RELIGION AND THE CHURCHES.

Professor Fisher proposed that
the churches be closed for a year or
two to give the Christian religion a
better chance, and President Shank
lin, OF Wesleyan, forthwith accepted
Professor Fishers resignation from
the faculty of that college, and the
Weekly said something about it.
Is there anything reprehensible in
the idea that the Christian religion
is making gains outside of the
churches? Mr.. Powers seems rather
resentful of the suggestion. Profess
sor Fisher, so far as we know, was
sincerely respectful of the religion.
but was separated from Wesleyan
because he seemed to have been i'm
polite to the churches. When you
think that Wesleyan was named for
the Wesleys, and that the special
merit of the Wesleys was that they
broke away from the roofed-in
churches of their time and started
something on the outside-in the
fields; anywhere they could find peo-
pie to listen-the humor of the de-
tachment of Professor Fisher from
Wesleyan appears.
Christianity exists not for the
churches, but for the people. Any
way so the people get it! 1t works

Scarboro Lectures to Large Audience

Liberty League Was Organized
resolutions Adopted P1edging
! Support to Watson in Fight
/ Against Rome.
80 HE two lectures of Rev. J. A.
Scarboro, of Arkansas, at the
courthouse Wednesday morn
ing and evening were attend
ed by large crowds who listened
with close attention to the revela-
ton Of the inward facts of Roman
ism by the great Arkansan.
considering the extremely unfav-
Orable condition Of the weather at
the evening hour, the crowd was es-
pec1ally good, eVidencing the great
Importance attached to this question
by the people of LAGRANGE and
Troup county Had the weather
been favorable the house would mot
have held the crowds.
At the morning lecture Mr.. Scar
Ooro, who was introduced by DR.. w.
L. Pierce showed how the Roman
catholic church is destroying the
freedom Of the press, making war
upon our school system, appropri-
at1ng public funds to sectarian in
situations and rapidly securing con-
troll OF various branches of the gov
eminent. He was frequently ap-
plauded, and his reference to the
fact that Thos. e. Watson had
freed the 'possum" was greeted by
rousing cheer.
Mr.. ScarbOrO rgards the trial of
Mr.. Watson, which is to come off
at Augusta soon as one of the most
important events in the history of
human liberty, and announced that
he was going to the trial to ''put his
heart by the side of Toms" in the
great fight.
To disprOve the contention of the
priests that anti-Catholics have gone
back into the dark ages and dug up
matters which were settled centu-
r1es ago, the recent utterances of a
st. Louis priest were quoted to the
effect that in conflict between the
Catholic church and the government
all Catholics would fight the govern
ment, and that the word of the pope
at Rome was the highest law known
to Catholics.
At the evening lecture Mr.. Scar
boro went into the doctrines of the
Catholic church, discussing in detail
the theories of absolution, where the
priest, for a monetary consideration,
forgives the sins Of a confessor; in
dulgencies, where the priest sells
the right to commit sin; transub-
sanitation, the confessional pur-
gatory, etc. He called attention to
the fact that through all the ages
the Catholic church has supported
itself upon the ignorance and super
StitiOn OF it's victims.

of all anti Catholics who are willing
to fight for American liberties.
AT the close of the lecture Mr.. S.
G. Woodall was requested to take
the chair, for the purpose of tenn
porary organization, and after
thanking Rev. Scarboro for his
splendid lecture, offered the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, our fellow statesman,
the Hon. Thos. E. Watson, has been
arrested and indicted for publishing
and sending through the United
States mail extracts from a Roman
Catholic theological book. Said ex-
tracts are claimed to be obscene,
and
Whereas, we believe this prose-
cution is being instigated by the Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchy to suppress
the truth about the Roman Catholic
church, and also an effort to sup
press free speech and free press;
and
Whereas, we believe in free
speech and free press, and an entire
separation of church and state.
Resolved, That we extend to the
Hon. Thos. E. Watson our sympathy
III what we believe to be a malicious
prosecution, and pledge him our
moral and financial support in this
great fight for political and relig-
ious liberty.
The resolution was adopted by a.
practically unanimous rising vote.
The following resolution was then
read and adopted:
Whereas, The effort is being made
to corrupt our government by inject
ing the dogmas and authority of
popery over American political af
fairs, tending to a union of church
and state, and
Whereas, The dogmas of the Ro-
manist Hierarchy demand a political
allegiance of every member of that
religious order, making their allegi-
ance to this government secondary
and subordinate, and
Whereas, This issue has been
forced upon us by the organized ag-
gressive efforts of the said hierarchy
"to make America Catholic;" there
fore,
Resolved, First, that we, as Amer
lean citizens, believing in religious
and political liberty, and being re-
solved to oppose this movement.
hereby dedicate ourselves to the
necessary and patriotic duty of pre-
serving the same.
Second, For the purpose of Sc
curing the united cooperation of all
lovers of liberty, civil and religious.
we organize ourselves into a liberty
league, said league to be purely
democratic in form, and all officers
to be elected by the membership,
and all work done to be determined
by the membership in council
Third, That we will gladly Coop
crate with all organizations in de-
Tending and promoting the sacred
cause Of our liberties.
Fourth, We protest in the name
OF liberty and the constitution of
the United States against the per-
Secutlon of American citizens for
publishing the truth about corrupt
institutions, and declare that such
prosecutions can have no other OBJ
Ject in view than the destruction of
free speech and press in this repub-
lie. And that we will unite our
EFFORTS, our means, our sacred hon
or, and if need be, our lives, to-
maintain unimpaired the rights and
liberties wrought out in blood and
bequeathed to us as sacred inheri-
