Miss Burton, teaching Italian children and distributing gospels to Jews in the Ghetto, faces mobbing and book burnings yet gains attention from 5 000 Jewish residents. The Rev. Mr. Wall and Father Gavazzi also lead efforts as Roman Catholics and Protestants engage in religious outreach.

Church and State in America Addressed to Mr Hughes
Dr. J P Thompson argues that the United States has fully separated church from state. He cites Illinois bishop Cheney case, protests against ecclesiastical courts, and notes colonial histories from Plymouth to Virginia showing no religious establishment. He reiterates that state constitutions recognize religious expressions without establishing religion and that courts protect civil liberty from church interference.
