THE POPr'S EDICT.
Said to BE the Result of the Oath
Taken by knights OF Pythias.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec 3o.-Dr. II. L. C.
White, supreme keeper of records and seals,
knights of Pythias, in an il lew con-
corning the order and the I papal
edict, says:
1T seems that it is a matter With each
individual must settle for himself, and
take it that each Catholic knight of Pythias
will have to settle with himself the COM
parative ties binding him to the absolute
obeyance of the temporal DEGREES CT the
Pope or the observance of the bind
ing him TO his fraternity. / presume the
effect may be different in various lccali-
ties The devout Catholic who thinks that
every wish of the Pope must be sacredly
observed will feel he must Withdraw. Con-
versey, the man who considers himself
his own master in worldly affairs will re-
main in the order If he Is devoted 10 its
principles. L have talked with several local
Catholic knights of Pythias concerning the
question and they all say they intend TO
remain in the order. This pronouncement
Of the Pope against the knights OF Ply thias
comes, / believe, from the advanced and
pronounced requirements of our order. Ihe
Supreme Lodge has decreed ttal each men,
Der must be loyal to the government under
which he lives in preference "a all other
allegiance. You can see where that would
fail to please the Pope.

Rev. David L. Mckenzie, Of the First

upon the commandment, Thou shalt not
commit adultery. This is the seventh of
the commandments of the Mosaic law in

he said, Is one deserving OF the most seri-
Gus consideration in religious teaching. but
yet it is one that is seldom the text of
the lessons sounded from the pulpit Some
seem. he said, to think the law has no
place in this age OF gospel preaching but
the commandments of the law are still the
voice of Christian me rails. The moral law
Is not restricted In its force to mems
bodies but has spiritual meaning clearly
binding upon the soul as we'll There is,
perhaps. the preacher continued, no COM
mandment more violated than this one,
and yet there is none more heinous in the
sight of God. or one which makes the soul
more certain OF destruction unless surely
repented of. 1t was the violation of this
moral law that caused the overthrow OF
the ancient civilization and 1t was i'm
morality that swept away the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah. The evils arising
from this cause are perfectly appalling.

IMPOSING CEREMONY
sAToLLI AND GIBBONS TAKE PART
- az ST. PAUL'S DEDICATION.
Notable Gathering Of High Dfgnita ries
in the American Church In WASH
ingtOn Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Archbishop
Satolli and Cardinal Gibbons took part to-
day in the imposing ceremony attending
the dedication of st. Paul's Catholic Church.
1t is seldom that SO many of the heads
of the American church are brought to-
gether at a church event. Besides the
Cardinal and papaI delegate there were
present Bishop Ryan, of the Catholic Uni
versity; Bishop Curtis of Delaware; Father
Richards, priest Of the Georgetown College;
Father Sharretti, secretary to the papal
delegate, and about thirty other ecclesias-
tics of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and elsewhere. Letters had been received
from Archbishops Corrigan, Ireland, Ryan
and from many bishops. The new church
as one of the handsomest in Washington
and this, together with the fact that il
represents the life work of its pastor,
usual gathering of church dignitaries
At 10 o'clock Cardinal Gibbons performed
the dedication services. In the scarlet robes
bishops priests and acoytes, about the ex-
terror walls of the building, sprinkling
holy water on them and blessing them.
Then the procession entered the church
where the Cardinal first blessed the altar.
and then the inetrior walls He concluded
the service with brief address, congratulate
ing the congregation having such a
structure and urging them to speedily free
It from the last penny OF debt. Pontlflcal
high mass was then celepateQ with Arch
bishop Satoli as the celebrant- HIS throne
of rich purple drapery was at the right
of the sanctuary. while opposite was the
heavily draped scarlet throne of the Car;
dinal. These, with the two richly robed
neads of the church, and back Of them
the several bishops in their purple gowns,
and the priests and deacons and servers,
formed most impressive scene. Arch
bishop Satolli assisted IN the mass by
Rev Father Gillespie with Father Schmidt
as deacon and Father Dyer. of Baltimore,
as subdeacon. Besides these assistants the
papal delegate was attended by two deaeons
of honor, Rev. Father Richards, of George
town College, and Rev. Father Stephan.
Cardinal Gibbons attended by two
deacons of honor, Rev. Fathers Gloyd and
Griffith. The sermon was preached by
Bishop Curtis and was an earnest and
eloquent presentation of the need OF faith
to high and low alike-to kings, emperors
and presidents as we'll as to those humber
born An orchestra assisted in the elaborate
music of the mass.
Contrary to expectation no reference was
made at this service, nor In the service
elsewhere to-day to the recent church edict
against secret societies and II Is understood
t6at Cardinal Gibbons will allow the new
regulation to become operative without
formal announcements from the pulpit from
fbsd diocese.
