nounced his subject as "Hocus Pocus";
that it had closer relation to Romanlsm
than some people suppose. And this IS
the account he gave of its origin:
In performing the Roman mass the priests
say, Hoe est corpus, and they teach that the
bread thereupon instantly and actually be-
comes the living body of Christ, and they offer
it divine worship and alteration and even
carry it about in procession to receive divine
.tChrist the Lord" But our forefathers not
having any belief in this coniurauon called
it "hocus pocus," which in short becomes
''hocus" or mildly "hoax." And this hoax"
is really the foundation of all "Romanism."
and by its imitation "Ritualism'' and the
gains obtained by masses for the dead" are
the great source of all the wealth and lnfiu-
ence OF Romish priesthood, for "what will not
a man give to save his own soul, or that OF
loved departed relative ii a man can once be
made to believe this "hoax"? For 1t must be
borne in mind that the Romish priests claim
to be the only ones that can accomplish this
conjuration. The priests well know that by
this craft they have their wealth" and
being set at naught' they are, of course, "full
of wrath" and create continuous uproar and
disturbance like the worshipers of the great
goddess Diana Of the Ephesians
Referring to recent illusions made to his
cousin, missionary in Brazil, he said:
He is g. scholarly, educated gentleman, and
besides that he is not a consummate fool. That
II "
go on the street to stop Catholic procession is
absurd! His offense was that he said in
his paper that the worship of the Virgin Mary
is idolatry. i,
The people of Brazil are becoming tired OF
priestly rule and are clamoring for their civil
rights. l am informed that the Romanists
hire the natives-Indians or whatever they are
called-to break up Protestant meetings in
Brazil. Do we want that kind of civilization
up here?
Then, going to another subject, he re-
marked:
In Rome there are thirtv-two Cardinals,
thirty-fve Bishops. over 1000 priests and over
1000 nuns. In that city there are 100, 900
people who can neither read nor write. And
vet they can come to this country and votel
Shall these people come here and tell us how
to run our Government?
We are not A P. AIS here tonight, but we
are intensely anti Romanists. 1 cannot see
how the priesthood can believe these things
they profess.
The Romish church threatens our good Gov
eminent to-day. 1t is trying to break up our
public schools and have the children grow up
in the ignorance and mystery which en-
shr oud that religion. These errors of bias
phemy and these plans are working against
the perpetuity of this country.
! mean to continue this subject. / shall
have something to say about it nearly every
Sunday.

Many Young Boys Arrested.

For months past the small boy element has
been frequenting the streets i'll front of the
cheap places of amusement. Every night their
numbers seemed to increase until it was with
difficulty that the ordinary pedestrian could
pass along the sidewalks. The youngsters did
not seem 10 have anything particular to do or
anything in particular to interest them. The
police decided to put stop to this Juvenile
nuisance. as the little rascals became SO bold
as to make themselves offensive to the general
public. Last evening Captain Whitman de-
tailed squad of policemen in citizens dress
to gather in the youngsters, and by 10 o'clock
there was crowd of dozen lads with tear
stained faces bundled into the City Prison and
charged with violating the 8 o'clock ordin-
ance. Later in the night number of worried
mothers called at the prison in search of their
offspring. All the mothers claimed to have
sent their sons out on some errand.

1t Is a Sin to Ride on One Purchased
From Newsboy.
Rev. w. A. Gardner, pastor of the West
Side Christian Church, spoke on 'Street-
car Transfers" as prelude to his discourse
last evening. He read an anonymous
letter in answer to stand he had taken in
the previous discourse against the practice
of newsboys of selling transfers at Market
and Powell streets. The letter declared
that passengers had perfect right to ride
on transfers purchased from newsboys
and that the practice of selling them was
not violation of the law, nor was it
criminal in any sense.
1.-The writer said Rev. Mr.. Gardner, els
either ignorant of some things or his
hatred of the corporation in question

Mr.. Gardner then declared that the per-
son who rode on transfer purchased
from the newsboys was commit ting sin
by robbing the corporation which had a
lawful existence and was entitled to pro-
