EP1scoPAL1ANs.-This denomination of
Christians have always insisted that their
church is directly descended from the primi-
tive or Apostolic church, and that thor mode
of worship and degrees of ministers are pre-
cisely or nearly similar to those instituted by
the Apostles themselves. The Roman Calho-
lie church has claimed regular descent from
the Apostolic church, and assert that their
idolatrous worship of pictures and ina
ges of the Saviour, the Virgin Mary ard the
saints, were part of the ceremonies of il, but
no satisfactory proof has ever been adduced
to sustain the assertion. The claim of the
Episcopal church or the church of England
to primitiveness in its origin may be CLEANED
from the following scrap of history which we
