IRON 4 REGULAR CORRESPONDENT or TUE TkBuNE.l
BosTOY. Aug. 14.-Having disposed of the
Geneva award ipfition and various other National
conundrums in former numbers, Mr. Hale IN the miro
ducton TO Oii and Ner for September, takes mp the
relations of Church and state and discusses the recent
statements on this head of yacinthe L'yson popuary
called Father Hyacinthe. The good Father has chal-
ured attention and surprise. and M Hale thinks has
seriously offended some OF those who thought they
were his best friends If Protestants have been
believing that the real Oh Catholics had any
wish 10 commit themselves 10 the Protestant
system they have been laborng under delusion The
truth is that the Catholic reforme really believe in the
visible union Of the whole Church and what they are
M work for is to bring about this ullon. When they
said that they believed IN the Catholic Church With
ou. an iniable Pope ana without Society OF JesuiS,"
they said just what they meant. When an English
Churchmau repeats, =" believe In the Holy Catholic
Church" he means that he believes IN IL as possibility
to be prayed for and hoped for But the O!d Catho
lies" mean that they believe that in very fact there is
such church; and that their own oil church may be
made 10 do ITS work the visible union Of the Church
Of Christ They hope II may include within Itself ;he
Protestant Churches. The address OF Hyacuthc LoysOn
to which Mr. Hale refers, Will become historical
Iu the outset ne defends himself with energy against
what ne calls the cilumny which charges him with
trimming and attempting u return to MS allegiance T.
Rome. II is IN hs defense that there comes IN the
passage about his child, which Is already famous Il"
nave no reply the caumny which was imagined In
folly ana wrought Oa in malice folly wAich de>pse
and malice which l dcsplse yet nprC-'Ae ca.umny
which sdys went 70 Rome to make Inv peac, with the
Vatican. For that. two things would be needed-hrst
for the Pope TenOunce his personal lutiintv and
next that he should bless the cradle OF my child"
But the Father follows his defense Of himself with
strong protest against d)crinal laxty, He believes
that the people should choose ther pastors bat that
they should not choose their doctrines To Mr. Hale the
worries" Of Father Hyac!nthe seem SMALL aud 50 DO
the worries" Of most OF denominations. The
Church, he considers, should be an organzlton for
labor and not for seltaggrandz 3ment He thinks the
~eIa of Church whole 10 that OF the separate
churches should be something like thai OF the General
Government of the United States to each particular
statc and this analogy he carries ont very happily
The continuation OF Tyrwhtt's "Sketching Club"
which comes next is tedious. Like the man IN the play
81 say it without hesitation and say boldly" Il Is
fun Of useful information for aspr!1g artists bat the
unar,istic reader Is bored by IT.
Anthony Trollope proses on about The Way We Live
Now" He often proses OF late. He writes no more
novels as good as Dorchester Towers" or The War
deu or The Small House at Abingdon, but he usually
interests us mild unexciting way. for through him
we make pleasant acquaintances, OF snple, natural
agreeable honest peopIe-not too bright or good for
there only two OF light through the shutters
in the persons Of two three decent charactera the
rest are hateful they wickod ana as wicked
a mild man like Mr.. Trolope make them. After so
much wlckedness 1t is pleastn: 10 be told By Prot
Hudekoper that the much abused Emperor Tlberius
was really a very good man. ndeef-:hat the famous
"stye OF Capri" was vrtuous abode. where, in his
old age, the Emperor lived cleIny and kept all the
commandments.
&" The Ascent OF Ampersand Mountain" is an enter
tanning paper. but lacks picturesque charm "sylveser
Gardiner" Thoroughly good sketch OF a good physic-
ian OF the old school-a whose name was known m
almost every part OF New-Engiand, and everywhere
connected with memories OF accurate scholarship de
yoton 60 the Church OF England, eminent skill In
rnedicine and always with generous and stately
pitality It is good TO LOOK upon this od-fashioned
picture this man who knew nothing OF modern I'M
provements but who was himsef so noble that he
scarcely needed any improvement. Theodore Bacon
