Excerpt from The Reserve Question, or a Word for the Church, by One of Its Clergy But how was this hostility met by them Did they return evil for evil, or railing for railing? Did they drag these unhallowed subjects into the House of their God and make the pulpit the arena of angry feeling and bitter contention? Did they pour into their people's ears, in their pastoral visits or their social parties, the language of just recrimination or indignant retort? Or did they (to borrow a phrase from the world's vocabulary) endeavour to shew up their church's adversaries in their due coloring and proportions? N o Taught by the safe and imperative word of their god, the rising feelings of indignation were checked and the outraged consciousness of rectitude thus assailed, which was starting up into the posture of defiance and retaliation, was taught to bow before the sense of duty. Instead therefore of attempting to avenge themselves, they quietly ga've place unto wrath. Instead of being overcome of evil, they endeavoured to overcome evil with good. For the Servant of the Lord - the man who would outlive opposition, and by patient endurance in well doing, would put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. The Servant of the Lord must not strive, but be gentle unto all men in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves: if god peradventure give them re pentance to the acknowledgement of the truth.

Excerpt from The Clergy Reserve Question in Canada Protestant Clergy. Why the term Protestant was here employed, is explained by the fact that the tithes vand endowments in the sister province existed entirely for the support of a Roma's]; clergy. The adoption of the term Protestant in this case would render more clear the object and necessity of such an appropriation of lands for religious purposes. And if the term Protestant was liable to misconstruction, as seeming to comprehend other religious bodies than the National Church, doubt would be removed by the annexation of the word Clergy which, according to all existing legal usage, could only be felt to apply to the ministers of the Established Church of England.
