day t'thihS VIII We "I INC "ciuN OF we
promise John VII, and my fifth lecture on
the words Of the institution OF the Hoy
Eucharist. / 10 not ask OF the REGISTER
the unreasonable request TO publish these
lectures IN e~rtcaSO, but il the lev. Mr..
DRYDEN will accept the invitation ! now
publicly tender him, aud come to hear
these lectures, l shall do my best to disa
buse him of the false impression under
which he is laboriDg, that the Scriptures
do not teach the doctrine Of the real pres
ence. NY sixth and last lecture will con
tain a modicum of the almest endless tes-
timonies of the early fathers, and Mr..
Dryden must not be so unreasonable as to
ask me to anticipate for his convenience.
One favor | ask the gentleman: "Plclsc
verify your own quotations from the
Fathers" Mr.. Dryden imposed ON ME a
very unnecessary task il his first commu-
nicatiOu, He quoted a passage iluu Ire
naeus, with this reference: 'Idcm, book
4, {. 81" As he had not giyea any eta
ton before, | could rot Judge to what the
idem referred. Surprising it meant the
4lh book Of lreuIeu5 contra Ha,r,>,,.
took down that work and turned to ch. 81.
But in that chapter the writer il r%cfuting
the MarciOnites and other h]erclics who
maintained that the same God was not the
author OF both resttments; hut there is no
reference TO the Sacrament Of the Eucharist
in that chapter. After q ggcat deal Of
trouble, ! came upon the passage given by
Mr.. Dryden, i'll chapter xviii. Nos. / md J.
| will content myself with quoting the
context 4 little more fully aud let the
reader Judge lOr himself the true meaning
OF the writer. Mr.. Dryden himself
needs not, am sure, be told
that the Catholic Church teaches
very clearly, indeed, in h5r
dOgmatic t~reatiscs on the Eucharist and i'm
her c~atechi5ns, that the sacrament Goa.
