close the conversation, and said wo

were simply a translation of Konrlck's
"Moral Theology," ft book written In
Latin by ft bishop of tho Homish
church, and used ft a class-book In all
Iloman Catholic seminaries for tho
education of students for the priesthood,

grant ft license the day the lecture

when the Homorilst got to know, they

W hat the Tery I'ress Had le hay of the

Although the tory prcssdefcwled un

Hrltlsb crown durlrur l he war for A mer-
lean Independence it was rendering
tho-e Colonist a a" r view In warning
them eifainst tho rsslblo consequence
of an alliance with Franco, then on tho
threshold of the French revolution.
I'pli.Ktj'iaft srwl corruotlon of tho
French court burdened tho people until
they rose, and under tho buttle cry of
"Liberty. Fraternity, and I-quallty,"
Inaugurated the reign of terror which
resulted In the annihilation of law and
order and the denial of an existence of
aHurireme Helng, From tho extreme
of blind faith In their clergy and the
doctrine of the church, they went to
the other extreme of entire repudiation
of tho control of the priesthood and
Utter disbelief in their teachings, It
wasonly by long suffering that peo
ple could be Induced to bring fttsuit
uch a radical religious and litlcul
revolution. For some year tsiforo tho
'orrn burst, the leader of thollomun
church perceived tbe growing discon
tent and cast ftlsiut for a refuge, North
America offered the safest harbor, ex
cepting that jsirtlon of the western
continent controlled by Great
Britain Tho French possession In
America th refore wore tho only haven
for fleeing priesthood, until tho war
between (Jreat IlrlUiIn and tho Ameri
can Colonlsti broke out, Kven then
tho leaders of tbe Itoman church feared
to attempt to (fttln ft foothold in the
colonies, until through their machina
tion the alliance between trance and
the revolting colonic wu affected. Of
thl alliance the I'trtMylmnin Ud'jur,
a tory organ, dated May M, 177, iay;
"Hurely we have reason to distrnst

from such an alliance! We not only
run a manifest risk of becoming slaves
ourselves, under the treucherous title
of lndeK)ndency, but wo are doing
everything In our power to overturn
tho Protestant religion, and extinguish
every spark, both of civil and religious
freedom In the world."
Nearly one year after, James Hiving-
ton 'a Hnynl (la&tle commenting on tbe
alliance, said:
"On tho other band, even If America,
by tho power of Franco and French
troops, should oblige Urltaln to rolln
gulsh her Just claim to an equitable
union of force and Interests, what ad
vantage would tho colonic reap from
the eventV Hellglon, with tattered
garment and mournful eyo would la
ment tho success which exposed her to
the shackle of popish superstition and
tho lash of unfeeling persecutor."
Tho royalist press In tho American
colonies exerted It Influence toward
union with the kingdom of Great
Ib ltaln, happily without avail, but the
warning against tho danger of affording
Human Catholicism a foothold In the
United Htato was prophetic. It I not
to Isi supposed that tho federal leaders
In that hour of trial contemplated a
meiHiiro that was to ultimately bring
distress upon tbe people, An alliance
with tho hereditary foe of Knglund wa
desirable as It would help tho oppressed
colonists to achieve their Independence,
Tho congress whs justified In applying
tho muxirn of the Jesuits: "Tho end
Justifies the means" In this extreme
cmso. The provision of the constitution
offering on the part of a grateful peo
ple a home to the enslaved and o
pressed of other lands ha resultod In
an ftbur,o of hospitality. It was de

Tho conciliatory tone of tho letter Is

of tho Iloman church ho Its equal

It Is impossible to reconcile a man of
lofty reason and pure religious senti
ment to what bo know to bo contrary
to tho law of God and man. The bosi
expressed by Loo XIII. In reference to
these devoted men I In vain.
The appeal to tho eastern churches
Invito tho reunion of tho Greek, Coptle
and Husslan-Greek churches with the
Iloman Catholic church. It Is centur
ies since tbe Greek church recognized
tho Human pontiff and long habit has
strengthened the unfriendly feeling,
Tbe promise that the rights and patri
archal privileges of tho Greek church
shall bo maintained in tho event of
union with tbe Iloman Catholic church,
If fulfilled, would bo only through a
complete doctrinal revolution. The
utter fallacy of suuh ft proposition Is
apparent, as with It atoptfon would
dlsippcartho power of the Iloman hie
rarchy, To make thl union complete
tbe Iloman church would have to coun
tenance tho non-celibate doctrine, the
baptism of Infant by Immersion, the
sacrament of both kinds, the rejection
of the doctrine of purgatory, tho doc
trine of transuhstantlallori and the
procedure of tbe holy spirit only from
the Ftther, and the regard, not the
worship of relics, Image and pictures,
all of which are tenet of the Greek
church, A desire for the reunion of
tho two churches bus existed for some
time, but not until now ha the wish
been publicly expressed, To prepare
tbe faithful for such a reunion, the Hu
man Catholic laity have boon Instructed
by the clergy to regard all member of
the (.reek church a of their commun
ion, Now tho Greek church In IlussU
Is nominally governed by the metropol
itan, but In reality I governed by the
c.ar, Tho czar I the most autocratic
af all secular sovereign, a the pope I
the most autocratic of all ecclesiastical
sovereigns, it I ft simple proposition
that oil and water will not mix, It I
an unalterable command, passed from
pojm to poe to hi people: "Thou
shaltbave none other god (on earth)
but me," The czar and the jsipe Could
not dwell In amity with each other,
"I'roteslant have no fixed rule of
faith or authority, and many of there
even deny the divinity of Christ and
the Inspiration of the scripture,"
What Protestant denomination denies
tho divinity of Christ or tho inspira
tion of the scripture a contained In
tho accepted book of book? Hy having
no fixed rule of faith, the l'roUtant
church or denomination of that church
allow It members to reason and think
for themselves, The converse 1 the
rule and policy of the Human Catholic
church. "Do not believe what you
read, but believe what I toll you.
Doubt nothing," It 1 thl blind un
reasoning faith In their master that
ha bound the masse of the Iloman
communicant In tho chain of Ignor
ance and trammeled free thought ftnd

"In union there is strength." Thl

the Iloman Catholic clement, and 1 the
wisest policy In every popular move

order of Freo Masonry 1 the enemy of
religion unity. It 1 the essence of
religious unity, as it embraces all re
ligion and creeds, i an educational
order and curries progress In it train.
Free Masonry In France and Italy has
enabled the people to shake off tho
withering hold of priestcraft and con
verted what aro nominally Iloman
Catholic nation into progressive and
enlightened people, Any secret order
outside of the Iloman Catholic com
munion is anathematized. The church
countenances Clan-na-Gaellsm, tho A.

tho Hoolety of Jesus, because they are
within Its pale, Free Masonry hat
nothing to do with the armed neutral

and the monarch lul system are at tho
bottom of the costly maintenance of
Huropean armies, to be done away with
as the republican spirit advances. The

will not affect the order any more than
