SUBJECT OF AN ADDRESS
Ancient Inhabitants Of Mexico Had
Beliefs Similar to Other
Religions.

"The Mexican Messiah was the subject
of an address by Prof Eudorus c. Kenney
before the Washington Secular League
yesterday afternoon at Pythian Temple.
Prof. Kenney recited the story Of QUIET
zalcoatl as given in the myths and leg
ends Of the Aztecs, and showed the SINH
larity between the NEUROLOGICAL Quetzal-
coatl and the supernatural heroes of other
religions. He held that their heroes and
'saviors'' and the wonderful stories asso-
ciated with them all have a common or
igin in the universal tendency of primitive
peoples to personify and deity the forces
and mysteries Of nature. Quetzalcoatl
was defined as "a combination Of man
and wind and sun deity
In conclusion the speaker referred to the
Spanish conquest Of Mexico and the dis
placement of Quetzalcoatl by Jesus in the
worship in Mexico Thus" he said. do
nations conquer nations. races overcome
races, say1Ors displace savfors, mythol0-
gies dispel mythologies, religions sup
press religions, gods triumph over gods.
Such is the struggle for existence such
the survival Of the f1ttest,' such is. evolu-
ton in the history of man."

CATHOLIC CHURCH PLAN.
Convention Of Delegates From Every
Part of North America.

An annual American Catholic church
convention. to consume from a week to a
month of each year, and to attract dele
gates from every Catholic church in
North America, is the object aimed for
by a movement which is being widely
discussed in Catholic circles. AS sug-
gested now, the annual convention would
be held in a different city each year, be-
ginning with Washington. The plan. it
is said, will be discussed by the Fedora
tor of Catholic Societies which convenes
at New .Orleans within the next two
weeks.
Very Rev. Alexander c. Doyle, rector of
the Apostolic Mission House at the Cath
Ollie University, said yesterday:
Il can see all the big Catholic organi-
cations of the country brought together
during some well chosen month when
everybody can attend, in Chicago or New
York. Such Catholic month will drew
to the city selected easily 10000 visitors.
II one eucharistic congress could attract
ZOO visitors, to Montreal, certainly
twenty-five Catholic conventions could
draw twice that number during a month
In any of our large cities.
"A crowd Of this kind would be pre-
eminently worthy of being catered to-.
The chamber of commerce Of Chicago
was ready to put up 100000 to entertain
an American eucharistic congress; so
would any city put up literally to enter
tain an American Catholic month"
