achievements are but successive stages of one great enterprise. If we are to struggle for the Establishment-a fact concerning which Dr. Foster and Mr. Bright leave us in no uncertainty-we must struggle from the first. To wait till the operations of our enemies are more advanced, and they are able, in bidding for the support of secular allies, to point to one great success as a gage and earnest of coming triumph, is to fight at fearful disadvantage. If we mean to resist at all, we must resist now. The Church is politically lost, if we wait to fight her battle till confiscation has crippled her means of influence, and the belief in her impending fall has transferred the unstable devotion of politicians to her foes.
By this generation that battle, for weal or woe, will be decided. If Churchmen of the present day should be guilty of the weakness of purchasing an ignominious and transient ease by concessions which will only make their enemies more powerful and more rapacious, they cannot expect their sons to fight more sturdily than themselves. They will have handed down to the Church of the next generation the inheritance of a base example and a hopeless cause, and they cannot presume that these will breathe into her a courage to which they themselves have been too languid to aspire. The powerful reaction we have witnessed, while it justifies the most sanguine hopes, fearfully increases our responsibilities. It places in our hands, it stakes upon the continued earnestness of our efforts, an issue upon which the whole future of the Established Church, and therefore in a great degree the future of Christianity in England, may depend. The duty of unflagging exertion at such a crisis presses in a peculiar manner upon the clergy. Their union and activity have produced this reaction, and they alone can maintain its force; and they are specially bound to guard with no laggard zeal the fabrics which are the heirlooms of a long line of ancestors to them. There is no power in the State strong enough to withstand them, if they act together with perseverance and with vigour. There is no power in the State strong enough to save them, if they sit by with folded hands and indolent complaints. With them it now chiefly lies to decide whether this generation is to witness the first stone removed from the foundations of the Established Church; or whether this harassing controversy shall be brought to a triumphant close, and banished for ever from the battlefield of politics.
