as extending his work among the Jews from
eastern Antioch into eastern Babylon, Where
his chosen people were most numerous =
The Catholic construction makes him desert
has post Of duty, abandon his chosen field,
1eaving the greatest number of JeaOs qoitAout
the Gospel, and go on distant mission in the
West where Paul had already established q
church, and where Peter would be not only
wasting his time, 6ut interfering qOith the
somewhat jealous Paul.
There isn't shred of evidence, in the Bible,
or out of it, to prove that Peter ever came to
Rome. On the contrary, the Bible contains
overwhelming testimony against that con-
tention.
Nobody knows when, where and how Peter
died; and the story Of his martyrdom at Rome
IS a later-day fiction.
AS to Peter being a pope, he himself said
he wasn't. Again and again, he said that he
was merely an equal with the other apostles.
In the first verse, of the last chapter of 1st.
Peter, he says definitely
Il exhort the elders among you, I being also
an czder"
Now, if Peter had wanted to disclaim pre-
cedence, priority, primacy, and superior
power, couzd he hare used palmer cords?
In the Gospel itself, Peter wrote-nany,
many years after Christ's crucifxion, II am
nothing bit an elder, like those omaong yoay-
Selres," IN the far scattered churches of the
East
"Neither as being lords over Gods heritage,
but as being examples to the flock"
In other words, Peter placed himself upon
permanent record in Holy Writ, as being an
ecclesiastical officer Of no more po2cer and
dignity than 0ny other elder, IN a3oy other
Christian church.
1t is amazing that sincere man can bring
himself to believe that Peter was a pope, and
the exclusive, infallible ''Iord of Gods herit-
age" when Peter himself says he was one of
the elders-ziho other apostles and other
ezders-and they were not ''lords of Gods
heritage" but were to have good influence by
reason Of their exemplary conduct.
The church Of Christ, as seen en- the Bible,
as the pWreSt, simplest DEMOCRACY.
1t has a simple creed, simple ritual.
simple order of self-government, a simple
ceremonial.
1t IS congregational democracy, devoted to
being good and doing good
There isn't a hint of monarchical popery
in it,
There isn't shadow Of sacerdotaF aristoc-
racy in it.
There isn't the slightest suggestion of
cheapenlng the one great Sacrifice, by daily
"mass," and the infinite repetitions of the
sacrllegious sacrifice of Christ by the priests
All those references to the rock, and the
feeding Of the flock and the handling of the
keys, applied as much to every apostle, as to
nay one of them.
Peter himself writes-1 Peter 5 :2-"Feed
the flock of God"
Peter himself exhorts the younger Chris
tians to obey the elder, ''yea, all be subject to
one another"
If that isn't democracy, Of the most anti
papaI sort, then words are incapable of express
sion.
There is no democracy in popery. The
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-03-11

of it attributed to Peter; for, in the 18th verse
of the last chapter of his first Epistle, he dis
tinctly says "The church that is at Babylon,
elected together with you, saluteth you, and
SO doth Marcus, my son."
1t was as plain statement of Peters where
abouts, as mine would be, were [ to write to a
Baptist church in New York, and conclude
my letter by saying
''The church at Thomson salutes you, and
so does my brother, Rev. DR.. Young"
How do you suppose the Roman priests
dodge that9
They do it by claiming that there was no
such place as Babylon, on the Euphrates, at
that time; and that when Peter used the word
"Babylon," he meant Rome.
In the first place, if Peter was in Rome
when he wrote his letter to the Asiatic
provinces, what was his reason for not saying
"the church that is at Romeo"
Paul addressed his letter to the church at
Rome, using the word Rome" How came
Peter not to sag Rome, if he meant Rome?
If it was the apostolic habit to say one
thing and mean another, we are at sea. If we
can't believe the Bible when it says thing,
what can we believe?
When Paul meant Rome, he said Rome;
but when Peter meant Bone, he said Baby
l0nr
Where would that kind of construction lead
us?
It is not enough for the Romanists to rob
Mary and Joseph Of a fine family of children
the brothers and sisters Of Jesus-but they
must wipe Babylon off the map, and make
Peter an apostle to the Gcntiles, rather than
to the Jews.
No wonder the Daddies of Rome don't want
the common folks to read Scriptures for them
selves
These casuists claim that Peter called Rome
by the name Of Babylon, in the mystical sense
Of Johns Revelations"
But there isn't particle of evidence that
Peter ever heard of Johns Revelations or
that "the strangers" scattered throughout
Babylonia ever did So
When John speaks of Babylon and the old
harlot, every one sees at once that he is speak
ing mystically and iguratively.
He had no particular woman in sight of
him, and he did not necessarily mean the one
city of Rome.
During the half century that the popes lived
in France, at Avignonthe Babylon meant By
John, aras 1Uign10n, not Bone.
At present, Johns harIot and Babylon,
would be New York, or Chicago, Or Los Ange-
les, or Boston, or Baltimore or Philadelphia,
for popery more completely controls and cor
rupts those cities than it does Rome.
But Peter distinctly and literally says, in
effect, that he is writing from and for "the
church that IS at Ba6yzon," and that this
church, at Babylon, sends greeting to the
Jews scattered about those eastern lands in
which Babylon was situated and in which
Peter was working
Here, there is nothing mystical and nothing
fgurative
Suppose Peter had acanted to sag, that
there aoas church at Babylon, what other
words could he have used?
The Catholic construction makes it impos-
Sible for Peter to SAY that there was such q

WAS PETER A POPE AT ROME !?
Daddy N0ll OF tFae Sunday
Visitor Tells Some
WhOpperS.

Of the American papers that are trying to
C0nVrrt this country to candle prancing and
pope worship.
Judging from the way he ibs about sacred
things, l would take Daddy John to be a
Jesuit--like Tumulty and Gibbons.
The following question and answer appear
IN his latest issue, the question being in
Italics
Please gioo the gear and the names of the
cardinals ocho elected the first pope
BY the term pope we understand today the
head of the Roman Catholic Church. 1t sig
nifes "father" or "bishop." The bishop of
Rome is regarded as the father or head of
Chrlstendom The first head of the Church,
st. Peter, was appointed by Christ Himself,
when He said Changing his name from ST.
mon to Peter) Chou art rock, and upon
this rock I will build My Church." Matt. Is,
1919; Feed my lambs, feed my Sheep"
(John 21) "and [ will give to thee the keys
of the kingdom of heaven" Matt 16).
ST. Peter is called the first Bishop of Rome,
because he transferred his See from Antioch
to Rome, where he suffered martyrdom with
st. Paul, and from which place he addressed
his first epste.
Whatever privileges were conferred on Pc
ter, which may be considered essential to the
the Bishops Of Rome, as successors of the
Prince of the Apostles; just as the constitu-
tional powers given to George Washington
have been inherited by his successors. It
would mattel little whether the Pope con-
tnued to reside IN Rome, Just as it would
matter little whether the seat of our govern
ment continued to be in the city of Washing
ton
The Sunday Visitor claims to have $4,000
subscribers; and therefore it is probable that
at least million Catholics will read and be-
hevc the falsehOOds contained in that answer
Let me briefly expose those falsehoods:
Peters first epistle carries on its face the
evidence that it was written tn Babylon, on
the Euphrate,s and was addressed to the scat
tered Jews Of the ersianAssyrian provinces.
You do not have to take anybody's word for
this: you can open your Bible at l Peter,
chapterI. and read the first verse.
In that verse, Peter not only does not call
himself pope, or a chief apostle, or a Prince,
but describes himself as one of the apostles
can apostle of Jesus Christ'') and addresses
his letter to "the strangers scattered through
out Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and
Bithynia'
Those provinces were thousands of miles
from Rome, In a different part of the world,
altogether.
Who were these strangers that we're
scattered throughout those Eastern lands?
They acere the Jer8, descended from the
Jews of the captivity.
Only about $4,000 Jews ever returned to
Palestine from the Babylonian exile; and, in
the time of Christ and Peter there were more
Jews in valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates
than there were anywhere else on earth.
All the historians agree on that, and [ could
cite you to dozen standard authorities.
Now Peters mission was to the JeCS; and
after his work at Antioch he dropped down

Allowed As Minutes

The submarine commander, it is
further asserted, allowed the Ancona' IS
passengers and crew a. minutes TO
abandon ship after which the vessel
was torpedoed, sinking three quarters
Of an hour later. The report that tho

MED.
The statement issued by the Austro-
Hungarian admiralty after declaring
that the foreign press had spread false
rumors regarding the Ancona incident
says the sinking took place as fol-
lows:
The submarine fired one shot in
front Of the Anconas prov. where
upon the steamer fled at full speed
IN accordance with the order issued by
the Italian authorities, which instructs
ship commanders to flee or to sink the
submarine. The submarine pursued the
steamer and continued firing, but the
vessel stopped only after being hit
several times.
The submarine allowed 45 minutes
for the passengers and crew to aban-
don the steamer on board of which
panic reigned but only small num-
Der of boats were lowered and these
were occupied principally by the
crew
After period of so minutes and,
as another steamer was approaching

doed the Ancona. which sank after an
additional As minutes.
IF any of the passengers lost their
h
crew because the steamer tried to es-
cape after it had received orders to
stop and then the crew saved only
themselves and not the passengers.
