catholics protestants agree rev w- h fuller addresses lol at annual church service protestants are willing to accept the charge laid against them by the catholic church when it says we have departed from the heresy declared rev w h fuller in an address be fore the members of the loyal orange lodge of stouffville and visiting brethren from outside lodges what we have done is to return to the apostolic teachings he explained- the speaker outlined the truths wherein the roman church and protestant faith see eye to eye for instance both great bodies he said hold to the tradition in common concern ing god both believe in him and therein there is no conflict between catholic and protest ants both believe in the diety of christ both agree man was made by god and again both hold to the belief that this religion is a saving thing there are however certain other important truths where the two great bodies differ while both believe that the bible is the inspired word of god the catholic teaches there is another authority outside the bible which is the church itself the catholic denies himself the right to interpret the bible he may read it but he must accept the interpre tation of the church the pro- testant admits no authority over his own soul the re formation brought the world the open bible before which there were very few if a man owned one it was mentioned in- his will so scarce a book was it- the protestant again reserves his right to stand alone before god and make intercession and receive forgiveness of sin the roman church gives the pastors this right and under such a condition the speaker declared our destiny is held in human hands no wonder he exclaim ed why a man can remain faith ful to the church when he is taught from childhood that the church can forgive him his sins another great principle om which we differ is the claim of the catholic church to rule the- state protestants believe the church and state are separate although there is a great differ ence of opinion as to just where the line should be drawn mr fuller said i admire the cath olic church for insisting on edu cating their children in their- own faith we protestants be lieve it is the duty of the home to give this training the catho lic says the state is responsible a final point of cleavage men tioned was the attitude on marriage- protestants have a great trad ition to uphold said the speaker when in closing he read to the orangemen their obligation as defined in their own ritual the ratcliff quartette and the markham presbyterian choir assisted in the service which formed the regular hour of wor ship in st james church the orangemen were about fifty strong and paraded to the service headed by the stouffville band send the tribune to absent friends
