“Christ has entered into His kingdom, and His saints are reigning with Him. Which of them shall be nearest to Him in glory as once in suffering, but her through whom He joined our human nature to Deity itself? The anguish over, the grace and virtue crowned, the glory never to pass away; surely, well may we again call the Queen of Heaven, ‘Blessed among women!’ and more than ever trusting in the power of her intercession, more than ever call on her, ‘Holy Mary, mother of God! pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of death.’”—P. 14. SECOND AND FOURTH OF THE FIVE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES. “2d. The scourging of our Blessed Lord, at the pillar by soldiers, in Pilate’s house; the number of stripes they gave him being above five thousand. “4th. The carrying of the Cross; in which our Lord Jesus Christ, being sentenced to die, bears with most amazing patience the cross which is laid upon Him for His greater torment and ignominy, meeting His blessed mother by the way.” FOURTH AND FIFTH OF THE FIVE GLORIOUS MYSTERIES. “4th. The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin; in which after her death, twelve years after the Resurrection, she is assumed into heaven by her Divine Son accompanied by the holy angels. “5th. The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin; in which, amid the great jubilee and exultation of the whole court of heaven, and to the particular glory of all the saints, she is crowned by her Son with the brightest diadem of glory.”—P. 16. Extracts from a tract, entitled, “_Our Parish Churches as they were and as they are_. 1. _Old stones tell tales_.” “I declare, it seems to me that the very idea of worship has almost died out in England. Do you think that if people really felt they were speaking to Almighty God, they would sit at their ease, or look over a book, and never do more? Church of Englandism has such a _comfortable_ look about it; it is the religion of people well to do in the world, and have too much business to transact to turn their minds thoroughly to anything else. It is a _one day a week_ religion. Every thing about it is so formal, so decent, so sober, so proper and respectable. It would look so odd to seem in earnest; to be on your knees in prayer before so many well-dressed people, as though you had a soul to be saved. Church of Englandism is such a human thing; it smacks so much of the world and of ‘good society.’ It makes a poor man feel awkward, just as he does when he finds himself in a gentleman’s drawing-room.”—P. 10.
