state Is lending TO any community that
may apply for the same

The Lectures to Non.catholIc..
Editor Democratic Advocate

Editor Democratic Advocate.
Dear Sir: The series Of lectures
advertised in your columns and de-
liyered In the hall at Union Mills last
week failed to receive recognition by
any comment In your paper The lee
lures were OF the highest type intel
iectually. The attendance was ex-
ceptionally good considering the sub
lects, Eyars night the hall was well
hlied by apparently an appreciatiye
and respectful audience, and It is
hoped that many false ideas an TO
what the Catholic church believes and
teaches have been disproyed. Such
lectures are given In the hope that
they may revive an interest in the
much agitated question OF the inspira-
ton OF the Holy Scripture and the
divine nature OF our Saviour which
is being attacked on all sides. These
are matters that effect seriously all
profession OF christianity and the civ
ilization OF which we are all so boast
full. These facts are OF vital import
ance and It is this that should make
any newspaper take an account OF
them. be II TO commend or otherwise
