Views of an Independent on the Contest
Between Catholic and Protestaats.
CHICAGO, March 5.-Profsssor David
Swing preached last night in Central
Music Hall Oh the subject, The New
Catholics. In the course OF his sermon,
referring to the controversy between
Catholicism and Professionalism, Mr..
Swing said:
"Much as it is regretted that the Cath
Ole Church does not endorse and make
use of the public schools and thank God
for republic that compels the taxes
| of the rich to give common education
to all the children, even those of the
most poor, yet we must all be- in judg-
| meut the most just, and must not assume
that to oppose our school system is any
| proof that the days Of blood and torture
are to return. In these days religious
| opinions do not mean guns. Once they
did, but that was long ago, and in those
times, when opinions meant guns and
swords, they had that import among the
Protestants. The shadow of the sword
fell on all churches. AS no church
could escape the dominant ideas of the
earlier time, so no church can escape the
happier philosophy of the present period
Gums for one means guns for all, and
now federation for one means liberation
for all. Those societies that are now
arming themselves must be composed of
Professionals and Catholics of the hum
blest mental equipment. Il is full time
for thu higher and calmer classes to
speak out in favor of peace. IL would
be disgrace to our country should a
single Protestant or Catholic be slain in
the name of any church of Jesus Christ.
Under the influence of our schools, liter
ature and freedom, fanatieism ought to
disappear from religion aud permit its
large place to be occupied by charity and
pity"
