The official call for the convention has been issued
by the national president, Michael J. Ryan of Phil

throughout the country to elect delegates. In his
call President Ryan has emphasized the import

warded to the branches regarding the election of
delegates and the other details which will have to

EARLY BRITISH CHURCH.

Salt Lake City, Utah May %, 1908.
To the Editor of the Intermountain Catholic Salt
Lake City, Utah
Dear Sir-With the hope that some ADLER pen
than mine would call attention to the false posi-
ton you have taken in your editorial few weeks
ago on Henry VIII and the Reformation" have
postponed until now calling your attention to a
few errors of history you fell into in that article
cannot allow to go unchallenged your assumption
that, until the time of Henry WILL the Anglo-Catb
ollc Church was always in union with the Roman
Chair.
If we turn to history we will find that the
Church of England was established in Britain not
later than the close of the Second century: that
she was independent of Rome and that she has
had an unbroken continuance from then until now.
Tertullian writing in A. D. 1877. saws that dis
trlcts of Britain inaccessible to Rome had been
subdued to Christ. In the year A. D. 314 the church
sent delegates Bishops and priests to the Coun
eli OF Aries, and to that of Sardica A. D. 347.
Orgen A. ID. 239, tells us that Britain had but one
religion in his day-the religion of Christ. Chrvs
ostom, writing A. D. 367, speaks of the British
Isles as possessing churches and affairs. When An
CUISINE, A. d. 593, came to England as head of the
Roman Mission he found a Bishop. I,uidhart and
his attendant priests at the court of the vet heath
en- Ethelbert. And, again, he met seven Rritisb
Bishops at Bangor. From Bede we learn that when
the oa1ons landed in England they slew Bishops

If our correspondent will consult Protestant ms
tories. such as "Cobbett's History of the Reforma-
ton" Macaulays essay on "Ranke's History OF the
Popes," or "Hallam's Constitutional History" ne
will find much that may enlighten him on the be-
ginning of his church
In his History of England (vo ILL., p. "a the
Protestant historian James Anthony Froude writes
"And now the once open hand was closed, the once
open heart was hardened, and the creed of thou
sand years was made a crime by doctrine of yes
terday." This he wrote of the state of affairs in
his own country twenty years after Rome was
driven out.
In conclusion, may we ask Anglieanus why,
when during the last two years the French Cath
Ole Church was prosecuted by an infidel govern
ment-when the crucifixes and pictures of Christ
were removed from law courts school rooms, hos
pitfalls and public buildings, and the Minister OF
Worship in France stated that he "had driven
Jesus Christ from the schools and would drive Him
into the Mediterranean" no friendly voice was
raised by the Anglican Church-in succession to the
early British Church-to protest against the desc
Grafton of Gods temples in France and the bias
phemies uttered against the sacred name of Jesus.

Christ is the trunk, why was there voice raised
to cry out against the humiliations and sufferings
inflicted on her sister in France by atheists. deists
and other enemies of Christianity! On which side
were and are the sympathies of the English branch
of the Catholic Church then and now!
Let us add that when Angicanus furnishes us
chapter and page for his quotations, will cheer
fully consider his contention that the early British
Church was not in affiiation with the Chair of

MATRIMONIAL TEORIES.

Professor Henry Heath Bawden has achieved
some notoriety and several requests to resign his
position in Cincinnati on account of his views of
the marriage relation. 1t seems that Professor
Bawden is married and doesn't like his present mate
something like that. So from his point of view,
the present restrictions of the civil code are mar
row, and not to be tolerated by men of superior
mentality and fine ideals He believes or pretends
to believe that marriage should be an experimental
contract, and that if husband or a wife after
time comes to the belief that there is another one
in the world sympathetic or more desirable
it should be their privilege to go to the new one
and that stigma should attach to them for their
actions.
Professor Bawden and small coterie of admir-
ers no doubt convinced that these theories are
new, very advanced, and that broad grasp upon
life Is all that is needed to commend their views
to the world On the contrary, the theory is really
very narrow and primitive. Putting aside the sac
ramental character with which the marriage re-
lation was endowed by Jesus Christ, and consider
ing the marriage contract as civil one there is
no justification for regarding these theories as
new, broad enlightening From purely phil
osophical unitarian viewpoint they fail in ey-
or advanced. Rather do they bark back to the DAYS
when men were little better than the animals of
the field, before the civilizng influence of Chris
tanity served to elevate the human race. and hence
indicate reversion to the low state of humanity
which probably existed in prehistoric times. It is
utterly impossible to find single reason in all the
experience of mankind to justify these advanced
views"
Frequently since the decree of heaven was pro-
mulgated by the Savior there have been attempts
made to discard the present social system and de-
molish the family and the home by later dispense
tons. Some of these based their authority on So
called revelations from the Most High. while 9th
ers made no claim to divine guidance. relying en-
tlrely upon the superior wisdom of their devotees

The world has been afflicted with all sorts of mar
1tal arrangements, but none besides that founded
by God has stood the test of time These Bawden
theorists may deny God and defy the civil laws.
but when they advocate promiscuity of marriage.
they close their eyes to all social experiences and
overlook the bitter lessons taught by Others who
nave gone before. The present system for its man
lfest advantages has the sanction Of the civilized
world, and even if 1t had not the sanction of God it

WHY CHILDREN WORK.

The cost Of one battleship, 100000, repre-
sents the value of the earning capacity of 1000
men at So day for ten years; to pay for the six
teen batteships in the American navy today the
combined earnings of 1000 men at SO day from
the time of the Declaration of independence to the
present would not suffice. This represents the
whole earning capacity, and does not take into con
sideration the fact that the 1000 men would have
to give up part of their money to the grub trust
the oil trust, the farmers trust and trusts ad in
finitum, nor does it represent any cost of mainte
nance or repair
The cost of the navy is drain upon the re-
sources of the country. The drain upon the planet
by the combined navies of the world is SO stunen-
dous that the only wonder is that the people are
capable of producing enough in addition to hermit
comfortable existence. 1t is an unfortunate. but
seemingly compelling, expense, and indicates ra-

Besides all this. it is the most charitable view of
the Thaw case that he insane. as the jury de-

Such view relieves Thaw of the crime in the eyes
of the law, but places the responsibility of proven

orally commended.

WHERE HE BELONGS.

The decision of the New York court remanding
Harry K Thaw to the retreat at Matteawan was
expected by nearly everybody. 1t seems to be the
popular belief that he is where he belongs. The
testimony at the trial upon which he was declared
insane, and at the recent inquiry into his mental
condition, was such that any other decision would
have aroused many scandalous differences as TO the
partally of the courts and the influence of wealth
upon the administration of justice And these in
1erenees would not have been entirely unmerited.
Tor the consistency of proving insanity to save the
gentleman's precious life and having saved it. at
