In the course of his paper Mr.. Myers said
that It was the boast of the church of Rome
that she never changes. Though there have
been times when she did not hesitate to deviate
from her troddeu paths. there have been two
points by which she has stood with remarkable
tenaeity. The first of these. Mr. Myers said.
Is her uniform opposition To the free circuia-
ton Of the Holy Scriptures This is one OF tine
chief points wherein she differs ErOm the Prot
estant church The second OF these is her set
purpose and the methods Of propagating her
own interests.
Two very different causes have contributed
70 her present contiitio,.-the French revolu-
tion and the rise of Methodism and similar re-
hgions- Rev. Mr. Myers outlined the tracta-
ran movement at Oxford. and remarked that
the doctrine OF the church Of England now
works in the interest Of an advanced sacer-
dotalism.
Speaking Of the four classes of people. upper.

The last speaker of the morning was Rev
Vim. Nicholas. MA, DID, who spoke upon
''Romanism as a Religious Power He pre-
there are good and truth. Rome he character
lied as a religious power. but power in whose
teachings. moral and intellectual, are MANY
and gross corruptions.
He attacked the ritual of Rome as well as its
doctrines OF papal infallibility of confession
the assumption of the virgin, the exaltation of
the power of the priest and the pope whom
the speaker said he had heard an archbishop
refer to as the representative on earth Of the
power of God in heaven. In the centuries of
its history. DIR. Nicholas said, Rome had &C.
complished much good, but on the whole her
existence had resulted in much greater evil
The debate upon the resolutions during the
business hour had taken much time that
there was no time left for supplementary
speeches at the conclusion of the regular pro-
gram, and after DIR. Nicholas address was fin
ished the conference adjourned with the dox-
ology and the benediction, which was pro.
nounced by Bishop Hurst.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
The subject of the afternoon session, which
began at 2:3O o'clock. was Temperance" The
essay was delivered by Rev. Il. II. Mahon, D. D.
OF the VI. Z. church south. The addresses were
by Thomas Worthington esq, Independent,
methodist and Free Gospel church; Rev. c. H
Phillips, ID. d., Colored NJ. Z. church in Amer
lea. and Rev. 5. Antliff, d. D.. of the Primitive
Methodist church.
The trustees of tine American Cniyersit,

The horses had been groomed until they
looked as slick glass. and the fire apparatus
was rs bright as polished silver. All we're hand
somely decorated with flags and flowers and
the men looked like they had lust come out
of a band box
The Presiden, was greatly pleased with the
display. and intenty scrutinized the apparatus
as it passed by. He took more interest in the
horses than anything else. and whenever
an extra handsome pair came along he called
the Commissioner attention to it. After the
procession had passed by he congratulated the
Commissioners upon the handsome display and
Commissioner Ross acknowledged it and
thanked the President on behalf Of the depart
ment- The parade was great success.

sponsibilty is democratic in its tendency. Moth
ing else on the face of the earth is so absolute
as Romanism. The word pope contains it all
The entire priesthood is directly bound to him
but separated by celibacy and prerogative from
the common life of the mass of the people. We,

commission at the Confessional
Along the priestly channels a papal act il
speedily executed, and. if desired, in pro-
founl secrecy. Thus one will is omnipo-
tent over more than 200 OOO. 900 of hu.
man beings and all these hearts beat under the
impulse of an ambition as relentless us fate.
Hence, with supreme ease and resistless might
Rome is able to handlepolitical forces.
Does Romanism politically change for the
better! At the center, no: at the circumfer-
ence. YES. In 1870 the Vatican council voted
the dogma of papal infaliibility and Plus IL
procliimedit 10 the world. Though this dogma
was cautiously worded to embrace matters of
faith and morals, the word morals may be made
to cover all the relations of man With man and has
been thus construed. hence embracing the
whole domain of legislation. This degree of
infallibility fathers all the papal usurpations
occurring in the lifetime of the church. Thus
historically the papacy Is one. The pope is as
eager for temporal power as he ever was. He
plays he Is a prisoner solely as n ground for
the need of Temporal! sovereignty.
But the political vitality of Romanism is
becoming depleted. In America certainly
there are rcsistless forces of disintegratiou Mt
work. The church in her traditional life suf-
fers at every point of contact with our civiliza-
ton. The energy and drift Of thought are too
much Tor her, for nothing can withstand the
march of rational thought.
TO maintain her influence every ecclesias-

spiritual affairs. Political rights are priestly
rights, they are manhood rights. All the civil
rights of a community belong to individuals as
individuals The time is drawing near when
the world will understand this great truth that
power does not grow out of office. 1t does not
descend to the people, but it rises
ont of the nature and interests OF in
Giyidual human lives. The spirit of
independent manhood is taking possession of
all these lands and the people will scorn eccles-
iastical dictation- There are intelligent
Catholics in this country, like Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishop Ireland, who plainly see that
if the church is to flourish and get the most out
OF the times they sweep onward she
must not waste her energies in an
unequal fight with our enlightened and pro-
gressive civilization, but that she must clasp
hands with it and make it her ally. In the
subjective freedom of the individual life they
find the energies that must be relied upon to
build for the ages"
