the Virgin, New York. was present
last Sunday morning at St. Mary. the
Virgin. That church is a congrega-
tion of the Protestant Episcopal
church-a body which solemnly de-
nies any intention to depart from the
Church of England in any essential
point of doctrine, discipline or wor-
ship. The whole service was a fla
grant defiance of Professionalism. The
Church of England was reformed es-
pecially to get rid of mass, but on
Sunday morning what was openly and
cynically termed high mass was per-
formed Nestments were worn, in
cense was burned, genutiections were
made. and all these things are fragrant
defiance of the discipline of the En-
glish church; they are absolutely ile-
gal. And the proceeding eliminated in
the elevation and alteration of the
senseless elements of bread and wine
an act of idolatry. which, as our
prayer book says. should be abhorred
by all Christian men.
