PROM Life IN the Woridls BY Mss Frsd-k Bremer-1
Isaw at the further end Of an oblons, light
and very simple furnished room, a man OF stout
but handsome figure, standing at a writing
table, crossed in a long white garment, with
sesrl lspeis and cap. made one low cour-
tesy al the door, another in the middle Of the
room, in obedience to the pope's sign to ne to
ADVANCE and yet a third as / approached him
and took my Stand on the same little carpet
with him, which I did in accordance with Bis
friendly indication Of his will. flor such
persons as do not kneel 70 the Pope, are re-
quired BY the ceremonialt to make three courte-
sizes or boWE-0
The portraits Of the pope are in general like
him, but bis full, short and bread countenance
has when seen more nearly, less expression
Of kindness, and considerable more Of self
viii and temper than the portraits exhibit.
The glance Of the blue eve is lively. but not
profound, and is deficient in ssrnestnsss. The
complexion and physique generally indicate
TIE best Of health, a good aPPsdte-snd a
good cook.
TIE pope cast his eve on a written paper
which he held in bis hard, and having inquired
about my country and place OF residence,
added " You have written someWhat?v
Myself Yes, your holiness; novels Of do
nestle hfe-more properly descriptions Of life,
but in the form Of novels.
The Pope But you are 4 Catholic?
Myself. No, your holiness-nOt a Roman
Catholic.
The Pope. Then you must become one.
There is no completeness or consequence out
Of the Catholic church.
Myself. Permit me, your holiness, to ask q
question?
TIE Pope. Yes, ask it.
Myself. love, with nv whole heart, our
Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. I believe in
his divinity in bis rsdeemiug efficacy for me
and The whole world / will alone obey aud
serve Him. Win your holiness not ackDowl-

". But
Myself. And as a member Of he church of
Christ?
The Pope. Yes, in a certain sense but
bat then people must acknowledge as true sv-
erything which the church saws and enioins.
You ought not in the meantime to believe that
the Pope sends 70 hell al who &c not scknowl-
edge the infsllibility Of the Catholic Church.
NO, / believe that many persons Of other
ereeds may be saved, BY living according to
the truth which they acknowledge. I believe
20, most cetainlv.
Myself. It delights ne infinitely to hear this
from your holiness. Because I have cherished
the hope Of finding in your holiness q more
righteous Judge, az regards these questions,
than in many other Catholics, who say, "You
are not a Christian; you cannot be saved If
you DO not, in all respects, believe as We and
our church DO"
.ThsL Pope. In this they are wrong. But,
you see, ny daughter, people should be able
10 give an account Of their Christian belief;
net believe slene in generals, but believe in
the separate parts Of a doctrine. Il is already /
something TO believe in the second person Of
the godhesd, and IN his Incarnation; but it is
necessary also 10 believe in the Institutions
which be founded on Earth, otherwise there
can be il reality no faith in him. And people
must believe IN the pope. The pope is Christ's
representative on earth In Sweden, the peO-
pie do not believe on Christ and bis church;
the EXTREMIST Intolerance exists toward those
who think differently to themselves. The king
there has twice endssvored to fntro5ncs relig-
ious freedom, but they would not have it.
Myself. know il, your holiness; but Swe-
den in former times has suffered from Catho-
lies in the country, and old laws still remain
unrepealed in consequence. But Il will lot be
20 long, I heFe- Ny c~ountrymen will learn TO
have confidence in the power OF truth and
Christianity
The Pope. FourreigBing queen is Catboii..
Myself Yes, your holiness, and the nohlest
y WOmsn, an example TO Der sex, an orna-
msnt to the throne.
The Pope. All Christian princes and peo-
pie ought 10 believe on the pope and obey him.
Their Bot doing 50 arises from pHrs pride and
worldly mins. Hence State churches have
arisen. The Emperor Of Russia will not se-
knowledge the pope, because be wishes to be
pope himself. Qaeen Victoria viii not se-
knowledge the pope, because che herself viii
be popess, % it Is In every country where there
is . State church. Belief in the pope, as the
head Of The Christian church, is the only Ts-
tionsl and consequent thing; it is that alone
which leads to unity and clesrnsss. The
church is an organization; a representative
monarchy with its supreme bead; a spiritual
State. II in a State, people will not obey the
supreme head, then there can be neither clear
ness nor order; everything becomes confusion.
Myself. We believe in Jesus Christ, and
acknowledge him alone ss the head Of the
Christian church.

descended from Peter to every pope who has
succeeded him, from the very earliest period Of
the church, Town TO the unworthy Individual
who now stands before you. This is the be-
lief and the doctrine Of the church.
Myself. We IN our church eKplsin these
words Of our Saviour differently. We consid-
or that BY Peter, be intended fbe Rock-man,
and that the acknowledgment that Peter made,
@Thou art Christ, the sos Of The living God -
was the rock upon which Christ would build
bis church, against which the gates Of bell
should not prevail. We believe that Christ
left the KEYS 10 all OF his apostles, as well a.
70 Peter, with power to bind and release, and
that every earnest Christian, whether IL Be the
pope in Rome, or a poor fisherman on our
coasts, has part in this church OF the rock and
in its privileges
he Pope. Bot you have not either confess
sion or sbfolution T; you do not believe In
the mass, nor in the seven saeraments, nor
upon those .hings OF ordinances which the /
church Of Christ appoints. He who believes
In one must believe IN 81. There is but one
God in heaven, and one church on earth, in
which be lives, BY bic representative, and by
