hypocritep or whether this epithet is to be
applied with greater force to the man from
whom il came. He also calls In question
my statement concerning Faber, from whom
I uuoted in my last article, and says,
"Wrong again. Mr.. D." now turn to the
title page of Faber's Difficulties of Ro-
manism" and / find the following:
''Christ's Discourse at Capernaum, Fatal
TO the Doctrine of Transubstantiation, on
the very Principle Of Exposition, adopted
by the Diviues of the Roman Catholic
Church and SuieidaHy Maintained by DR..
WissmGn." And now let the public also
Judge of this question and see whether am
wrong. He presumes also 10 ques-
ton the accuracy OF my trans
lation of the words of st. Cyprian which l
gave in my last article. In referring to
this he says, "The translation which he
gives in his letter this morning OF 81.
Cyprian's phrase 'qao Christi sangats
6Steadiur"-"which represents the blood
of Christi would be shameful coming from
the lips of q tyrO in Latin" Now If Mr..
K. desires a more literal translation ne
can have It. 1t seems that ne was able to
quote only four irOrd9 in the original but |
shall do better than that. Here IL the
Latin sentence aud the translation: "Quie
non protest, rideri, SanguiS. E&s, quo
redemti ct U~iriicdti Sumus, csss IN Cdiiee;
guandO riRum desit cdlici, quo Christi
]Saaguis osteRditur." Because his blood
by which we are redeemed aud
q~uickened, cannot seem TO he in the cup,
If the wine, by which the blood
Of Christ is represented, be not in the cup"
Now / ask the Latin scholars of Wheeling
to determine whether or not | am wrong.
And since Mr.. K. has branded me as IN
igaOramus and a fool, l suggest that We
assemble at SONS convenient place, IN the
presence Of impartial and competent judges,
and take soma Latin authors which
neither Of us has read and Their see who is
the igrO-amus aud fool. He would have
the public believe that the school boys Of
the Roman Catholic church are superior in
scholarship toany of our Protestant divines.
But who does not know that the Romish
Church is distinguished more for her
shameful superstition and profound ig-
nOrance, than for either intelli-
gence or morality. Aud l
would remind him that a string Of titles to
a mans nam gives him neither brains nor
knowledge. And yet a tyO must not dis
pute with him, or enter the arena Of pOlem-
les to discuss questions with one of such
profound knowledge as he claims TO pos
sass. And now l ask, Vino are you, sir?
aud where did you come from? What a
prodigy Of learning! Aud let me say at
this point, Notwithstanding St Cyprian
uaes the words seems and represented, plain
IL teaching that the wine is only a type Of
the Saviour'a blood, Mr.. K. tries to put a
BE in this old fathers mouth and make
him support the heresy of transubstantia-
ton. The emineDt(?) divine should
have more respect for the departed
saints than this; and l have no doubt
il the old father could come back from the
dead he would rebuke him TO his face.
A man whOssts himself up as the exponent
of the only true church, and stoops to such
a level, deserves the condemnation of all
Christian people. The learned (?) divine
also Gays, "As a confirmation of my ch lrge
against the Rev. D. that he is utterly
ignorant of disleCtic3 or the system of cor
rect reasoning, l will produce a specimen
of his foolish attempt to use intellectual
tools" He then cites the syllogism which
appeared in my reply to Rev. Ulfert, Feb
ruary 4th, 1888, when l was exposing the
fallacy ofRev. Ulfert's argument. would
say if Mr.. h. is not satisfied
with that statement of the argument land
certainly / was not he must take Mr.. U.
TO task. It's evident that Mr. X. is ignO.
rant OF the meaning of these words: Re
ductiO dd impossible" Bat ne states au-
other one of those 'Iit9e" syllogisms and
the conclusion is, "a good cheap preacher is
dear" But l would add q mcrceRdry Bishop
is delrer still, and as proofI cite the ninth
Canon of the ninth Council If Toledo.
DuPin says, SIT forbids a Bishop who
cometh to bury his brother to lake above the
value OF q pound of gold if the church be
rich, or n haif pound il the church be
poor" In concluding his article Mr.. K,
says, Il hare done With Mr.. D." / thought
when | wrote my last paper it was about
time for the Bishop to retire and call
the sch0Olboy. But my dear sir, the
people OF this community havelearned your
tricks, and as You retire from the field
they must know, that it is only another
attempt 70 shield yourself, ard evade what
you could not prove. He set cut TO prove
that upon the subject of Characterization
he had the authority of the Scripture and
the unanimous consent Of the fathers, which
the Council Of Trent requires at his hands.
/ proved the fallacy of his argument, and
showed that his position contradictcd
Christ and His Apostles, and was contrary
to the testimony of the fathers, rightly
interpreted. He then, finding himself
in a corner, laid for me a trap.
in the form of q syllogisDl. And
because l evaded the snare which
he had laid for my feet, by exposing the
fallacy of his first premise, he now, dis
comfited, raises a cloud of dust and retires
from the field shouting igHOrGmuS, ignO-
rGmus, ]igpordmus. The arguments which
I have advanced during this controversy are
in the hands of the people, and l only ask
that they give them due consideration. Let
the public kROtr, that John ]. Kahn, in as
Stunning 10 prove the heresy of transub-
sanitation, undertook that which he could
not accomplish, and his boosted efforts so
far, have ended in a miserable failure. And
now, in bidding nv friend farewell, I shall
use the words of an old seaman, in desCrjb-
ing an Inflated vessel:
