LIXWOOD'S SEJiSiTlON.
School Board Will Not Grant the 1'rajer
of the 350 Petitioners.
WbetJ. Osborn stepped up to the
council table of the Lin wood Board of
Education last Saturday evening- and
brought from his packet a petition of
350 names that unrolled 1 tie If down the
long table, the scene strongly smacked
of a stage drama, especially as young
Osborn followed up his first action with
a short but impassioned appeal to the
board to set its seal of approval upon
the sentiments contained in or repre
sented hy the petition. Readers of the
lima-Star need scarcely be informed
that the cause of this unusual scene in
a Lin wood School Board meeting was
the decision of the board to discontinue
the repeating of the Lord's Prayer, or
any other prayer or religious txerclse,
at the school, mention of which was
given in tnese columns twice last week
Rev. 1. 1. Gorby, pastor of Calvary
Presbyterian Church, was chosen to
champion the petition before the board,
and he did it ably. He denied that in
'the act of repeating prayers in the vil
lage schools the statutes of Ohio were
being violated in regard to sectarian'
teaching. Strange, then, that Ohio's
lawmaking bodies, the senate and house
of representatives, were opened' with
prayer, as were state political conven
tionsall likely to be composed of
Christian and atheist, Jew and Gentile.
He had admired the Catholics for their
belief that religion was a necessary part
of a child's education. He expressed
his fears of a community dominated by
people who had lacked religious train
ing in their childhood.
Mr. J. A. De Armond, ex member of
the board, intimated that he wished he
was a member again. He would know
his duty, and it would be to respect that
petition so largely signed by the best
people of the village, who resented the
sudden, uncalled-for abolishment of a
school custom of twenty years' standing.
Mr. E. F. Rardon of the board then
Bpoke. The petition champloners were
hoping that he would reverse his vote
of the week before, for Messrs. Forbes
and LeBlond were accepted as immov
ables. Mr. Rardon Is past worshipful
master of the Linwood Masonic lodge,
and has for years been a teacher of
Bible classes in Columbia and Linwood.
Consequently his course in the school
board has been the cause of consider
able comment all of the past week. His
consciousness of this no doubt impelled
him to speak $ out in meeting, All
thoughts of his wavering were dispelled
immediately when he spoke his first
sentence. "I intend voting to-night as
I did last Saturday night. I do It from
a firm conviction that I am right, and
that all who are now opposing me will
yet acknowledge their error. There
are none in Linwood more firm in their
belief of the Bible than I am, nor any
more anxious ! to see their children
raised up In its teachings than I. But
the church and the home are the places
for that, and myjfchildren receive It
thoroughly at both places. I believe
in crushing such troubles as these .at
the beginning. The majority should
not force their views to obtain in the
free schools. tj Now a nun Is eligible to
teach here, but I shouldn't wish one
of them to teach my children "
A vote on granting the prayer of the
petition was lost 3 to 2. Then Rev.
Mr. Gorby announced his intention of
denouncing measures, though not men,
from his pulpit.
Seen Sunday, Mr. Gorby said: "This
affair did not end, as far as I am con
cerned, Saturday night I have already
begun hunting up-all authorities on the
subject. We shall see what 'sectarian'
means. I am now very hot on this sub
ject, and will not talk on this subject
from the pulpit while I am. But in two
weeks I will be cooled down as well as
prepared thoroughly. Then, look out. "
Ex-Priest Daly's Lectures.
The Butte (Mont.) Examiner of Sept.
'21 makes the following highly compli
mentary remarks ancnt Mr. Daly's re
cent lectures In that city:
"Through some unforeseen circum
stances, foriwhich we are even now un
able to account, the report of the lec
tures delivered at the Auditorium in
this city by theabove-named excellent
. gentleman mysteriously disappeared
last week, and, although our intention
was to giVc our readers a synopsis of
the learned gentleman's teachings,
through the loss of copy we are unable
to do so. Therefore, we can but say
the large audierce attending each
lecture was treated to a discourse un
equaled for brilliancy, wisdom, patriot
ism and sound advice by any other
speaker we have ever listened to in the
field of A. P. A.ism. Mr. Daly has
facts at his tongue's end, and the abil
ity to explain them, while at the same
time couching them in language of
rhetorical beauty. He who missed one
of Mr.' Daly's lectures missed an oppor
tunity of enlightenment that may
neveroccur again. Owing to lcknea
in his family, the reverend gentlemao
curtailed hi stay among us to a few
short days, and then retook himself to
Chicago, where be will continue In the
lecture field. We envy Chicago the
pleasure of his wise counsels."
Those who wish to secure his services
may address him at 15 Center avenue,

"How persons of average intelligence
can remain faithful (?) adherents of
such an Institution Romanism is more
than I am able to comprehend."
So fays the writer of an able article
In The American of September 19th,
on the fourth page. Permit me to
make a few remarks on this appar
ently Incomprehensible thing. We
have not any desire to quarrel with
Rome about her religion, but It is nec
essary to test her religion in the light
of revelation and history in order to
know her real character. But It is a
mystery that a man, even without edu
cation, having a little common sense,
can believe the doctrines, support and
practice the absurdities and debasing
idolatries of-the Church of Rome! The
heathen know better than to do such
things. It cannot be explained by
means of what Is In the most depraved
of the human race; for the popes and
the priests 0 Rome, in their delusions,
cruelty and notorious crimes, have out
stripped the i basest cf the heathen.
There are streaks of kindness in the
untutored savage. But how can we
explain the fact that a professedly
Christian church, and one claiming to
be the only true) apostolic church, has
outstripped the'beathen In cruelty and
perBecution?oInsplratlon has described
her in the L impressive language,
"drunken with theblood of saints and
martyrs ofiJesus."
And what is mobt'mysterlous of all,
popes, cardinals and learned bishops of
the nineteenth icectury advocate, and
tach and practice these "damnable
heresies" before the American people.
And they tell us Ithis is the only true
religion!
John marveled when he saw the
"woman drunken with the blood of the
eaints." When "I saw her I wondered."
Romanism is one of the marvels of this
enlightened age. x, What man could be
so wi ked,and,-.put on such a brazen
front as to teach all the abominations
of popery and ask the American people
to accept it as the Jreliglon of Christ?
How shall we explain it? Such crafti
ness, skill, deep-laid schemes of wick
edness, bold t demands, blasphemous
claims and crimes, all in the name of
religion, cannot well be accounted for,
except through the .agency of satan.
Thus we explain the existence of such
an awful impobture as the Church of
Rome in our midst, maintaining itself
in defiance of God's; testimony aeainst
it as the "mother of harlots" against
all light andlearnlng, deceiving and
seducing even some of our most learned
statesmen and politicians, yea, putting
a mask over the eyes of some of our
Protestant ministers, and that after
the papal beast basldrenched the earth
with the blood of the saints for a thou
sand years dethroned kings, demoral
ized many nations with her sorceries,
and inaugurated riot and revolution
everywhere. And all this is before us
in the glaring records of history. We
explain the existence, wickedness,
cruelty and tenacity of life of this
power which is "exceeding dreadful,"
by the fact that.satan is its author and!
powerful supporter. We cannot be
lieve there are skill, power and per
versity enough in ithe most depraved of
the human race tojbe the author of a
system not only Impious but wholly
destitute of humanity. But the devil
is the author of all the false and Idola
trous religions of the world, and he is
the object of their worship! Think of
it! Worshiping the devil! And he
demands the worship. He had the im
pudence to ask the Son of God to fall
down and worship him. Would notthe
devotees of a false religion be afraid
and ashamed if they could see things
in a true light and know that they
were worshiping the devil? Such wor
ship God will not accept; he will accept
and honor no worship but what he has
appointed. Marvel not, reader, the
devotees of a false religion worship the
dragon. "And they worshiped the
dragon which gave power unto the
beast." Rev. xiii, 4. Rome pagan is
called a "great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns." Rev. xii, 3.
Papists admit that this "great red
dragon" is the pagan empire, named
after the dragon because he was the
founder. A dragon is an emblem of
satan and his agents, and these pagan
persecutors were satan's agents and
properly called by his name. Satan is
the power behind the throne! Rev.
xiii, 2: '!And the dragon gave him
his power, and his seat, and great
authority." Romanism has been called
the masterpiece of satan. And It would
seem that nothing less than satanlo
power and cunning could have in
vented and maintained for to long a
time such a notorious Imposture a the
Church of Home. What we write Is
not speculation and sectarian bigotry,
but God, who knows, ascribes it to satan
as its author. Speaking of the antl
Christlao empire under the symbol of
a beast, it is said to "ascend out of the
bottomless pit and go into perdition. "
Rev. xvll, 8. It originated in bell and
will receive its doom there.
The controversy between Ch rist Ian Ity
and paganism is figuratively described in
Rev. xii, 7 9, where the dragon was at
the bead of the pagan party but was do
feated. "And the great dragon was
cast out, that old serpent, called the
devil and satan, which deccivcth the
whole world." Paganism was over
thrown for a time, but satan rallied
his forces and got into power again by
the invention of popery. lie is the
arch-enemy of God and man and is the
ringleader in all antl-ChrUtlan
schemes, and is never more a devil
than when he appears as an angel of
light in the name of religion, but only
to destroy Christianity. Christ, in his
epistle to the Church of Smyrna, Rev.
il, 10, says: "Fear none of those things
which thou shalt suffer; behold, the
devil shall cast some of you Into prison,
that ye may be tried."
Of course he did it by his agents.
Those who burn men at the stake are
working for the devil! Yes, they are!
Christ never left orders to burn to
deatn men who rejected the gospel,
much less those who refused to wor
ship idols! But satan goes about as a
"roaring lion," hunting for heretics,
that is, the saints of God. When he
hears the truth preached he roars, and
no doubt he would raise an obstreperous '
roar at even the sight of one of the A.
P. A .'s!
Satan's agents are very busy now in
their opposition to true religion, good
government and good citizenship.
"And I saw three unclean spirits like
frogs come out of the mouth of the
dragon, and out of the mouth of the
beast, and out of the mouth of the
false prophet. For tboy are the spirits
of devils working miracles, which go
forth unto the kings of the earth and
of the whole world, to gather them to
the battle of that great day of God
Almighty." Now, reader, don't call
me an "old fogy" and a fanatic because
I quote Scripture. I do it not asa sec
tarian, but to show the American peo
p'e the "great dragon" at their very
dflors and their great political enemy.
The Bible is God's truth or satan's lie,
but It must be Gcd's truth, the devil Is
so opposed to It. Without the Bible,
moral night would cast its damning
shade over the whole earth. But with
a free Bible, free schools, free pulpit,
free press, we can make it hot for the
devil. But well does Paul say: "Put
on the whole armor of God, tbat ye
may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil. For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of the world,
against spiritual wickedness In high
places." Eph. vl. Now, with this view
of the matter, the existence of popery
is explained. "The depths of satan"
are behind it. Hence we contend not
only with the lowest forms of human
depravity and the deep-laid schemes
of Jesuitism, but with the lion of hell,
But thank God, "the Lion of the tribe
cf Judah" is on our side and will event
ually crush the dragon and all his emis
saries. We repeat, we have no quar"
rel with Rome merely as a religious
sect, but we allude to religion and his
tory to show what a terrible power con
fronts us and to arouse men to a sense
o.' duty and danger, and that all friends
of home and country would come over
to the Lord's side, if not already there.
How can any Intelligent person be in
different? How can a Protestant min
ister look at the situation and be silent
and only smile in contempt? Moment
ous scenes await this nation. When
we look at some prophetic numbers, we
are apprehensive that 1896 will intro
duce us to scenes that will make strong
men tremble. We hope not, but the
final issue must como. The fall of
Babylon is future, but it will not always
be future. This Is not a sectarian
logomachy, but with Americans it is
a question of "pope or president;" It in
volves everything to a Christian free
man. If it were merely a religious
question we would say to Rome: "Go
on with your 'Paternosters' and genu
flections; we will not molest you. But
our liberties, religion and very exist
ence as a nation are threatened. We
have a republic to-day, but liberty is
no safeguard. Liberty is an open door
to ruin, unless coupled with sound
principles, virtue and patriotism in the
hearts of the people. This nation, to
livo and prosper, must bo Protestant.
We must maintain our free institutions
against the attack of a corrupt and
tyrannical priesthood a set of public
blood-sucker. If any think that the
A. P. A. and kindred societies are po
litical junUis, ephemeral, and will van
Ish like a vapor, they are grandly mis
taken. Americans, awake, before it is
too late! The enemy of all you hold
dear ts at your gate! Are Americans
blind? Do they not know "this unclr-
curaclsed Philistine that dofle i the
armies of the living God?" CALVIN.
Ecclesiastical, I iiamerlcun Sentiment.
The Tribune prints elsewhere some
remarks made at New York this week
by Archbishop Corrigan and by Bishop
Messmerof Green Bay, Wis., in de
fense of the alleged right of the pope
to be the (wlltical King of Rome against
the wishes of the Romans themselves
and of the Italian people.
There cannot be many Catholics, if
they are true Americans, who will en
dorse sentiments so contrary to the
rights of man the principles of the
Declaration of Independence and the
fundamental institutions of this country
- as those enunciated by these two
ecclesiastics. Ono of them says the
pope "must be the ruler of a temporal
torritory. Ho must be pope-king."
Listen to thoso citizens of America
preaching the , doctrine of absolute
monarchy. "What of it," says Bishop
Messmer, "even If the people of Rome
did vote not to have the pope for their
ruler?" It means a great deal from
the American point of vlow. It means
that be ought not to bo their ruler.
The people of Italy have decreed that
they want Rome as their political capi
tal and the Romans as their fellow
citizens. Tho Romans havo tald they
wanted to form part of the constitu
tional monarchy of Italy and their city
to be its political capital. That dis
poses of the matter as far as all true
Americans are concerned. Tney are
not in favor of forcing a ruler on an
unwilling people. The American Dec
laration of Independence says
Governments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed; that when
ever any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends (the securing
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness It is the right of 'h3 people to
a ter or to abolish it and to institute
a new government.
'.The citizens of Rome and of Italy
have only 3one what this Immortal
doctrine, uttered 120 years ago, author
ized them to do viz.: adopted home
rule. The Romans are more averse to
papal political domination noff than
they were twenty-five years ago. A
new generation has grown up which
has tasted some of the sweets of human
political liberty. If the Italian nation
were to say to the Romans of the cap
ital: "Take another vote, elect another
ruler, and we will not Interfere, no
matter If you choose tho pope," he
would get only a fraction of tbelr votes.
For the Romans do not want bim as
their king. If he were put over the it
by France or Austria or Spain as king
he would have to get an army to fight
for him to keep them from casting him
out. Withdraw that hired army and
his throne would be overturned imme
diately. My kingdom is not of this
world, declared Christ. Archbishop
Corrigan says "no lapse of time will
ever make that right which is against
the principles of justice and charity."
That is, it is against justice and charity
for the Romans to have a voice in the
choice of the man who rules and taxes
them! The archbishop, who is an Irish
man, believes in home rule for Ireland,
but not for Rome. The people of Rome
do not stand as high in his estimation
as those of Dublin. He is inconsistent
and he is un-American In the position
ho takes. It is pitiful to see the high
est religious dignitary in the greatest
city of the mightiest free nation preach
ing the doctrines of the dark, despotic
ages when the common people had no
rights which kings and bishops felt
bound to respect, and who taught that
the people are the subjects of divinely
appointed rulers. Chicago Tribune.
The Present Position of French Protes
tantism. An Influential French Protestant,
writes a correspondent of the Christian
World, lately remarked: "Our church
In France has not yet got over the
crushing and intimidating effects of the
persecutions which followed the Revo
cation of the Edict of Nantes. Our pas
tors are still too timid, too much afraid
of asserting themselves, and too back
ward to maico adequate effort for ren
dering Protestantism once more a great
power in the land, as it was in the days
of Calvin andColigny." There is much
truth In these words.
For not only do both Romanists and
agnostics actively oppose Protestant
ism, and sjek everywhere in Franco to
give it a "back seat," but the pastors
scjni far too willing to bo contented
with such a position. And to make
mutters worse,' the Protestants there
have for a long time been too much di
vided amongst themselves. Whereas,
being but a very small minority,
amougst an overwhelming multitude
of Romanist and agnostics, they
should have closed up their ranks and
manifested boldly that "union is
strength."
However, a derided Improvement has
latterly taken place. And one evidence
of this Is afforded by the establishment
of a newspaper, Le Signal, for the suc
cess of which French Protestants have
heartily united. Tbey were stirred up
to this action by several publlo-splrltcd
persons, amongst whom may bo spe
cially mentioned M. Michael Vasseur,
who is the Paris agent for several evan
gelical and philanthropic societies, and
whose Bible and Tract Depot in the
Place du Theatre Francals is a sort of
beaoon-llght of goe-l truth and litera
ture in the very ventre of the metrop
olis, close to the Louvre and the Palais
Royal. M. Vasseur urged it upon his
co-religionlsls that God designs butter
things for them than that they should
bo, as hitherto, a prosperous but quietly
non-aggressive body of merchants, pro
fessional men and scholars; rather that
they should awaken to a sense of tho
responsibilities devolving upon them to
hold up amongst their countrymen the
light of a pure gospel and to organize
active evangelistic missions. These
appeals by M. Vasseur and others have
met with an encouraging response; and
the establishment of Ijt Signal was one
of the results. This Is a newspaper of
high character, with an able editorial
staff, and, although it has only been in
existence for about three years, it has
already done much to elevate Protes
tantism in the 'popular estimation.
Tliechlof seat of French Protestantism
is In the South, around Nismes and Mon
tauban'and the Cevennes Mountains,
which twoconturiesago witnessed such
terrible persecutions and such heroic
fidelity of the Protestants. In that part
of the country, too, the pastors and peo
ple retain more of the old Calvlnlsllc
form of doctrine than is the case
amongst their brethren in Paris and
the North. But they now live peace
ably with their Romanist neighbors,
and are not only protected, but subsi
dized, by the state. For in France the
state pays, with impartial hand, a
small salary to the regularly ordained
ministers of the Roman, the Protestant
and the Jewish denominations alike.
The amount is small, averaging about
a pound a weckj though sometimes
more and sometimes less; and it is sup
plemented (or not) by the congrega
tions, according to their inclination and
ability.
Quiet prosperity is a characteristic
feature of the French Protestants at
any rate in the cities. They are suc
cessful medical men, lawyers, profess
ors, merchants, tradesmen and so forth,
whilst some of them have become, ac
tive politicians and statesmen. But In
all those capacities their Protestantism
has generally been a thing apart, prl
vat3, and little, if at all, avowed or
made prominent.
Meanwhile they havo cherished a
most respectful memory for the hero
ism and fidelity of their martyred fore
fathers. Indeed, this retrospictlve at
titude has been, and still is, a chief
weakness of French Protestantism.
They have lived too much in the past,
and too little in the present, at least in
regard to religious matters. Such a
course is very easy and pleasant; but it
does not .serve the existing needs of
God's world and church anywhere.
In some of the cit ies the services are
limited to ono weekly address on Sun
day forenoons, a time convenient to the
more prosperous class, but not to the
shopkeepers, the servants and the poor.
Hence ono reason for the very slow in
crease of French Protestantism. How
ever, it does increase, having doubled
Its numbers during this century. But
it is stated that this is, in considerable
degree, owing to the immigration of
many German.'Alsatian and Swiss Prot
estants into .France.
A great stimulus was given to Prot
estantism, especially in Paris, by the
late Mr. McAU. In general, the
French, of all classes, are Indisposed to
accept foreigners, and especially Eng
lishmen, as religious instructors. But
they made an exception of Mr. McAll,
because he was so peculiarly happy and
genial in his relations to them. His
hearty greetings and kindly sympathy
opened doors to him which were shut
to all others. He was able to under
stand the French spirit and genius,
which Englishmen so very rarely do.
How Long!
Editor American: It occurs to
me, just at this time, to address my
self to readers of your paper, knowing
that they must bo people of pure pa
triotic principle. The idea I wish to
give out is this: How long must a man
who trie3 to live according to the ideas
set forth in the platform of the Ameri
can party be in truth vox populi?
l or upward of twelve years I have
been hamper d by people, (wtentibly of
the Ronilth faith, who have worked
tooth and nail to dismember mo from
that Both ly, who have for their
ulterior object the evangelical cause of
Christ, and also to blat my prospect
for the temporal provisions f my own
Immediate family. Having this knowl
edge in mind, that tho state recog
nize the family I ask, Must a roan for
feit his life because he is an American?
Must people, because of the infusion of
Catholic ideas, clamor for the blood
of an individual simply because he will
not submit to their damning doctrines?
I say, God forbid. Surely, In the elo
quent language of Patrick Henry, I
would say; "Give me liberty or give mo
death." But I would rathor be drawn
asunder than to bo enthralled in moral
obliquity by the perversion of such
noxious ideas.

A Cardinal's lllimdcr.
Yes, it is possible even for a cardinal
to blunder, and make himself look
rather ridiculous in tho eyes of the
public. Cardinal Moran has made a
blunder lately, which has caused some
amusement In Australia. The lirilisk
AutitraUisiun of August 22nd thus re
ports the incident, in a letter from Its
Sydney correspondent, dated July
18th:
"Lecturing on 3rd Inst., on Protest
ant Missions, Cardinal Moran excited
considerable merriment by referring
to the spiritual cargo of tha Wosleyan
mission ship "John Williams." Ho
said: "We have heard of missionary
vessel, whose bills of lading showed a
spiritual cargo, indeed; but spiritual in
the sense of casks of whisky, wine and
rum, much- more than In tho number of
Bibles. A Sydney paper of Mreh 27,
1880, gives the following bill of lading
of the missionary ship "John Wil
liuras," of which we have heard a good
deal lately, then sailing from the Port
of Sydney: "1 case of wine, lease of
port, 2 cases ale and stout, 1 caso of
schnapps, 6 cases wine, 65 casks stout,
25 cases claret, 25 casks of whisky, 65
cases beer." 'Surely,' Bald tho car
dinal, 'that was a spiritual cargo, in
deed.' It now transpires that the 'John
Williams' did not carry such a cargo
to the islands on March 27th, 1880.
The Sydney Morning Herald, in its
shipping column, mixed up the mani
fests of two ships cleared for tho is
lands, attributing to the 'John Wil
liams' the extraordinary cargo quoted
by the cardinal, which, as a matter of
fact, was conveyej by an altogether
different veueel. The mistake was dis
covered on the dsy of publication, cor
rected, and amply apologized for by
the Sydney Morning Ikrald. The mem
bers of the Protestant missionary so
cieties are highly indignant that the
cardlcal should have revived this old
mlt ike to cast an aspersion on Prot
estant mission work, and several island
traders have written to the Sydney
dally papers stating that the Protest
ant missionaries do not Import any
drink whatever to tho inlands."

There are two houses in Augusta,
Ga., each of which Is striving to secure
tho majority of the business in his line.
The head of one of these houses, having
been classed by tome as an adherent of
the Roman Catholics,' and by others as
a d d A. P. A., tho gentleman was
personally interrogated last week as to
his actual plat'orm, and the gist of a
long explanation on his part amounted
to this: In one heart he sympathized
with the A. P. A. movement, but no
one knew it; and in the other heart he
was in sympathy with the Roman
Catholics, but no one knew it. The
fact was, that ho bowed to both for the
trade he might secure, and would not
advertise his business In any of the
papers for fear of insulting their oppo
nents. In political matters he was also
on the same line; and It has been said
that he was absent from the city this
week in order to miss election day.
There are men who dare not assert
their principles or have none for
fear they might lose an almighty dol
lar. Like an old negro during the war:
One day he saw tome soldiers coming,
who wore gray coats and blue pants,
and the leader asked him: "Are you
for the North or the South?" Looking
at their coats and their pants, he re
plied: "To tell yer de trute, Massa, I
am neider one, and not, much er dat.''
ONE of the delightful studies with
