WHY AM |
A CATHOLIC?
Rev. Father Ramm Gives
His Reasons for Chang
ing His Religion.
Mo&pono1iton Ternn1n Thronrod
Metropolitan Temple Thronged
With an Enthusiastic
Audience.
He Gould Not Affiliate With Any
Church Believing Everything
and Nothing.

Cathedral Council No. 50, Y NJ. l., gave
a very enjoyable entertainment last cver-
ing in Metropolitan Temple. Long before
the hour for the programme TO begin the
hall was thronged with people. and when
the entertainment began the ushers were
obliged to force away the people who
crowded the stairs and Railways.
The entertainment opened with an or
gan prelude by Professor Robert Harri-
son, and then William F. Humphrey.
president of Cathedral Council, made a
few introG uctory remarks, showing what
fourishing condition the order is in.
The feature of the evening was an ad.
dress by Rev. @. A. Ramm on why Am
Catholic ?"
Father Ramm, who is a very interest
ing speaker, introduced his subject by
giving short history of his early life,
only touching broadly on the influences
which combined to cause him to change
from the Episcopal TO the Catholic church.
The speaker told how in his early days
his religious education had been neglected
by his parents, who were Lutherans, un-
TIL when be was Is years of age, travel
ing Lutheran minister had baptiz I'd him.
He knew nothing of the meaning of the
sacrament of baptism, and the only re-
suit was that he was made the butt of tn e
Jokes OF the other boys on account OF ii.
Later on he was sent to school across the
bay, where attendance at some church
was compulsory. He drIfted around from
one church to another without finding
what lie was in search Ola creed with a
substantial backing.
Finally he drifted into an Episcopalian
church, not because he thought it better
than any of the others, but more because
he was intimate with the pastor and most
OF his friends went there. Although he
never Joined the church he took COM
munion there regularly.
Father Ramm then told how he had
searched earnestly to find by what au-
thority the various preachers taught,
since Their teaching was so contradictory
each one apparently believing and disbe :
heving what he saw At. He could not be-
lieve that his choosing doctrine would
make that doctrine true, and be wGs look-
ing for a revelation of Christ's religion.
His sea7ch was not only TO find the true
religion, but to find some com petent au-
thority to teach il TO him, as, If the truth
were in the Bible, he couldn't find it.
how. there was only one church which
ever claimed infailibie authority in these
teachings, and to that church he went.
| There. he said, he was taught not creeds,
bu, the trus religion as IL has been handed
down from the men whom Christ sent out
to preach MS teachings to ALI the world.
He closed his addr by telling how
proud he was TO be mem ber of church
which looks the whole world in the lace
and is her own greatest Witness verit-
able city set on a hill which cannot be
mid, as she is everyw here; too great 20 be

The verdict of the lower court awarding
damages 10 J. W. Donnelly in his snit
against The San Fran cisco Bridge Com
pany was reversed yesterday by the Su-
preme Court and the case remSnded Tor
a new trial.
The company had q contract with the
olympic Salt Water Company to con-
sirucL a pier on the beach near the Cliff
House, and Donnellv was EN- ployed as
workman. NJ. B. Stone was superintend-
ent of construction.
Another workman had block in posi-
tion TO let fail and inquir, d il ali we're
clear below. Several workm men, as well as
the superintendent, answered all right
and the block was allowed to drop. 1t
elruck Donnelly and severely injured
him.
The court decides that the act was the
result of negligence on the part of a
feilow-emp!oge, ani the company is, there
lore, not responsible for Donnellys in
iurles.
