There is, of course, no power in our Synod to enforce on reluctant members of the church any of its regulations. These regulations are simply the deliberate expression of the mind of the Diocesan Church, when it has met together to consult under the guidance of God's Holy Spirit, for the wel fare of the diocese, and its several parts; but as such they are certainly of an authority which all the members of the Chun* are bound to respect, whether bishops, clergy, or people, and until they are modified or with drawn by the body which enacted them, it is the duty of us all to comply with them, even though such compliance should be to our own hindrance; and more especially so when the regulations bear upon the interests of others. But I will not dwell any longer on this subject. I will onlj add that if our meetings in Synod are to be effectual in promoting the great objects for which it is assembled, we must not only lay aside in our consultations all private interests and prejudices, but loyally endeavour also to carry out the de cisions of Synod, though they may not be altogether in accordance with our own views. In the weighty words of >t. Peter, "Wemust all of us be subject one to another," And let us try also to realize more and more our oneness in Christ, and act as one body. There aregreatadvantages.nodoubt.in the parochial system, under which a diocese is divided into separate districts, each with its own clergyman, church, and congregation; but the several divisions may be isolated thereby too much from each other, and parishes and individuals may learn to look too much on their own things, and in their eagerness to forward them overlook the things of others. But we cannot work the work to which we have been called if we thus aet apart one from another, either parochially or indivi dually. The chiefest blessings of Christ are promised to His people working together in union, and any disturbance of this union, whether it he caused by a want of love and cordial co-operation, or by choosing ways of Dur own, in preference to those which have been approved of by the Church as repre sented in its Synod, must lead to a diminu iion, if not to a forfeiture, of these blessings.
