liiy Morning Journal Special Leased Wirel
Chicago, Feb. S.-The following
statement was offered the Associated
Press by Archbishop Ireland today:
People in America may easily mis-
apprehend the circumstances in Rome
which led the vatican to refuse an au-
dience with the Holy Father to Mr..
Charles w Fairbanks after he, for
mer vice. president of the United
States would have made a public adj
dress before the Methodist association
of that city. Most likely Mr.. Fair
banks. himself. did not fully realize
tho meaning which Romans would at
tribute to his address.
1T was not a question of Mr. Fair
banks being a Methodist or going to
Methodist church in Rome for Sunday
deVotions II was a question of ap-
pearing to give the fullest approval to
the work of the Methodist association
in Rome American Methodistts are
active and it may readily be said
pernicious prosclyters. The Methodist
association is not in Rome to serve
and meet American Methodists but to
peryert from the Catholic faith all
those whom they can influence.
I was in Rome last winter and |
made "A very particular study of this
Methodist propaganda. 1t has gone
SO far that Catholics have organized
lne society Tor Inc preservation OIL the
fai'h To tight against il
The purpose OF the work Of the
Methodist association in Rome is con-
fcssed openly. The means employed
are by no means honorable. They
take every advantage of the poverty
OF the poor of Rome. The books cir
culated and displayed in the windows
Of their book stores are slanders
against the Catholic faith the Holy
Pontin at Rome and misrepresenta-
tion of the whole Catholic system.
Now, public address by a former
vice-president of the United States be-
fore the Methodist association can
have no other meaning in the eyes of
the Roman public than American APP
proval Of the propaganda of the
Methodist association.
1T was simply impossible for the
holy father in his official position as
sovereign pontin of the Catholic 4
to do aught else than to say
politely to Mr.. Fairbanks:
~ cannot receive you and accord
YOU the honors due YOU in all other
as an American and as
a distinguished representative of a
great republic. "

CHILDREN GIVE TO

Xmas Exercises of the First

The Christmas exercises of the First
Baptist Sunday school last night We're
llrgcly attended and proved a very
pleasing entertainment for the child
drcn, their parents and friends.
Illness in various families and the
absence of some of the children had
broken in on the original program 10
some extent, but the exercises were
thoroughly enjoyable throughout and
as varied as they We're pleasing
The singing by the school was ex-
cellent and the various recitations re-
fiected credit upon the children. In
stead of the old fashion of giving pres
ents to the children, there was the
fuller expression of the Christmas
spirit in the giving by the children
to those less fortunate than them
selves. Each class made a presenta-
ton to the Georgia Baptist orphanage
at Hapewell, some classes of money
and others of substantial goods that
can be used to advantage at the in
stitution. A spokesman for each class
presented it's gift either in a few we'll
chosen words, or with a recitation ap-
propriate to the occasion.
AT the completion of the exercises
the children and grown folks were
feasted On ice cream and cake, and
the evening brought to close in a
delightful manner
