METHODIsTs IN ROME
Reply to Interview Given Out by Arch
bishop Ireland---Italy No Longer
Catholic Except in Name.


The American Methodist church in
the city of Rome WAS crowded on the
morning OF February 9th, the con-
gregation including many American
visitors, who were attracted by the
subject of Pastor b. NJ. Triples ser
pon, why Methodism Is in Rome"
1t WIS in the American Methodist
church that former Vice President
Charles W. Fairbanks delivered the
address which shut him off from be-
ing received in audience by the Pope,
an incident which has created much
discussion in Rome as well as in the
United States.
Rev. DR.. Triple said the Methodist
church was meeting with great suc-
cess throughout Italy. Such an in
ference could be drawn from the ex-
traordinary action of the Vatican
with regard to the proposed visit of
Ex-Vice President Fairbanks to the
Pope, and also from the bitter re-
sentiment of the Catholic clergy. AS
Mr.. Fairbanks spoke in the American
Methodist church, the pastor said it
Was fitting that from the same pulpit
the cIlarges preferred against. Meth
o,iism in Italy should be considered.
With reference to the assertion
that Methodists have no right to he
in Italy," said the preacher, '..the an
swer is, that we nre here under the |
Italian laws, adopted in the face of |
Vatican opposition, guaranteeing re-
ligious liberty to the people, Anoth-
err assertion by the Catholics il that
Methodism is not needed in Italy,
But Methodists believe that the need
is made general, as the Catholic
church is always more efficient for
good when compelled to compete
with aggressive Professionalism, as is
consplcuously evidenced in America.
The Catholic church suffers en-
barrassment when it is required to
satisfy the ideals of 4, great liberty

loving republic contenporaneously
with the demands of the Vatican,
which is still bound by the ideals of
the middle ages. This war proven
by the experience of Archbishop Ire
land, when he was here a year ago
studying the Methodist pr0paga nda
A great Lincoln banquet WAS arrang-
ed by the American colony. Very
properly Archbishop Ireland was
asked To speak. Very properly, as a
patriotic Americancitizen he accepi-
I'd the invitation. But Suddenly the
good archbishop recalled the accept
ance. The Vatican had forbidden
him to speak or attend the banquet,
because toast to President Roose-
welt WAS followed by toast to the
king Of Italy.
Italy needs Methodism because it
is no longer Catholic, except in name.
The charge of Methodists prosslyt-
ing is foolish. Their hands are full
in dealing with the unbeIievers. This
is proved by the last census, which
shows that Italy reports the largest
number of men without any religious
profession. 1t is true that the Meth
odists have ex-priests among their
workers, but none have. been actively
sought. The Methodist schools are
full because the children's parents
select them as best.
1.-The issue in Italy to-day is not
Professionalism vs.. Catholicism, but
Faith VS.. Atheism. Archbishop Ire
land has said that every convert to
Methodism costs $14OO. Ii that is
true, cannot the American Methodists
better afford to pay that than every |
three Italian laborers who carry one
The pastor urged that Archbishop
Ireland specify the dishonorable
Methodists here, and he added:
1T is playing with fire for the Cath
alic church to open the subject of
moral methods in Italy"

NO NEW ARRESTS MADE
IN THE CHURCH SCANDAL

PARIS. March 1O.-No further arrests
had been made today in connection with
the scandal developed in the discovery of
a shortage of something like $2OO0,OW IN
the accounts of NJ. Duez, one of the liqui-
dators of the church property taken over
by the state. The severe criticism of the
judiciary authorities for the lax control
over the liquidator continues, however.
and the prosecuting attorneys especially
are being attacked sharply.
The most fantastic details of methods
employed by Duez are published. Accord
ing to these he obtained commission
of $4,000 on the sale of the Stanislas col
lege property, and gave a long lease of an
other property for $1,000. The lease was
Immediately sub let for $1,000.
The Journal Olives some interesting fig
ures regarding the deterioration of the
property of non-authorized congregations
and teaching orders, which former Pre-
mier Waliock-Rosseau originally estimat-
ed would realize $500. 100000 for the state.
After inventories had been made the
estimated figures were reduced to 800. 000,-
600 and subsequently to $5OO.00O.0OO, when
the church issued decree of ex-commu-
nication against the purchasers. As a
matter of fact, the gross receipts thus
far from this property amount to only

expended in the adjudication of claims
against the property and in other costs.

commissions to the liquidators.
