Nine. Emile Hyacinthe Loyson is
one of the many American women who
have married distinguished foreign ers.
The name of Pere Hyacinthe is known
wherever religious liberty and justice
are sought, and honored wherever
known. The name of his wife is
scarcely less known, and her lecture at
the Peoples church tonight, which is,
by the way, free. will be one OF the
most interesting events OF the season.
In person, Nine. Loyson is tall aud OF
fine presence. Her striking intellectual
face is not of type one would expect
in an American woman, born in New
York, of New England descent. "a
Yankee French woman" Nine. Loyson
calls herself, but her face is the type of
no nation. Its kindness and charity
are as catholic as the religion she
talks of. The dark hair is parted
smoothly at little to one side, and is
laid back simply under quaint black
veil. fastened by a comb at the crown.
The only outward symbol OF her work
is cross hung about her neck by a
black ribbon.
1t is twenty years since she married
the great preacher of Notre Dame in
England. After her marriage she re-
turned to France with Pere Hyacinthe,
and went to Geneva in a short time. 1t
was in Geneva that her son, remark
ably beautiful boy, was born, and 1t was
in Geneva that il great part OF the early
work was done.
The work, Nine. Loyson's whole
soul, is the re-establishment of the
Catholic not the Roman church. In
France, religious liberty is still denied,
by the conc0rdat of the first Napoleon.
To repeal this, in order that the Gallo
churchmen, Who number 30,000,0O0, in
France may have public churches, Is
one of the tasks the church to which
Nine. Loyson belongs is attempting.
Pere Hyacinthe's friends are not found
ing new sect. They are simply re-
founding the old Catholic church, which
dates back to the second century. The
subject is one of great interest, but IS
not at all understood in America.
Nine. Loyson is an intensely interest
ing woman, and loves the land of her
birth.
American politics are strange to her,
but she pronounceS eX-PreSident Cleve-
land one Of the most agreeable men she
ever met. On hearing her talk Of her

the work, and its political as well as re-

France.
1t is of her work that she talks most.
with the irresistible eloquence of ear
nestnesS. Her voice is mellow and re-
sonant, and the hint of the French
woman now and then in word or ges-
ture is all added charm. Her work is
not thing that can be explained IN a
brief paragraph, but forms the subject
matter of the entire lecture this evening.
She has only words of love and charity
for all churches of whatever sect or
creed, and tells with pleasure that at

month, there were representatives from

condemnation of Rome passes her lips.

lican church, and hearing for her
