which he hath purchased with his own
blood
The preacher drew a comparison between
earthly and spiritual rulers The one took
cognizance OF outward actions only; ths
other was q dominion OF the intellect and
heart. The order Of the episcopacy is the
highest In the church OF a holy order, hs
said: everything above 1t was solely Of juris-
diction. In urging the honor and obedience
that are due to the pope as the head Of the
episcopate, Archbishop Ryan said: 1--WE
have recently seen now Mohutflul ana uill-
yersal was the tribute paid to the present
great occupant of the chair of Peter by the
whole world Even now, without armies to
back him, he is honored by the kings Of tho
earth as representing a power stronger than
that of armies-a power which they cannot,
dare not defy. We know the secret Of that
power, but the outside world, not acznowI-
edging it as OF divine institution, calls it by
various names Thus an English Protestant
periodical, The London Standard, speaking
Of the recent visit Of the German emperor to
, the pope, says: 1T is not displeasing to see
these great military monarchs, with 90
2 many trumpets before and such vast
e material force behind them, compelled
Z to treat with a power absolutely non-ma,
terial obliged TO acknowledge that a sover.
0 eighty may be real, though it is powerless
J. except for its sway over the minds and i'm
r aginations Of a section Of mankind The
! papacy is fighting unconsciously the battle
d Of all the world.in
e The archbishop went on 10 argue the
O divinity Of this power Of the church II was
4 a power which seemed intangible, and yet il
l. served to force the great kaiser to the side Of
e the sovereign who had neither armies mon
l. lands. who ruled by the superior right OF
d Thought. The outside world recognized the
It papacy not only as great religious power
n but a great moral power to protect the liber
Il ties of all men against physical force.
