LAZY CLERGY.
BISHOP OF CARLISLE'S CHARGES.! The Bishop of Carlisle (Dr. Diggle), in his New Year pastoral, says:— "Two or three of the clergy are approaching the brink of exposure for their habits. Others seem afffiefced with incurable indolence. The less they have to do, the worse they do it. Others are dull and listless. They get through Sunday, but Sunday does not shine through them. "Their ministry is not ministry, but mechanism. They do not visit sympathetically. They take little loving interest in their people, and consequently their people take little loving interest in them, except to write to mc when vacances occur and say how dearly th«y would like to see t'hesm promoted. Their, churches ar-e shut from Sunday to Sunday, and on Sundays they are empty."
