saul he stood beton, that misting as a member
lif the Church of Englend, te which he was eineerely
attached. It might he objected by some that he was
ilieloyal to the Church in being present at that
assembly, but he, for one, could not possibly take
that view of it. He was afraid that there was
pealing over the country an increasing and ever.
advancing wave of irreligion and infidelity, in spite of
the struggles of all Christian bodies to oppose it.
I There were some who even went a. far as to deny the
existence of the Supreme Heine, and Him who
was our Lord and Saviour. This infidelity found
favour with the lower orders he well as with the
litter positions. It appeared to him, therefore, that
the time had come when all churches oaght to meet
or. one common ground in order to oppose the spread
of infidelity. That was onesea..en why he Wit* there
that afternoon. That was net the place in which to
make a political speech, but lie might nay that the
other reaeon he was there that afternoon was this—
that he was the Liberal candidate, and as such
had been eked to attend. Of course if it had not
been for that he should not have been among them,
, He claimed also to be a very humble member of that
! groat political party wit ch had gi von religious liberty to
thenunceuformiet churches, which enabled them to ineet
together on such occasions as that without let or
hindrance to raise temples to Ahniglity God. It was
the great Liberal party to which he belonged which
had brought about religoitte enuality,. and hail dour
se much to remove religious dieil dale*. Therefore
it was as a fellow Christian with 11.1 well
as • member of that political party which had done
so much for the cause of reheious fnmsloin that he
believed he had a right to Ile then, on that occasion.
