Excerpt from An Epistle Congratulatory to the Right Reverend the Bishops of the Episcopal Court at Camden: From Ulric Von H???tten Distressing doubts obscured to the eye of flesh the Spiritual graces of your brother of New Jersey. Carnal minded laymen ventured to judge him by the rules pre vailing among men of this world. Three Bishops were found who yielded to their importunities, and presented him for trial by the rule of vulgar m01als. You, penetrated with the genuine spirit of apostolic churchman ship, could see nothing but purity and uprightness where they saw crimes; and finding no fault in the man, you bade him go, with out day. That is a precedent, Right Rev. Fathers, not soon nor easily to be forgotten. It'will settle for centuries the law of your Church. It will forever illustrate the morals of the Church in the middle of the nineteenth century. It throws no small light on the relation between episcopal prerogative and episcopal morals. It reveals some of the most recondite qualities and tendencies of the episcopal order - which yet a careless eye might overlook, or a cursory glance fail to catch or comprehend.
