"Fourth. The Holy Spirit may change the heart of a child, a* be goes hence, through the vision of Him who won Hie trust of children while on earth." Referring to the growth of mcerdolaliam, Hie minister said: “This had IU rise In Ibe m Islnterpratation of Scripture The flrat sign of It »a* in the rise of the belief In baptismal regenera!loo Along with this Influence, we may place the growth of the notion of the artual presence of Christ In the tie menu of the Lord ’s Supper or Communion. It came to he believed that there wa* something mystical, If not sacred, lu or about the bread or wine. Gradually, It took the form of a spectacular ceremony, or rite, and the sacredueaa was encoded to the officiating minister or priest, as he cams to be considered. In process of rims, men were led to think that (hair salvation depended ou their participation Id the secramenU, as they began lo call them. Aa Ibe theory became more and more widely believed, the cup was withdrawn from the bitty, aa they began to be called, aud there was establubed a wall, or rather a plane, of separation bet seen ibe minister of the gospel and the simple believer who was not called to minister. “Where the sacerdotal office waa once acknowledged, and the authority of the priesthood established, ever*official act of the priasl became a recrement, and recramenl was added to recrement until there were at least seven -baptism, communion, penance, matrimony, confession, prayer and mass. The effect was lo paralyza faith In God and spiritual growth. It wa* the death of evangelical religion lo the Homan Catholic Church. If meu could be saved by attending mass, or by w ltueealng the other ceremonies of ibe ebureh, there waa 00 need for them lo be converted; aud regeneration became the work of the priest,and not of the Holy Spirit. 'The consequences were that a man who had been a pirate was made bred of the church without even pretending to have had a change of heart, and men were bunted to Ibe death tor obeying God, rather than man. It became a crime to be converted and change one’* life if It In any way effected the will of the ebureh."
