M any men whose names will be iu the annals of the American republic, have riien to eminence by their own unaided ef¬ forts. Indt-e 1 in this and other countries, a large per cent, of the men whose dcodb have immortalized them, have come up fiom poverty and obscurity. Every school boy knows of Ben Franklin the poor printer boy-tlie defender of Ins coun¬ try’s libertiei-tbe sage and philoso¬ pher whose name is honored through¬ out the civilized world. Robert Burns can oiled his sweetest lays wiiile following the plow, and the ) author ot the “Horae Sweet Home” that is sung wherever civilized man has been, never ltad a home. Among American presidents we remember our Taylors Filhnoores Lincolns 5 Jack sons and many" others reared in pov*. erty, who rose by industry and per" severance to the highest place with¬ in ttie gift of the greatO'fc republic on earth. Aud 1 have sometimes ’ thought that poverty is a blessing in as much as it leads to effort that ' might not otherwise be made. This week I have selected as my subject, tiic life of a man who was born and and reared in the humblest circum¬ stances. I w ant to impress the poo 1 , but intelligent hoys of this county, with the idea that noemolumentwitb in the gift of this country is beyond their reach.

Doctrines that it has never taught, crimes it has abhoied, have been laid at the door of 'lie Roman Catholic church. Both ignorance and rnid.ee have been prime factors in promulgating these errors and w tongs. Unfortunately for peace and harmony among mankind, a large per com. of the religious* bodies this earth can find nothing good of their own faith, and are to attack every belief that is lo their own.

They have the plains of the Ganges, the shores of North America, Corea the farthest Pacific islands, and the Cape of Good Hope. is no point on tbe earth, no in the mighty waste of wa¬ where npestles of the Catholic have not been. All the world the groat work Catholic hospitals, charitable institu¬ etc., have done towards edu- ntl civilizing humanity. we will not forget that it was generosity ot Spain’s Catholic that furnished means tor expeditions which led to the dis¬ of a new world. I mention things simply ns evidence to that the church is to le-pectful hearing. It has chaiged that it is a church crime bloodshed and fraud; that hundred and twenty-f’ve millions human beings on ear it wor- :mages adore the Blessed Virgin ad other saints, buy indulges, that licente for committing sin, belie- r e Hope incapable of wrong ;and other doctrines equally erron- have bfeu charged to the Ro- church. The rarest paintings aud statues of Christ the Blessed Virgin and the saints are found in Catholic churches and homes, They are paid the reverence and uo more that we give to pictures of our departed relatives and friends, We are not to be called image worshippers because we tenderly cherish the picture of a ni 'tlur or a father. No more are Catholics to be called im*ge worsl ippevs because their c u 1;. s and liomes are adorned with the paintings of men and vo- men v’hoaie honored for their many virtues and whose lives the church endeavors to perpetuate in her chib then; and it is chiefly for this reason that the ehmch encourages, the u-. of sacred pictures. Surely we are n0 « to p 0 caked image worshippers ^ e j n Georgia because we erect monuments o our great men. Unly a tew years a*j;o at the unveiling of the Ben Hi 1 monument : .n Atlanta, I remember that heads were uncover¬ ed and there was a flutteringof white haudkerchiefs.as the magrificent fig¬ ure of Hill stood unveiled. The people were not honoring senseless ma'bie, but the memory ot the man it represented. Go into om state and national capitals and you whl find pictures of the great men of thi~ "epublic from the time ot Washing¬ ton down to the present day.
