deyout men to the several nations named.
Next, we are told in the text that these
devout men acted in such an unusual manner
that Jewish scoffers accused them of being

But Peters reply was convincing: Peter
said, in effect, that it was too early in the day
for intoxication.
Then follows the baptism of the 5000,
which concusively proves that the preaching
had been III the open air, near one of the
pools.
Verse 46 tells us
"And continuing daily with one accord ia
the temple, and breaking bread from house
to house, they took their meat with gladness
and simplicity of heart"
L call your attention to the fact that this
official Catholic translation does not contain
the remotest resemblance to the Romanist
practices of today.
Apparently these converts to Christ con-
tlnued to attend the ceremonial of the Jewish
temple, as Christ did

A church which thinkers on its creed for 1870

Bully for Miss Jane.
And if Bostonians find this Tea-partv too
much of good thing, then Boston must
philosophise.
Miss Jane was. and is. one of the employees
of the NIedfed State Hospital. and she
quickly initiated Old Dan Tucker who fell in
the fire and kicked up a chunk
[ do not mean to insinuate that Miss Jane
initiated Old Dan in first getting drunk. but
she kicked up the chunk all the same.

The white Bostonians in the Hospital set
separate table for Miss Jane. and gave her
a room, all to her modest self. in the gar
deners cottage-the gardeners family most
probably being also descended from old
brother Ham.
Need you to be told that the feelings of
Miss Jane Weer narrowed and her very soul
tossed by painful emotions, when she realized
that those uppety white folks of Massachu-
sets did not wish to break bread, and eat
soup, and divide the saltcellar with her?
And then to be placed, for sweet sleep and
pleasant dreams, IN the gardeners cottage!
Miss Jane is little, but she's loud: and the
noise, the racket, the confusion in the furni-
tllre, that her natural indignation brought
about, is almost beyond belief

The First Catholic Church.

following question and answer:
When and where the first Catholic church
built?
1t was the upper chamber in house in Jeru-
salem, where st. Peter and the others were hiding
for fear Of the Jews 1t was here that Peter
said his first mass, and Mary received her first
holy communion.
1t is generally known that ''the Douay
Bible" is the official Book of the Roman Cath
ollcs, translation into English of the Latin
Vulgate, which itself was the work of Jerome
who made so many departures from the orig
inal manuscripts that his Bible was in dis
favor at Rome for many years.
1t IS not generally known that in front Of
the text of the Douay Bible there is a stern
Adnaonition, addressed to Catholics, warning
them not to read the Book, un1ess the priest
consents, and directs the reading.
The natural consequence is, that a Roman
list editor, who is almost always priest, can
say anything he pleases about the contents of
the Bible, and his readers won't know whether
he is telling the truth or not
In answering the question about the first
Catholic church, the editor of the Denver
Reglster misquoted the Scri ptures.
There isn't word in the Bible about any
body saying mass at any time nor does
the Bible say when Mary took her first com
munlon-any more than it tells where the
"Queen of Heaven" lived after the Cruel
fxion, nor how long she lived, nor what be-
came Of her spouse Joseph, nor where she died
To avoid quibbling and evasion on the part
Of the editor Of the Register, [ will use the
Douay translation of the Latin Vulgate
The passages relied on by the Register are
to be found in the first and second chapters
of the Acts.
No G,,cA oI,o loo
the upper chamber and states that Mary was
present, together with her surviving children,
who according to modern Mary Worshippers
were Christ's cousins, and not CHS brethren"
as the Testament positively asserts.
The second chapter contains short speech
by Peter, who was in no way abashed by any
remembrance of his cowardce and denials of
Christ, when Christ was under arrest.
After mentioning the baptism of 5000 souls,
comes this statement in Verse ~:
"And they were persevering in the doctrine
of the apostles and in the communication of
the breaking of bread, and in prayers"
In this second chapter, where the apostles
are at different place, at later day, not
one word is said of Mary, and to assert that
she partook of the communion bread is moth
ing more than surmise.
Bear in mind that Peter and the other
disciples were "all together in one place"
apparently not the same upper chamber, else
the text would have indicated the fact) when
a mighty wind arose, and a great multitude
assembled (outside the house, necessarily
''depout men out of erery nation under
he0ren."
This text has always been puzzle to me-
for at that time the scraggy little nook of
earth, called Judea, Palestine the Holy Land,
&c, was unknown to Europe, unknown to
Asia, unknown to Oceanica, unknown to
America, and not widely known even in
Africa.
