ORIGIN OF THE INSTITUTE. Was formed in 1857 by a few friends who were
interested in the maintenance of Evangelical principles, and who were
anxious at the same time to combat the aggressive movements of the Romish
Priests connected with the Brompton Oratory.
OBJECT. To maintain and defend that blessed Gospel which our Reformers
in the 16th Century brought to light, after it had been obscured by the
darkness of Mediæval superstition. In a word, to warn the incautious, to
win back the lapsed, inform the ignorant, and enlighten those whose minds
are darkened by superstition.
MEANS EMPLOYED. The combined agency of the Press, the Platform, and the
Pulpit, with Classes for Controversial Divinity. A careful vigilance
over the efforts of Romish emisssaries. The issuing of papers bearing
directly on the truths of the Gospel, as opposed to the innovations of
the Church of Rome.
