However, later on in the act’s body it becomes clear that the entire phrase, ‘Society of the United Brethren for the propagation of the Gospel among the heathen,’ is the complete title of the society.
Poor reading comprehension.

Barton got the name wrong and thought it was the purpose of the federal program? That’s really, really embarrassing. Or should be.
