PLANTATION of the Question.

Vicar-General Lyons Makes Fuller Ex-
plantation of the Question.
The papal decree forbidding members
of the Roman Catholic church to
belong to the Odd Fellows, knights of
Pythias, or the Sons of Temperance
was read in the various Roman Catholic
Churches Of this city Sunday.
1t is stated that tho societies named
are not under the ban of the church,
nor are the members accommodated,
but the decree practically shuts them
out from the sacTaments of the church
while they are members of these socie-
ties.
Vicar.g general Lyons explains tine
matter more exactly. He says that there
are but three societies under the ban of
the church-the Masons, the Carbonari,
which is an Italian society of the higher
order Of Masons, and the Fenians, under
whatever name they may operate. Any
society which has for its object the
abolishing of legitimate government or
Of the church is under the ban oi the
church without being especially named.
The Fenians were placed under the ban
because the society was attempting to
break up legitimate government; the
| Carbonari, because its avowcd object is
opposition to the government Of church
or State, and the Masons because, while
they may not be bad in this country,
| they arc u branch Of an order which In
some cases has been opposed to the
| church.

nE4UrIrUA ROW. COVER


A beautiful marble font cover has
been presented 10 the Old Swcdes
Church. William Montgomery, the
givcr of this splendid font cover, has
done much excellent carving and de-
signing at William Davidson's marble
works, but none has exceeded this pro-
ductiGn. The base consists of an octagon
slab of Pennsylvania blue stone, upon
which rests mound of white marble,
surmounted by cross of the same ma
terial. Running over the mound and
extending to the apex and arms of the
cross arc the lily Of the valley and the ivy,
beautifully carved, thus making it artistic
and yet very chastc in effect. The effect
is pleasing and Instructive The rock
signfying the Christ, Ills abidingncss;
the lily of the valley His sweetness and
love; the ivy the faith Of His disciples
clinging to the cross
The whole is fine representation OF
the life and character Of Christ; in that
He was the spiritual rock and that
rock was Christ, and lie was this sacri.
flee which hanged ON the cross.
On the base are carved the words
"Onc Lord, One Faith, One Baptism. -
Eph., ", 8, and also the words, Christ.
