CHURCH AND STATE IN ENGLAND.

The Boston Watchman (Baptist) says that "the union of Church and State is proving as perplexing to the Church of England as it has proved to the Church of Rome. The very sword she has wielded for centuries is turned against her when her foes grow so numerous as to constitute a majority of the people, or so superior in intellectual power as to sway a majority. In Ireland, a few years ago, she was not only disestablished, but also disendowed and her property devoted to undenominational education." The same thing, the Watchman thinks, will take place in England.
