How ard MucQneary, the young Episcopal minister of Cauton, from the church for Imreey, the bishop said: "The ac tion tvtw a necessity on the part of the church. When a minister studies the creed of n religious sect and then takes sn (mth to preach such creed, he is bound tb follow out that course. If later he finds that he cannot conscien tiously itrcach such creed and that his belief differs from it, it is bis duty to withdraw from tbe church. Rev. Mao- Qneary was tried by his peers, and it was opposite to that of the Episcopal church. He was given ample tima in which to retract, but this be refused to do, ami be also ref need to recognise my authority a* bishop. The only- step left was to depose him from the church, and this was done lost weeek. This severs his connection with the Episcopal church forever, aud puts a filial end to tbe mat ter." ■ "Do yon think Rev. MacQoeory will seek redress lu the civil courts now?” was naked. "No." said the bishop. "Hecanac- comiiliidi nothing in that way now. Tlie civil court* can give no redrew. He failed to live up to tbe oath of allegiance to tlie church and consequently be was detained. That ends the matter forever. 1 have no doubt tliat Rev. Muetjuenry in sincere to what lie ]ireuche*, and 1 do not think he lias ncted witli a view to cr<iitfng a sensation iu tlie religlun* world ; but creeds are unalterable, mid be certainly should hare withdrawn from tlie church of hi* own free will.” Fire Burning III a Blue.
