After Evensong which was conducted by Rev. E. H. Eckel of Christ Church Williamsport a Sermon a preached by Rev. G. I. Brown of Belle Fonte who founded his remarks on the 1st and 2nd verses of the second chapter of or. Paul a epistle to Timothy. It was a most scholarly and advanced discourse contrasting the episcopal Church with the protestant and the roman Church. Taking a Survey of christianity he found that it presents itself in the three great aspects of protestantism anglicanism and romanism. Dwelling upon the High Faith in the Mission of the Church which is essential among her followers he dwelt upon some of the difficulties encountered. In a sense the a a episcopal Church is a nameless Church. There is no one of the several names by which it is known among others which satisfies its members or which truly represents its character. The Legal title a protestant episcopal testifies to but a fragment of its history and but a portion of the truth for which it stands.
