THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE,

For SEPTEMBER, 1810.

Mr. URBAN,
OBSERVE, in p. 16, a

Aug. 24.

will find, that in most cases, the dis

petulant letter (signed somewhat continuance of these Services has

which complaint is made of the omission of Prayers on week-days, in all or most of the London Churches, and that even in Passion-week the Churches are shut. The writer, it seems, with a friend of his who was incredulous of the fact, set out on Ascension-day, to ascertain its truth. At the first Church they went to," the Metropolitan Church, St. Mary le Bow," they were told "there would be no service." The information, doubtless, was correct. But, on farther enquiry, it would have appeared, that there had been Service performed there on that very morn` ing, though at an hour of which these gentlemen might not be aware; it being an antient custom at this Church to have divine service performed, and the Holy Sacrament administered, on Saints'-days and other Festivals, at Eight o'clock in the morning. The repetition therefore of the Morningservice, at the usual hour of Eleven, does not seem necessary; nor has it ever (I believe) been practised. These gentlemen might also have learnt, that in Passion-week the Service is here constantly performed at the usual hour; and also that during Lent there is Divine Service and a Sermon (the Preachers being appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury) on every Thursday at Eleven o'clock; not to mention several other days in the year when the Church is open for public worship. Thus far may suffice to set your Correspondent right respecting the Church of St. Mary le Bow. With re-pect to the other Churches which he mentions, and the almost universal omission of weekly prayers throughout the city,

arisen from neglect on the part of the people, rather than of the Clergy and that Churches have been shut up, merely because no Congregations

66

could be found to attend them. If
certain Methodist teachers succeed
better in drawing Congregations on
week-days, it is probably more for
the sake of the Pulpit than the Read-
ing-desk; and because an itching
ear" operates as a more powerful sti
mulus than the pure spirit of devotion,
which alone can be gratified by fre-
quenting the daily Service of the
Church, unaccompanied with Pulpit
Oratory.
Oratory. This worthy gentleman
may therefore de well to consider,
whether the Methodists may not con-
tribute, in some degree, to the general
tailure in this exercise of Christian
piety, by drawing off the attention of
the publick from Praying to Preach-
ing. However that may be, it is
not surely quite candid, to assume
that the indolence of the Clergy is the
cause of this omission, rather than
the indifference ad indevotion of
those who should form their Congre
gations. When it shall appear that
any desire is expressed on the part of
the Parishioners to revive the custom
of weekly Prayers, it will be time
enough to reproach the Clergy on
this score. But as I never yet heard
of any such proposition being made,
so I am firmly persuaded, that when-
ever it shall be made, it will. eet
with as ready and cheerful an ac-
ceptance as this ze tous Correspond-
ent can desire.
A CITY RECTOR.
