CATHOLIC CONVERTS MADE PULPIT ISSUE
 BY DR. VAN ALLEN
(New York Times.)

Dr. William Harman Van Allen, rector of the Church of the Advent of Boston, beginning a series of six lec- lures last night at Trinity Chapel, IS West Twenty-si Street. with dis cussion of "Catholicism and Roman ism declared that Rome claims a monopoly on what we believe to be our inheritance"
 A controversy between the Episco- pal Church and the Roman Catholic Church, to the mind of pr. Van Al len, was a, regrettable necessity inas- much as the Episcopal Church believ- ed in it's inheritance, from apostolic times Of the true faith investing it as the Holy Catholic Church with the au- thority to preach the teachings Of the Apostles, .oI,dain and consecrate priests Church lays exclusive claims to the divine and infallibIe authority center ing in the Bishop of Rome.
 The controversy forced by the Ro- man Catholic Church in a thousand ways,'' Dr. Van Allen said. of neces- sity should be first pure, then peace able,'' because the Episcopal Church had more in common with the Roman Catholic Church than it had in diff ferences There was no need for big otry or bitter accusation, he said and he had mo patience with the sour rilous and vile-mouthed accusers of the Roman Catholic Church.
 But we must not be silent in the face of Roman claims.'' declared the speaker. Hest that silence seem to give consent
 First. Pr, Van Allen called atten- use of words Some words, he saidp and some names were things to die for. The name Catholic he main tained was a surname of the Episco- pal Church and when men denied the right to it to the Episcopal Church, it was time to press the claim" He explained the Greek derivation of the word catholic" which meant "uni- VRrS91'' As 2pnli0d f0 the Greek Church and the Eastern Catholic Church. the word catholic was bracing all men Professing the belief in Christ.
 "It conveys the idea of universality of dissemination" said pr. Van Allen, fin contrast to one creed The Cath ollie Church is the church for all men in all conditions and in all ages.
 Now the Papalists maintain that Catholic is synonymous with tRo man. and they define a Catholic as one who is subject to the Bishop of Rome.''
 Dr. Van Allen said that with the continued assumptions of the Roman Catholic Church had come series of militant aggressions and proselytisms, the Roman Catholic Church eontinu- faith men of other religious bodies.
 t'It is characteristic of the Roman Catholics,' declared Dr. Van Allen, "that they trumpet abroad their con quests with a childlike simplicity, and they believe as they are taught, that ali men must be brought under the universal subjection of the Pope If tlae Roman Catholic claims are true, then there is nothing for us to do but submit. but if in part they are false, to submit is sinful.
 ..I personally have received into our faith more converts from the Roman Catholic Church than any priest has received from our faith into the RO- man Catholic Church, but I have. not cast it abroad. I have not boasted openly of it when some maid servant came into our church"

feat before Washington College, % to Il.
As the score indicates. the game was
very ragged. the offense of both teams
being much stronger than defense. Be-
fore Gallaudet had found themselves,
Washington College had scored three
touchdowns. The weather was raw. and
fumbling was the best thing that each
team did Quarter Back Moore played
a beautiful game throughout. fighting
against the inevitable. The beautiful
playing Of the Washington ends made
him rely wholly on tricks and line
plunges.
The two touchdowns scored by Gallau-
det were made by Quarter Back Moore
One was on a straight buck between
guard and center, and the other was on
a finely executed quarter back run from
shift formation. The last run was for a
distance Of IS yards through the entire
Washington College team, Moore twist
irg and slipping by each man until the
line was passed.
Jacobsen. who played a star game for
the first quarter, sustained a slight CON-
cussion of the brain In the second quar-
ter and will be lost to the team for the
rest Of the season. With Rockwell and
Miller already out, this makes a great
handicap under which the Buff and Blue
must work.
Classen and Kendall did some splendid
line bucking. The real feature OF the
game was beautiful long forward pass

about 10 yards, making possible the first
touchdown Every trick attempted by
Gallaudet worked, with the exception
OF one forward pass, which went astray
Branham, Biddle, and Bowen did most
of the gaining for Washington College,
and their work was clean-cut and fast.
Gallaudet lost because the other team
was better. 1t was a little stronger In
every department Of the game, with the
exception OF the line plays. Washington
College ran the ends and shot of tackle
pays for all they were worth, while
