U„ May, 18954 Sing a song of ways and means, Nice, good-natured man, With an empty pocketbook, Hits upon a plan. Gets a paper and a pen, Writes an application ; Gets it signed by twelve nice men, Of decent grade and station, When the paper's opened, „ 'Tis clearly understood, The whole thing is "conducive To the public good." Fellow buys his license, Pays his money down ; Isn't that an easy way Of lighting up a town ? Make the sidewalks wider, Make 'em wide and straight ; Some;,imes men come reeling Homeward rather late— Once were babies cuddled tight, As though the love worild'smother; Isn't this a pleasant sight To set before a mother? Sing a song of broken hearts, Hearts that break for sorrow ; Eyes that look through blinding tears. For a better morrow. When the polls are opened, The votes and drink go down ; Isn't this a precious sight To set before a town ? Sing a song of ships afloat, Starry pennants wearing; For a distant heathen port, See them seaward hearing Tracts and ruin casks both aboard, Whiskey and salvation ; 'Tis a most consistent dish Before a Christian nation. Sing a song of woman's work, Women's faith and prayers ; Four and twenty duties, Four and twenty cares, Girls with sunny faces, Women with white hair ; Unions in the East and West, Unions everywhere. Working for a Christian cause, Men that cause delaying, Women with their ribbons white, Hoping, trusting, praying, When the Book is opened, Where creed and act accord, Won't this he a pleasant sight To see before the Lord ?

He tells us that we could have our minds en)ignten.ed on Catholic doctrine by perusing one of their penny catechisms to be had in any book store. This statement Is not candid, as this discussion will in its progrese amply prove; for Romanists are far too shrewd to expose anything of .the more monstrous features of their teaching in any Took, so common and easy ofassertion accessheism; earnelyd btrifliy retngaki, or ng straNch d- ing upon the assumed simplicity of your readers. When he says, "We honor God, His Saints, and men by the same external acts of kneeling, bowing, &c.," and cites in illustration the act of loyal or civil worship rendered to the Queen, he is merely trying to create confus- ion of ideas in the reader's mind, but the artifice may be so easily detected as to deceive nobody, unless the dense- ly crabs. No danger necessarily exists that the same kind of worship will he offered the Queen that is paid to God, as nothing divine,- spiritual or super- natural is tendered her, or expected from her ; it is quite different, how- ever, when prayers are addressed to saints or angels, invoking their inter- cession, as mediums of access, or supernatural mediators between God and rnen. For instance, when we read (i Chron. xxix, 20), that, "the con- gregation" of Israel "bowed their heads and worshipped the Lord (Jehovah) and the king (David), the Hebrew word, (Shachah) to worship, is the same, and of the same conjugation, as that used in the second commandment (Ex. xx, 5), yet no intelligent person will imagine that the people worship- ped the king with anything of the subtleties of the Roman distinctions of Lelia or Hyper—Dulia as contrasted with Latria, or with any honor higher than that justly due to royalty. He next says : "We ask the inter- cession of the saints and angels," and gives as the reason for so doing, that he believes them to be possessed of knowledge and faculties, superior to Eliseus and Peter, as living men; ignoring t he fact that Elisha and Peter, as living men were, specially, and supernaturally inspired of God in order to carry out His divine purpose. But what is the most curious aspect of his argument here is, that from the same premises he appears to reach the con- clusion that we should seek for the in- tercession of the devil as well as that of saints and angels. In either case, howeyer, as regards their knowledge and powers, he is content to beg the whole question ; for he says : "Now surely we must suppose that the angels and saints know more than these men"; and again, "now we must allow the saints as much knowlege at least as the devil," without giving a word of reason for the inferences deduced ; just as when he tells us that the angels and saint's see all things in God, &c., he treats us to a draft of conceitfrom his own imagination only, His pretended quotation (i Cor. xiii, 10-12) to prove that "they know God even as they are known," is grossly incorrect ; such a statement as that "they know God," is not found in the Greek text. Regarding the guardianship and ministry of angels in his reference to (Matt. xviii, 10; Heb. i, 14; -Apoc. ii. 26-27, Luke xv, 10), he fails to cite even one sentence to justify our addressing petitions or prayers to them for their adjutive in- tercessions to God for us. These passages clearly indicate to any candid mind nothing else than that all such benefits accruing to us, originate prim- arily and solely in the love, goodness and mercy of God, and are bestowed by Him without any intercession or in- fluence on the part of saints or angels. Especially is this the only possible conclusion to any mind, not befogged by error, from the passage in Luke ; for it is elear that it is the owner of the treasure, the woman, who by dil- igent search finds the lost niece of mon- ey, and of her own accord institutes the rejoicing on:its being recovered, and so the only obvious meaning the parable can have for us is that God of His own unsolicited love and goodness seeks for the lost sinner, and of Him- self institutes the rejoicing on recover- ing His lost property. And, here, let me inform "Catholic" that he has cor- rupted the passage by substituting Romish penance for the term repentance, found in the Greek text. I presume he quoted from the corrupt Lattn Vulgate, and not from the pure Word. I shall not discuss the pernicious error of penance, however, at present. He misquotes texts andumbles, Saints, Angels, images and rues in a manner truly alarming, making it somewhat difficult to follow the de- vious labyrinth of his apocryphal meaning ; as when he says, that "the same is true (whatever he means), of the Saints is evident, for the saints are as the angels of God in heaven." (Matt. xxii, 31e and "are equal to the angels" (Luke xx-36). It is most likely far from being` he truth, that the dead saints are as the angels or equal to the angels, or that they can he so until the resurrection. It is of the resurrection state that our Lord is speaking in tee passages quoted ; for even tbe dead in Christ are not wet raised, and this is scriptural and Catholic doctrine, and it seems not a little strange that one setting himself up as a teacher of Catholic truth, and to he familiar with the great doctors and expounders of it, appears not to understand one of the primary articles ; and, in fact virtually stultifies one d the most remunerative dogmas of the papal system; for if the dead saints are now to be regarded as the angels, then the resurrection and judgment must both be past; already ; and if so, the business of purgatory pardons must also be now a lost pro- fession, and the papal priesthood he largely like Othello—their "profession gone.' Catholic now appeals to the Apocry- phal writings, and quotes the hook of Tobias (xii-12) for what may appear to be his most direct proof of the inter- cession of angels, but this only to the uninformed, and is evidently cited for the purpose' of imposing on the too credulous. He scarcely crtn be ignor- ant that the Apocrypha are neither found In the Hebrew efcrlptuees of this Old Testament, jealously safe -guarded by the Jews, nor were they, at any time received as the basis of the Chris- tian faith', nor to establish rltiy'ddctrine by the primitive writers or the true Catholic ehureb, In euepeet of this position, I might adduce the testimony of a host of witnesses, hut it Will be in good time, when demanded; and 1 will • only adtl now that uatrtill;tbe' 4th, session ;ut .the Codicil o0 Trent (A« D. 563) diet peen the: dee+,tying Roman church, ftnelly authorize the,A )ocry ,phal books, froii vii eh "Cattholic t here eluates, and curse all who refuse to accept there i and I roust be permitted to denythe claim of the,pone 4,1' sins: L7ounciof the Italian Schism to tell the Catholic church of to -day that they have the right and power tti authorize or manufacture scripture, not received and held canonical from the beginning. The passage which "Oathotic" refers to (tach. I, 12), is evidently an instance of Divine manifestation, technically known as Theophanfi,"or appearance, as frequently occurred under the. old dis- pensation of the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, but it will not help saint or angel worship now, because the only Theophany under the Gospel is the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. No saint or angel can hence- forth represent Him, or be clothed with His attributes, nor can such a thing he even imagined. With regard to traversing thel4 stations by way of pen- ance, "Catholic" isagain mistaken in his exegesis of the Lord's precept to follow His footsteps. "Not in doing penance on the round of 14 material stations after the modern Roman fashion are we to follow Him, but in spirit,in char- acter and life." No true Catholic denies that faith without work is dead, or that more, much more, is needed than, Lord, Lord ; but let me ask is Romish penance the measure of the works re- quired of us ? Was Paul, indeed, prac- tising modern papal penance when he strove to keep his body under lest he should become a castaway ? Nay, veri- ly, for it was then unknown, but he was subjecting the whole man to whole- some self-control, not as the slave of a superstition, degrading to body and soul alike. Why, does "Catholic" not know that the present Romish modus operandi of penance discredits the as- sumed dogma of papal a bsol utiou ? Fin- ally, in the matter of the sale'of crosses, beads and medals in the basement of a church, the argument is of the "in quggIle" character, and my friend"Cath- olic' is in error here, as the things which our Lord forbade in the temple, were not sold either in the Holy place or in the Holy of Holies, hut in the out- er courts and enclosures of the sacred edifice which may well represent the basement of the modern church, and in which the practice is in contraven- tion of the Lord's command, when ever perpetrated in or about any place dedicated to the true worship of the Triune God. Having now gone over the tangle of matter raised by my friend "Catholic," one thing more forcibly than any other occurs to my mind, and that is, its total irrelevancy to the dogmas set forth to be proven. Not a single argu- ment or quotation is Of any appreci- able force to sustain the positions set up by hiw,is germane and to the point. Now I proceed to advance some. brief statements in rebuttal of the assump- tions of Romanists in general, and of my friend "Catholic," in particular. As to the invocation of saints and angels, Rclrnanists ask, "Why did God author- ize us to solicit the prayers of our liv- ing friends, if He did not intend us to solicit the prayers of cur dead friends ?" Answer : By the voice of God's inspir- ed Worrl, we are expressly authorized. to solicit the prayers of the living, but Scripture no where enjoins or even sanctions the practice of soliciting the intercessory prayers of our dead friends. Such being the case, when we ask. the prayers of our living friends, we act in strict conformity with His clearly re- vealed will, and we are therefore assur- ed that we are acting properly hut, when we ask the prayers of our dead friends, we. turn aside from God's path, and know not into what error we may ultimately wander. And this danger is by no means imaginary. The Apos- tle Paul foretold (i. Tini. iv. i.) "that in the latter times, some would depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines concerning de- mon -gods" (see Greek.) Epiphanies speaking of these words of St. Paul, says : "Certain persons shall aposta- tise from the faith, attending to fables and doctrines concerning demon -gods. For the purport of the apostle's declara- tion is this : they shall pay divine wor- ship to the dead, even as men former- ly paid such worship in Israel." This prediction of St. Paul, as thus explain- ed by Epipbanius, a member of the Roman Church, has certainly been ful- filled by that Church, in these latter times, in the doctrine of Invocation of saints and angels. That such is the fact beyond contradiction, the follow- ing prayer to the Virgin Mary, taken from a service book of the present time, will clearly show : "We fly to thy patronage, 0 holy Mother of God, despise not our petitions in our ne- cessities; but deliver us from all dan- gers, -O glorious and blessed Virgin," If this is not worship of the highest order paid to a creature, then language has no meaning.. Many examples of prayers similar in import, addressed to saints and angels, will be given, if de- manded ; and let this refute the cfterf re -iterated statement, that Romanists do riot render divine worship to saints; and he it well remembered that when they state that this practice was in use in the Church of Christ from the be- ginning, the assertion is emphatically void of all truth. Of twelve writers prior to the Council of Nice, not one even mentions the name of Mary. Cyril or Jersusalem (347); Hilary of Poictiers (350 A. D.) ; St. Basil (370) ; St. Ambrose (370) ; St. Chrysastom (407) ; Gregory Nyssen (390) ; St. Epi - hanius (403); and Leo the Great (461); or Gegory (604) give no support to the perilous idolatry of Mariolatry. And it is a provable fact that she is to -day worshipped by Romanists more than all three persons of the Trinity, and still they claim the title of Catholic, and the only true Church of God. Against all this cultus of saints and angels, the Scripture is unmistakably emphatic; and for the benefit of my friend "Cathblic," I will point him to assages of that nature: (Col. ii. 18); Isa. xlii. 8); (Acts iv. 12); (i. Tim. ii, 5, ); (Heb. vii. 25.) ; (Acts x. 25, 26) ; (Acts xiv. 13-15); (Rev. xix. 10)1; (Rev. xxii. 8, Finally, in taking in taking leave of him for the present, I beg to refer him portraits which I shall be pleased to to the seventeeth and eighteenth chap- ters of the Revelation be Apocalypse ; and to the second chapter of St. Paul's second Epistle to the Thes- salonians vv. 1-12; and 1. Timothy (iv. 1-3) for a 'prophetic set of explain at his pleasure.

HOME PARK,,WIND$OR. managed With the Order mad fe&ulsrl'Y of a Military llarraek,-.,uncap Victoria's Lave for animals. That Queen Victoria should be fond of dogs Is not surprising. It ie a trait which has bebongee to moat of the Kings, Queens and Princes Pt Great Britain. Most of her predecessors on the throne of Vngland made much of dogs, and some of thein are celebrated In history for their love for the canine race. Edward II. was a famous dog ianclerec.Henry VIT. Was a great hue. ter.. iC 'u remember the affection which Mary Stuart had for a faithful little dog which died of grief (as the story, goes) after her death. And is there not the King pharles Spaniel, as a lasting ili reem•bra ce of one of England's Kings? KQueen Victoria Is as fond of dogs as any of her predecessors were. She never travels without two or three of her favorite animals, and when she was in France not long ago, her collie won the admiration of all amateurs. Darnley IL, this collie, has been for many years her greatest favorite; and anyone who knolvs the intelligence the faithfulness, the affection of the breed, will not wonder. Darnley II. is, of course, a prince of his species. Queen Victoria's love for the collie dog appears in the "Journal of MY Life in the Highlands," where, under date of September 14, 1873, she speaks of the obedience of a specimen of this breed: "he is the easiest dog to com- mand I ever saw," she says, in effect. The Queen is not alone in the royal family in her love of dogs. The Prince of Wales has a fine kennel at Sand- ringham, but he devotes his time—by deputy, of course—more to the grow- ing of larger animals. He is a famous prize taker at country fairs with fihe cattle, etc. But the Quene is faithful to her dogs, and the Home -park ken- nel at Windsor is, both by courtesy and in fact, the "first kennel of the kingdom." Happy are the dogs who live at Home Park! The establishment there dates from 1841, and the keeper Is Hugh Brown, a son of that famous Brown who was Queen Victoria's body ser- vant for years, Back of the red brick villa where Keeper Brown lives stretch 60 kennels. In the centre is the"Queen's Veranda," where the dogs go to frolic, and where often the Queen comes to spend a few hours with them. The kennels are built uniformly of red and blue bricks, and, to the mind of a Frenchman who lately visited them, have "a look very -coquettish." They are large and airy, and are warmed in winter by hot-water pipes. Each kennel bas two doors, one upon a paved court, in which are little chan- nels of fresh, running water, the other upon large plots of greensward. In the middle of each of these plots is a basin where the' dogs can take a bath. Not far off is the rustic house, closed by lattice -work, where ' the Queen, after her daily promenade with her donkey and her inspection of the kennels, can see her favorites frolic around her. All breeds are to be . found in the kennels of the Queen. Among her dogs are several Pomeranians, most of which were bought in Florence in 1888, and several of them prize -winners. One of these Pomeranians, Gina, took all the first prizes in her class at the exposttlon In Agriculture Hall in 1891. Near these dogs are to be found two old pensioners of Home Park—two lit- tle Italian hounds, Dainty and Btsche, in which the Queen takes great in- terest on account of the love which the - Emperor Frederick had for the breed. Close by is a kennel which Is kept empty and locked; here, in his life, dwelt Rolfe, an Esquimau dog. The Queen was very fond of him, and did not want another dog to take his ken- nel According to the veracious French- mao before quoted, Paul Megnln, whenever a subject of the Queen wish- es to make her a little gift, it is that of a dog. Thus Lady Brassey, return- ing from Japan, brought her a curious pair of pugs. The .male alone remains at Home Park, and he has the name of Breassey. The Queen, herself, it may be noted, insists upon naming all her dogs herself. Skye -terriers, once plentiflul at the royal kennels, seem to have fallen into disfavor. The race has been ousted from regard by the fox -terriers and the collies—much .better pets, most fanciers will say. Three especial favorites at Home Park are Spot, Marco and Roy. Roy is a collie, and travels with his mistress. The other two are fox -ter- riers; they are too old to journey to the continent. All three are prize- winners. The Queen has many re- markable collies; Gleen and Darnley IL, already mentioned, are two of them, and, as chief favorites, these two have a special habitation, a little cottage separate from the other ken- nels. The dogs run here and there in play over the greensward at Home Park, but there are never out of sight of Brown's helpers. "The Queen re- quires, says M. Megnln, "a .continuous watch over her pets." There are some curious pictures in Brown's parlor. One of them is a painting of the Queen and Princess Beatrice in the midst of their dogs. Another Is a portrait of Punch, Col. Stockwell's dog, which made the cam- paign in the Crimea, and was deco- rated therefor by the Queen. AU dog fanciers admire the organi- zation at Home Park. There reign an order, a regularity which are to be found In no other kennel. There is a hospital, to which two eminent vet- erinarians are attached; and there is also a cemetery, where lie the bones of all the dogs who have died at Home Park in the last 20 years and more. Some dogs have mausoleums; a dog called Noble has a notably artistic memorial. In taking. farewell of Queen "Victoria's dogs, let us quote a little philosophy from M. Megnin: "I do not know whether the Queen finds more pleasure In the society of her dogs, where she abandons all etiquette, than amongst the people of the court; but, so Brows tells me, she spends more time at home Park than at the court, and the ca- rets of ,one of her favorites lileases her more than the courtesies of In- terested courtiers.

What Education Costs. In these days of discussions over edu- cational affairs the average reader will he interested to know what it costs per head for education in each of the several provirces of the Dominion. The Dominion statistician at Ottawa has lately been investigating this mat- ter, and has compiled under 4he head of "social statistics" the following in- formation. He has discovered that Manitoba expends proportionately more upon education,for public schools, than any other province in the Domin- ion. Making a comparison between 1888 and 1893 it is shown that in Ontario expinditure in public schools has re- mained stationary at $1.87 per head of the population, In Quebec it has in- creased from 81 cents to 87 cents. In Nova Scotia it has fallen from $1.51 to $1.45. In New Brunswick the expendi- ture in the year 1888 was $1.26 per head, and in 1893 it had increased to $1.31. In Prince Edward Island it rose from $1.36 to $1.40, and in Manitoba fr'orn $1.57 to $2.02. Bri- tish Columbia increased her education- al expenditure in the same period from $1.40 to $1.87. In connection with the latter figures it is to he borne in mind that there is no public assessment for education in the Pacific province. Taking the average of all the pro- vinces the statistics show that the peo- ple of the Dominion are now paying at the rate of $1.56 per head of population for the purpose of public schools, an in- crease of 6 cents in the per capita ex- penditure since 1888. It appears also that Ontario spends 7 per cent. of the total provincial revenue of the govern- ment grants to schools, Quebec spends 4 per cent, Nova Scotia 23 per cent., while in Prince Edward Island the grant to education is as high as 54 per cent., or more than half of the total yearly revenue of the province.
