cation, to give their consent to the
alienation of all its vast property to
other uses than those for which it
was intended and to transfer its ad-
ministration and control to people who
might either belong to rival denomi-

is as if the legislature of New York
| were to enact a statute requiring the
| Catholic church, under the penalty of
confscation of it's property of one
kind or another, to consent to the

of religious belief, were in the ma

Were such laws to be enacted by
the state of New York the clergy and
trustees administering the great prop

and the clergy and trustees invested
with the direction of the property of
the Catholic church, would be prompt
religious grounds, but also by reason
of their conviction that compliance
would involve fragrant disregard
of their moral and material obligations
as trustees They would look upon
the law in question as iniquitous, as
unconstitutional, and would therefore
consider themselves justified in do
ing nothing to express their submis

1t is inconceivable to the American
people that the legislature of New
York or indeed of any other state OF
this great and free republic, should
enact any such laws of virtual spolia

French government has done.
In a. word the new law requires OF
