Anglican Doctrine" said Dollinger,
lis collection of heterogeneous theo-
logical propositions tied together by the
act Of uniformity; propositions which in
logical mind cannot exist by the side
Of one another, and whose effect upon
the English churchman is that he finds
himself involved in contradictions and
disingenuousnesS and can escape the
painful consequences of it only by
sophistical reasoning"
Franklin once invited the free-think-
ing wits of Paris to hear him read a
beautiful story of ancient pastoral life
which he had come across. They We're
charmed with it, and vehemently
wanted it printed. 1T is already
printed" said Franklin at last, &c is
part of the Bible.'' Another similar
gathering at another time he enter
tanned with an ''ancient poem in
manuscript, eliciting their most raptur-
Gus praises of it, and most eager en-
Quiring as to it's authorship and the
manner of it's discovery. 1t was the
third chapter Of Habakkuk, the proph-
cts prayer ''for ignorances."
Milwaukee has several larger bust
ness interests than its beer. For 1902
these are the total values Of that and
some of it's other products: Metal
works, $79,77G,S37; wearing apparel,
$2S, 1886; leather, $24,235, 3O7; beer,
$40, 73O,20O. The numbers of persons
employed in these industries were,
respectively, 27,977, 1888, 1889 and
3,545. For every 500 in the several
lines of output labor received $22.90,
5000, $14.5O and $11, showing here
as everywhere that the drink business
pays for labor but an insignificant
portion of the wages which it absorbs.
\ writer in Blacllwood for August
1908. notes once again the usual sum-
mer gathering of the missionaries and
their families at an Eastern health re-
sort. ''They have a thoroughly good
time right through the summer
them? unless, perhaps, the perspiring
merchant down in his treaty port,
who rarely gets more than fortnight
holiday. Walking through the unstir-
red pool of heat that fills the Tokyo
streets in August, have often missed
familiar figures in the Christian quar-
tiers of the city: and their absence dur
ing the long dog days served only to-
accentuate the Worn black garments
of the Roman Catholic men and wom-
ell who moved slowly to and fro at
their endless work among the poor;
high or low thermometer is all the
same to them. Unmarried people
need no change"
OF 1Aglipay the Presbyterian Interior
says that ut Il secret council between
him and the leaders of the American
missions in Manila he invited the
preachers to Join his church. ''As his
own motto was anything to beat
Rome. he appears to have thought
the American ProteStants actuated by
no higher motives" In the Methodist
Western Christian Advocate the Rev.
J. l.. Mclaughlin says: THE schism is
purely insurrectionaly in that it is not
prompted by the least desire for spirit
rnl Improvement. There is a general
fear that it will go to pieces of it's own
magnitude and inherent Weaknesses"
Except on the principle anything to
beat Rome" why should Christians
have such a fear?
Blaisdell & Balls "Hero Stories
from American History" gives a whole
page and a large illustration to telf
how the Rev. Samuel Doak invoked
Gods blessing on the army, but gives
only two short sentences to Father
Gibault. who added an empire to the
United States without shedding a drop
of blood. So in the account of Oregon
in the June Pearsons' installment Of
its serial "Story of the States" Mr..
William Mcleod Raines makes due
mention of the Protestant missionaries
Jason Lee and Marcus Whitman, but
none at all of Bishops Blanchet and
Demers and Father De Smet. whose
work in Oregon was so extensive and
important and enduring,
