A Thrilling Contrast
Hon. John d. Freeman democratic representative in the
Thirtyseoond Congress- has written powerful letter. from
which take the following extract:
BY this constitution the right decide upon all ques
tons of national politics wrested from the otzenwrested
from all the State and subordinate councils and vested in
the national council Like the usurpng Pope Gregory
VII, they claim both temporal and spiritual power their
subjects The Pope papist the council is deistiea

Catholics heretcs The Pope proessed the
religion of Christ the council profess to believe in SUI
preme Being the Creator and Presrver of the Universe
The council the Popes creed and form Of worship
wrong, and that of the council right. am theologan
papist but it appears to that Christ himself
and not the national council the proper umpire to decide
this controversy Christ has said whatsoever believeth
my shall bc saved-go We into all the earth and
preach my Gospel Catholics believe in the OF Christ
and preaching his Gospel they understand it, Now
what right has the 'council under the dspensaon of
Christ say to the Catholic you shall not preach the Cos
pei you understand in the United States Is not such
conduct unchrsan and in violation OF the above command
of the Saviour What power earth certainly which
Of the several Christian denominations have adopted the

to tolerate them all according to the religion and
redemption of Christ? Judge not that be not Judged
the command Of the Saviour.
But the creed of the council docs not embrace the Chris

God the Saviour Of Sinners the Bible the expo

This Is their whole creed expressed in their constitution
In their Philadelphia platform they acknowledged that Al

embrace the religion of Christ The oath they administer
before God Almighty and witnesses and upon the Holy
Evsngeiss. They prosecute Christian Church which
taught the religion of Christ from the beginning of
His dpensaton and they express other belief than
that of the infdel by their fruits shall ye know
them.' But let us pursue the parallel between their
alleged usurpaons Of the Pope and that of the national
council They the Pope of usurping both tenn
pora and spiritual power and they retaate by adopting
similar measures themselves. They the Pope Of ad
nnisteng csucal oa.hs and Of binding his adheens to

say will the Pope is the supreme law Of his followers
the national council abohes old platforms and old crecds
