EVANGELICAL.
The Interest Increasing -Broadsides
Against the Pope.

New YORK, Oct S.--The sessions OF the
different sections OF the evangelical aliianee
seems to be growing in interest. Assocla,
ton Hall was crowded this morning, ana
large numbers were unable to gain admit
lance. Additional Vice Presidents were
appointed owing to the number OF, meetings
being hsld. R. l.. Payne, Of Virginia,
Wants Go be Heard,
and writes "If 1 do not set forth the mer-
its of Christ fuller than any other man when
you hear me, then you may say / am not
specially called of God by the operation Of
his holy spirit" i -
Not Infallibilists.
st. Paul's Church was also crowded.
After prayer, Prof. w. Kroft, d. d., OF the
University OF Bonn, read paper Cd Papai
Infalllbillty and Old Catholicism. he said,
in all DEGREES from the Pope, no reference
was made to Peters succession, but to
Peter himself who denied his Lord. The
Pope Is the tescher and shepherd Of the en-
tire Church, both by day and night. Atthe
las. Vatican Council there were five hun
dred and thirty-three bishops present, when
there should have teen over Thousand d.
ocesan members. To render valid any &C.
tons they may perform in these meetings
The Pope in his own name issues DEGREES.
In these meetings the Pope represented
himself as the Vice God, the representative
of Deity. Il was blasphemy to say that
when tbs Pope thought, It was Christ
thinking in him, so that Christ was visible
in the Pope. Twas unadulterated AFRO
gance of the Catholic Church to hold their
Ecumenical Council. No one was repre-
scented in it but the cardinals and bishops
and few laymen.
A paper was read from the old Catholic
Congress held at Constance expressing q
desire to get into intercourse with the
Evangelical christians of the world.
Pref. G. Pronies, D. D., of Geneva, made
an address on Catholicism and DR.. STAIRS,
of Brooklyn, followed with an address en-
titled, Rome's appeal to educate Protestants,
and was voiciferously applauded.
at the Fourth avenue Presbyterian
church meeting was held with Senator
Buckingham presiding, when an able con-
troversive discourse was delivered by Bishop
Cummius, of Kentucky.
At the Association hall meeting the first
paper read was by Prof. j. A. Dorner, OF
the University of Berlin, opposing the
claims of The Pope to infsllioility and Of the
Catholic church to unity. He also touched
on the subject of nomina. Protestanss who,
he said did not understand the gospel any
more than Roman Catholics. Prof. Hitch
cock followed and Rev. Geo. Fiscl, OF Paris,
gave description of the revival OF Popery
in France. Rev. Leopold Willie read
paper on the German empire and ultramon
tanism. Adjourned.
