Washington avenues, in Brooklyn, he
would probably lift up his hands in

Proselytizing in the Philippines.
1T is urged by many" says the
Boston Waterman, that Catholicism
is peculiarly adapted by its concrete
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 objectons the first
that the slnr 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 federation
but in that fuller word, religious
liberty. Now it is no Indication Of a
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 pToselytizing in the Philippines is
doing ourselves injustice Why talk
about removing results by a reform
