Bishop Kahn in Chicago.

From the Inter- Ocean Of MOuday.l
St. Johns Catholic Church, on Eigh-
tenth street, was filled to Overlooking
last night to hear lecture by the Rev.
J.J. Kahn, D. D., Bishop ofWheeling, W.
Va. The lecture was entitled "Calumnies
Against the Catholic Church Refuted,"
and was delivered for the benefit OF the
parish schools. No doubt the latter
charitable object had much to do with the
large attendance, for in addition to the
fre9uenters Of, the church there were
present in their regalia several societies,
among them being the Young Mems Tenn
perance Society and Cadets. st. Johns
Benevolent Society, St. Patrick's Beney'
Oleut Society, and the Young Mems
Sodality. After yespers the Biahop de-
Iivered his lecture, very able discourse,
dwelling upon the fact that in perform
ing their various functions the Catholic
priesthood were not, as many held,
usurping Gods exclusive right, but
simply following the example as set,
and commanded by Christ when on earth,
in his relations with his disciples. While
speaking OF the sacrament the speaker re-
marked, at is a sad sightfor Catholic to
cast his eyes over the world and see how
the church OF Jesus Christ is placed at
this moment. Ideas antagonistic to God
and his religion arc spread broadcast
throughout Europe and America. Oui
church has not even escaped trouble ir
Catholic countries; and why? Because
there is something in the Catholic Church
at variance with government. It's spir'
itual Christianity against spiritual inf
delity-superiority Of the state against
conscience and religion. And why are
the bitterest shafts continually being
launched against our church? Because It Il
in her that the great embodiment OF Di'
vine Grace is found, which her numerous
enemies would diminish. It is politics
against religion. Even in Germany tho
Catholics are prosecuted, although many

STEP BY STEP.
Prof. Swing on Progressive Ne-
ligiOn.

The Chicago Alliance OF last week has
the following editorial from Prof. Swings
pen:
The rumor that one Of the leading
Baptist Churches was about to declare
for open communion seems TO have been
badly founded. II was built upon the
sand, and when the pastor blew his breath
1t through the papers 1t fell, and great
was the fall Of it.
This leads to the reflection, not that
rumors are sometimes false, but that 1t
should not have been expected that a
large congregation should have at once
become converted to an opcn.com-
munlon doctrine. Changes OF opinion
come by individual movements, and not
by any such wholesale progress Of large
crowd. Little by little the old passes
away, and little by little the new comes
That whole town or IN entire congr!ega'
ton should remove at once from one idea
to another, should not be expected.
The Presbyterian Confession oil Faith
has for at least twenty years been losing
its hold upon It's old denomination. Very
slowly It's doctrines passed through the
different stages Of surprise, neglect, doubt
ill.will, and abandonment. And, indeed
the abandonment is not yet universal.
By slow and almost impetceptiblt
movement The Quakers moved away IRON
their formulas about spontaneous
speaking and unprecedented remark
