IMMORTALITY AND UNBELIEF.
Father CoghIan's Views of the Demoralizing
Effects of Modern Infdelity.

There was large audience in the spacious
| hall of st. Johns Catholic Church last evening
to hear an interesting lecture upon Modern In
fidelity and Morality" delivered by Rev j. l.
Coghlan, of the So. Louis University. The
reverend gentleman took up his subject
from logical standpoint, and from
the manner in which he dealt
with the immoral and the unbelisvine, it is
evident that he has been ndefatigable in his re-
search and perusal of scientific and phiosophi cal
writers. Father Coghan is a living en- CYCLIC
pedia and carried the facts of history at his
finger points in his lecture to verify the state
ments he made. which, in many instances sur-
prised his hearers.
He took strong grounds from the first against
The teachings and works of infidel writers in
this country, who are impressing their ideas of
religion upon the young people OF to day and
producing a general demoralizing effect
throughout the country. 1.-The in
said the reverend gentleman. ''they hold to the
bellef that lying. hcen tiousness and hypocrisy
are not immoral. like stealing if you don't get
caught at It," He said that infidels make good
out of all evSs by their narrow mode of reason
ing. Max Muller said. Enjoyment is good;
wealth Is good. as il produces enjoy
good if they accom- llsh their pnre
pose, and on with all vices. Even suicide
Is good if it ouiets troubled mind" Taking
the common sense view of his subject the
lecturer said: while believe in the Supreme
eng, yet must confess I know nothing of
Him. Common sense impels us to reason and
judge. hence we that there must be a
Supreme Being, and we know good from evil"
Then again the speaker argued: II am will
ing to accept the theory of the infdes if their
doctrine, promulgated by Robert Ineersoll
has accomplished any good.n With this Father
Coghlan quoted from statistics, showing the
proportional increase in the number
of crimes and brutal occurrences with
in the last half of century
The number of suicides was especially remarka
BILE. To this end he abored diligently with his
auditors; reading a large number OF reports
which he had compiled from the latest accounts
On the whole it was a studied effort and an in
terestng lecture lasting over two hours The
proceeds will go to local purposes.
