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 * 'With Mary Curtis, aged 19. On the 27th Jam, 1889, Rev. It. T. Burns, Church ef • England olergyman, I 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 anada.. or, the United States. There may be, but I never heard of any. I see Mie Shortt bee taken to quoting the old, won out "No Popery" twad- 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 this. country (elie united, States). and Oat State religion is to beetle Rotnan Catholic." In. regard to. the first, must insist ou Mr. 8. being more expli Alt. Is it the present Bishop of Pitts. burgh ?. Was it in a Pasteral lettee? Sermon Magazine article/ Or per- haps the quotation bas a history, some- thing like the one from, the Shepherd'. of the Valley, of which t will speak anon. Ori perhaps Father Itecker's wards ma have a sttnihu history ?; But the quotation he makes from the Shepherd of the Valley has a very in- teresting history. Nearly forty years . ago, a Mr. Bakewell, a Convert to the Oatholie March, and now, I believe, a United States judge, started a0i,tholie ver with the relieve title. As r*.ar 04., 1 understaud, it never wag the aroma of the Arelibishop of Bt. Louis. The paper has long sinto eetised. publics" Tho editor on tOdO Maslen, wrote something like Ur. Sbortt's quotation,withons the"$o we believe:4 but the anti-Outholie press took ad- vantage of the Way it was printed, dud very, conveniently removed "so say our eitemies " Mb over the Mated ;Setter; wetst hid latter. Now it was attributed to this :bishop, now to that, aIway stripped of the qualifying sentence above alluded to. A few yens ago it was put on Archbishop Ryen, ef Philadelphia, but he tienied it Lula it was SII..W11- that he was a stwiciit in Rome at the time. Now, however, my revered friend has pre - dented it in a new dreseethe que.ifyiug sentence, " So say our enemies," is left on and "S t we believe," :Weed. At al. events 1 have never seen it giveu that way before. Noes there is a curt of doubtfillinise reboat tins tienteuce. If the " wo" is Ola Otsized, it looks as tf the writer agreed with " our eremites," otherwise otl TW1$( i might be taken u implying that the wrier believed ".)ur enemies" used the words quoted. 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 favor of a &We churelt. Ele was a Limit etithusiastio American.. But, Lay deer revereald friend, don't you think such language emnittg from such quarters lacks that jesuitical crafty cunning we hear so much about I If Bishop O'Connor saactFittlier Hecker possessed it they don't -show it here. Neither do. they say what is to be the nature of the persecution hinted at. Are they to use the rack ? burn them at the Oslo ? imprison themi or whet 1 In fact, this Bishop and Priest don't talk about killing at all. Can we say as nitwit for the fathers of the Refortuation Let us see. When Luther was protected by princes and magistrates, he Wrote, .4.311001 any one present himself withouk the marks Of a. divine vocation, or the human authorization for biro to exercise the ministry of the Word, although he were an angel, even Gabriel himself who had come dowa, he must not be listened to. Drive him away as an apostle of hell, send if he does uot flee, deliver hiin up as a seditious man to. 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 'death," (Peeling, Court, Defeuse de 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, Anabaptist:1re, tin, p.222, .121, 22,1).
