His Holiness asked how the Protes-
I tant part of America received his utter
ances. and Was assured that the people,
without respect TO particular churches,
listened with deep respect and sym
pathy 10 his appeals for a more charita-
Bile and unselfish spirit in society. Said
Leo:
y feel sure that Il is so. Ivsnt the Prot
estauts as well a. the Catholics 10 esteem me.
They may all be sure that have a very ceep
and real affection for them. In America the
vicar of Christ IS respected, but II is not always
SO ia Europe.
These are times OF social unrest and impend-
ing disorder. There is no power which can
eesl with anarchy. socialism and dscontent
but organized religion. which viii restore
morality 10 society. The results oi the Efforts
/ which have been made 10 throw aside Chris
I uanity and live without il can De seen in the
present condition Of society. Discomfort
hatred and profound unhappinegS. have
studied how 10 bring about a Change, and while
/ live I will labor 10 relieve the world OF this
terrible confusion. The suffering and helpless
ness OF the working people is source OF great
anxiety and grief 10 me. Their troubles have
been largely due 10 the enemies Of Christian
morality who want 10 see Christian history
ended and mankind returned 70 pagan life.
There are two things In the world al present
F that receive special attention-slavery and the
social question. TO abolish slavery have Is.
tablished colleges and am sending out mission
aries into Africa. Whenever men are held in
bondage the true way tofree them is 70 educs.e
and Christianize them An enlightened man
can not be enSlaved
For that reason / shall devote the energies
OF the church 10 the spread OF knowledge
among the poor savsges Humanity must aid
me TO teach these unfortunaIes sno save them
from slavery, for he social question can only
be solved by increasing the morality Of the
world. While Christian morals governed there
was no such con-ition Of affairs as we SEQ to
day. but with the efforts to DESTROY religion be
gan the evils which are agitating society. The
social troubles can not lie cured unless man
kind comes back 70 some principle.
The governments OF the various nations
must do their work and must do mine. Their
work is local and particular such as the en-
forcement OF the laws Of labor or such amelia
tory measures seem wise. but nay
work as the head OF Chr.stendom must
be universal and on different plan.

The moral condition Of beth the working man

Referring TO the subject Of European
disarmament, be said that a military
life surrounds thousands OF young
men with violent and immoral
influences, and crushes and de-
grades them. Armies drain countries
Of their wealth; they withdraw

The doctrine Of arbitration as accepted

most of the men controlling Europe do
not desire the truth.
