he inadvertently fell in love with Catholic
girl of Atlanta.
There was priest in Atlanta, at the time,
and he sided around and pussy footed about,
under the name of "Father' Gunn
1t so happened that The Jetfersonan was
then becoming very much of an obstacle to
further Romanist encroachments in the South;
and the Holy Father very much desired Il
copy of our mailing list.
So it came to pass, that Father Gum
gently intimated to the aforesaid Catholic
maiden that she should serve the Holy Church
by persuading her printer beau to procure
copy of said mailing list, in order that she
should pass it along to Father Gunn-to be
used in circulating anti-dote to The Jeffer-
sonian, to the glory of ''the Virgin Mary"
The printer passed the news on to me, and
[ feel sure that he did not take a copy of
the mailing list.
Is Bishop Gum, who lately preached
plausible patriotism at st. Mary's Cathedral,
in Natchez, the same man who used to be
"Father" Gum of Atlanta-the virtuous
patriot who tempted an innocent girl to do
what would have been equivalent to persuad-
ing her sweetheart to betray his employers?
1t seems to me that the name is the same,
but two priests may be wearing it, so far as [
know.
The gist Of Bishop Gums patriotic sermon
is contained In the following paragraphs
But let us come little nearer home and see
what the Catholic church has done for Anglo
Saxon liberty which is today practically all the
liberty have. How in what does civil
liberty consist.
1st-That each mans house is his castle
2nd-That be imprisoned except
by due process of law.
3rd-NO representation, taxation.
4th-Trial by jury.
5th-Fixed courts and 9Th habeas corpus
These six propositions contain substantially the
sum of all we mean by civil liberty and they
constitute the basis of all constitutions
State National Now who gave US these six
propositions? Protestants? No; they existed be-
fore any protests were coined into religion.
Puritans? No; read the relentless laws of Cotton
Mather, the blue laws, etc, Americans! No; not
of these three Who, then gave them?
Would you believe it? Would you even suspect it?
Every one of these if gift pure and simple from
Catholics. You have all heard of the great Magma
Charta, Now the Magma Charta contains sub
stantially the first six propositions But the
Magma Charta was created by Catholics, main
tanned by Catholics, fought for by Catholics,
bishops and people before the Reformation, long
before the date of the famous professors of Wit
tenburgh. The Magma Charta is today the law
of England and the basis of all law in the
United States. There has not been a single ele-
ment of liberty added to it since the Reformation.
Therefore, all the liberty enjoy we inherit from
the Catholics who fought, bed and died to give
the Magma Charta.
You would have to be very poorly posted,
indeed, if you accepted those six propositions
as the sum total of your liberties.
You might be enjoying to the fullest ertent

% Each mans house may be his own
castle; and yet, if he be not allowed to place
what books he chooses in his library, read
what papers and magazines he prefers, exer-
else free speech with his neighbor at his
hearthstone, read his Bible for himself and
