In giving his reasons to the Chicago
Herald for remaining away from church,
one writer says that he left the Methodist
church year ago because his pastor was
q sensationalist who was never so happy
as when he was attacking the Catholic
Church. Another, who was Presby-
terian, says he stopped going to church
for the same reason, and then adds: II
those pretensious preachers Of righteous
nees,'' instead Of reviling the Church Of
Rome and her functionaries, would en-
courage obedience to the mandate of the
Apostle Paul, "Live peaceably with all
men," even with those Of q different re-
ligious persuasion, how much more edi-
tying it would be and how much more
commensurate with christian charity?

In reply to the methodist Protestant
which says that Catholic citizens are
made up of ignorant foreigners who do
not read papers. the Catholic Times in:
forms it that there are 2l5 Catholic peri
odicals published in the United States,
OF which 1856 are issued weekly, Is
monthly and others bi-weekly, tri-weekly,
fortnlghtly and quarterly. They are pub
lished in English, German, French, Pol:
ish, Bohemian, italian, Portuguese,
Spanish, Hollandish, Slavonian, and Eng
lish and German. The Times says that
if the editor of it's Methodist contempo-
rary could read half the languages repre-
sented in American Catholic journalism
he would consider himself very learned
man, but possibly he thinks all who do
not know English are ignorant people.

an expressive name it is because OF it's
anti christian principles. In a Protest.
ant ministerial symposium recently pub
lished in the New York Morning Journal,
every minister except Madison O Peters,
whom Pension Commissioner Lochreh
called "blatant bigot," emphasized their
condemnation of it's anti Catholic oath.
Talmage and Parkhurst particularly con-
demned it's abominable principles, the
latter saying that nothing but mischief
could come of any such illiberal, archaic
ideas as it promulgated. The only Pro-
testant ministers who now endorse the A.
p. A. are the men of small mental calibre,
who like all light bodies come to the sur
face during an egitation. OF such are

models Of proprlety. Now and then,
some OF the Irish members pay their re-
