.. an old woman reading the Scriptures, un-
derstands it better than jerome, Augustine,
Chrysostom, and the other so-called Fathers
of the Church, thus supposing, evident
ly, that she is infallible in interpreting what
she reads.
Let us see, therefore, what we ought to
think of that infanibility 30 lavishly granted
to every private man.
This infallibility must be either natural or
supernatural. Nobody can be bold enough
to say that we possess naturally that infai-
ibility, since all admit that our natural rea-
son is fallible. Then it must be supernat-
ural. And Protestants must suppose, and
they affirm, indeed, that the Holy Ghost
gives an actual assistance to every man,
while reading the Scriptures, and enlightens
him with a supernatural light, which ena-
bles him to understand most assuredly the
true meaning of what he reads.
But let Professionals prove that such Q
supernatural infalibility is really given to
every reader Of the Scriptures The only
way of proving it would be to show thai
this infaAibility has been positively
promised to us by Almighty God. But
where do Protestants find That premise
They cannot allege in the whole Scriptures
one single text giving or insinuating, even
implicitly and indirectly, such a Promise.
That pretended promise lis then nothing
else but q groundless superstition and q
mere fancy.
But, on the contrary, we can show by
several texts that such promise has not
been made to every private reader of the
Scriptures. -
We read in the twenty fourth and last
chapter of the Gospel of st. Luke that
when the Saviour appeared to his Apostles,
after his resurrection, f" he opened their un-
that they might understand
the Scriptures" Therefore, until that time
they did not understand the Scriptures,
and still they had read them for MANY
years. And remark here that this opening
Of understanding is granted to the Apostles
only, that is, to those whom our Lord had
precisely chosen to explain the Scriptures
to those who would believe through their
~
St. Peter, in the third chapter of his
Second Epistle, speaking of the Epis-
ties of st. Paul, says that Gin them
are some things hard to be understood,
which the unlearned and unstable wrest,
as also the other Scriptures, to their
own perdition." Let Protestants see
they be not concerned in that text
However, those who wrest the Scriptures to
their own perdition undoubtedly are not
enlightened by the Holy Ghost in reading
and interpreting the Scriptures.
What we have said would be more than
enough to show what We ought to think of
private infalibiity. But, as the matter is

be considered a problem for future solution.

rheRule of Faith.

Protestants are generally willing to dis
cuss severally the various points ON which
they differ from Catholics, because they
know that such o discussion Is Of NO effect.
When urged on some question, they viii
run to another, and SO on, 80 that discus
sions become endless, and prove entirely
fruitless. But We have q surer ard shorter
way to confute our dissident brethren; it is
to show that the fundamental principle of
Professionalism is erroneous, and that the
basis on which Protestants lay the whole
structure of their religious system is radi
cally wrong, and cannot stand the scrutiny
of good sense and reflection.
The capital difference and the main point
at issue between Catholics and Protestants
is about the rule of faith. Protestants say
that the rule of faith is the Holy Scriptures
alone. Catholics affirm that the rule of
faith is the Holy Scriptures interpreted and
explained by the Church. The first and
main question to discuss in serious contro-'
versy must be, therefore, the question of the
rule Of faith: Is the rule of faith to be found
in the Scriptures alone If we show that
such fundamental principle is fraught with
errors and leads to absurd consequences,
that will be enough; for the foundation
being shaken out, the whole fabric must fall
to the ground, and it will become useless to
discuss every, or even any particular point.
Now, it is easy to show that the Protestant
principle which lays down the Scriptures
alone as the only rule of faith, draws with
itself several absurdities and impossibifities,
many evil and pernicious, immoral and inn
pious consequences.

The power of nation of forty mil

peals against personal violence and
oppression. Every dollar of the

Secretary Seward on the situation.

An entertaining and instructive little
conversation occurred the other day quite
incidentally between Mr.. Seward and a
Herald correspondent, which sets forth
satisfactorily the present views of the
Secretary on national politics. As to the
possibility of great excitement in the
campaign, Mr.. Seward says: "That is
something l can say nothing about" he
hazarded an opinion, however, that
"time would develop" the fact, yea or
nay. As to what the future policy Of the
administration will be, that is something
for him to know and others To find OUT"
and in answer to the suggestion that
man Of his experience aud position would
be heard with great attention by the peo-
pie, be gives this lucid thought: Then
the people will have to wait, and when ]
say anything, If / have anything to say,
they will have chance to know what il
is" There you have him. When be has
anything to say, be will say it, and when
he says it, it will be his saying, and will
be said. Here is profound political phi.
losophy, and this, no doubt, reflects the
precise state Of the Premier's mind. he
has no political convictions Just now,
aud no opinion that be dare venture. His
vscuity is the consequence of the fact
that be actually does not know where be
is in the political tide. This Tammany
Convention sent the administration
sdrift, and Seward is with Il, covering a
careful silence with hint Of diplomatic
guile. How different from the past, when
Seward, at the close Of every Congress
and in the opening Of every struggle, was
not happy man till be could get up 10
Auburn, gen the people together and make
a clean breast of bis own part Of the case.
How instructive a fact that a man Of
fifty years active political life and study
OF parties has at the last got no other
wisdom from bis experience than such as
teaches him 20 hold bis toueuei
