Kev, H. T, Mitchell, of the West Fnd
Methodist Kplseopal church, preached
yesterday morning on "itomanlsm" Ut
a vary large audience, lie made some
pointed reference to employment of
nun as teacher In tho Klversldo school,
expressing tho ojunlon that tho work
of tho director in tho promise would
be sot osldo by tho court.
The minister chose a hi text the
third verse of the second chapter of
the econd epistle tothoThessalonian,
which I a follow: "Tho son of per
dltlon, whoopeth and exalteth him
self above all that 1 called Cod or that
I worshiped. " I Jo reviewed the
growth of lUirnan Catholicism In thl
country, which he described a marvel
oils, and touched njmn its teaching,
practice and demand. IIu said In
part:
"Tho church teaoho that Peter was
tho Hucccwtor of Christ and that the
popu is the successor of Peter. lie
Is'bIkivo all temporal power and Is In
fallible, It In the practice of the church
to vary Its teaching to suit circum
stance and toconntrii'i the Heripturc to
suit itnclf.
"It Interfere with thoaffalrsof state
and demand that tho young Ik- en
trusted to It care. Its position 1 that
a man I a giNid liniii because he Is a
Itoman Catholic, whereas the Protest
ant believe a man of any Christian re
ligion can bo good, It ls-lng honesty and
( uprlghtnes that constitute hi virtue.
"In jiursuance of ita demand to uM:r-
Intend the education of the children,
the church first charged that the
school were sectarian because the
liiblo wa taught In them. The Bible
wa taken out rind then ltdeclared they
were Codies,
"The real aim of the church I to
have It particular kind of sectarian
ism Inculcated at tho expense of the
state. The placing of tho parochial
school children In the Klversldo school
and the employmentof nun a teacher
is an experiment along this line, and, If
It succeeds, the same thing will be done
In other place. I regard It a uncon
stitutional and predict that the court
will dccldo against It.
"There I grave danger that thl
country will boK'imanlzed, My reason
for thl fear 1 tho character of tho
Catholle people, they being better hero
than anywhere else In tho world, and
tho obsequiousness of politician, New
York and Chicago I pronounce more
absolutely under tho domination of the
pope than any place in Kurojt, and the
purpose of the church have not
changed, Hhould It rule America, the
