What an amazing volte-face! Religious liberty is now guaranteed by the constitution promulgated in 1888.
It is somewhat startling to find men of cultivated taste, who are familiar with the highest class preaching of the English Church, expressing their sense of the superior effect of pulpit oratory of a very different kind.
