Hale discourages George from becoming an Episcopalian minister, looking down on the 39 articles of the Episcopal Church and accusing that church of having one set of rules for its clergy and another set for its members. He claims the Unitarian Church is better on position than the Protestant Episcopal Church of America, "which publishes as its articles a series of formulas which no living man believes."
