Just as truly as the old Jewish Sab

Seventh day of the week. But perhaps
I awe an apology to my opponent for
calling it the Fourth" Commandment,

nullihed by absorption into the First.

known something of the facts. There
are no such witnesse All contem-
porary history is silent as to Peters
having been Bishop of Rome, or even
having ever been in Rome. But fact
so fundamental. to the Papal preten-
slons, could not, if true, have been left
in such obscurity.
I have not admitted the fact of Pc
ter's holding any Primary among the
Apostles, in the sense of high author
ity over the rest of the Church No
doubt our Lord did appoint Peter to
some temporary precedence, in order
to promote the early organization Of
the infant churches. 1t was evidently
transient and soon expired There is
no allusion either in the Epistles or in
the Acts of the Apostles to any dis
tinctive authority residing in Peter.
That sort of Papal Lordship is wholly
a Pigment of the later centuries when
the Church had become allied with and
corrupted by the wicked Imperial pow
er of Rome.
The Gates of Hell seemed for a time
almost to have prevailed against the
Church But the Lord sent the glori-
Gus Protestant Reformers and rescued
his dear Flock fom the enemy.

EDITOR HAWAIIAN STAR.-Yes-
terday's Advertiser contains a rejoind-
er by the Rev. ]. c. Beissel to my let
ter in your issue Of the 18th. AS this
controversy has hitherto been conduct
ed in The STAR will you permit me to
continue it there? 1 hope not to add
anything after the present communi-
cation.
AS I expected, the learned Father
my challenge to quote any explicit Ian
guage of our Lord empowering Peter
to transmit to the Bishops of Rome
or any other successors any special au-
thority which might have been con-
ferred on himself He certainly cam
not quote any such language. our
Lord never empowered Peter to hand
on such authority to the Bishops of
Rome, or to any other Bishops What
ever Peters especial authority may
have been, 1t was temporary, and died
with himself Any other inference is
mere conjecture, and of no value
Hence the pretension of tne Bishops Of
Rome to possess authoAry over the
Church Universal is a bald usurpation
and a most monstrous and pernicious
one.
My opponent, however, seeks refuge
behind a very futile device. He wants
to throw the burden of proof upon me-!
He claims that I must first prove my
right to ask for such evidence. Now
| the burden of proof is naturally and
necessarily upon the party who makes
the claim Of authority. Show us un-
mistakably your authority, or else
stand aside!
If a man comes demanding posses

! his title thereto by unquestionable
documentary evidence. am not call
ed on first to prove my right to deny
his title. That is absurd. I have the
natural and necessary right and duty
to resist his false claims, until he has
proved them true. That so acute a
logician as Father Beissel should re-
sort to so false a device evidences how
completely he finds himself at fault.
AS to the fright of private tudg-
ment," Protestants do not assert such
! right against the clear declarations of
Gods Holy Word. We do claim such
right against all usurping attempts Of

The question of "the seventh day of
