I I I Wu Uneasy Milverton Sun: Bishop Edwin Holt 1 Hughes of the Methodist `Episcopal Church, in an address before the an-, nual conference of the church atNew ` Jersey last week, held up as an ex! ample to indifferent and indolent: Protestants devout Roman Catholics who attend mass in all kinds of wea- ther. The Roman Catholic Clfurch in America, he declared, makes some of us uneasy. It makes me un- easy", but in this way, when I go to a Protestant church and nd one-fth of the enrolled members absent from t devotions; that makes me uneasyl ; He very properly depreciated those people` who make attacks on t Ro- man Catholic `Church who do n t at- tend their own '_church.' There is not L much econ-sistency about people who rarely darken a ohprch door dispar- E aging those who .do, no matter what their faith. `- - -- I i LARGE A`ENDANcE .
