"A SUBSCRIBER" of the TRANSCRIPT,
presumably Of the Catholic faith, sends
us the following, which is said to be a
Protestant minister's candid opinion
about the Catholic church." which he re-
quests US to publish:
The Roman Catholic Church is the
oldest, largest and most influential organ
ization in Christendom. 1t possesses a
body Of doctrines that have stood the
test for centuries.
It has its belief in the Trinity, atone
ment and fallen nature. It offers infer
ior worship to the Blessed Virgin as the
Mother of God incarnate. Worship IS
also given to angels and saints; but all
| worship given to saints, and prayers and
| litanies given to them are but appeals to
them to appeal to God for US throu ghJesus
| Christ.
Christ has power to forgive sins and del
egated that power to his disciples.
admire this Church for her preserva-
ton of the legends, histories, literature,
and the worship of the early Christian
| centuries.
She esteems highly the work of the
early Christian centuries. She esteems
| highly the work of the early Fathers.
She has been ever the patron of art and
| the works of the worlds greatest artists
were painted to adorn her churches, and
| the finest music composed to enrich her
| service There is all-imposing richness,
dignity and grandeur in her form of
worship. l admire her unrelenting op-
position to materialsm and skepticism.
She will be found to be in tins land the
intolerable enemy of atheism, agnostic-
ism and intidelity. The conflict that is
now among us is that between religion
and god.essness, virtue amp vice, right
eousness and religion.
admire her position on the subject
of marriage and lax laws of divorce.
She only permits a separation for the
cause spoken of by Christ as just ground
for divorce, and does not permit either
party to contract another marriage.
In this she teaches the State q wise les
son, and sets noble example to all other
churches. The great number of orphan
asYlums she sustains, her church temper
ance societies, and the noble work of
the Sisters of Charity, ministering on
the battle fields and in hospitals to the
sick and the dying, command our admira'
ton.
The untiring devotion of the priest
hood, and her noble missionary labors, are
worthy of our imitation. She has $780,
GO, coo members in the world.
She is all powerful in many European
countries. and is strong IN every nation.
She yields all these vast heterogeneous
forces with more unanimity and precision
of purpose than any other institution
that ever existed in our world.
In spite of our prejndices. let US frank
" acknowledge the unreasonable in
6uences for good that the Catholic Church
has exerted in the civilization oflthe diff
ferent nations, and our Indebtedness to
her for the preservation of vast treasures
| of Christian literature and art, and &C.

vancement of the kingdom of God and
its eternal Righteousness among men and

A FRENCH astronomer maintains that

A FRENCH astronomer maintains that
the earth is older than the sun. All the
planets. from Mercury to Neptune,
were formed first. The sun was a nebu-
lar mass far outside their orbits. Subse-
quently 1t passed over to the center of
the planetary system, and collected there
the grand luminary which we know.
Uranus and Neptune were then evolved
from the scattering fragments. having
satellites with retrograde motion. In
the present period life may have existed
first in the northern regions, as the fauna
and flora found there indicate. There
were no artic winters, the location of the
nebulous mass being such as to radiate
most heat upon the poles and that part
of the carth's surface so sadly neglected
in our present calorifc arrangement.
