umcnt. In this city is large old building

olics, and at present, things move on pleas
antly bat it has not always been ~. Al
one time tie Catholics had the greatest pow
cr in the city, and human nature like, the,
drove the Protcstants out OF their part and
told them that they could not worship any
longer IN the house. They pctitioncd to tn,
King Of Prussia and he sent to the Pore at
Rome, and told him that unless he obligct
the Catholics to give the Pr5tcstants thcil
part of the church in Heidelberg, that not
another cent would he give to the Catho-
lies in Prussia The old gentleman in Rome
was glad to restore things to their right
place and until this day things have moved
on tremendously.
