District Conference of the M. E. Church.

The annual District Conference of the
Franklin District of the Methodist Epis-
copal church was held at Kellettville on
June % and % of last week. This con-
ference includes the pastors and all the
members Of the quarterly conferences of
all the ministerial charges included 10
the Franklin District of the Erie Con-
ference. The District superintendent,
Rev. A. r, Rich, presided over the con-
ference. The attendance was not very
large, probably owing to the difficulty to
be experienced in reaching Kellettville
from the various points of the district.
Considerable business was transacted in
the way of action relative TO those held,
or were candidates for, licenses to exhort
or to preach las local preachers) in the
M. E. body. There were also recommen-
dations to the annual conference which
will meet at Sharon in September for
entrance into that body. Among those
licensed to preach is Warren f. Jones, of
Newtown Mills, son of W. F. Jones, of
that place. Mr.. Jones will assist Rev.
Henry Smalenberger on the Kellettville
charge in helping to care for the work at
Minister, on Tionests creek, up above
Kellettville. The license of f. v. Hem
Erickson, of Kellettville, as an exhorter,
was also renewed.
The conference sermon was preached
by Rev. W. f. Frampton, of Housewife,
former pastor at Kellettville, and the
closing sermon by Rev. ]. K. Hillard,
also former pastor. Rev. J. A. Lsvely,
temperance evangelist of the Erie Con-
ference, and Rev. J. II. Jelbart, of Chi
cora, delivered addresses on phases of the
temperance question. l.. o. Brown, s,
s. Missy, of the American Sunday School
Union, and s. p. Anderson, connected
with the Vensngo County Sunday School
Association, and with the State Associa-
tion also, in the A. b. G. work, gave ad-
dresses. Mr.. Brown is a chalk talk and
paper artist OF no small repute and effi-
cheney. There we're also other interesting
features. Good music was rendered by
the local choir and local singers. The
conference closed with the communion of
the Lords Supper, Rev. A. X. Rich hav-
ing charge thereof.
One thing disclosed, TO an observer, by
the workings of the conference, ia the
csrefulness with which the way into the
ministry of the church is safeguarded.
And another thing is the large part the
membership of the church have in the
question OF entrance into the ministry.
Altogether the meeting was good one:
interesting, lively, pleasant throughout.
The next meeting will be beld at Rouse
Vile.

Further Hold-Up of Road Money.

A Harrisburg dispatch under date of
18th inst, says: Counsel for State Treas
urer Robert K. Young and Auditor Gem
ersl A. W. Powell yesterday gave notice
in filing the appeal to the supreme court
from the decision of judges McCarell and
Henry, upholding the constitutionality OF
the automobile license fee case that they
would ask for supersedes to prevent the
state highway department getting any of
the license money for maintenance of
state highways. By this action the two
fiscal officials came right into the open
with move to block any work being
done on the badly run down highways
about which there has been so much COM
plant.
When one of the cases was being argued
Attorney General John G. Bell invited NJ.
Hampton Todd, former attorney general
and council for Young, to argue the con-
stitutionality of the act, but be declined.
This indicated an intention to block, it
was asserted which the judges upset by
passing on the consttutionslity.
When the appeal was filed yesterday by
Thomas II. G. Cich;on, cashier of the
treasury, and G, J. Rogers, Jr.. chief of
accounts of the auditor general, who are
counsel, they gave n ,tice of intention to
apply for a supersedeas this afternoon.
The attorney generals department an
nounced last night that it would combat
that move because it would continue the
holdup of road repairs by depriving the
highway department of the money paid
by automobile owners and intended by
the legislature to be spent in main
tenance.

The ruling Of Attorney General Lyn-
don A. Smith that the reading of the
Bible in the Public Schools is uncon-
stitutional is in conformity with sim
liar rulings by various Attorney Gen.
erals throughout the country.
Some weeks since there was consid.
cradle discussion relative to the intro
duction of the Bible in the Public
Schools of Minneapolis, about the
same time the High School Board of
the State laid down some hard and
fast rules against the plan of permit
ting any person, wearing a religious
garb, to give instruction to Public
School children or permitting the ex-
change of teachers for purposes of
religious instruction. These rules are
based upon the idea that the public
school is purely secular in it's nature,
and that religious training must come
from other sources. 1t is impossible
under such circumstances to under
take the introduction of the Bible in
the Public Schools, since religion can
not be taught, or referred to as an
abstract matter. The worship of God
is religious act and the Bible can
not be disassociated from religious
thought.

The late decision of the Rome Trib-
unal regarding the Could Castellaine
divorce proceedings has provoked
much comment on all sides regarding
the effect of such decisions in the fu-
ture in matters of the same nature.
The point urged in connection with
the annulment of the marriage was
the mental reservation of Miss Gould
before the wedding when she stated
as witnesses testify that she was not
contracting relation nor did she in
tend to contract a marriage relation
that would forever bind her, as she
would feel free to obtain divorce If
she wished even though she was mar
ried according to the rites of the
Catholic church. Altogether the affair
has caused much discussion and is
very little understood although it has
been discussed and generally known
since the trouble began. The outcome
is likely to result in more stringent
rules being promulgated to govern
marriages between Catholics and non
Catholics where the parties are citi-
zens of different countries.

when in contact with those about
them. Viewed in this light, the final
influence of the endowment is limit
less. The Catholic Church and the
Catholic fathers and mothers have
much to gain as the favored sons of
each community will, as the years go
by, return to stimulate, mentally and
morally, the young minds of their
younger associates. We shall in the
future speak Of the graduates of the
Catholic University as we are now &C.
customed to speak of the graduates
of the great colleges of Europe.
Religion will gain much from this
endowment and will be aided
and advanced in country that
needs it sorely, and in an insti-
tuition where the instructors will not
be called upon to subscribe to perni-
cious doctrines, economics or moral
false Gods, and where the students
will be taught to "Seek first the King
dom of God and all else will be given

cHuRcH's ATTITUDE PRAISED.

Ex-senator Foraker, in speech be-
fore the Clearing House Association
of Hamilton, Ohio, on December II,
took occasion to denounce, in the
strongest terms, the economic vaga-
ries and rank immortality of social
ism. Quoting from the writings of
socialistic leaders, he demonstrated
with unanswerable logic whittier the
principles of this economic, social and
moral heresy would lead the people.
In the course of his remarks he
paid the following tribute to the Cath
olic Church:
although it is no wonder that it
should do so, yet it should be cause
of congratulation with all loyal and
patriotic Americans that the Roman
Catholic Church, recognizing the dis
loyalty to both Church and State and
the exceeding wickedness of a move.
ment that would overthrow and de-
stroy civilization itself, should have
solidly arrayed itself against it; it is,
however, matter of wonderment that
every other church Of every denomi-
nation has not done the same. 1t can
not be possible that the disloyal, un-
patriotic, un-American purposes of
this new political movement can be
understood"

Revival In France.

AS to Catholic revival in France.
there is noteworthy Protestant testi-
mony QUOTED by the Tablet) from q
recent sermon in Westminster Abbey
by the Headmaster of Eton (the ia
nous English high school) in which
the preacher said that if it (the re-
vivaD continued it might claim to be
"the most momentous event in Eu-
rope for at least a century. After a
period of cynicism and despair and
decline of discipline, the educated peo-
pie of France are now (the preacher
continued) giving themselves over to
the Roman Catholic church. There
are thousands of the best educated
young men who are earnest Catholics
now, whereas in the eighties, one
could scarcely be found in Paris, and
these young men are devoting them
selves to the kind of action which they
believe to be required for the welfare
of their country"
And that necessarily means the well
fare of their religion. What is good
for country is good for creed. The
interests of Faith and Fatherland.

John Lind came to Pass Christian,
Mississippi, perhaps to explain to Will
son why Huerta did not mind him
when he was sent down to inform the
Mexican president that he was to be-
have. In the meantime some of the
Catholics are wondering how Mrs
Lind could have discovered so many
disagreeable and Immoral things about
Mexican men and women in so short
a time and wonder If this American
lady is not making a grave mistake by
submitting to interviews and giving
out such harmful reports about a
people whose government is the object
of friendly mission on the part Of
her husband and whose mission Is one
of peace. If John Lind is to succeed
in his mission, he had better give
someone within the household friend
ly Tip" Meanwhile the morals of
Catholic Mexicans will require some
thing more substantial for denunci-
alton than newspaper interviews.

THE SCHMIDT VERDICT.

The details connected with the YER
dict of Hans Schmidt, who was tried
in New York for the murder of Anna
Aumuller, were given to the public
last week.
The jury disagreed after being out
thirty-four hours and during practic.
ally all Of the time the members
stood ten for conviction and two for
acquital, on the ground of insanity.
The ten who stood for conviction
were willing to acquit on the ground
of insanity, but gave as their reasons
for not doing SO, their fear that
Schmidt might be sent to the Mattea-
wan and finally get out of the asylum
like Harry X. Thaw. In view Of this
TACT, they voted to render a verdict
'f guilty. All the members of the
Jury were willing to render verdict
;onvicting Schmidt of murder, on the
understanding that he would not be

THE X. OF c, ENDOWMENT,

The Catholic heart is susceptible OF
large inspiration. This was magnif-
Gently shown last week when $50O,00
was presented by the knights of Col
umbus to the Catholic University, in
answer to an appeal made by Popes
Leo XIII. and Plus X.
This money came from three hun.
dred thousand men, from members of
the Knights Of Columbus, drawn from
the rank and file of Catholicity.
1t is significant in showing how the
Catholic mind so easily grasps broad
and humane considerations for pub.
lie good. The foundation Of fifty
graduate scholarships for young men,
anxious to equip themselves for higher
duties, under the guidance of the in.

of Catholic educational influence in

from all sections Of the country will
have most beneficial influence upon
he communities from which they
come. and will reflect their training

LARkIN COMING TO U. s.

Larkin of Dublin strike fame and no
toriety, has the ambition to come to
America in the interests, he says, of
raising money for the strike sufferers
in Dublin. Larkin, it will be remem.
bered, has attempted to block every
suggestion made for proposed set
tlement of the difficulties. The la.
borers in Dublin have as much right
to strike as laborers anywhere else in
the world If their condition is so ag-
gravated that it warrants severe and
heroic measures to bring about a
change. But no situation warrants
the presence of Larkin, as a leader.
He has proven himself a professional
agitator wholly devoid of any concep-
tion of leadership such as would en-.
able him to gain for his followers
terms of advantage, and he is further
unable to present policy that will
tend toward the making of permanent
peaceful relations which would allow
matters to be referred to body of
citizens for arbitration. Larkin wanted
to be arrested and he was. A few
days in jail he considered was suffi-
cient to make a hero of himself, and
now he considers that he is entitled
to hearing in the councils of labor
This has been the history of every
cheap agitator and disturber that ever
stood on a soap box hanging the
rabble. This blathering self-appointed
spokesman from Dublin who wants to
enter America to have himself cata-
logued with the Emma Goldman,
Mother Jones, Carrie Nation crowd
had better erect a hall of fame for
himself. In the meantime his disloy-
atty is proven when he is sapping en-
ergy and directing attention from
Home Rule.
