America to-day--R hnRnclRl system
which enables the few to control the
currency Of the country, and thereby
to plunder the masses. He has read
English history unproftsbly also if
he has not learned that the masses
Of the English people were most
prosperous during the NapOleonic
wars when money was plenty and
cheap, and that the decline of their
prosperity began with the destruC-
tion of their money. Napoleon him
self observed that it was not the
British army so much as English
paper money that led to his defeat.
He infers the prosperity Of England
from the fact that she has become
the clearing house of the world.
Does he meas ure The prospersty Of a
country by the prosperity of its gam
blers and bankers? This country is
prosperous also measured by that
standard.
He says the ADVOCATE Of Novem-
Der Ia proposed system of public
improvements to remedy the evils
which affliCt uA He certainly knows,
or ought to know, that the ADVOCATE
did not propose this as the remedy,
the panaCes which was to revolution

remedy for one condition which de-
msnds immediate relief, and cannot
comfortably wait for snch changes in
our land system as will enable every
idle man TO become 9 prosperous
farmer with money in the bank. He
says men 'are not starving on aC-
count of bad roads," and "sre not
ragged on account of the absence of
elegant buildings to beautify our
cities" Very true; but they are
starving for tU0nt Of aUOrk, and the
erection Of public buildings where
needed, and the construction Of good
roads a0hicb are needed eUerySUbere,
would afford this work and relieve
the immediate and pressing necessi"

The statement that the govern

Chicago and will sail on Tuesday for japan,

gentle and womanly face. famed in soft gray
hair. Her dress last nigh was OF the plainest

MOTHER OF sSECTARIANISM.
Individual interpretations of the
Bible Cause Confusion.

Rev. w. FL. Moreand's fourth sermon In a
series on "The Cburch' was heard with intense
interest by large congregation at ST. Lukes
Church. These sermons are to be printed by
the church club.
Mr.. Moreland spoke yesterday on "The
Church, the Teacher OF the Gospel and the
Interpreter OF the Bible" He said: "Men
have used the Bible for a purpose for which ir
was never intended. They have put IL into the
hands OF people and bid them pick and choose
a gospel out OF it for themselves. The result il
endless controversy and confusion. This method
has proved the mother OF sectarianism, and
still brings forth endless sectS. Eyeiy fanatic
or impostor or dreamer of lies claims support
from the Bible. THIS theory convicts q cd of
incapaclty. Believe that tile church of God Is
the interpreter OF The Bible and you are a true
Catholic Believe that each man is tree to
make up religion for himself and you are a
sectariaD."
MIR. MOreland drew picture of the darkness
and perpleXiiy caused by individual nterpreta-
tions OF the Bible and said the Scripture itself
points TO teacher and guide. which is the holy
Catholic church.
"The church comes first historically then
the New Testament 1t is only from the testi-
mouy of the church we know the book to be the
Bible. An awful peril Is before sectarianism in
have lost your Bible. Every American in
whom true patriotism is burning should set his
face against sectariaDisn. The ancient creeds
are the eternal voice OF the living church. They
are proven by Scripture. The church doesn't
settle opinions about uneSsental matters.
When controversies arise ask, What has the
church held from the beginning? That decides

LOUISVILLE. KY. May 6-The Courier
Journal in an editorial to-day declares that
Breckenridge should bs beaten sfor re-

"The situation in the Ashland district is
unprecedented and makes it imperative
that every journal which has the good OF
the party at heart. which cherishes the
honor of it's State aud which apprecia tes
its obligations TO society. shall protest with
all its power against the reelection to
Congress of Colonel w. c. 2. Breckin-
ridge We do not underrate what he
has done for his parry and the
cause of tariff reform IN the past. But if
his ability for future usefulness were not
destroyed by the miser able scandal which
has darkened his name the party could
not afford to accept his services
at the price it would be forced
10 pay. 1t is idle to attempt
to obscure the issue with sophistical dis
tinction between Colonel Breckinridge's
public and private life. 1t has gone far be-
yond the possibility of that. The question
simply is, do the people of Kentucky
propose 10 send as a representative
to Congress the man whom Colonel
BreckiDridge confessed himself to be in
bis testimony before a Washington jury !?
Il is a question which transcends the
limits of the Ashland district of Kentucky
itself. 1t is a question which the people
of the entire nation are deeply interested
in. Th&t part of his speech Yesterday de-
voted to the scandal in which he figured

strange exhibition of marvellous affront-
cry, wretched taste and mentally and

Anniversaries at DIR. MaCkenZie'S
CIlurch-Dr. Walk Treats the
Lesson Of the Cross.

The mission to be given by Father Noel
ler and Father Finnegan at ST. 1gnatlus
Church was opened yesterday morning at
half-past 10 O'Clock. High mass was ceie-
brated, and toward its close Father Noel
Ter entered the pulpit to preach the first
sermon of the mission. His text was the
words of the Savior-"Come to me all ye
who labor and who are heavily burdened
and l will refresh YOU"
Life is full of miseries," lie said in sub
stance. but God has compassion on man
in his aft ction. and we could have no bet
ter proof OF this compassion than the in
carnation of lis only son, who became
man and assumed all our miseries. None
were more lOrdly than the son OF God.
None suffered more in body or nina.
Christ had compassion on the afflicted,
for he healed their diseases and comforted
them In their sorrow. But there is
greater evil than richness and SORROW
sin-whlch attacks the heaven born spirit
of man and makes him leper in the sight
of heaven. But God has compassion on
sinners and he sent his son 10 save them.
He was never severe to those who re-
pented. Mary Magdalen was typical
sinner, who, when forgiven, had the place
II honor at the foot of the cross with
Mary, he virgin mother. and John, the
beloved disciple"
The speaker then took the phrases OF
the passion Of Christ TO show how freely
he forgave the injuries inflicted by his
enemies. and then appealed TO his hear
ers to emulate the divine example in their
various walks of life. He closed with the
parable of the pr0digal son, and It's appl-
cation TO the subject of his address.
In the evening Father Flnnegan ad-
dressed the congregation after the rosary
had been recited. His remarks were on
the theme suggested by the verse OF scrip
ture: what doth il profit man if be
gains the whole world and lose his own
s0ul?"
or the responsibilities of the Christian
he had much to say, emphasizing at the
same time that all Christian responsibilities
tended toward the saving Of souls. The
Christian, he said, should bend 10 Gods will
completely In everything he does, and
during all time. 1t is not Incompatible
for good Christian to be a successful
business man, nor is it impossible for a
man to mingle with the world and attend
TO his work and to serve God at the same
time. BY fla thful adherance to the laws
of the church and by attention TO
worldly duties man may serve
God at all times, and by so doing he
saves his soul. "How valuable that soul
s," continued the speaker. 'can be judged
from the fact that Christ was willing 10
purchase its redemption with his blood.
The least return for his sacrifice is that
we observe his laws. and after death we
remain with him for eternity"
The mission will be Continued for two
weeks. The first Of these will be de-
voted to services designed especially for
women, the second weeks devotons will
be more for men. AT both services yes
terday the church was full much beyond
its seating capacity. and the doors and
aisles were blocked.
