Mr. eourIay,s LECTURE.

Mr.. Hugh Gourlay proposes to lecture
at the Baptist church on the 18th inst,
on the subject of ''Civil and Religious
Liberty vs.. A. P. A. ism from the stand
point of Protestant American Citizen"
Speaking to CHRONICLE reporter he
said that his object in delivering the
lecture was not TO foment discord among
the different religious beliefs, but to
quench the spirit of intolerance which
he believes is fast coming to the surface.
He Gays if he thought his lecture would
do aught to fan the fame of religious
discord he would keep quiet forever.
He claims therefore his mission is peace
full. and that he desires only to pour oil
upon the troubled waters. Asked if he
would reply to Rev. E. B. Sutton's re-
cent lecture, which he attended, he said
he would not attack it as a whole, but
that he would show many things claimed
by that speaker to be fallacies. He said
his lecture was intended to be an appeal
to American fairness and justice, and
that he would so interpret history as to
show that our Catholic citizens have al
ways been loyal to the country and it's
institutions, and.that the pope has never
interfered in American affairs.

congress will not be likely to do any

the improvements are situated are vested
