IWISHES ALL Supplement to “The York" Herald.” THE Richmond Hill, Ont, Thursday, Dec. 26th, 1889. WM. FLEMING. Thefollowing are questions put to Bishops Doyle and Murray, by a Committee of the British Parliament. in 1825, with the an- swers to them :~(T0 Bishop Doyle.) "You were educated in Portugal ?” "Yes I” Did you ever see in Portugal any translation of the Scriptures into the vulgar tongue. vwhether allowed or not?” “ No, I did not.” (To Bishop Murray.) "You were educated in Salamancn?” “I was.” "Can you give any information as to any authen- ticated version of the Scriptures into the Spanish language ” "I did hear that there was aSpanish version of the Holy Scrip- tures; but I do not happen to know the fact.” “ Have the Scriptures any practical circulation in the vulgar tongue in Spain?” “ They had not then.” “have the people seen the Scriptures in a. language they could understand ?" “I believe they were not generally read by the people.” "Do you imagine that any material portion of the people have so much as seen the Scrip- tures in a language they could understand?” "I do not know that they have.” No wild Indian ever looked with greater glee on the sufferings of his enemy whom he was torturing. than that with which Fu- ther Egan speaks of people making of Protestant Bibles, "gun wads and wrapping paper and other purposes for which its leaves come handy," “ cigar lighters.” and fire kindlers.” How he would rejoice to sees bonfire of Protestant Bibles! Yet there is not much difl'erence between Ro- man Catholic and Protestant Bibles Father Egan does not, however, seem to know that. It is not at all likely that he has ever compared them. As I have al- ready said. if he truly loved the Bible, he would not speak of the Protestant one as he does. The good Father calls Luther, “the father and founder of Protestantism.” Protestants find their Church where Father Egan looks in vain for hisâ€"in the Bible. The Waldenses, who really are Protestants. were in being four hundred years, if not more, before Luther was born. His Rev- erence quotes Luther’s words, C’altmmiarc audaciter semper (illiquid haeret, which he translates “Slander boldly. something will always stick.” This he makes a command or a counsel of Luther’s. it is neither the one nor the other. Calumnia're is not “slander.” the imperative, but "to slander," the infinitive. Luther, no doubt, refers to a maxim of his enemies. [challenge the Father to quote these words of Luther in their connection. He will not. He had not. a word to say for himself, whenI proved thathe had misquoted the Scottish National Covenant. He himself is a be- liever in the maxim which he ascribes to Luther, about “standering boldly.” 'l‘he Bibles written by hand, of which Father Egan boasts so much, were, ac- cording to his own admission, "scarce and costly and in the possession of only few persons.” Fora long time, it was much the same with printed Bibles. Dr, Sillery, of Steeven’s Hospital, Dub- lin, swanâ€"“The smallest price I ever found a Bible at, in Italy, was thirty francs up to seven or eight pounds. I enquired ifI could get permission to print Martini's text only. and found I could not." This was when the Pope ruled in Italy. “great swelling words” of the care which his Church lakes of the Bible, Yes. as much as she can, she heals it as a loving mother treats what she knows to be a poi- son, which is in the way of her child. The forgoing quotations prove that, as T have already said where the Church of Home has most of her own way ; the Bible is least. known. Father Egun speaks with The Church of Rome puts in We list of prohibited booksâ€"commonly (alled the In- dex Expurgatoriusâ€"even her own versions of the Bible, if they have not also her notes. Father Eganâ€"iudging from his utter- ancesâ€" can truly say that his views regard- ing reading the Bible, exactly agree with Dr. Logan’s. " Will anybody be so bold as to assert that no one outside of the Israelilic people could come too knowledge of the truths of salvation ?” I will, and millions along with me. I believe in the following declar- ation of. my Church : "Although the light of nature; and the works of creation and Providence, do so far manifest the good- ness, wisdom,‘ and power of God, as to (M. F.)â€"‘°Are we to read the scrip- tures ‘2” (Dr. L.)â€"â€"“ No l” (M. F.)-â€"“ If we read them with raver-- ence and awe 'I” ’ (Dr. L.)â€"No !" (M. F.)-â€"“ If we read them with sinceri-- ty and humility?” (Dr. L )â€"'- No I" (M. F.)â€"“ If we read them with note and comment?” (Dr. L.)â€"“No I " (M. F.)_-“ If we read them in the Spirit of prayer ? ” His Reveren'ce says that the Old Testa- ment was written for the people of Israel. It was designed for the use of the Cuurcb to the end of time. “(55.”wa ' . them], ) No, you can pray without Sm.-The following conversation took place in 1827. between Michae‘l Farrelly, Inspector of Irish Schools, and Dr. Logan, R. C. Bishop of Menlh :â€" BONBON FOR FA‘ZHER EGAN. @mmnmmmfimm Father-Egan shys, “Nowhere has God ever made the readings of the Bible obli- gatory upon anybody. Neither Moses. nor any ofthe Prophets, nor the Synagogue, nor Christ, nor the Apostles have ever pro- mulgated n. law to that eflect.” Here he shows gross ignorance of the Bible. Yet he calls himself a Minister of Christ. In his language jnst quoted, he plainly, just follows some Romish writer. The Syna- gogue was not inspired, yet Father Egan puts it on a level with Christ and the in- spired writers. There is, however. one thing of which I shall speak before closing. Father Egan has said a great deal about errors in Pro- testant Bibles. The Council of Trent made the Vulgate, which is only a translation, the authoritative standard. Sixtus V. re- vised and published itwith the greatest care in 1590, cursing everyone who should find fault with it. Yetit was found "to abound with errors.” His successor. Clement VIII, not. fearing the curse of his infallible pre- decessor, published a new edition in 1593. Uf course he, in his turn, would curse every- one who should find fault with it. Dr. James reckons two thousand instances in which the two editions differ. Lucas Bru- gensis reckoned four thousand defects in the Clementineâ€"the corrected one. Carâ€" dinal Bellurmine, who had a leading part in the publications of these editions. wrote to Brugensis. that those concerned had in- tentionally passed over many mistakes. It is. certainly, a curious thing to find faulty work done by infallible men. Surely, if Popes ever spoke ex cathedra, it was when those just named commanded the faithful to receive their editions of the Vulgate. The Apostles, the first preachers of the Gospel. were endowed with the Spirit of God {or this rugreat work. God enabled them to work miracles to prove that they were sent by Him. See Mark 16,-20; Heb. 2,-4. There am no successors of them as such now. They are not needed. Christ says that those who would not hear Moses and the prophets, would not have believed though one had risen from the dead The same is true of those'who will not be lieve Him and Bis Apostles, speaking in the Scriptures. "Neither pray I for those alone. but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word.”vJohu 17,-20. Want of space prevents me from going fully into this subject. I must again say "To be continued,” as I cannot in this article finish my review of Father Egan on "The Catholic Church and the Bible.” But Ishall add, “to be coleluded in my next.” WAR IN CHINA.â€"Yes, war.

HOLLown’s Ommsnr AM) PILLS.-â€"Old Sores, Wound. and Ulcersâ€"The readiness with which Hollowsy's unguent removes all observations in the circulation of the vesâ€" sels and lymphatics explains their irresis- tible influence in healing old sores, bad wounds. and indolent ulcers. To insure the desired effect the skin surrounding the diseased part should be fomented, dried and immediutely well rubbed with the Ointment. This willgive purity to the foul blood, and strength to the weakened nerves, the only conditions necessary for the cure of all those ulcerations which render life almost intolerable. No sooner is this Ointment’s protective power exerted than the destruc- tive processes ceases and the constructive business beginsâ€"new, healthy growth appears to fill up the lately painful exca- vated pit. . lleave men inexcusable; yet they are not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of His Will, which is necessary unto salvation.” (West Con. of Faith. chap. 1. sec. 1] If men can be saved without the Bible, of what use is it? Men shnll be judged according to the light which they have hud. Paul says “As many as have sinned without law, shall also perish with- out law.”-Homnns 2,-12. There is a good deal of truth. though it is mixed with error, in the following words of the late Archbishop Lynch: “God is a good Father and will punish those who had not the ad- vantage of knowing His Holy Will. If these persons keep the laws of God written on their‘own consciences by nature herself, and do the best they know, God will be merciful to them. But how few will do this. unaided by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; hence the necessity of sending to those people missionaries to preach to them the true doctrines of Christ. and to administer to them Baptism, and the other ‘ Sacraments instituted by our Divine Re-‘ deemer for especial help to salvation.” Father Egan’s Church commands all her members to confess. in leasr, once a year. How can infants, idiots, dumb persons who can neither write, nor speak by signs; or those like Alexander Selkirk on the island of Juan Fernandez, confess? Elder's Mills, ()nt. ‘Exw 10K We have it oti unquestionable authority â€"the testimony of patients themselvesâ€" that rheumatism. however deeply seated, may be cured by the regular and persistent application of Holloway’s Ointment. This, we feel assured, will be welcome intelligence to thousands ot'sufl'erers, bedâ€"ridden by the disease, or limping with stiffened joints along the pathway to the tomb. In a eli- mate where the quicksilver sometimes makes a leap of thirty degrees up or down, the complaint is of coure a prevalent one ; and in our new settlement at the West, along the alluvial borders of our great rivers. in the hemlock swamps ot' the South, and in all low and damp locations, few persons reach the age of ferty years without a rheu- matic visitation. It is clear. thereforeJhat a preparation which will afi'ord immediate relief, and effect eventually a thorough cure of the complaint, must be of special value to the people of all countries. We cannot reasonably doubt. in view of the well-at- tested statements which have been laid be- fore us, sustained as they are by circum- stances within our now knowledge, thrt the Ointment referred to will effect that object; and among all the benefits which the dis- coveries of that celebrated physician and philanthropist have conferred upon manâ€" 'kind, this is certainly not the least impor- tant. Many an industrious tiller of the soil. whose services are needed in the field. is at this moment. languishing on a bed of sick- ness ; the hands that should guide the. plough or grasp the spade rendered power- less by Rheumatism. Many a toiler in every branch of productive labour is similarly situated; and we can imagine with whatjoy these sufferers would hail the means of im- mediate cure. To all such we feel justified in recommending this balsamic remedy, the application of which, with the aid of a few doses of Holloway’s Pills to regulate the internal organs, would, we feel assured, re- store them to health and usefulnessâ€"Daily Argus.

To do this is [he work of Bur- dock Blood Bitters, a. medicine which al- ways cures dyspepsia, bail blood and all complaints of a similar origin. " Don’t talk to me about. your political " isms."’ said a fucetious old valetudinarian. “I tell you there’s no ism on earth so bad as Rheumatism.” The venerable sufferer wasiright. St. Lawrence’s gridiron or Quati- mozin’s pallet of fire was not more em- phatically a bed of torment than the couch of the martyr to rheumatism. It is gen- erally considered by the faculty one of the most obstinate as well as one ofthe most painful of maladies, and is certainly does resist all ordinary remedies with extraordi- nary pertinacity.
