No doubt the Russian bishop would
gladly see the Episcopalians adopt
some OF his ceremonies, and the Episco-
pallans would equally gladly learn Of
the conversion Of the holy synod 10 the
thrty-nine articles OF faith, but It
should be evident TO an that there is no
probability Of any such occurrence.
