REVIEWS OF PUBLICATIONS. BRITAIN'S EARLY FAITH (by W. H. Anderdon). —It is difficult for a Protestant to estimate the value of a book Mritten from the standpoint of the author of Britain's Early Faith." Indeed, to the Protestant Nonconformist the points which Mr. Anderdon emphasises and minutely discusses are matters of only antiquarian interest. This the author himself recognises in his preface. The following pages," he says, will hardly appeal to one who claims the title of Protestant, meaning by that term the reduction of theological truth to the standard of his personal judgment. Such a one will be little affected by any proof that the Catho- licity of St. Clement of Rome and of Leo XIII. are identical." It is not to Protestants that the author appeals, but to those who, tracing their religious convictions to the revival of half a century ago, which has resulted in creating the term" Anglo- Catholic,' are still kept from advance in the direction of their better instincts by the fallacy, so loudly asserted, that the decrees of Trent and of the Vatican have no true foundation in anti- quity." In short, the author endeavours to prove to those who believe in the Apostolic succession that continuity can only be claimed by the Church of Rome, and that" the supposed identity and continuity between the present Anglican com- munion and the ancient Catholic religion of this island is shown to be an optical delusion, invented and maintained by those whose temporal interests are deeply involved in it." To the ordinary Pro- testant layman the question is of but little per- sonal importance, but it is a subject full of interest to the Welsh historian, as it deals with the origin and growth of Christianity in Britain, when Britain was still Welsh. It is of some importance, also, at a time when Ritualism and so-called Anglo- Catholicism is making so much progress among Welsh Episcopal clergymen, to know on what their pretensions are founded, and whether their claim to an unbroken continuity of priesthood is histori- cally and logically tenable. Mr. Anderdon, in our opinion, has devoted too much time to prove what by this time needs no proof. At a period when the legends of Goffrey of Monmouth were held to be history, when Brutus of Troy was believed to be the ancestor of the Britons, and when implicit credence was placed in the tales of Arthur and the knights of his Round Table it was said that Joseph of Arimathea or someEastern early Christian evangelised Britain. That supposition has long since been shown to be incorrect. Haddan and Stubbs, in their Ecclesi- astical Councils, have long since admitted the groundlessness of the so often alleged Oriental- ism of the early British Church." The ecclesi- astical terms in Welsh are, as Mr. Anderdon says, sufficient to prove that Welsh Christianity was primarily derived from a Latin source. The House of God is not "Church," "Cyriaka" (the Lord's House), as it was called by Greek Christians but "eglwys," "ecclesia," as it was called by Latin Christians. A minister is not "priest" (presbu- teros), but" offeiriad" — again a Latin-derived term. Pilgrim is" pererin" (peregrinus), crea- tion cread," love cariad (caritas), cred," Fydd," &c., are all derived from the Latin. This undoubtedly points to the fact that Celtic Chris- tianity was in the first place of Latin Origin, whether brought here by Bran Fendigaid. the son of Llyr, or by the ambassadors of King Lleurwg or Lleufer of Lan twit-Major, from Pope Eleuth- erius is of little moment to us. The important thing is that we derived our Christianity from Rome. The question now arises, how far was the supremacy of the Bishop of Rome recognised in early times? That the Bishop of Rome was in- vested with a great amount of dignity and power from the earliest times may be taken for granted, and may be easily explained for other reasons than are offered by Catholic his- torians. In the first place, Rome was the Imperial city of the world. At the time the Roman em- pire was nearly commensurate with the whole known world, and of this great empire Rome was the head. Rome was not only the capital of the empire and the seat of the emperor it drew to itself all the wealth, culture, education, and power of the world. We hear in our own time that London is absorbing all the talent and wealth of the provinces, and it is a true proverb, founded on historical facts, that Paris rules France. But Rome was to the empire even more than Paris is to France, or London to England. Ju- venal and other Latin writers are con- stantly deploring the depopulation of the country listricts and the provinces, and the rush to Rome. The Bishop of such a city—even when the Chris- bians were a small obscure sect-wol11d naturally be looked up to with a greater degree of reverence bhan would be accorded to a provincial bishop. The first bishops also seem to have been men of jood social position, and of some influence. Element, the first bishop, is known to belong to a patrician stock, and this, together with the godli- aess and purity of his life, would naturally add to jhe dignity of his position, at a time when most of Ac Christians were slaves and poor men. The episcopal power was at first vague and undefined, md the limits of the see were not certain. As Christianity increased, however, in number and strength, it became necessary to give some sym- netry and organisation to it. The tendency was ;o model the organisation of the Church on the organisation of the State, exactly as in much later bimes, the organisation of the English State was modelled on the organisation of the Catholic Church. Thus the powers of the Bishop of Rome became more and more defined, and more and more extended. His episcopal powers at first would naturally be greater in Italy than it would be in more distant countries and hence we find the early patriotic writers living for the most part in ar near Italy, ascribing to him more powers than were conceded to him in general councils. What was then the meaning of the embassies which the Pope sent to Britain ? As we have said, British Christianity was of Roman origin, and it was but natural that there should be considerable inter- communication between the two. But this did not necessarily mean that the early British Christians conceded to lhe Pope that reverence and obedience which is claimed for him by the Ultra-montanes. Let us take another instance. Northumbria was christianised by missionaries sent by St. Columba from the Celtic monastery in the small island, Iona, on the west coast of Scotland. Henceforth, the monastery of lona was looked up to by the Northumbrian Christians with as much rever- ence and affection a, the Vatican is to-day by good Catholic. Not only that, but the Northumbrian bishops were appointed by the monks of Iona. St. Aidan was sent to Lindisfarne from Iona, and his successors were nominated by the mother church. Mr. Anderdon tries to prove, however, that St. Columba believed in the prerogatives of St. Peter and his successors. Every one knows that there was a. conflict at tho Synod of Whitby in 664 between the supporters of Celtic and Roman Christianity. There was some difference of ceremonial and of discipline between the two churches. The tonsure was different, and Easter was celebrated on different dates. Besides this, the monastic system was different, and Celtic Christianity was more clannish and disorganised than Roman Christianity. Oswin, the king of Northumbria, was uncertain which Church to belong to. Colman, a Scot, the third bishop of Lindisfarne after the death of Finian, zealously strove to establish the principles of his sect. The partisans of Rome were two young thanes, Agilbert and Wilfred. They affirmed that Peter was the rock oil which the Lord had founded His Church, and that to him were committed the keys of Heaven. Has Columba also received such power ?' demanded the king." Colman could not answer in the affirmative. Do both agree that to Peter the Lord has given the keys of Heaven. Both affirmed it." The italics are not ours. They are Mr. Anderdon's, who concludes from that that St. Columba believed in the prerogatives of St. Peter and his successors. But the words quoted only show. that St. Columba believed that the Lord gave St. Peter the keys of Heaven and according to St. Columba, that was a very different thing from a belief in the power of the Bishop of Rome who claimed to be St. Peter's successor. What we wish to imply is that parts of Britain in early times regarded Rome exactly as the Christians of Northumbia regarded Iona. Two other points, raised by Mr. Anderdon, we would like to comment on—the presidency of the Council of Niccea, and the celebrated sixth Canon. Mr Anderdon concludes that because a simple Spanish Bishop, Hosins of Cordova," presided over a council which included the patriarch of Alex- andria and the patriarch of Antioch, that there- fore he presided as the legate of the Bishop of Rome. But, in the first place, it is not absolutely certain that he did preside. In the second place, there is absolutely nothing to show that he had legaliue authority. It is simply conjecture, based on later tradition. Thirdly, Hosius may have presided on account of seniority. We know that twenty years before he had held the second place at the National Spanish Synod of Elvira. He was, therefore, probably the oldest Spanish bishop, and pos- sibly the oldest Christian bishop present at the council. Fourthly, two Roman priets, Vitus and Vincentius, are mentioned as being present. These possibily were legates, but it is strange, if Hosius was also a legate, that it is not mentioned or im- plied during the proceedings. The ether point we would like to discuss is the sixth canon of the .Council of Niccea. It runs as follows :—" Let the ancient customs in Egypt and Lj^bia and Pentapolis Vevail, so that the Bishop of Alexandria possess Authority over all these since this is the custom als with the Bishop of Rome. Likewise also with regard to Antioch." Mr. Anderdon concluded from this that the Patriarchate of Rome over the West is conceded and becomes the model for the patriarchates of Antioch and Alex- andria. This only proves that the authority of the Bishop of Rome was more defined than the authority of bishops of countries where Christi- anity still retained its primitive simplicity, and, if insisted upon, would show that the Pope- though claiming the whole authority given to St. Peter-has only jurisdiction over the Western parts of the world. And if the universality of the Pope's authority is denied, the whole of it is denied. We have no wish to enter into a theo- logical discussion. We have only discussed the historical bearing of the question. One thing Mr. Anderdon. in our opinion, pretty conclusively proves. If you believe continuity at all you must believe in the authority of Rome. A protestant Nonconformist or an evangelical Churchman is not affected by the question. As John Milton said, "The plain truth is that when any of our men. that are wedded to antiquity, come to dispute with a Paptist, and, leaving the Scriptures, put themselves without appeal to the synods and councils, using in the cause of Sion the hired soldiery of revolted Israel—where they give the Romanist one buff, they receive counter bvtffs." It is easv to dispute several points which Catholic writers lay great stress on, e.g., the council of Niccea but if the fathers are to be taken as un- impeachable authorities on early Christian practice and observance, it is hard to see how the supre- macy of Rome can be disputed. One great man said some years ago that there was no choice between Rome and infidelity. We cannot go so far as that. But, to our mind, there seems to be no half-way house between the sturdy Protestantism which reduces theological truth to the standard of personal judgment "and Roman Catholicism. supported by the authority of the Fathers and Ecclesiastical Councils. It remains to be said that Mr. Anderdon's book is very read- able. although it bristles with historical facts and theological subtleties. It is the work of an author of acute mind, great knowledge, and wide re- search, and should be read by all who are interested in the early British Church. There are a few mis. prints which have been corrected. We notice one, however, on the fly-leaf, opposite the preface' which has not been corrected. Myn y gwir ei le it should have been.—[Burns and Oates, 28, Orchard-street, London. W.]

ORIGINAL POETRY. [WRITTEN EXPRESSLY FOR THE SOUTH WALES STAR."] JUDGE NOT HARSHLY. Be careful in your judgment, Be generous, just, and true Your own life is not perfect; Others, perchance, judge you. TIe gentle in your judgment, Think not harsh thoughts and stern Hard thoughts and ways but hinder; Soft, kindly words may turn. Life at its best and brightest Is a trial and test for all; Everyone has some burden, 'Neath which to bow or fall. Then let us to aid be ready, Not pass by on the other side; Forgiving still and forgetting, No matter whate'er betide. Cadoxton. A. M. S. "LET THERE BE LIGHT." Let there be light when our courage forsake us, When our weak footsteps are weary and sad Dispel the great darkness which lingers around us, Lord, in Thy mercy, oh let us be glad. Let there be light when our crosses press on us, Making us oft bear the burden we bear Help with Thy help, and by Thy Word guide us, Teach us to cast upon Thee all our care. Let there be light when our patience goes from us, Show us the path which our footsteps must tread Go Thou before in Thy mercy to guard us, Lead us as little ones stumbling are led. Let there be light when temptations assail us, So that we fail not our armour to see Keep and defend 'til the enemy leaves us In light and in darkness, Lord, keep us near Thee. Cadoxton. A. M. S.
