DR.. YORK'S LECTURE.
The Noted Lfberalist Argues for Entire
Secular Freedom Of Thought and
Belief.

DR.. J. L. York spoke before large audi
ence at Scottish Hall last evening, his sub
ject being Fair Play" He spoke of the
great religious conspiracy" and against
the proposed amendment to the Federal
constitution. He also contrasted "Chris-
tian A P. A.-ism" with Liberal A. P. A.
ism" He spoke substantially as follows:
We have fallen on peculiar times and are in
the midst of great religious conflict and con-
spiracy. And not only is Romanism the enemy
of free thought, free speech, free schools and
parental freedom, but there is also wide
Protestant religious conspiracy, increasing
each year in volume, against the common lib
critics of the people guaranteed by the consti-
tuition of our country in the attempts to enact
and enforce Sunday laws and other religious
legislation under the plea that this is a Chris
sade to make this Christian country may be
seen in the attitude OF the National reform
Association and at least dozen other Protest
ant societies organized for the special purpose
of amending the constitution OF the United
States in the following terms:
eve, the people of the United States, humbly
ack cknowledgirR Almighty God as the source of
all authority in civil government, the Lord
Jesus Christ as the ruler among the nations,
the Bible his revealed viii as the supreme law
of the land in order to constitute Christian
government" and in the interest of justice and
fair play toward the Catholic faith, as well as
in the interest of truth, we propose to show
TINT the Protestant Christian church, some OF
whose members and preachers have been so
bitter and extreme III their attack on the
mother church, heed to divide their attention
and have one eye on the Protestant church in
their idiotic movement and attem pt.at su ieide.
This proposed Christian amendment TO our
constitution, as published in the Christian
Statesman, would eliminate all democracy
from our Government and disfranchise all un-
believers and infidels in this country. The
spirit OF this holy reform association you may
catch from their published statement, as fol-

LECTURE ON ROMANIsM.
Major Ryan's Subject, "Romanism
and otestantism-Their Fruits
Compared."


The attendance in the evening had fallen
off somewhat. After Introductory remarks
by C. T. Brewer. secretary Of the State A.
P. A., Major Ryan was introduced and
was received with literally a storm OF ap-
plause.
The major began by speaking of the tree
of American liberty planted in MasSachu-
sets in 1920 He said:
I see here in one branch the red hand of
on the. central branch of the tree ] see the
Papel flag. These three flags are enough to
poison liberty unto death. In the heart OF the
tree in Washington, the capital OF the country,
] see the Papal Ablegate. The city,,the county,
the State an9 the National governments are
reeking with the blood of rum, Romanism and
rottenness.
After the applause which greeted this
remark had subsided Secretary Brewer
came to the front and said
Major Ryan is evidently not we'll acquainted
here, or he would have known that the people
you refer to beat them all for patriotism.
building. When their churches are being
dedicated the stars and stripes float high In
the air. When one of the priests has occasion
TO go to Rome he cannot eat or sleep or rest
until he gets back, because he cannot live
without the stars and stripes.
After some musical numbers Major Ryan
then proceeded with his lecture on the
subject, "Romanism and Professionalism !;
Their Fruits Compared" 1t bore upon
the educational systems of the Catholic
Church as contrasted with those of
Protestant countries. The speaker was
frequently interrupted with applause.
