A SUNDAY SERMON ELOQUENT DISCOURSE DELIVERED On Hie Period When the Foundations Of Our Religious Liberty Were First Laid. New Yor.~ City.?Tn the South Congregational Church. RiooYv.i. the 'lev. J. C. Wilson, associate ja-'.or. delivered a discourse ou "The .Struggle i>r Religious Liberty," the subject being "Juirope on the Kve of the Reformation." The text was v ,*N nml "0- "And llOW I sav unto you. Tefrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to naught, but if it he of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haplv ye be found even to light against God." Air. Wilson said: Let me suggest at the outset that the struggle for religious liberty and what is known as the Information are no?t in all respects identical movements. The Reformation was a great tidal wave which swept over Europe in the sixteenth century, out of the vast and troubled sea of the centuries whose waters were great'v agitated by the struggle for religious lioerty. It was the culmination of that struggle. It asserted the fundamental principle-, upon which it had proceeded, and succeeded in laying broad and secure foundations upon which true religious libertv could he built, but it j left some of the higher standards and liner ideals unatiained. In that respect there is much yet to he desired. . J In view of the fact that the Reformation split Europe into two great waning religions camps, it is necessary t > remind ourselves that u:> to that time there bad been but one Christian church in Western Ku- j rnru> And the strurzle for religious libertv went on within that church and not outside of it, nor against it, after the first three centuries. Whatever glory and whatever shame attaches to that church during the first fifteen centuries is shared equally by us all. Protestants and Roman Catholic m'ike. The Reformation itself originated within the Roman Catholic Church, and was led by men bred in her schools and cloisters. We should also remember that the Roman Catholic Church of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries is not the Roman Catholic Church of the twentieth century and in the Cnited States. From a very cany age religious differences have engendered strife and stirred the most violent passions of men. Although the Jews tasted the bitterness of persecution, that did not prevent them from pressing the same can to the lips of the early Christians and,"with the aid of the Romans, making them drink it to its dregs. Then were written the first pages :n the most sanguinary and thrilling story?a story of unutterable suffering and grim endurance for conscience sake?which history's pages record. It can scarcely be called a struggle. It was as impossible for the obscure and defenseless sufferers to resist their enemies as for a fiv to resist the hand that crushes it. Judged from appearances. it was a remorseless massacre, which crushed its victims into the earth. Rut the real forces that were working out the problem were not on the surface. The odds against which the ear.y Christians were matched drove them to seek refuge in the mountain fastnesses and in the subterranean caverns, known as catacombs. Here they cherished their faith and worship until the violence <>t their enemies abated. After two centuries they came forth from their biding places, disciplined by hardship, trained to prudence and foresight by the peril in which they had lived and with a comoaet and efficient organization. Their leaders had improved their long seclusion to cultivate letters and arts, and soon tool; leading plates among scholars and men of affairs: so that when Constantin'e succeeded to the undivided possession of supreme power in the IVonian Empire prudence, it rot preference, n: ncd bin: to an alliance with them. Then began a new phase in t he struggle for religious liberty. The despised and persecuted C hristians, now risen to places of power and possessing the throne in the person of the l'.ir.pc-ror. did not abuse their trutt. Such was the spirit of sweet reasonableness which animated them that the hrst Christian Emperor issued an edict of religious toleration, known as the edict of Milan, which granted religious liberty withit. ? .1-- -f < i.? in Uie U2I WliC- U(i9J9 vt. titer fftucu rights of conscience; on.y those religious ^ rites were prohil?iied which involved jrnV morality, magic or sorcery. Not until the fatal passion for power had been aroused in them by its possession did the Christians resort to persecution. The organization of the Christian church kept pace with its spread in Europe. From Rome as a centre the missionaries penetrated to all parts of Europe. They carried with them the love of the mother church from which they went and bound the churches which they planted to her in gratitude and Christian fellowship. The confidence and affection whi? h she won by her generosity and selfsacrifice in the gospel, she soon came to demand as her r k'.. and when at length the Bishop of Rovie secured the political power of his city he aspired to make the tiaditional capital of the world its ecclesiastical capital also. then, with the policy of military Home the Christian church adopted, also, the ambi ious and relentless spirit of the Caesars. Ecclesiastical Home usurped the right of mankind and perverted their liberties a ntblessly as did political Rome. lnron.ii successive stages the church mounted o the throne of its power until it was mo absolute than the empire had ever essayed t ? be. Men like Gregory the Great. 1*0 II'. and Hiidebrand made the most astonishing claims, and absolute supremacy in all human affairs, and treated with the utmost severity all who withstood their claims. Unavailing protests to their ssfntmrliniT nrptpnvinn? wpre raispH hv men like John Seotus, Abelard Arnold, of Brescia and Wicklifi, and in the humbler walk? of life opposition showed itself in such sects as the Albigenses and the Waldenses, neither of which desired to separate themselves from the Catholic Church, but both of them desired that its pretensions should be moderated and its abuses reformed according to the scriptural requirements of apostolic simplicity and purity. These men were simple minded and their lives were, pure, but they were subjected to the inost remorseless persecution. Their heroic endurance and unfaltering faith has covered their memory with a halo of glory like unto that which surrounds the early Christian martyrs. During the massacre of the Albigenses was born the order of the Dominicans. into whose hands was intrusted the institution known as the Inquisition, the roost diabolical engine of intolerance and persecution that human ingenuity ever devised. It is the fate of all despotisms to work their-own destruction by a fatal disregard of the limits of hnman endurance, and when the papacy added the horrors of the Inquisition to the usurpation of the most sacred of human rights, and aggravated her offenses by the flagrant immorality of the clergy, she transcended her limits and in* roked the long slumbering and accumulated wrath of centuries, which burst forth in the Deformation, disrupted her solid empire, and caused her the loss of twothirds of her spiritual children. Two great movements in theMiddle Ages contributed to hasten the triumph of religious liberty in Europe. They were the Crusades and the Renaissance. The religious enthusiasm of Europe, dormant for centuries, was kindled by the fiery eloquence of Peter the Hermit. a? he preached a crusade against the "infidel Turks." for i he purpose of resetting the Holy Sepulchcr from their hands. It was as when a door is suddenly opened into a house where a fire has been long smoldering, smothered in its own smoke, the whole building is wrapped in a sudden conflagration; or as when a volcano long extinct burets into sudden activity. A spontaneous uprising, as of one man, unparalleled in Iiistoi took place among all classes of peop Kings and peasants, priests and Liwye merchants and bankers wre swept by t same mighty impulse and lircd by the s.u zeal. which for the time burned alike every breast and submerged calculate and self-interest. All alike were moved venture life and fortune 111 the holy cans During the space cf 200 years seven i hcavals of the population to >k place knni as the Crusades, five of them proJig'o and two of tlieni only relatively lesser, of them mighty Before the frenzy k rflod by Peter the Hermit died out i mense treasure was squandered, muilitu' of lives were sacrificed and apparent nothing accomplished; total and disastro failure seemed to attend it all. But here again we are mistaken if 1 judge by appearances. For although t Crusaders whitened the p'ai is rf Asia .N nor with their bones and dyed the ?rr of Northern Africa with their blood wit put achieving any permanent results either Asia or Africa, their exodus lrc Kurope and their return to their lorm homes were attended oy consequence* Kurope far greater than W9uld nave be the oonqrest of ail the Kast and the resc of tl;e relics of all the saints. In the rii place thev had broken the power of t Saracens by successive impacts upon .he by prolonged conllict with them. Thev had fought fire with fire. Religio fanaticism was matched r ainst reiig-o fanaticism, and it inflicted such nunc raent upon the rapacious and cruel M:ws man that he has never been able to ra from it. Although he reached the ?hoi of Europe later on, he was exhausted wi the strueg'o, and has continued in a st? of languishing impotence ever since, the second place the Crusades had marked and lasting effect upon the ( 1 saders themselves, and in spite of thi suffering and losses the gain was great than the loss, for it brought them into < root and immediate contact with t East. at that time the cultivated and i lined portion of the world.

In the number and intelligence of Its ()Sp delegates, in Its enthusiasm and work,n( ing capacity, in its unanimity and singleness of purpose, in the number of us able speakers and freedom from partly? san or political influences, It was seldom If ever equaled, lly Two thousand delegates from nearly rs every State and Territory in the Union ll(! attended the convention. From the in first day to the last the most domluata ing idea was the necessity of govern'V* ment aid In the construction of rural j,'r routes?government aid to be condili I tloned upon an equal amount of local 1,8 j aid as set forth in the Brownlow bill. | The best evidence, however, was in v., i the adoption of the declaration of prina J ciples and resolutions on the last day 'f- j of the meeting. There was not a dls !,J! senting voice in that large assemblage, it- The declaration of principles as set 1,f> forth asserted that the building of good roads In the United States is now nt of paramount importance to national ?!r prosperity and commercial supremacy; j that the harmonious co-operation of 'J*: township, county. State and national pv | governments is needed in furtherance he of this end; that though the appropriations hitherto made by Congress ^,1 for the improvement of the rivers and eel harbors were beneficent and commendle able, yet the time has come when the 3,1 agricultural districts should be assistte ed in the matter of building highways, or so that the benefits of the free mail ht delivery may he extended and thus jj* promote a higher order of citizenship ,?,! ; and also meet the ever-growing necesof ! sitics of the great agricultural Interi ests of the country, upon which its l'". I prosperity and growth depend. (j. | The principle of State and county m. | co-operation was commended, and it j was more than once emphasized that j it is as much the duty of the general ?t. 1 government to assist in the building ls' 1 of highways as it is to improve the | rivers and harbors, ne | The resolution favoring national aid d- is to be presented to the Congress of 1171 ! the United States by a committee comrc | posed of one member from each State, hi- i to be selected by the secretary of the 1 National Good Roads' Association.

March 20. 1800. was unanimously apty proved and indorsed by the convenae tion. ^ | Among the most distinguished speakrn j ors at the convention were President ol-! Roosevelt, William J. Bryan, Senator j Latimer, of South Carolina, and Gov] ernor Cummins, of Iowa. Mr. Roosens ' velt and Mr. Bryan both spoke of the to . necessity of building better highways i for the nation, and though neither I committed himself to the proposition nc j of advocating government aid. yet the i inference was clear that both would favor such expenditures. Senator Lat(ic | imer made a strong and unanswerable he ; argument in favor of government aid. ?" ! There will be no more earnest worker ;n. i for good roads in the nest Congress os ; than Senator Latimer. "r" j The President made some good o]* points. Among other things he said: ns ! "It is the habit of road building that! no i pivos to a people permanent greatness. ! "The development of the iron road ir has been all that one could wish, but re it is mere presumption to consider good '"j railways as substitutes for good highways. lts "We want to see cities built up hut as not at the expense of the country disks tricts.

"We should all encourage any check ni- to the unhealthy flow from the country n(l to the city." ^ This movement in favor of governj,P ment aid is gathering strength day by ;h. day. of '1'' Sun'* Antic* at 8nn*et. Curious lieformntions of the sun's disk as it sets have recently been Iv studied by Dr. I'rinz, of the Royal BelT gian Observatory, by the aid of photo (0'J grapliy, says a writer in Success. The rd most common of these are simply inof dentations of the disk. Sometimes there is appearance as of flames isA suing symmetrically from opposite n- sides and uniting above in a single ni: jet, which disappears to give place to ;(| another, formed In the same way. eh These phenomena, according to M. (1' Prinz, are due to horizontal layers of air of different density, which refract US 0f the sun's light. Some such appearto auce of the solar disk at sunrise may ns have originated the familiar legend q] that on Easter morning the sun dances id as he rises. m It is calculated that more than 2u,000 , [n New Yorkers diue every day in the underground restaurants.
