LECTURE.

The. present Rector of st. Anne's
church, Rev W. G.. Rutler, delivered.
two years ago. in Louisville. KY. two
historical lectures--one on The Papa
cy" and the other on the !. Presbyterian
System
They we're pronounced BY high crit
ical authority to be ''master pieces OF
earnest, scholarly, convincing thought,
sustained throughout by vigorous
presentation, and calculated to clear
away much rubbish from some Of the
most stirring questions Of the day" An
incident in connection with their deliv-
cry is worthy Of note. The Courier
Journal, Of Louisville. the foremost
daily Of the West, obtained the consent
Of the lecturer to publish the lectures
in its columns. Accordingly the manu-
script Of the first-on the Papacy-was
furnished, after its delivery, to appear
10 the newt mornings issue. It was
hurried to the Office, set up in type and
when. at midnight. the press was about
10 send forth the lecture to the readers
Of the Journal, the editor 10 chief. who
was brought up under Roman Catholic
influence. rushed, At that hour, to the
press room, and. as those who Witness
ed it affirmed, most excitely ordered the
type Of the lectures to be upset. No
explanation was given to the. snbordi-
mates, nor apology to the lecturer. But
it was afterwards suggested BY gentle
men who endeavored to ascertain the
reason Of this summary suppression.
that it was either orfered or purchased
BY the paramount power tha, is ruling
and running the Roman church Of to.
day-Jesui,ism-a power whose vigi-
lance is tireless. whose resolution is in
flexible, and which counts any labor
light and any cost cheap which can be
made 10 further it's objects.
The author was repeatedly requested
to furnish the other lecture-on 1.-THE
Presbyterian System" for publication
10 the same paper. but declined except on
condition that both lectures should ap.
pear. The consequence was that no
Roman Catholic read the lecture on
The Papacy.''

deliver these two lectures, at an early
day in the Town Hail. II -q ...s
