University of Bonn, Prussia, read paper
on Papal infallibility and Old Catholicism.
He said that the two doxmas of the Catho-

and infallibility of the Pope. The official
press of Rome, he observed, published that

In the session of the Evangelical Alliance
to-day paper from the Old Catholic Con
gress recently held at Constance, signed by
Bishop Reinkens, Professor Won Schultz
and others. addressed to the conference,
was read by DIR. Schaff, who prefaced the
reading by few interesting remarks. The
paper was in response to an invitation for
representatives from that organization.
Mr.. Schaff recounted the actions of the
congress, among which are the establish
ment Of evangelical preaching in Catholic
churches, the establishment Of the confess
sional, allowing heretics to marry, and the
extending Of privileges to females having
voice in the government of the church. In
closing Dr. Schaff said that the Old Catho-
lie Church now had fifty-nine congrega-
tions, $4,000 members, and forty priests,
and that next winter six students would be
admitted in the college at BOnn.1 -..-
The speeches were generally bitter and
ex parte against the church of Rome.
In reply, DIR. Storrs, of Brooklyn, fol-
lowed in an address upon Rome's appeal to
educate Protestants. He said: at is easy
but unsafe to undervalue any force but our
own; it is difficult for Protestants to under-
stand the attractive power of ROmanism.
We have been wont to regard the Roman
church as one of ignorance and supersti-
ticn. When we have seen persons
going to the Roman church, we have
been apt to believe that they were moved
by political aspirations or some of
those eccentricities of mind that would
have made them Mormon. This is all
wrong. Catholics are intelligent, earnest
and ardent a great attraction 10 the greater
security of salvation offered by the church
of Rome. There is power in believing, as
one draws near death, that he can hear his
Savior's voice speaking through the priest;
