opposition to IA change In the denoini-
national name to the American Catholic
Church. The sudden designations. 1t

Of the low church element at the weak

yersy that has been w8ged over the
proposed change of name.

editorial adviser were filled at once by
men who stand firm for the present
name or Protestant Episcopal. Mr..

ters and the members OF the Protestant
League, LETT "A Chicago parish only
