not errors, indeed, essential to Episcopacy to
involve them and to develop them. 1t is against
these errors, and the correlatve system of doc
trine which is inseparable from them, that the
Presbyterian churches of Scotland are an in
vulnerable defense. For this purpose 1 wish
them to be strong. No one would regard with

found those principles with accidents of worship
which may have become, in many cases at least,
sources of weakness rather than of strength.p

The late riot at Barletta, Italy, gave rise to
debate in the Italian Parliament in the course
| OF which the article in the Constitution was
referred to which declares Roman Catholicism

Minister of the Interior said, "The first article
| of the Statute cannot extenuate in any way
excesses of this kind, and take nothing from

Catholic religion is the sole religion of the State

edly said in Parliament and never been con-
tested), but that the State declares that every
thing that it undertakes or will undertake in
connection with some religious rite will be done
in connection with the Catholic form. This and
