CURRENT TOPICS.
A secret organization convention
was held at Auburn the other day and
the nomination on the independent
ticket offered several likely candidates
for West Huron, but all, it is said, de-
clined.
Among the possible candidates nn
the Conservative side for West Huron
the names of Capt. Beck of Saltford,
Mayor Butler and Dr. Holmes of God-
erich, Dr. Case of Dungannon, D. Weis -
Miller of Hensall, and D. Patterson,
reeve of East Wawanosh, have been
mentioned. Any one of these gentle-
men would make a capable representa-
tive.
West, Huron finds space in the lead-
ing dailies of the Dominion and people
read what will happen and what won't
happen. Our own opinion is that a
bye -election will take place ere long
and the Grits must soon put on their
war paint. The Tories of course will
survive and cotne out on top. But
they should also move toward organize,
tion and be in readiness for battle. "In
peace prepare for war" is a motto the
Grits never overlook.
•The Gritbrganizer, Srnith, paid an
vfilcial visit to West Huron a few days
ago. Embodied in his mission was the
persuading of Mr. M. C. Cameron to be-
come the Reform candidate for a bye -
election, in this riding, but the old
"war horse" refused to be persuaded.
It is not likely. in the event of a bye -
election, that there will he more candi-
dates than Patron Forrester and a
straight Conservative. The Reform
arty, as a party, will of, course sup -
ort Mr. Forrester.

de-Beauppre; and had year correspond-
ent confined himself to this phase of
H. D. S.'s conduct, he and bis co -relig-
ionists would merit the sympathy of
the fair-minded even of those who do
not agree with his doctrinal views
which be is pleased to term Catholic

part of the restive, contentious little
boy, whojueedlessly provokes a quarrel,
the consuquences of which must be
inflicted upon, and tamely borne by
others, -ir in self-defence they are
forced into the contest, while_the prime
agent, in the initiative of the strafe
becomes fi vanishing quantity. `The
writer styling hiniselt Catholic (?) with
instincts getepane to his cultusveems
eager for the fray, and seizes 'gvith
alacrity on the pretext afforded him by
the indiscretion or temerity of N. U,
S. to assail a large number of people
who he imagines differ from the views
of his somewhat modern religious
system, but who nevertheless are quiet-
ly attending to their own duties and in
no way offensive to either the writer
or the Italian Schism of Christendom
to which he apparently belongs.
"Malicious calumnies" and "old stereo-
typed falsehoods" are not in good
taste ; and are, to say the least, un-
pleasant offences to be charged with ;
and that only for the simple cause
that we are unable to accept a large
body of doctrine and practice which is
neither scriptural, primitive, catholic
nor necessarily Christian, and by no
means necessary to good living or the
salvation of souls. When your corres-
pondent subscribes himself "Catholic"
he is unwittingly, perhaps, in error, a
very common error of his sect ; the
term Catholic in his case is really a
misnomer, for his writing is that of a
Romanist, 1 use the term in its proper
and respectful sense and not in the
least with an offensive meaning. If be
were an intelligent Catholic he ought
to have known that the Catholic, pt•iln-
itive, and Christian church, especially
that branch of it having its centre in
the City of Rome, began' to fall into
apostacy and to incorporate error with
primitive" Christianity during the dos-
ing decades of the 4th century, gradu-
ally and almost imperceptible was the
falling away from purity at first, but
with greater celerity and momentum
as the power of the old Roman .Empire
waned, and that of the bishops of the
patriarchate of Rome increased, and an
ever growing increment of pagan cere-
monial and heathen superstition be-
came embodied with the rites and
teachings of the once pure church.
The decay of learning on the dissolu-
tion of the Roman Empire, followed
by the dark ages, culminated in the
establishment of the temporal and so-
called spiritual power of the Bishops
or popes of Rome. and in the degrada-
tion, and, to a very great extent, the
corruption of the church. In the six-
teenth century it was pleasing to the
Great Head of the church, who had
promised His abiding presence to he
vith i; till He should come again to
ause the light of truth to shine once
ore, and certain national and autoce-
halous and independent churches,
qually so as that of Rome, (by every
ght due to God and man), by the
race of God, the light of Scripture

g circulating t-lre Gospel and the
story of pure primitive Christianity,

ose national churches which submit -
d to the guidance of the pope and

1•k ages, and anathematizing all who
cold not accept them. These decrees

approaching to the common Holum
veneration ot relics can be produced
during the first 850 years of the Chris-
tian era. But while he says this, the
first authority he cites is St. Angustine,
a.writer who lived at the close of the
4th century after Christ. Why does
he not quote Hernias, Justin Martyr,
Ignatius, Palycarp, Clement Bishop
of Rosie, Tertullian, or some writer of
the first Lhree centuries of pure Catho-
lic Christianity in support of his eultus
of relic adoration? Tertullian would
tell hien in his famous saying: IVhat-
ever is first is true ; whatever td more recent
is spurious ;" in other words, the ven-
eration of relics is recent and therefore
spurious. If however Augustine be
competent authority for "Catholic" on
this matter, is not the same author
equally valid against the Romish as-
sumptions of the" supremacy of St.
Peter and his pretended successors, the
present. popes of Rome ; and if so,
why do not Romanists accept Augus-
tine's witness and judgment against
modern papal assumptions. We need
not trouble ourselves with Ohrysostorn,
a later writer cited by "Catholic;" for,
as I have shown, the church, especially
in Rome and Constantinople, had by
his time" well begun on the down grade
of corrupt errors find practices on
several matters.
Permit, me dear "Catholic," to kindly
inform you that the "fit st Christians"
who were Jews, would not touch your
modern relics, for fear of defilement,
as their law relating to unclean things
forbad their contact with them. and
from the days of the NLtccabees they
had too much horror of idolatry to
think of it. Allow rue further to say
that the veneration. of relics or any
adoration of them is, in its origin and
progress a custom of paganism, incor-
porated with Christianity after the -
persecutions of the churclr•ceased on
the conversion of the Roman Empper-
ors,•beginning with the time of Con-
stantine, 324, A. D., whose conversion
led many to come into the church,
knowing little or nothing of its power;
andethe poison spread rapidly, as the
church, in a generation or so, became
largely a community of only baptized
paganism as has more or less been the
results of the efforts of your sect in
heathen lands in modern times. Proof
of this will be forthcoming when called
for.
The grand objection to the venera-
tion of relics, however innocent it may
seein at its incipient stage, is the indis-
putable fact that we have no authority
for it in scripture, and the too reason-
able apprehension that it will soon
degenerate into a rank and degrading
superstition. The passages of scrip-
ture quoted by "Catholic" are all too
irrelevant to form any adequate
ground for the Roguish eultus of relic
adoration. Every miracle recorded in
Scripture, I devoutly receive; hut I
cannot accept the portents, signs and
wonders which are detailed by the
thaumaturgiccalendar ofasuperstit ious
church. The utterly unscriptural char-
acter of the practice in favor of which
these miracles are alleged to have been
performed, the disgusting details of the
istory of relic veneration, all make
any mention of miracle worse than
auspicious, and as the subjoined proof
of the spuriousness of alleged miracul-
ous cures at the fatnous shrine of
Lourdes, in France, will show, the less
said by Romanists in this nineteenth
century respecting ,such apocryphal
wonders, the more prudently they will
act.
THE LOURDES MIRACLES.
GREAT 81788 OF PILGRIMS TO TOR 888188- 25000
^ATIENT, 8118 To BE IN •IIIE VICINITY—CURIOUS
CASE OF IMPOSITION.
London, Aug. 25.—A special despatch received hero
from Lourdes lust evening says that fourteen addi-
tional trains, all crowded with pilgrims from Paris,
arrived there yesterday. It is added that 17 of the
pilgrims died while on their way to Lourdes, and that
25,000 sufferers are at that place, tomo of them lying
helplessly about the station and streets, clamouring
to be carried to the sacred grotto.
Speaking of the alleged miracles, the London
Figaro Rays :—"One of the most widelyadvertined of
the 'miraculous' cum performed at this French Mecca
was that of a man 'lamed Delia y, whose paralysis
had for ten years baffled the skill of the most brilliant
Ft each medicos, including even the famous Dr. Cher-
oot. /io marvellous was his recovery considered that
the worthy priest° of Lourdes retained him ee a per-
manent show specimen of the virtues of the Virgin
Mary's grotto. Eventually, however, the life of the
cloister palled upon the oared paralytic, and one day
he disappeared, taking with him a considerable sum
fn hard cash. It was three years before the police
were able to lay their hands on him, and when they
did the old paralytical symptoms immediately re-
turned. Delanoy was examined by two doctors, and
they ware not long in discovering why Dr. Cheroot
and hie colleague'. worn baffled. It was slmplybecause
Delanoy, instead of being afflicted with locomotor
ataxy, was a sound, able-bodied scoundrel, who had
contrived to impose upon somo of the moot brilliant
men in France, including M. ZOia. The end of It all
la that Delaney will spend the next four years In gaol,
and the priest of Lourdes is trying to reassure the
faithful se to the genuineness o1 the miracles that
have been performer:. But, In the opinion of all sane
people, the bottom has been knocked out of the
mireeulons mare business once and for an."
I venture to assert that every case of
alleged miracle cure, by virtue of relics,
would, if an equally honest test were
applied where the subject was possess-
ed of sane mind, be found equally
spurious as this one has been. The
miracles of the apostolic age were per-
formed openly before believers and un-
believers alike, not so the pretended
tniracles of -the devotees of the Italian
Schism 'of to -day.
I now pass on to consider 1,he state-
ments of the writer on the matter of
Image worship. "Catholic" says :
"The language of the church is, "Curs-
ed is he who commits idolatry, who
prays to images or relics or worships
them as God." Let me ask "Catholic,"
then, why does his church omit the
second commandment in the table of the
commandments placed in the hands
of the people? Is it because a cunning
priesthood fears that the people would
detect the inconsistency between the
profession and the practice of his
church? The second commandment,
I mean, is that contained in Exod. xx,
vv. 4-6. Now the second council of
Nice (A. D. 787), distinctly enjoins the
adoration of the images of Jesus Chris,,
the Virgin, and apostles, prophets and
martyrs, under penalty of anathema
or curse. Does the Roman church
curse the people for doing the very
thing which it would curse them, and
does curse them, for not doing? Or
what distinctive subtlety of meaning
exits betbveen actor:ttiorland worship?
"Catholic" says, "We only honor them
as H. D. S. or any other intelligent
protestant wonld honor the likeness of
a dear relative who was absent by
death or some other cause," and adds,
"We honor them according to their
dignity and invoke their aid." Yes,
Tired but Sleepless
Is a condition which gradually wears
away the strength. Let the*blood be
purified and tinriched by,Hood's Sar.
saparilla and thiscondition will cease.
"For two or three years I was subject to
poor spells. I always felt tired, could not
sleep at night and the little I could eat
did not do me any good. I read about
Hood's sarsaparilla and decided to try it.
Before I had finished two bottles I began

"Catholic," that is more honest ; you
invoke the aid of a picture, but what
kind of aid ? Evidently' supernatural
aid or such as only God can give ; and
yet you tell us that the church of Rome
curses those who "pray to images or
worships them for God 1" But serious-
ly, do protestants, so-called, invoke
the aid, needful to either their tern poral
or spirituel welfare, of the pictures of
their dear absent, friends, whether dead
or liying? Surely such special plead-
ing were pitiable as it is absurd. But
is it true, or who can believe that the
honor paid by Romanists to images is
only such as that paid by protestants,
so termed, to the pictures of dear
absent friends 1 1 verily believe, your
correspondent is too much a casuist to
be only a layman, but his casuistry is a
little too specious to he that of aJesuit.
The 2nd council of Nice declares, as
set forth clearly by James of Clugiuni,
that "the worship paid to an image of
Christ is the very same in kind and
degree as the worship paid to Christ
himself." And as it matter of fact they
do pray, and ;are enjoined to pray to
images, and yet the very voice of God
says : "Thou shalt riot make to thy
self any graven image, or the likeness
of any thing which is in heaven above,
or In the earth beneath. Thou shalt
not bow down to them nor worship
them." I am aware, that the
second Nicene council cursed all those
persons who apply the name idols to
the images which it required Romanists
to.adore ; but if contrary to the second
ceenrnandment, a statue he worship-
ped, it needs an impossible discrimina-
tion to discover how the nature of the
act of adoration can be changed, by
the mere verbal expedient of calling
the statue an Image rather than an idol.
St. Paul knew nothing of this sophis-
tical sublets which Romanists have
employed. With him the worship o/ an
image was the worship of an idol (Roto. i,
23); and so, in the judgement of corn -
mon sense it must always be. Hence to
say that iinege-worship cannot and
does not,lead to idolatry, is a palpable
contradiction ; f r• image -worship and
idolatry are identical. "Catholic' tries
another effort at sophistical jugglery
when he tells us that we honor God,
His saints and men by the sane ex•
t.erna;l acts of kneeling, bowing and un-
covering the head, and cites the civil
act of worship paid the Queen as an
illustration, and by this reference he
introduces the consideration of the
third error of Romanism, noted in this
discussion, but. as I have already taken
up much of your valuable space, I must
defer its examination, and ask your
kind permission to treat of it in a
future issue; and in conclusion, 1 wish
to give one or two of many authenticat-
ed instances to prove the fallacy of
"Catholic's" plea that the veneration
of images does not inculcate and foster
idoiatr•y. Serenus, a bishop of Mar-
seilles. in France, at the close of the
8th century when. the practice was only
in its infancy, findingit impossible to.
prevent his people fom worshipping
the images which had been unadvised-
ly set up in the churches, forthwith
broke the contemptible puppets to
pieces, es a vigilant and faithful bishop
onght to do. The matter having beer
referred to Gregory I, Bishop of Rome
(590-604, A. D.) he admitted that the
people did commit idolatry, and wor-
shipped the images. Those images
were introduced into those* churches
exactly on the plea, set up by "Catholic,"
of their aiding devotion in the capacity
of mere instructive memorials. This
use of images soon led to their being
worshipped ; and, such worship was
pronounced to be idolatry by Serenus
and Gregory, the latter a pope equally
as infallible, I presume, as the present
pope Leo XIII. Thus the matter stood
at the close of the sixth century, thus
also was image -worship viewed and
condemned, in the year 754 A. D., by
the council of Constantinople.
The following specime'h, at least, of
Romish devotion to images, among
others from the book of the Hours of
the Virgin, for the use of the church of
Salisbury, (Paris Edition 1528) further
illustrates the silly, not to say degrading
tendency of the practice so highly com-
mended by "Catholic." Referring to
the use of a certain prayer, it says :
"tali them that be in a state of grace{
who devoutly say this prayer before
out blessed Lady r f pity, she will show
,them her blessed visage, and warn
them of the day and hour of death ;
and, in their last end, the angels of God
shall yield their souls to heaven. Such
a person shall obtain five hundred years
and so many lents of pardon, granted
by five holy fathers, popes of Rome."
1 might go on citing examples ad libitum,
but surely enough have been adduced.
Should this discussion he continued at
length, I trust to -he able to convince
"Catholic" that we who are esteemed

Great preparations are being made
for holding i he annual fair of the Mor-
ris Branch Agricultural Society, to be
held in Blyth on the 8th and 9th inst.
Should the weather only prove favor-
able a bigger crowd than ever is antici-
pated.—Mr. Herbert Young, of Toron-
to, son of our respected Reeve, N. H.
Young, Esq., who has been vis:ting
under the parental roof for a couple of
weeks, returned to the city on Monday.
—A concert under the auspices of Blyth
Maple Leaf Lodge, L O. G. T., is to be
l
gve.n in Industry Fall on the second
night of the fair. Some first-class tal-
ent has been secured from Toronto for
the occasion.—Our townsman, Mr,
Robert Howard, has disposed of his 50
acre farm on the gravel road north o.
the village, to a man from the town-
ship of Ashfield, for a very good figure.
The purchaser takes possession in two
weeks.—On Friday evening our band
treated the natives to a few selections
on the market square,—The weather
for the past few days is remiriiiingg us
that winter is fast approaching.—rhe
different millinery establishments in
town were well patronized by the fair
sex at the fall openings.—Sacrament of
the Lord's Supper was administered in
St. Ardrews (Presbyterian) Church on
Sunday motning.—On Sunday Mr.
Will. Crawford officiated in Trinity
Church in the absence of the rector Rev,
T. E. Higley, and preached excellent
discourses.—Our mail carrier, Mr. Jas.
Moore and his family removed to Aub-
urn, where he will reside in future, his
duties having been changed. We are
sorry to lose such a good citizen, but
what is our loss is Auburn's gain.
