A recent novel. entitled How I Came
TO Do IT.: or, The Celibacy of the
Clergy" published in England by the
Rev. j. Blackswhite, mas been pro-
nounced by Catholic clergymen a most
amusing book, and as instructive as it
is amusing. In serious passage,
however, the author pays the following
striking tribute to rne unity of the
Catholic church:
IF all men possess the exact truth
about anything whatsoever, then it is
quite certain that they will all be In ex-
oct agreement about it, and completely
at one at least on that subject In
fact, this, no doubt, is the only reason
why all men agree about<the multipli-
cation table.
Similarly, If a hundred million men
possess the genuine doctrine of Christ.
they must all be in agreement with one
another. For truth rs strong bond
of cohesion. Now look at the Roman
Catholic church. by far the vastest or
ganization in existence. That church
presents us with the most extraordi-
nary spectacle that the world has ever
seen-the spectacle of some two hun
dred and fifty millions of rational, in
dependent beings, comprising men of
every language, nation, color and ira
dition, absolutely united concerning all
articles of faith which are authorita-
lively proposed to them. They all be-
lieve the same doctrines, and are as
essentially one on the truths OF reli-
gion as they are on the truths of the
multiplication table. Fsow do they come
to be so united? Well, if their church
really does communicate to them the
unadulterated teaching of Christ that
will unquestionably suffice to account
for the phenomenon; since to unite all
TO the same truth is to unite each and
all to one another

NO THEATRES ON

ORDERS STRICT
No Exceptions Will Be Made to
the 0rder-Ban on All
Shows.
DECIDED BY CHIEF AT
CONFERENCE YESTERDAY
Four Places of Amusement Nea.
Four Corners Will Be
Affected.

After the regular Monday conference
held Yesterday between Chief of Police
Corbitt and the six precinct captains of
the city, orders were ISSUED to the man
agement of all the theatres and other
places of entertainment that no further
Sunday performances would be allowed.
Those having in charge the various
places Of amusement throughout the
city were given to understand that
there Nere no exceptions to this order.
no matter for what purpose the per-
forn1ances are held. and they were ad.
vised to govern themselves accordingly.
This order will affect four places of
amusement in the central section of the
city, where regular Sunday perform
ances have been carried on during the
winter months. and many more will be
affected in the outlying districts. What
action the management of these places
will take is proplematical
When ii was reported that similar
order was to nave been issued some
months ago many of the managers ex-
pressed themselves as being willing to
join in movement for tile purpose
of fighting the matter in court and de-
termining their exact status under the
law.
They pointed out that the same con-
ditions existed in New York city, but
that the theatrical managers fought
the matter to a finish, and are now en-
abled to give Sunday performances,
although the greatest care must be OBJ
served lest the Sunday laws be vio-
lated.
