Now that the war is over, the Protestant question must come first.: Protestantism before Politics Leaflet No. 15.

Paper age-toned, with tears and chipping to the top edges. Light spots of foxing. Central vertical crease.

An address issued by the Church Association, dated June 1902 (2nd thousand), promoting its political organisation which had already a presence in 225 out of 443 English constituencies. It seeks more electors to add their names to the "Protestant Roll", being a pledge to "put his Protestantism before mere Party questions at the Polling Booth."

The Church Association was an English evangelical Anglican organisation founded in 1865. It was particularly active in opposition to Anglo-Catholicism, ritualism, and the Oxford Movement. Founded in 1865 by Richard P. Blakeney, the association stated in its first annual report that the objectives of the association were, "To uphold the principles and order of the United Church of England and Ireland, and to counteract the efforts now being made to assimilate her services to those of the Church of Rome."

A strident tract warning that inaction will result in the capture of the Church of England by the " disloyal and Romanizing clergy" and that "Your political leaders are betraying you."
