The editorial urges Mr Arnold to consider that public opinion favors a united kingdom. It argues state religion should be inclusive of all citizens without fanaticism and envisions a time when national worship reflects the moral life of the whole nation.
A critical piece denounces Bishop and vicar led actions in Richmond and Wimbledon that separated Nonconformists from Anglicans in burial grounds. It cites Burial Act 1857 reforms, reports a wall between plots, and condemns clerical arrogance and Establishment bias fueling religious intolerance and public outrage.
The article argues Nonconformists largely reject Easter as a festival while a devout, Ritualist minority within the Established Church maintains elaborate rites. It cites St Alban’s and St Mary Magdalene, Munster Square, noting incense, Mass like celebrations, ceremonial kneeling rules, and grand processions with crosses, censers, and vestments during Easter.
