 Mv I.(«l) :— 
 
 I.— With profound regret I am rompclled to address your Lord- 
 ship conecrning a matter of grave iniporl to the Church in Canada. 
 
 2. — By a letter addressed to me on the 20th day of November 
 i.S86^ by the Lord Hishop of Nova Scotia, I am made a party to the 
 truth or falsehood of injurious charges preferred and' disgraceful in- 
 nuendoes conveyed by the Lord IJisihop of Nova Scotia against or 
 concerning a Clerk in Holy Orders of the Church of Kngland in Ca- 
 nada. By tlve same letter I am also made a party to the injustice 
 and grievance of the illegal sentence imposed on the said Clerk by 
 the said Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia for the same alleged or impu- 
 ted ofTenccs. 
 
 3.— I know that the said ^ntenca -is illegal and has been^ im- 
 jiosed contrary to the Canons dHB^'Church in the Diocese of Nova 
 Scotia ; alHo, that certain of the! Charges and innuendoes on which 
 that sentence is based are groundless, and I believe that the scandal 
 to which they are alleged to relate is largely the consequence of the 
 culpable dealings and illegal actions of the Lord Bishop of Nova 
 Scotia and of oithers, for whose actions in the matter the said Lord 
 Bishop of Nova Scotia is also responsible, r^ officio and otherwise. 
 
 4.— ^The published letter bearing date Nov. 26th, 1886, address- 
 ed by the to the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia, 
 i-.oupled with the correspondence and documents herewith submitted, 
 show, I subnrit with respect, that I have exhausted all reasonable ef- 
 forts which the occasion called for, to secure those recognitions of 
 the Canons, the law and right principle, coupled with justice, which 
 are the safeguards of every Christian, and particularly of every mem*^ 
 ber of the Church of England, and that I have failed in these proper 
 efforts. Therefore it remains for me to address your Lordship in 
 your official capacity as Metropolitan on the matter, as prescribed 
 in Canon IV. of the Canons of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada, 
 and particularly in the sections relating to "Action on Rumors."

 (llcrk in Holy (Vd-rsi aflfcctcd by the charge* and imuicndocs pre 
 fcrrcd Ip me, a layman, by the Lord Hinhopof Nova.Scotio, and the 
 ncntcnce similarly tommunimtcd to mc a» imposci^^ by the l.or<l 
 Hishop of Novu Scotia, may intlucnce through kindly feeling the said 
 Clerk from voluntarily taking action in this matter, further than ap 
 pearing, when called, as witness to the truth or falsencHS of the 
 charges and innuendoes made to mc, and the justicfe or mjUHtice of 
 the sentence imposed by the Lord Hishop of Nova Scotia fo.- the al 
 Icgcd ofTencos, and the legality or illegahty of the nets of live said 
 Lord Bishop, and the scandal and injury to the Church occasioned 
 by the acts of the said Ixird Hishop of Nova Scotia ; wherefore ilil)C' 
 comes the more incumbent on me, a layman, not affected by the "Oath 
 of Canonical Obedience," and a member of the Synod whose Canons 
 are violated, to accept the succour proffered by Canon IV. of the Prp- 
 vincial Canons of the Kcclesiastical Province of Canada.

 "* 6.— Hy virtue of section IV. of Canon iC of the Provincial 
 Canons, I charge the Right iJeverend Ilibbert IJinney, D. D., Lord 
 liishop of Nova Scotia, — 1 
 
 F//W.-^-Wiih wilful violation of ihii-Canons of his Synod, espe- 
 cially Canon I., on or about the isihand i6tl> days of Noveml>cr ^

 Such violation being more particularly set forth and displayed in the 
 letter of the said Lord IJishop of Nova Scotia addressed to me on the 
 20th day of November 1886, a copy of which letter is heretoappend- 
 ed, (page 55), also in the letter addressed by the said Lord Bishop 
 of Nova Scotia to the Reverend Kenneth Cameron Hind,|JI. A.,

 ,%r,nui.— l charge the Lord llishop of Nova Scotia with acting 
 judicially ultra rirvn and nlfm lintum in the matter of the Kcv - 
 erend Kenneth Cameron Hind, and in thUH acting to have hidden hiH 
 (,wn culpable complicity, or tlie complicity of others for whom he was 
 und i!. rcHponsiblc, in the matter concerning which he has illegally 
 and in violation of the Canon of his Diocese adjudicated. 
 
 77. m/.— With needlessly, unjustly and cruelly exaggerating 
 charges and conveying unwarrantable innivcndocn in writing and 
 otherwise concerning the Reverend Kenneth Cameron Hind, M. A., 
 as displayed in the aforesaid letter addressed to me by H»e Right 
 Reverend the Lord Hishop of Nova Scotia, and in other letters, and 
 thereon founding as stated, the illegal and unjust ecclesiastical sen- 
 tence before' referred to.

 illegal and unjust ecclesiasli<;al sentence im|>oscdby ibc Lord Hishop 
 of Nova Scotia as slated ; anid to distribute on or about the i-.sthday

 upon the statements and opinions of the wife of the said Lord Bishop 
 of Nova Scfltia, such wife being in alleged ecclesiastical Association 
 witlv««1ie System of the Ilishop's Chapel in Halifax, notwithstanding 
 denial by the Clerk in Holy Orders affected by the statements so made 
 and cited and judicially used by 4he Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia, 
 and without any proof of the truth of such statements made by the 
 said wife and cited and used by the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia - 
 against the said Clerk in Holy Orderii. 
 
 Hn-eiith.—l charge the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia \yith employ- 
 ing, as a Ruler in the Church, outrageous language in judicially set- 
 ting forth alleged offences or. short-comings, and in tiCi\v\%uHrav'mx 
 judioially in relation to the said alleged offences or shortcomings, to 
 the great injury of parties affected by such outrageous language and 
 judicial action, and to the scandal and reproach of the Church, of 
 which the said Lord Bishop is, by virtue of his office, a Ruler, Pro- 
 tector and Minister^ 
 
 |.~I respectfully submit that these unjust anduntrue state- 
 ments and inftuendoes of women as set forth in the documents here- 
 tofore specified and herewith submitted, necessarily involve such de- 
 fensive measures as the wide-spread publication of counteracting 
 refutation, otherwise neither the clergy or laymen will at anytime be 
 safe from liability to the attacks of women, who may be ecclesiasti- 
 -cally connected with any Church or "Cliaipel System, and enjoy the 
 encouragement and protection of Episcopal authority and approval . 
 in the perpetration of such acts. 
 
 8. — I do further respectfully declare that ".if the wilful vio-! 
 lation of the Constitution or Candns of his Diocese by the Lord 
 Bishop of Nova Scotia be permitted, or sustained by inaction, and 
 the same violation be allowed to injure a clerk in Holy Orders and to 
 harass laymen^ or if the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia be permitted to 
 employ outrageous language judicially, and to did ultra vires in con- 
 formity or agreement with the satiie outrageous language, of his own. 
 mere motion, or if the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia be permitted to 
 'use the agency of women in alleged ecclesiastical association with 
 his Lordship's Chapel System after the manner set forth in the cor- 
 respondence hereto attached, it is my conviction that the Church in 
 NovaScotia will receive 'lasting m jury, and great damage will be

 done to the cause of Religion in this portion of the Kcclesiasticul 
 Province of Canadd, and most grievous dissensions and Kcandal , 
 and .reproach will arise therefrom. ' 
 
 9. — Further I am convinced that the manifi;st disregard the Lord 
 llishop of Nova Scotia exhibits towards "Charges, Reports and Ru- 
 mors" is a menace to the Church in Nova Scotia, and to individuals, 
 and can only be successfully met by wide-spread publicity of his ille- 
 gal and unchristian acts, coupled with a^ij^al for that succour which 
 the Church in Canada provides througinTier Canons for the injured 
 and the oppressed. ' ^ 
 
 1 0.— Therefore, I do now most respectfiHly and humbly pray your 
 
 ' Lordship to take such steps in this matter as are provided in Canon 
 IV of the Canons of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada, or other- 
 wise, and this notwithstanding technical imperfections in this letter 
 of Charges, or the refusal or failure on the part of the Lord P>ishop 
 of Nova Scotia to notice "charges, reports and rumors." ** 
 
 And r further cxay^ permission, to amend matters of form, or to ' 
 formulate the several charges herein made, in such a manner as to 
 
 , conform to any i)rescribed "Code" or to any "Rules of Procedure" 
 your Lordship may be pleased to direct. V; . 
 
 Lhave the honour to be, // 
 
 Your Lordship's obedient servant,

 MR. HIND TO THE LOUD BISHOP OF N<^VA SCOTIA. 
 
 My Lord,—! beg to acknowledge your Loidship's favour of tlie 
 
 ^^^* AiroTnie to state that you are under serious misapprehensions re- 
 specting my letter of the 26th Jan. It is quite a mistake to suppose 
 that my enquiries concerned the case of the Kev. K. C Hind pe.se: 
 indeed they had special reference, as state*!, to irreconcilable diUer- 
 Inces between the representations of that Case your Lordship addres.. 
 ed to me in a voluminous communication, and Uie representations ot 
 the same thing printed andl)ublished by your wile, as President oi thr 
 
 ^' f\^ur lordship can not {ivil to see that when you, as Bishop of th.- 
 Dioceae, protter me a statement in writing of vital imporUnce to th. 
 life interests of my son, concerning a matter in which you are Fina- 
 iily concerned, and your wife as President ot the G P. S^ publisher 
 statements relating to the same thing which are dia.netrically opposed 
 to what you, her husband, advance, it is proper that I should inquu*^ 
 into the reason of the difference. ^ „„iv mv 
 
 - But as you refuse to discuss the matter, it becomes not only mj 
 light but ray positive duty to examine into the alia ir, and present my 
 
 '*^°''^^rwiU now briefly state one of the reasons which induced nie to 
 prefer my inquiry of the 26th Jan; -.

 On the 2(Hh Nov. you asked me in wiitilij,' to liud out wluthcr 
 mv sou had any document fiou. yo.i to hIiow that he was ever "|;"'':*l 
 in sole cliar-e of the Chapel." On the m\i Nov. you stated al-^o in • 
 writing its follows :— "^ ^ 
 
 "As the Friendly Society is pait of tiik svstkm of mv (-iiapi-.i,, 
 your son, so long as he ^^^as my assistant there, eould not evade his re- 
 HrK)uail)ility in cgnncctioii with it." i i i ,i ' 
 
 I have to say that in order to answer your .|UtHtion, I iwked the 
 liov K C Hind.before he left for Newport, to leave his pai.ers witli 
 n.o so that I might run throuuh them and en.h-.avour^ to discover ttie 
 'document respecting which your Loidship made in.iuiry /rojn me. 
 
 The result of this search was so surprising that I waaper-loice le.i 
 to examine into the natur6 of your 'Chapel System," to %hich you re- 
 ferred in your communication of the.3()thNov. Ihave rcccnth- re-, 
 turned from Halifax after having sulHciently prosecuted my UKiuine.s 
 into that and other matter.s. > 
 
 Tlicse are culminating in developments ot. so unlocked tor an«i 
 alarming a character that I ain compelled to notice them, and toanswi-r 
 certain allegations in your letter to me of the 20th Nov. \ our I.ord- 
 
 ■ shin will remember that I publicly described that letter ';as exceeding- 
 ly libellous and misleading." I regret to find thatit merits a iafwoisv 
 
 , descriptive title. This I will now proceed to show. 
 
 Further, I beg to call your attention to the patent fact that niy let- 
 ter of the 26th ,J an. quoted the Hesioxation of the Uev. K. C. Hnid, 
 a» distinguished from '«/?moya/" alleged by your- wife. L notice that 
 
 . your Lordship now employs this term "Kemoval," notwithstanding an- 
 tecedent correspondence proving accepted Kesignation Is this just, 
 my Lord. It forces me to reproduce correspondence I should not otner- 
 wise have ventured to touch or allude to. The unchristian innuendo 
 it conveys, coming from a Hii^hop, Is a reproach which must be satis- 
 fied By the use of this wotd in your note you open a new sul)|ect, 
 
 ■^concerning which recent revelations have been made to me of the gra- 
 
 Thy°re8ignation oughl to bj on. your Chapel Kecord;^, but I am in- 
 formed this is not the case, and in place thereof, there is subjtitiitc.l < 
 a resolution framed in accordance, witb your Lordships verbal state- 
 ments in the absence of the Chaplain. - . . , \ ., . . \, 
 : Let me once again assert, and I hope for the last time, t4iat the 
 Kev. K. C, Hiiid has nothing to do with my communications to your 
 Iu)id«hip. He is busily engaged iii his parish work. He holds ven 
 proper views of the lelaUon between a clergyman and his^ J.isliop. 
 
 ■ These views lead him and will continue to lead him I apprehend, to 
 shelter his Bishop at the. sacritieeof himself, provided that sacrihce 
 xloes not go too fiir. But I am a laymati. / . ^. ,: 
 
 • There is not the slightest necessity for his writing to your Lora- 
 slilp. He has done that repeatedly already, but you have not answer-

 nection with this affair arose out of a very vohinunouH an.J most lil«Uou8lettti 
 written to me by the lonl bishop on the 20th Novein»)cr, without any prov.j-

 You go on to Bay :— 
 
 "I ahall wish you to liv« as noar to th« Chapol a« may ho practic- 
 able anil to work through all tho District to the w«hI of liohio St., to 
 the N. W. Arm. Tho groat defect haa boon tho lack of postoral visit-

 He was admitted to Priest's order* shortly after he came of canon-

 Mhip's prolonged abstmce in England, or during your confirmation tours, 
 or your visits to tho United States, or your various visitorial iluties in 
 ftince Edward Island, Ac , &c., &c., up to the date of bin resignation. 
 May I not respectfully ask whether there is anything on record in 
 ib^ minutes of your Chapol committee in 1884, to show what arrange- 
 ments were made -with the clergyman placed iiyrhorgo of your Chapol! 
 So surpriHing aro the accounts I have rec^ved during my recent 
 visits to Halifax respecting the cot^8titution of your "Chapol SyHtom," 
 and the proceedings of your Chapel committee, that I must reserve for 
 the future fuirnotiee of this matterj - ^ , 
 
 *" MRS. BINNEY'S RELATION TO YOUR LORDSHIPS 
 
 CHAPEL SYSTEM. /' 
 
 In inseparable but somewhat occult association with this subject, 
 I observe a further remarkable paragraph in your Lordship's letter to 
 me of the 20th November. / _^. 
 
 . One of your complaints is as follows :— 
 
 "During my absence he (the Chaplain) haa {klways been directed 
 
 to go to my house every Friday morning to see whether there was any 
 
 communication from me through my wife. This he h^ refused to do 
 
 * during my late absence. He complains in the above letter of the many

 The President of the G.F. S. aays,— "The second girl was raar-*^,

 This secret marriage was accidentally discovered two- months after it 
 took place ; and th^n Mr. Hind excused himself and said that the girl

 had married a very nice young man, but no i*ord about a far worse 
 secret, which he was hiding, and apparently did not intend to divulge." 
 
 But Mrs. Binney omits to say that the marriage was duly regis- 
 tered in the CKapel Register ; also, that upon inquiry from your Lord- 
 ihip when the alleged discovery of the marriage took place, the Chap- 
 lain, in the most delicate manner, did hint to you that there was a rea- 
 son for the sudden and Becret marriage. It is reasonable to suppose 
 that you communicated this information to your wife, the President of 
 the G.F. S. 
 
 The President of the G. F. S. continues her narrative in the fol- 
 lowing words : — "I had gri interview with our member, and told her 
 how foolish and wrong she had been to allow any thing underhand in 
 the matter — that she was bound to have sent in first her Guide-book, 
 Ani^ that such secrecies were injurious to the Society and her compa- 
 nions. She replied in an injured tone that being married quietly 
 could not injure the Society, but I had no suspicion of the real state 
 of the ease, never supposing that the Chaplain could lend himself to 
 any such deception." " ' » 
 
 Allow me now to draw your Lordship's attention to dates, and 
 then permit me to ask two or three questions, which the character of the 
 imputations and the sentence you imposed certainly allow. 
 
 The dates are these. ■ ~ 
 
 The girl was married April 26th, 1886. Your. Lordship apked tlie 
 Chaplain concerning the marriage, and if there was any reason for ity(l) 
 about two months after April 26th, or about June 26th. 
 
 The President of the G. F. S., your wife, states in her published 
 letter that she saw the girl on the matter about this time, (2 moiiths 
 after matriage) and conversed with her touching the sin of her secret 
 marriage, &c., &c. . 
 
 ( 1 ) This matter id more fully set forth in my published letter to your tiord • 
 ship, dated Nov. 26th, 1886, as follows :— ' 
 
 Now, these are the facts of the case on which these women record thdr 
 approval of your action before it is taken :— 
 
 One evening in April last J— D^ ;, dgen 21, asked the Rev. Kenneth 
 
 Cameron Hind, M. A., Chiaplain of your Lordship's private Chapel, to marry 
 him to E-- — r- lr~ — ', aged jlo. E— - L-^ — is the daughter of your ^ben. ten- 
 ant in the Girls' Friendly Society's House. J- D preferred his request 
 
 with tears in his eyes, saying that the marriage was necessary. The mother^ 
 voUf tenailt, urgently pleaded with the Rev. gentleman that he wouhl not tell, 
 the Bishop, fearing that your justice Wbuld not be tempered with mercy. The 
 'Rev. gentleman did marry them on the 26th April, being Easter Monday. The 
 marriage was duly recorded. 
 
 After the marriage the man went to seek for work, the wife to her mother's 
 rooms she rented from you, she had no other home. 
 
 Some weeks subsequently, when the Rev. gentleman went as usual to your 
 house, among other things, you said to him — "By the way, I hear E- — ^ L — — 
 1 is married— was there any reason for the marriage?" The simple and expres- 
 sive answer giveii was this, >'He askied me to marry them." At a subsequent 
 peripd you ej^unined, the/marriage Register, and the matter dropped.

 On the 18th July, or about three weeks after this recorded inter- 
 view, the child was born, according to your Lordship's letter to me. , 
 
 Now, is it probable that one married woman having grown up 
 children, can remonstrate with another young married woman under 
 her charge, scajcerfhree months wedded, and only three weeks before 
 her child irborn, concerning the sin of a secret marriage, &c., without 
 observing the figure of the ainner ? 
 
 Is it reasonable to suppose that the Lady President did not ask 
 the girl w?iij she was married secretly ? Or did the figure of the girl 
 preclude the necessity for such a question 1 
 
 Your Lordship put the question to the Chaplain and he hinted in 
 a very delicate way that there was a reason for a speedy marriage. 
 
 Mrsi Binney would probably be as curious as your Lordship, hav- 
 ing the "sinner" before her eyes, and being responsible for her good 
 conduct as a member of the G. F. 8. Mrs. Binney acknowledges this 
 responsibility in her printed , circular in very strong language. The 
 Lady President says :— "These girls are to us a most sacred charge for 
 whom ic/jnsGoct we each must give our account." . This is language 
 of a most decided and aiinii}8takeable character. Therefore it is pretty 
 certain that Mrs. Binney asked the girl why she was married secretly, 
 or if she failed to do this, it was because the girl's figure, three weeks 
 before her baby was born and less than three months after marriage, 
 plainly showed that such a question was unnecessary. 
 
 1 need not pursue this subject, nor introduce outside proof, for it 
 iscircumstantially clear that both your Lordship and the Lady President, 
 your wife, knew from information obtained by inquiry, coupled with 
 individual observation, what was going to happen very shortly in your 
 Girls' Friendly Society's House, and yet, you both, being the only per- 
 sons in authority, decided not to move in. the matter, but let, things 
 take their coui-se, and you both became accessaries to the "indignity" 
 * that the child should be born in your "House devoted to Purity." 
 
 I have now respectfully to ask,consi(lering the premises, and what 
 you both Have written and one of you published on the matter. 
 
 /•/Vg^.-^Vyhy did you allow a young clergyman of the Church of 
 England, your Chaplain in charge of your Chapel, innocently to rent 
 rooms from you in "a Hoiisfe devoted to Purity," concerning one of 
 whose inmates (Daughter No. 1 of your tenant the care-taker) you had 
 been previously informed by your official "Sister Alice ]"— -"Sister 
 Alice" is a deaconess ordained by yourself, and her express duties were 
 '^th^ religious instruction of the neglected, the rescue oi the fallen, and 
 duties oi" a kindred nature." 
 
 Seeovd.-yWhy did you allow Da'tighter No. 2 of your tenant the 
 care-taker to remain an inmate of your "House devoted to Purity," 
 after you had been informed by your Chaplain, as the result of your 
 inquiry, that there was reason for her speedy marriage. 
 
 Third— Wi^y did the President of the G. F. S., your wife, after

 conversing with th^ gifLin the G. F. 8. House of which she was an 
 inmate, three weeks be^e her baby was bom, and observing her figure, 
 allow her still to ]:einain there with speedy results in view, if she ob> 
 jected to the baby bi^iug born in the house on the score of "indignity." 
 
 Further-- Why, four Itnonths after the occurrence had taken place, 
 did the Lady President venture to write and pubUsJti the following 
 words : — . . , 
 
 "Thus k&owing what our Society is, and his Bishop's affection foi' . 
 it, he (the Rev. K. C. H.) most cruelly put this indignity upon us 
 that the birth should ihke place under our roof, which should hay^a 
 been protected by his fostering cai-c. Thus tW House devoted to l| _^ 
 rity has become a sad reproach. The Chaplain not only conniveJ^aif^^ 
 the child being bom under the Bishop's roof, but also that it should 
 there remain concealed." ^ 
 
 Allow me to analyze this statement more fully. After your ■. 
 Ix)rdship had been informed as the result of your own inquiry, that 
 there was a reason for the speedy secret marriage,^ and after your Avife 
 had spoken to the girl, reasoned with her, ad^nishod her and obser- 
 ved her figure, why did not both of you^Jjw^g in authority, instantly 
 take steps, to prevent the "indignity" you deplore. 
 
 This "indignity under the Bishop's roof, *^ no one besides your- 
 selves could interpose to hinder or inhibit, and the I'cspousibility rests' 
 entirely and joiiftly with you and your wife. 
 
 The Chaplain was not only powerless to interfere, but he hhii no 
 .business to interfere-^he was merely your Lordship's tenant. He had 
 nothing to do with the Grirls' Friendly Society, and any responsibility 
 passed from him to you, after you and the President had been infovm- 
 ed. You were both accessaries to the "Indignity" in July, then why do 
 you take it up in November and lay the blame on the Chaplain 1 Tho 
 Chaplain's relation , to the G.F.S. is shown further on. 
 
 In dealing with this matter I submit that you can not act in the 
 double capacity of accessary and judge. Where is the record of your 
 own condemnation 1 
 
 MISCONDUCT AND TREACHERY. 
 
 Am I not now justly entitled to ask in view of the premises, why, 
 knowing all these facts, did you write to me on the 20th Nov. the fol- 
 lowing sensational pai-agraph, ignoring prior information :— 
 
 - "But while at Chic^o shortly before my return, I received the 
 astounding intelligence of his (the Rev. K. C H.) misconduct and 
 treachery with respect to the G* F. S., in consequence of which I left 
 Chicago at the first hour at which I was at liberty and travelled day 
 and night to share with the Directors of that Society the heavy bur- 
 den taid upon them." v

 THE BISHOPS AND THE LADY PRESIDENT'S 
 BESPONSIBILITY. 
 
 Y^ou have endeavoured to thrust your own and your wife's con- 
 certed neglect on alyoung clergyman who was powerless to act in the 
 
 matter 1 
 
 The fact is, you two, after being informed of what was certain tu 
 happen, and being alone in authority, adopted the course of standing 
 aloof and awaiting the denouement from afar, for certain reasons known , 
 to yourselvei. 
 
 Your wife says :-^" After that, (the interview with the girl on or 
 about the 26th June) 1 saw but little of any of the family." Now why 
 did Mrs. Binney see "but little of any of the family T Is not this a 
 confession? 
 
 * The Lady President says :— "How shall we answer to the parents. / 
 
 for the contact of their daughters with improper companions. These 
 girls are to us a most sacred charge for whom heforcMod we each must 
 
 give our account." , : ^ . 
 
 Then why did the Lady President, avoid seeing the care-taker of 
 
 the G. F. S. House and her family 1 Did sh,e not neglect lier. charge 
 for a special reason ? 
 
 I submit that it was impossible you could have been informed at 
 Chicago, during October, concerning a matter you knew in June. You ■; 
 
 may have been informed of con»c3«CMce« in October which had been ^^^,. 
 pointed out to you in June as certain to happen if you did not bestir 
 yourself. You and your wife made sure of the "indignity" occurring 
 under "the Bishop's roof," and then, whep it occurred, you denounced 
 it. I fear there wjf something else which hurried you in such hot 
 • , haste from ChicagdiBp that you arrived, as you tell me, in Halifax on 
 the 15th Oct. But be that as it may, your coirespotidence with the 
 Chaplain Up to the IStb Novfcmber,.is so thoroughly harmonious and 
 courteous and k;ind, that it is irrational to imagine the charges of "mis- 
 conduct" and'^"treachery" having been thought of prbr to Nov. 14th 
 i or Nov. 15th, of which more anon.

 letters to nio aro written lottors ; this bold assertion permitted by your* 
 wife was printed and published to be circulated throughout the- Die- 
 ceso, and it forms the fundaujentiU statement in the resohi^loU most • 
 likely to i)roduco a bad in>i)rcssion. 
 
 Considering the texts of Scripture quoted by the Lidy^Presideut 
 concerning ♦'Truth," ond other virtues, this published misrepresenta- 
 tion is about the worst feature in tho whole matter — it is so cruelly 
 and suggestively misleading. Why you permitted this printed docu- 
 ment to be circulated from your house, is a mystery black as ink. 
 
 Lam surprisotl that the Luly President did not see that if you 
 had put the Chaplain in charge of tho G. F. S. Hq^use, after what 
 "Sister Alice" had told you about the care-taker ami daughter,- it 
 would have been a crime of unpardonable character. You wouj^d 
 have put him into a trap, and used it afterwards to condemn him. 
 
 I am told that none of the city Clergy have any thing to do with 
 your "Chapei; Branch" of the Girls' Friendly Society at Ijinsdowue 
 House ; tbat none of the wives of the city Clergy join with the Asso- 
 ciates in this adjunct to your Chapel System. You and your wife are 
 alone in your management and responsibilities. In your address to 
 the Dioscesan Synod of Nova Scotia on tho 1st July, 1886, your Lord- 
 ship laments this isolation in the following words :— 
 
 "In my last charge I called the attention of the Clergy to two 
 valuable Associations designe*^^ promote purity in both sexes, and I 
 very much regret that not thflfslightest attention has been manifested 
 to my words. Two years have elapsed, and so far as regitrds thi& very 
 important matter we have p.ido no progress whatever."— (Page 88, 
 Journal of the 18th Session of the Pioscesan Synod of Nova Scotia.) 
 
 What is the reason of this extraordinary isolationT* Th e- "G« tLa!_ 
 Friendly Society," properly and humanely conducted, is a most valu- 
 able Institution. It is capalylo under wise and christian management 
 of conferring many and vyide spread blessings, and its object commenda 
 itself to all christian women and to all christian men. Hut under your 
 managem'ent, and subject to your impracticable hallucinations your 
 Branch can make no progress, and its feeble life is a lingeriijg decay. 
 
 . THE SYSTEM OF YOUR LORDSHIP'S CH APEL. \ 
 
 Apart from the fact that tKa.4^System of .your Chapel" is a public 
 institution supported by public contributions, your references to it 
 justify me in inquiring into that system, and especially for reasons 
 more fully set forth hereafter.

 statements. It was passed by your irresponsible committee in the ab- 
 sence of the Kev. gentleman to whom it referred. The prior resigna- 
 tion of the Rev. gentleman, of which your Lordship quoted one para- 
 graph to me in your letter of the 20th Nql^., not having been put on 
 your Chapel Kecords, and lam informed is not yet there. 
 
 So that, if occasion happens in three or four years time to hunt 
 up the testimonials of the Kev. K. C. H., there stands bn your Chapel 
 Kecords the unsatisfactory and dubious resolution of the committee, 
 founded on the ex parte statement of the Bishop, made in the ah- 
 ,8ence of the Chaplain, but no sign is visible of the Chaplain's prior re- 
 signation, and of the reasons therein assigned for the same. / 
 
 Is there in the Church of England, or in the law of the land, ot 
 in the instincts of freemen, a shadow of precedent for a resolution to 
 be so presented, so adopted and so placed on Chapel Records concern- 
 ing a clergyman of the Church of Ebigland, and, in^uch a one-sided 
 and dubious form as this t 
 
 It is only paralleled by the resolution of the Chapel Branch of the 
 Associates of the G. F. 8., who are, as you allege, part of your Chapel 
 System. Their resolution is based on the ex parte statements of the 
 
 i Bishop's wife as President of the G. F. 8., and has been circulated in 
 
 >^ printed form so that "it might be uiiderstood throughout the Diocese," 
 
 y j&c, &o. I refer to this "Itesolution" further on. 
 
 I Two important questioDB BOW arise, of great interest both to the 
 
 .Clergy and the Laity. 
 
 [■ I. — Can an anomtdous Chapel committee, consisting largely of a 
 .number of young men over whose aotions the Bishop exeroisee the 
 power of vbto, express and rioord as an hocilbsiabtioal DOctJMBNt, t^ 
 reeolution relating to a clergyman of the Chutch of England in his ab- 
 sence, based on ex parte statements of the Bishop and having no re^rd 
 to prioi^ proceedings and written dooaments relating to the same 
 matterl 
 
 II.->^Can a number of women forming an Association in alleged 
 connection with the System K)f the same Chapel, under the Presidency 
 of the Bishop's wife, meet together and pass a resolution to be distri- 
 bttted throughout the Diocffise, oonoeming a clergyman of the Chuio^ 
 of EngUmd, which resolution is based on ex path statoinents put for- 
 ward by the Bishop's wife in the absence of that clergyman, and which

 THE CELKHRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION IN THE 
 BISHOFS CHAPEL ON NOV. 14tii, 1886 llY 
 
 THE BISHOP'S CHAPLAIN. . • 
 
 ^ The subject which I now approach i« one of such weighty and 
 solemn import that I must needs draw upon the written evidence be- 
 
 fore me for its presentation. . i- i-i- 
 
 It deeply concerns both clergymen and laymen in this Uiocese, 
 
 for it raises the question whether the teachings in your Chapel are or 
 
 have been of such a character as to induce a large portion ot the con- 
 
 • areiration to join with the Chaplain in pioceodinga which you deBig- 
 
 Sate as "a profanation of the Holy MYHXKBiFis and an act of hacbi- 
 
 ^^^^'on Sunday, the 14th NoYomber, the Chaplain was permitted by- 
 vou to celebrate at the earljff morning service and to preach his farewell 
 sermon in the evening. I give the correspondence uo that there may 
 be no doubt about the matter. . . „^„^ 
 
 The avera^pumber of communicants at the early service m your 
 Chapel is aboM|. On the morning of the'1.4th Nov., the day on 
 V which the ChlPn was to celebrate for the last time, the attendance 
 of communicants reached the unusual number of 89, or more than lour 
 times^ihe average. The morning was rainy ; some of the communi- 
 cants werfe well on in years, and walked a long distance. I am inform- 
 ed that there was one present, a member of your family, who retirea 
 without communicating. Hence you doubtless received early informa- 
 tion concerning this unusual attendance. . . 
 ' You have narrated certain incidents in connection with this event 
 in your communication to me ^f the 20th4^'ovember. 
 
 This is what you say :— "^< * j r ♦

 Dear Lord Bishop,—! got back from Windsor this evening hav- 
 ing remained to assist Dr. Maynard on All Saints. 
 
 I would like, if convenient to you, to consider my engagement as 
 Chaplain, as having closed on October 31st, 1886. However, I shall 
 be here for two Sundays more, and would ask you, if you will kindly 
 let me celebrate Holy Communion, 8 a. nu, on Sunday the 14th, (Nov.) 
 and also preach in the evening. 
 
 As I have not been feeling well for some time, I consulted our 
 Dr. in Windsor and he tells me that my throat* in a rather bad con- 
 dition, but with rest and the treatment he can give, it will be wellin 
 U few weeks. \ 
 
 I fancy Draper, if he has returned, would preach for you next 
 
 Sunday morning, if you desired him. ;; \ ■':■ ,

 THE BISHOP TO THE ll^V. K. C. HIND. 
 
 ilAUKA.\, Nov. 1/ith, 1880. 
 Drar Mr. Hind, — I was mucli surhrised at seeing you officiating 
 at St. Luke's this niurning. Your preacning yesterday 1 thought niight 
 be under a misunderstanding, as you mjght have supposed (though er- 
 roneously) that ray special permission t|> officiate at the Chapel yeHtor- 
 day covered other services besides the celebration and thesehnon. Vou 
 must be aware that you have never had ^ny license otcept in conni'«- 
 tion with the Chapel, and that your licenBo ceased with the termination 
 of that connection. At present therefore the performance of any Church 
 . duty by you within the Diocese would be an offence againHt the Stntuti- 
 and as well as against the law of the Church. 
 
 I WAS PAlNrUI.LY SHOCKED BY YOUR AVOWAL YE8TERUAV KVK.N'LNli OK 
 THE AWFUL PROFANATION OF THE HoLY MysTERIEH, OF WHICH, TAHIN« 
 ADVANTAGE OF MY CONCESSION, YO^ HaVe BEEN OUILTV. YoU stJltwl 
 
 plainly that you wished the large attendance to be regarded as an evi- 
 dence of yonr high position 'in the estimation of my congregation. 
 
 Now, whatever mighthave been assumed if this had been a spon- 
 taneous gathering the aspect is entirely (jhanged by the fact that it was 
 the result of 2 or 3 weeks special canva^ing or entreaty, and that some 
 of those who attended have most unveseivedly condemned vour cuunst* 
 of action. ■ /^ "

 At ydQf Lordship iayt, there woro thoao there who do moat un-

 done very wrong in the way I acted, with rcHpect to the afCiiir at \jmm- 
 downe Terrace, and people have not hesitated to tell mo ao. 
 
 I moat omphatioally deny your Ix)rdHhip'rt unjuKtand cruel charge, 
 that I canvORHed npecially for two or three weokH. lliopod that, not< 
 withHtnuiting my faultM and failingH, when I woh ho aoon going away, 
 you would have told the people from the chancel that you had allow-, 
 vd roe to celebrate, and aaked the people to come. You did not. Ami 
 1^0 I wrote notm to many of the pooplo, in which I finid,— "That oh it 
 waH my lost celebration of tho Holy Communion, 1 would be glad for 
 my friends to come and join with niQ." Tho greater number I told 
 casually. Tuere were many there [ did not expect to hoo. 
 
 I had hoped from your I^rdnbip'a kindly and gracious riMinnor to 
 me in the Chapel, that all trouble was over, and that I might go away 
 in peace to work in another part of tho Diocese, aqd work for you. 
 Kut from your note of to-day, I feel that tho only thing for mo to do, 
 is to look for work in another Dioce«o. '^

 may both bo abte to forgive and forget. Ab I havo partly promised {t> 
 go there, I shall go, if your I^oMlfthip is pleased to license mo. 
 
 I am conscious that I have in many wa^s acted wrongly, but I 
 think. tho way I havo been treated is cruel and utajusi.

 Dear Mr. HiNn,— The present anomalous state of Chapel arrange- 
 ments is very inconvenient and desiring to have Mr. Gwyllen regular- 
 ly engaged in his work I will attend with him at the Chapel to-mor- 
 roAv (Monday) morning, at 10 a. m., when I request you to be present 
 and to- hand over the keys with the Register and all other things that 
 may be in your charge at present. Thanks tor your. offer toidistribute 
 the Reports of B H. M., but they will furnish Mr. Gwyllen with a 
 good reason for a first visit and an introduction to each of the families 
 
 I 
 
 who subscribe. He will begin at onco and I will give notice on 
 Thanksgiving Day that we are ready to receive the subscriptions. No- 
 tices ought'to have been given early in October, but owing to my ab- 
 feence and other circumstances it was forgotten. ..

 The interview in the Chapel took place on the Mond/iy, and I am 
 iiSformed was Very pleasant. You complimented the retiring Chaplain 
 in the presence of his successor, on the neatness and order of every- 
 thing that had been in the retiring Chaplain's ^harge. .But when the 
 Chaplain returned, to his lodgings, filled with good-fueling at your 
 "kindly and gracious manner," he found awaiting him there, your hor- 
 rible letter of the 15th, just reproduced. Why did you not speak to 
 the Chaplain in the vestry about the celebration, hea,r his answer and 
 explanations, and accord to a faithful servant of God, at Itiast a hear- 
 ing. But you let him pass from a "gracious and kindly manner" with- 
 out a word of warning, to that unsupported condemnation which he 
 found in your letter, of the same date, at his lodgings on his return 
 from service at St. Luke's.

 TlIK rXUSlJAL ArrKNDANCE AT TlIE EARLY CELEHItA- 
 TIOX.— THE CHAPLAIN BEING CELEHUAN T. ^ 
 
 Now with respect to your multiplied charges isiOncorning the modtv 
 in which the romarkuhhs attendance at the Early Celebration on thu • 
 '14th Nov. was secured, may 1 not rouiind you that there are' two pay- 
 ties to eVery agreement. 
 
 There were those who were, to use your words, "specially can- 
 vassed," "entreated" and "urged" to attend the Holy Communion 'as 
 you allege. A;id there was the Chaplain who diil this thing accohl- 
 ing to your statement. 
 
 Am I to suppose that you look upon a large proportion of the con- 
 gregation fre<iuentiug your Chapel in such a light that they Join with 
 the Chaplain in the ratio of G!) to 20 tp deliboratoly "protanu the Holy 
 Mysteries," and deliberately commit "an act of sacrilege." „„i___ : 
 
 The Chaplain utterly denies in writing the frightful charges - you 
 bring, but you heed him not. ilave you importuned all or any of thu 
 (J!) who attoiided above the average of 20, whether they are willing to 
 confess or even In the slightest degree admit that they thus profaned 
 the Holy Mysteries^ or thus committed heinous sacrilege ? Are all or 
 any of them willing to acknowledge that they did intentionally scotl' ni 
 Iteligipn and palter with God. Yet you charge the Chaplain and them 
 M'ith doing this. 
 
 Have you asked all pr any, whether they did not join with the 
 Chaplain at his last celebration of the Holy Communion, as an ac- 
 knowledgment of mutual trust ifl that infinite sacrifice such joining j 
 together inspires and Cements, and, as a recognition of his faithfulness i 
 in bringing that trust home to them 1 , ' 
 
 Do you charge an overwhelming majority of the communicants ', 
 with this grave profanation I For you can not charge one only of two 
 parties who concert together to do an evil thing. 
 
 .Why did you so speedily forget the list of communicants proffered 
 to you on the 2nd Nov. by the Chapl(i|n, and accepted by you Ton the 
 ."Vrd Nov. 1 Have you forgotten "some people who are pretty well on 
 in life and ought to be communicants/ the Chaplain names to you ? 
 
 The teing "pretty well on in life" and not communicants among 
 your congregation, might justly be interpreted into prior sjjiritual neg- 
 lect, certainly not chargeable to a young clergyman only two year.s 
 imd a half in holy orders. 
 
 Besides your Lordship ought to recollect that the Chaplain has 
 l)een ten-fold more intimate with the different members of the congre- 
 gation than yourself; You have been absent in England, in the United 
 States, in, youi* journeyings throughout the Province, &c., &c , whereas * 
 the Chaplain has made it his duty to visit and become friends witli * 
 that portion of his congregation which are too often neglected on ac- 
 count of theiT worldfy gtatm. But to hitn, a soul has been asout,

 whether attired (ij purple or clothed in horaospun, whether rolling in 
 wealth or toiling for daily broad. 
 
 I am almost afraid to a^k what the Lady President inoaut when 
 she addressed to the AssociatoR U»e words : — 
 
 **U is the old, old question— Barabbas or Christ ? The multitude 
 ranged on one side, rxh^t even taking the trouble to learn the truth, and 
 on the other the thorn-crowned Jesus, laden with the sins of the world. 
 Think what it may meai^ to palliate sin in the smallest degree. Let us 
 be sure first of the truth of what we condemn, but once convinced let 
 U8 have the courage to sp^k fearlessly, unmindful of the popular voice 
 which is as a general rule yntrue aiad dangerous." 
 
 What does Mrs. Binn^ mean by these words where she places 
 them? " ^ 
 
 A 
 
 TH^ CHAPLAIN « INCA^BLE OF ANY THING » LIKE A 
 SERIOUS VIEW ok LIFE OK OF DEATH." 
 
 Before I proceed to discuss the letter of the 16th Nov. which dis^- 
 closes the terms of your sentence fqr. the delinquencies charged by you, 
 I ask leave to advert to the statem^t you made to hie on the 2Gth 
 Nov. concerning the Chaplain, becaiiise it seems to throw some light 
 upon your state of mind at this time.\ You say to me in Writing :— 
 
 "He (the Chaplain) seems i^ioapa^blb of any thing like a seri- 
 ous view either of life or death." \ ; ' 
 
 You have assumed the rplepf prosector, witness, jury and judge ; 
 and youiiave closed your infliction of an\ exceedingly heavy sentence 
 under these unfawful conditions with an iiyowal to me, a layman, that 
 ray son "seems incapa^ of any thimj like a serious view of li/6 or 
 deatVy Therefore it behooves me to inquire further into the matter 
 and test the grounds for a«o sweeping an alle^tion and charge, which, 
 if%rue, would certaialy jireclude the object worn any ministration in 
 Churchesof. the Church/ of England. , \ 
 
 This surprising assertion follows swiftly after a demonstration of 
 very, unusual ch&racter/on the part of the congregation under the charge 
 of the clergyman you denounce and condemn. Moreover^ it was a de- 
 monstration of that c^s^tacter which best supports the conception that 
 he did take an, unusually serious view of both life ind death. 
 
 The fact that more than foiir times the average number who at- 
 tend the early celejjption in your Chapel, did come to "join with 
 him" in the most solemn farewell recognition that can be made respect- 
 ing the vanity of life and the seriousness of death, is to my mind suf- 
 ficient proof of the unguarded character of your assertion and the nn;' 
 balanced condition of your mind. \i * . 
 
 Then there is the "informationVconcerning your congregation 
 which he proffered on the 2nd Nov., after his resignation, and which

 you said on the 3rd you would be glad to rocoivo. ThJH "information" 
 comprised, as the Ghiiplain's letter relate* :— 
 
 Ist— A new list of raombei-8 attending the ChapoJ. , . 
 
 2nd — A list of communicants arranged in order. 
 ■ 3rd. — A list of*thoso who need instruction for confirmation. 
 
 4th. — A list of some people, pretty well on in life, who ought 
 tp be communicants. v , 
 
 An outsider, not knowing any thing of your relations, would 
 think that it was your province to furnish the Chaplain with much of 
 this information. But it turns out that the Chaplain offers to suivpl.r 
 it to you, and you accept it from a yoiing man "who seems incapable of 
 any thing like a serious view either of life or death," according to your 
 account to me penned in one of your darker hours. " 
 
 Besides this you forget his habits, and his daily work. It is very 
 unpleasant to have to parade these, but they are in such* contrast with 
 your illogical jhallucinations, that they require a brief notice :— 
 
 i.-^NJeither wine or spirituous liqueM ever pass his lips. 
 
 2. — He does not use tobaccp in any form. , , 
 
 3.- — He does not and never has played at cards. 
 
 4.-T-He never dances, nor has he even waltzed with the ypung 
 
 lady Associates who were beguiled into signing the 
 
 "Kesolution." 
 
 On the other hand— he has received a gracious message from the 
 Hospital,* th«£t the JMitiehty often inquire after him. "Letters come to 
 me, recounting his constant and welcome visits to the sick in unlovely 
 homes. Letters come to me speaking of hia Uniform kindness and at- 
 tention to the poor. -More solid testimonials attest gratit^c for his 
 ministrations by the bed of suifering and in th^ hour of death. 
 
 The children too of the choir, brought, their loving gifts, and thf iw 
 were those pf riper years who mingled their farewells >yith tears. / 
 
 All this does not look as if many or any joined with you in the 
 avowal that, "He seems incapable of any thing like a sekious view 
 
 EITHER OP LIFE OR OF DEATH."

 De^b Mr. Hind,—! neud not Ion gar delay answering your lettfjr 
 of yesterday on account of its reference to Newport. I had hoped that 
 In your sermon on Sunday evening you would hove in some form ad- 
 mitted that you Had done wrong and expressed sorrow for the gHevon» 
 
 Hcandal that you have caused. ^ \ ,, . ^ 
 
 You complain of "the troatfnent ,that ybu have received, Intt it 
 fippears to me tjiat Uiere has been ati'oxcess of leniency with the ut- 
 most possible rbgai-d for your feelings,, while you, until yoHjf letter of

 and entirely. What can you possibly meah by denying that you con- 
 ' spired with others to deceive hie % You wbre thfe one person in whom 
 I WAS BOUND TO CONFIDE with respect to the inntates of the house, arid

 "Sister Alice" when there told me what evidently, as we now see 
 it, was the' truth respecting M—^, but knowing that she was crpt- '

 tively denied tiro statements. ^

 Ist —Why did you revive in November that which was comlou- 
 id in June, when you asked the Chaplain if there was any reason'for 
 tho seci-ot marriage I Why bring all this ui. ag>iin, invest it in the ex- 
 aK<'oratod language you employ, and iguortj in the oHurt your owH_^ncl 
 7our wife's culpable inaction and your.consequont lOle as accessarios. 
 
 Does not your joint raking up in November that which had been 
 condoned in Juno and left to your authoritative action, show how you 
 nursed the "indignity 1" - - ' r^-- ■ -■ ■ .'■ '■ . { -^^^■-:-^^^:-^---, 
 
 Is it not rpasonable to suppose, considering the stramtid njIatioBs 
 so long subsisting between your ivife and the Chaplain on account of 
 "interference and dictation,', coupled with the surprising assemblage at 
 the Early Celebration on Sunday 14th Nov.; that you were moved on 
 the 16th to write the horrilile letter 1 have reproduced, and impelled 
 •on the 16th to revive the condoned offence of not telling you about, 
 the marriage, investing it with deceitful imputations 1 
 
 2nd.— Closing your intellect to reason, and yonr ears to positivi* 
 denial, did not you and your wife build these fragmentary makeshifts 
 into a plea for unlawful judgment, in order to cover your own short- 
 comings, and the failure of your Chapel System with its adjunct the (i. 
 F. S., under your joint anomalous and arbitrary management / 
 
 . Did not the presence of that ufiusually large assemblage at tho 
 (Jliaplain's Farewell Celebration of the Holy Communion on the morn- 
 ing of the 14th Nov., arouse feelings which could only find vent in un- 
 charitable power unduly and illegally exercised I ' 
 
 Did you not both succumb to a skeleton in the closet occasion-

 3ixl_If any pbople did "ask very earnestly how coold a young 
 unmarried clergyman remain\in a house with fallen women with whom 
 he had to be in daily commuiiication," why did you allow him to cele- 
 brate two days before you mjide this extraordinary statement ? 
 
 Who are these "Fallen Women 1 Who else was there in the G.

 past transgression as to revive' after marriage, the sin of a girl who 
 transgressed before marriage, and style her a "fallen woman 1" What

 Had it come from an equal to an e<iual, it would havn bflon«horn 
 of ita ating, bocauao it could have been iinRvrored with merited retort. 
 
 But emanating from a Hiahop inditing an unlawful Bonteiice against 
 hiH youthful Chaplain from whom no reply was admitted, it wears a 
 malignant aspect nfrely to be mot with. 
 
 He had told you it was pity which moved him to save the mother 
 ftom your wrath, and led him to hold the confMHion mered and con- 
 sequently the marriage secret. What rhorc did you want 1 What right 
 have you to use the term "fallen women" under these contlitious, and 
 with such an imputation t 
 
 Did it nott strike you that on retijoapect of what occurred, ant/ 
 you permitted, in your own dwelling house, 66 HoUis Street, within , 
 the pa«t four yeara, the cruel term "l^allen Women," as you have ap- 
 plied it, would recpil on you and your wife with accusing and increas- 
 ing force. I 
 
 Suppose your Lordship's clergy were to style women who Ijiave so 
 transgressed and subsequently married— fallen wom^ — is there a 
 "Parish in the country in which they wo^ld not create implaciible ene- 
 mies, and endanger the interests of the Church jjul^xif Religion in the

 ^ asking very earnestly how could a young unmarried clergyman remain 
 •fin a house wit^ Fidien Women with whom he had to be in daily com- 
 munication, AND^WftT WAS HK 80 ANXioUS TO'CONCBAL THBIR GUILT." 
 
 Now, my Ix)rd, why did you and your wife actually conceal the 
 
 Siilt of theae people in June, when you wore informed by the Chap- 
 in, kud your wife obeerVed the girl a figure, and conversed with her 
 '^bout her secret marriage f You and your wife did that thing which 
 y0n allege people ask why the Chaplain was aiixious to do it. But 
 yon and your wife were tlke^rties in authority, and no other. You 
 are self-oondemned, my LoroNs^

 I am afraid it was the 89 who pnwonted thetnaelvoa to join with

 average attendance of 20, which moved you in four and twenty houra 
 to aiulc into revengeful Hih of nanieleiui type. 
 
 I can not but think thiH iH one of the roots of your hitterneu, for 
 in your letter to me of tho 20lh Nov. you aay that on your sudden ?•■ 
 turn from ChicnKO a/ter receiving tho OHtounding intelligence of "hiw 
 Misconductand Treachery," you waited ^lomo days "hoping that he would 
 have tho good Anse to come or writo and AP0U}aiZR for his wrong

 THE CHAPEL records; - 
 
 There is a passage in your Lordship's letter to me of the 20th 
 Nov. I would willingly pass over if justice did not demand its sub- 
 mission. I observe you include this passage in your sentence which 
 compels me to notice it without stint. You say to me :-^k^^^^ 
 
 "I wrote him that I could not issue another licenscL until after a 
 «ihort interval of suspension, but tuat if nothing Monf game to my 
 KNOwLtDOB AOAiNHT HIM, I would be ready to g?anC him a license to 
 Newport before Christmas." i ' 
 
 In your sentence you say :—, i;>' 
 
 "But if nothing more eotniu outagatntt jiott, 1 hope to be able to 
 grant you a license belGore Christmas, say before Bee. 19th." 
 
 But, my Lord, yon and your wife had oithet invented or concerted 
 that which you 8ll«ffl;e did come out against the Chaplain, or you had 
 so prepared and adjusted matters by inaction, that certain alleged 
 neglect of clerical duty by a Curate towards^ his Rector^ or a Chaplain 
 towards his Bishop as Rector, should be revived at the first convenient 
 moment and used against him. 
 
 But this alleged neglect of duty in not verbally reporting the mar- 
 riage and baptism to you, wa»4i(m^ned by >ivhat took place in June, 
 and your subsequent examination of the marriage Register. The Bap- 
 tism in the Chapel was nUnoduly reeordMl— and a baptism must, with 
 a true Churchman, speedily follow a birth. Your ovm Chapel Recordn 
 lu to Marriage and Baptism are witnesses against you. They are a 
 Heport of the clerical proceedings in your Chapel, just as your allow- 
 ing the "liesolution" of the ChaM^ommittee based on your own ej; 
 7>ar<e statements, to be put on tM Chapel Records without the pribr 
 "Resignation" of the Chaplain^; are a renort of the committee's and 
 your proceedings. The difference being that the Chaplain's record is 
 just and true, your record is unjust and untrne. ^

 closed eopy of a resolution tlien pivssed unanimously, and also a copy

 «OPY OF RESOLUTION TASSEl) AT A MEETING OP THE ASSOCIATES OF THE 
 O. F. H. TUE bishop's CHAPEL BRANCH. 
 
 A misundei-standiug having hitherto prevailed among the Asso- 
 ciates of the Girls' Frieftdly Society, they are much grieved to learn 
 to-day THEjiRL'E CIRCUMSTANCES of the late scandal at Lansdowne Ter-. 
 race, and desire to put on record an expression of the same, and record 
 their approval oi the action iaheu hy their l^n^trofiythe Bishop, in th>'

 At the same time expressing their deep grief at the course taken 
 by Mr. Hind— the ex-Chaplain— then iN charge of the G. F, S. 
 House. 
 
 Also Resolved — That a copy of the same be sent to Mr. Hind, .s.) 
 /hut it may be understood throughout the Dwce^jf that the Society cen-

 Now what are laymen or lay- women to do in the face of such a 
 resolution attached to such a printed document as is furnished by the 
 J.ady President ? This document is reproduced in the Appendix. 
 
 What are they to do with the Clergyman to whom it relates, sup- 
 I)Osing they have sought for his services as a guide in spiritual things. 
 Are they to reject the Clergyman and accept the resolution, or coil-' 
 
 X 
 
^ 
 
 \>. 
 
 teraptuously to reject the resolution and accept the Clergyman 1 In 
 either case dissonsions are engendered, and doubts raised by this un- 
 christian and anomalous method. : \ .11 
 
 Why you allowed this resolution to be cii-culated in print with* the 
 words, "th? true circumstanges" and "then in charqe of the G. F. 
 &. House," is only on most painful grounds explicable, because you 
 say to me in your letter of the 20th, that the care taker was in "charge 
 of the G. F. S. House." These words contain the sting, they are so 
 misleadingly false. ■.■■■'.'"■■'"'"''-■■:■ '-'^'j-- 
 
 I.— Do you not see, my Lord, that the act of allowing or induc- 
 ing your wife, for whose doings yon are responsible, to concoct and pre- 
 sent to the Associates of what you designate "a part of the System of 
 ybur Chapel,'! a tissue of misrepresentations on which these Lady Asso- 
 ciates found an official resolution condemnatory, in his absence, of the 
 clergyman t» charge of your Chapel, which resolution your wife also 
 signs and publishes, is an injustice and a meann^s of execrable chai- 
 ■iacter.' .. : " ^ ; .: , r 
 
 II.— Do you not see, further, that wben this published official reso- 
 lution thus worked out, besides condemning the clergyman to whom it 
 refers in his absence, o/jproww of what you are alleged to have done 
 in the matter, and is signed by your wife and another member of your 
 Family, for both of ' whom ybu are responsible, it becomes an offence, 
 icause in view of the sentence you subsequently and illegally impose 
 ani enforce in relation to the matter, and then forward to hie, it is 
 equivalent to the furnishing of false witnesses, or the gathering ok

 til— Do you not see that the hiding from the Associates by you 
 and youTvwife of your joint knowledge of facts in June with regard to 
 daughter No. II., and what "Sister Alice" had told you when resident- 
 at Lansdowhe Terface about daughter No. I., i$ not only equivalent to 
 collusion to deceive, but to secure support to an illegal and unjust sen- 
 tence, atrociously fenced and buttressed. - 
 
 Some of the\allegation8 in your wife's published letter of the 15th 
 Nov. aiid those inVour vpluminous letter to nae of the 20th Nov. are 
 almost identicalinl)hraseology, flhowing, apart from other evidence, 
 that you \^ere cogniiant of the contents of your wife's published letter. 
 Air you can say to me, when I point out the injustice and impro- 
 .|)riety of the action of ^e ladies, is embodied in an abstract principle 
 
 which avoids the facts ofythe case :--r 'Zi...,,.'.-2'- *

 work are not at liberty to condemn either a Priest or Bishop/who in-

 No. III. in Appendix^.} 
 
 Again, — You say to me : — ^ 
 
 ."I did not see it (the resolution) until after it had been adopted." 
 
 But you allowed it to be jmhlished. This makes the matter worse. 
 -You noticed a "curious no/« sequitur" and you allowed it to be made 
 public. The meaning and cruel force of the passage in which the tion 
 miuitur occyxK was permitted by yoil to produce its effect. * 
 
 Picture if yov, can the heart-ache and loneliness of a young clergy- 
 man who hlhd^tty||uociated at your request with you from the outset 
 of his career.- "M^Bftj""^ passed from a "kindly and gracious manner'-' 
 in the vestry ailpl^^hapel to be confronted in his chamber with: 
 your cruel letter of the l6th, swiftly followed on the 16th by ia seiQ- 
 tence liable, if |iot counteracted^ tp throw a shadowover his whole life. 
 Then, to crown all, these women jurists send on the same day thotr 
 servile approval of your action before it is taken, based on the piously 
 draped misreptesentations of your wife, the whole to he "understood 
 throughout the Diqcese.-* The protests of the clergyman being dfsre- 
 "garded and his actions controlled by \\\^"Oath of Canonical Obedience.^* 
 
 What is to become of the Church iOi^Nova Scotia if you allow your 
 wife to sign and spread such untrue ana mi&leading stuff as is above 
 recorded against a clergyman of the Church of England, based on her 
 own one-sided misrepresentation 1 * , 
 
 You write to me on Nov. 30th to say that "you are told that it 
 has not been circulated." But some weeks after I get a printed copy 
 through the post with an endorsement on the back in the hand- writing 
 of a member of your family, one of jbhe signers ; and I had previously 
 heard from various sources that it had been distributed a very few days 
 after the 15th November, and that strangers had. read it. 
 
 Were you not frightened, my Lord, at this bold attempt to crush 
 and besmirch, in order to hide unlawfulness, injustice and heinous 
 transgression, when you wrote to me, that you were "told" it had not 
 been circulated t,^ , 
 
 You write to ineto say you were "tou)" it had not been circu- 
 lated. But when you penned the word "told" you knew that it hsfd 
 been circulated. " - „ , 
 
 The vindictive character of these, concurrent ac^ is indescribable, 
 considering the innuendoes and imputations of which your wife's ^let- 
 ter, the resolution and your letters are susceptible. . 
 
 In your letter of illegal sentence despatched on jbhe same day as 
 this "Resolution" you speak of "Fallen Women" in ti^ducing and in- 
 sinuating relation to the matter. In your letter to ide, written four- 
 days after, you so over-reach yourself in your vindictiVeness as to say, 
 you "hoped that he might avail himself of the opportunity t6 admit (in 
 his sermon) that he hadiicted injudiciously '^ not criminally i

 The Early Gelebratibh on the 14th Nov. took place with the re- 
 sult! described. But a full account of all that occurred during the day 
 would be very far from complete, if I did not notice your Lordship's 
 remarks from your place in the Chancel during the* 11 o'clock service. 
 
 Your Lordship adopted the unnecessary and to many the astound- 
 ing course of informing the people that although you had consented tQ.. 
 Mrv Hind celebrating in the morning and preaching in the evening, you 
 desired to remind them that his connection *«with the. Chapel had 
 ceased some time' before. This was done in yottt peculiar and unpre-

 style.

 /the 15th Session,^ 1880, wo have a very eii- 
 ^ouraging report Irom )i<he Principal, upon which a resolution was pass- ' 
 ed for extending it, and » carrying out (he original scheme. But un- 
 happily, Mr, P. becaihe involved in debt amd lost courage, his energy 
 failed, and the school came to an untimely end.*" •' 
 
 Such is the colpurless description with which ydu gloss over one 
 of the most disgnWeful transactions that have tarnished the history of 
 the Church in Koyu Scotia. 
 
 I have recently gathered the following facts in> Halifax, which, < if 
 they are not correbt, you have the opportunity to set me right. 
 ^^ Before you sKicepted the Rev. J. P. as your Chaplain and Principal 
 of your Diocesan School, he was indebted to the amount of about $2Q0O 
 in the parishes he served prior to his comihg to Halifax. In Halifax, 
 during the t^me he was ^'your prot^g^," he increased his indebtednesa 
 to about ^dOOu, of which it is stated you have ffaid only $3000. The 
 remaining I am told is still owing. ' ' 
 
 It has roj^ently been reported to me in Halifax that he escaped from 
 
 his creditors by being smuggled on board a steamer. That he went in 
 
 this steamer /CO Baltimore, and returned in this same steamer to Hali- 
 
 , fax, remaining concealed in the vessel during the time she stayed in 
 
 Halifax before her final departure for England. 
 
 ' Among the debts of this defaulterthere ate those, I am told,ii^Bichi 
 can not be advisedly named. ".'^.'H^- :,::■: ■ 
 
 Were you not informed of the conditipn of his School some time 
 before he left, and would not look into the matter t— yet he i^ your 
 Chapla^, and his School was the Diocesan Church School. ', 
 
 is alleged that after he escaped from Nova Scotia, he was per- 
 mitted to preach and perform Church Services. But there are certain 
 standing regulations concerning the ministrations of a Clergyman in 
 one Diocese after he has left another Diocese, which regulations relate 
 to 'Otters Dimissory," or "Letters Testimonial," &o., &c. . 
 
 I shall not pursue this painful subject further than to point out 
 tl^ amazing difference between your illegal treatment of Clergymen aC' . 
 cording as it suits your purpose ; and the^ possible neglected condition 
 pf a portipn of your congregation at the time when they were subject^ 
 id to the ininistrations of a Clei^man under your immediate personal 
 supervision, whose record is such that it cannot be described without 
 scuidal to the Church in Nova Scotia. You say in your letter of ap> 
 pointnient already quoted, addressed to the Eev. k. C. Hind, — ''The 
 great defect Kas been the lack of pastoral visitation in the case of my 
 ^laplains hitherto, and this I particularly want to remedy." 
 
 Did not the pastoral visitation you secured on appointment of 
 your late Chaplain to the charge of your Chapel, find expression in the 
 attendance of 89 communicants at his farewell celebration in contra- 
 distinctiod to the average of 20 1 ■ ^ —

 Seeing that you have proferrud a charge, to me, a layman, concern- 
 ing the alleged public reference 'in a sermon by the Kev. K. C. H. to 
 the condition of your congregation prior tp 4»i8 acceptance of the othce 
 vacated by the Clergyman who was smuggled on board a steamer to 
 escape his creditor** is it not just that the circumstance of thisscandal • 
 'in relation to the Systen) ofSyottr Chapel should be thoroi^gbly ex- 
 
 aminedl • ' ^ ' , 
 
 You led your irresponsible Chapel Committee to adopt a resolu- 
 tion concerning the late. Chat>laih in his absence, ignoring his prior 
 letter of resignatioOj'and thus committed ftn act of grievous injury, un- 
 ♦knovn to justice^ and unknown to our Church System, but adopted by 
 -your "Chapel System." Therefonj it is just to inquire into the prior _ 
 records of your "Chgpel System," in order to^put in their proper light 
 the recent acts of your Chap6l Comjniltee. "* ^ 
 
 One would have thought that the instinpts of freemen. wpuld have '^ 
 ' rebelled against a method of recording transactions ii^ any '•Chapel 
 System" which sets justice at defiance and converts tthe agents into . 
 , mere tools of arbitrary and illegal control. f >f 
 
 Your Chapel Committee can not bej)ennitted to da this thing.

 THE MISLEADING G^RGE^ OF THixORD 1?ISH0P. 
 
 I now approaei^ phas^ of this matter which is at the same time 
 both distressin^lnd repulsive, considering its bearings I ask your-^ 
 » Lordship's most earnest attowtion to it, for I feAr iBhall have to mirror . 
 your Mart before you. /;„%;, ,^^ , ., 
 
 1.— The Chaplain wfites to you under date Nov. loth the follow- 
 
 ing words :t— ' . , v • ' -i- 
 
 "As your Lordahip says, there were %hoao there who do mpst un- 
 reservedly condemn my course of action., .lam, conscious of having 
 done very wrong in the ^ay I acted, with respect to the affair at Lana- 
 downe i'errace, and people have not hesitated ta tell me so." ' v^ 
 Anda^ininthe8ame|etttor:-r^ 'v -^^ '^ 
 
 "lamconsdousthatlhaveininany ways acte^ wrongly, but 1 
 think the w^y I have been treated is cruel and u^ust." 
 
 2.— In your Lordship's reply conveying your sentence dated th^' 
 16.th Nov., you acknowledge this admission, you say :-7- / 
 
 "You complain of * the treatment that you have recdved,* but it 
 
 appears to me that there has been an excess of leniency with the ut- 
 
 - most possible regard for your feelings, while you, until your letter o/ 
 
 ■ yesterday, have peisisted in defending your course of conduct wholly^ 
 
 and entirely;" ? \\ , . • i.^

 This is what you uUowod your wifeto publish, after tlio 15th Nov.,, 
 the day on which the Chaplain wrote the ^jovo admiHsion — you 
 allowed this notwithstanding his letter of lioffguation on the 19th 
 ( )ctober. 
 
 "The Bishop having heard the sad story in his absence from homo, 
 waited patiently day after day on his return for some avy waf from Mr. ' 
 Uind of his action in the matter, but none wa^ otibred either by letter 
 or word of mouth. The Girls' Friendly Society, after such irreparable 
 injury might well have expected from liim some acknowfedgment of • 
 the deep otfonce, and an expression of regret for the same," i<cc , &c. _ 
 
 ^,*-I now solicit your lordship's unbiassed contemplation of the 
 following passage in your letter to me of the 20th Nov.,r— four days 
 later : — 
 
 "Feeling that he (the Chaplain) . had manifested an entire' miscon- 
 ception of his position and dutiy, and, which was still worse, of tho ^ 
 heinousness of the din of which those girls had been guilty, without 
 the^ligfitest sugtjestwn of any regret for the seandal that he hud 
 eaused, i wrottj that I could^ not conscientiously rtllow him to take 
 charge of another Parish without some mark y^ ttw view -oi' his con- 
 duct; . ;■ ': ; ■., '"■ .. ^- ■ 
 
 "I wrote him thatT could not issue another license until after a 
 short iuteryal of Suspension, but that if nothint/ more came to' mi/ 
 hu)wled{/e\iyniJUthim,lwou,U\)M ready to graiit 4»tin a license to ' 
 .Newport before Christmas, trustinjf that he had learned a lesson.which 
 might benoticially affect his future life- and conduct," unti thmat length 
 he admitted thai JieJiiul done wrong but only through aU error in 
 judgment, while at the same time ho proved his unfitness for any euro

 _ to the Church of which he is a minister} which ought to have

 "'^•^hout refei;ring to your Ixirilship's and your wife's concerted 
 --T.^ p- — the matter during th^ month of June and subsequently, al-

 THE LORD BISHOP'S LETTER TO MR., HIND. 
 
 . V Haufax, Nov. "aOth, 1888. 
 
 Mx Dear Mr. Hind,— ABSuming that^you must be much troubled by the 
 .*»itnatio|[i of your son Kenneth, I think that I ought to expli^ it to^^ou as well 
 
 , as I can. 
 
 H«|ippear8 to be the victim of self-conceit. In a letter of Sept 18tf» ad- 
 tlres^ to me while in the U. S. he actually denies my right to choose the 
 hymns in* my own chapel when jpiresent, without satisfying Wm as to the 
 jgrounds oh which I made the selection, and claims an absolute i%ht to ignore 
 the selection made by my direction in my abseoteer -- 
 
 He speaks of himself as Priest in sole charge of the ChalpeL " 
 
 ■ ' You might perhaps find out from him when or by wh|t document he was * 
 placed in such an independent position* 
 
 V Asa fact his only license was to assist me in the Chapel as a Deacon, and 
 he has had no special license as a Priest. 
 
 I am much amused by learning that he arrogated to himself peculiar dig- 
 ' nity as my Chaplain to the disgust of some of the other Clergy. But he was 
 «mly called Chaplain because he officiated in my Chapel, which is a very differ- 
 ent thing/ 
 
 One would have supposed that his constant use of the title woilld have re- 
 minded him that he had no independent position whatever, not eyen such as ah 
 urdmary Curate has in some respects. ^ i 
 
 As a militaiy man said the other day he had always supposed the position 
 of « Chitplain to be somewhat of the same nature as that of an A. D. C> 
 
 During my a^Aence he has always been directed .to go to my house every 
 Friday moijiing to fee whether there was any communication from me through 
 my wife. 
 
 This he has refused to do during>'.my late absence. He complains in the 
 above letter of the many disagreeable things that he has had to endure, and I 
 should have been obliged to come to an understanding with him on my return 
 home, for I had not the slightest wish to retain him if he fouhd his position un- 
 satis^tory. - - » - 
 
 But while at Chiotgo shortly before my;retum I received the astounding 
 intelligenoe of his misconduct and treachery with respect to the G. F. S., in 
 
 ' / 
 
 ■I 
 
 H 
 
56 
 
 
 i cottseciuenoe of which I left Chicago at the first hour at which I was at liberty, 
 and travelled day and night to share with the ctirectoi's of that Society the 
 heavy burden laid upon them, g, 
 
 I thus retume<l home sooner than was expected, Friday Oct. 15th, when I 
 ought strictly qpeaMng to have immediately sent to him his dismissal, but in 
 order to give him every chanc^ I waited some days hopingthat he wouhl have 
 the gooil sense to come or write and afmhi/izt for his wrong doing, but all tonO 
 purpose, for on Friday 19th he wrote me :— ' ' > 
 
 "Your Lordship's displeoiiire has been of course incurred by my mode of 
 
 f action in the sad trouble that luis occurred in the House, of which you doubt- 
 less have heard. With respect t(. it I feel perfectly justified in what I have 
 done, inasmuch as I acted consfttently witli my office as a Priest of the Church." 
 My answer to this was to ank him to coine and see me the next morning, 
 and I then pointed out to him the mischief that had been done, and he agreed, 
 «till insisting upon the propriety of his action, that his connection with thJ 
 Chapel hod better lease (it an early date. 
 
 From that day to this he has never come to see me, nor had he il^^way 
 whatever retracted his assertion of his right dealing until Tuesdoy hS^hen 
 finding that everybody whose opinion was worth having was against him, he 
 admitted in writing that he had done wrong, but insisted that it was only an 
 error in judgment. 
 
 r^his plea is utterly iniwlmissttble, liccause he had not endeavoured to at- 
 tain Any guidance. ^, ,;- 
 
 He says he was afrdjd to consult me, liCcause he feared that I should turn 
 his proteges out of the House. (Jh6 very reason for insisting that they should 
 voluntarily leave it or allow the truth to be told). But admitting this plea 
 there were the city Rectors and |he Archdeacon who Would have been safe 
 guides, but like Rehoboam he followed tlie advice of the yoimg men, whom he 
 has m everything ma«le his confidants, even betraying to them his correspond- 
 ence with his Bisht^jj until he hus well nigh ruined himself. 
 
 The facts which 'l will briefly state, that you may have them cdrrectly, 
 are that 2 of the daughters of the woman in charge of the (iirls' Friendly So- 
 ciety's House, where he rewded, sinned grievously, and one of them was mar- 
 ried by him in March opeWy, and went away with her husband, the other, 
 Emily, was marrietl secretly by him April ,26th, and Although I was with him 
 at the Chapel on that day both before and after the marriage he never alluded 
 to it. ■ ■ Jjm^ 
 
 In his return of work and of liis official acts for that week it was not men- 
 tioned. 
 
 He was perfectly rigfci to marry tlife transgressors, but the concealment was 
 absolutely unjustifiable. 
 
 It would have been so in any case, but here the great aggravation was that 
 the girt was a member of the ft F, S. whose central lule is that any departure 
 from the path of purity <prfeitsS membership, and yet he, living in the Society's 
 House and regarded asa giiardian of its principles, conspired with her and her 
 
 ":'

 * . , I ^ ' . . ■ . 
 
 mother to keep froin me ami from the latlies the knowledge Wtli of the nuir 
 ijftge antlof the previous ain, of which ho tulmits thiit he won aware at thu time 
 of the marriage hist Kasteir. 
 
 Thus he allowed the ladies to continue to hold their nieetingsin the Houw 
 inculcating and endeavouring to promote a horror of all that is impnre and un- 
 Iteeoming a christian woman, while the transgressor was still residing there and 
 preparin(( for the birth of her child, which occurred duly l«th, Imt wij,s only 
 known to them through an acciduntiil visit of Mrs. Binney to the kitchen in 
 October, when to her dismay she stvw the child, then ne»vvly 3 rt«oHths old. 
 
 She then, l>eing I'resitlent of the .Society, went toyour son'sWoms witht>ut 
 any suspicion of his knowledge of flie melancholy fact, and when jilmost broken- 
 hearted she spoke with tears of thirf sad fall of one of the girls over wlwni alio 
 watched with tender care and anxiety, he, instead of sympathizing with her, 
 treated the matter of little consetjuencej jsaying that her elder sister hadoit'end 
 ed in the saine way, and then l)ecoming angry (conscience stricken, I supposed 
 grossly insulted her. 
 
 For this last otfence I'am bound to say that he apolbgizetl after thy return 
 home. 
 
 He on the next Sunday preached a serinon understood by all acquainte<l 
 vwith the circumstances as a direct attack upon Mrs. Binney and the>*6oiety, 
 which he knew to be the object of my care, in which I have been, most deeply 
 'interested. ■ ' ,' ' ■■ * '" ;'■•-•■■■■. ;' 
 
 He thus not only betrayed the trust rejposed in him, but actually con- 
 demned the prindiples of the Society which I hwl publicly at the Synod warm- 
 ly commended and urg»d the Clergy to sUpport. * ^ 
 
 There was a clear nonest course open to him. He was at liljerty to object 
 to my teacliing and to prove that all the BisKbps arc wrong in supporting thiH 
 Society, but not jn my Chapel, nior while claiming a position in coniMjCtioii 
 ■ with me. - ;*^ ■ ■'■;■'. ■:.. ! ■' ■ 
 
 If he could not conscientiously suppoit it and advocate its principl*ffl, he 
 was bound in honour to resign, but wfe\iiow that while listening to my words 
 at the Synod July 1st, be was concealing a crime of which he had been (jonsci- 
 «U8 for at least^nionths, and which was soon about to l)ear fruity for thechild 
 was born on th& 18th. 
 
 One might have expected that even if he had been bljnd or deatl to his ob- 
 ligations previously, my strong words respecting the Society and its principles 
 would have awakened him and opened his eyes to the anomaly of his situation 
 as resident in the Society's house' and officiating in my Chapel, but even now 
 ^e appears uiiable to discover the true character of his course of conduct, and 
 he has been up to the last as frivolous and devoid of any sign or api)earance of 
 penitence as though he had done no harm, and the grievpus injury inflicted by 
 him upon the Church as well as upon the individuals concerned were a matter ' ,

 However, at his si^vial reijuest 1 gkve him permission to ottiv^« at tftu 
 early celebration and to preach in the evening on Su»iday "th. :''W 
 
 This wab a special favour, and I hopctl that he might avail himself o( the 
 opportunity to a<lmit that he had iicted injudiciously if not criminally, and to 
 express his regret that jp muoli scandal had been caused. 
 
 ::•*»* Instead of so doing, he giorifie<lhira8eli, treating the attendance at tlw^ 
 H.q. as "a proof of their love and esteem," whereas several were there accord/ 
 ing to thei^ custom without reference to him, and several othei-s went merely 
 l»ecause Ije had gone from house to house or written urging'them toatUuid upon 
 theoccasion. • :■.■■■;■ "m' , ':■'■-..■ y-- ■'■ ■ .» ■ ■ ■/' 
 
 Taking his own words as^ an avowal Phis cdijectiii getting tliopeopW to 
 gether, I helda|a still" hohl that it was a profanation of the Holy Alysteries 
 and in my opi«pi an act of Sacrilege, - ,/ 
 
 * If he had merely sent a general notice of the intciided celebration, leaving 
 people without any solicitude, I should not have 8ai<l a word in coiidemnation; 
 He vi6reover claimed i'n Ids sermon the creilit of l»aving raisftl the congrt- 
 gationjrom a very low estate, and in fact iniplied in pjaiii terms that till he 
 ' came iMy were in ignorance and dark netts. ' ' 7; , 
 
 ., Peeling that he hail manifested an entire miscoiic^ptiou of his imitionand ' 
 hi^duty, and, which was sjtill worse, of the fteinousncss of the sin of whicli 
 those girls had been guilty, Without the slightest suggestion of any regret for 
 the scandal that he ha<l cause.!. ^ wrote thafi coul.l not conscientiously aUo« 
 hmi to take charge of another ^'arish without some mark of my view of hi^ 
 conduct. 
 
 . I wrote him that I couKl not issue another license untir after a short inter- 
 val of suspension, but that if nothing n.ort- came to my knowledge against iiin., 
 I would be ready to grant him a lioenseto Newport before Christnias^trvMJtin-. 
 that he had learned * lesson which might lieneficially aftect In^ future life and" 
 conduct, and then at length he atlmitted tl.»t he ha«l done wrong, but only 
 through an error in judgn.ent, whUe at the same time he proved his u«fitne.sH 
 for any cui-e of souls by treating those heinous oftenges against nwrality as a 
 private offence between hiirt and myself, eutiiely ignoring the scandal and in 
 jury to the Church of virhicl. he is a minister, which ought to have causetl hiu. 
 bitter grief and penitence. ' • 
 
 i He seems incapable of any thing like a serious view either of life or of 
 death, and unless his frivolity and propensfty for joking at all seasons can Ih.- 
 checked he Jfrill never win the iWfwithout which the work of the miinsti-y 
 must needs be^uhfruitful. A r
