Excerpt: ...to take any part in its law-making body. Some one will talk about the Quakers. But they deny the existence of the Church, the sacraments of the Church, and make no distinction between the ministry and the laity.

It would not have been possible. Dr. Potts says that it is prejudice. Nothing of the kind. Do...
