PRESIOfNT'SPASTORSOFFENSE
Oa Tbatk.f Wlrg da , at Washing
ton, D. C, the Rev. Or. Johnston, In
his st rmoo at tbe Metropolitan M. K.
churvh, p ke ef soma uf the danger
that threaten t ie American lb p jbllo
Tbe pastor mention d Jesuitism as one
of those danger. President Mt K nley
wa presrnt on tbe ccaloa, and the
allrgaiUui ba been made in some quar
ts r th. t lb chief magltratr considers
It was bad taste oo the part of Dr.
Johnston to discuss "sectarian Urn" in a
Thanksgiving sermon. An alleged
dl patch from Washington printed In
tbe Chicago Times- Herald of tbe nt it
day, contained thl 'rot' probably
written In the Times-Ilerald oftloe It
selfconcerning that part of Dr. John
ston's discourse In which be strung to
gether rum, toulallsm and Jesuitism:
In the morning the president, his
brother, Aboer McKtnley, Mr. Smith
of Cleveland, and Mis Berber cf Can
ton walked to the Metropolitan Mctho
dlrt church, and here tbe most stirring
Incident of the president's day occurred.
Tie minister, Rev. Dr. Johnston, who
had acquired distinction by reason of
being the "president's pastor," practi
cally took bis text from the president s
Thanksgiving proclamation. Holding
in his hand an official copy of the paper,
certified as true and accurate by the
secretary of state, Dr. Johnston
preached protperlty, and produced
figures obtained from the treasury de
partment to prove that prosperity was
on hand. Departing, however, from
this pleasing and timely topic at an
unfortunate moment bo plunged into a
dis cussloo of sectarianism, and before
he bad finished hi remarks on this
delicate subject said something that
certainly did not phase the president,
and which will not be forgotten for a
long time.
The blundering minister uttered only
a few words that caused offense, but
they were words that will travel a long
way anl cause no end of criticism.
Recalling, no doubt, that fatal speci
men of alliteration that caused the po
litical ruin of James G. Blaine, Dr.
Johnston atrunff together the words
rum, soolalUm and Jesuitism, and said
that these were at this moment the
greatest perils that threaten the na
tional existence.
To say that President McKlnley was
amazed and disgusted with this utter
anaa would be a mild statement. A
cloud appeared upon his face, and
gentleman who occupied a pew near
the president's says he would not have
been surprised If the chief magistrate
had lett the church.
It is safe to say Rev. Dr. Johnston
has Breached his last sermon In the
presence 01 f resiaent ivicrviaiey.
Rev. Dr. Johnston appsared to have
strained himself severely to create a
sensation today. Not satisfied with the
prestige that attaches to him by reason
of being everywhere known as "the
president's pastor," be took the trouble
to hunt up a certified copy of the pres
ident's Thanksgiving proclamation.
which he produced in the pulpit and
read with a great flourish. Nor yet
content with the display of bad taste,
he unloaded treasury statistics to prove
that prosperity had really returned to
the land, and proceeded to coin a phrase
in imitation of tbe lamented Burcbard
All through his discourse tbe reverend
blunderer was obviously preaching at
the president, and If there is anything
in the world Mr. McKlnley dislikes it
Is this. President McKlnley has all
his life been a stickler for tbe strictest
of proprieties in the pulpit. He ab-
hores politics or a semblance of politics
there. When he decided upon the
Metropolitan M. E. church as a place
of worship for hlmsel! and family he
did so because the pastor was reoom
mended to him as a man of sense and
discretion.
Dr. Johnston annennced a text from
the twentieth verse of the 147th Psalm
"He hath not dealt so with any nation
He then described the piety and wis
dom that moved a president in pro
claiming a day of thanksgiving. He
said this piety and wisdom promised
good things for the nation. It is evl
denoe, he said, when the ruler of sev
enty millions of people calls upon them
to pause in the midst of their labor and
devote themselves to prayers and
thanksgiving, that the Christian spirit
prevails in the land. Dr. Johnston
dwelt on the fact that in this day the
nation finds gladness in worship and
family reunion, while in old Saxon
days drunkenness and excess were the
chief pleasures of a national feast.
On this day everyone should pause,"
the pastor said, "and recount the bene
fits bestowed upon him during the
year."
Producing the figures from the treas
ury department to prove that prosper
ity had returned, the minister read
from them the size of the wheat crop,
the extent of the cotton crop, the mag
nitude of the corn crop, and the wealth
of wool, and meat, and fish, and other
productions by which the people of this
country reap the rewards of their toll
Passing then to the greatness of the
nation and the breadth of its mission
on earth, the doctor pointed out the
perils that threaten us and named rum
socialism and Jesuitism as the gravest
them all- He recounted at soma
length tbe dangers that would follow if
foreign cnurch should gain the as
cendancy la tbe stats, and declared
tbat tbe United taU would fall to tbe
level of Mexico, luly and Spain If J
ltl.ro were permitted to prevail to a
dominating degree la our national a!
fairs He said the Catho'tc should eo-
y the civil rights that are er-jtjed by
every other man, but tbat his church
should be warned to keep hands off the
state.
Not oonW-nt with all these efforts to
maks a sensational preacher of himself,
Dr. Johnston then spoke of Stain. He
.11 1 A .... A.. ShlltljlS."- llA

Tbe evil of corruption in politics re
ceived attention alo, and Tammany
a beld up as the basest of political
organizations, the apoyee of corruption.
He deplored its existence. He de
plored the power of a Croker to name
magistrates and peace guardians.
If President McKinley has an atom
patriotism In hi makeup, why
should be, as a man who must know of
the manifold evils which Jesuitism is
generating in the sUnited States, be
amax.d and disgust -d" with an intel
ligent Protestant minister's reference
thereto? Such "slush" as that which
we reprint from the Times-Gerald
shows conclusively that some watchful
and time-serving Jesuit must have at
least partial control of the columns of
Mr. Kohlsaat' newspaper. We com
mend the courage and candor of the
Washington pastor, and we say, "more
power to him." It Is high time for the
entire American Protestant pulpit to
awaken out of its deep slumber and to
boldly face the Jesuit question. There
are too many Protestant ministers who
seem to be profoundly ignorant of the
ilanp, purposes and plotting of the
Jesuits.
KEEP ON YOUR ARMOR.
No doubt John Wesley would bave
held his hands up from horror had he
been In Washington last Thanksgiving
day and had he been so unfortunate as
to have made one of the presidential
party which went to the Metropolitan
M. . church on tbat day to listen to a
sermon by Htv. Dr. Johnston. And
we are not certain but what Wesley
did turn over In his grave, because of
tbe "terribly stupid blunder" of one of
his Nineteenth century followers.
John Wesley, you know, was a great
stickler like President McKlnley for
strict propriety He wat, too, a plain,
outspoken mm who knew a spade
when he saw it, and knew enough to
call it by its right name. When he said
Romanism he meant all the hellish In
stitutions, the damnably blasphemous
pretentions to equality with God and
superiority over Christ Jesus, which
that miscarriage of a cross between
paganism and atheism represents, and
he didn't believe that it was as good as
Methodism or that it was better tban
Infidelity. When he said Jesuitism he
meant tbe doctrines, intrigues, sophis
tries and treachery which those slimy,
blood-stained, black-hearted wolves In
human form, who murder, lie, purjure,
steal, cheat, defraud, defame and flat
ter, use to gain a firmer footing under
all governments, nor did he mean that
a Jesuit was tbe equal of the devil in
point of trustworthiness and respect a
blllty simply because tbe Jesuit did
not have a pair of visible horns or a tall
long enough to switch up the dust as he
passed to and fro upon this earth. Ro
manism, to John Wesley, embodied all
the evil, all the cruelty, all the intol
erance, disloyalty, treason, unfaithful
ness and all tbe general cussedness
abroad in the world. Jesuitism was all
these and more. It combined with
those undesirable qualities, craft, cun
ning, double-dealing, false reasoning,
and tbat most reprehensible doctrine
"the end justifies the means." To
combat these; to unfetter the intellect;
to raise the standard of morals; to up
lift humanity; to make men better and
truer citizens and subjects, and to point
out tbe way to eternal life was, is and
has always been the object of unadul
terated Methodism; and that the people
have endorsed its course is attested
today by the numerical strength of the
organization.
This being so, and the founder of
Methodism being a stanch anti-Roman-
1st, a. firm opponent of Jesuitism It
will appear strange that in this day of
liberality and toleration (on the part of
Protestantism Romanism never being
liberal or tolerant) a follower of Wesley
would stand in tbe august presence of
the chief executive of this country and
DARE to say Jesuitism! Think of it, a
Methodist minister dared to say Jes
uitism from a Methodist pulpit! Dared,
mind you, while McKlnley was pres
ent! And the President was of ended!
He almost left the church! His face
showed he was disgusted with the
"Reverend blunderer." He thought
of Burcbard and Jim Blaine; of Tom
Morgan and Dr. Dorchester and Benja
min Harrison; and now he'll never go
there any more so that he may con
vince the Jesuits that he is not in
sympathy with so narrow, contempt!
bly bigoted and plain spoken a sect as
that founded by John Wesley.
Under ordinary circumstances when
a mo reap the ill-will or tbe dis
pleasure of tbe man whom the Ameri
can people are so unfortunate as to
elect president THE AMERICAN feels
Inclined to extend its sympathy tj
the orjt of disfavor but In this In
stance It don't feel tbat way. Uev.
Johnston had no right to b4 burn with
a mind of bis own. He bad no right
to unclasp the BiMe and read its
acred pigs aad construe the Word
for himself; no right to study history;
no right to be a follower oJ Wesley and
nt rigot to occupy a Methodist pulpit
He should bavt 'ven a disciple of
Ignatius Loyola, a follower of Torque
mads, a descendant of Borgia or an
remediate member of the black-heart
ed and redhinded fraternity tbat
planned the assassination of tbe be
loved Lincoln (many of which frater
nity mem to be the confidential ad
vises cf the president) if he would
find favor with our ruler.
If tbe president does not go to hear
Rev. Johnston any more it will serve
him right for he should have observed
those scruples of the president (who Is
a "stickler for ttrlct propriety,") and
not bave told the truth, which the
president already knew but which he
dared not or is afraid to acknowledge
Is the truth.
But, joking, sarcasm and feeling all
aside, we cannot but o immend the
language, the appropriateness as to
time, and the courage of Rev. John
ston; and we would say of any other
man than tbe president of tbe United
States who would show chagrin or dis
approval because another gentleman
in delivering an address had the man
liness, the American manhood and tbe
patriotism and courage to say Jesuit
Urn was a menace to our form of govern
ment and that the alien church which
it controls should be told to keep her
bands off our affairs of state, we should
say be wrote himself down the prover
bial ass.
Rev. Johnston, you are right; the
American people believe with you, and
hope you will keep on your armor.
THOSE who have an unconquerable
faith in the divine mission of the Amer
ican Republic will show their faith by
their works. Are you a true patriot?
Are you a consistent friend of liberty
and progress? Are you a professed
exemplar of all the civic virtues? Then
walk worthy of the vocation wherewith
you are called. Ask none of your fel
low citizens to do the work which you
can perform yourself. Every remember
that the noisiest patriots are not al
ways the noblest patriots. Nobility
vaunteth not Itself, it manifests itself
by right thinking and by right living.
When Americans will consecrate their
energies to the exaltation of the flag
and the exaltation of all those grand
republican principles which are sym
bolized by the flag; there is indeed
hope for the Rtpuoiio and hope for the
perfecting of advanced civilization on
this American continent Would you
enjoy the highest degree of prosperit?
Then first be a patriot Ail things
work together for good to those wbo
love their country and their country's
God.
MUCH of the brightest genius of the
nation has been enlisted in the cause of
free popular education and in the da
fenseand preservation of our civio in
stitutions. Our best educators are
among cur most patriotic men. The
principles of American patriotism and
American liberty are being thoroughly
Inculcated in the puolic schools of the
country. The rising generation will,
If we mistake not, be so intelligently
patriotic that they will not allow any
trust or monopoly, temporal or ecclesi
astical, to control the governmental af
fairs of city, county, state or nation.
Miss Dickinson, who is Miss Mo
Namara's closest competitor for the
honor of being Queen Polaris, need nut
expect to win. Rome and Hosewater
have always stood together, and if it
Is necessary to print a few thousand
extra copies of the Bee the day before
the contest closes, they will be printed,
and Miss McNamara will get all tbe
votes from those extra papers; and
Miss Dickinson will wonder how she
was defeated.
St. Joseph'
On Sunday, December 15, Father
Hlckey, S. J., preached a sermon in
San Francisco from tne text: "And
Pharaoh said to Joseph, Thou shalt
rule my whole house, and thou shalt
govern the whole land Of Egypt" (Gen.
xlli). He said:
Twenty-five years ago the sovereign
pontiff, Pius IX., solemnly proclaimed
St. Joseph the universal patron of the
entire Church of God. It was a time
when waves of persecution rolled in
thick and fast from all sides on the
bark of Peter. It was a time when the
enemies of our holy religion were ex
erting ail their power against the
church, endeavoring to root out from
the hearts of men tbe sublime gift of
divine faith.
Then it was that the sentinel from
the watch-tower, at themost earnest
solicitation of the cardinals, the bish
ops and priests, solemnly proclaimed
St Joseph the patron of the whole
church. Joseph then, like another
Pharaoh, was called upon to guide the
bishops and priests and to protect
the faithful. All were to look to him
as a model of manly virtue.
Tbe pope was tbe modern Pharaoh
wbo set Joseph of Nazareth over the
whole Church of Christ, which Is the
land of Egypt in this nineteenth cen
tury! God did not appoint tbe foster
father of Jesus to guide the bishops
and to protect tbe faithful. Plus IX.
did It! Marlolatry la bad enough, but
Josepbolatry is even more absurd and
blasphemous. The Idea that a man
in Rome can select a saint In heaven;
ran endow him with omniscience and
omnipotence, and make him the pat
ron of tbe whole f Cbrlst'a Church on
earth! What must we think of the
Intellectual caliber of the Romish
priests and people In the light of such
a jack-o'-lantern? Herald and Presbyter.
