 "That this meeting strongly disapproves of the Act incorporating the Jesuits and the 'Act 
 for the «ettlement of the Jesuits' Estates ' as calculated to endanger the peace and well- 
 being of this Dominion, and particularly of this Province, by giving l^^al status to a society 
 which in the past has pvo^wn itself d^ ^^lemy of civil and religious liber^, and by emiow-

 in any of the Provinces, as guaranteed by Sec. 93 of said Act. That in the opinion of this

 rights, the Govcrnor-in-Council should furnish them opportunity to establish the complaint, 
 
 and, if it is well founded, the prbtection mentioned in such section should be extended to 
 
 them."

 ADDRESS BY LEO. H. DAVIDSON, D.C.L. 
 
 Moved by Rev. S. Bond; Seconded by Walter Paul, Esq. : 
 
 " That this meeting hereby expresses its strong displeasure at the law of compulsory 
 tithing ; at the law by which parishes exist and can be erected for civil purposes ; at the 
 priority of the church's claims over all other creditors ; at those provisions of the marriage 
 . laws which give financial, civil and religious advantage to the Roman Catholic Church 
 which are denied to Protestants. We regard these and all other provisions of the law by 
 which a connection between the State and the Roman Catholic Church exists, as creating 
 inequalities and imposing disadvantages on the Protestant minority which no subject of 
 Her Majesty in this Dominion should be called upon to endure. We further protest 
 against any acceptance of the doctrine of supremacy of the Church over the State, and the 
 practice of giving equality of position on State occasions to the chief officer of the Roman 
 Catholic Church with Her Majesty's Representative in ihe Province."
