OF the sect enter the remodeled
Friends church at Lafayette and
Washington avenues, in Brooklyn, he
would probably lift up his hands in
horror, for that is just what he would
see. 4 But the congregation and its
pastor are not ashamed of this con-
cession to material beauty and com.

their newly fitted place of worship,
they held special services last Sun

1T is nothing extraordinary" pro-

Sanders. THE necessity for a great
many of the old Quaker customs and
traditions has disappeared he says
and for that reason they have died
out. Take the use of the second per-
son singular, the thee and thou 1t
was first adopted at a time when the
great barons of England insisted that
they be spoken to as you in order
that they might thus be distinguished
above their fellows. the doctrine of
the Quakers refused to admit that
any man was entitled to such distinc-

dying out, and is now but little heard,

ness to the Filipino mind, which can
not readily be reached by the more
abstract tenets of Professionalism; AMI
the opinion is expressed or implied
that the salvation of the Filipino
must be through q moral reform in
the Roman Catholic church, and that
we ought not to interfere with the
belief of the people. Against this
are two serious objections; the first,
that the slur against proselytiZing is
unjust; and the second, that the Fill
pino mind is adapted to the Protestant
religion. The fundamentally different
views of the evangelical and Roman
Catholic faith, not only justify, but
make it an absolute duty, to proclaim
the salvation which is of faith and
| the necessity of being born again to
people who have been brought up
under Roman dogma. We believe
most truly, not in religious liberation.
but in that fuller word, religious
| liberty. Now it is no Indication of
broad or liberal mind to deny our
selves the liberty we grant to others.
To admit the right of the Catholic
to believe and propagate his views
unmolested, and to speak scornfully
| of proselytizing in the Philippines, is
doing ourselves injustice. Why talk
about removing results by a reform

Episcopalians Object to the Term
Catholic
Many good Episcopalians are much

printed several communications voic-
ing the sentiments of those opposed
to a change. Here is warning note

members from abroad, it becomes us,
