest at pages -10 and 19, where I understand him to mean that it is intended to -exclude the children of all except those of the members of the -Established Church. Now this is an impression so utterly at -variance with truth and fact, that I cannot conceive what part of -the proceedings can have been so distorted, as to admit of such -an interpretation. I have seen the progress of the society -in embryo first, last, midst, and throughout all, without -witnessing any symptoms of such a spirit. Should it appear, -I am prepared to contend with it hand to hand—foot to foot, -and should it unhappily prevail, I should feel bound to quit the -society, however painful it might be to part from one in whose -work my almost entire public services and affections are bound -up.</p> -<p>On entering upon the subject of the union of all denominations -in this work of benevolence, it appears <a name="page6"></a><span -class="pagenum">p. 6</span>to me, that my reverend friend has -suffered the question of what is <i>practicable</i> completely to -merge into that which he considers as most -<i>desirable</i>. His affections and his sympathy have been -so attractively led by the cases where such an union has been -effected, as has induced him to overlook many whose efficacy is -doubtful, and some, where the effects have rather hindered than -promoted the cause. But while I truly sympathise with him -in those views and feelings which, were it practicable, would -suggest such an union, the cool deliberations of sober judgment -are most convincing that the present state of things here in -reference to the feelings of various parties, presents -insuperable barriers, except at the expense of that cause which -it is our object mutually to advance. Now I would fairly -meet the question,</p> -<p>I. On the ground afforded by experience within our own -locality.</p> -<p>II. On that which is given to us on competent authority -from other places.</p> -<p>My reverend friend states at page 8, “that hitherto the -labourers in the cause of Infant education in this city have been -principally Dissenters, but it is well known that they have -always desired and would have gladly received a greater number of -their brethren in the establishment as coadjutors.” -This is fairly coming to the point. There was no want of -courtesy—no lack of invitations, but there was a something -about those to whom those invitations were given, which kept them -back. The few from among the members <a -name="page7"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 7</span>of the -Establishment who have, as is stated at page 6 and 7, so -cordially and charitably joined in the direction and management, -are perhaps nearly all who could, even by increased exertion, be -drawn into active co-operation with the schools on their present -plan; and had this been tenaciously adhered to, the result of our -united exertions would have added but little to the present means -of extending the cause. The whole amount of experience -within our own locality so powerfully discourages the attempt to -coalesce, that I think no one would be induced to try the -experiment, who was well informed as to those facts which bear -upon the question.</p> -<p>II. Of the experience furnished by distant societies, -there doubtless are some, where the union has been tried to great -advantage. My reverend friend cannot feel more intense -satisfaction than I do, in thus witnessing the joyful and happy -state of brethren dwelling together in unity. If, however, -Mr. Wilderspin’s book be competent authority, it is to be -feared that the cases are few. It more resembles a -chronicle of failure than of success—it savours more of -antipathies than of harmony, and leads to discouragement rather -than to hope.</p> -<p>Of the many cases therein mentioned, I will refer to only two, -and only to those because they have been selected by my reverend -friend, as among those where a satisfactory union had been -effected. The one is at Leicester, and is noticed at page -16—the other at Taunton, at page 17.</p> -<p><a name="page8"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 8</span>The case -of Leicester was one, of all others that have occurred or that -can occur, the most painfully illustrative of the difficulty of -effecting an efficient co-operation between parties so -uncongenial. Mr. Wilderspin has given but a partial outline -of the case in merely quoting the speech of Mr. Babington.</p> -<p>It was my unhappiness to be present at that meeting. The -place itself called up sacred recollections of days gone -by. It was there where Robinson the Episcopalian and Hall -the Nonconformist had been wont to meet with kindred affection, -and to unite their powerful energies in advocating the cause of -religion and benevolence as occasion might offer. It was on -this spot, sacred to Christian union and charity, where the sweet -yet brilliant eloquence of Hall had afterwards burst forth into -that memorable strain of eulogy on the character of his deceased -Christian brother—that now the Christian might have wept -tears of blood, on seeing the biographer of Robinson bearing the -rude personal taunts of Hall’s talented, misguided -successor, followed by another speaker, equally talented, whose -coarse expressions and personalities were utterly at variance -with his Christian profession, and backed by the yells and -hootings of men of every creed, and men of no creed at all. -The individual on whom all this was lavished was, by birth and -education, a gentleman—by profession and practice an -active, pious, indefatigable, minister,—the brother of -Baron Vaughan, and whose only offence was, that he had stated his -opinions (erroneous as I <a name="page9"></a><span -class="pagenum">p. 9</span>conceive) in language temperate and -respectful. The weak and feeble results of this meeting is -told in the words of Mr. Wilderspin, who says at page 95, that -“there are now three schools, but, as they are managed by -women, though they do great good, the full amount of advantage is -not secured.” The impression upon my own mind is that -it is all but a failure.</p> -<p>Nor is the quotation of the Taunton case more happy—Mr. -Wilderspin’s account of this at page 118, exhibits clearly -another instance of the difficulty of such an union, and that the -altercation terminated in the establishment of two -schools—one by each party.</p> -<p>That there are cases of happy and beneficial union I admit, -and I rejoice in the fact that there are such; but that the -majority of cases in large towns are so I do greatly fear and -doubt. My reverend friend quotes the authority of Mr. -Wilderspin, at page 18, in a manner which requires -qualifying. He says, “These quotations abundantly -prove that the originator of Infant schools, who has visited many -of the towns in the three kingdoms, and who is, perhaps, better -qualified than any other person to form an opinion as to the best -mode of conducting them, is decidedly opposed to the exclusive -system advertised for Norwich.”</p> -<p>Now I do humbly submit to the candid reader of Mr. -Wilderspin’s book, that the cases he there notices, various -as they are in character, do not lead to this conclusion. -There may be cases, and I hope there are <a -name="page10"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 10</span>many, where -“the union of Churchmen and Dissenters is -delightful;” but that there are others, which do but too -plainly tell the sad tale of the results of conflicting elements, -cannot be denied. Much stress has been laid throughout on -the value of the testimony of Mr. Wilderspin, and some of his -statements have been so interpreted, as to bear strongly in -favour of the union, when, as I have clearly shewn, they have a -directly contrary tendency. His book bears evidence that -his object is to promote infant instruction without any -distinction of the party who patronises it. He is the -willing agent of the Episcopalian or the Nonconformist; and, -however he may rejoice when the state of feeling will admit of an -union of all parties in one common bond of Christian love, he is -too keen an observer of the workings of human prejudices, not to -see that there are circumstances which would, in many cases, -render an union an occasion rather for widening than diminishing -the existing chasm.</p> -<p>In conclusion, I cannot help again recurring to a mistake into -which my reverend friend has fallen, and which is throughout -implied—in regard to the exclusion of the children of -dissent. He may rest assured that nothing is decided with -respect to the discipline of the schools, which can possibly be -held to be an impediment with any conscientious Dissenter, who -desires to place his child there:—no impeding tests or -testimonials on entering the school,—no offensive rituals -when there. ’Tis one of misfortune’s worst -mishaps to have a bad name, and the Churchman <a -name="page11"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 11</span>is often -slandered unwittingly. In the present case we claim our -constitutional privilege of being heard before condemnation; and, -while we expect not the approbation of the ultra, either within -or without the pale of the Establishment, we do expect to meet -the cordial sympathy of the good, the benevolent, the pious -members of every denomination. A word or two on the subject -of my reverend friend’s closing paragraph. Only let -whatever is done, be done in the spirit of love and of duty: -unhappily the field is wide enough, and too wide for us -both. Let each, caring only for the public good, plant his -school, not to annoy his associate in the benevolent work, but to -select the most destitute district for its operation. To -such a school there are, I have no doubt, Churchmen who will be -happy to contribute, if conducted on sound principles; and I take -my leave of my reverend friend’s letter in the spirit which -animated the patriarch of old, when he says, “<span -class="smcap">Let there be no strife I pray thee between me and -thee</span>, <span class="smcap">for we are brethren</span>; -<span class="smcap">is not the whole land before -thee</span>? <span class="smcap">Separate thyself I pray -thee from me</span>. <span class="smcap">If thou wilt take -the left hand</span>, <span class="smcap">then I will go to the -right</span>, <span class="smcap">or if thou depart to the right -hand</span>, <span class="smcap">then I will go to the -left</span>.”</p> -<p><i>Norwich</i>, <i>April</i> 7<i>th</i>, 1836.</p> - -<div class="gapspace"> </div> -<p style="text-align: center"><a name="page12"></a><span -class="pagenum">p. 12</span><span -class="GutSmall">Norwich:</span><br /> -<span class="GutSmall">PRINTED BY JOSIAH FLETCHER.</span></p> -<pre> - - - - -***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE MEMBERS OF THE ESTABLISHED -CHURCH VINDICATED*** - - -***** This file should be named 63330-h.htm or 63330-h.zip****** - - -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: -http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/6/3/3/3/63330 - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
