free press and free speech, and an unllm-
tied circulation of the Bible. The Protest
ants too, are in the majority, and have the
fullest and broadcast opportunIty to reach
the masses of the people with their prip-
cinIes and policy. They have too. the yery
important advantage of being strengthened

reasonable TO suppose that. in these cir

There ought to be union of Protestant
denominations, in this country, not for the
purpose of interfering with or making ag-
uressions nnon the Catholics. but
for the nurpose of promoting
the cause of evangelical christianity,
in an oruanized and more effective way.
