RITUALISTIC.
As a matter of great interest to many of our readers, we publish this morning the interdict of the Church of the Blessed Virgin by Bishop QUINTARD, and the answer of the Rev. J. W. ROGERS, the Rector of that new Episcopal enterprise. In doing so, we cannot but regret, in common with our citizens generally of whatever faith, that any difference should have grown up between these gentlemen, especially since it is likely to take a turn such as scandal mongers love, and therefore, prove not only injurious to the Episcopal Church, but to religion of every form. But Mr. Rogers is firm in his determination to test the validity of his ritualistic performances; and, as in New York, it has not been suppressed, nor in England by the great Pan-Anglican Council, we may rest in the belief that he is safe in his venture, unless he can be silenced on other charges than have yet been suggested. The solution of this difference will be looked for with interest by our people generally.
