Hobart to have provoked. These grievances, detailed and accumulated, perhaps distorted, but certainly exaggerated, very often, too, wholly imagi- nary, were here studiously set forth by a jealous pen, brought before the tribunal of the public, and urged upon ' Churchmen' as conclusive argument against Mr. Hobart's fitness for the high office of Bishop. It was an ordeal, certainly, which nothing could have stood save * pure gold.' But Christian sincerity is that pure gold, however alloyed it may... be by human infirmity. His character came forth, therefore, unstained; the blow aimed against him fell harmless, or rather, the weapon cast by the hand of jealousy fell back, with retributive justice, on the head of him who hurled it ; becoming, even as it were, a millstone about his neck. He never rose under the recoil. But the evil was not all neutralized. Though the pub- lication failed to defeat Mr. Hobart's election, it yet cast a firebrand into the Church which was not soon extin- guished.
