AN ANSWER 10 CATHOLICUS.

To TIE Eprron OF THE HHraLD:-
In last Sundays issue OF the New York HERALD
read article ''Pricstiy Discipline" which tho
writer, who calls himself q Catholic, thinks has
shockingly degcnoratcd To the average mid-that
is. to oil who not in the least familiar with tho
clerical lfesome of the statements forth by my
ediiying friend would appear highly misleading IL
not actually scandaious. 10 he able to view things
in the proper light should first cncavor to place
himself in those circumstances which may render
the object III ~ striking . manner as possible,
whether our mental or moral vision In concerned.
To say that my amiable aud critical friend has
done would be to have no respect whatever for devo-
ton TO the sublime and Fundamental principle Of
morality. truth. Oh. how great is human frailty
Still, dare to erect ourselves into pompous judge
of those affairs about which we know nothing or
dictate to our superiors, who, not like their mali
cious revilers. make the profession OF their anxiety
about the welfare ot Christianity but the cloak for
their hostility aud pride. H "Catholcus would
overhaul the Bible occasionally his Ignorance OF
very solemn Injunction. Judge not anu thou shait
not be judged" would never have placed him ia
the critics char. But seneca wrote, "Nufun, est
,pdynsm ingcn,um sircoHqad mirura nsci,ns,a. II
with you all days" says tho saviour OF mankind.
''eyen unto the contamination OF the world. so
that II discipline should loose its grasp on the clergy
that could not under any shape or form. affect d-
vine faith, which is rs interchangeable as
God Himself. True Christianity does not do
who IL the origin and source OF its sacred doctrines,
who s light itself. and, therefore, where there Is
Light there can be no darkness. "Cathocus labors
under wrong Impression when he attributes sordid
and selfish motives to the clergy when they appeal
to their congregations for the purpose of raising
money. 1 do not dispute the point that wo often
hear appeals for the purpose alluded TO. but why
they madcf "Cathohcus" knows well | do
that the Church has expenses to meet has debts TO
pay OIL schcohouses, churches and residences TO
erect, well AZ numerous other ways otcontractng
debts. The money raised goes back to the people
aud their children in the shape of churches, school,
houses &c. Nor is this done TO the detriiuent OF
single individual. The salvation OF the soul receives
mostly all their attention. This IL their mission,
aud no chance ia allowed to pass. rs "Cath0licus''
darcs insinuste when the salvation OF q single soul
becomes known Although appeals constantly
heard for money, for every miserably small pittanco
deposited within the church hve times the
amount crosses the counter ot some gin mill Away,
then. with your vile imputatonsl DO not seoi or
sneer NJ what you do not understand. When carp.
lug critics allow prcjudice aud ignorance 10 warp
their Judgments then 1t IL about time for Mr. 'Ca-
tholicus ana many others to bewail the lack OF q
suihcicntly keen perception aud to hide their braseu
faces in shame ana uson.

A LECTURING CHINAMAN.
CHAN PoY KwAI AND HIS LECTURE ON THE
CHINESE PROBLEM.

CHAN POY KWAI AND HIS LECTURE ON THE
CHINESE PROBLEM.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
Chan Poy Kwai. the most advanced of the Rev.
Otis Gbsons Chinese graduates into Christianity, and
who leaves for the East this morning to deliver
series of ready made lectures the Chinese prob
lem rehearsed OF them last Saturday night at the
rooms OF the Chinese Mission on Washington street
to about dozen invited guests. that they might per-
sonally know Of his eficiency Mr. Kwai. who ia
about thirty years OF age. remarkably intelligent
looking for . Chinaman. He dressed in Chinese
court costume, which consists of blue sack reach.
ing from tho neck to midway between tho thighs ana
knees. aud underneath it still bluer sack. the vsi
BILE part of which, reaching to the ankles, is very
eaborately quilted. The customary queue and silk
skull cap completed the costume. Chan speaks Eng
lish almost perfectly, nearly that il heard
him without seeing him he would suppose he was
listening to the speech of an educated American If II
were not for occasional slight difficulty with
final s and distinctness OF pronunciation that in
any but foreigner would be considered aitecSa.
ton. Chan is of quite
sArnIcAL TURN OF MIND.
Said he:-"It has been gravely charged that China

work and make money out OF the whito people.
admit the truth OF the charge that they come hero
ones who come here to do otherwise. but there arc
very few of them 1t follows from the very necessity
Of the reasoning that the white people the other
hand abandoned pleasant homes and all the comforts
established civilization aud Ut the daily peril
of their lives fordcd turbulent rivers, fought lreach
tains and crossed arid plains solely and alone get
religion 1t is to be regretted that the Chinaman has
succeeded so much better than the white man." OF
Of what Mr.. Kwai calls the prosecutions of tho
Chinese he says:-"Platoons of white policemen in
the dead of night burst open with batcrng rams tho
doors and windows OF Chinese tenements and arrest
heathcn Cinnamon by the score because each one Is
supposed not to have 500 cubic feet of air. and for
the violation of this Christian law they thrust
into
CHRISTIAN JAIL
where they have far less than hundred feet each;
but then suppose they proceed upon the theory
that it is more than i've times harder to exhaust
the oxygen of Christian air than Of Chinese" Says
Kwa:-' The Chinese must go is the slogan of tho
Caesar of the San Francisco hoodlums aud Is echoed
by all the bummers, demagogues aud politicians
who are seeking place; but the decent and respect
able portion Of the community even this coast
more temperate in their opposition" He con
trGdicts the idea that the Chinaman cannot be
Christianzed. China forced into the great
family OF nations. and now IL is attempted to drive
1t out again. He claimed that. while OF all European
Immigration very large per cent is ignorant in tho
last degree there is hardly in thousand Of that
from China who does not know ut least how to read
