TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER L'4, 1SGS. THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ALA. BAMA. BISHOP WILMER'S REVIEW OF GENERAL . WOOD'S ORDER. . A Pastoral letter to the Clergy and Laity . oi tne uiocese ol Alabama. TO BE READ lU ALL. TILE CIIL'KCIIES. Deak Hkloyed Brethren : You will have 'seen, in tlie pajiers of the day, the General Orders" from the Coninuincler of the Department of Alabama, in relation to the BLdiop and Clergy of the Diocese of Alabama. In order to satisfy my own mind as to thc scope and intent, of the said "General Or ders" I addressed to the commanding oflicer a note, of which the following is a copy : Mobile, September 22, 18C5. To Majtfr General CItarhs II. 1'tnl, Head ' quarters Dejuirtmcat of' AUiUuna : Dear Sir : I sec in the morning papers of this city an order, issued under :your au thority, forbidding the Bishop of Alabama and his Clergy to "preach or perform Divine Service," etc. The object of this note is to inquire if it is your purpose, by the intervention of mili tary force, to obstruct mebr any of my clergy iu thc performance of ministerial duties. I do not, for amonientrrecognizetheright of any civil or military oflicer to dictate to me hi the performance of my duty in the Church of God. At the same time, I have neither the w ish nor the; power to resist the military force. - The expression, on your part, of a deter mination to oppose the celebration of Divine Service by force of arms, will be regarded by me as equivalent to a forcible ejection frOnl the iHecinets of the Sanctuary. In making the above inquiry I wish clear ly to define my position. .' I have issued a Pastoral (a iwrt only of which is quoted in your "General Orders") to the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese of Alabama. The positions therein stated were taken with great deli!eration, and; I see no cause, and can see no cause, other 'than' thc intervention of a higher Ecclesiastical authority, to reconsider them. Standing upon the provisions of the con stitution which I have"; sworn "faithfully to defend," and also upon the inherent inde pendence, and supremacy of the Church (in, all matters pertaining to her doctrine, "disci pline and worship), to which alone I hold myself answerabje for any alleged violation of her laws and usages, and which alone, as I maintain, has the right to suspend the ex ercise of Episcopal and MinisterialTunctions, J do hrost respectfulh but most firmly, enter my. solemn protest against the .interference expressed in your. "General Orders." ' Will you do nie the favor to iif ply to this at your earliest convenience? Yours, respect fully, f mClIAlU) II. WILMEK, Bishop-of Alabama. In reply, the General commanding stated that he would, if necessary, use military jorce in closing the churches. It will thus apiear that the bishops and clergy of this diocese are arraigned and con demned before the community in which they reside, as "disloyal and factious persons, and that, without a trial)r citation, even before a military commission, they are ordered to be suspended from ministerial functions;, and that they arc thus prevented, by military force, from celebrating divine service in their churches. It docs not become me to enter into any argument with the military authorities upon thc 'merits 'ot the case. It may fairlytln; pre sumed that in all things pertaining to the "honor of the Church,"' her Bishops and clergy are better infonncd,,and more! deeply concerned, than all other persons. Besides, I could not enter into the discussion of this question with . any secular power, without appearing t recognize its right to make in quisition into matters ecclesiastical. For, sis I showed in my first Pastoral, 'the obligation to pray at all is a matter of religious, and not of political origin. And it is obvious, at the first-glance, that if the secular author ity be allowed to prescribe, in one iota, in regard to the worship of thc Church, there is no assignable limit to its possible usurpa tions of prerogative. It does become mc, however, to Jay this matter !cfore you4-the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese and you have a right to know from your Bishop, how the case stands in its ecclesiastical aspects, tmd to seek' guidance and -counsel from him in the present emer gency. ' ' A brief, exhibition of the, Ecclesiastical Status of the Diocese of Alaliaiha. w ill enable you, at a glance, to detect the misapprehen sion of facts under which the " General Or ders" referred to were dictated ;' and will serve to vindicate you, as Cliurchmcn, in pursuing thc course of action recommended in this Pastoral. The " Orders " charge us with a violation of the Canons of the Church and from this alleged violation, they argue an an'mun; upon the strength of which they are issued. Now, to say nothing of the incongruity in volved in such a procedure 'on the part of the 3Iilitary Authorities toward thc Church, it will be sufficient for my present purpose to state and that rfor your satisfaction that there is no Canon of the Church of which we are members that requires us to t use the Prayer " ordered." On the contrary, the re quirement of the u General Council," (as yet unrepealed, because there lias been no recent session of that Body,) is to use another Pray er, which Prayer has ceased of necessity. Nowv the Diocese of Alabama is a couqo nent part of the General Council," and I, as Bishop of the Diocese, have, never made any t Declaration of Conformity," save tliat which binds me to Uie olscrvancc of tlie Con stitution and Canons of the said General CounciL" , Thus it will appears that, in ordering the resumption of the Prayer for the President of the United States and all in civil authori ty," (upon tbi restoration of civil authority,) I was anticipating thc probable action of the u General Council," and exercuins a very questionable power but justifiable, as 1 thought, because done with the view ot brinffimr the diocese, as soon as possible, into .entire harmony, in poinioi worsnip,wrun tne -J . a- .. f.i .1. . Church generauy. This condition of things is well understood by all well ' informed 1 rv churchmen, but there may be many among you who need thc information given, i Tlie asxrvc recited fact were not, it may ls rca sonably presumed, before the mind of thc military authorities; and thc present ca-tc stands, therefore, as one among many illustrations of tlie injustice which other mat m sometimes be done, when parties art con- demned, without trial, by a tribunal unac quainted witli all' the facts embrace!!, and with the complex bearing of those facts to say nothing of thc serious congruences likely to .result fron the assumption of jurisdiction in matters ecclesiastical. . It would le Kupcrfluoua to go at length into the aruument with tou. Tlie anrumcnt is sufficiently stated in my Pastoral of) June 20. Tlie course of events ha. as I conceive, amply justified the )xsit ions then ju main tained. Suffice it to say, that thc Church has, in her 37th article, fully declared her self in regard to the obedience which U duo from her children to' the 'Civil Authority "legitimately ami regularly constitutctl : ' and has, as 1 think, framed the particular Prayer in question with cfpcctaland marked reference to thc Civil Authorities dcscriUil in her articles. She teaches, frm j I loly Scripture, thc duty of obedience the iowers that le, or all kinds whatever, and she prays in her Litany and elsewhere, for all "Christian Rulers and Magistrates," but this particular Prayer, as its history will show, was specially 'prepared fop, aJul iy therefore only applicable to the kind of authority dcscrilcd in her article vhich reads as follows : . ... I . Otlie Power of the Cicil Magistrate (Aft. HI.) " The iwwerof the Civil Magistrate cx- tendeth to all men, as well Clergy as Laity, in all things temporal ; but hath no author ity in things purely spiritual. Aiul wj Imld it to Ihj the ilutViot all proftHMira .if the (iosjicl, to'psiy respectful olicilience jti the Civil Authority iVgularly and legitii)nt ly constitutcti. ' - . I have lnxn. anxiously l(Mkiug for iluch a restoration of the Civil Authority as efistel when the prayer in question was first estab lislicd by thc'Church. The inx'sent attitude of affairs, when a Bishop sind his Clergy are counselled as to their official duty, anwl arc ordered to be suspended from their function y the military authorities, affonls the jijost ample proof whatever doubts may have hitherto existeel thsit civil uuthorily i not retUoml to the State of Alabauui, uud that tlie Constitution of the countryj . uhi( h guarantees to all citi.cnsa " free cxj ix im' of i religion," is not in force as, the Civil Iiw supreme. ;. . It we arc citizens indeed, we throiv our selves upon the protection of that Const! In lion wiih ii u u;iu nnrii ' laiuiiiiuy io lie- end. . It we are hot citizens i in lord, then tiere can le no propriety in" our using the rayer in qucsuon. . . The issue raised is not one of loyalty. I have, in my pastoral, counseled you to In? loyal, and to take, in good faith, the path of Allegiance, and have ct you the example, by taking it myself. No one can fairly j charge disloyalty upon us who . have taken the re quired test, and live daily in olcdiencc to the law. lor is tne issue one oi personal feelincf towards him who fills the Presiden tial chair for the Church would fain that every ond might, through God's Grace and Holy Spirit attain "unto everlasting joy and elicity." The Church uses thc "Prayer for the President," not so much as a person, as an impersonation I of the Civil Authority. The use Of the Prayer, under the present con dition of thiugs, involves the pointlof con- gruity -and fitness; and is, therefore, a ques tion for Ecclesiastical discretion., j Should the " General Council," of which the Diocese of Alabama is a component part. ceased of necessity, then, from that tinic forth. mill 1 illl T A. laitl AAA 14V JK !& t I1U1LII S(Srf the otdcnng ot the Council would le decis ive as the supreme law of thc Churches con stituting said Council. Or, should the Gen eral Council be dissolved, and thc Diiocescof Alalnuna come - again into Union vvith the Gcncrsd Convention, then the ruling of that Inxly, in the premises, would !c eiually de cisive. But, let it not be said that the Church in Alabama looked to any other than an Ecclesiastical Authority for guidance in worship, or that she was ever frightened froni " her propriety by the dictation or menace of any Secular Power, Civil or Military. ' Let the Clergy await official notification from thc Ecclesiastical Authority; for in this way only can unilonmty ami uannony - : . C Ihj prc- served. . . The case stands thus : In thc exercise of my Episcopal discretion. to which I am left by the aliscnce of any au thoritative Church legislation,! have decided that "Thc Prayer" is inapplicable to the existing condition of things. On thc other hand the Military Authorities issue Orders" that it shall le used at once, and that all churches shall lc closed until we accede to thc demand.. Thus the real issue before uh is this : 'Shsdl the Secular or thc Ecclesiasti cal iowcr regulate the worship of the Church? In this conflict of powers both 44 ordained of God " in their respective spheres the Church .labors, for . thc moment, under se rious disadvantages ; for we have neither the w ish nor the power to oppose force by force. But we must be careful to make it evident that, while we yield to military force, in the matter of closing our houses of worship, we concede nothing Of Church Prerogative to Secular Authority, civil or military. A higher than earthly "Order" comes in here to claim and control our obedience. The Prin cipalities of this world can neither ordain the clergy -nor sispcnd them. In matters lertaining" to IJis Kingdom, we must, in ac cordance foith the teaching of an Apostle, "obey God rather than mcn.,, .Think, for a moment, that an officer of thc army under takes to do, in reganl to thc Church by shutting up the sanctuaries of a whole Dio cese what 44 the General Council " of said Church would not dare to do. i I counsel you, I jcloved brethren of llu Clergy and Laity rin the name of God, ami for the honor of His Church to stand up for and maintain, at whatever cost, the real issue now before us. Be assured that man has no nobler mission than to defend, and if need be, to suffer for the right.
