The beautiful and spacious hall of King's College, in this University, is now receiving some splendid additions to its chaste and ornamental appearance, by the filling up of three of the north-west windows with elegant devices of stained glass. Each device is presented by the individuals themselves whose armorial bearings they represent, or by their executors or friends. The work is being executed by Mr. Hedgeland, of Groveplace, Lisson Grove, London; to whom great credit is due for the great skill and able workmanship he has displayed. The windows will be completed in the course of a day or two. We have been favoured with the following description: These windows consist of armorial escutcheons, crests, and heraldic devices of benefactors and distinguished members of the College, arranged in the principal openings of the several windows, and surmounted by the College emblems, or other ornamental designs in the tracery compartments.

THE CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER having been transferred by the late talented, long tried, and faithful Editor into new hands, it becomes a duty to address a few words to our many contributors, and the public at large, upon this occasion. The new Editor has from the commencement in 1819 been a constant supporter, and for the last ten years a considerable contributor, to the work; so that the principles which it has hitherto so successfully advocated will be consistently maintained, and every exertion made to increase the estimation in which, as a soundly religious and orthodox publication, THE CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER has been held for nearly TWENTY YEARS! It is earnestly hoped that those kind and able friends, to whose talent and exertions the high character of the Miscellany is greatly indebted, will continue their valuable support to the new Editor, as the work will be conducted in every respect on the same principles by which it has hitherto been so successfully regulated. NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. The hint of our Blandford correspondent shall be attended to. P. A. E. will accept our thanks; and, we repeat, similar curiosities will be always acceptable. R. P. Broughton. All communications from that quarter, will find their appropriate place in the CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER. A correspondent asks, "Where a child, in the absence of godfathers and godmothers, is baptized at church, can the service be completed at a future time at home?" Certainly not; the reception of the infant into the congregation of Christ's flock, must be done in the "presence of all His people." T. A Lecturer, though not bound by law, is so by custom and prescription, to give the usual notice of resignation. S. S. A couple may insist upon being married immediately after the last publication of their banns, in the course of divine service; but it is not usual. We shall be obliged to any of our readers for a reply to the following queries of T-n :- Is there any canon, or other legitimate authority, which prohibits preaching without a text? Articles for immediate insertion are requested to be forwarded by the 21st of each month, as the arrangement and details are materially benefited by early communications. Births, Marriages, and Deaths, with matters of local interest connected with the Church, if duly authenticated, will be inserted without delay. Several Clergymen who have been in the habit of contributing articles to the CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER, having kindly offered to continue their valuable services, we beg to acknowledge their favours, and shall be always most happy to hear from them. THE CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER. OCTOBER, 1838. REVIEW OF NEW PUBLICATIONS. ART. I.-Rationalism and Revelation; or, the Testimony of Moral Philosophy, the System of Nature, and the Constitution of Man, to the Truth of the Doctrines of Scripture; in Eight Discourses, preached before the University of Cambridge, in the year 1837; with a Memoir of the Founder of the Lecture, the Rev. John Hulse. By the Rev. RICHARD PARKINSON, B.D. of St. John's College, Cambridge, and Fellow of Christ's College in Manchester. London: Rivingtons. Pp. xlvii. 224. AMONGST the greatest benefactors of the human race, may fairly be enumerated those who, from pious and holy motives, have instituted prizes, established lectures, or endowed fellowships, for the advancement of the "excellency of the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." Nor is it possible for men to have taken more effectual means to secure an earthly immortality, if ever these great and good characters had such an object in view. For, once a year, at least, their bounty is brought under public review; once a year a new stone is added to the altar erected to perpetuate their memory. Not to enumerate the founders of our colleges at Oxford and Cambridge,-not to mention the royal and noble benefactors to whom, under Providence, their rise and progress must be referred,—let any man, even a stranger to these mighty institutions, refer to the calendars alone and there behold the host of goodly names enrolled as founders of fellowships, professorships, scholarships, or annual prizes, and then let him say whether England has not a proud right to glory in such a galaxy of illustrious characters. But with us these names are familiar as household words; and first and foremost ranks John Hulse, "one of the greatest benefactors to the university of Cambridge in modern times;" who founded two Divinity Scholarships in St. John's College; the Hulsean Prize, the office of Christian Advocate, and that of Hulsean Lecturer, of Christian Preacher. |
