This disorder is an inveterate one. It is not a distcalpir of the bead, but it is a disease of the heart. The hearts of numbers of the priesthood do not enter into the services of the church to which -they belong ; they are mere organs, and not actors. Prolcssionality is the master vice of ecclesiastics. • The phrase of " doing duty," which is too constantly in their mouths, is literally most descriptive yr their character.
