Abstract
The Protestant and Evangelical Witness, the successor to the Protector and Christian Witness, was a religious newspaper which printed Protestant church news and theological articles, along with local and international news, advertisements, and anecdotes. The paper supported temperance and attacked the Roman Catholic church and the Catholic paper the Vindicator. It also discussed education, the Land Question and Confederation. The Protestant and Evangelical Witness was the forerunner of the Patriot.
