ATKINSON SPRING: 'A ND JOSEPH H. HALL. 031â€" RIEHMIIND HILL {1888. THOSE PAPERS and those politicians who can never see any statesmanship or probity in the respected leader of the Conservative party in this Dominion, and who are always sneering at the " weakness of his declining years ” are recommended to give a moment’s conâ€"- sideration to the words of their own lender, Hon. Wilfred Laurier. At the banquet at Quebec a short time ago, Mr. Laurier paid a high tribute to the remarkable intellect, to his knowledge of men, and declaring that Sir John was equal to measure swords with the great- est statesmen in Europe. THE PUBLIC attention is experiencing much trouble in getting rid of that Mulcahy damsel in Montreal, ’and her extraordinary marriage. The latest phase of it, by which this family has been again hoisted into public notice, was the arrest of a Miss 'l‘ibbitts. from New Brunswick, who was visiting friends in Montreal. at the instance of Miss Mulcahy and her mother who mistook her for some Woman they had seen hanging about their home at the time of the “marriage” troubles. They have get themselves into serious difficulty by this rashuess, as a suit for damages on account of' arrest and false imprisonment is threatened by Miss Tibbitts’ friends. 11‘ IS said it is not the intention of Mr. G. B. Smith to be a candidate for re-eleetion for the Legislative Assembly. it being in all probability likely that he will take the place of the Men. A. Mac- kenzie in the Commons, as that gentleâ€" man through continued illness is unable to give the necessary attention to his parliamentary duties. I FIND says Mr. Charlton, “that a Grit Government and Legislature in Quebec passed the Jesuits Estate bill; therefore I think the Tory Government at Ottawa. ought to be turned out. THE GOVERNMENT of Canada having proposed to build a railway to shorten the connection with Halifax, Parliament would like fuller information before deciding for or against. the proposal. The Canadian Executive is performing one of its primary duties by obtaining for Parliament the further information it requires- This is exciting the ire of Grit obstructionists, who seem to think. it wrong that the Executive should recognize the wishes of Parliament. The real objection of the Grit press is that. they will be deprived of the opporâ€" tunity of urging Parliament again to postpone a decision next session on the ground that the desired information has not been snpplied.â€"-â€"l<linpire, Advertisements Without written instructions will be inserted until forbid and charged trunsi-- ent rates.

This enables Quebec to provide for the gradual development of French Nation alism as well as for the gradual extincâ€" tion of the rights and privileges of the English speaking minority. Under this section, the use of the English language by Municipal Councils is being done away with. and as L'Etcndm‘d has often hinted, it will be easy when the time is ripe to adopt other measures in the same direction. At the time of Confederation the English minority set much store upon the Federal veto, They supposed it would be exercised to protect British interests. But the veto is now practit- cally set aside. Sir John Thompson has just invoked it against a Quebec statute. the Magistrate‘s Act, which is said to trespass upon Federal jurisdiction and to invade Federal patronage; but he confesses his inability to employ it against measures like the incorporation and endowment of the Jesuit Society, which strike at the very base of the Status Quo 30f 1867 and menace not merely British sovereignty but human freedom. W'hither are we drifting 7â€"â€" Mail. M. 1-1. 333131.312, Sitt,~â€"It is astonishing when we reflect, with what blindness, force, and frequency M r. Egan, in his letters, has denounced the Presbyterian Church as blaspliemous; and strange too, is it with what conspicuous single-inindcdness he has harde upon one point to the exclusion of all others in the Confession of Faith, by selecting a few paragraphs and perverting them to his use. Mr. Egan certainly does not understand the teachings of St. Augustine, or he would have been more careful in the selection of his language toward the legitimate outcome at the doctrines of that divine. It is pain- l'ul at any time to notice persistent menta obliquity, and more particularly so when the sulTercr is an acknowledged exponent 0ft any system of theology, and when any ‘ number of his fellow subjects are depend-‘ cut on his teaching. I tear it would bet diflicult to convince the Rev. gentleman of there haviug been any errors in the theo- logical training of his early years, or of any error in the doctrines held by his Church, notwithstanding she has changed her tcaclh ing many times, and though he is but one man in a world of millions, I fear he is en- titled to be classed amongst those who are the least. open to conviction when their prejudices are assailed. Nevertheless, the truth may be pointed out notwithstanding his or their dissent, or assent, as he or they may choose, for it. is well that all may learn that no bishop or priest has such a title to infallibility that their mere assertion is en- titled to be accepted as uneentrovertable, and beyond criticism. In furtherance of this View. it can be no harm to draw the Rev. gentleman’s attention to his own ad- mission in his letter to the Liberal of July 6th, 1889, in reply to thc ltev. M r Vern wick, in which he states that he is a believer in the doctriueev taught." by St. Augustine: To the Editm‘ of the [Icmld The York Herald. EDITORIAL NOTES. COMMUNICATIONS. PUBLISHED BY But iFI were disposed, and had time, the similarity of the teachings of St. Augustine and Calvin, and the belief of Mr. Egan in the one, or the other, are not the texts I should select to prove blasphemy on the Church of Rome. But I might, were I to enter upon such an enquiry, have something to say about the blasphemous nature of the pretentious of the Pope to universal suprem- acy, not only in the Church, but in the State. I might easily leave the political field alone, for I should find more than enough in the ecclesiastical side of the ques- tion to satisfy all enquiry. Were I merely to run through the characters ofthe Homish dignitaries as a test of blasphemy, 1 should have to draw attention to a sink of vileuess and pollution not to befound in the lowest dens of iniquity, either outside, or inside of the Church of modern times. To take them from the ninth age to the days of the Reformation, when the priesthood had full sway, I should have to say in the words of Baronius,a warm advocate for Papal infalli- bility, ” What was then the face of the Ronrish Church? How deformedl When prostitutes no less powerful than vile, bore the chief sway at Rome, and at their pleas- ure changed Sees, appointed bishops, and (which is horrible to mention) did thrust into St. Peter’s See their own gallants, &c., the.” I should have to point out the fact that John the XXIII poisoned his predeces- sor, Alexander the V., and that he denied the immortality of the soul; nor could I avoid mentioning the facts that Leo the X., and that monster of mankind, Alexander the VI., and several Popes were mere Atheists. Imust also refer to Du Pin, a doctor of the Sor-bonne, who says that the Council of Constance deposed John the XXlIl., above referred to, for notorious crimes, proved by witnesses, and owned by himself. such as lewdness, simony, adultery, and a thousand cheats. To take a some- what earlier age, I must mention that Sylverius and Vigilies obtained, in the sixth that century, the Popedom by simony; in the seventh century Honorius the 1., after his death, 'as condemned and anathe- rnatized by the sixth general councrl; that Stephen the Vll , in the ninth century, was expelled from the Popedom for his itn- moralitics. and was imprisoned and strang- led, of whom Baronius says. he entered like a thief, and died. as he deserved, by the rope. Is there anything further required to‘ entitle me to take up that favorite word of Mr. Egan’s, “blasphemy,” and attach it. to the ltomish Church? If there be, I might speak of that vile fraud in which, for mont y, sins might be committed and com- muted known as indulgences. Is this doubted ‘2 What I 'l‘axa Camera: Apostolicnl. the lees of the l’opcs’ chantery, published in a book con- taining the exact sums to be levied for the then is to be said of the, pardon of each particular sin by the olllcers‘ of that Court, such as sacxilege, perjury, ‘ robbing. arson, murder, forging letters apostolieal, 31.0., &c. Shall I go farther? . hall Iplough up that vast field of religious forgeries extending through centuries, per- petrated to impose upon the superstition of the ignomnt, and, as a consequence, gull- ible multitude of a dark and ignorant age? On this 1 might write volumes, every line of which would point out a blasphemy, and how could I fail to speak of a Church that. having setup beliefs based upon those for. geries, is, after they have been discovered and proved to be l'orgeries, still dishonest enough to continue to practice the impos tures for which those frauds were commit- ted. And, perhaps, not the least offence against the dignity of the Almighty that I should point out ofablasphemousnalure, is the invocation of saints and of the Virgin Mary, in substituting an appeal to them instead of to God himself, when he is ready to hear our Supplications in person. I might continue to point out principles and practices of the ltomish Church so diamet- rically opposed to religious truth, before which the most doubtful of the theories of the Reformed Church pale into insignifi- cance. And not the least painful of all circumstances connected with the case is the lamentable fact so strongly put by Span- heim, that " Popery is always the same, in the sixth as in the nineteenth century, its Superstitions admit of no correction.” and I might add, and never will, so long as there is a last cent left to be ground out ofa non-thinking).r community. Cease to make Popei y profitable and that will end it. after he became a Catholic and joined the Church. Tbre can be nothing clearer} than this aduission; and in making it, he‘ must see that [e has acknowledged to being , a. Calvinist. 70 make this clear, it will be recollected the it was after Augustine be- came a Catholic that his controversy with Pelagius tod: place, in which he was sup- ported by the Church, at which time Augustine pronounded his theories as to Grace, Free Will, and Foreordination, &c., which doctrncs subsequently formed the basis, or roo- of the Culvinistic belief. It was establisle as the rule of faith in the Western Chucl. at the Council of Orange in the year 529. Since Mr. Egan, then, acknowledges his belief in St. Augustine he must be a Presbyterian, and us blasphemous as the source of his teaching. St. Augus- tine was a man of low morals in his young days, yet as age grew upon him, he sawâ€" most sincerely sawâ€"the wickedness of such a life, and, :l'ter some years of reflection, in the end became one of the greatest bul- warks of religious truth in the Western Church; no: that all he taught was neces- sarily sound, but he was sincere, and the Church to this day owes him a debt of gratitude‘ Hislate life was a grand one; he became a Christian bishop; was canon- ised by the Church, and Mr. Egan believes in him. I think, sir, in my review of the letters of Mr. Egon to Mr. Percival, though I have by no means exhausted the subject, I have clearly shown the first named gentleman that it is decidedly dangerous for any min- ister 0r priest to brand the religious belief of any branch of the Christian Church that‘ has stood the test of" investigation as Cal-t viu’a teaching: has, as blasphemous; and; especially is it dangerous for a Roman, Catholic priest tc make the attempt in the midst ol‘ a Protestant community. where there is every probability that the public mind is Stitliciently independent ot'the dom- ination of his Church to think for itself. He, it'he be reckless enough to make the :itteianmny expect to find his own dogmas, whit-h enquiry will show to be largely the pollutionsof the craft of ages, severely criticised, and their vileness shown in re- turn. Perhaps I may be pardoned for say- ing that I think Mr. Egan has in this crusade acted nnwisely, for he has ferment- ed a feeling in the neighborhood not favor- able to the See. at St. Peter, and which has led to enquiries and reflections which no doubt he did not anticipate. These reflec- tions may be well timed as coming at an opportune season The season, however, may >qive Protestants an opportunity to inform their Roman Catholic fellow subjects that no hostility exists towards them in the minds of Protestants generally. butter-mm the ltomish priesthood the same feeling: of good will does not. exist. They are looked upon, and deservedly so. with suspicion, as being enemies to the liberties of mankind, for their past. history clearly demonstrates this that. Ilistory declares that their great, aim ever has been, and every etl'ort is still being made by thorn to stifle the natural aspirations of the human mind to higher things than is embraced within their cur- riculum. Public and private thought must , to Snti _\' then), be under their control, and human energies so cultivated that by misnigz ugp ao’em‘ of srqteistitionp as in' the datiâ€"t ages; the whole of humanity can be made subservient to their dictates, and the wealth of every nation (which is by no means by them overlooked) manipulated to their advantage. . . . . .1 Protestants as a body, owing to the en- lightenment received through the free cir- culation of the Gospel'of Christ, and the advancement of knowledge since the Re- formation, would gladly see, and would use their best endeavors to aid all men. without disdnction, to renounce errors that have crippled them, no matter from whence they sprung, and most certainly would they glsdv ly see the Roman Catholics sweep 0t? those fungus growths which for centuries have taken root in his Church, and which have so disfigured, in its hands, that, faith which was once for all in its purity delivered for men’s salvation, but which is now under the control of the priest, no longer recog- nizable. Roman Catholics have been trained to place their iutellects in the hands of any man who, under the guise of being a descendant of the apostles, will find it to his interests to fill their minds with the many impostures and blasphemies attached to a system passing under the name of religion. Such thoughts lead us to ask, when will men know it. to be their duty to exercise the intellect which God has given them, and, for the use of which, they are alone accountable ? When will men insist upon thinking for themselves, and treasure as a jewel aboVo price, the words of the poet, who says “It is a base abandonment of reason to resign our right of thought, our last. and only place of refuge ?" Before closing my review of Mr. Egan’s letters, I. wish to say a few parting words as to the Jesuits. They are an order of the Roman Catholic communion which now holds the governing power in that Church. The character of that body is intensely ag- gressive and grasping, and in all its move- ments its principles are formed upon the end sanctifying the means. Every move that is made by it is insidious and crafty, nor is there any country too distant. and but few that are too savage for its invasion, Europe, India, China, Japan, Russia Asia. Persia, and the American continent, from Cape Born to the Arctic Ocean, are all regions which have echoed to the Jesuit’s tread, and where his bones have found a lonely sepulchre. He was a sanctified machine put in motion by his General. At the present time England and the American continent are the principal fields of his operations. His interference on this con- tinent is to be found everywhere, and he is working his way with, such rapid strides, and has become so aggressive that, sooner or later, it will be the old struggle of the Reformation renewed. The Jesuitinllucnce is penetrating into our Government, and our educational institutions, which are their strong holds, and gradually, little by little, so as not, to attract notice,nre they worming their way to a complete domination thereof. It therefore becomes the duty of every honest minded man to loolt about him and watch his representatives in the Legislative Hulls. There must be no uncertain nound uttered. Members of the respective Parlia- ments must cease to pander to, and bid for Catholic support; for there must be no abandonment ot'even an atom of our long chelishetl and natural rights. but equal laws for all, both Protestant and Catholic, must he the governing principle. This, Reformer and Conservative alike, must be made to understand, and to this and liberal minded toman Catholics will, without doubt, lend their aid as being to their best interests. When I entered upon n review of the letters of Mr. ngnn in the Percival-Egan controversy, I did so that he may have thrown back at him, through his own Church. that nngenérous and foul slander which he, in so haughty a manner, thought proper to heap upon the Calvinistic Faith when he termed it hlasphemous. I have succeeded in showing him that not only is the doctrine of Predcstination not blas- phemous, as he has lepresented it to be, but on the contrary. it is reasonable, and that no sane man can (in other than respect it [also have shown the Rev. gentleman the folly of throwing stones by those who live in glass houses. and that, if there be any blasphemous Church in existence, it is that Church which has assumed universal supremncv; that has traflickell in sin by selling them at a oertnin price; set up saints and virgins in lieu of the Creator; compromised sins by creating' a purgatory; und imposed an untrue belief on the w0rid hy craft. and deception. In doing this] have accomplished all I intended. With thanks then, air, for your courtesy, Markham, July 31, '89 I mm, &c., GEORGE TOMLINSON An Old Favorite.
