any Intervention of the church. This
result was inevitable because of the
personal and property rights involved
which belonged properly to the juri
diction of the state. The church,
both Catholic and Protestant, retains
however, its ancient privileges Of
ceremonial over it's members, and
this accords with popular prejudice
