LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct 25.-The echoes
Of the Colunbian celebration of last
Friday have stirred upin this city n re-.
ligious strife that has grown to be de-
-cidedly sensational. 1t begun Sunday
a week ag7, whGn a prominent minister
assaiicd tho Catholics for claiming so
much credit in the discovery Of Amer
ica. This was foiipyeG last Friday by a
sermon from Dr. Betts,an Episcopal min
liter, who styles hiinsclf Father Belts. {"
He attaci5cd the Catholics in breadest
terms, aad Snn lay Rey. ]. L. Q'Neill,
of the Dominican church defended the
Catholic church, and from the pulpit
denounced Father Bolts as base liar
He quoted this from Father Belts SER
mon: "Columbus must smile to-day, ifit
is given him 10 smile, at the conceit and
self-satisfaction OF a religious body that
claims him for it's own, now that four
hundred years have passed away;
body that ridieuled, embarrassed and
nullified him in the days of his strug-
gle, but which to-day steps to the front
and assumes ali the honor. due him"
Rev. ONeill then branded the author as
"a barefaced liar, Unworthy of the sup
port OF moral people
Rev AIckamy, of the First Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church, denounced
Columbus from the pulpit as liar, a
pirate, an associate of lewd women, a
slave trader, a adeserter OF his wife, and
a man utterly without one Christian
principle. He said he was not led to
the discovery through an interest for
science, but sordid love for gold, and
this hero worship was out of place.
The Spiritualists held a Columbus
meeting, called down" the great mari
ner's spirit and found that he was
laughing lin his sleeve at the honors
here in his memory.
Priests and preachers are in manner
clearing the decks FOR action.

he uttered brief but eloquent petition
to Almighty God to confer his blessing
upon the great undertaking.
''In praise of God" selection from
