Excerpt: ... 11 Minister to the Bishop, in writing, as persons whom he deems worthy. And henceforth it becomes the privilege and duty of those who have been confirmed, to partake of the Lord''s Supper, in obedience to the command of Him whose disciples they now profess to be. Thissiu pie statement serves to correct an error into which some have fallen in relation to our Church, who suppose that any persons who shall feel thus disposed, may come forward at any time to our communion, without confering with the Minister or any other person. According to the rubric no one can come to the Lord''s Supper without being previously confirmed, or being ready and desirous so to be, (when opportunity shall offer); and none are allowed to be confirmed who are not recommended by the Minister, who is of course to ground his recommendation on a knowledge and belief of their fitness. Let parents and Ministers then, faithfully perform their part in training up the young in God''s nurture and admonition; let the Ministers pay a special attention to the instruction and preparation of them for the renewal of their baptismal vows in the rite of confirmation; let the Bishops be faithful in their exhortations to parents, Ministers, and children, and we think a more effectual barrier cannot well be raised around the altar of the Lord, than is provided in this part of the discipline of the Church. It is, indeed, to be acknowledged, that in times past, and especially in the land and Church of our forefathers, this rite has, in the manner of its observance, been much abused, so as not to yield the benefits which might reasonably have been expected from it. Very many circumstances contributed to this abuse, to the great grief of the pious; nor is it to be wondered at, that in the earlier times of th...

(note A.) As we have alluded to the maladministration of this rite in the Church of England, it is meet that we should also make mention of that decided and great improvement, which has for many years been rapidly taking place in the religious character of great numbers of the clergy and people of that Church. Such improvement will doubtless be seen in the more holy observance of this rite of Confirmation. Of late years, an unusual number of eminently pious men have been raised to the Episcopal Office, who will we trust direct their attention to the proper execution of this part of the discipline of the Church. Among those unto whom such a responsible office has been confided, the name of William Magee, Suthor of the celebrated treatise on the Atonement, may be mentioned. In his primary charge to the clergy of the Diocese of Raphoe, in Ireland, he announces his determination to attend regularly to this part of his duty, and in the following manner presents what appear to us the true views of the subject. " Baptism, it has become too much the custom. to consider as a form. In its ordinary practice as applied to infants, it seems to the unreflecting, as wanting that which could give it meaning and efficacy, the consciousness and consent of its subject, in the contract which it embraces: so that by those who do not discern its true spiritual character as a sacramental engagement, (which is unhappily the case with a large portion of the community,) it is but too genera'.y viewedeither as a charm or as a ceremony. Now Confirmation tends to remedy this deficiency. It may be conceived as the consummation of baptism. It gives to that rite, in common view, sig- nificancy and substance. And what before appeared as the gratuitous adoption of the unconscious infant Books History~~General Sermon-on-Confirmation-By-William-Meade-D-D-Assistant-Bishop-of-the-Diacess-of-Virginia~~William-Meade General Books LLC This is an OCR edition without illustrations or index.
