These Canons are amply corroborated by the
following paragraphs from the Syllabus Of Plus IN
issued Dee Sh, 1864, and subsequently by the Decree
Of Inallbiity confirmed as truths eternal and eqnal
IN authority with the Decalogue viz:
"The state has not the right to leave every man
free to profess and embrace whatever religion he
shall deem true.
ut has not the right to enact that the ecclesias-
teal powers shall require the permission of the civil
power in order to the exercise Of its authority.
at has not the right to treat as an excess Of
power, usurping the rights of princes anything
that the Roman PontiIs Ecumenical Councils have
done.
cit has not the right to adopt the conclus ,ns
of National Church council unless confirmed by the
pope.
cit has not the right of establishing National
Church separate from the pope.
1T has not the right to the entire direction Of
public schools.
at has not the right to assist subjects who wish
to abandon monasteries or converts"
Then in the same Syllabus the rights and powers
Of the church are affirmed, thus, viz.
"She has the right TO require the State not to
leave every man free TO profess his own religion.
"She has the right to exercise her power without
the permission or consent Of the state.
"She has the right to prevent the foundation Of
any National Church not subject to the authority of
the Roman Pontifr.
"She has the right to deprive the civil authority
Of the entire government Of public schools.
'She has the right of perpetuating the union
Of Church and State.
"She has the right to require that the Catholic
religion shall be the only religion of the state to the
exclusion Of all others.
"She has the right to prevent the state from
granting the public exercise of their own worship
to persons immigrating into it.
- "She has the power of requiring the state not
to permit free expression Of opinion"

Pope to PRAY for Peace

Rome (via Paris), Dec. 24.-Pope
Benedict today in replying to the Christ
mas address and greetings extended on
behalf Of the Sacred College by Cardinal
Vannutelli, feelingly alluded TO, the "ter-
rible war in Europe and spoke Of
the immense carnage and cruelty as un.
precedented in history. The pontiff
again expressed an ardent desire for
peace and said that, in conformity with
the wishes Of many of the faithful, lhe
had consented TO make an addition TO
the words of Queen Of Peace, Pray

expressed the hope that the virgins in.
tercession with God would soon bring

lust an Ordinary Lie

For some unaeeountable reason the
daily newspapers OF North Carolina, a
few days ago, took occasion TO print
a story to the effect that THE-MENACE
had purchased the Yellop jacket, a BIZ
weekly paper published at Moravian
Falls, n. e.
Just how Such a report was expected
TO hurt either the YeIIOW Jacket OF THE
MENACE, or both, is not clear TO the
writer, but evidently there was some
malicious motive back Of the story since
there is not word of truth in il.
We presume that the "Tar Heel"
sheets were hard up for news and con
sidered that anything concerning THE
MENACE or the YelloW Jacket, whether
true or false, would be the livest topic
they could possibly find just now.

We have entertained callers from Eng

cog wheels and steel cylinders Of the

Of MENAcEs pouring from the presses
at the rate Of $4,000 per hour.
Visiting the upper floors they viewed
the same evidence Of hustle and hustle.
They tarried for a time at the electric
mailing machines where the addresses
were printed on labels and wrappers
faster than they could count. -Four Of
these machines were turning out labels
that would carry THE MENACE into al,
most every city and hamlet in the United
States and Il, . score Of foreign eoun-

They viewed with amazement the pile
Of one hundred thousand books we regu-
larry carry in stock; they saw the great
paper cutters plowing their way through
piles Of paper not unlike a monster

ten-foot snow drift
All this they saw, and more. They
tarried q while at the U. 8. postoffice
