Growth of Christian Spirit
BY THE REV. JAMES cATHcART.

would not buy of Protestant. Protestant disdained the dollar of the Catholic. Con- ditions so horrihc would be incredible were they not all minutely and incontro- vertibly set down in records that can never fade or be obliterated. Idle and proftless would it be to say or to inquire who was or was not to blame? Equal re- sponsibility devolves probably on both sides. At all events 1t Is a problem that cannot be settled by controversy, and so 1t would better be left to sleep the sleep that in the interest of peace, goodwill and Christianity itself with its cloak of many hues, should never have an awaken ing.
 The analysis of 1t all comes logically to this: While Christianity has been the forerunner of the higher civilization, the higher civilization, in its turn, has been the instrumentalty which in the order of events and the evolution of the ages, has brought about the full blossom and richest fruitage of the most blessed Christianity the world has ever known. Modern prog ress, hard In it's competitions and con- flicts, is nevertheless a softening refining influence. In it's conquering march every obstacle disappears, as the snows of win ter give place to the softening rains of spring and the sunshine of summer. Be- fore it are fast vanishing national ha- eACNS WiNh cll tHc tram OL CNllS they gendered. The world is becoming smaller and smaller, but, at the same time, the mentality of mankind human nature, is stretching into even widening circles In mastering nature men are mastering themselves, the passions born mostly of ignorance, that made them fly at one an- others threats and deify the greatest murderer of men as the greatest hero.
 The old order has nearly passed away, and these passing tributes to a venerable old man are the best evidence which could be given that the twentieth century is destined to clear the rubbish from its track and swing clear of all that pre- ceded 1t in the working out of every prob- lem which confronts it. Every man and every system must stand on his own or It's own merits. Leo stood there, and the crown of well-doing came to him as it will come to every man who performs the duty devolved upon him, be he pope or
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-07-26

For the first time in more than four hundred years fervent prayers have been heard in many churches of one form or another of Protestant religious belief In behalf of a dying pope. It is certainly most remarkable spectacle one impossible of occurrence even a. short half century ago. What Is the meaning. the signif- canoe of 1t? Not in the slightest degree has the attitude for the Roman Catholic church been changed towards the churches that dissent from It's doctrines and teachings. Its theology is the same now as when the ships of Columbus start ed out to discover the new world. All that 1t believed, taught and practiced when Martin Luther led the mighty revolution against its tenets and its rule, 1t holds fast too in the twentieth century; has in fact added to it's creed within our own time new dogmas that have amazed the mill lions and millions of Christians in many lands who conscientiously believe that 1t is an error.
 Professionalism, on the other hand has not surrendered the position 1t assumed at the beginning. What 1t protested against in the Roman church when the SeCeSSlOA lOOfA pldCCI lb plObOStS et6pAAoN today in all material points. It has not gone Romeward in the least particular so far as its beliefs are concerned And notwithstanding all that is often said and written to the contrary Professionalism be- trays no symptoms of decline. Possibly there is less of the old fire and enthusi- asm, less of the spirit of the early martyrs to the faith, but underneath the apparent indifference is a substratum of rock-rlbbed innexibility and determination that needs only the occasion to call 1t forth. If as in the old days, the fires of precaution should be relighted. a stubborn and magni-
 icent resistance would be forthcoming equal to any battles of the olden time that history has in its consecrated keep ing. Were it necessary the twentieth century would produce as many martyrs and sufferers as did the unhappy eras when Louis and Mary and Philip held the seeptre.
 Dogmatically, therefore, the two great divisions of the Christian church are un- changed, but what may be called their so- cial relationship has undergone really wonderful, but natural transformation. In the dark ages, illumined only by the torch around the victims at the stake. great gulf separated the men and women of the same country, of the same city and even village who worshipped the same AL mighty Power at different shrines. who called themselves followers of Him who
 was born in Bethlehem and died on Cal vary as the common Savior of them all. They could not, or would not, transact between one another the most ordinary affairs of life Trade ran in the narrow groove of sectarian strife. Every one was clothed in the uniform of religious animos- | ty. and took 1t with him into the most l trivial concerns of business. Catholic

Concerning Original Sin,

From the London Daily Chronicle.
 A wealthy Australian Scotsman, named Allan, died some years ago, and be- queathed considerable sum of money to provide perpetual prizes to the Pres byterian children of the commonwealth for proficiency in scriptural knowledge The latest report of the Allan bequest committee, presented to the Presbyterian general assembly in Melbourne. contains some entertaining reading. What Is the difference between original sin and actual sin?" elicited these answers among oth- CTS: Original sin is Adam eating for bidden fruit; actual sin is Cain killing Abel" 'One is good sin; the other is bad sin." Original sin is sin without murder; but actual sin is sin, meaning swearing" Original sin is the thing we ought to do; actual sin Is the things we ought not to do.' Actual sin means a want of obedience; but original sin is a work of Providence"

peasant. Protestantism loses none of It's strength, its vitality, in sending up its prayers for the pontiff, who represented all that 1t contends against. On the con- trary it shows in so doing it's inherent strength. It is not an act of submission on it's part It is a simple acknowledge ment that, as member of the Christian body, it recognized and let its heart go out to great heroic character whose life was blameless, and who did the work of the Great Master as 1t came to him to do.
