Americas Better Part.

1t is an interesting symposium which
| Eyerybody's Magazine presents in its
New Year number, the answer of more
than a score of British writers to ques-
| tions concerning the relation of America
TO the European war. The essence of the
four queries submitted may be thus ex-
pressed; Should America remain neu-
trial, or join the allies On this there
could not be unanimity OF opinion among
our British friends. They generally
agree that the allies are fighting for the
principles OF righteousness and liberty
that are dear to Americans, and that the
war would be shortened il America were
10 enter il; but they differ as 20 whether
she ought TO keep out OF it or come in,
and some of them courteously remark

Ex-President Taft's idea Of two years
of compulsory military training in all
mems colleges is not bad as far as it
goes; but one fault to be found with il
is that the United States cannot look
entirely TO its college graduates to be
the nations defenders. Indeed, the
United States would make sorry show
ing II dependent for its volunteer army
wholly upon men who have attended
college, because the number OF college
men Of eligible army age at any given
time would be relatively small. How

might be devoted TO instruction which

Ing us how the Spanish prelateS Wept, when
they heard that the German soldiers had
"profaned" the Host in Belgium, by break
ing the waters, and feeding them to their
horses.
Yet the Pope, the Sarbonne at Paris and
the most eminent Catholic theologians Of
fered to renoaaace this doctrine, and return
to the old creed which had lasted for 1918
years
At the time the 'infallible" Plus ". made
his offer to Queen Elizabeth the new creed
as to the bread and wine had not reached half
the age of the old.
And if the Protestants of England had
been willing to again bear the yoke of Rome,
all this monstrous pretenson Of creating God
out of pancakes would never have come down
to the twentieth century.
For more than 1900 years, the bishops Of
Rome, and the Roman Catholics gave both
the bread, and the wine to the laity and the
non officiating clergy, just as the Protest
ants do
The Fathers of the Church-Ignatius,
Justin, Chrysostom, and Jerome-taught the
Communion, as Christ illustrated it, by Civ
ing bread and wine to ALL
Jerome said, "The priests who administer
the communion, divide the Lords blood
among the people"
Ignatius said, Zone bread is broken and
one cup distributed to ALL"
Justin said, "The deacons give to every
one present, to partake of, the blessed bread
and Wine"
Chrysostom said Zone body and one cup
is presented to all'
Waldensians, HISTORIANS Armenians, Bap-
lists, Methodists, Presbyterians Episcopal
hans Christians, and Adventists could all
subscribe to that doctrine.
The Manlcheans were the first to refuse to
partake of the wine and they refused it, be-
case they considered all kinds of wine to be,
"the gall Of the Dragon"
Pope Leo, in 443. commanded that all
Manicheans who continued to refuse the cup,
be accommodated!
Manichean heresy, and forbade the separa-
ton of the communion This ''infallible"
Pope declared that ''the division Of one and
the same mystery could not be effected with
out sacrilege"
Pope Urban, in 1895, officially decreed
that mo person, except in cases Of necessity,
is to communicate at the altar, but must par
take separately of the bread and wine"
Pope Pascal in 1118, decreed as follows
"Our Lord himself dispensed the bread and
wine, each by itself; and this usage we teach,
and c0nlnaand the Holy Church to ozacayS OBJ
Serre"
Why were the DEGREES of these Popes set
aside? Why did the priests of the thirteenth
century begin to introduce the Manichean
heresy, and make it orth0dop?
For 1920 years, the Roman Catholics fol-
lowed the example of Christ in celebrating
the Lords Supper: for 700 years, they have
been practising the Manichean heresy which
numerous Popes condemned. How, them can
conscientious and intelligent Catholic feel
certain about this comparative novelty of re-
fusing wine to the congregation?

Now, as you will see. this disinterested,

On Monday morning, April 28th, Frank
made statement before n A. Lanford, Chief
of Detectives, in which he said, that Mary
Phagan ''came in between IL o5 and 1910,
maybe II :07, to get her pay. I paid her, and
she went out OF the office / was in the inner

According to this statement, taken dorm en-

trapped himself.
: Fate wi1led that he should not only place
himself in his office at the time Monteen
vainly looked for him there, but Fate also
willed that he should fix the time of Mary's
visit, inside the very five minutes that Mon
teen could expose his guilty falsehood.
