ans and the stateliness of Episcopal
ians; while we recognize most fully all
branches of the church of Christ as our
brethren, as different corps of the same
grand army; as fighting under the same
flag and obedient to the commands of
the same leader, yet, in this year, dur

a future of great unrest, of reconstruc-

And the church must lead and control
these changes, or be overwhelmed by
them.
