The Doctrine OF Peace and Coed WI
jersey City on Thursday night wa.
the scene of a -ed-letfer event. The Rev
John ). Tighe. a Roman Catholic rec
tor. lectured at the rooms of the Young
Mems Christian Association upon GOOD
testant men. old and young, went to hear
him.
The whole gist of the Reverend speak
ers discourse is summed up In the
words. Zone God. One Flag" The re-
ception given to himself and to his re-
marks was of the most cordial deserip-
ton. 1t was a love feast. It was a truly
American and a truly Christian event.
and it must warm the heart of every
one who loves God. who loves his fellow
man and who reveres the Constitution
of the United States, to read of ii.
There is room enough in this land for
Catholic and Protestant, fer Jew and
Gentle. for devotee and f~reethinker. II
is in the spirit of the Nation for all to
dwell together in mutual liberation, in
mutual respect. in fellowship and peace.
And the liberal gentleman who preached
the doctrine Of goodwill among citizens.
and the liberal men who came and APP
plauded him, are forwarding the mission
not only Of the United States. but of the
great Dispensation of which they are all
alike beneficiaries. with conscientious
differences as to detail.
To entertain an attitude of federation
and respect towards men of other reli-
gions than his own. it is not necessary
for the citizen to be lax and lukewarm.
Nor are We preaching any doctrine of
Indifference in urging liberality upon all.
We would lave the Catholic devcut and
the Protestant steadfast. But we would
ave each extend the mantle of charity
to the other.
The question of who is right and who
is wrong must finally be settled in an
other world, where infinite justice and
mercy will prevail. Nothing is gained by
intolerance or e~vil-disposition in this life
towards those whom we believe to be in
error. All faiths teach us the way we
should go in this life. The Golden Rule
Is the fundamental maxim CT every mod
ern creed. All that is needed to bring
bigotry and oppression to an end forever
IS the. practical application of the prin-
ciple.
Father Tighe and his hearers alike con-
tributed, last night, to that result. Every
good American should petition Providence
to bestow many blessings on the good
work.
WHILE Father Tighe was speaking
Tor universal good will. the German in
eendiary. Herman Ahlwardt, was preach

Of the case. but We think it is truly Anne
