SAYS THAT CATHOLIC
MEANS ALL-EMBRACING
RRoApEsrWoRD OBJECTIONABLE
TO SOME
Rev. William Horace Day at First Con-
eregationaI Church breaches Elo-
quent Sermon-Touches on Ancient
Question of Peters Primacy

AT the First Congregational church
the pastor, Rev. VIM. Horace Day,
preached on 1.-The Holy Catholic
Church" The theme was chosen be.
cause of the meeting of the conference
on church federation in New York. He
chose for the text the one clause iii
Matt. 16; Is. in which Jesus said. 81
will build my church" He said in
part
'I have purposely isolated this text
from it's context that we might forget
the din of ages of controversy over
the question of Peters primacy and
hear the promise of Christ that he
would huild his church on the earth
This word church is used in two
chief senses in the New Testament, to
mean a local group Of disciples meet
ing together for worship and work
The other sense, the one in which our
Lord uses 1t in the text to signify the
universal church. is the whole body of
Christ as 1t Is called In Paul's epistles
To express the thought in the text
shall use a term that has objectional
associations to some. Catholic seems
to stand for the tyrannies and bigotries
Of the past. I shall use it because there
Is no word in our language so rich in
meaning, so full of the breadth which
characterized the teachings of the
Master. / shall use 1t because for near
two thousand years Christians of every
name and sign have been confessing
their faith, saying I believe in the
holy Catholic church. This text leads
to the theme of the morning. The Holy
Catholic Church.
What is the holy Catholic church?
"In the first lines of / Corinthians
Paul suggests its scope as he turns
from his address to the saints at
Corinth to include all that call upon
the name of the Lord Jesus in every
place. 1t is the whole company OF re-
generate persons.
THE Roman church claims exclusive
right to be called the Apostolic Catho-
lie church and founds its claim upon
Jesus words to Peter which form
part of this text, Thou art Peter and
on this rock I will build my church.
Peter had just made confession of
Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the
Living God, and we have but to ex-
anime the Greek text to see in what
sense the early disciples understood
those words. Thou art Petros-mascu-
line-meaning piece of rock. on this

BEGINS SEASON OF ADVENT
Rev. r. X. Mecabe Explains Why
Weeks for Prayer Are
Set Apart

"The true church does not look upon
Jesus Christ as upon great leaoer, a
master mind raised up for the purpose
of teaching mankind. but she claims
more for him, and proves her claim.
She teaches that Jesus Christ Is the
second Person of the Blessed Trinity,
true God and true man; God from all
eternity, equal to the Father In all
things, and man from the time or MS
conception by the Immaculate virgin,
through the miraculous power of the
Holy Spirit" said Rev. f. x. McCape,
G.. NJ, last evening in his sermon at
the Church of st. Vincent de Paul, at
the opening of the season of Advent
Father McCabe said in part
To-day we are beginning the holy
season Of Advent, time of preparation
for the coming of Jesus, which Is COM
memorated on the joyful feast OF
Christmas The children of the church
today unite with her in going back to
the time previous to the coming OF our
Divine Savior, when the Precursor was
fulfilling his mission preparing the way
for the coming of Christ.
"The coming of Christ and the prep
aration that we make for the event
would mean nothing to us were 1t not
for the fact that the true church in
sists on the divine personality of Jesus
Christ. She believes and teaches that
he is the one Tor Wnom Ine pdtridlC us
sighed; whom the prophets foretold
and for whom the whole world waited
in expectation. He is the eternal word
made flesh and dwelling among us, as
we are told by st. John the beloved
disciple.
at is that we may be better pre-
pared for the commemoration of this
great event that the church calls upon
her children to set aside the few weeks
for prayer and good works, that enter
ing into ourselves, we may adorn our
souls with those virtues which will
render them pleasing to our Savior
when he comes as the Child Of Bethle-
hem on Christmas day, that entering in
he NAV dwell with us forever"

Petra-feminine-meaning great rock
l will build my church. Nor is the
sacrament of baptism the essential con-
dition of membership in the holy Cath
olic church. In the letter to the Ephe-
slams Paul describes the church as OF
one Lord, one faith and one baptism,
as though a certain baptism were es-
sential to unity as loyalty to Christ and
to the faith
IAN examination Of mis- writings
shows the spiritual nature of the bap-
tism to which he refers. For in one
spirit were we all baptized into one
body he writes. In his I Corinthians
letter he follows an address to the
local church with one to the church
Catholic, saying Unto all that call
upon the name of the Lord Jesus in
every place Catholicity depends not
upon the performance of an outward
| ceremony, important as he considers
these ceremonies, but in vital unity
with Christ The holy Catholic church
is the whole company of true disciples
wherever found.
"How to make the holy Catholic
church effective is the problem. In
every age of the church men have
tried to solve 1t. Three methods have
been tried: the imperial method, the
dogmatic method, and in due time, the
ethical method-unity in service.
"The imperial method was tried for
thousand years. In the person of
Hildebrand it seemed to succeed. In
the snow at Canossa bowed the EN-
peror Henry in token that the church
had finally become supreme. The SOL
of German artisan put his foot upon
the neck of the sovereign of the holy
Roman empire. 1t really marked the
beginning of the fall and decline of the
imperial church. 1t was but historic
justice that the son of another Ger
man peasant finally completed the
breaking of the yoke of Rome, ana
showing the world that with all the
great service the Roman church has
rendered the cause of Christ and
humanity, even she could not secure
unity and effectiveness by the imperial
method.
1.-THE dogmatic method. or the method
of the Reformation, did not succeed.
Mere length of creed has failed. The
theologians believed they could accom-
plish what the ecclesiastic had failed
to do They wrought great dogmas
expecting all Christians to at once
accept them. The creeds have served
only to divide Christendom instead of
uniting it for effective service. After
four hundred years we are earnestly
seeking another method. This we will
call the ethical method-unity in ser
vice. No matter how much we differ in
organization, dogma and liturgy can
we not be one under Christ If we try
to serve together? We cannot abandon
our Lord nor the core of essential faith,
but we can serve together whatever
other differences. The work on the for
eign field has paid If for no other rea-
son than because 1t has put us to
shame with our petty divisions and
competitions"

For this purpose the agent of the

fifteen Catholic orphanages receiving
children from New York city. He be-
comes acquainted with these children
as intimately as possible, learns from
those who have cared for them what
their characteristics are, their history
and heredity, II possible, and makes up
his mind which child will fit best In
each approved home. When selec-
tion has been made, the committee OF
directors gets together and make
final decision as to the placing of each
particular child. Their determinat ton
settles 1t. The child goes to the desig-
mated place and not to another, and
the family receives that child or none
No picking out of a bunch is allowed

To make sure of the happiness OF
the child, it is visited at least twice a

every placement is reported to the
state board of charities. which has the
child visited independently of the home
bureau and reported on. both to the
home bureau and to whomever else

interest in the child.
1t costs $1,000 a month to pay the

Home bureau, of which the city OF

afford to do this, because the home

Saves Money.

II Is estimated that the Railroad
Commission saves thousands of dol
lars to Kentucky annually, not to the
state treasury, but to the people of
the state. Its work has grown to such
proportions that 1t could not now be
easily dispensed with. Its very ex-
istence and power prevents railroad
companies from charging exorbitant
rates. IL exorbitant rates are charg-
ed any man or community may APP
peal to the Railroad Commission,
which summons both parties, gives
them a legal hearing and decides the
case. Most cases decided by the COM
mission last year were complaints
from small communities on coal rates
and in almost every case the rail
roads voluntarily reduced the rates
from 20 to so per cent. without the
commission having to assume juris-
diction. Freight rates on merchan-
disc also furnished numerous com
plants. and in most instances these
complaints were adjusted without
difficulty. In a few instances fthe
commission arbitrarily reduced rates.
The character of it's work is not so
much in deciding cases as its exis-
tence prevents grounds for COM
plants.

ABOUT TEN DAYS
Before Inspector Gano Returns to
Paducah.

Mr.. G. w. Gano, inspector for the
Tennessee and Kentucky board of un-
derwriters, has gone to Louisville to
meet Secretary Claude Snyder and
accompany him to Knoxville on bus
mess.
Mr.. Gano expects it will require
ten days to finish his business in Ten
nessee and will return to Paducah
soon as finished.
He stated that he found little in
clination in Paducah to repair but he
intended to keep pegging away until
the wiring was up to the standard.
He was pleased with the action of the
legislative boards in passing the wire
inspector ordinance. saying every lit
tie helped. and even If Fire Chief
Woods had the work to do. that he
could do a world of good.

A leader In the lower branch of
the legislature was in Frankfort this
week and said:
at was generally agreed at the ex-
ira session that two more commits
sions are needed and should be Great
ed at the next session of the legisla-
ture. An insurance commission is
needed fully as bad as the railroad
commission. The insurance compa-
MES doing business in Kentucky are
practically one combination. An in
surance board i'm every town fixes the
insurance rates arbitrarily. The peo-
Pile who pay for the insurance have
no say so in the fixing of rates. Ev-
cry insurance company doing busi-
ness in Kentucky abides by the rates
fixed for each town, and the property
owners of the town must pay the in
surance demanded by the companies
or allow their property to go unpro-
tected. For the first few years the
insurance commission would be kept
busy hearing complaints of exorbi-
tant rates. The rates are not equita-
BILE. For instance, rates In Lexing-
ton are about one-fourth what they
are in Paduoah for property simil-
arly protected from fire. An insur-
anee commission is needed to adjust
these rates on an equitable basis.

Goebel Monument.

Another commission to which the
legislature delegated powers, which
many constitutional lawyers thought
could not be delegated, was the Goe-
bel Monument Commission, which
consists chiefly of Arthur Goebel.
This commission is charged with Sc
lecting a monument to the late Sena-
tor William Goebel, and has held nu-
merous meetings in the past two
years. but has been unable to secure
a statue of Goebel which was accept
able to his brother.

MANY NEW BILLS
NOW CONTEMPLATED
For the Session of Legislature
at Frankfort.
Democratic Legislators Talk of Telc-
graph aud Telephone state
Commission.
WANT TO CONTROL EVERYTHING

The next regular session of the
Kentucky legislature, which CON
venes in January. 1906, will be call
ed upon to create several commits
sions. says the Louisville Herald. The
trend of legislation in the past few
years has been toward delegatlng
powers to commissions, and an at
tempt will be made to continue this
policy further next year.
In addition TO the Railroad Com
mission, many democratic legislators
want an insurance commission and a
telegraph and telephone commission,
the latter to have general supervis-
ion over telephones, telegraph COM
panies and express companies.

which goes to show that before the
competition they were making unfair
profits. On the other hand, the tele-
phone companies themselves are en-
titled to protection. If new com
pany enters the Held Il cuts the rates,
perhaps to an extent that means an
actual loss in running expenses, and
cuts the rate solely to run tho first
company out of the community, A
commission is needed badly in such
cases TO adjust the companies that
are arising all the time. One express
company does practically all the bus
mess in Central Kentucky and It's
rates are arbitrary.
cit was the general consensus Of
opinion of the members of the legls-
lature that have talked to that we
need at least two more commissions,
and Il is safe to say that an effort will
be made at least to create those two
commissions. The courts have now
fully determined the right of the
legislature to delegate It's powers,
and the work already accomplished
by the railroad commission shows the
the necessity and expedienoy of such
legislation; and besides" he added,
for he is democratic legislator,
"besides that, six Offices would be
created for six good men,"
