In conclusion, I cannot help again recurring to a mistake into which my reverend friend has fallen, and which is throughout implied—in regard to the exclusion of the children of dissent. He may rest assured that nothing is decided with respect to the discipline of the schools, which can possibly be held to be an impediment with any conscientious Dissenter, who desires to place his child there:—no impeding tests or testimonials on entering the school,—no offensive rituals when there. ’Tis one of misfortune’s worst mishaps to have a bad name, and the Churchman is often slandered unwittingly. In the present case we claim our constitutional privilege of being heard before condemnation; and, while we expect not the approbation of the ultra, either within or without the pale of the Establishment, we do expect to meet the cordial sympathy of the good, the benevolent, the pious members of every denomination. A word or two on the subject of my reverend friend’s closing paragraph. Only let whatever is done, be done in the spirit of love and of duty: unhappily the field is wide enough, and too wide for us both. Let each, caring only for the public good, plant his school, not to annoy his associate in the benevolent work, but to select the most destitute district for its operation. To such a school there are, I have no doubt, Churchmen who will be happy to contribute, if conducted on sound principles; and I take my leave of my reverend friend’s letter in the spirit which animated the patriarch of old, when he says, “LET THERE BE NO STRIFE I PRAY THEE BETWEEN ME AND THEE, FOR WE ARE BRETHREN; IS NOT THE WHOLE LAND BEFORE THEE? SEPARATE THYSELF I PRAY THEE FROM ME. IF THOU WILT TAKE THE LEFT HAND, THEN I WILL GO TO THE RIGHT, OR IF THOU DEPART TO THE RIGHT HAND, THEN I WILL GO TO THE LEFT.” _Norwich_, _April_ 7_th_, 1836. * * * * * Norwich: PRINTED BY JOSIAH FLETCHER.
