According to the view of the editor *^ ie Reverend gentlemen are still memnil ers of the Episcopal Church and have uly transferred their adherence from lie iligii to the Low Church part v. tn his is an entire misconception of the ^ . osition of these gentlemen of the nar II! es in the Church which they have ^ bandoned. The terms "High and Low hurcii" are not to be found in the andards of the Church, but ncverthe- , >ss designate certain phases of reliot ions thought and practice, which give , . . h:i liaracter to parties, now co-existing in 10 body of the Church, and who co[icrate in all church work. The .Messrs. tevens and Johnson themselves were ^ ,'?w Churchmen until their late seees011, and so are hundredH of devoted :istors of the Episcopal Church, who ' lough di fieri ng from some of their rethreu on points of doctrine or matCli rs of ritual, still are content to rest in <-. fold of the episcopal Church.
