A heretic, holding or teaching false doctrine concerning the sueranicnt. Is ex communicated and degraded, and handed over to the secular court. IT. Secular princes unwilling to swear to defend the church agaliwt heretics are ex communicated, and they uru lalu under an Interdict. lit. The goods of heretics, are to be con fiscated and applied to the church. 19. Advocates or notaries, favoring here tics, or their defenders, or pleading for them In law suits, or writing documents for them, are Infamous and suspended from olllce. 20. The secular powers, whether perma nent or temporary, are bound to swear that they will exterminate, according to their power, ull liereticscondeuinedby thecliureh; and a temporal lord not purging bis land of heretics, 1 ex-communicated. 21. Those signed with the cross for the extermination of heretics, rejoice In the privilege grunted to the crusaders for the help of the holy land. 22. They are absolved from all obligations who are In anywise bound to heretics. 22. Whoever dies 1" battle against the un believing, merits the kingdom of heaven. 24. We do not esteem those homicides, to Whom It may Uavu happened la their zeal for their mother church against trie ex-communicated, to kill some of them. 23. That Catholic Trinces are bound, lHitb by ctvH and canon law, not to receive or tolerate heretics, and much more are not to permit their rites, or other exercise of their religion, or rather, their false sect, but ore most solemnly bound everywhere, to repel and expel them. . 26. The following temporal punishments are to be enforced on heretics: 1st Infamy, and tho consequent disqualifications for nil civil act. 2nd Intestability, as well active as passive (that is. they can neither make will nor Inherit what Is left to them by others). Urd Loss of paternal power over children. 4th Loss of dowry, and other privileges granted to women. 6th-Confiscation of all goods. Otb That vassuls und laves and others are free from all, even sworn obJlgalloMi due to their lord or an other. 7ih Capital corporal punishment, especially death, and perpetual luiprlson .luent. .27. The canon law forbids all t Jeration '.2H. That metropolitans una i...ja;)s are to ex-cornmunlcnie him who grunts liberty of conscience. 29. No oath Is to be kept towards heretic princes, lords or others. 80. Heretics ore to be deprived of ull civil and paternal rights. 31. The pope can uhsolve from all oaths. 211 Every bishop is ordinary judge in a cause of heresy. The reason is because the bishops can ex-offldo, and ought toextlrpate heretics, and inflict upon them the due pun ishments, ond to this are bound on pain of deposition. Besides, are the Inquisitors es pecially deputed by the apostolic sea. Every bishop In his diocese Is thought to be, and In ru lty Is, a natural Inquisitor, (liter ally born Inquisitor), so as to have the same power with those already mentioned In a cause of heresy. Kit. In every promissory oath, although absolutely taken, there are certain condi tions tacitly understood, amongst which are: 1st If 1 can; 2nd To save the right and authority of a superior; 3rd When the oath supposes the honor of the apostolic seo to be Illicit. 31. That the council of Trent, (the last and great authority of Home), decrees and com mands that the sacred canons and all gen eral councils, also the other apostolic enact ments Issued In favor of ecclesiastical persons of ecclesiastical liberty, and against Its violators, ull of which by this present decree it renews, and must m exactly ob served by all.

P.O. 8. of A. Its History, Principles and Objects, as Set Forth by the National Secretary. This Patriotic Order was first organ ized in Philadelphia, in 1W, and had extended through several eastern and southern states, when the civil war in 13ol compelled the suspension of its operations. After the restoration of peace it was reorganized, and it is now firmly es tablished in nearly every state and ter ritory of the United States, and the membership is increasing at a rapid rate, so that today its camp-fires are burning brightly and its standards waving triumphantly In all parts of our broad land. The Order has for its objects the in culcation of pure American principles, and reverence for American institu tions; the cultivation of fraternal affec tion among American freemen; the op position to foreign interference with state interest in the United States of America, and to any form of organ i:d disregard of American laws and cus toms; the preservation of the constitu tion of the United States, and the ad vancement of t'Ur free public school system. Its immediate benefit are home benevolence, the care of I U sick, the burial of its dead, the protection of and assistance to all connected with it who may be in need, Next to the love for the Cre.nUr, we believe that Patriotism is the highest and noblest affection of the human soul. We believe that the institutions of no country are safe without patriotic citi zens, and that none will so jealously guard and protect thern as those who turn born and reared under their In fluence, We bellev that we have the best form of government it ft the masses on the fac of the earth. For the wei fare, prosperity and liberty of all American citizens and their deseend ants, we desire to protect out iurm (A government und preserve (t intact from the influence and control of any foreign power, By disseminating serf tfments of loyalty und patriotism; by establishing a fraternal fueling of devo tion Ui country amongst all Americans, wo iiin- lo tnake it imswHihl fur any onu l llvn utnler tin' pntttfUun tf lhi Miamaml hit l" nhnuWu ttol hohur ami rvvin II. ahd !n would not W willing- to (lw tip ins Utn In ill (elice til the it ltelplis of frevdmii ami justice, which It rvprvannta.

We are opposed to tho occupancy of any part of our land by foreign speculator or adventurers, who do not wish to become citizens, and wo believe that all of tho resources and privileges of tho country should bo reserved for tho exclusive use of citi zens, either native-born or naturalized. We are in favor of crushing out that which is already here, and of taking measures which will prohibit from en trance into our ports, in the future, of that foreign element which comes hero to advocate communism, and nihilism, and which does not identify itself with our country, and does not respect our flag. We invite all native-born citi zens who believe in their country and ita institutions, and who desire to per petuate free government, and who wish to encourage a brotherly feeling among Americans to the end that we may ex alt our country, to join with us in this our work of fellowship and love. Any white male person shall be eligible to membership in this Order who is of good moral character, sixteen years of age, born on tho soil or within the jurisdiction of the United States; a believer in the existence of a Supreme Being as the Creator and Preserver of the universe; opposed to the union of church and state, and to the interfer ence of any power.directly or indirectly, in tho affairs of this government. We have no quarrel with any man on ac count of nationality or religion, but we wish to accord equal justice to all honest American citizens. Wo ask that Americans be allowed fair play on their own native soil, and we seek, by educating public sentiment, to advance the idea of "Americans for America," rather than to insist upon "America for Americans." In addition to the regular beneficial system of the subordinate camps, there is, under the management of the national camp, a separate additional Life Insurance feature, known as tho "Mortuary Benefit Fund," of the P. O. S. of A. Membership in it ia optional with any member of the Order under fifty years of age, after medical exam ination. Only such members of the Order as are enrolled in this Special Benefit Fund will be entitled to any of its privileges. The membership certifi cates are for 11000.00. The cost of admission, exclusive of medical examination fee, is $4.00 and must accompany the application. There are no extra dues, but the members must continue in an active camp of the Order. The only cost after admission is for death assessments. The highest number in any one year has been six. The assessments are as follows, for certificates of tlOOO.00: Between the age of Iff and T, , f I 00 &i i9i. ...... i in ' huh y, i. a-, i an u ,, as in i .. ., .. u ii 15 ,,, 1 Sfl " " 45 " 2 10 This is the only insurance feature provided by the laws of the Order, and is an established success.

We affirm our devotion to the public school system of this country. We be lieve in comjiulsory education, and that all teaching In our schools should be in the Kngliih language to the end that future generations may be able to take their place in the ranksof our country's workers, educated in the history, the customs and manners of Americans, Wa guaranty to every roan the lib erty ot worshiping God, according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would give every assistance to protect all in the exercise of his liberty, but we object most strentisisly to the in terference of any church, no matter under what name it may exist, in the temporal affair of this country. We believe that the Bible should be read in our public schools, not Ut Utwi sectarianism, but to inculcate Its teach ings. It is th recognized standard oi all moral and civil law, w therefore believ that our children should be educated In if teaching, but; that no Book Department.

We believe that patriotism and love of country should be instilled into the hearts of children, and that with the sacred words of "Mother, Homo and Heaven," our children should be taught that our flag is the symbol of all that makes a "home" for us. We should place a flag upon every public school in herlland. and a Bible within, and to object lesson therein set forth should be a beacon light in every storm which hreatens to engulf us. In this noble and patriotic work we ask the cordial and hearty co-operation of all good citizens. In this grand work we need the helping hand of all organizations holding the same views and principles. We have no time for jealousies and bickerings, but with a united front we should march forward, shoulder to shoulder, remembering that "United we stand, divided we fall." In the strictest sense, we are a na tional political organization, but we oppose with unanimity trie slightest taint of partisanship. "Our Country" is our motto, and we keep this motto steadily before us. We are cognizant that there are great and powerful enemies within our midst, requiring the strictest sur vel lance of all who are at heart, word and in deed Arrwrimn. We, as members of this order, affirm our allegiance to the object of the order as paramount to any partisan affiliation, and urge upon the member ship harmonious, united and intelligent action in carrying out the principles.
