ORIGIN OF PROTESTANT.

Catholics ought not to be too per-
sistent in censuring non-Catholics
who do not take kindly to the name
Protestant, for the words Catholic"
and "Romanism" have also had their
vicissitudes. The name Protestant"
did not, as some imagine, come in with
the early days of the Reformation in
the sixteenth century. Luther openly
revolted on October 81, 1917, as the
quadricentenary celebration now going
on, plainly indicates, and his followers
for a while were known as Evangeli-
calls, and the followers of Calvin, as
Reformed.
The name Protestant did not appear
until 1929, and it had it's origin in
protest against a portion of decree
which would allow Catholics to attend
Mass. Those who were not willing to
tolerate Catholics and who regarded
such liberation as impious were called
Professionals. In the course of time the
"no-toleration-to-Cat Catholics" note was
largely lost sight of; and the name
Protestant has since been generally
applied to all those Christians in West
Crn Europe who have adopted the re-
ligion of the Reformers in opposition
to that of Rome. With most non-Cath-
olics the name Protestant now merely
serves the purpose to convey the idea
that they are not Catholics. When the
question of using the word Protestant
was first agitated on the Continent,
England was still Catholic, and it's
King, Henry VII, was earning the title
of Defender of the Faith, for his hos
tility to Luther's Innovations but af-
ter the revolt of Henry the word
Protestant came with the refugees in
to England Gradually both the clergy
and laity of the English Church spoke
of their Church as Protestant and we
find the word in use in the various acts
of Parliament passed in the seven
teenth and eighteenth century to pre-
vent Catholics from holding Office. At
present there are numbers in England
who object to the word Protestant,
and it must be rather awkward for
them since the revised royal oath calls
for loyalty to the Protestant Faith.
When the success of the American
Revolution necessitated the establish
ment of Church independent of Brit
ish Bishops the name Protestant Epis-
copal was chosen, but there are mem
bers of the denomination who are dis
posed to think that the name was Sc
lected with little, if any, consideration
for the consequences
From all this it is plain that the
word Protestant, like many other
words, has had history; but until
such time as a new definition has been
decided upon, it seems to us that great
deal Of confusion might be avoided if
the Century Dictionary were adhered
to-. In that painstaking production
Protestant is defined as "a member
or an adherent to one of those Chris
tian bodies which are descended from
the Reformation of the sixteenth CEN
tury" The Christian world is either
Catholic or Protestant, and if Protes-
tants are willing to forget the original
connotation of no liberation for Cath
olics," Catholics will try to avoid re-
minding them of the unworthy origin
of their name.

DANIEL o'coNNELL's LETTER OF
PROTEST.

The following original autograph
letter of Daniel O'Connell, the distin-
guished Irish orator, statesman and
liberator, has recently come into my
possession, writes P. F. Madigan in
the Catholic News. This remarkable
letter is a protest against the "Stabat
Mater" being introduced ON the Irish
stage. The interest of the letter is
considerably augmented by the fact
that it was written by Daniel O'Con-
nell from the prison at Richmond,
BrideWe1l, on the day on which he was
released by the reversal OF judgment
against him.
O'Conne1l was elected member OF
Parliament for the County Clare, but
as Catholic could not take the oaths
required of members. The discussion
came on when matters were reaching
a crisis and the agitation threatened
civil war; O'Connell stood firm, the
Emancipation Bill was passed, and he
took his seat in 1922
Nothing showed the wonderful
powers of the man more than the
facility with which, at the age of fifty
five, he adapted himself to his new
career in Parliament. In 1843 came
the monster meetings." and the in
tended meeting at Clontarf was fixed
for October 8, but on the 18th of that
month OlConnell received notice to
put in bail to appear to an Indictment
for sedition. He was sentenced to pay
a fine of 1900 pounds and be impris-
oned for a year. He was sent to the
Richmond penitentiary, Bridewell, near
Dublin. On September 4, 1874, the
date on which the letter was written,
the House of Lords reversed the judg-
ment against O'Conne1l, and a vast
procession attended him from the
prison to his residence on Merrion
Square, and made his liberation an
enthusiastic triumph.
O'ConnelPs Letter.
Richmond, Bridewell,
4th Sept, 1874.
My dear Sir-I have perceived with
much regret that you have advertised
as part of "a musical and dramatic ex-
hibition the aWfully sublime hymn
Stabat Mater. hope you will readily
believe that nothing could give me
greater pain than to interfere injuri-
ously in your professional speculations,
but feel so reVolted at the idea of
introducing on the Irish stage such
gross PROCLAMATION that would anx-
iously urge upon you the propriety of
not outraging the feelings of the Irish
people by introducing as matter of
amusement what we would most
respectfully reserve for devotional
purposes. You need not tell me that
this sacred hymn has been already
profaned by such usage on the stage in
England and in other countries. I
know 1t has,. but it has not as yet
been done so in Ireland d country of

CONTROL OF ROADS

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-How Federal
control OF 100000 workers employed
on the railroads of the United States
has worked out to the material bene-
Tit of the workers and an increased
efficiency of the railway systems as
affecting the public was told yesterday
by W. S. Carter, director Of the divi-
sion OF labor OF the United States
Railroad Administration, at the Thir-
ty-eighth annual convention of the
Academy Of Political Science in this
city.
lone effect of the Federal control
Of the railroads upon labor" said Mr.
Carter, has been the demonstration
20 them that there are orderly means
by which all differences of opinion be-
tween employees and the railroads may
De eQuitably adjusted.
Almost Immediately after the Gre
alton OF the division OF labor this
work was systematically undertaken
and the principal purpose Of the cre-
alton OF this division was to bring a
kindlier relation between official and
employe.
These relations had become strain
ed under private control. and for this
unhappy situation. neither operating
officials nor employees were entirely
TO blame, In the early days of wage
bargaining, the general manager of
railroad was privileged to grant in
creased wages and improved condi-
tions of employment. when in his
Judgment they were justified. In
those days it was the operating Of
ficials who dictated policya affecting
employees.
In many instances. these policies
were liberal, to the extent that en-
ployes accepted a denial of requests
OF accepted compromises with the be-
lief that the reasons offered by the
operating officials of a railroad. why
requests could not be granted, were
sincere.
Having regard for the fact that
approximately 100000 employees have
been involved. that varying condi-
tions existed on many railroads: that
much Of the work has been created: /:
and that it must take time to solve
such problems, / feel sure progress
has been made with unusual rapidity
in the settlement of most questions"

FIND RIVER OF MUD OF
THICKNESS OF MOLASSES

TORONTO. Dec. S.-what is per-
haps the most wonderful river in the
world, and one which is certainly
unique, has been discovered by Il
party Of prospectors exploring what
is known as the smoky river region
in Northern Alberta, Canada.
Briefly, it is a river of mud-that
is to say, although its course IL well
marked, with banks clearly defined
as in an ordinary river, its bed con-
tains not water. but thick, liquid
mud Of the consistency of molasses
The mud river flows. as does a
water river, but of course. much more
slowly in face. its progress during
the time the party were observing IL
more nearly resembled that Of a
glacier. Unlike a glacier however.
there is no terminal moraine. A
glacier at its foot melts and flows
away, leaving an accumulation Of
rocks, but any heavy masses that
r,ay be in this river Of mud must
settle to the bottom and remain con-
cealed by the mud itself
This mud river debouches on a
plain. spreading out fanlike and
forming a morass of unknown depth
and extent.
