A Lesson it'rom our ITeighbor,,
11') .,,to 1'ru,'stJrian ii ic,van:I Philadelphia
.Journal';
As reit secs of the eltuly press aro
-aware, our noigltbora across the lines
have been celebrating with pomp and
enthuiasm their entrnnee upon the
second century of constitutional
•governntent. The eelebi•utiotl was
field in Philadelphia, the birth -place
of. the Constitution.. and its stain
features consisted of a civic military
pa:t'ade, in which the material pro-
gress made by the Country during
the past hundred years was most suc-
cessfully represented: I'ttblic ad
dresses were also delivered on the
occasion by. eminent tnen in cog
inenaot'ation of the great event, and
to perpetuate ire memory. • The
most elaborate preparations tail
been on foot for over two years, and
the committee in charge worker[
hard and well., atel with great In
•'-.-_Gelligene o. •-" rlie number -ore viettorse
were enorutoms-about half' a mill-
ion; and it is notes] with satisfaction
that good order was everywhere con-
spicuous. 'l'he'receptions to the l're:
sident and ,Mrs. Cleyeland were
very nninerous and ;hearty, and
were the occasions of noteworthy ex-
pressions of love and reverence for
the Constitution. The Cominer•
ative discourse by Justice 'filler, of
the Supt•eine Coutrta of the United
States, delivered in the State House
Square under the shad ..> v of the old
building in which Declaration of In
dependence antlthe'::',tnetitution were
❑amed, albeit devoid of tprettl
eagleism, seeius to have satisfied his
audience as entirely worthy of the
occasion. and there will he few to
quat'i"el with Iiia for regarding the
framing of the 1-uite'.1 `states (;onsti•
ration as t11t' first sucecssrtl atttelupt
in the history of the wrnrl.oi to lay th
deep and loved foundation of at
government for millions of people
end ae unlimited territory in tit
single written iustrumeut ftunted
and reltiptetl in nue groin uatinnal ef-
fort.
But midst these paeans or roj.in
ing, there was airs e::ItibiLien of bad
taste, whi011, portending the neural.)
roach of a struggle that will be no
let s bitter when it comes, is of the
rleoptest into. est to tit cels suns nS
Weil ns the secular world. It is the
of l story of Papal presu.alti'tn and
the humiliation of I'iot••stautisln in
the (louse of its proles •c•1 friends.

gbJectlor was ; oplinly tadtd, though
Preabytelriti e, B$ptlata and tfethu•
diets could not forget that this
Cli.trreh is one of the smaller 'of the
denominations, and that its history
does not give it the right to be se-
lected as the representative of
American Protestantitm, it being .the
least Protestant of all the Protes-
tans Churches, ani only last year
divided into` two hostile camps on a
proposition to remove this distino-
t#ve word from ire title. The place
sof honor assigned to the Roman
Catholic Cliuroh provoked from the
first announcetiient intense indig-
nation, especially in Presbyterian
circles. And the •manner in which
the programme was parried into ef-
fect, and the behaviour of the Roman
Catholic dignitaries at the celebra-
tion and subsequently, has not tend-
ed to allay this natural feeling of
indignation. For, as the Journal
states the matter : -
"Of all the religious denominations
the'Roman Catholic was the only one
that met apart at any time with
special services o1 its own. On
Thursday evening it held a meeting
in glorification of one of the signers
who had happened to belong to it ;
and the opportunity was taken to
put in the claim of special accord
with the American ideas and to
magnify the growth and influence of
that Church., In connection with
this, n special reception to Cardinal
Gibbons was prepared and ate
nounced, though at' the same time
the reception of Gov. Beaver to the
other Governor's Was to be held.
"Then a committee of the Com-
tnision was appointed to receive the
Cardinal and take him in honorable
charge on his arrival in the city ;
and the reception to him was an•
nouuoed.
"It was stated that the President,
on receiving an invitation to that
reception, sent an excuse saying
that his attendance upon the
Governor's would prevent his
presence. But consultations were
had.; committees met ; and the
report was then given out that those
who were to have the President in
'change ,would hasten him from the
Governor's to the Cardinal's, so
that he would surely be at the
latter.
"And on the paper that was print-
ed for the guidance of invited guests,
and .distributed' from the office of
the Commission, not only did the
Cardinal's reception appear, but. (the
two to be held at the sumo time), it
was actually given the precedence
to that of the Governor I
"I'hsn the papers reported the
astounding sight of our President
and Governors and other represen-
tatives of the. great Protestant
American people, paying their court
to the scarletted representative of n
foreign prince wile has no diplomatic
relations with our Government, the
head of a Church who -would crush
our Constitution jibe could.
"Nor is this the whole indignity
which was put upon the Churches of
our land. The National Reform
Association has -'its headquarters in
Philadelphia. It is composed of
ministers end members of all Pro
testant Chinches, who stand second
to none in professional ant business
position, eminence, scholar -ship,
influence., They believe (we have
not up to this time agreed with
them) that our Constitution should
be so amended as to give _it a more
marked, and explicit Christian char•
aoter; and for that one single oh
jest they are laboring in the way of
instruction. That Association ap
plied for leave to participate . in the
parade ofThursday ; end it nos re.
fss.d. Onr readers will scarcely
credit this. They will think there
must be some mistake. But the
fact is as stated The correspond
ence lies before us. Permission was
at first given, but the next day was
withdrawn And the refu'al was be-
cause the Association advocate
amending the Constitution to make
it mora explicit Christian docu-
ment. A parade it which was allow.
eel an oxhibitlon by brewers, that
was disgusting with its allegorical
devices in favor of liquor drinking,
was closed against the representa-
tives of a Christian Association,_
whose members are the salt of the
earth."
The Joureet goes on to state with
increased indignation that the Ro-
man Catholic hietetrcby put 1t11ir1•
sult upon 1Protestantism by not, op
pearing'at the ceremonies in bide-
veudeuoo Square until after too
opening; prayer. .1lthough only on
place each tv:•ts reserved for the re•
i>rcaentatiye-s of the Protestant
Churches, thin ,is how the Roman
f'+tthnlin dignitaries were treated.
"Just 'tiler the "petting fretyer, by
night Itev. henry• (1. Potter, 1).
D., Protestant Episcopal Bishop
of New York, the following ]roman
Catholic clergymen tr•,r•e seen es-
corted down the pas. , tray front
independence Hal; towards the
speaker's stand : His Eminence,
,James, Cardinal 0tbbons, Archbishop
of Baltimore ; Archbishop P. J.
Hyan, of Philadelphia; Archbishop
M. Corrigan, of Now York ; Bishop
fltlmom', of Cleveland ; Bishop
O'Farrell, ot'rrentmt; Bishop Kenne,

of Boston ; Rev. Father Fitzsimmons,
of Catrden ; itev. J. P. Sinnot, of
Philadelphia; Vicar General Smith,
of Trenton ; and Rev. Dr. Edward
Purcill, President of Vineland Col
lege."
At the conclusion of the ceremonies
Cardinal Gibbons repeated a prayer
and pronounced the benediction. It
should here be stated that a second
beneil ofrou ens pronounced, acorn d
ing to a previous .)aviation, by a
Ir,'eeat?yteillpv4itt giwaL>i Rc1, ; ?r.

vision being ,wader for' -bis taking
part in the cerewoney, po spoke
only when all was in confusion and
the people had begun to leave, in
the belief that the exercises were
over.
The comments of the Protestant
religious press of Philadelphia have
drawn from the Centennial Commit-
tee,through its president, Mr. Kasson,
a defence which can only be char-
acterized as lame -and unsatisfactory,
betraying also most Iamentallle
ignorance of the place which Pro-
testantism should hold and does
hof'd in the United States. The
Journal thus concludes as to the
shameful insults that have been
put upon Protestants,.in the hour of
the nation's rejoicing at the birth o
constitutional liberty to gratify the
pride of the determined enemy of
all liberty, civil and religious.
"We do not believe the great
mass of Protestants would even have
objected to a poorer share in the
religious services of the Centennial
being awarded to a Catholic represen•
tative. But to have such prouiin•
enee assigned to•that Church and its
dignitaries ; to have its "American
Prince" with his satellites of Arch-
bishops and Bishops put on the
.pinuacle : to have hitt herein State
and our prominent men swept into
his Court ; to !save it Presbyterian
minister brought at the last moment,
unanounced and almost unknown, to
go through the solemn farce of a
second benediction : this provokes
even the meekest Protestants. And
the organ of the Philadelphia. Aiello
bishop deepens the provocation. 1n
its issue of last week it glories over
the procedure. " 1'KINEELY [iON-
1)1t5," in onoruioua capitols a quarter
of an inch large, of the deepest
black, is the heading it places at the
beginning of its account ; "The
Constitutions's Ceutew•ery" being sub-
ordinate and in more insignificant
letters. The whole long account of
the three clays journey Papalized
with the headingl'Paiscctr,>i IIovua,.'
According to it, the "American
Prince". (so it delights to call the
Cardinal) Was the figure in tho whole.
He conducted the religious services;
even Bishop Potter was not men
tioned."
"We confess our Protestant blood
boils over this. Mr. Kasson and the
other Protestants (of what Church ?t
who were on the Commission had no
right so to sell out and humiliate
this Profestant city and this Protes-
tant nation. If they were hood-
winked, or acted from ecclesiastical
ignorance, they should confess their
error. 1f they knew what they
-.)veto doing, they should be .)narked
men in the political world. And the
eyes of even blinded Americ:in
Protestants should be opened to
the insidious advances which the
Papacy is, malting upon their govern
gent, atul to the unprincipled
truckling of which politicians evert
of thVr own faith aro capable."
We have given special prominence
to this episode in contemporary
American history that our readers
may see once more how faithfully
the Roman Catholic Church supporta
its pretentious to be the Church, and
low willingly Protestant politicians
itt quest of the Catholic vote ac-
quiesce in these pretensions, and
trample under -foot -every thing -441 -at
Protestant Christians hold sacred.
Painful is the lesson and deep is the
huwiliat.ion occasioned by this dis-
graceful instance of truckling to
Rome, but the pain and tine shame
may be endured if only they will
Serve to arouse the friends of civil
and religious liberty everywhere to
Fut no trust in politicians when
the Catholic"vote is at. stake.

WHO IS TIiIE DEVIL.
Rev. J. if, Malcolm Gives Some
Points on the Eivil One's
History.
At the Scotch Presbyterian
Church, \Vest Ail;uhs street, Chic-
ago, tato pastor Rev. -T. II. Arall-
colin,preaiclted on the ".Devil—Who
Is ITo ? \\'lint Is Ile? and Where Is
llu_3” The tc1
"1t'ur fi ttan himself was transform-
ed into an angel of light." The
Bevil, the preacher said, whoever
and it•itatever he is, is it most distiu-
guiahed personage,and since the, race
bogau had taken a most active inter- •
est in the alfairsof uteu. .As to the
devil's influence, history, art, ro
tnauce, mythology furnish abundant
evidence. Every system of Moral
and religious.thought haul its devil
as its greatest enemy. Tho ethnic:
systems of religious have their
devil that they counsel and warn
against, and in fact, ail nations and
people feel and believe that there
is someone 01' Sonia what from
which they shtick anti with w•hotn
they feel they have had more of less
t., do. The universality of belief

rtalily of his i,tc:ettcuand his pow-
er, fur puffing ever 00111ea to 1>e
universally hollered aiders ?hero is
it reality from iviticll unit belief
sprung.. Much hits been written of
the doer!. Ifo mule Milton famous;
he contributed in nu small degree
to the venom' ul• Shakespeare; up-
on the devil, and his common
health, Dante built itis great. ntun-
uniept. If the dev'i1 would writo
his own autobiography, any pub-
lisher would guarantee him a liber-
al sum for the eopywrigbt and
handsome stale. Must pain+.).• h,,ve
very false notions about the devil.
Some even doubt that he exists, say
that he may have existed in Aclalrn's
time, brut that two old serpent died
long ago.
1'lte idea of the devil is largely
poetic. Some have n Biblical idea
of hits, or rather ono that they got
from the 13iblo. \\'!teat they think
of the devil they picture to them-
selves the thousand -eyed dragon
that they saw in the wood -cut in
the old family Bible, or the other
hideous character with tho horns
and hoofs, Thus the childish idea
is retained by many after other
childish things have been put away.
The impression made on the mind
is that the devil is only hideous
and repulsive, hence they never

truth, fair he le a Wag *ith, many
sides te his character,. with great
power and tre1nendoutt e'sot}rces,
Far a true conception of his nature
one must go not to the picture .of
Bible, but the written word itself.
In the Old 'Testament the devil
comes forward under the gltise of
respectability and of personage
seekiug the society of his bettors
and ono intensely interested in the
history of the race. The New
Testament does not teach a doctriue
of Satan as something new or re-
vealed, for the first time, but as-
sumes a general belief in such a be-,
ing.
Taking the whole history of hint
from Genesis to Revelations a safe
statement in that the devil is the
god of the kingdom that is in open
rebellion against the kingdom of
righteousness and truth. Ho is a
person, distinct, iutelligout ; not a
mere priuciplo of evil. To argue
that he is the more principle
of evil is to argue that God is a
more principle of good. Intelli-
gence, design, cunning and decep-
tion aro predi'etod of him in the
scriptures, and such qualities could
not be predicted of an influence.
Then the question of where and
what the devil is was considoled.
It was answered that he is every-
where, especially where moral and
religious agencies aro at, work.
"Wherever God erects a house of prayer,
The devil always builds a chapel there ;
And 'twill be found upon examination,
The latter has the larger congregation."
