Observing “Holy Week”

By Editor

The Walla Walla (Wash.) Evening Bulletin of April 1 contained the information that five of the Protestant churches of that city had united in union services for the observance of holy week. The Catholic and Episcopal, as was to be expected, had made preparations for the observance; but this union of the Protestant churches to observe an admittedly Catholic institution is, to say the least, a matter of some astonishment. It is a striking coincidence that one of the sermons scheduled for this union service was entitled “Jesus Cleansing the Temple.” When Protestant denominations unite to perpetuate and glorify an institution of the Roman Church, it is prima facie evidence that the temple is in need of cleansing.
