preservation But the proclamation by an honest
believer that IF his religious principles contilcted
with the laws of the state be would, in order to
preserve his faith, leave the state and seek coun-
try where he could practice his religion legally
is not a REASONABLE utterance If such were trea-

Fathers! They left England because their native
land refused them the privilege OF freedom
of worship; they sought refuge at first in Hol-
land, and found at last upon the shores OF
Massachusetts. What of the followers of one Of
the greatest of the truly great of this world
and yet how little mention is made of his work
who gave to America the original colony of Mary
land and to the world of that day the first charter
of real freedom of worship! What OF the fol

They also left their homes because the civil law
was held to be above the law of conscience, and
they sought land where they could practice their
religion legally. What of these other peoples who
suffered the loss of all that hold dear rather
than sacrifice their religious beliefs. We're they

GOOD ADVICE.

in pointed article on "A Course of Studies
for Our Parish Schools" the Western Waterman
gives some very practical advice, both on religious
and secular instruction. Of the former it writes
I'VE must not try to make our first commune
cants theologians Much that is given about the
saeraHents and grace should be omitted The only
good effect such teaching can have is to show the
children how much there is left for tine to know,
and their reverence is increased on the theory,
"Omne ignotm pro magnifco." What is most
needed is famiarizing the children with the sac
raments; with the church and with the priests: es-
peciay with the last named. To know the cate
chism from cover to cover is good thing; but to
know the parish priest and to love him is better
thing, if the better includes the good We have
been teaching catechisln for over forty years. and
we invariably omit more than half the questions
in it. They too deep when they are not abso-
lutely silly.
We don't think the children should be required
to go to mass every morning We don't think little
tots should be made to use a prayer book What is
the meaning of teaching the first grade children
how to read the catechism, or the second grade
children how to say the beadsl Let them learn TO
read the catechsim as they would any other book.

AUTHORITY AND LIBERTY.

(Wrtten for The Intemountain Catholic)
question frequently discussed is the extent of
authority and the limits of liberty. Viewed apart
from religion, which binds and oblgates the crea-
ture to the Creator, they cannot co-exist. Hence
rationaists, aetheists and others who deny
First Cause, or Supreme Being, can find no real
foundation in the social order for authority which,
by right limits liberty. With them the great prob
lem is to reconcile both which they find, on their
principles to be antagonistc. In striving to adjust
the limits OF both liberty is sure to develop into
license, authority may become tyrannical On
Christian principles all contest ceases and both
work har1noniously together because both liberty
and authority are derived from God who is the alb
solute Master and Lord of all creation Before the
authority of God liberty ceases l. e., man is not
free to disobey and as God can command only
what Is right just and true obedience to the divine
will is real freedom because ''the truth shall make
all men free" Man is free to do what is just right
and true A demand to do what is not Just right
and true is license, and is opposed to the laws of
God and man. Real authority, which has its foun-
dation in God instead of opposing liberty is its
sole guarantee and vndicator. The authority of
the church and state alike are derived from God,
for as st. Paul expresses it: "Ihere is no power
unless from God" Authority not derived from
God is usurpation. No man. by his own inherent
right. possesses such authority, and its exercise
would be an infringement liberty. When church
or state exercises its authority the individual
or the community that is subject to them, they do
so as the Wears of God and the obedience they de-
mand is simply obedience to the divine will, or con-

Death Of Rev. r. 1. Rogers.

Rev. Robert Lee Rogers died at the
manse of the walhalla Presbyterian
church on this "wednesday morning at
1000 O'Clock after an illness of four
weeks from typhoid fever, complicated
with heart disease. He was born in
Lanrens county, near Fountain Inn, July
23, 1860. After graduation from the Co
lumbia Theological Seminary, he was
called to the pastorate of the Walhalla
Presbyterian church in 1897. For eight
years he served this and other churches
in the county with the greatest accepta-
bility. He was esteemed dearly by all
whom he served, and won the confidence
and love of those who knew him best.
He was the courteous, considerate Chris
tian gentleman always and every where.
His death is great surprise and shock
to the community, and deep regret is ex-
pressed by all at his demise. The be-
loved pastor and faithful minister has
finished his task in the midst of his
years and entered upon the reward of q
life we'll spent in the service of his Lord.
With grief-strioken hearts those near
and dear pass under the rod, and bow
with meek submission to the Divine will.
On December 22d, 1899, he was happily
married to Miss Ella Blanche Stock. She
and two children survive. His father
and mother, MIR. and Mrs. r. w. Rogers,
Of Fountain Inn, s. c., also survive.
They have the sincere coincidence of
hosts of friends at home and abroad in
the hour of their affliotion. His mother
has been seriously i'll for two months,
and before his sickness he was very anx-
ious about her,
His funeral services will be conducted
in the Walhalla Presbyterian church to-
morrow (Thursday) morning at ten
O'Clock, after which his body will be laid
to rest in Westview cemetery.

Tho Alliance Honey.

While the fate of the $4,000 known
as the Alliance exchange fund is still in
doubt, there are at least prospects of an
early settlement. This morning Judge
Cary, who heard the arguments at the
last term of court here, sent down his
decree, and the decision was read with
much interest by those Interested The
case grew out of decision of certain
members of the Alliance exchange to
distribute $4,000, which was all that re-
mained of the once large fund raised by
the farmers for the Alliance. Proceed
ings were brought by the other members
to prevent this and the case went to the
Supreme Court on demurrers. Finally
these were cleared away and the argu-
ments on the facts in the case were made
before Judge Cary. This morning he
decided that the complaint should be
dismissed and that the directors had the
right to distribute the money. The
money is now in bank and at one time
a receiver was appointed to take charge
of the money. 1t was announced to. day
by the attorneys interested that there
would be an appeal to the Supreme Court
on the decision, but when the Supreme
Court finally decides the points raised
this time it is expected that the funds
will once for all be either distributed or
held.-Columbi Record, July 10.

Child Killed While Playing Glide" 4"

Sumter, July 16.-Miss Motto Rodgers.
13 years old, while playing "hide and
seek" with few girl friends, met
tragic death. The street hands had dug
deep ditch to put down terracotta pip
ing. Along the side of this ditch were
placed on end the big joints. Yesterday
afternoon about $50 o'clock Miss
Rodgers, while playing, hid in one of
those joints. In some unaccountable
way, the joint began falling toward the
ditch. In trying to get out, the heavy
piping carried her downward. Her head
and shoulders caught on the opposite
side of the ditch, while the rim of the
heavy piping pressed down her back,
causing the rupture of internal blood
vessels. The only bruiso was on her
back. This is the supposed way the ac-
cident occurred. The little girl died at
11.3O O'Clock last night. She never lost
consciousness. Everything that profes-
sional skill and that friends could do,
was done to save her.
Motto Rodgers was pretty. very in
telligent girl. she was Christian. Her
bright smile and genial manners made
her friends and she kept them. The lit
tie girls father died before she was born
and the mother lavished double affec-
tion upon her only child.
