Crash, Exaggerated, Untrue,

The regular meeting of the Nassau
PTesbytery byterian) last week at
Jamaica. N. Y. was rendered notable
by a speech of the Rev Samuel T. Car
ter. D. D., earnestly renouncing his
faith in the Westminster Confession.
which has been The creed of the Pres
byterian faith since the days of Cal
vim. Brother Carter is reported to have
said. among other things:
There is no such god as the God of
the Confession. There is no such world
as the world of the Confession There
is no such eternity as the eternity of the
Confession. 1t is all rash. exa ggerated
and bitterly untrue
There is something deeply pathetic
In the sad. patient look of the common
people-the plain people-who fear that
these dreadful things may be true be-
cause their leaders have never said that
they were false. If no one else is ready
to say il. l say il. The hard. cold. Sc
we're God OF the Confession. with the
love left cut, IS -iot cur God
There is no such God as the God of
the Westminster Confession This
world. so full If flowers and sunshine
and the laughter f children. is not a
cursed. lost world; and the endless
torment of the Confession is not Gods
nor Christ's nor the Bibles idea of
future punishment.
we have sent cut an evangelistic
committee to stir the church. Let them
begin now by getting the right God.
If this God is 1he God of the Westmin-
ster Confession they viii never convince

Not less notable than Dr. Carriers
speech is the fact that his brethren.
without q dissenting voice voted to re-
tain him in the Nassau presbytery, not
that every minister and
elder Of the Presbyterian denomina-
ton must still accept the terrible West

A PUBLIC SCHOOL VIEW.
Inspector Clancy's Report on a Visit

school, says James Clancy. public

He was highly pleased with what he
saw on his first visit Promptly at .

no time being lost in an assembly room,
as the prayers are said in the class

do these parohial schools turn out
better educated children than those

the parochial schools who presented
themselves for the examination for en-

history and geography-the parochial
schools seem to me to excel. They ex-.
eel in drawing. The reason for the
superiority of the parochial schools in
these respects is simple. At the end
of a school term (one-half year,, no
child is promoted to a higher grade
unless the child has a mastery of
the subjects taught in the grade in
which he or she has been studying for
that term.
las rule the parochial school pu-
pills are better spoilers and have
clearer idea of the meaning of words

The parochial school children are

ply of the world, so necessary in these
days when the newspap ers give such

nations. They are we'll grounded in
history of their own country, with

John Baptist Vianny, as he was

however, were so highly spoken of that

him, and sent him as assistant to the

Early ireland and Mary.

nation it contains is most valuable.
Here we can but summariIy Indicate
the contents. First, he showed how the
piety and devotion of the Celtic race
towards the Mother of God found the
fullest expression IN a beautiful litany
in the Irish language, which for poetic
imagery and vividness of expression,
was. at its date, unique, perhaps in
western Christendom. The .litany
which is preserved in the "Leabhar
Breac,' a precious repository of an
Gent Catholic records, clearly sets
forth Mary's Immaculate Conception.
Next the cardinal brought forward the
testimony of the "Leabhar Imuin."
dating back to the ninth or tenth CEN
tury, and the "Liber Hymnorum.'
which contains d Latin poem in hon
or of the Blessed Virgin composed by
st. Cochuimne about the year 700: the

Rosslyn and Bobbio Missals: the Felire
or Bestology of St. Engus and other
Celtic mythologies; the prayers and lit
snies of the early Irish church preserv-
ed in continental and other libraries;
incidents in the lives of the Irish saints
and the Illuminated picture of Our
Lady presented in early Irish art The
cardinal clearly proved that the clergy
and people of Ireland were as devout
to the Blessed Virgin in the golden
ages of the country's renown as they
are today.-London Catholic Times.
