GLANDS orr TO the Pope.

A, the regular weekly meeting Of the
New York Conference OF Baptist Min
isters held at Isl Fifth avenue yts.er-
dav 5. Hobart, d. D., Of Yonkers, In
roduced a resolution condemning any
interposition on the part OF Pc2e Leo
XIII. in the crisis between the United
states and spain. The resolution read IS
follows:
"In view Of the published suggestion
from Madrid that the Pope meulase &c
tween spain and the United States In the
Snanish and Cuban difficulty. We, the
members of the New York Baptist Minis
ters' Conference. desire TO utter an en-
nhatio nrotest against any present or fu-
ture recognition Of the Pope by our Gov
eminent. We regard such recognition as
IN direct violation Of the principle OF
senaration between the Church and the
state which has been thoughtfully adopt
ed nv us. IL would be a precedent hkely
To be used in future TO our discomfort
II not to the disturbance OF our civic al
fairs.
.sWhile appreciating the propriety OF
his counseIling the Church which recog-
nizes him as its religious instructor and
head. we do not regard him as having
any office with which our Government
should hold official relation"
short debate ensued. A number or
ministers smoke in favor Of the resolution
ana IL was passed unanimously. II was
further resolved that a copy OF the
resolution be sent to President Mckinley,
and also that II be printed in every Bap-
tlst paper in the country. 1t was said
by a minister who was present at the
meeting that the resolution was simply
an antlcipatory measure. but az such
would show that the Baptists were unal-
terably opposed to the recognition by Tie
country OF the right OF a religious posen-
tate 10 act as mediator In any trouble
between this country and another.
