At the close tie vast congregation arose
On nasse 10 attest approval OF q series OF
resolutions read by Dr. Easton, which de-
nounoed Mgr. satolli's proposal TO send

manded his expulsion from the country,
we've in line with the Eentime cents advanced
IN the sern on. and upon which the speaker
said he desired to take a rising vote
The unanimity of the affirmative ex-
preston rendered it unnecessary 10 take
the negative. The resolutions were by the
same vote ordered 10 be copied and for

The only decoration additional 10 that
displayed at the morning Easter service
consisted OF a large An eTicaD flag wound

The doctor took as text the 35th verse
Of tine 18th chapter OF Revelations: MY
Kingdom is not OF this world" Briefly re-
counting gthesceaesenected whenthe Saviour
was on trial before PLATE, depicting the
anger OF the turbulent mob that demanded
the life OF the lowl Y NsZarene. DR.. Easton
said the response elected from Christ's lips,
while ~ perplexed Plate, was the enuncia-
tion OF a great principle, a spiritual mani
festo- that forshadowed the total separa-
KEPT CHURCH AND STATE SEPARATE.
Christ did not, he said, approve ofs the
consolidation Of church and civil aw, but
on the contrary fosteUed the sovereignty OF
the common people, that respects the rights
OF all by protecting all
Passing 10 the discussion OF his theme DR..
EastOn said Rome has declared her policy
as to this republic, and that the servants OF
the papacy are all pl edged TO subvert any
governmental policy that stands in the way
Of the complete supremacy OF the Pope.
Ia support Of this he noted the presence
OF SatOlH in this country, as the chief agent
for the propagation OF the idea, and quoted
at length from numerous Catholic publica-
tions. He read an extract from one~ OF
these, in which il was stated that the
Romish Church cannot form political
party in this country, the conditions being
vocates OF that faith ever become strong
enough, they propose to upset the Constitu-
tion.
They propose TO Romantic this repub-
Iic,'' exclaimed DR.. Easton. ''They teach
that the church has the right to control
education. direct the affairs OF State, and
dictate to kings and potentates. They
claim, also, that the Pope has immunity
from civil law, and ought MOTTO be amena ble
10 1t. Rome is attempting 10 set up
monarchy in the midst OF a democracy.
''Two-thiTds OF the army and navy are
papIsts,' be said, ''and in all the depart
ments of government papists, in a Iarge
measure, control appointments, and the
public service swarms with those who have
sworn eternal fidelity TO the Romish
Church
DR. Easton advised the revival and main
tenance OF the Monroedoctrine; just taxation
OF church property; enforcement OF proper
respect for ali cur civil Institutions; loyalty
to the public schools, and the adoption OF
an namendmenttot the eConstitutionprohibitin
Congressional appropriation in aid Of any
seetauan purpose whatever.
NONE But AMERICANS ON GUARD.
Put none but Americans on guard he
exclaimed, "and see that no papal flag
shall ever float over our institutions, nor
supplant the American banner
Toe resolutions adopted Characterize
as "audacious impudence'' the proposition
of the ''papal ablegate in this country" that
1.-THE supremacy Of the pope shall be recog-
niZed by nIsgOVernmentin sending an envoy
TO The Vatican; that such supremacy has
proved an unmitigated curse in past ages"
and shall never be recognized here; That
Satolh proposition is an insult to all lovers
OF American government, and nauseatng,
ana that IL isthe duty ofalllOyal Americans
10 demand the expulsion of Satoni from our
shores, as a plotter OF treason, and to demand
OF our la w-Inakers such legislation as viii
move hin and all the host of Jesuitical satel-
htesthat reVolVe aroundhim.
Dr. East0n was repeatedly applauded
during the delivery OF his discourse, the
vigorous band-clapping sometimes drown
ing bis voice in the midst OF a sentence.
