GOD IN government:
WITH A PRELUDE ON THE MiSSION
OF THE PAPAL DELEGATE.
God Works by Means, Leaving Each Man
a Tree Agent, So Even tiio VCnrst Rulers
Are His Unconscious Instruments—Our
Government an Ordinance,
New York, Feb. 12.—Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr., preached the sermon of the
morning at Association hall today by a
review of current events devoted to the
appointment of Archbishop Satolli, a
prominent apostolic delegate for the
Catholic church in America. He said;
The situation within the Catholic
church in America has been growing
more and more critical for the past 10
years. Upon the surface there was uni¬
ty. Beneath the surface there has been
waging an inexpressible conflict between
two determined factions. One of these
contending parties represents the liberal
and progressive spirit in theology, devotion and
is imbued with patriotic to
America and American institutions: The
other has represented the reactionists,
traditionalists and foreign ideals.
The liberal party has sought to adjust
the ecclesiastical workings of the church
to a harmonious life with American
thought and ideals. The traditionalists
have sought to array the church against
the new world ideals. This faction, led
and animated by men hostile in tradition
and training to everything American,
have sought by every possible means to
destroy tho free school system, on which
the very foundations of the republic
rest. They have sought to suppress ag¬
gressive thought with the priesthood.
They silenced Lambert, excommuni¬
cated McGlynn and drove Burtsell into
the country.
And they were preparing to precipi¬
tate the Catholic church into a bitter
war of a politico-religious character over
the school question, which could have
ended only in overwhelming disaster for
their church, for the free school of
America is intrenched behind tho con
science, the reason, the heart and the
muscle of the nation.
Linked with this was the attempt to
force foreign languages, customs, ideals
and foreign priests upon American fields.
Upon this scene of confusion and im¬
pending, disaster, with dramatic empha¬
sis, the voice of the pope himself is sud
denly heard, and it is V . -. vd to some
purpose.
Deo XIII has show’ll himself in many
actH in Fears to he the greatest
/. 7^
its position as frierfi > and em
perors back to the C. me ideal of the
friend of tlie common people. Upon the
great social issues of the age ho has
spoken with the voice of a true prophet.
In nothing has he more signally dis¬
played his profound wisdom and the
broad sympathies of a really Catholic
eoul than in his handling of this Ameri¬
can crisis.
Though he had excommunicated Dr.
McGlynn, and the doctor had been a
most grievous sinner against “author¬
ity” for years, tho pope reverses a hun¬
dred precedents, goes out of his way and
loads back with his own hand the wan¬
dering jiriest into the fold.
He proceeds further to outline a policy
on the school question that must result
in bringing the Catholic church into per¬
fect harmony with the spirit of our in¬
stitutions. He has saved us from a long
and bitter controversy fraught with cer¬
tain disaster to the Catholic church and
peril for the nation. lie has pointed tho
way to a loyal American Catholic church.
He has shown that Gibbons and Ireland
are the men who embody his conceptions
of true progress in our nation—in short,
he has pronounced emphatically in fa vor
of “America for the Americans” in the
government of the church. Upon the
establishment of Satolli in Washington
upon such a platform our people are to
ho congratulated. The American Cath¬
olics may well rejoice in the dawm of a
brighter day, and intelligent Protes¬
tantism will join in that rejoicing. May
God hasten the day when all religious
hatreds and wars shall end in a fraternal
rivalry to outdo each other in doing good,
in the Christlike worship of God—the
Bervice of man.
NATIONAL HISTORY A DIVINE REVELA¬
TION.
And he made of one every nation of men for
to dwell on ail the face cf 1 »:c earth, having de¬
termined their apj minted seasons and the
bounds of their habitation.—Acts xvii, 2ti.
The recent death of so many of the his¬
toric figures of this nation brings into
sharp emphasis the fact that God is opo:i
ing a imw chapter in the history of a na
tion. These historic figures have stoo l
through their generation for a period of
by the future historian. The removal of
these men from the scene of action em¬
phasizes with even a stronger distinct¬
ness the fact that new men in a new era
with a new life must henceforth make
the history of our nation.
General Sherman v v Hit. "When a
friend spoke to him of falling gencr
als, one by one, and expn d wonder
what they would do if a cites should
arise, he replied: “My f i nd, if a crisis
should arise, 1 would not lead the armies
of the nation. Younger men, with newer
life, would rise with the new’ generation
and lead and direct.” God has brought
our nation through this epoch in a most
marvelous manner and for some marvel¬
ous end. The old regime is passing, and
a new life is dawning for the nation.
ST. PAUL’S MESSAGE.
Paul, an embassador of the kingdom
of God, stands on this occasion before a
nation. They took him to the Acropolis
.—to the center of the life of Athens—and
the representatives of the Greek people
gaid, “Tell us your message.” And Paul
spoke to tho nation, and through that
na ti 0 n to all nations, a divine message.
JTf was Paul ' s messase t0 the na '
ticmxt
-The message is clearly this: the
First—That God reveals himself in
history of nations. God reveals himself
in my soul by that inner light through
his spirit and through nature. Paul
CONYERS, GEORGIA SATURDAY FEB. 11 1893.
said to those Athenians, “In him you
live and move and have year being.”
God also manifests himself through the
history of nations, whose boundaries he
has marked out, whose seasons he has
appointed. Every nation’s history is a
revelation of God unto men.
He has revealed himself in the past.
This Bible is the history of Isra^—the
history of a nation for 1,600 years, with
all their sins and wickedness and short¬
comings and rebellion; the history of
their great men—-of their saints, their
heroes, their martyrs and prophets; the
history of men who were renegades and
belied their trust and were cast out. It
is the impartial record of God’s dealing
with a nation. Israel was a chosen na¬
tion, and God inspired the nation as a
nation. We have our Bible an infallible
Bible because God chose and inspired
and led a nation, and out of that nation
brought the Son of Man.
There * is no such thing as accounting
for the history of Israel, save that the
God of heaven and earth chose that na¬
tion. It comes as a stream through, all
history, with a history all its own, flow¬
ing .down through empires that towered
in sublimity around it and yet un¬
touched by them; flowing by the very
base of the Assyrian throne and yet on¬
ward and onward, through 1,000 years,
until at last Jesus, the Son of Man,
emerged from that stream of history,
and the race was scattered.
THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL.
God chose a nation as the vehicle of a
Divine revelation, and he chose the na¬
tions around to bear a part ffn it. He
chose the Assyrian nation as his saw and
ax and flame, through which to free his
own chosen people, and when the king
of Assyria made his proud boast before
the prophet of God the prophet said:
“You have laid the city waste, but you
are nothing. You are the instrument of
God’s hand, and God is going to con¬
sume his own people and uses you as the
flame with which to do it. But after
the scourge a remnant will remain, and
that remnant will be his people, through
whom he will work out his design and
purpose. But in the process you will bo
ground to powder.” So Assyria played
her part in the role of nations, in that
grand, drama God had planned for the
race.
The history of every empire’s rise and
fall is a divine chapter of the book of
I relation. Go back and stand before
X vo and Sidon, as in their pride and
g'.t.ry they mastered the commerce of
f. v. rid, and hear the prophet as he
• 1 : % of them and their future. Go
. .rid hear'ths sad waves washing on
the slior j of that sea, silent, deserted,
even the ruins covered by tho sands of
centuries, inhabited not even by bats and
owls—a wild stretch of desolation. In
tho history of Tyro and Sidon you will
find written - the eternal law of the tri¬
umph of righteousness in the history of
mankind.
Stand before Babylon in her pride and
glory, with her matchless army and her
monarch, master of tho civilisation of
the age, and hear the revelry within,
and then hear the shrieks of women and
children- and men as their blood flows
like water and the city is swept with the
bassoon of destruction, and Babylonian
civilization falls never to lise again.
Hear the howl of the wild beasts among
her palaces now, where kings and nobles
once reveled, and you will find that tho
plumb line of God’s righteousness fell
over those walls, and they were found
wanting.
Bead the story of Greece, of her rise
and progress and fall, of her brilliant
era of civilization, of her artiets and
men of letters, and read the story,of her
slavery and decline and the wrath of
God that abides on unrighteousness.
Read again the history of tho seven hilled
city, in all her glory and pride, long
ages spent in her development, until it
was mistress of the world, and then con¬
trast the introduction of the follies and
extravagances and sins and dispensation
of the age of slavery, and of gold, and
of power, and read again of Goth and
Vandal, who, from a foreign nort 1 -,
swept down and obliterated anck...
Borne. In every rise and fall of empire,
read tho edict of tho Most High God, re¬
vealing himself unto man.
GOD WORKS BY MEANS.
Come down to modern history, and it
is the same. God in nations? Yes. Bead
the history of the Arab in Africa and
find there even God following the track
of a slave trader over that wild African
continent. The language of the Arab
slave trader is the only universal lan¬
guage there, and now they have trans¬
lated the Bible into it—the only lan¬
guage that can penetrate the darkness
of the continent. So God has chosen
them as instruments through which He
might save a continent.
So through the history of the English
and American nations. England in her
greed and rapacity seizes empire after
empire. But we look now on the shift¬
ing scenes, and out from it all there
seems to come God’s plan of a language
universal, of an empire universal, on
whose soil his sun will never set, and
whose men and women, reared in happy
homes, taught in reverence of the Most
High God, shall carry the cross of Christ
to the utmost limits of the earth, until
his civilization and home and altar and
God shall be the inspiration of a world.
So God has led in the past in the develop¬
ment of that nation.
So he has led your own nation in
Americans© he is guiding and develop¬
ing today. The history of America is a
history of a series of providences. If it
had not been for the almighty inter¬
ference of God, this nation would have
been no nation at all. If ever God
formed and fashioned a nation, he did
this one, and laid its foundations, and
watched over its people in their long
straggle with the mother country, that
at last they should build unto him some¬
thing higher and nobler and better and
teach all the earth. God has revealed
himself in the history of nations, says
Paul to these Athenians. National his¬
tory is a method of divine revelation.
He would tell those people:
Second—That nationality is a Divine
ordinance; that God has appointed their
bounds and their seasons. It is not an ac¬
cident, but that it is a chosen instru-
ment in the hand of an eternal God for
working out the salvation of tho world.
V Ivme ordinance—because nation
anty .. ordinance of life. God has
is an
caused in the past the development of in
umduahty that the human race might
attain in its breadth and scope the
est possibilities.
CHRISTIANITY IS PATRIOTIC.
1 believe that patriotism is a religions
sentiment ; that tho man who doe.s not
lovo his country does not love God—
is not -a true Christian. Tho highest
sweep of patristism is of tho very spirit
of the living God. Ho who truly loves
his country loves it as a part of God’s
great world—not as against all the world
—because it is part of his inheritance
from the Great Father.
Race and national hatreds are thus
virtues overaecentuated. They only need
to be toned down to the plane of a
rational, fraternal rivalry, for man to
attain the noblest tilings.
I believe in a vigorous nationalism be¬
cause I believe nationality is a Divine
ordinance. I like to see a German who
believes in the fatherland, in his country
and people, in his nation. I believe in a
Frenchman who believes in Franco, and
am afraid of a. Frenchman who does not
believe in France. I believe in an Eng¬
lishman who believes in England. I be¬
lieve in a Briton who believes in the
great empire, and as his individuality is
accentuated he has attained tho very
highest and truest and noblest propor¬
tions of manhood.
For the same reason I believe in; an
American who is an American, who is
not half and half, a cros3 between what
has become obsoloto in England and Wh at
ought to have bcenobsolete hero years and
years that lias ago. character I believe and in force a nationalism and
man¬
hood and power, even with its idiosyn¬
crasies and provincialisms. I fcelievo it
is God’s ordinance. When a foreigner
comes and joins a nation, ho ought to
belong to the nation, not to that which
ho has deserted. I believe, then, that
every man who makes America his home
should bo an American. Il ! lie is in
France, let him bo a Frenchman; if in
Germany, a German. But When ho
draws ids heart’s blood from America
let him be American, and if he is not lie
has failed to understand one of God’s or¬
dinances.
If worthy to stan d in the galaxy of na¬
tions God has cho. n, it is worthy of the
highest support. I despise with con¬
tempt supreme the man who is an
American that will got down in the dirt
and crawl before an effete European
civilization because it is foreign. 1
believe that it is an indication of t fatal
weakness that is so contemptible that
God is as sure to stamp it out of exist¬
ence, with the men who thus crawl, as
that in the history at this world that
which is fit.rived.
1 do not 1) j in an nnglomaniac liv
ing in Ame u German as Gorman
living in A . in Frenchman as
Frenchman L. ; in America. I be¬
lieve in God’s efi .co of tho nation as a
nation, and I believe ho has chosen this
nation for some purpose. Therefore 1 be¬
lieve in its flag and institutions, in its Di¬
vine call, for ho In called it to do what
ho has called no other nation to do, and
that therefore every man within its bor¬
ders should stand for tho holiest princi¬
ples for which it was founded.
Tho difficulty is, in some of tho fairest
days we fail to see the' dangers that may
thus undermine the nation’s life. In the
valley of Charnouni they had built those
little cottages centuries ago. In perfect
safety they had lived. The sun was fair;
nature smiled. They were lulled into a
sense of security because nothing had
happened eo far. But hack upon those
fair mountain sides, through the cen¬
turies of the past, there had been slowly
at work forces that on a day of tho fair¬
est sun and the brightest light loosed
the avalanche that came crashing down
and engulfed those homes with all that
they held—with all their hopes and joys.
I believe that it behooves a nation iu
her fairest day thus to watch, thus with
the utmost care to see that beneath the
surface there may not be a power that
perhaps is undermining that which is
essential to i1 s life perpetuity.
CIVIL GOVERNMENT A DIVINE ORDINANCE.
God lias called you to teach the na¬
tions of this world something real—
called you to lead them in the develop¬
ment of a world’s liberties. I saw tho
the other day where the prime minister
of Spain went into the room of the king,
a littlo fellow 6 years old. They had
taken him with a triumphal procession
through the nation, and they fired so
many guns that it made the little boy
sick. And the prime minister came in
the morning to see his majesty and
ask, in his offhand way, “How-is Al
phonsito this morning?” Tho littlo fel¬
low drew himself up and looked at him
and said, “To my mamma I am Alphon
sito, but to you I am tbe king.”
Think of a little fellow onlj’ C years
old—and that great, strong man, with
his big brain, staggering back out of tlie
room and covering his head in shame.
Yet there be people who would seek with
the utmost servility to bow down to that
which should have been history in the
past because it belongs to another world.
God has called you to lead tho world in
citizen kingship in the great role of fra¬
ternal equality and fraternal manhood.
Let every American, then, believe in his
nation as a Divine ordinance. God has
chosen you for a (purpose and is leading
you today and revealing himself to the
world through you. said;
Then Paul said another thing. He
Third^The true nation will be tbe
family group of an international brother¬
hood. Listen: “God hath made of one
every nation of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth.” One heart, one
father, one life, one bond that should
bind all together round a common home¬
stead—a true nation, a family group
around a central heart and life.
The riches of all the earth belong to
me and to you. God hath made oi one-—
ownership of the earth is thus universal.
Because I am God’s I have a joint own¬
ership cf all this world, and so I need
not confine myself to loving one little
spot of earth. There are beautiful moun¬
tains down in my native state, the high- j
egt and fairest east of the Rockies, hut I
tho'Alps as well. They are mine. I
look with amazement on ail I hate st on
of beauty and glory. Whetlnr in
yv-.-si England or tho i.uo'Tlaud of Ger
lU sunlit rmv, or whether in Franco, with her
bills, or Italy, with her beautiful
sites, or far awe.--.- r.y in Africa, with her
wild forests and Mount ains of tho Moon,
it is God's work, - and I am his, and
they belong to mo, because they ara part
of tho race inheritance. So in’history—
their heroes and martyrs—they belong to
me. I have a. right to them.
f'or that reason justice and love must
rule at last between nations. We are
bound together by common bonds that
cannot separate us if wo try. Tho glories
of England and France and Germany
are mine. 1 thank the tradesman who
spreada his eastern rug on my floor, who
brings bis wares from tlio far east to
make niy home bright and beautiful. I
love thus every nation, because every
tion contributes to mv happiness and
life and my share of this world’s beauty
and good. All that the other nations have
done is my inheritance. You could
sepnrato with a war the glory of England
from the glory of this nation. Shake
speare is mine. Goethoisminc. Theglor
ies of Gorman science are mine. The glory
of her musicians as they have swept the
keys of God’s harmonies and translated
them that human cars might hear—they
:uv my inheritance. Tho glories of Italy,
as she has given to the world tiio
letters of the alphabet of art—they are
mine. Tho glories of Franco—all that
sho has wrought in science and literature
and art and statesmanship and philan
thropy—they are mine. All.the glories
of these countries are mine, because they
belong to the common heritage of tho
race,
GOD IS BRINGING REFORM.
Then let the old regime pass away.
May God hasten the day when the indi¬
vidual accentuation which men have
striven for in the past shall giro place to
tho new ora, that shall mean solidarity
of tho race. 'When nations shall bo
bound as family groups around the heart
of the g ... God, bound in church, in
society, in commerce, in all the essential
elements that make up the sum total >f
a people’s life and history—yes, it is a
glorious dream, a world’s federation.
It was the dream of Christianity, it was
the dream of Christ. And he who seeks
to bring that kingdom to pass must work
and wait for it and believo in it to tiio
end.
Near the island of St. Thomas there is
oxurious rock that comes out of the sea
in tho shape of a ship, and seen on a
foggy- tiny it is n perfect deception, ns
again and again vessels passing by see
that great ntono loom up from the water
like a ship in full sail. A curious inci¬
dent happened once with a French cov
vetto cruising in those waters. Looking
out, tho Frenchman saw this ship sud¬
denly loom up from tho water, and from
his guns sent a shot to tho leeward, com¬
manding that the ship should bring her¬
self alongside and report. Of course
there was no response, and then ho
cleared thd deck for action and sent a
broadside into tho enemy; then, spring¬
ing his ship to tho other side, he pre¬
pared to discharge more guns, when tiio
fog suddenly lifti d, and tho old stono
smiled at him from her solid position in
tho sea.
So, sometimes hi the past, if wo could
only have seen ourselves when the smoko
of battle cleared away, we would have
found wo had been fighting nature her¬
self; that wo had been bombarding tiio
eternal hills of God. God has decreed
that wo are one, mid ho is going to bring
us back at last in that world of jubilee,
in that world rejoicing, when tlie na¬
tions shall be at peace.
Opium a Cift From God.
At a meeting of tho woman’s mission¬
ary conference in Toronto Miss Beatty,
a medical missionary from the western
part of India, spoke against the efforts
making to restrict tho nso of opium by
the natives i f that country. Sho said it
would be cr’cl to take it away from suf¬
fering womanhood until civilization had
opened the door of zenenas to medical
men or there were enough women doc¬
tors to relieve tiio agonies which women
suffer and must bear without treatment.
Opium is inexpensive. All women take
it. A11 babies are drugged with it, and
the littlo child wives aro relieved Ly its
aid.
“I have seen,” raid Miss Beatty, “a
little girl of US with her own baby on
he r lap. It was drugged and no trouble
to her. How could it bo when it was
asleep? And she would put up her little
hands and plead for a doll to play with
while sho was froo from tho care of her
little one. While tho present awful state
of things maintains in India, opium is
something to thank God for.”—Homo

partly in the city, recently testified that
ho found his boy companions in the coun¬
try much v, evso than, those in t-litt city.
“It is our habit to think of tho coun
try, ho said, “c.s the abode of innocenco
end purity, and of the city as tho haunt
of vice, but at this remove of time I can
not recall hearing a single bad word from
my schoolmates in the large institution
which I attended in Boston. I feel sure
that some must have been uttered, for
them were several hundred hoys in the
building, but i cannot remember liear
mg any.
t “My experience with the boys in tho
country is, however, in my memory very
different. Tbero were two or three
dreadful boys tbero who corrupted the
whole school. They were foul mouthed
and full of iniquity.”
A family of boys who spend their snrn
mers in tiio country and lb fir winters in
the city have frequently remarked tlie
same thing. They find good boys in both
places, hut more badness in proportion
in the country, and,- as they themselves
express it, “their badness is worse."
“Somehow,” remarked one of them
naively, "the city hoys are moro polite
about it, and maybe it’s only that that
makes thorn seem not quite so bod."
Nearly all who possess an intimatoac
quaintance with both city and country
will testify to the general truth of those
conclusions.
Tho reasons are not far to seek. In t tio
city schools I !m youth are more carefully
adod t. 1 .m lu tiit mnuiij, not only m
tho direction of mind, but of morals. A
normal and well brought up boy has a
much wider choice as to his playmates
in tho one than in tho other, and such a
boy will usually select his friends among
tho better boys. In the country lie is
thrown necessarily with children with
whom Isis parents would much rather ho
should not associate. The democracy of
tho village is absolute, however, and any
attempt to establish an aristocracy, even
of virtue, is deeply resented by tho par¬
ents of tho objectionable youth. Such
parents usually consider their children
as good as the rest.
In the city ho has comparatively little
opportunity to put in corrupting work
among good boys. Tho had boys herd
by themselves and often become formid¬
able gangs, tho terror of peaceful citi¬
zens and even of tho police. In the coun¬
try tho bad boy lias only a few compan¬
ions as bent on sin as himself, hut he has
free access to well brought up children,
often influencing than to deeds of evil
which they remember with shame as
long na they live.
There seems a suggestion boro for those
who livo in the country or who pass
moro or less rime there each year, who
live it end cannot bear to thiiikofthp
plagne'spots upon it, to put in Homo mis¬
sionary work among tha country bad
boys. A month’s effort, unobtrusively
and spoil tan eously given, among doubt¬
ful boys in a country place may raise
tho tono of a wholo neighborhood for
years afterward. To show such boys
that you re pect tho good in them, to
praise thorn for whatever they excel in,
to show an interest in their worthy pur¬
suits, to take them, in short, at their
best—this work might be moro fan-cach¬
ing in its good effects than the getting
up of a bazaar or tho giving of a straw¬
berry festival.—Now York Times.

Disease germs lurk in every cubic inch
of tho material which is being used to
fill in West Harrison street between
California and Homan avenues. James
McGrath, one of the residents of the dis¬
trict, ond se\ oral of his neighbors de¬
cided to take concerted action in the
matter. It was dark night before last,
and it was cold. Armed with pickax
and spado James McGrath, T. II. Utley
and J. F. Sheehan met at 0 o'clock at
West Harrison street and Homan avenue.
As Mr. Utley was tho heaviest man in
the party, to him was given the honor of
striking the first blpw in tho interest of
reform. For two hours tho men worked,
casting aside whatever material they en¬
countered which they did not think
made good pavement. When they !
counted, the result showed they had
unearthed 7 rats, 1 section of Mai
