Bill Arp on Intolerance.
I got a batch of papers today, the
organ of the American Protective
Association-another party that some
political schemers have gotten np to
put down the Roman Catholics. I
don't want any more Sectarian pre?
judice. It makes me sick. New Eng?
land fanaticism was no worse than the
intolerance that possesses some of
the members of Christian churches.
I know Protestants who make them
selves miserable for fear the Roman
Catholics will take the country, and
some of them are nearly as bitter
against every other church, and
would compass sea and land to make
a proselyte. Contemptuous flings are
made at other churches by those' who
cal! themselves Christians. Some
forty years ago when the elder Judg e
Underwood joined the Episcopal
Church a cynical Baptist friend ?aid :
;*W?l, judge, I understand you have
joined the Episcopal Church. "
"Yes,* said the judge. ' "Got into a
church that won't, interfere with your
politics or your, religion," said
the Baptist* "?es," said the
judge,'' and ^you - got into- a
church where you thought the
doctrine of election would save you,
for you knew that nothing else
would. It is well, my . friend, that
that election was held before you
were born for if it bad to be held
over again you would never come
in."
I don't know anything un-Christfan
in modern Romanism I don't be
Heve in some of the dogmas, but this
is a land and an age of religious
liberty and thousands of good peo?
ple are Roman Catholics. Parents
are certainly conscientious in trying
to do what they think is best for their
children, and if a Roman Catholic
father wishes his children taught in
a school of that faith, it is his light
and privilege. If he wishes to do
bornage to the Virgin Mary, let him
do it The Romish Church is the
mother of all the churches. When
it got corrupt,. and intolerant some
oi ita adherents rebell?e} and formed
new societies and they grew and
prospered, and now their name is
legion The old mother Church was
shorn of her power and had to re?
form her methods, and is no longer
dictator of kingdoms. No man caa
make me fear the. "secret insidious
machinations," of the Romish Church
. in this country while such men as
Pat Walsh belong to it. I would
trust Pat Walsh with every interest I
have in good government and the
religious liberty of my posterity.
Yes. trust him far sooner than many
of tiiebigot8 I know in Protestant
churches. The Sisters of Charity
took my mother when she was a
friendless orphan in Savannah, when
the terribie scourge had carried her
parents to a single grave, and the
panic-stricken people were fleeing the
doomed city. They shielded her and
cared for her when no one else would,
and she loved them all her life. I
never see them in the great cities
moving so quietly along the streets
with their dark gowns and modest
hoods and kindly faces but what I
think of their loving kindness to her
who was all the world to me.
We have one hundred and fifty
beautifully bound hymu books in our
church that were presented by a
Northern lady. The book is the
, standard "Laudes Domini'* by the
Presbyterian Church, and its hymns
are regarded as the best selection that
bas ever been made, and yet many of
the most beautiful hymus were com?
posed by Roman Catholics. John
Dryden the poet laureate of England,
has hymus there aud he was a Roman
Catholic, So was John Henry New?
man, the cardinal who wrote that
beautiful hym, "Lead, Kindly Light."
F. W. Faber, who wrote, "There is
a wideness in God's mercy." was a
Catholic priest. Miss Adelaide
Proctor another Roman Catholic, has
hymns in this book. The whole
compilation should teach us charity !
and tolerance While Watts and j
the Wesley8 have much the largest j
number of. of hymns, the Presby- j
terian authors are very few. The j
Episcopal authors are the most j
numerous of all. The Unitarians are
well represented, having such noble
composers as William Cullen Bryant
and Mrs. Adams, who wrote Nearer
My God to Thee." Evans Alice and
Phoebe Cary who were Uni* ersalists
have hymns in there, and ao has Tom
Moore, who was of no church. It
is the repentant, grateful loving heart
that gives praise in song and it does
not matter to what church the author
belongs if he sings in sincerity and
truth.
There are six million Roman
Catholics in the United States and
this count includes the children.
There are ten million Prostestants,
not counting children who have not
made profession. Then, why should
we fear them? Some of our over?
zealous Protestants have sounded an
alarm without provocation. I do not
wish any more of their Duluth
papers.-Bill Arp, in Sunny South
