April 9th, 1889, Rev. E. M. Lawson,
Navasato, Texas, shot mid killed a
negro who had stolen spate articles. of
trifling value from him. In the same
locality, ou the seine day, an intoxi-
catedintin named Burharg persisted
en desturbing ,a Sunday school, aud •
/the pastor, Itev. Mr. Miller went home, .
got a gun, shot and killeri the unfor-
tunate man. On April 9th, 1889, at
I3altimore, Maryland, Rev. Joseph A.
31unday, waa aimed killed by buying
his throne cut while engaged in a
drtwite.0 brawl. On April 25the1889,
1lev, M. Dobbin, of Dufferite couuty,
' Ontario, I thietk, was deposed from
the Presbyterian or Congregational
Church for crimes the mention, of
which would .pollute the colutnns of
the most immoral New York paper.
On May 20th, 1689, Bev. tY.T.Hooper,
of North New York, Congregational
Church, though a married men, eloped

27th Jam, 1889, Rev. It. T. Burns,

believe, was senteneed to two years in ,
the Kingston Penitentiary,. the lowest
limit allowed by laW, for robbing the
post °Mee, appropriating a pour wo-
man's hard earnings that shedeposited
in the post ofliue savingsbank, and it
is a matter of doubt if the Govern-
ment will melte restitution. My.
reverend friend also reutember the
intliscreeiou (at least) of Rev. Mr.
Longley, a Methodist clergyman of
Toronto, who, though a married man,
acted in such a manner as to serioesly
coinpromise the character of a young
lady member _of his congregation. 1 .
will close inylist fur the present by,
mentioning the indiscretion of Rev.
Mr. Stonehouse, of Strathroy,who had
• to fly to the "land of the free" on ac-
count of several charges of blackmail
attempted on hotelkeepers in that
tovne Doubtless, by this titne my
reverend friend will understand what
mean by a -specific. charge. Can he
bring a single auoh oharge against the
Jesuits during the past year? five
years? t wenty yearsa hundred years?
two hundred years ? three hundred
y('ars? .1 ohallenge him, to do ;
nay, more, 1 challenge him to show
where a Jesuit has appeared as defend-
ant in any criminal or civil case in

may be, but I never heard of any. I
see Mie Shortt bee taken to quoting

dle. For instance, he says, Bishop
O'Connor, of Pittsburgh, said; " Re-
ligious liberty is merely endured until
the opposite can be carried iuto elfatit
Without peril to the Catholic Church:.
And again, that Father Hecker, in the.
Catholic World, july,1879, says,"There
is ere long to be a State religionle

Oat State religion is to beetle Rotnan

But the quotation he makes from the
Shepherd of the Valley has a very in-

United States judge, started a0i,tholie

yens ago it was put on Archbishop

it Lula it was SII..W11- that he was a

As regards Father, Hecker, I had the
pleasure of frequently listening to his
lecturos and' stIrmons ; also reading
seine of his wwqrs, and, although like
all converts he woe a most zealous
priest, I never understood he was in

Luther was protected by princes and

the executionea,"(Ooto. Lath. in Psal.
71, v. of Jeuse, p. 147.) Again, in
addressing Sylvester Prieras, he said,
" If welang rubbers on the gallows,
decapitate murderers and burn heretics,
why should we not wash our hands in
the blood or those sous of perdition,
those Cardinals, those Popes, those
servants of Rome and of Sodom', who
defile the Church of G-od ? (See
ander, cent. 161, etc., p. 109 ) Agaite
he say, "Come Princes, to arms 1
The times are come, the wondrous
times, in which a prince can gain hes-
en more easily by sluiddiug blood
than I by praying," (Luth. T. ii. vol.
130, and Torn Wette, vol. 8414) Fur-
ther,Catvin in his "Defensio Drthodoxa
Fidei," ou the trial of Servetus, who,
I believe, wanted to reform the Re
formers, argued that the governments
are bowie to suppress heresy, and those
who deny the justice of the punish-
ment deserve it themselves. And in
this opinion he was joined by all the
clergy of Geneva, (Schenicel,iii, 889,
Dyer's Life of Calm, 854. Paul
Henry, W.- 234). Melanohton also said,
" It is the duty of secular government
to banish blatipherny, false doctrine
and heresy on the bodies of those who
are guilty of them." Also, " Since it
is evident that there. are gross errors
iu the artieles of the Anabaptist sect,
we conclude that iti this case the obsti-
nate ought to be punished with death.'
(Bretchnwider ertMelauch, op. iii.199.)
And again, speaking of Servetne, Me-
lanchthon writes to Calvin, "I am
,entirely of .your opinion, and I hold it
As certain. that things having been
done iu order, your magistrates have
acted aceurding to, law and justice in
:puttitig this. blasplietner (Servetus) to

Calvin, p. 282 n Beza also says, in his
defense of Calvin, "Obstinate heretics
are far worse than parricides, and
deserve death even if they repent,"
(Torg. 715). At the Lntheran Synod,
Hamburg, rtlx Angust,1„58,6, at which
Me.ancthoa was present and voted yea,
was passed the following.cleeree : 'Who-
soever rejects infaut baptism ; whose -
ever usurps the priesthood ewhosoever
holds unlawful assembliese,whosoever
sins against faieh, oto be Pun-
ished with death,' e(leivin. lila, del,
