OUlM ORAINO HAI/IH.

Presently there area a tap nt tho
door and a sentry stoixl without, his
musket upright at "present humps.”

president
'Tlhait's whnt wo -want to know, sir.

which are no doubt of tho greatest use
to such a climbing animal. On the an

DENOUNCED THE A. P. A.
An Episcopal Clergyman on the Anti-
Cathollo Organization,
(Rev. E. L, riSoddsrd, rector of Bt.
John's Free Episcopal dhurch In Sum
mit avenue, Jersey City, hus made a
vigorous protest ngaiust tiho A. P. A.
Ho says:
“I have heard from several quarters
that there Is elbout to bo started tn
J.-iwy City a (branch of tlie A. P. A.
If this be true, I desire to raise A pro
test ugalnst Uhls new calamity about

goods men. is It possible shat we are
to ibo olfilcted with thia now plague?
"We baUeve the A. P. A. to be the

present ventury. We believe it to be

hfbco a bigotry nnd fanatlotsm over
which even Russia ought to blush and

•The A. P. A. spirit ts the old Puri

and two hundred years behind the
time.
"The tides of conspiracy on the part
ot Catholics .with tnU the A. P. A.

been proved false time and again.

treason upon our 10,000,030 Catholic
•brethren, to accuse them of undermin
ing our institutions and seeking to

eign pontiff, would, if h were not bo
grossly -maKcious, be foctff for derlelve
kilighter among the Olympian gods.
"I write ugdlnst any attempts to
raise amnoR us a war of sects,
gious omokmaocse and strife and hatred
among dlfferenf followers. of Jesus
Christ. ^ ^
"i denounce the tales by which it
sought to excite thia strife oa untrue.
1 go further and say that If the A. P.
A. coUil succeed in driving Catholi
cism out of one of our great cities the
spiritual life of the city would be
langtfly paralyzed. It Is Bald that wo
have 60,000 Catholics In Jersey City.
Suppose there ore but 40,000, and that
this modern bigotry could close every
2toman Catholic church, every paro-
chlal echooi and drive out every priest
and every Sl«t«r of Charity, what
should we Protestants do with theeo
40,000 men, women and children? Blind
er tham moles unust we he if we fill? to
see .that over them their religion exerts
a most .wholesome restraint. What have
we to offer them should their church be
taken away? 'Have we room for half
of them Jn our churches? Would we
luxuriant Protestant parsons let them
In even if they wanted to come? I trow
not. Could we expect them, accustomed
to <tho warm, emotional, perhaps we
would say too human religious pomp
and worship of Rome, to sit down on
our Protestant benches and gaze at
our bftitnk walls and listen to one of
our doctrinal sermons? Whjr, It takes
Che labor of Hercules to get our prot*
eater)t poor people to come to church
without drums, Sunday concerte and
mission praying bonds.
"I doubt If the A. P. A. leaders have
any Idea of the work done by the
priests of the Romm church to In
struct, restrain and 11ft up their people.
We speak of the sacrifices of the Sal
vation Army, but forgot that the priests
of Rome have done that sort of work
for 1,000 years or more. We speak ol
the devotion of the army laodes In
going after the <flafllen, and let us give
them ntl due praise; but do not forget
the tons of thousands of Catholic Sis
ters of Charity who have done the
same work for centuries. If the A. P.
A. wishes to know what tho Roman
church 1» to Us people lot them Btand
at The corner of Bramfhn.il nnd Ocean
avenue* and see the people go to
church. Do they think It wise to at
tempt to destroy a religion which
brings out such devotion, or that they
could do it If they tried?
"The danger to this country la not to
come from Roman Catholicism, hut
from ’fanfldelfty, from a luxurious mate-

Housekeepers Want tho Best Food,'
What Scientists say:
Prof. Arnold of the University cf
Now York: “I consider that each and
every ingredient of oleomargarine but
ter or butterine is perfectly pure nnd
wholesome, that tho oleomargarine
butter differs in no essential manner
from tho butter made from cream. It
is a great discovery, a blessing for tho
poor, in every way a perfectly pure,
wholesome and palatable article.
Stiver Churn Butterino is prepared
especially for fine tablo use. Every de
tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re
cent chemical experiments show that
in nutritive and digestive properties
Silver Churn Butterino is fully equal to
tho best creamery butter; while iu
keeping quality Silver Churn Butterino
is much superior.
