O A88 gexitean Xysas>gv GMer,, 'J o tele Editor of the N Era. (cONoLIIAED) It is well to be reasonable and just. - Your fellow Protestants have earned a sharp to their country and to their flag, by giving their lives in its defense. Your Catholic brethren have earned a share to • them for the same reason, and you should not rob them of that which they have bought and paid for so dearly. But we must hasten .on with our lesson, or the New Ens will be getting impatient. Yon sneered at the Nnw Ent, because it was pleased to say that I was se sound a Protestant as lived in Huron. It was funny, wasn't it, to think of calling any one a Protestant outside of this class I now have the honor of teaching. But before I accept this title, even from the Nnw Ent, I must have the term Protestant strictly de- fined. If it means an individual who pro- tests against evils, whether they exist, or whether they do not; against decrees that have not been enaoted for more than two hundred years, and never will be enaot• ed again; if he is to protest,, more or Iees every day in the year, but that on one par- tionlar day he, with his fellow Pro- testants, are to summon up all their strength for one mighty, tremendous pro- test, accompanied by all sorts of discordant sounds, until the sound is such that the Catholics at the extreme end of the earth may hear and tremble; if he is to protest in such a manner that an onlooker is remind- ed forcibly of a band of wild Indians, who with far more show of reason, Beek to exer- cise the evil spirits with just such another din, then I beg respectfully to decline the title; at the same time thankful to the NEW Ene for it doubtless well -meant kindness. But if, by the term Protestant, we mean one who protests against evil wherever found, against superstition, tyranny,bigotry and intollerance, whether found amongst Catholics or Protestants, or any other peo- ple, and to do this in a manner becoming to and consistent with a Christian; then I gladly accept the title, and am grateful to the New ERA for the courtesy. You ask me fitly I consider you infants in your views, regarding the Catholics and your religion. I answer, because you bold the same views regarding them as I held when a child. I can remember quite well the blood -curdling stories of Catholics and ghosts that passed as current amongst us juveniles. When listening to them at night—and they were never told ue any other time—we would gather our feet up lest a blood thirsty -Catholic or hobgoblin— they were all the same to us—should crawl along the floor and drag us off by one of these respected members, for slaughter. The very word Catholio was associated in my mind with everything that was diaboli- cal and wicked. In my childish innocence • I thought it was because he was called a Catholic, that he was blood thirsty, and if She could only rid himself of that name he would not be half so bad. So also were my ideas respecting their emblem, the cross. I thought it was a relic of barbarism, by which they worked dreadful spells. As I advanced in years, and arrived at a better knowledge of things, I was furprised to find how mistaken my childish views.were. The word Catholic, with which I bad such associated ideas, I found to be a term thateach denomination was trying to claire for itself. The barbarous relic,thecross,I found to be the most fitting emblem any Christiancould have; that it was a term inseparable with Christianity, and the most befitting orna- ment that could surmount the steeple of a Christian chnreh. That the blood -thirsty Catholics and ghosts had vanished from off this earth. That the cause—superstition= having been removed, the effects had passed away with it. In short, I found the Catho- lics much the same as other people, only that they seemed to be a trifle more obeerv- tint of the rules of their church. I found that they worshipped the same Triune G-od that the Protestants worshipped. I found their creed, word for word, identically the same as the Protestants. Now, when I find you holding much the same views re- specting them, as I held when a child, am I not justified in thinking you are still in- fants in this respect, that'your minds have never expanded, but are narrow, contracted and prejudiced; that the tales told you in the nursery, and by the old men who wonld come in on an evening, to wile away the time, have moulded your minds relative to the Catholics, let me try to instruct ypu for awhile, in regard to your notion that Catholics are idolaters. AIlow me to ques- tion you somewhat. Why do you think that •Catholics are idolaters? Because they worship images. How do you know that they worship those images? Because *hey bow before them in the posture of prayer. But they do not intend to pray to the images. Who cares for their intentions? But when you bow before your bed in the . posture cf prayer, do yen intend to pray to the bed posts? Oh, no, I do not intend to pray to the bed posts. Who cares for your intentions? Come now, let as reason together. When a Catholic bows before an image, they have no intention of worshiping them, the honor which is given them is referred to the ori- ginal which they represent. He knows as well as yon or I, that the image has no power to hear or help him. But he pays it a relative respect; that is, their reverence for the copy is proportioned to the vdnera.. tion whieL they entertain for the heavenly original. The bowing to an image outsid of us is certainly not much different than worshipping before an internal image in our own minds. When you pray to God there arises before your mental vision an image of that Being to whom yon are ad- dressing your petition. But it is not that image you are worshipping, bat its proto- type. Let its try and prove this by a simple propotition. We will take a Catholio,whom we will suppose is not a natural born idiot, Sir John Thompson, Minister of Justice, will do us very well. You will not ques- tion his sanitp. Now, imagine Sir John bowing before an image of Christ and pray- ing thus wise, "Give me, 0 image, what I ask thee; to thee, 0 marble, or wood, or stone, I give thanks." 'ro believe snoh an absurd thing concerning a man of Sir John Thompson's mental calibre, would be ab- surd. But let us reason it according to emend, Sir John Thompson, not being a natural born idiot, (hyp) therefore he does not con- sider brass and wood and stone as being endowed with life and intelligence. But ' Sir John Thompson is a/Catholic, therefore Catholics do not consider them so endowed, (nal) therefore Catholics do not worship these images, therefore they are not image worshippers, therefore not idolatora.— (J E D). Is this plain enongh reasoning for your juvenile understanding, or while 1 i am about it, bad I better reason further; e , and remove all doubt? Well, then, did it ever occur to yon that people as a rule axe not ashamed of that which they worship So far from it, they are ever ready to hold rip to the Palle ,game, Oa' laud le tit the Oleos of their adoration, The will yoursist in thinking that this lips are the only exception; to thin x In Paying that they tare leolatore i+ the fact that they eel batically'de Worship of images. There you ever. the ,Catholics' creed, or the Catholioie Yon, never have? Afraid of being Mi. eepposo? Well, believe me, they won have hurt in the least your underata Have you ever read Father ,amberee on Ingersoll, You have; I am glad to it; glad to know that they are so est ly read. I)id it ocour to you,while rea that the term infidelity did not appl disbelief of the Pagan religion, and existence of the Pagan gods, lent th meant a disbelief in the Christian reli and in the existence of the Christian's and that when Father Lambert, a Cat priest, brought his master mind to upon the subject, and wrestled in argn with Ingersoll in the manner in whio did, that it was not in defence of the P religion and the Pagan gods, but th was in defence of the Christian reli and in the defenoe of the living and God, whom Father Lambert worahi spirit and in truth.

It is the great restorer of life that our forefathers so eagerly sought for but could not find. P ,vi dence, in its own good time, through one of the greatesphysicians of the century, gave to suffering man Paine's Celery Compound. Up to the present timeits magnificent and heaven -blessed triumphs have been so many and so remarkable, that many jealous physi- cians, of the lower order, have des- pised its wondrous effects, and will not condescend to examine truths connect- ed with it, simply because they dislike it, and fear it will take away their means of obtaining a living. Shame on such low,sordld character! Away with such men, who put person- al gain before the public weal and good! We now call the attention of our readers to a few soul -stirring facts; and at the same time we would inform those jealous physicians who dislike the truth, that`full and ample proofs can be shown to them of the following cures:— Mr B. Hutchins, a well-known Real Estate and Financial Agent, of Mon- treal, P.Q., suffered for fifty years from neuralgia and rheumatism; he was cur- ed by Paine's Celery Compeand. Mrs F. G. Fothergall, of Middleton, O.S., whose life was a long continued agony from sleeplessness,neuralgia and rheumatism, found a perfect cure in Paine's Celery Compound. • Captain Douglass, proprietor of the Leland House, Winnipeg, Man., used Paine's Celery Compound for dyspep- sia, indigestion and lassitude. He is now enjoying perfect health, and says Celery Compound beats all the efforts of the doctors. Mr R. Allen, of Orangeville,Ont.,was a martyr to rheumatism and sleepless- ness; he round a new lease of life after using Paine's Celery Compound. Mr J. T. Dillon, chairman Board of City Assessors, Montreal,de,Q., wasfor many years a sufferer from indigestion flatulency and rheumatism. He has become a new man through the use of Paine's Celery Compound. and now possesses a robust constitution. Mr Joseph Manuel, of West Brome, P.Q. was given up by the doctors as an insurable from dropsy; he was expected to die, but Providence directed friends to try the effects of Paine's Celery Compound on the sufferer, with the result that he is now in good health. Mr E. V. Rourke, of St. Martins, N. B., was a terrible sufferer from neur- algia ; he was cured in a short time by Paine's Celery Compound. Mr Chas.E. Robertson, Electrical Ex- pert and Mechanical Superintendent of the Royal Electric Works, Montreal,P. Q., was a terrible sufferer owing to nervousness, sleeplessness and overwork of body and brain. He is now enjoying perfect health and strength, owing to the grand effects of Paine's Celery Com- ound. Mrs J. Howard, of Greenville, P. Q., was nervous,weak and faint; she found a new existence—a new life after using Paine's Celery Compound for a short time. It does a work in the home that no other medicine can accomplish, and it always cures.

We ap- plied various simple remedies without avail. The sores increased in number and discharged copiously. A physician was called, but the sores continued to multiply until in a few months they nearly covered the child's head and body. At last we began the use of Ayer's Sar- saparilla. In a few days a marked change for the better was manifest, Tho sores assumed a more healthy condition, the discharges were gradually dimin- ished, and finally ceased altogether.
