this incident is worth tni ".itijf ih-fore
the public, that a man ninety-two year
old, who has the growth and in
flux of the foreign element, should Vie
so alive to the evil of it to exi'laim,
"With al my bvart'" and i(fu d his
name in a jj.kkJ full hand. S.irely there
are othei in our city ho inijrht well
have imitated the exi'iipli of such a
well known feliow-cltiz -n.
It was recently related in my hearing
that in a G. A. It post which had some
half-doz-.n or si Irishmen for memhet s,
an A. I'. A. uitde application for mem
bership, whereupon he was duly black
balled by the aforesaid Irishmen, who
knew he was an A. P. A. The com
mander of the p;)st wag also an A. l
A., and being conversant with the facts
in the case, referred the matter to the
department commander, who promptly
threw out the blackballs and declared
Uie person elected, and the said Irish
men were so incensed that they left
the post in a body. They could not
tolerate the persons who were willing
to tolerate theao, so got out, which was
tke best thine thev could do. Let the
flood work go on.
What an idea the masses of the Ro
man Catholic people have of the A. P.
A.'s! The wife of a friend overheard
one Irishman tell his chum that "the
A. P. A.'s are raising the divil wid us;
they are all sworn to cut our troats.and
they all carry knives. I knows tbim,
and they knows I knows thim, and no
one knows thim better than I knows
thim." If that is a fact, there is no
doubt but the poor ignorant Irish
would have good reason to be somewhat
scared, but as it is not true, their
throats are safe f-om being cut.
I recently saw a copy of a Masonic
paper called the American Tyler, of
the date of December 15, and several
editorials I read seem to convince mo
that the editor is an American; and if
if be is not an A, P. A., he would make
a good one, as the following clipping
showing his comment on an article in
the Masonic Home Journal:
"Captain H. B. Grant, of Kentucky,
is not only a model grand secretary,
but he is a bo n soldier, an old army
officer who has seen service, and the
author of several systems of tactics now
In general use by semi-military organ
izations. Profiting by past military
drills for the benefit of the Masonic
Home, he proposes a competitive drill
for cash prizes at the celebration in
June next. Commenting upon this
worthy proposition the Masonic Home
Journal says:
" 'There is no telling when our 'citi
zen soldiery' may be called upon in
emergencies to quell insurrections, re
pel invasion or guard our extended bor
ders, as our 'standing army' is but the
nucleus for a fighting body. This being
true, every able bodied man ought to
have sufficient practical knowledge of
the alphabet of war, ordinarily called
'tactics,' that he may be able to 'fall
In' at a moment's notice to meet a sud
den call for disciplined men. until regu
lar organizations can ba put into the
field. This necessitates the training of
military companies, whose best in
structed men will be qualified for of
ficers of new companies, battalions and
regiments, and there will be thousands
of officers needed.'
"That's right, Brother Home Jour
nal. The Tyler believes you are more
of a prophet than you take credit for
being; but are you not afraid of getting
called down for writing war articles in
a Masonic paper? Just think how close
you are to Sir Knight Knoch Carson,
But it is evident that you can take
greater liberties than can The Tyler,
because you arc not an Irishman with
red hair ami a pug node. If The Tyler
had ever written such hot A. P. A.
stuff as the abovo, his ganctum would
have been lilioi with the echoes of
'sectarianism, bigotry, un-Masoniu,'
etc. But you are right; seven hundred
thousand armed and drilled Roman
Catholics in this country, arc a menace
to tho future peace and prosperity of
the Republic' "
It would seem that at least two Ma
sonic brothers had i heir eye teeth cut,
and I hope tbey will keep idling it on
till the whola Masonic fraternity will
be a unit for tha principles of the
American Protective. Association, ar.d
come out and make it known: for if
there is any organization on the face of
the earlh whose members should be A.
P. A.'s, it is those of the Free and Ac
cepted Masons, and we will all say "so
mote it oe," when that takes place.

Thelat- Arcbbishop Kenrick of St
L iuis ha- in like manner analyzed the
views of the fathers as follows:
"S..vente?Q fathers declared that
Peter was the rock. Forty-four held
that Peter's faith was the rock.
"Might declared that the church wa
huiit upon all tho aposlics.
"-Sixteen heid that the rock was
Christ
"A few fathers hell that the' rock
meant all the faithful."
The Jesuit Maldonatus ays:
"Thera aro among ancljnt authors
some who interpret 'on this rocit,' that
is 'on this faith,' or 'on this confession
of faith, in which Tnou hast called mo
the Son of the living Gjd,' as Hilary
and Gregory Nyssen and Chrysostom
and Cyril of Alexandria. St. Augus
tine, going still turthcr away from the
trua sense, interprets 'on this rock,'
that is, 'on Myself, Christ,' because
Christ was the rock. But Origen, 'on
this rock,' that is to say, on all men
who have the same faith.' '
Father Connellan shows that the
Scriptures know of no such character
as "Pope," or "Prince of the Apostles."
Peter fell, badly, after his alleged
primacy aud infallibility were con
ferred upon him by the Lord.
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, be
hold Satan hath desired to have you,
that he may sift you as wheat: but I
have prayed for thee, that thy faith
fail not; and when thou art converted
strengthen thy brethren.
St. Chrysostom explains this text as
follows:
"He said this saarply, reproving
him, and showing that bis fall was
more grievous than that of the others
and needed greater assistance. For ho
had been guilty of two faults, that he
contradicted our Lord when he said:
'All shall be offended; saying, though
all should be olTonded. yet will I never
be offended,' and secondly, tnat he set
himself above the others ' "
The Lord's command to Peter, "Feed
My lambs, Feed My sheep," is thus ex
plained by Cyril of Alexandria:
"If anyone asks for what cause He
asked Simon only, though the other
disciples were present, and what He
means by 'Feed My lambs' and the
like, we answer that St. Peter, with
the other disciples, had been alreaiy
chosen to the apostleshlp; but because
meanwhile Peter had fallen (for under
great fear he had thrice denied the
Lord). He now heals him that was
sick, and exacts a three fold confession
in place of his triple denial, contrasti ng
the former with the lattoc, and com
pensating the fault with tbo correc
tion." Peter is thus assured and reinstated
after his mournful fall, but not con
stituted "Prince, potentate, pope or
vicar of Christ."
But what about Peter being in Rome
and baing pope? The story is that he
arrived in Rome A. D. V2, aod occupied
tho "See of Rome" twenty years. S ivs
Father Connellan:
"I lind an index at the end of the
Douay Bible, and there, und ;r the
year A. U. 57, I read that Paul writes
his epistle to the Romans. Thi- wie
tifieen years aTter Peter haa become
Bishop of lloiiu, as we are assured.
Vet there is no reference to Peter in
the epistle. St. Paul salutes many Ro
man Christians by name, in the last
chapter, but there is no reference to
Peter. UnJer the year A. 1).
learn from the same index that St.
Paul arrives in Rome, and that in the
following year, A. D. t2: he writes to
the Philippiaos and Colossians: 'The
brethren who are with me salute you.
All tho saints salute you, especially
they that are of C;var's household,'
are the concluding words of' his epistle
to the Philippians. In the oncluding
verses of his epistle to the Colossians
Paul again sends tin salutations of his
companions, Arisiarc'aus, Mark, Jesus,
cailed Justus, Ep.ipb.ras, and Luke, the
beloved physician, but not a syllable
about Peter. Nay, nut a syllable about
the Bishop of R)ms, and iyet we are
told that at this time Petjr had been
Bishop or Rome for twenty years. I am
informed by the Douay Bible that the
second epistle to Timothy was'written
not long before St. Paul's martyrdom.
In the last chapter the illustrious pris

Kvangi list Moody is eo idiiclii'g re
vival services In Ne York t'i'y, and,
big crowds are attending his meeting-..
In one of his talks he said: ' We mux',
take a lesson from the Catholic. Oh,
! know some church people don't like
to hear me speak a good word for the
Catholics. Nevermind. L' arn where
you :au, I say. When we Protestants
get Htraightem d out ourselves, tnen it
is tini i enough (or us to straighten out
the Catholics.''
It strifes Bs very forcibly that Moody
has taken many lessons from Rome.
He has learned the art of begging to
perfection, and his tongue has learned
the Itomish twirl so thoroughly that
he has all manner of nice things to say
about "the Motherof Harlot." Moody
is overlasiiugly telling tho people wnat
the ll.ble says on everything - Joes he
ever tell what tin liihlo says on Koine-'
If he is ignorant of what God's Word
says about "Babylon the Great," he is
to be pitied. If h.; knows aud is afraid
be will lose his popularity if he tells,
then he is to oe scorned.
Now what lessons would Moody havo
us learn from Rome' Some choice les
sons on morality from Llgouri? Some
"holy" lnfacjies from Dons? Sjme rot
and treason or devilish casuisiry from
Gury, Sabetti, Sanchez, Scaviui, and
others? Moody is a big brass band
affair used by an apostatu Protestant
ism to inj'Ct at regular iuiervais a
little false life into its dyiug system.
A revival that comes as a result of thii
promptings of tne Holy Spirit is one
thing, and a revival "got up" by MooJj ,
out of which he maKee a pile of moue,
some of which he g.vos to Rome's con
vents, is another thing entirely. It is
with Moody as it is with the Cninese
laundryman, "Nomoiuo uo gettee up
pee revivee." A ge-ruine Protestant
ism should withdraw its support from
a man who persuades it to learn les
sons from Rome. Christ suould never
be the pupil of Antichrist. -Tne Red

Pope's Attitude May Change.
Florence, Italy, Djc. 19. Cardinal
Bausa, the arcnoishopof Florence, had'
an audience of forty minutes with the
king and queen of Italy at the Pitti
Palace today.
Considerable importance is attached
to the visit, as possibly indicating a
change in the relations between the
Vatican and the Italian monarchy.
The papal statjs were united with
the kingdom of Italy in 1870, but the
popes have up to tals time uever
formally admitted tnis termination of
their temporal sovereignty, and have
never claimed the annual allowano of
3,225,01X1 lire (U4."),0U0) provided for
thorn by the state.
It is thought in some quarters that
th:-,visitof Cardinal Busa foreshadows
a better understanding between the
Qairinal and tne Vatican, and that the
pope will uo louger maintain that he
has ucjo uajjatiy Uep.'ived of his
tompjrai dominions.
