The Party of Theft.

We fad this expression in a recent num-
Der of the Christian Advocate as applied to
| the carpet baggers by Northern preacher.
1t appears that a Mr.. Morrow has been To-
| Gated in this city as pastor of the church
called the Ames Chapel that their chapel
| is the only thing in this city in the way of
q church for WHITE people, controlled by
the Methodist Church North, and that its
condition is not of the most fourishing'
preachers meeting" in Boston, and was
not very reserved in communicating his
Impressions.
He said that his average congregation
was about forty persons, that he had failed
to establish relations with any Southern
Methodist families, that Northern Metho
dists were shy of him for business reasons,
and that political carpet-baggers make use
of their Sabbaths for holding political
meetings. By this time the gentleman had
fred up and he blazed off into q graRd
conf1agration of wrath. So far as his con-
aagration could 60, he utterly destroyed
the whole South as civilized community
by dividing it into two categories, both
equally disreputable. "Neither from the
party of theft, on the one hand, he says,
'.nor from the party of murder on the
other" had his church AM thing to hope.
By "the party of theft" he evidently
means the carpet-baggers, because he had
just alluded to them in their Sabbath
breakage, and because, moreover, every
body using that expression means them
and by the "party of murder" he means
every body else. Iheretare, then, but
two classes here, according to him,
carpet-baggers, who are thieves, and the
rest of the population, who are murderers.
One would suppose this to be magnih
cent field for missionaries and that Mr..
Morrow's soul would be fred with glorious
| anticipations of tribes converted and
nations wrested from ruin. But, not at
| all He despairingly says his Church has
"nothing to hope.'
This is perfectly awful, if his Church is
| the true one. How are we to be saved I
| Even in Sodom and Gomorrah there was
J one found worth saving, and at the time OF
the food Noah and his whole family were
exceptions to the universal wrath. The
South, then, is in a worse plight, for there i.
here absolutely "nothing to hope" Would
not this evangelist do well to reconsider
The saving of one soul is worth the work
of lifetime. Even angels were sent il
human guise to warn Lot, and is there no
body here worthy of another effort by
mere mani Where is the Returning

"PRUDENTIUS'' AND PANTHEISM.
NEW YORK. Nov. IS. 1874.

NEW YORK. NOV. IL, 1874.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The critic who in last Sundays HERALD called
attention to the pantheism distinctly taught in
the philosophical principles of "Prudenttusn may
bear In mind that his conclusion was accepted,
and had been already arrived In literary circles
paper. Some OF the best philosophers OF the Cath
olic Church have clearly shown that the school
TO which "Prudentlus" evidently belongs bases It's
teaching upon principles that necessarily lead to
pantheism. 1t Is true, indeed, that these conclu-
sions, as truly pantheisc as those Of the profound
and sincere Spinosa, are disclaimed by their
authors. But when they start from Ems, pure
being, as their prtYaum phtiosophtcun,, no
artificial logic or clever ratioclnation can save
pantheism. Hence the ingenious "Prudentius''
will be ingenious enough to admit the logical
consequence OF his principles These principles
are taught In oil the CathOlc schools and colleges
conducted BY The members OF religious order
which Siatms to represent the true doctrines OF
the Church. "Prudentius" must have been for q
long time tmbued with the principles OF their sys-
tenn. Tae doctrine OF intermediary ideas once
admitted there are no means lett to avoid pan the
ISM @ and ulter,ay nihi!ism There is, Of course.
likely holds, instead OF the rigid, barren sys-
TEN generally known BY that name. And even
the religious order above referred to professedly
reject the imputaton Of admitting pantheistic
tlon OF seven propositions said to have been de-
duced from the works OF an on tOlOgicaI professor
of LOuvain, in Rome, in 1851. The acute and
erudtte "Prudent1us" Will, however, very prob
ably, make out a very plausible II not very con-
vincing case against your learned correspondent

ST. JOHNS GUILD.

Whoever wishes TO see busy scene wherein
there is more of pleasantness than usually fails
upon busy Places should call on Monday even
ing at the rooms Of st. Johns Guild In varick
street.
Last night over nifty ladies were gathered there.
and the hum and click Of more than q score Of
sewing machines fell upon the ear OF the
passer-by in the street as sort OF monotonous
undert0ne to the laughter that rppled over 1t,
and the sounds OF merry, Happy voices In chorus.
These ladies' represent the highest social elements
OF the city. 1t Is nothing unusual TO witness IL
these rooms ladies whose income IL greater than
that of the President or the United states sc wing
upon thick woolen stuns for children and Tor
aged people. The rooms are brilliantly lighted,
and q more merry and witty assemblage could
scarcely be met with IN the metropolis. ~
Delegations are always present from the Sew
ers and Reapers,n the "Helpng Handu and the
"Dorcas". societies, auxiliarles OF the Guild a.
well as from the newly formed ward societies.
The amount OF work performed at these gather
ings is simply astonishing. Tables are piled high
with garments OF every description, and In exhibit
ing them the ladies show pardonabie pride in
calling attention to the neat and thorough work.
n ansnip displayed In making them. In fact, from
the large additions offered to the stock Of the
Ciotning Bureau on each Monday evening. one
would DC led to suspect that these ladies devote
more hours OF each day at home to the work OF
.ne Guild tnan they care to make known TO the
genera al public.

1t is understood that the medicine prescribed was
powerful opiate; but, whether this was the case
or not, 1t is asserted that when the medical man
called in the afternoon glance at his late patient
induced him to pronounce the child dead. The

GLADSTONE VS.. NO PoPERY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Mr.. Gladstone's attack upon the Church OF Rome
appears to be climax to the Inconsistencies and
eccentricites Of that erratic statesman. Starting
IN life "the rising hope Of those unloading toriesu
we witnessed him distance even the wings in
liberalism, and eventually become the chief OF the
most advanced radicals in the House Of Commons.
Such inconsistency would suffice for most men,
but the caprice exhibited In his extreme religious
opinions combine to form picture OF English
statesmansnip but too common during the present
century, OF which the lives Of the late Lord Derby
Peel, Graham and the present Premier offer strik-
ing instances.
The cry OF mo Poperyu in England has become
stale and has been raised so often for psiitcal
effect that our suspicious in the present outburst
are naturally aroused, and as the present con-
ditton OF Mr.. Gladstone's mind can be best
gauged by reference to his published opinions,
we offer the following extracts -

tions with the Church, the whole theory OF which,
rested on the proposition that one OF the chief
ends Of all governments was the propagation OF
religious truth, and he naturally starts with the
doctrine that every state whatever Its political
government, is bound by moral law to maintain
and propagate fixed religion. Mr.. Gladstone
that power is the property OF God the King Of that
universe. The powers therefore that dwell In In
dlvtduals. acting as government can only be
secured for right uses by applying to them relig-
ion"--hs reasons for this proposition being "be-
ca use the governing body Of state is composed
OF individual men, and they being appointed to act
in definite capacity must sanction their acts
done in that capacity by the ofices OF
religion, otherwise their acts would not be ac-
ceptable to Goo, but sinfu and punishable in
themselves" STATESMEN must be worshipping
men their acts, powers and energy being all pub
lie, they must sanctify their acts. not only BY pr-
vatc prayer, but they must offer prayer In their
public capacity" "ro this agency there must pe

soning agents OF the nation this religion must be
that OF tue conscience OF the government"

GladstOne's opinion, "dtminisn the governments

Month.
From the Evening Mail.I
The HERALD yesterday astonished its readers
wish three columns OF special dispatches contain
lag tire development Of what may become one or
the most important controversies OF our time. 1t
has arisen out OF an antiPapa manifesto issued by
Mr.. Gladstone, who has declared that acceptance
sf the dogma OF Papal infalibiity is Inconsistent
with good citizenship. TO this declaration the
Primare OF the Roman Catholic Church in England,
Archbishop Manning has replied IN q letter, not
addressed TO the London Ttmes-as would be the
natural mode OF procedure-but to the editor Of
the HERALD, who first furnishes the letter to the
London press, and then has the letter and tho
London press comments cabied to the HERALD,
where they appeared yesterday, together with
giving complete history OF the rst chapter of o
controversy which may yet agitate England more
Than any other present question.
Such piece OF journalistic enterprise deserves
the commentator OF the American press, az 1t
must have excited the surprise Of our London
contemporaries. 1t suggests new possibilities in
the way OF journalistic EFFORT, such as were not
the Atlantic, and prepares us to anticipate the
time when ali the great questions that arise
among civilzed nations win be simultaneously
centrated upon the same themes and utterances,
and when the leaders Of thought Will be able 60
talk upon living themes TO all rhe nations that are
interested therein as to one vast audience. For
tnis presage OF state OF affairs hitherto unfore-
seen we are indebted to the HERALD and as all its
contemporaries joined in iandlng It's achievements
In the Stanley expedition, SO they ought now to
give 1t credit for this last wel-planned and thor
Oughly executed exploit which is far more char
Acteristcally journalistic than that for which 1t
has received so much creuit
While, however. we concede to the HERALD the
praise that ts clearly It's due we must say that 1t
was indebted for It's nrst Information OF tho I'M
p0rtant controversy, which it has not only re-
ported, but helped along, to the American Press
Association. We suppose 1t relied upon the Asso-
clated Press for the transmission Of such a piece
