BALTIMORE, Nov. 10.-With fitting

Ruration Of the first Congress Of Catholic
laymen held In tho United States, and
the dedication OF the new national uni
versity for Catholics. Fully 10. 600 stran-

promised spectacle-four times as many
people, not counting local Catholics, as

pIsADUsED OF OLD NOTIONS.

Intelligent Protestants are gradually
disabused of the old notion that the
Catholics exalt the Blessed Virgin to q
position equal to that of the Son, that
priests can forgive sins according to their
pleasuJe, that images may be adored
after tho fashion Of the pagans, that the
Bible should not be read and other ab-
surd supposed doctrines and practices of
the Church. Because of the enliRhten-
ment and because Of the high character
of American converts In tho past it is
possible that some Of the ablest defenders
Of the Church in this coming century will
be men who are at present in the ranks Of
her opponents.
MAGNIFICENT FUTURE.
A magnificent future is before the
Church in this country If we are only
true to her, to the country, and to our
selves. She has demonstrated that she
can live and move onwards without state
influence; that the atmosphere OF liberty
il most oongenial to her Constitution and
most conducive to her progress. Let us
be cordially American in our feelings
and sentiments, and, above all, let each
individual act out in his personal lille
and character the spirit Of his Catholic
faith.
On ourselves depends the future Of the
