Presiding Bishop of the Church and President of the National Council
Congress Preacher

The purpose of this Centenary Congress is to give thanks to Almighty God for the Catholic Revival in the Episcopal Church and throughout the Anglican Communion, to bear witness before the world to the faith and worship of the Church, and to seek together God's grace and guidance, that his Kingdom may come and His will be done on earth as in heaven.


 

Foreword

The year of grace, 1933, marks an epoch in the history of Anglican Christianity. What is meant by the word epoch? Webster defines it as "a point of time from which succeeding years are numbered." If, then, we recognize this year as an epoch in our religious history, it means that it is a time of new beginnings, of renewed consecration to a great cause, a new obligation of ourselves, body and soul, to the work of forwarding the Faith of our Lord Christ.

But every such period of time has, of necessity, its roots in the past. We are what we are, we are able to go on to fresh labours and conquests, because of what has gone before. One hundred years ago on July 14, John Keble preached in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford, a sermon at the opening of the Assize courts, taking as his subject the peril of National Apostacy from God. This has been always regarded as the beginning of the Oxford Revival. In the United States, as Dr. Hardy has shown in his brochure, "The History of the Catholic Revival in America," the beginning of the Movement antedated this event in England, but the impulse received from the Mother-Church seems to have been necessary in order to make the Movement really move, and we are well content to join with our English brethren in dating the practical start of the Catholic revival from that memorable July day at Oxford.

In every part of the world during this present year there have been celebrations of this hundredth anniversary of the greatest religious awakening the western Church has known in many centuries. We have seen the Anglo-Catholic Congress in London, [7/8] with the many allied celebrations in every part of Great Britain. In South Africa and Australia, and in every portion of the far-flung Anglican world, men of all types of Churchmanship have united in honouring the fathers of the Oxford Movement. In this commemoration, barriers across which men have fought for a century have been swept away, and every school of religious thought now conspires to praise those who a generation ago were persecuted, and hunted from parish to parish.

It is thankworthy that those who were martyrs within the memory of many living men, have at last come into their own. But as the Principal of Cuddesdon Theological College points out in a recent essay, there is another side to the matter. The "guarded benedictions" which are now pronounced upon the Fathers of the Catholic Revival, are possible because many have learned, unhappily, to tolerate that which they believe to be denials of the pure Gospel of Christ, and many who have no spiritual kinship with the Movement are ready to praise it because they think, after all, the faith does not matter. However, it often happens with human nature that what it tolerates it learns to love. Whether the thing be good or evil, men "first endure, then pity, then embrace." God the Holy Spirit, without doubt, often works in this way to bring men to a knowledge of the truth.

But, unfortunately, in certain quarters Catholics are expected to take a like attitude, and we are asked to condone what we believe to be denials of the faith. We are asked to say that, after all, the Modernist has his contribution to make, as has also the Evangelical. We gladly agree to this; there never has been any form of error that did not contain some modicum of truth which could [8/9] be rescued from its environment and placed in the right setting. But we are told that we should be liberal, and take the position that the three "parties" have an equal place in the Catholic Church, each having a contribution to make; but, as Principal Graham points out, "We cannot accept the partition theory which has been outlined. For Catholicism is not an element in Christianity: rather it is Christianity at its richest and fullest. There is no element of positive value, in any truly Christian school of thought, which is alien to Catholicism and disqualified from finding a place in Catholic thought and life . . . . Catholicism necessarily includes all the positive values . . . . but it sets them in a fuller context and so conserves them in a more just proportion."*

I have seen nowhere a saner or truer definition of what the Movement is "in the eyes of those who are proud to own allegiance to it" than that given by Principal Graham, and in our American centennial celebration of the launching of this great work of Catholic revival, we would do well to keep it in mind. He says: "They regard it not merely as a pillar of ancient tradition, however valuable, not merely as a teacher of the art of public worship, but as a truly Catholic revival; a presentation of the Christian Faith and Life in its fulness--a fulness which combines things old and new, and leaves room for further progress under the guidance of the Spirit of truth." If we are really Catholics, we shall not have to levy tribute on anything save the traditional Catholic interpretation of Christian Truth, adapting it logically and legitimately to the changing needs of the times. Just because the Faith and practice of the Church is Catholic, it must, of necessity, embrace all truth.

[10] Realizing, then, what our heritage is, and how that heritage lays upon us a solemn duty as to the future, let us go back to our consideration of the word epoch,--"a point of time from which succeeding years are numbered." This anniversary is not an occasion for self-congratulation, not a time for the mere contemplation of past victories in the fruits of which we rejoice, but rather is it preeminently an opportunity for a deeper consecration of our energies to the setting forth of the Faith once delivered to the saints; for a renewed proclamation of war against all that would assault and hurt the souls of men, a building up of ourselves and all those whom we can influence, in our most holy Faith. It is time for the organization of new campaigns, in order that those who come after us may enter into our labours as we have entered into labours of those who went before. The year 1833 marked an epoch; we date our blessings in the Church from it. Will Catholics a hundred years from now look back to this year as to a new epoch, one from which they can date the multiplied blessings which they will enjoy because we have been faithful and true?

In this warfare there is no possibility of failure provided we yield ourselves whole-heartedly to the guiding of Him who dwells and works within us in the plentitude of His omnipotence. When a century ago Mr. Keble said in his historic sermon that he who devoted himself to the cause of the apostolic Church "would sooner or later be on the winning side, and the victory would be complete, universal and eternal," he was stating nothing new or startling. It was a natural and inescapable truth. Yielding ourselves to His Spirit, [11/12] failure will be impossible, unless Satan be stronger than God.

Processional--St. Patrick's Breastplate

I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three.
I bind this day to me forever,

By power of faith, Christ's incarnation;
His baptism in Jordan River;
His death on Cross for my salvation;
His bursting from the spiced tomb;
His riding up the heavenly way;
His coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.

I bind unto myself the power
Of the great love of Cherubim;
The sweet 'Well done' in judgment hour;
The service of the Seraphim,
Confessors' faith, Apostles' word,
The Patriarchs' prayers, the Prophets' scrolls,
All good deeds done unto the Lord,
And purity of virgin souls.

I bind unto myself today
The virtues of the starlit heaven,
The glorious sun's life giving ray,
The whiteness of the moon at even,
The flashing of the lightning free,
The whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
The stable earth, the deep salt sea,
Around the old eternal rocks.

I bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need:
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, His shield to ward;
The word of God to give me speech,

His heavenly hosts to be my guard.
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the Name,
The strong Name of the Trinity;
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One, and One in Three.
Of whom all nature bath creation;
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
Salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen.

Sequence Hymn

For all the Saints who from their labours rest
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O Jesu, be for ever blest, Alleluia!

Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou in the darkness drear their one true Light.

O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and hold,
Fight as the Saints who nobly fought of old,
And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.

O blest communion! fellowship devine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.

And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long;
Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.

The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest;
Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest.

But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The Saints triumphant rise in bright array:
The King of glory passes on His way.

From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host.
Singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Concluding Hymn

Ye watchers and ye holy ones,
Bright seraphs, cherubim, and thrones,
Raise the glad strain, Alleluia!
Cry out, dominions, princedoms, powers,
Virtues, archangels, angels' choirs,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

O higher than the cherubim,
More glorious than the seraphim,
Lead their praises, Alleluia!
Thou bearer of the eternal Word,
Most gracious, magnify the Lord,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Respond, ye souls in endless rest,
Ye patriarchs and prophets blest,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Ye holy twelve, ye martyrs strong,
All saints triumphant, raise the song,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

O friends, in gladness let us sing,
Supernal anthems echoing,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

This Centenary Congress is but a stepping stone. The Congress Movement goes on continuously. The advance of our work for the Catholic Revival in 1934 waits only upon the will of our people: First your prayers and then such support as you can give.

Historical Exhibits

On the Congress Floor at the Bellevue-Stratford adjacent to the Hall.

Yale University Library has lent to the Congress its Centenary exhibit in commemoration of the inception of the Oxford Movement and of the Catholic Revival. This large collection has been on display in the Rare Book room in the Sterling Memorial Library of Yale University.

Because of the extent of this material it has been thought best to limit the display to the events of the first twelve years, 1833-1845.

Keble College, Oxford has on display some of its memorabilia of the Movement.

A collection of Americana connected with the Catholic Revival arranged by the Reverend George D. Richardson, D.D.

Other historical material gathered from various sources.

EXHIBITS FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE

On the same floor are many other interesting exhibits of Vestments, Ecclesiastical Art, Books and Church Furnishings.

Extra-Congress Activities

Thinking that many of the visitors to the Congress will wish to avail themselves of the opportunity to visit the more important points of interest a pamphlet entitled "Glimpses of Philadelphia" published by the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce will accompany each handbook upon request. A map of Philadelphia, together with directions for reaching various buildings will also be furnished thru the courtesy of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company. As the activities of the Congress will preclude visiting many of the points of interest the Committee suggests the following:

INDEPENDENCE SQUARE

and its neighborhood, which includes Independence Hall, in which the Declaration of Independence was signed, and which now houses the Liberty Bell, together with its adjoining buildings, Congress Hall, and Old City Hall; Carpenters Hall, meeting place of the Continental Congress.

The Grave of Benjamin Franklin in Christ Church Cemetery.

The Betsy Ross House, where the first American Flag was made.

Christ Church, the first part of which was built in 1695, where Washington, Franklin, and many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence worshipped.

Gloria Dei (Old Swedes Church) built in 1700.

St. Peter's Church--completed in 1761.

Gloria Dei and St. Peters are regularly open from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M. and Dr. Washburn, Rector of Christ Church, has arranged to have it open until 5 P. M. on Wednesday and Thursday, October 25 and 26.

PENNSYLVANIA MUSEUM

Thru the courtesy of Mr. Stodgell Stokes, President of the Pennsylvania Museum, the Director and his assistants will take pleasure in acting as guides to members of the Congress on Wednesday morning, October 25, from 10 A. M. until 1 P. M.

Transportation by bus will be available from the Bellevue-Stratford to the Museum.

VALLEY FORGE

As it will be impossible for those attending Congress to see Valley Forge during the days on which the Congress is in session, arrangements have been made for a trip to Valley Forge on Friday, October 27, the day following the closing of the Congress. Busses will leave the Bellevue-Stratford at 9:30 in the morning going by way of Fairmount Park and Montgomery Pike stopping at Bryn Mawr College, the Church of the Good Shepherd at Rosemont, and Old St. Davids Church, proceeding thence to Valley Forge, where luncheon may be had (50c). Sufficient time will be allowed to see the Memorial Chapel and the many points of interest, including Washington's Headquarters. As one of the most notable shrines in the country it is hoped that many of those attending the Congress will be able to remain the extra day to take advantage of this. The cost of the trip will be $1.00 per person.

If there is sufficient time, visitors are urged to see the historic houses in Fairmount Park, especially Mount Pleasant purchased by Benedict Arnold, for his wife, Peggy Shippen.

Further information regarding historic sites and points of general interest will be found in the folder "Glimpses of Philadelphia", or may be obtained from the information desk.

CLUBS

The following Clubs have extended their privileges to the members of the Congress:

Overbrook Gold Club--which is 15 minutes by train from Broad Street Station. Greens Fees--$2.00

In addition to this the following City clubs:

He was born in Boston and educated at Harvard College, and after having been ordained priest founded the Order of the Holy Cross, making his profession in 1884. In this connection it is interesting to note that Father Huntington was the first priest to have been professed by an Anglican Bishop since the Reformation.

His writings also have been a guide to many souls throughout the past fifty years

The rare occasions when he can be persuaded to leave academic fields. The clearness of his reasoning and the persuasivness of his presentation give him an eager and attentive hearing.

He has just completed a successful three years as vice-chancellor of his university where he also serves as chairman of the appointments board. Born in 1882, Mr. Spens was educated at Rugby and King's College, Cambridge.

He was rector for 25 years of St. Luke's, Evanston where he built up a devoted congregation the largest in the diocese. His abilities as preacher and speaker are in constant demand from coast to coast. His work among college men and women has been effective in keeping them awake to the essentially spiritual constitution of the universe.

Bishop Stewart is also a member of the National Council of the church.

This handbook would not be complete without mention of the two former Chairmen of the Congress Committee.

Dr. Edmunds who succeeded him is now Editor of the American Church Monthly and a life member of the Central Conference.


The Congress Movement In England

A MESSAGE FROM
THE ANGLO-CATHOLIC CONGRESS
COMMITTEE, LONDON

Now that the Centenary Congress is over we are settling down to a consideration of all our future plans.

The old and tried works of the Committee have amply proved their worth and there is no intention of alteration in the main lines of action.

The Fiery Cross Association will continue to organize continuous intercession.

The Catholic Literature Association will continue to issue devotional and liturgical literature, but intends to give attention to the need for apologetics.

[52] The Pilgrimage Association is busy with plans for visitors to Oberammergau, and is also arranging a "steerage" pilgrimage to Jerusalem at the cheapest possible rates.

The Overseas Association, the Secretary of which (The Rev. H. N. V. Tonks) is to be found at the Catholic Literature Association stall at this Congress, is only held up from large developments of work on its present lines by lack of funds.

The Consciences of English people have really been awakened in the last few years by the evils of overcrowding in our slum areas, so that the new Housing Association has been formed, to aid the Archbishops in their endeavour to arouse Church people to this shame and scandal.

Again, the Congress has led to a movement among the young people, who are forming themselves into a Seven Years Association.

In general, it is not proposed to hold a great Congress in London for a number of years, although no doubt similar gatherings will be held in other centres.

Although there is to be no such gathering in London, we hope the International Committee formed at the Albert Hall will be able to arrange for an International Conference of priests before many years have passed.

We hope and pray for an International Catholic movement in the English speaking world, and we look to the Philadelphia Congress as but another manifestation, along with our own Congress this summer, of our thankfulness for the Oxford Movement, and more than that, of the new Inspiration which has come to us all. The past has been splendid: we hope the future may be glorious.
