The gentleman from Pennsylvania shows us that
the late Bishop England held contrary doctrine IN
the United States. Be il SO. But when the opinion
of that learned and eloquent prelate shall have per-
ished; when his name shall occupy but bare inch
Ia the compressed volume OF renown, when the last
paragraph of his remembrance shall have been, by
the moths Of ages, entirely eaten out " ne seycope
d,ds of poSterity, the name and fame of Thomas
Beckett will stand immortal in the archives OF the
Vatican, and in the history of the world as great
intellectual cliff from which the vain waters Of obly-
ion age after age recede in their frutess efforts at
submersion.
IL THERE NO DANGER
This great Archbishop may be called the practical
father Of the Jesuts. He has never been condemned
his doctrines never dsavowed his pracuce anthori-
res theirs Then sir, when this arm OF the Roman
Catholic Church is upfted in America, tell me not

tsstant make himself sentinel on the watch-towers
OF liberty.
Yet In the face Of all this we are told that there is
no necessity for this secret order of Americans The
eloquent and distinguished statesman Of Virginia,
"They are whole church militant. with their
armur bright" They are jealous jealous watchful,
and organized, banded together against Papacy They
learned active, and "pote, too, as any brother
hood of monks" "They need no such political or
ganization to defend their faith" In the Of

there is practcability in all these Divine innnctons
which is well illustrated by the lives Of the Reform

their labors This practcability is more humorousy
carried out by Cromwell in his great battles The
renowned commander always went into battle with
prayer to God but not prayer merely. His words
were, Bless God and flick Youn rLIsTs!" 1t was
by this practical working Of his faith, with his cease-
hess vigilance and activity that he was enabled TO
effect revolution which made his name immortal,
and aided in grating many branches of freedom on
the great tree Of English liberty And to this prac-
teal working of the Divine injunctions trust that
all Professionals will bend their energies, and not be
deluded by any dream of fancied security. The Pro
