IN RELIGIONS REALM.
EXPRESSIONS FROM VARIOUS
RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS.
The Religious Thought Of the Day
as Expressed in the Sec.
tartan Press.

Our own conclusion" says the
Church Standard" P. Ed of Philadel-
phia, lis this, that the function of the
church in respect of marriage, in any
and all of its aspects is not to make
laws of their own. but to require OF
her members that they shall obey the
revealed law of God. Every law of
marriage which is clearly revealed in
Gods law of Holy Scripture, or in Gods
law of nature, or in Gods law as it
has been manifested in the universal
conscience of the Catholic Church. must
be obeyed because it is Gods law. No
merely local or provincial legislation of
any foreign church in any age can for
one moment be accepted as of authority
to control the conduct or oblige the
conscience of members of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church in the United
States of America. The merely personal
opinions of fathers and doctors of an
cient, medieval or modern times, can
be regarded as of obligation only on
the conscience of the persons by whom
they are entertained; to attempt TO give
them canonical authority in the Prot
estant Episcopal Church would be sheer
tyranny, because, as Blackstone puts it,
-
the will or conduct of one man to the
personal will of another"
ION the whole says the Living
Church P. Ed OF Chicago 1--WE can
probably arrive at nothing better than
the title to which there has been more
general approximation in popular
speech and sober discussion than any
~
Church. AS was observed in the
Church Electic some months ago, the
papal ultimatum against the Anglican
communion strengthens very materially
the argument for a return to a proper
nomenclature. Let US cease TO offer
even an apparent justification for the
Roman charge that we are mere Prot
estant sect, by refusing any longer TO
be called or known, even in law, as
Protestant We constantly assert in
the creed our loyalty TO the Catholic
Church. Let us then call ourselves
what We claim to be- Catholic. How
else can we better offset the arrogant
claim that Rome alone is Catholic? And
how can the admission that that Cath
olic Church is in spiritual servitude TO
the see of Rome, that she is not simply
'CalnOlc, DuC dlSo, pe IiiOi :

What we wish to point out, says
the New York independent" lis that
the day of trials for heresy is about
past. 1t is recognized as an antiquated,
ineffective and harmful way of dealing
with heresy. The Presbyterian churches
Of Scotland tried it ten or fifteen years
ago in the case of Professor Robertson
Smith and others, and its results. at
this distance of time must appear as
anything but satisfactory. 1t was found
to be a long, tedious, harassing pro-
cedure that kept the church agitated,
that brought forward apologists for the
heresy, that led to its acceptance by
others, and that kept the church en-
broiled for years, with no one result
that could be pointed to as vindication
or helpful. 1t was tried by the Presby-
terian Church in this country in the
case of Professor Briggs and Of Pro-
fessor Smyth; and Presbyterians are so

HERE'S THE TRUTH.

The Republican papers are scoring the
administration for its reputation of the
platform pledging Cuban. independence.
The Chicago Tribune says:
What has become of that plank which
was adopted more than year and a
half ago? independence has not been
given to the island. On the contrary,
the efforts of the patriotic Cubans To
free themselves have been hampered by
the United States government. Con-
slant efforts have been made to prevent
their obtaining needed supplies.
The lives of American citizens in Gu
ba have not been as well protected as
they were before the St. Louis cOnven-
ton met. Not long ago nearly 800 OF
them were treacherOusly murdered al
night in the port of Havana. A Repub-
lican national convention meeting today
would adopt a much more vigorous reso-
luton than the one Of 1896.
But why has that resolution been ig-
nOred! 1t was endorsed by the people
at the polls. Had an active effort been
made to carry it out months ago the
Maine would have been afiOat today and
her seamen would have been alive"
Exactly. If McKinley's administra-
ton when it came into power had recog-
nized the independence of Cuba, VIC
would have escaped the dangers that now
beset u.s.: the Maine would be riding the
seas with its brave officers and sailors
and starvation and brutality in Cuba
would have been at an end. Instead
of doing so the trusts and syndicates
were permitted to write a tariff law fol
their enrichment, and Secretary Gage
given rein 'to more firmly establish the
gold standard"
