THE RELIGION OF HUMANITY

class, though," eaid Mr. Stafford.
visit a great deal among the more rt
fined poor of the big tenement houses.
My wife and I often take whole families
out into the country of a Sunday. This
is a way we hare, my wife and I, of
praising our God on the Sabbath; and,
now, I've shocked you, si., haven't I?"
"Not at all," said Father St John.
"I presume the families you takeout on
Sundays are ground down to the earth
by work on week days
"So close toearth," eaid Mr. Stafford,
"that the society of people of means, to
which I belong, believe our way the
surest way to lift their thoughts to
heaven on the Sabbath.
"The society to which I belong is
composed of men and women who are
pledged to give no money to churches,
nor to foreign missions. We never cry
down the churches, and we would scorn
to hold back the hand that thinks it is
its duty to give a Bible or a dollar to
the distant heathen. I think God will
take care of the heathen as he takes
care of the sparrows, which fall not to
the earth without his knowledge; but
that is neither here nor there; and we
are a society who believe in absolute
liberty of religious views. I can give
you our creed In a few words. First,
we believe in the Gospel as Christ
taught It, without the embellishments
of men; we believe in the communion of
mankind, for the mutual good and im
provement, rather than the communion
of saints; we believe that the beautiful
earth with its groves of trees for shelter,
its sublime ocean shores and its dome of
blue is the only temple He asks iris
creatures to worship Him In.
"Therefore, we do not see the need of
the grand edifices men call churches.
We think the vast sums of money which
it takes to build them could be put to
better use by being paid out in some
judicious way to enable the poor to take
up lands, or to be taught useful tradep,
rnd the money it takes to maintain
them In their luxury would give thou
sands of such dark little minds as those
yonder, a glimpse of the actual exist
'ence of the Supreme Being who created
us all. But, as I said before, I don't
wish to cry down the churches, and I
don't, a Perhaps the majority of the
world find a need for them; I do not;
but, in my humble eyesight, the great
est work of good I see in these grand
structures is, that the building of them
gave employment to men who needed
it. So the great sums of money in them
drew some interest.
"But what are we going to do with
the people who have to be restrained
from evil-doing by these churches and
these ministers?"
"Supposing we abolish them," said
Father St. John.
"The civil law would take care of
them, sir, just as it does now. Some of
the people today who are cjnfined in
our prisons for crime, are those who
have never been under the influence of
the churches, and others have been
taken right from its sheltering arms to
the places of the law's vindication
am nut prepared to say we should be
better off without the church. It is a
hard and delicate matter to judge what
is best for humanity, and it would be a
presumptuous thing for one man to say,
'don't go to the churches, you are better
off to stay away.' I have never eaid
that to acy human being. I can only
say that the society to which I belong,
and my blessed wife and I, who have
grown old together our children died
in infancy feel no need of them. Let
those who do, go to them and support
tbem."
"Some years ago, I pas9td a few days
in a little towntin the interior. On my
first evening, I saw great crowds of peo
ple goingi into the public hall of ibe
place. In answer to my Inquiries, I
was told that a big talker from a dis'
tant state was going to do up the Ad
vents. Asking for an explanation, I
learned that the five Protestant
churches of the place, the Episcopalian
excepted, had arrayed their forces
against the ;Seventh-day Adventlsts,
whom, I afterwards learned, have a
large number of adherents in the town
the state headquarters, I believe It is.
I went in with the crowd. Ididn'tstay
long, you may be sure, for such storms
of religious invective as were made use
of, on both sides, I had never listened
to before, and I hope never to hear
again.
"Each christian labored hard to con
vince the other that he and his follow
ers were an abomination In the sight of
the Lord each believed he was serving.
These meetings, which I have no doubt
strengthened the infidels In their unbe
lief, without strengthening the chris
tians In their presumed belief, lasted a
week. What the outcome was, I never
learned;but I looked at the town nes
tling in one of the most beautiful val
leys the lofty foothills of our state ever
formed; the lovely river flowing back of
it, the green.fields, the green trees, and
the big fruit farms, vineyards, and hop
yard, all around It; and I marvelled
that these people living in a spot
surrounded by the purest and beet gift
of the Creator, could find space in their
heart to wage such bitter war on each
other and call it tvrvlng God."
The shrill scream of a locomotive
echoed around the bills, and a coll
moke gave warning that the train was
coming, and the boys came clattering
up on the platform. One ragged urchin
had a last year' blrd's-nest In bis hand
and another a big bundle of flowers and
brake.
"Wfiat are you going to do with that.
my boy?" said Father St. John to the
one with the nest.
"I've got a little sister at home, si
who has never seen one in her life. I'm
going to take it to her."
"And, you, with that?" pointing to
the bundle of flowers.
"I'm taking 'em to my mother. She
told me, once, she used to live in the
country when she was a girl, so
ihougnt maybe shed be glad to see
some wild flowers again."
The kind old gentleman threw
meaning look at the priest as the train
came dashing up, and he marshaled his
crew Into the cars.
The Gospel of Christ as He taugLt It
without the embellishments of man
thought Father St. John, as the trai
bore him back to the city, and he
thought of the archbishop's silver jubl
lee of some six months ago. He saw
again the architectural beauty of the
cathedra) brought out by wreaths of
flowers and festoons of green, and the
altar blazing with tapers, and with
tiny crimson lamps gleaming among
the white lilies and shining bright on
the gold and silver vessels.
The music of the high pontifical mass.
which had filled him with religious
ecstasy, rang in his ears above the
rumble of the train. The slow, thrill'
ing cadence of the Miserere and the O
Cor Amoris at the elevation. This
scene had deeply Impressed the mind
of the young priest, and he had thought
it then a glorious tribute paid to God
To-day it came back to him in the long
rebound as a grand ovation to the
haughty prelate in whose honor it was
celebrated, and it came to him forcibly
now that the sermon he had listened to
that day was one long eulogy on the
Archbishop, the Church and the priest
hood, and their divine power and infal
libllity. On that day he had been
filled with great pride of heart that he
was one of that holy, infallible body
To-day he had the audacity to wonder
if all that pomp of worship and that
burning incense had ever reached
higher than the gilded dome of the
Cathedral.
"We believe In the Gospel as Christ
taught it," the old man had said.
In the history of those Gospels the
meek and lowly t-nrist nau never
preached In robes of cloth of gold and
silver, nor purple and fine linen; and
Father St. John thought of the fifteen
magnificent robes of office the wealthy
apostle of to-day had been presented
with, representing in their masses of
priceless lace and silk, and gold t nd
silver embroideries thousands of dol
lars, and the Son of God had walked
barefooted, and coarsely clad, doing the
work alloted him to do on earth, and
preaching the truth, in the green fields,
on the heights of mountains, and beside
the murmuring sea. What need had
Ha for a gold erozier In His healing
bands, and a jeweled m Iter on His noble,
humble head; and at that solemn, sad
last bupper, was the wine served in a
golden vessel, and did this self-sacrific
Iig Master and his ead, weary twelve
drink their last wine together In gold
and silver cups, that were worth a
king's ransom?
"Do ye this, ever in remembrance of
me," said that sweet, sad voice that
had brought the balm of Gilead to so
many wounded hearts, when the pall of
darkness that should be raised to give
light to the world was about to fall on
this devoted head. "The Gospel, with
out the embellishments of man,"
screamed the engine,as the train dashtd
into San Francisco; and as the priest
left the station, he caught a glimpse of
a tall man with a crowd of boys at his
heels, vanishing around a corner.
"I believe the world would be the
better with more such crank?," he mur
mured, as he, too, hurritd along.
CHAPTER XXI.
THE DEMON OF JEALOUSY.
It was the eve of the Lenten season.
Society was obliged to say au revoir for
forty long days to the darling gods of
fashion and revelry, but it had deter
mined to have at last madly, merry,
gorgeous frolic with them, and call it
the Mardi Gras ball.
FathertSt. John, his mind divided by
the thoughts of the solemn duties and
ceremonies of the church to be per
formed by him during the coming
Lenten season, and the ever-present
image of Flora Hume, sought the air
and freedom of the streets. He had not
seen the girl for several days, and he
did not mean to see her tonight; but,
instinctively, he sought the direction of
her home. As he neared the house, a
coupe dashed up to the gate. Father
St. John hastened his steps; he reached
the gate just in time to see a youth,
who looked like a Venetian gentleman
out of tome old painting, alight and
hasten into the house. Like a sudden
chill, the thouget of the Mardl Gras
ball came to the priest. Could Flora
be going to the ball with that fanta
tically arrayed youth? Impelled by hi
unreasoning jealousy and lore, Father
St. John hastened Into the bouse. In
response to hi ring, Margaret, in black
silk evening dress, came to the door.
"Pardon," he said, "you hare gueU
for the evening, I judge; am I intrud
ing?" Before Margaret could reply, Flora,
at the sound of hi voice, came into the
hall.
"You can never be an Intruder, Fa
ther St. John; come In a e mom anW.
We are going to the Mardi Uras ball,
but it Isyetearly."
The priest refused to be seated, say
ing he would not think of detaining
them. He spoke calmly, but in bis
heart he felt an unreasoning sense of
Injury, as he looked at the two young
people before him. Flora, as a nymph
of the sea, was dressed In rippling fold
of satin and bright wares of green,
flecked here and there with some gauzy
white substance. Little bits of coral
and pearl clung to her draieries and
mingled with the gauze of her head
dress. Under the gaze of the priest,
she turned as pink as the band of coral
that held her floating tresses back from
her brow.
"A sea nymph and a prince of the
city in the water; he said pleasantly
'I wish you a merry time with the gay
masquers at the carnival," and he took
his leave with a smile on his lips, and
despair and jealousy In his heart.
Flora had bojn persuaded by some of
her young acquaintances to attend the
ball. Margaret, herself, had urged It,
gladly sacrificing her quiet, home even
ing to act as her chaperon. Flora,
young as she was, was beginning to be
known in the city as a promising artist,
aside from the publicity she had gained
by her sweet singing, and several so
ciety ladies had expressed a wish to be
the first to introduce her into fashion
able society; but Margaret, while she
encouraged an occasional scene of gay
ety, deemed her too young for general
society, and Flora herself had shrank
from it. Once entered Into the spirit
of it, she had looked forward with
pleasure to the festivities of the Mardi
Gras ball, but the unexpected appear
ance of Father St. John just as she was
about to mingle with them, robbed the
gay scenes of the evening of half their
luster.
It was nearly nine o'clock, but the
priest, more perturbed In mind by this
last experience than when he had left
his own home, sipnaled a pAssiig hack
and ordered the driver to take blm to
the Cliff bouse. Arriving there,he gave
the man some silver, and telling him to
find food and shelter for himself and
horse, and to await him at the Cliff
house, he plunged down the sandy bank
to the sea shore, and Rung himself down
on the sand under the shelter of some
recks. The moon was at the full, and
the tumultuous waves rol Ing glistening
and angry on to the shore, and lashing
and covering the grim rocks with foam,
were In perfect accord witb the mood of
the unhappy, young prii st; and, as he
watched the vast writhing body before
him, he said aloud:
"Fret and roar as you will, your wild
unrest, like mine, must ever beat back
upon yourself."
Then he took to thinking of Flora
Hume as he had last seen her until his
imagination could see her plainly stand-
ng in her green rone, coral and pearl
ecked, on the great rocks, laughing
at the waters as they played around
her; and as he looked at her, a Vene
tian prince came and threw his arms
round her and they whirled away in a
mad dance.

JUKI A MONK.
Tbrua Wba I waprd f rom the lletel
Dleu, Montreal, Canada. Frith Ik
frlopmeul.
In the winter of 111 and 11' I the
celebrated Chan. Chlnlquy, commonly
called Father Chlnlquy, and now proW
bly the most famou cx-prlest In the
world a In Washington, I). C. Here
he delivered a rourto of nineteen lec
ture on Romanism. Ho was then In
hlP2nd year, being now 1. ''.', he would
be W year old.
It fell to my lot to verve as hi assist
ant and I wa with blm daily for about
three weeks. Being one day alone with
him in hi room, I asked whether he
knew anything about the story of Maria
Monk and her famou book, Awful Dl
closures, Chlnlquy wa aliout 21 year
old at the time of Mle Monk' escaiie,
In 135; and I knew that he had been
much In Montreal where the Hotel Dleu
I situated. He replied that he did, and
that one occasion, when he had become
too ill to continue hi arduous laUir a
a priest and "Apostle of Temperance,"
as he was often called, hi bishop sent
him to that very hotel to take some
needed rest, saying to him: "The sister
will give you a room, and nurse you
tenderly, and you will soon recover your
usual health." While he was there a
very old nun often came into his room
to minister to hi' wants; and one day
he asked her whether she knew any
thing of the story of Maria Monk. She
replied that she was well informed on
that subject, and had read her hook,
Awful Disclosures." "Well now, "says
Chlnlquy "wore you here during the
time when she claimes to have been
here?" "Yes," she said, "I was here
nd I knew her well." "Then," says
he, "I wish you would tell me whether
tho awful statements she has made of
deeds done In this nunnery wore true.'
Upon this question, the old nun was
greatly agitated and begged to bo ex
cused from answering; but on being
pressed for an answer, consented, pro
vided ho would promise never to reveal
anything bIio said until after her death.
He promised, and she then stated that
Miss Monk's statements In that book
were true; and says she, "I have seen
worse thlngsidone here than anything
that she has told."
My attention was again turned to the
Maria Monk affair, by seeing a little
phamphlet recently published in Lon
don, Enir., by a Catholic house., endeav
oring to provo that Miss Monk's Aw
ful Disclosures were a fraud. I read
tho phampblct through; but it does not
seom to me to disprove any part of her
story. Besides, this statement of the
Rev. Chlnlquy is a direct confirmation
of the truth of Miss Monks story, new
evldenco, which I have never before
seen published.
But I have just received, most un-
exiiectedly, some very interesting and
very reliable statements from unother
source.
While Friend Traynor, State Presi
dent of the A. P. A., was In this city
no ntly, he gave me the name of a Rev.
gentleman now living In New YorkCity
from whom valuable information con-
rning Miss Monk might be obtained.
I wrote to him, and received substanti
ally tho following: That It was his
mother, who first protected Miss Monk,
when she arrived in that city after her
cape from Montreal in the year 1835.
He Bays: "It was extremely difficult
to select a relugo with any promise of
safety, as spies wt re akrt and numer
ous, and danger of discovery was in-
rea.sing." The name of this protectrix
was Mrs. Sarae W. Rreves, famous for
er beauty, breadth of mind, dauntless
courage, and sublimity of character,
combined with such lovable traits and
womanly graces as commended her for
this charge in a time of great peril
Her love of justice, hatred of wrong
nd unfaltering devotion to humanity
icided the question, and watchman
Hogan seized a favorable opportunity,
and secretly hurried Maria Monk to
Mrs. Reeve's residence where she and
Mrs. Hogan welcomed her atmldnight.
She was immediately secreted on the
top floor, previously prepared for her,
which she occupied for months, wherej
when restored to health and strength,
6he wrote her famous book, Awful Dis
closures." "The truths it contained Vere ter
ribly emphasized by the subsequent
xcitement, and flood of vituperation
with malignant persecution, coupled
with threats of assassination."
"It is idle folly to attempt to discredit
her book In the face of the venomous
fury aroused, and the consternation
hich forced the leading minds of the
Roman Catholic church into the con
troversy." Maria Monk at length tired of her
captivity, and one day Incautiously ap
proached a window, and was rccog-
ized."
That night a mob beseiged the
house, demanding her immediate sur
render." "They were dispersed, and
another mob appeared the next day,"
The third day, Fifth street from
Avenue D to Avenue C was filled by a
frenzied mob of howling fanatics (Ro
man Catholics), who threatened to raze
the house to the ground, unless Miss
Monk was surrendered at once. Mrs.
Recvo preferred to tako chances rather
than surrender. So the neighbors ral
lied and guarded the house until Miss
Monk was safely .conducted to other 1
quarter threw days later. Mr
mother often repeated thl story, but
had I received your Inquiry five weeks
aooner, I amid hare given some tart
ling detail," for hi mother died jiut
fire week ago.
"The word quoted are as I received
them from the son of this heroic mother.
If Mis Monti was not an cm-aped nun,
why did the priesW stir, up Romish
mob to recapture her? And If those
convent are not place of lewdness and
wickedness, why did Pope Innocent
VIII. publish a bull demanding refor
mation In monasteries and other relig
ious place, and declare that "member
of monasteries and other f religious
house lead a lascivious and truly dis
solute life."
Why Is It that all escacd nuns tell
the same story of those prisons?
For my jiart, I should deem It truly
wonderful that these escaped women
should all agree so well, though wholly
unknown o each othor, and living In
widely different times and far remote
from one another. Every lawyer ac
customed to sift and wolgb evidence,
knows woll that witnesses cannot so
agree In all the essentials of a story as
these escaped nun do, unless they are
telling the truth.

In the world. The boy or girl who has
read it, will not bo likely to bo beguiled
Into the dens of Romanism.
