In my opinion Mr. Spencer Tones represents a very large element-many element-many of the most thoughtful men and women in the Established Church. Amidst the trials through which Christianity is passing the conviction for which the ground Is ample and sure that they will one clay be reunited with us is consoling and encouraging. With their powerful aid. vnat might we not do in propagating the faith which Christ came on earth to plant and in struggling against modern pa-sanism pa-sanism and the revolt against God?
