are found among those hostile to the
church.
1.-THE divine mission which the
church fulfills among men and which
she must fulfill by means of men,
cannot be obscured by the human, at
times all too human, which at certain
times grows as a cookie amidst the
wheat of the kingdom of God.
Those who know the word of the
Saviour in regard to scandal and
those who give scandal know how
the church and each individual should
be the judge of that which is sinful.
But those who, basing their judg-
ment upon those lamentable differ
ences between faith and living, be-
tween word and action, between ex-
ternal conduct and internal conviction
of some-even if there were many
forget or knowingly pass over in
silence the immense capital of gen.
uine effort toward virtue, the spirit
of sacrifice, fraternal charity and
heroic sanctity in so many members
OF the church, show evidence of in
justice which is blind and blame
worthy"
The Pope sends to the religious Of
Germany, men and women, an ex-
preston of gratitude which is Joined
with intimate understanding and
sympathy, because, as a consequence
OF measures against religious orders
and congregations many of them have
been torn away from field of activity
blessed and dear to them.
IF certain ones have been found
wanting and have shown themselves
unworthy of their vocation, their
faults, condemned also by the church,
do not diminish the very great merit
of those who, with the most disin-
terested and involuntary poverty, have
served with complete dedication their
God and their people"
Deplores Opposition.
Paternal eXhortations
After other doctrinal explanations.
the holy father deplores the opposi-
ton IN Germany to confessional
schools of Christian education and
obstacles which have been placed in
the way OF liberty and the right of
parents in regard to the education of
their children.
The holy father shares with all his
soul the sorroWful condition in which
good and faithful German Catholics
live
With pressure yelled and open,
with intimidation aF
economic, professional, civil and other
advantages, the attachment of Cath
ollcS, especially of certain classes of
Catholic government employees, to
faith is exposed to violence as illegal
as 1t is inhuman.
With paternal emotion, we feel and
suffer profoundly with those who have
paid such great price for their at
tachment to Christ and to the church;
but the point has now been reached
Where there is a question of the final
ana highest end, Of salvation or of
perdltion, and therefore the only way
to salvation for the believer is that of
generous heroism"
Finally, the Pope addresses his af-
Iectlonate appeal to young people, to
the clergy, securlar and religious, and
to the faithful of the laity, particularly
to the millions in the ranks of Catholic
action.
In expressing the hope and desire
that erring children and prosecutors
OF today recognize their errors and that
there may soon sound for them an hour
OF repentance, he affirms that hasten
ing Of that hour is the object of our
unceasing prayers"
The encyclical concluded with the
apostolic benediction.

the holy see has not sacrosanct, un-
touchable and eternal value"
The holy fathers letter, read Sun
day to astonished church-goers,
brought into the open the Nazi-church
conflict which the 1888 concordat,
dealing principally with Catholic re-
ligiouS education rights, sought to
pacify
The Reich would be fully justified
said the newspaper, in invoking the
"Clausula rebus sic stantibus," a
phrase of international law interpreted
generally to mean an agreement re-
mains valid only so long as conditions
at its establishment remain the same
Without mentioning the Pope'S
communication, the paper attacked
the practice Of issuing letters which
1t said we're used to criticize the
Reich abroad and bring disunion at
. home.
If the preamble of the cOnCOrdat
speaks of permanent regulation of re-
1ationS between the state and the
church, it can never mean a period
so long that 1t endangers the very
existence of the state and peace at
home and abroad" said the news
paper.
DR.. Alfred Rosenberg, leader of the
neO-pagan movement, is the editor.
Catholic circles said the papal COM
munication, dated March IA from the
Vatican, was equivalent to an encycli-
cal because of its content and general
appeal.
Pope Blames Germany.
Pope Plus declared in his letter he
signed the concordat despite grave
misgivingS, because We believed it to
be in the best interests Of the church
and the German people
IF its terms were not kept that is
not the fault of the church. The
other side made unfair interpreta-
ton Of the concordat, evaded its pro-
visions, undermined its contents and
finally more or less openly violated
Its stipulations," said the Pope
Full rights to continue religious in
struction Of Catholic youth were
promised the church in the concordat.
while civic education was delegated
to the state, which pledged uniform
education laws. In return for the
guarantee of education rights, the
church agreed to ban political pro-
nouncements by Catholic churchmen,
and sanctioned dissolution of the
Catholic Center party.
The pastoral letter declared elections
on abandonment of parochial schools
In Germany were not fair because they
were not secret and reiterated the
church never would agree to schools
in which religious teachers are not
free and in which the spirit of teach
ing in other branches is anti Christian.

POPE WARNS REICH.
Says Attempts to Replace God Is
"SenSeleSs Prophet of Absurdity."

VATICAN CITY, March % (P).-
Pope Plus, in reference interpreted
at the Vatican as directed "unmistak-
ably at Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler,
warned the Third Reich today that
any one who attempts to replace God
as the supreme religious being should
be regarded as "a senseleSS prophet of
sbsurdity"
In the second encyclical message in
a week, which was read yesterday in
all German Catholic churches, the
holy father said bluntly:
The point has now been reached
where there is a question of the final
and highest end, of salvation or of
perdition"
He charged the 1888 concordat be-
tween the Vatican and the Berlin gov
ernment-in which the separate rights
of church and state were set forth
has been destroyed and rendered in
trinsically valueless."
He placed direct blame for deStruc-
ton of the agreement on the govern
ment, asserting, I'VE have done every
thing to defend the sanctity of the
solemnly plighted word"
At the same ime, he expressed hope
the conflicting interests of Nazidom
and the church may be restored to
true peace
His declaration denounced the open
fight against confessional schools and
the suppression of liberty of choice
for those who have a right to Catholic
education
Charges Persecution.
Although expressing his "paternal
sorrow" over the church and state
conflict, the Pontiff militantly charged
that Catholics were being prosecuted
with pressure yelled and open and
with intimidations which promise pro-
fessional, economic, civil and other
advantages"
Calling for a return of basic the
ology, the Pope declared any one dar-
ing to place a simple mortal beside or
above Christ is "a senseless prophet
OF abSurdities"
The issuance of the encyclical epistle
became known here for the first time
today when the Vatican secretariat of
state issued a 1,500-word summary of
the document which had at first been
described as an apostolic letter.
Official sources said the Holy Fa-
theirs letter constituted an offer of
collaboration to end strife over the
intricate question of church and state
conflict.

BILL REPORTED
Favorable House Action on
Inspection Measure
Is Indicated

RALEIGH, Mar. l5.--(UP)
Legislative storm clouds gather
cd over the North Carolina
house Of Representatives today
as the Hatch bill to prohibit
false and malicious statements
ian abridgement of the free
dom of the press"-became the
focal point Of what may be the
last week of the 1887 session of
the general assembly.
RALEIGH. March ia IA
vorable report has been given
Representative Burgin's bill pro-
viding for plumbing inspection in
Henderson county by the senate
calendar committee. The bill has
already been passed by the house.
The measure requires inspec-
ton and approval 'of plumbing
and heating contract work done
in the county under the same reg
ulations applying to the city OF
Hcndersonville.
A bill, introduced by Rcprcsen-
tativc Kinney, of Transylvania,
and allowing fishing without IL
ccnsc in the French Broad river
from the BOSNIAN bridge to the
Henderson county line, has been
referred to the senate calendar
committee.
The bill was given an unfavor-
able report by the house calendar
committee, but Kinney forced it
to the house and secured passage.
Representative Mcdowell, of
Polk, has blocked bills to provide
for the election Of a tax collector
and to reduce the terms of Polk
county commissioners. The bills
were introduced by his colleague,
Senator Bacon.
The house calendar committee
killed the bills at the request Of
Mcdowell after thew had been
passed by the senate.
The first bill provided for the
election of the tax collector in
1888 and biennially thereafter at
a salary of $1,000. The second
would terminate the term of the
present commissioners in Deem
Der, 1888, and provide for the
election Of three commissioners,
the one receiving the highest
number Of votes to serve for four
years and the others for two
years.
