"Americansm in the Church and State.n This
was the subject selected by Rev. Justin d. Fulton
pastor OF the Hanson place Baptist church, Tor his
discourse yesterday morning There was q large
congregation present who listened attentively to
the remarks OF the reverend gentleman. His
opening prayer was interesting. He prayed for
the w0rshppers IL all the Roman Catholic
churches, and hoped that the Gospel of Christ
might be more and more preached from the pull
pits OF those churches. He also prayed for the
praying temperance bands now going through
Ohio and hoped all the saloon keepers would see
he'll opening for them. His text was as fOllows:-

chapter as the buttress OF their strength, they
look upon America as the future stronghold OF
Papacy. They believe the woman described here
to be the ROmish Church clothed with the radiance
that formerly belonged to the Roman Empire. Was
