THE SUNDAY QUESTION AGAIN.

The political creed, so TO express
IT, Of Americans is embodied in
that docuTent known as the Con-
s'itutlon. The legal and authori-
tative Interpreter of that Conslitu.
tion is the Supreme Court of the
United States. It's decisions hold
good against the private interpre-
talions OF any individual whatso-
ever. In fundamental rulings, its
decisions must be in accordance
with the Constitution - never
against it.
The religious creed of Catholics
is embodied in that document
known as Holy Scripture. The
legitimate and authoritative inter
prefer Of that Holy Scripture is The
Catholic Church. Her decisions
in matters Of faith and morals hold
good against the Interpretation of
any private individual whatsoever.
In fundamental matters touching
faith and morals her decisions
must he in accordance with Holy
Writ, never against it.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. hat
the bible-bolE old and new tesla
ment-ls The inspired word Of God. !
This is her Divine Constitution, 10
which she pays unreserved hom. |
age, vcneration and obedience. |
Where any truth of failh or morals
is plainly and unmistak ably laid |
down in Holy Writ. she not only
maintains that such authority is
supreme, but that there is no 9th.
er authority, merely human. even
comparable 10 it. Her mission is,
not 10 supercede Scriptural author.
ily, but TO explain, interpret and
preach Holy Writ unerrlngIy to
mankind.
To say that The Catholic Church
places her authority above Scrip
ture because she enforced the OBJ
servance OF a day of rest on Sun.
lay instead Of Saturday arises from
a confusion Of ideas. Disciplinary
avs are quite another thing from
truths of revelation.
If the Catholic Church had abol-
shed the observance of any dav of
est whatever. then Or. Byers
would be right II saying that she
,laced her authority above Scrip
nre. But tins she did not, aud
ould not do. In sanctioning the !
hange, she merely acted in ac-
ordance with apostolic lradilions,
S intimated, but not conclusively ;
roven. by those citations from
ioly Writ, made by DIR. Byers in 9
lis former article.
Neither does Papal Infalllbility q
rove DIR. Byers' thesis. Will any
ne MAINTAIN, that because the Su. Z
RENE COult is The highest and ,
lost authoritative Interpreter of :
he Constitution, it is, therefore, .
bove the Constitution BY no +
leans. In like manner, because
al hollcs believe the Pope infalli.
lie when speaking ex-cathedra on r
latters of faith and morals-or Z
ypoundiug Holy Scripture and its r
'adIlions--it does not follow that 6
iev believe the Pope to be above \
IOly Writ. or The Constitution of ii
lie Church. 1t merely follows
lat Catholics believe The Pope's
lthority, under the gwen condi- o.
ons, 10 be higher than that of any I,
her man in The Catholic Church. p
repeat then, Frst, The Catholic r
hurch does acknowledge the su. II

NATURAL GAS AS A GHOST.
The Strange Story of Why Its Frightened
Discoverer Left Land to Litigants.

The Strange Story of Why Its Frightened
Discoverer Left Land to Litigants.
INDIANA, Pa, May 2s.-A strange story of a
haunted bit of land comes from Burlington
township, this county, and the land in ques-
tion Will probably soon be in court. In lsl2
an eccentric Englishman took squatter pos
session of 440 acres of land in that locality.
and had he not been superstitious, his heirs
would likely now be in peaceful possession
of the land. When the Englishman settled
there there was great trouble. There were
fearful sounds in the woods, and when he
happened to drop lighted twig into spring
q blaze sprang from the water up into his
face and frightened him almost to death.
This was natural gas, of course, but to the
sQuatter, in those days of witches, it was
only an evil genius trying to destroy him.
Then the water issuing from the ground,
colored everything yellow, and when a tree
fell and formed cross by his door, supersti-
tion was too much for the man, and hastily
packing his effects, he Travelled into Ohio,
where he disappeared. William Tomb was
next to come into possession, and when the
land fell to the lot of his son, the latter
decided the entire place TO the Cambria Iron
Company. His two sisters entered suit, and
secured their two-third interest, and then in
turn sold to j. z. Douthitt, and he sold to
William Amhurst, of WeaYers, Westmore-
land county. Then it was discovered that
the land had never been patented and that
the original owner had left no papers or
deeds ofany sort, leaving a spook and law
suit for the present generation. The Cam
bria Iron Company and other owners are
trying to take care of their shares in opposi-
ton to several attacks, and the matter is
finally to be left to the Secretary of Internal
Affairs of the State for settlement.
