THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

TO THE EDITOR.

• hei? is no greaf; amount of self-denial in the We of the Archbishop of Canterbury, seat by "M. D. 0." Th 3 sum given to chanties is out of his abundance. It doss not pi-ovent him dreesins in flue linen, farinc sumptuously, surrounded by troops of servants every day at Lambeth Palace. In the parish o£ Lambath there are numbers of people living in alleys like mid beasis, huddled together in insanitary buildings, who rise in the morn™ notknowmg where their food for the day is to comelrom Forßu«h as these Prior Voughan is eloquently; pleading in Australia for money to raise the poor of London out of their poverty and let a little sunshine into their lives In the ascetic life of a London cardinal wo trad a noble example of one eschewing all luxuries, and whose.life was spent ainongat the dock.Ubourers and workers of that citvf The Abbe de Broglie, born ib. the purple, renounced his high rank, rented'a humble dwelling in Paris, and devoted his great wealth in deeds of chanty. There was a German Lutheran parson m Victoria whose name was a household word He had a small ruo, on whicu be built a church andschoolhouae and founderl a small German settlement. After paying incidents! expenses, all the profits were devoted to cimrch work and charity. He wore1 the same clothes and lived on the same food at. his workmen He took his coat off his.bsck once and gave it to a destitute swagger. The want of sympathy with the needs and struggles oftha masses must eventuate in the Church of Bnglaad-.lqsißg'fcrotrod-; and hence the success of General Booth in undertaking ,the work which this church neglects, and which in England is essentially the church of the aristocracy.—l am, &c,, Dunedin, July 13
