The English split off from the Catholics because, Henry NTH had difficulty in getting sanction from the chuich to satisfy hin lust for amourous women, and Negroes went with this ilk, singing 'tXiod save the Kiug." The white man said the thing necessary is baptism by immersion; and the Negroes jojned them as Baptists. The white man said ag?i?i \ye mustnave a new method of doing thlng^-and we shall call oursefyTT? Methodists; an J the Negroes, then, became Methodists. The white Methodists and Baptists split up further on account of the right to hdld slaves jQund the Negroes arrayed themselves on the respective sides. questions, beyond human power to understand; and the Negrues started out in similar fashion to imitate them.

Most of the corruption, moreover, has developed from the unusual opportunity which the institiuftion offers for 'doing great _ things; and too many politicians are going into the church to use this opportunity for self-aggrandizement. They promote the division of the people into factions to make it easier to exploit them. -Thi^-is-HQ-reason'JLor trying to crush the church.
