Visitors to the Journal office last eve
ming bore evidence of the rapidly with
which a rumor can travel, by their in
quiry concerning the truth or falsity of
challenge having been issued to any
two members of the Y. NJ. c. A. who
would feel disposed to participate in a
bowling match for tht best two out of
three strings.
Having accepted an item of the nature
mentioned, the staff was in a position to
affirm the proposition which was troub-
ling the visitors minds
The rebuttal of the gentlemen was
strong and to the effect that the chal-
lengers might be informed of the readi-
ness and ability with which their offer
would be accepted by Messrs. Thompson
and Curtis.

And it means more than that; it means that
the Catholics of the world love the Church more
than anything else, that the CATHOLICS OF
THE WORLD LOVE THE CHURCH MORE

MORE THAN THEY Do THEIR OWN NATION
more than they do their own people, more than
they do their own fortunes, more than they do
their own selves.
eve OF the Catholic Church are ready to go to-
the death for the Church Under God, she is the
supreme object of worship. Tell us that we
think more of the Church than we do of the
United States: Of course we do. Tell
Catholics first and Americans Englishmen
afterward; of course are"
Tell US, in the conflict between the Church
and the civil government We take the side of the
Church, Of course do. Why, if the govern
ment Of the United States were at with the
Church we would say tomorrow, TO HE'LL WITH
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES;
and it the Church and all the governments of the
world were at would say TO HE'LL
WITH ALL THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE
WORLD.
They say we are Catholics first and Americans
decidedly afterward. There is no doubt about it.
We are Catholics first and we love the Church
more than we love any and all the governments
of the world.
Let the governments of the world steer clear
Of the Catholic Church; let the emperors let the
kings, and the presidents not come into conflict
with the head of the Catholic Church Because
the Catholic Church is everything to all the
Catholics Of the world they renounce all nation

Did Glennon find fault with this sermon?
No.
Phelan was in full accord with his so-called

He was in full accord with it, when he
preached that sermon.
Hence Archbishop Glennon had no rebuke
to administer. Had Glennon or Gibbons cen
sured Phelan, Joe Sarto the Pope, would
have censured them.
But when Phelan said that the taaogo dance
was innocent, Rome launched her thunders at
him. The italian of the Tiber waxed wroth
with the Irishman of the Mississippi.
Why? Because Sarto has been convinced
that the Tango dance is far worse than the
lewd questions which priests ask Catholic

The Pope Reads and Approves
the WafchEnan Sermons.

IN circular letter begging for subscriptions,
D. S. Phelan uses d letter from the Papa
which fully bears out the Headline.
But that was before Phean preached on
the Tango dance. Alas that sermon was his
uHdoing
The girls all gladsomed over this sermon,
and they danced the Tango with more dips
and squir1ns than ever: but Papa Sarto did
not like that sermon bit.
he is rheumatic old chap; is Papa, and
his Tango days passed long ago. Conse-
quently, as he can't throw his legs over his
head, and dip until he wipes the floor with
his dirpcr, he doesn't want anybody else to
do it.
That's human nature You let judge who
has sowcd wild oats by the sack get On the
bench, and he's a regular terror to young
chaps who drink liquor and frolic with the
wild oat girls.
So, Phelan has come to grief. You can
read about it in another column.
phcIan's next book Of sermons will not he
welcome at Saint Peters, unless he changes
his mind about the Tango.
But he will change his mind. Whenever
that old Italian in Rome cracks his whip over
the heads Of Irshmen in America, those Irish
men so to eating dirt light away.
Then, again, priest Phelan preached what
be called q sermon in which he declared in
substance, that if our Government clashed
with Papa's church ito hell with the Gov
ernment!"
He not only preached the sermon, but pub
lished it in his paper, aohacA has the official

Lest I be accused of misrepresentation, [
quote Father PheIan's own words:
And why is it that the Church is strong; why
is it everybody is afraid Of the Catholic Church?
And the American people afraid of her

afraid of the Catholic Church? They know what
the Catholic Church means 1t means all the
Catholics of the world not of one country, or
two countries but all the countries of the world.
