the multitudinous phaea of modern i
Infidelity are nothing more than the '
galvanized ghrt8 of cecturks long
since dead. The advocate of thtee
skeptical doctrines gratify their vanity
at the expense of truth. They are
wielding the cast-off ard broken weap
on of a defeated paeanli-m. Well ha

strange that each generation must pa
rade the same dead things In nw
dressee, and cot only affirm that they
are alive, but actually affect many peo
ple by sheer Impudence and sublime
Ignorance. Its chief weapons are ridi
cule and scorn, ry taking some half
truth and making it the butt of just
and jeer. A fool and a scoffer can pro
duce a popular laugh; a coarse laugh
or a distorted truth, a bit of sarcasm,
will disfigure the beautiful face of truth
to the unbelieving and Immoral. J
When the French infidel said to the
Verdean peasant: "We will pull don
your churches, destroy your pictures,
and demolish everything that reminds
you of God," the peasant replied: "But
you will leave us the stars." And
long as the stars revolve and shine, so
long the heavens shall declare the
glory of God, and the firmament shall
show his handiwork. Chiseled upon
marble tablet in the wall of the obser
vatory at Willlamstown College are the
words of Isaiah: "Lift up your eyes o
high and behold who hath created
these things, that brlngeth out their
host by number: he calleth them all by
names by the greatness of his miht
for that he is strong in power; not one
faileth." Isaiah xl, 26. This was the
prophet's call to the skeptics of his
time, and it is as timely to day as it was
then. The French officers could dia
pute and deny the existence of a Cre
ator, as they sailed down the Mediter
ranean beneath the splendors of the
evening skies; but when Napoleon,
wearied of their babble, pointed up
ward to the myriad stars above them
and said, "And very well, gentlemen
dui wno made au tneser' they were
silent, as all atheists must be.
Protestant Christianity embodies the
august moral and spiritual verities of
divine revelation. Much of modern
skepticism is a revolt against the mon
strous and blasphemous assumptions of
. the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The
whole system of the papacy is so mani
festly unscriptural, unreasonable, in
human, barbaric and diabolical that it
can only thrive among the ignorant,
superstitious and Immoral. The re
sponsibility for the widespread infidel
ity in France and Italy to day is di
rectly traceable to the moral and spir
itual blight of Romanism. Romanism
can endure the light of neither reason,
history nor the Bible. As a rule, infi
delity and immorality go hand in hand.
As Rome is responsible for 70 per cent
of all our crime, she is likewise account
able for a like proportion of popular
and Ignorant unbelief. Thank God
truth Is getting her boots on, and will
soon chafe every papal and unreason
ing lie back into its native hell, and at
the same time emancipate man by the
enthronement of Him whose truth
Protestant Christianity seeks to em
body.
RITUALISM.
Another peril Is also found in the
growth of ritualism. Noticing with
pain tne prevailing tendency in some
of our churches to identify religion with
attitudes, forms, ceremonies, v'glls,
fe'asts, fasts, vestments, music, candles,
colors, incense, sacrifices, and so forth,
I cannot but raise my voice In protest
against such outrages, justly contend
ing, since "the kingdom of heaven is
within us," that religion is not dept nd
ent upon outward ecclesiastical observ
ances, that all the sacred trumpery in
the world cannot take the place of
mercy, righteousness and truth.
The religion of Christ, I need
scarcely say, is not a religion of ru
brics, rituals, creeds, surplices, or cere
monials, but quite the contrary a re
ngion so iree, so simple, so true, so
natural, so.tender, so pure, so pleasant
and so blessed in its unfoldinga that "a
child," and not a parchment doctor of
divinity, is the perfect pattern of its
priesthood. B The life of Christ was a
perpetual protest against the rigorous
exactions of Pharisaical formalism,
which, confounding the letter with the
spirit of the law, made the "white sep
ulchre" of death the mcdel of devotion
for depravity.
About the "meek and lowly" Jesus
there was nothing of ostentation or dls
play either in dress, In doctrine, in de
portment, or in character; and, so far
fi cm being a ritualist in the modern
sense of the term, His mission was to
put an end to ritualism, to abolish new
moons, phylacteries and sabbaths, to
give the finishing blow to Jewhh rites
and ceremonials, 'and to make sacrifi
cial offering for rain and sacrificing
priests forevermore impossible. In His
first miracle, by" turning water into
wine, He gave to the lifeless, cold ob
servances of " priestly ministrations an
inward, reviving, spiritual application;
and by His death, when the veil of the I
temple was rent in twain. He Unshed
: vne worn or man s redemption. He es-
' tahlihfd the brotherhood of the human
! race, He removed the distinction be-
tween pries and layman, opening
i by doing so the kingdom of heaven
all believer. What Christ did In per
son whiU on earth I now continued in
His absence by the more pervasive In-
fkeneeof the Holy Spirit, opcratin
everywhere unseen within the sanctu
ary of the human breast. And,
Christ was opposed to ritualism In his
day, the same may bo said of the Spirit
under whose dispensation we are
present living, whk-h, like tlm wind
"blowing where It liteth," is no re
specter of persons; and which may be
said, acco-dingly, to have neither rite
nor ritual, neither division nor distinc
tion, neither posture, form nor color, i
It comprehensive ministration. Christ
the man of poverty was a reformer, the
grandest that ever lived; and because
He was no less opposed to formal rites
and ceremonies than U the tyranny of
the priests who proflte J by them, that
was just the very reason why the
scribes and pharisees of Hi day, whose
vicious practices He condemned, could
not endure Him. Carnally minded
men, puffed up by insolence and pride,
and living more in the outer than in
the inner man, require a sensuous serv
ice to beautify corruption and hide the
deformity that lurks within; and be
cause the glamor of smoking altars, by
holy tallow caudles decorated, is to
them more edifying than the religion
of the heart, by the seven fold gifts of
the Spirit of God illuminated, the
lights above to the lights beneath must
be subjected; in other words, the blessed
light of day must be excluded to cole
brate the funeral of God in pantomime.
There are many roads that lead to
Rome, but none is more popular in
England and America than the one
called "Ritualism." The substitution
of form for faith, ceremony for Christ,
rubrics for religion, a wafer for God.
Candle and clothes are innocent in
themselves, but when they become the
sign of p-inclples and practices un
primitive, unscriptural, dangerous,
false and sacrilegious, they are matters
of grave concern. All such Romish
tendencies are to be repudiated with
every nerve and fibre of our religious
conviction; for Romarism is simply a
galvanized paganism, a counterfeit
Christianity.
All know the similarity of Romish
and Buddhish worship. The worship
is similar and equally imposing. One
eye-witness describes the sight he saw
in a Buddhist temple: There stood
fourteen priests seven on each side
of the altar erect, motionless, with
clasped hands and downcast eyes, their
shaven heads and flowing gray robes
adding to their solemn appearance.
The low and measured tones of the
slowly moving chant they were singing
might have awakened solemn emotions,
too, and called away the thoughts from
worldly objects. Three priests kept
time with the music, one heating an
immense drum, another a large iron
vessel, and a third a wooden ball.
After chantirg, they kneeled upon low
stools and bowed before the colossal
image of Buddha, at the same time
striking their heads upon the ground.
Then, rising and facing each other, they
began slowly chanting some sentences,
and rapidly Increasing the music and
their utterances, until both were at the
climax of rapidity: they diminished in
the same way until they had return
to the original measure. In the mean
time, some or tne number could not
restrain their curiosity, and even while
chantirg and counting their beads,
left their places to ask for book The
whole service reminded me forcibly ot
scenes in Romish chapels the shaven
heads of the priests, their long robes,
mock solmnity, frequent prostrations,
chantings, beads; yea, and their idols,
too, all suggest their types, or their
antitypes, in the apostate church.
v hat real difference exists between
our advanced ritualistic church service
and that of the church of Rome? It
reminds one of the story told by a Ro
man Catholic priest at Clifton, who
asked one of his friends why he did not
attend the Catholic chaoel. He re
plied that he bolonged to the Anglican
church, and worshipped at , naming
a well-known Protectant church. The
priest smiled: "Now, my good friend,"
e said, "you only have mock-turtle at
your hybrid place of worship; come
and have the real turtle in mine." The
friend reflected, and took the priest's
advice.
Protestant Christianity stands as an
emphatic protest against sacerdotalism,
or a sacrificial priesthood. It repudi
ates as unscriptural the vicarious
sacrifices and pardoning powers of mere
men. It also stands to resist the doc
tri nes of transubstantiatlon and auric
ular confession. Better that our people
reel back Into barbarism and savagery
than to be led back into the intolerable
tyranny of an unscrupulous and las
civious priesthood. Our times demand
a church with deep doctrines, wide
sympathies, keen appreciation of Chris
tian virtue mand unselfish service; a
church which embodies the Caristianity
of Christ; such is found alone in the
Protestant religion. God save us from
the fatal folly of flirting with the holy
mother of harlots, the church of Rome?
ProUistant.'sm failing? One of our
exchanges says: "Just before leaving

gregation a set mon on, "I ProU stant

al'l, "if we are candid, if we are de

time, It certaln'y Is; not by the acces

the Catholic principle Involving the
Catholic claim in the church of Eng

The A. P. A. Magazine.
Protestant America many are drifting
in like manner toward the church of
Rome. It has recently boen asserted
that during the past twenty years
Protestantism has been a failure in
New York city. Among the Episcopal
churches of this city (Chicago), troubles
are brewing over rapid and radical
Romish tendencies. In the church at
Ravens wood the worshipers bow to
the altar and address the rector as
father. On the walls of St. Lukn's and
the Church of the Ascension, pictures
portraying the stations of the cross are
displayed. The auricular confessional
Is also a feature In the Church of the
Ascension, and Is practiced in a quiet
manner In other churches. The early
celebrations in these churches are
qi'iet and plain, and are attended by
the faithful. The 11 o'clock service on
Sunday Is designated as "high mass,"
and is celebrated In All Saints', Ascen
slon and St. Luke's parishes, with all
the pomp and display of the Roman
church. In some of the churches
priestly absolution is taught, and mass
for the souls of the departed is said
under the auspices of All Souls' Guild
From what has already been said, it
must be apparent to all that Romanism
is the supreme peril to American Prot
estantism. It is remarkable that the
second step in the investigation of im
migration, intemperance, Immorality,
infidelity or ritualism, brings you face
to face with the papacy. All menacing
powers find hospitality here. That a
crisis Is pending between Protestantism
and the papacy Is the deenest convic
tion of the most careful students of our
times. This collision Is not arbitrary
or capricious, but natural and Inevi
table. It originates in the fundamental
antagonisms between the principles,
spirit, purpose and plan of Protestant
Christianity and the Romish hler-
rchy. Beyond a certain point these
two sets of principles cannot live at
peace in the same country and among
the same people. That point has been
reached. Wise and patriotic men see
the Incompatibility between our free
institutions and this papal hierarchy,
ana are determined at all hazards to
preserve the Institutions which were
bum, nurtured and matured by E'an
geiical Christian ttv. Romanism is the
religion of a church: Protestantism is
the religion of a baok. Infallibility of
the church means the slavery of the
individual; but infallibility of the Bible
means personal liberty and growth.
Protestantism is a revolt against the
absolutism of Rome. The papacy de
thrones both God and Ciesar by declar
ing that it is both church and state.
Protestants refuse to believe that this
pitiless despotism has been metamor
phosed into republicanism.
Is Protestantism anarchy? A sharp
editorial in the Catholic Mirmr for Jan
uary 6th, 1894, gives a list of prominent
anarchist periodicals now published:
In France nine, one in Algiers, three in
Belgium, six in London, three in Buenos
Ayres, ten in Germany, four in Holland,
seven in Italy, two in Brazil, seven in
Spain, one In Chill, one in Bohemia,
three in the United States; a tHal of
fifty six. The reader may be inclined
to think that the above indicates that
anarchism thrives best under Roman
Catholic Influence: but such is not the
opinion of the Mirror, as the following
from its editorial will show: "These
publications are only the feeble indica
tion of the widespread evil which is
threatening our modern society with
ruin, but they are a powerful means of
diffusing socialist and anarchist ideas

awaken society out of its lethargy.
That same society has sowed the seed,
it will reap the harvest. Trace back
that anarchy, that subversion of everv
order, social, moral and religious, and
you will find its parent in Protestant-

previous errors. Protestantism is a
protest; so Is anarchy, hut the latter
