DIR. Cumming of London In a lee
tRre lately, said that he had ascertain
ed by personal examination, that In
the Roman Catholic translations OF
the scriptures into French, italian,
German and Spanish, the fourth COM
mandment Is omitted entirely, and in
It's place they have sHbitituted the
command, Remember the festivals.
But he did not say that the same thing
had also been in practice by Protest
ants for hundreds of years. Again
he stated that In those TRANSACTIONS the
name of God Is LETT out all through
the Psalms, and tile name of the VIr-
gin Mary substituted In its place.
Yet why is this not consistent If It
Is allowable to leave out what God
commands and substitute something
else in its place why should it not be
allowable to leave out his name and
Substitute another? God and his
rights are no more ignored In one case
than In the other, and so long as Prot
estants justify the substitution Of
their Sunday festival In the place of
Gods Sabbath they cannot consistent
ly condemn Catholics for the other
substitution. When will christians
awake to the fact that they are, in
their Sunday keeping, striking hands
with the mother OF harlots against
God, thInkest thou this, o man,
chat iudgest them that do such things
ami doest the same, that thou shalt es-
cape the judgement of God? x.

This list does not show all that Eu-
rope has owed and not paid. for France
alone got rid of four hundred and six
ty million dollars after her Revolution,
by bankruptcy. But the present in
debtedness on which the more or less
civilized nations more or less Irregular
ly pay interest is big enough. The
population of these nations is some
what less than seven hundred million,
aad it may be said. therefor e, that ev-
cry child BORN in this population
comes into the world with a national
debt of about thirty-two dollars sus-
pended about its neck, on which, as
soon as it Is able to produce anything,
It is asked to pay interest. If the peo-
pie of Europe would remember this
curious fact they would probably let
the Turks and Servian fight out their
battle aud forbid general European
war. In fact, they would demand a
general disarmament as the most SEN
sible course. The nations of Europe
live together in the attitude of robber
tribes, each of whom fortifies itself
against its Reighbors and maintains an
army to prevent the pillage of its la
boring people. The people of this
country are exceptionally happy that
they have need neither of fleets nor
armies. We live under the guardian
ship of the American eagle, and that
noble bird will not allow anybody to
modest US or make US afraid.

cheaper than buying new ones.
