The Rev. DR.. Case Reviews the
Famous RoSS-Yorke Con-
trOV0rSy.

TOVSTSys
Preliminary to his sermon Rev. DR.. Case
of the Howard-street NJ. E. Church last
evening devoted few minutes to the
Ross orke controversy.
"I told you So, he said. at is mean to
say it, but l told you so." Continuing DR..
Case said:
l said in the temple that Mr.. Ross would
find the priests to be like the agents descrip-
ton of the tile-laying machine:
Wiggle in and wiggle out,
Leaving the people still in doubt
Whether the thing that laid the track
Is going through or coming back.
l said YOU may label those priests with
language OF signboard or cabinet-shop,
"All kinds OF twisting and turning here"
We have had many illustrations OF the
wiggling, and as to the twisting and turning
they have done little else during the whole
controversy.
Mr.. Ross has done splendid work We are
proud OF his achievement. He has made out
MS case so perfectly that no tricks of priests or
Bishops can weaken its force. Mr.. Yorke
flunked out completely. He has made one
failure after another until it would seem he
would want to hide mis- face for shame and
confusion, He has tried to make out that
Peter was a. some time in Rome, and has
failed completely. He has tried to make out
that Peter was Pope. and has failed. He has
tried TO defend the horrible practice of auricu-
lar confession, and has failed. He has tried TO
destroy the force OF my quotations from Hecker
and failed He has tried TO bolster up the
wicked dogma of the lnfallibiltty of the Pope,
and has failed. He has tried TO answer my
quotation from Jesuit Gury, and has failec.l

Jesuits" by Curry, on object and subject OF the

ouestion-Are ecclesiastics obliged to obey the
ivIi law?
Answer-No: not the laws in force which are
contrary to their profession or TO their sacred
Ferdinand de Castro Palao said no less clearly:
IAN ecciesiastic, as such being exempted from
the lay jurisdiction, it follows certainly that ne
cannot be condemned by a lay Judge"
Again on page 70:
Spiritual power is Independent of TEN poral
things; bat it lets them operate before they were
not necessary 10 the spiritual end in view. For If
there is at times resemblance the spiritual
power can and ought TO repress the temporal one,
by all means and expedieuts which ii Judges 10 be
necessary. 1t has the right TO transform king
doms. 10 take them from one and give them 10
another a sovereign spiritual prince, if this is
necessary to The salvation OF souls.
II is not permitted to Christians TO tolerate an
intide or heretcal king il that king tries to lead
his subjects into heresy infideity: but it is TO
the sovereign pontiff who has the and the
charge of religion that belongs the right to Judge
il the king leads or not into heresy 1t is the
sovereign pontiT who should Judge ii the king
must be deposed or not.
From page Jog:
Permission to read print or publish books con-
trary 10 the Christian faith and manner must
never be given.
Question-Must such books, If bo orrowed, be
gwen back to their owners?
Answer-No; unless some great inconvenience
be feared y There is a grave incon-
venience in quarrels. blasphemies, hate and OF aer
similar things which to be feared from the
owner. \ slight contrarety or the fear of losing
his friendship is most OF the time sufficient
reason.
Page 1OS, on Relation with Heretics
Leocade, nun, a hospital nurse, where Catholic
and hereto patients received, is requested by
Qpirinus, very sick Protestant, TO send for min
lister of his sect in order to receive from him the
consultations of religion. Leocadie does not know
If she must obey.
Question-May Leocadie send for Protestant
minister?
Answer-No; It is evident that she cannot; that
would be communicating with heretics in a relig-
ious case and cooperation also
Page 1877, Treatise on Justice and Right:
Question-May we take some Of the property OF
another only to help ones SELF but also others
Answer-Yes, according to the common opinion
because, in way, one substitutes himself for the
INDECENT and shows by the act that one loves his
neighbor himself.
whatever may be the cause of it, can we steal an
object of great value or large sum, IL we are in
need of ii?
A.-There two opinions; the first one an
swers no: the second one, more probable and more
common, answers yes provided the rich one is not
brought by that theft TO equal needful situation
and the poor one takes only what he needs.
Rev. Mr.. Case further reviewed the re-
suits of the controversy and then turned
to bis sermon to young men, entitled
