SUNDAY MORNING TALK.
Saving the Country.

Along about election time we always get
considerable talk about saving the coun-
try" On the lips of selfish politicians the
phrase really means saving my party" or
Saving my chance to bleed and LOOT the
community" But, thank heaven. We have
not yet come to such a pass in this coun-
try that the great body of electors are in
different to the higher and the true mean
ing of the rallying cry save the country"
And there has never been a year in the
eventful history of this nation when it was
more necessary to send forth this clarion
call.
The shocking revelations of corruption, Of
faithlessness to the claims of widows and
orphans. of systematic and long-continued
plundering of great cities have startled
some of us out of our sleep of ignorance
or the still more fatal stupor of easy-going
acquiescence in wrongdolng, so long it
does not come near our own business or

Old Catholic Church is Sprneing Up IN Cleveland, Ohio

I'VE maintain that the immaculate con-
ception of Mary is no part of revealed re-
ligion.
THE dogma of papal infsilibility We also
repudiate as repugnant alike to Scripture
and primitive Christianity"
Bishop ITCHY was formerly a priest OF
this diocese of the Catholic Church. He
withdrew from its priesthood last year and
Immediately applied for commission as
episcopal administrator from the archbish-
op of Utretcht. His parishioners in large
part were at war with the existing state of
affairs, and Joined with him in his seces-
sion Father Kolaszewski of ST. Stanislas
parish Joined with him, and later Father
Radiszewski. Bishop ITCHY was publicly
accommodated I'm all the Catholic churches
of this diocese. after the inception OF his
movement
He now controls the large cathedral chap
ell OF the Old Catholic Church on Woodland
Hills avenue. where stands the episcopal
residence; church on Forestdale avenue,
mission In Lakewood and Father Kolas-
Zewskfs ST. Stanislas parish church.
The Old Catholic Church In Europe has
three seminaries for its priesthood-one in
Utrecht. one In Bonn and a third in Berne,
Switzerland. Here aspirants for the Amer
ican priesthood go to study, and many are
now fitting themselves for missionary work
in this country
our movement is growing rapidly" said
Bishop ITCHY Friday. There are petitions
from Poles, Croatians and Bohemians tho
country over for a church that they can
call their own. Though we were incorpo-
rated only In January last. we have a
great and growing following. We seek
only for the good of our parishloners. They
demand the right of selecting their own
priests. in the Roman Catholic Church
they are fighting, in ST. Vitus parish and
others, for the sort OF pastor who can ad.
minister to their wants.
They demand the right OF owning the
property their hard-earned dollars have
paid for. These are the principal reasons
for our secession from the Roman Church.
The lOgmaS which rpDndiafa have long
been repudiated in the minds of our com-
muncants. and we simply represent their
desires in adopting the Catholic creed az ie
existed prior to 100 A. D."

Falashas have sent to their co-reigionists
in Europe and Palestine by a Jewish trav-
eler, NJ. Taitlovitch. The letter, which is
written in the Ethiopian dialect, states
that while in the reigns of the Emperors
Theodore and John attempts were made
forcibly to convert the Falashas, the EN-
peror Meneik allows them to remain true
to the faith of their fathers. OF their
200 synagogues, however only thirty re-
main; and all of their literature has been
burnt by the Dervishes. During the time
of the Dervishes, they write, a frightful
number of people died from famine. Two
young Falashas accompanied the traveller
to Paris and were the objects of general
curiosity in the principal French syna-
gogue on the day of attonement, French
1Sraelites were generally unaware of the
existence of negro Jews.

shores great floods of immigrants of Cro-
allan. Dalmatian. Bohemian. Slavonian and
Polish birth, the seeds of an old religion,
new to this side of the seas. have been
brought to take root It's first sprout has
risen here in Cleveland, which thus be-
comes the center of movement which its
founders declare will sweep across the land
The religion is that of the Old Catholic
or Jansenist. church of Holland. Its head
is the archbishop of Utrecht. Its American
leader is Bishop Jan FIR. ITCHY, who bears

sion episcopal administrator in America
Already three thriving churches of the
faith have risen here in Cleveland, and now
1t has been found necessary to send for five
priests from Europe to take up the work
that has become too widespread for the
efforts of the local priesthood of the church.
The name of the movement Is the National
Catholic Diocese in America, and is incor-
porated as a missionary branch of the Old
Catholic Church of Holland.
The creed of the Old Catholic Church is
tersely expressed in letter to the Siavs,
issued by Bishop ITCHY:
I'VE believe in the use of a liturgy in the
vernacular of the people 1t says, "and
intend to prepare such forms of worship
suited to the various needs of local con-
STeSatlOnS-
I'VE believe that the property of each To-
cal congregation should be owned by its
trustees and not vested in the bishop.
We believe that each congregation
should have the selection of its pastor, and
not be at the mercy of an episcopal despot
as in the Roman Church.
I'VE believe in the American public school
system, our nations chiefest glory and see
no reason for the maintenance of parochial
schools
I'VE maintain no attitude of hostility to-
ward secret societies.
I'VE believe in the free circulation of the
Scriptures, I'm all languages and in their
study as calculated to foster a knowledge
of pure Christianity.

as one of the traditions of national life?
The creator of a thought that lives in the
minds of men has wrought nobly. I4a may
die-that is. he may by the touch of death
pass on TO the knighthood of Immortality
hut the thought he has left in the world,
that is immortal too and he will hear it
again from a thousand or ten thousand
lips as they come TO greet him in the great
beyond What creation this. to clothe
good thought in comely verbage and to
bless the world with the immortality of its
life! Few of US may vie with Solomon in
his ability TO create proverbs for mankind,
and fewer still, perhaps. in poetic instinct,
to put songs on the lips of the people. The
men and women who have power to set a
nation singing may be few indeed, but the
creator of a song that helps a mother still
the sobbing of her child or nerves the SOL
dier for his awful ordeal. or that lifts the
soul into the atmosphere of worship, ought
TO find heaven infinitely sweet and satisfy
ing. y songless world would be a very dis
NAL world, and the author of a song that
gives vent and satisfaction to the feelings
which the human soul needs and longs to
utter has had very happy mission given
HIM by the God who gave us all our work
TO do
Solomon "spake 1000 proverbs and his
songs were 1905" l think that all else
he did pales into insignifcance beside this.
It was no great thing, at least it is no great
thing to remember merely that he was
king. Kings are mortal. No more space
is needed for their ashes than for ordi-
nary men. and death Yields no Indulgence
