Excerpt from The Pillars of the Church of England; Or, Are Intemperance and Ignorance, Bigotry and Infallibility, Church Rates and Corn Laws, Essential to the Existence of the Establishment?: Together With a Supplement to a Speech Delivered by the Rev. R. MC. Ghee, at the Anniversary of the Bath Protestant Association 1. - Is Intemperance one of the pillars of the Church of England? - The Protestants of this country have long ascribed the intemperance and poverty of Ireland to the baneful influence of Popery. The Irish have recently forsaken their whiskey, and cast off their rags; and they are rapidly becoming sober and industrious. One would think that Protestants would be delighted with the change; but, from a speech delivered by the Rev. Hugh Stowell, at a recent meeting of the Protestant Reformation Society, we find it otherwise. Amidst the cheers of the Clergy and of the large assembly of Protestants, he says: "I look upon the temperance rally round father Mathew as a dark and ominous circumstance; I have not forgotten that there was just such a rallying in favour of temperance which ushered in the dark and fearful rebellion. I have not forgotten that they dare not trust an Irishman drunk with their dark secrets; and, therefore, they will pledge him to sobriety. I fear more that hush that precedes the burst of the thundercloud than I fear the thunders peal and the lightning´s flash. I am, therefore, deeply distrustful of the present state of Ireland." It appears then that the teetotal advocate, Hugh Stowell, is alarmed at teetotal ism when a Catholic is the promoter of it! When Ireland reels with drunkenness, and bleeds with faction fights, Popery is blamed for the horrid uproar; but Ireland quiet and sober is mare alarming still, for Popery has done it all! How different is this spirit when compared with that of the Apostle Paul! These are his words, - "Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife, and some also of good will; the one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds; - what then; whether in pretence or truth, Christ is preached, and I therein rejoice; yea, and will rejoice."
