The deep and abiding interest in the

that Mrs. Dewey has changed her faith,
and is about to or has already transferred
her ecclesiastic allegiance from the Cath

as cumulative evidence of the serious in

ventured to doubt even in the face of the
reiterated assertions of his candidacy
made by himself.
