ITALIAN PRoTEsTA ANTIsM.--Rev. j. p. Newman
writes in the Methodist:-"It is to be feared that
Protestants have counted too largely upon the
al results of the Italian revolution or rather upon
the overthrow of the temporal power of the Pope.
AS TAR as can learn, the Italian Catholics have no
intention to renounce their religion. Almost to
man they desire the separation of church4nd state
and they are equally unanimous to retain the Pope
as their spiritual head. The Fapal Church is still
great power in the earth, and will 80 continue for
many years to come. Reformation, rather than
conversion, is the great work to be accomplished.
IL Is not to be expected that Catholics will become
fTotestants. They regard Professionalism as new
reglon, and it is this fact which causes the terrible
strugge In the minds of those who become converts
Inc econsummatlon of the presunt revolution will
