Editorial Opinion

Religious Intolerance in England.
New York World.
The outbreak OF sectar,an prejudice IN
London In connection with the Eucharisuc
Congress is a strange manifestation for
these days Of religious liberation. To
Americans reared in an atmosphere of
freedom Of worship and equal protection
for all faiths this belated renewal Of old
time hospitality must be puzaling Not
even in France. where the Church OF
Rome has good grounds for complaining
Of unjust treatment at the hands Of thi
Government would such a demonstration
be likely to occur.
England is admittedly q Protestant
country, as Ireland is a Catholic coun-
try. It enjoys both religions liberty and
civil equality. 1t is eighty years since the
Catholic Relief bill was passed. AT Its last
session Parliament provided for tne Gre
alton Of an Irish university for the bene-
ft of the Irish Catholics. But the fact on
an Established Church, clothed with legal
and political privileges. remains. In This
survival of the union Of the Church and
state undoubtedly lies the real cause OF
the private protest against the plans an
nounced IN the course of the Eucnaristic
Congress. Probably the Protestants are
more noisy than numerous. but they would
not receive a hearing If there were not a
State religion in England.
During the long debates on the educa-
ton bills the question Of religion in the
public schools provoked intense bitterness.
Then it was the Nonconformists who de-
manded equal treatment under the laws,
and the influence Of the Established
Church that led in defeating reforms.
However liberal popular sentiment at
heart, so long as the State gives special
recognition to one church or sect over
others religious bigotry and intolerance
will find a foothold in the law from which
to plague England with their angry con-
trOversies.

HEAVY FINE ON
ASSAULT CHARGE

William Wilson made vigorous plea
for himself in City Court this morning
but it did not save him from receiv-
ing a stiff fine on a charge of assault
and battery. The prosecuting witness
was Mabel ShifendeclSer who came into
court with baby in her arms
She and Wilson lived at No. 6O6
Church street, she told the court, and
yesterday Wilson had beaten her. She
said he had been drinking and that
was not the first time he had beaten
her
Wilson denied the accusation. He
said that the woman had thrown
thin~s at him, one thing in particular
being a frying pan and the black eye
she had was caused, he said by her own
evolutions I'm welding the frying pan
Judge Cochran was inclined to be-
lieve the woman's story and imposed
a fine upon Wilson Of $50 and costs.

WRITES HYMN
1t Was Sung at the Service in
the Unitarian Church
Yesterday

A hymn composed by Jerome B. Bell
editor Of the Sunday star, and a mem-
Der Of the Unitarian Church. was sung
at the morning service in the church
yesterday. The hymn has been published
in The Unitarian and has attracted much
interest.
The Rev c. A. Henderson. before the
singing of the hymn. said:
'Unitarians have brought religious be-
liefs TO the bar of the intellect, and they
do hold a faith which they account square
with all other orders of knowledge; but
they have not for that matter ceased to
put reverence and aspiration and the
realities of religious emotion above any
system Of thought which seeks TO inter-
pret them. Their many great hymns unite
them to the great brotherhood Of men and
saints in all ages"
Following is the hymn:
A PRAYER.
oh God, whose law controls the blazing
And all the countless orbs that whirnng
run
From out Thy hand, like chan before
the wind
Make me to know Thy will. oh Mighty
onel
Make me to know the Truth, whate'er
It be:
Lead me to do the Right, and show to me
How I may rise to Thy celesr.sl height,
And be from Error and its evils free.
Oh Give me courage to pursue ths way
That 1 should go. Let naught my prog
fess stay;
Nor fear nor pride. nor selhshness nor
greed
Turn me aside or cause me to delay.
am so weak; I would be strong and
true;
Thy purpose would know; and If /
knew
How might live the best of Life to
make.
Whatever should be done, I'd try to do.
am so blind; can not see the Light:
with hating steps 1 grope, as though
'twere night;
Yet all around feel the glow Of day:-
Touch Thou my clouded eyes ami give
me sight
Guide me along the path the Teacher
trod;
Let Thou my feet with faith ike His be
shod:
Fill Thou my heart and soul with love
Of Right
Ihus nearer shall I come to Thee oh
God!

The Democrats of this county held their pri-
rnaries on Saturday There were few contests
and the Democratic vote is not likely to increase
the hopes of the Democrats for victory in this
county next November. In fact. with the nomi-
nation of a good ticket by the Republicans and
with fine record in the conduct of the affairs of
the county, there is no valid reason for change
and the county ticket may be expected to win by
more than a satisfactory majority.
