why HE LEFT THE CHURCH.
Evangelist Lsydeu Says Catholicism anC
the Constitution Conflict

Evangelist Leydeu Says Catholicism and
the Constitution Conflict.
Nearly 500 persons assembled in Masonic
Temple auditorium yesterday afternoon 70
listen to Evangelist Thomas E. Leyden 8
Reasons why I left the Roman Catholic
Church" The lecture was temperate pre-
sentation of the alleged abuses within the
church which led to his apostacy from its
ranks and his eyangelistie work against 1t.
It abounded in patriotic sentiments, which
were warmly applauded. and only once was
any voice OF dissent heard. That was when a
young Catholic priest Kissed because the
speaker claimed TO be better man Than the
Pope because of his American citizenship.
The lecturer proceeded TO show that Roman
Catholicism and American repubhcanism are
incompatible; that the church denies TO fol
lowers the rights guaranteed TO them by the
Constitution 10 political and religious opin-
ions Of their own; in other words to religious
and political tolerance. saying; For the day
has come when the Roman Catholic Church
dictates 10 many and tries to dictate TO all
how they shall worship and how they shall
vote, under penalty of It's displsssure."
In view OF these things he declared that any
person who bows unGuestioningly 10 the man
dates of the Roman Catholic Church IS inca
pable of being loyal 10 the Constitution. He
quoted from papers, books, and ecclesiastics
CT the church TO show that the highest allie
glance is held to be due, not TO the land Of
ones nativity, but to Pope and priest.
"Popery never changes" he said. 'She
may deck herself in the most beautiful gar
ments of American liberty, but she is only
hiding her true self and bidinG her time until
she can with safety to herself overthrow
American institutions"
Referring to his change of creed he said
''When was Ganointed with oil by the bishop
at my conservation as O priest and he spread
his hands over me and bade me receive the
Holy Ghost, with power to grant absolutor
for sin, did not receive either the Holy
Ghost or the power. I was in moral darkness
but there came time when 1 saw little
glimmer of light, when by searching the Scrip
lures l began to see the truth II then be
came a question whether the Bible was truu
or whether the teachings of the church wert
true.
II searched the Scriptures, and looked
over the wall which the Roman Catholic
| Church had built around me and | saw al
the creeds but one living in harmony. Oh
! the hill saw the public school with the chill
| dren of all creeds but one within its walls
| Against this school was arrsyed the one in
| harmonious creed, and that was the Roman
! Catholic Church. Taking all these things
| into consideration, after long struggle GoC
| gave me strength to come out OF 1t into tn

and he has given me- strength TO tell tn

AFTER THE CzAR's DEATH-wHArl

All Europe watches with acute anxiety the
reports given 10 the public about the health
Of Alexander, ruler of all the Russias.
That Death has marked him for his own is
no longer denied. The brutal frankness OF
DR.. Zacharin to his imperial patient may be
slightly discounted by DR.. Leydens more
optimistic declaration, but no one doubts
that the grave will soon hold another Roman

and the end viii have come.
How viii Aexander's death affect the in
ternai and external policies Of Russia? That
is the question to which not merely the diplo-
mats but the humanitarians of Europe are
seeking an answer. The latter are only con-
cerned with that phase Of the question which
involves the amelioration of the moral and IN
telectual condition ofthe lower grades of the
Russian population, and the uplifting OF
those upon the iron yoke of the present re-
gime rests most heavily. Fortunately for
them. the successor TO the throne is a man of
more generous impulses and more advanced
ideas on the subject Of the rights Of the people
than it's present occupant, and it may justly
be expected of him that he wiz do much 10

Senator Mcpherson has announced that he
will not again be candidate for the Senate.
Well there are plenty of Democrats in New

son. He is excused.-Atlanta Journal.

less latitude in the matter OF sugar specula-
ton and yielded more TO the advice from
that quarter relative to a reelection, it might
not haye been necessary TO have written the
letter of fdeclination.-Wa Washington News.
Senator Mcpherson is not feeling well.
After mature deliberation and aided by the
rude frankness of the Democrats Of the 5th
New Jersey district when they were repudiat-
ing Cadmus, he has decided that he is not
well enough to undertake campaign for re-
election 10 the Senate. With his retirement
from public life there will doubtless go one

politics the servant girl whose blum

Senator Mcpherson has concluded that the
condition of his health will not permit him to
be a candidate for reelection or to take an
active part in this years campaign. The
prospect OF electing Democratic legislature
in New Jessey is by no means so gloomy as it
seemed a while ago. The Democracy is get

A NEW WoMANs CRUSADE.

The women of New York are organizing for
effective work against Tammany; the women
OF Chicago have been aroused into activity
against the gambling dens of that city. Alto

crusade in these two great cities. The women

of all the ages. In truth there is not varia-
ton. and while we who are here have one be-
lief and that belief differs from others, It Is
but a dissenting that disappears before the
one true revelation Of Gods will.
Holmes said: i am satisfied that sacred
words have different meanings to different
men, am not one Of those POOR, nervous
creatures who would drop their faith for
single defect that might be found in it. You
would not think that would lay down nv
praver-book simply because Of a single OBJ
lection or many objections that can be urged
against it?'"
Dr. Shippen referred briefly to the life and
character OF the dead poet as exempIiflee in
other than his religious views, saying rnat he
was a true patriot during the late war and
counselsd the people to obey their eountrys
call.
"'Your country commands you,' said
Holmes in his noted Fourth of July oration in
Boston in 1868, to support her through evil
as we'll as good report, until she emerges from
this great war Of Western civilization; until
the flag floats again over Fort Sumter, and
this country is reunited"
One of the two hymns to which DR.. Ship
pen referred as having been composed by
Holmes was sung at the beginning OF the
service and the other at the close.

preceded by one day only the unveiline
Of the monument TO Confederate dead
erected by the ladies of the state. and
most of the veterans in attendance re-
manned to witness the ceremonies Of the
unwilling. Fully 90 1000 delegates to the
convention and visitors present specially
because of the unwilling were there, and
this large number of spectators added
greatly to the impressiveness OF the oc-
casion.
The next years convention was heidi
New Orleans on the day but one next
following that set aside for the decora-
ton of the graves of soldiers with dow
ers, and many visiting veterans who ar
rived early in the Crescent City joined in
the beautiful ceremonies as observed by
Its citizens. The attendance at the re-
union was larger and more enthusiastic
even than at the preceding ones. There
had been much sincere and successful
work Of organization performed during
the year, and the membership had in
creased very materially. The question Of
the standing in the organization of naval
veterans came up, and it was formally
decided that those who fought for the
Confederate cause on the water were en-
titled to all the consideration and priv
ileges accorded to those who fought on
the land.
As one Of those whose labors had very
much to do with the formation of the U.
G. ". and as commander In chief of the
association, General Joseph Brown Cor
don, now sitting in the United States
senate from Georgia, is very popular
with the veterans, who never forget that
during the long struggle he rose from
the comparatively humble post OF in-
fantry captain to be lieutenant general
TO Robert E. Lee. They remember, too,
that on his person he bears evidences Of
his valor in battle in the shape of eight
scars, each the result OF a wound.
General Gordon deserves the enthusiast
tic regard in which he is held. Two or
three sentences from his opening address
at New Orleans will not be amiss just
here. They show the spirit in which this
man of go looks at the present situation:
sWhat mean these honors TO the shat
tered fragments Of those mighty legions
which once in the white smoke of the
battle followed the plumes of Lee, of the
Johnstons, Of Hood, OF Forrest and of
jackson There al be nothing Of self in

stration. These gray haired soldiers OF
the sixties have brought to your midst

pensers of political patronage to the sub
servient or ambitious.
