A strong and clear exposition of the
.ehurch side of the great controversy
that Is bow disturbing Europe and
arousing Intense Interest all over toe
world wss siren laat evening by Father
.V V (VU.r. In an address lO lay
congregation at tha cathodraL On the
JYmw," Father O'liara eald:
-Tha religious crisis which now eon-
' f ronla tha French nation can be made
' Intelligible to tha American people only
by an accurate explanation of the mean
J .Ing and Intent of the recent oeparatloo
Jaw, of the anlmua of thoee who are to
i enforce It and the historical events
' ' . which made the preaent condition poaal
; --l-tie. Th -American people, acquainted
I -with? the a pa ration of ehurch and state
i "in this country, naturally suppose that
'the :rrench government wlahea to In
f nuirurate a almllar condition In France.
' 5 Nothing could be further y from the
. I truth,
s "Why did not the Holy Father auth-
' 'orlre the formation of associations of
! 'public worship according to "the pro-
I j visions of the disestablishment act?
Because that act would have subjected
I ' to. charch to the most disgraceful Slav
t - -ery. The aaaortatlona were surrounded
; by numerous tyrannical restrictions,
) 'which would make the charch, though
:'. theoretlcaUy separate, really an appan
i ' ace of the civil power. . The asaoclaUona
were forbidden to carry on charitable
; ter eduoatlonal work as parlance do In
' this country and In every other eoun-
'try that understands the meaning of
f liberty. Their receipt a and expendl-,
.turee were to be audited by government
-officials. The civil eonrt could dtaeolve
' ..them and decree of the minister of
-worship could eject them from churchee,
-'presbyteries and semlnariea.-A.bov all,
- there was thte Insufferably tyrannoua
..prevision that disputes about eccleslas
. ! tlcal dlaclpllne were to be referred, not
to the bishops, but to the council of
Estate. Behold the plan of separation aa
propoaed by the French government!
; By destroying the disciplinary author
' Sty of the episcopate, the law would
: open the way to lndlaclpllne, disunion
and schism. In eomparlaon with which
'all temporal evils, spoliation and destl
v tutlon were aa nothing. Consider what
. manner of religious freedom could exist
where " government officials. frankly
'bent on tha destruction of all re 11 i on,
.', -would be constituted tha court of final
appeal la matters of ecclesiastical dis-
' elpllna. What .American cltlxen would

-"Scat-wa- th prerlaioa -of the- bill
i of separation In regard to tbo formation

bill, after three tnontha' , discussion.

....... ltOS. The senate, - - arter aiscussion,
' ?oassed the bill without modification and
( it was finally promulgated as a law on

formed according to the common law.
This waa an utterly arbitrary and Irre-

.."The suppression of religious freedom
by the separation act appears In the
provision which forbids all criticism of
tha civil authorities by the clergy. The
not provided that the lay association
for public worship would ba held re
sponsible for the proper brand of po
litical views tn the pulpit, if a priest
wars to criticise the policy of the gov
ernment the congregation became liable
to ejection from, the church by minis
terial decree. ' la such a case no trial
by Jury was ' provided. The minister
was at once Judge, Jury ana complem
ent. ' - An association of extreme social
ists can hold large public moetlnga, at
which every possible method, for sub
verting the constitution of tha state
band of anarchists may hire a ball,
wherein they are at perfect liberty to
listen to a Russian prince explaining
his formulas not social, but chemical
and explosive. But a priest Is not free
to- express his opinion to tha congrega
tion from which he derlvea support; he
may not even lock the door of the
church If ho wishes to do so, nor can.
he use the church for other purposes
than worship. - . :
Conduct of the lUalstry.
"The tyranny of the regulations con
cerning publlo .worship are of a ' piece
with the general conduct of the French
ministry toward religion.- The govern
ment has enlisted In a compalgn of rob
bery and spoliation, and has proceeded
with such-high disregard for the honor
of the nation, the rights of the church
and the requirements of good faith that
no confidence can be placed in Its prom
ts and no honesty expected in Its per
formances. The American people seem
to ba under tha . impression that tha
suppression of the religious budget was
a natural and Justifiable consequence of
the separation of . church and state.
Such is not the case. The rellgloua
budget, the payment of the salaries of
the clergy, was an Indemnity for ehurch
property confiscated and sold by the
government si me time ox me revolu
tion. Prior to the French revolution
the ehurch had peaceful possession of
hsr property, Just as aha has in Amer
ica today, . The revolutionary govern
ment confiscated the- property and sold
a large part of It, which could never be
reclaimed. The state recognised that
this act of confiscation placed it In the
debt of the church, and It waa arranged
between Napoleon and Cardinal Con
Baa vl that the Interest on this debt
should be paid In the form of aa annual
budget for the salaries of tha clergy
and the repair of churches. Consequent
ly the suppression of tha religious
budget Is simply the dishonest repudia
tion of a national debt. The further
confiscation of property now propoaed
la wholesale robbery. . It Is precisely as
If our government were to confiscate
without recompense the Churches and
preebyteries and seminaries of tha Pro-
testant Cathollca if Anwrtcar r '
Says Franee Xs Autocratic
The French government Is nomtnalTy
republican. In reality there la not
more autocratic government in - Europe,
not excepting Russia. - There are too,
00 publlo officials and - functionaries
throughout Franca at tha nod and beck
of the ministry... They are picked men.
They can bo relied upon. , They were
put there to fill tha places of men who
were dismissed from the service by a
free government, because, forsooth, their
wives attended ' mass on . Sunday or
committed some equally dreadful crime
against the majesty of ths state. Why
have the people .of France permitted
themselves to ba misrepresented by the
government for mors - than a decade 7
The same question may bo put with
equal force to any one of our Americas
municipalities which has suffered from
ths misrule of a corrupt and powerful
political gang. The answer lies In the
natural apathy and Inertia of mankind.
V.e must rsmember, too, that the prin
ciple of separation has never yet been
submitted to ths. French electorate; and
our two-party system which keeps the
American voter awake, has no place la
Freach politics.
"Ths Trench ministry has sedulously
fostered the Impression that It la op
posed merely to clericalism. Clericalism
was once a living force in French poll'
tics, but that was when the sons of an
Infidel nobility came back from exile.
That- the bigoted seal of a rellgloua
newspaper against Dreyfus gava the
government an excuse for representing
the clergy as teachers of monarchical
doctrine no one would be simple enough
to deny. That any large number of the
!0.000,0d0 Frenoh . Cathollca, lay or
cleric, are antl-republlcan no one but a
Frenoh politician would be ridiculous
enough to assert. It Is religion, not
clericalism, that the Radicals who now
control the French government are de
termined to destroy. The men who con
trol the French government are not In
different to religion. Premier Clemen-
ceau has boasted that they have rooted
religion out of tha achoola and halls of
Justice and proclaims that It Is now
their aim to deatroy It in ths republic.
He has trafficked with parties who hate
the Idea of country equally, with the
idea of God ; ha has not hesitated to em
ploy a secret ' propaganda to - spread
hatred of religion; he has been found
linking arms with every element that
holds Christianity for a mischievous su
perstition.1 He la supported in the pres
ent persecution by J on res, who In his
paper, Humantte, proclaims himself as
ardent and militant a hater of all re
ligion aa Premier Clemenreau does tn his
own organ. IAurore. They are pledged
to destroy all religion In France, and no
one who Is acquainted with their record
supposes they will be content with leaa.

"The miserable persecution of religion
by ths Jacobins has caused many of the
leading non-Catholtcs In France to come
out In open protest aeainst the action
of the government. Rlbot. the leader
of the Progreaslonieta, perhaps"- the
ablest statesman In public life- In
Franca, a distinguished member of the
French academy, though not a Cat hollo,
haa fought the government at every
step In the course of persecution. Dr.
Oebhsrdt, one of the foremost of living
historians,' professor at the University
of Paris, also a member of the academy,
publicly denounces the policy of the
government. Ai score of the Intellectual
leaders of Franco, themselves professing
no religion, men like Emlle Faguet. could
be -mentioned whs have repudiated the
tyrannical and dishonest policy of the
Jaeoblna. They realised what the policy

"Hatred of the church In France
Beana hatred of. all reUsioa, It Im to
In spite of the car strike and that
many people had to walk to ehurch. a
large congregation, greeted Dr. X Whlt
cornb Brougher at the First Baptist
church last evening on hta return from
a two weeks' evangelistic trip to Seattle.
The baptismal service was serious and
tmpnastw. Ths mnsln was partJonlarU
fine, especially the solo by miss Kath
leen Lawler, "My Redeemer and My
Lord." Dr. Brougher had selected aa
hie subject. "Homesickness." Hs said
In brief, using- ss hla text the story of
the prodigal son:
"This- young man was homesick. H
had gone away from home, apent his
tims in riotous living, and then he be
gan to think. If we could only get our
young people to think before they leave
their homes; If they would only count
the cost, there would not be so many
afflicted with this malady, especially
when It comes from a life misspent.
"There are several characteristics of
homesickness. - First, there le a longing
for home and tta Influences. - Happy Is
the young person who has had a home
life that Is -worth remembering. Often
young people go away to make their
living, become irritated by the restraints
of home, want to be Independent of the
old folk.- Some day the memory of a
praying mother or father cornea and
4hey are glad to go borne again, and
wish they could cancel the psst. Parents
are representatives f God to the eoul
end no soul 1s" supremely happy away
from Ood. When we lack the comfort
and advice of father and mother we may
find a subsUtute In Christ.
'Secondly, one longs for the love and
sympathy of loved ones. As long aa
the prodigal had money he had boon
companions, but they fell away when
he became destitutes -There an bono
abiding friendship based on sin. No ons
can live a life of Joy alone. The eoul
craves love and sympathy. We may
have friends who love us and we may
love them, but the eoul can never be
fully satisfied without the friendship
of Jesus. -
"In the third place he longed for
something better Vian he had. His
money was gone, he had lost his self
respect and peace and pleasure; he had
lost all hops for the future, but all
could be his again If he were willing to
bo true to his higher nature: His soul
waa homesick. That's true of every
soul wUhoot Qod.- There ia a. hunger
for thing that are pure and true, there
Is desire for Joy untainted by sin, and
thsrs Is hope for eternal life which can
bo satisfied in Ood alone." -

FALSE G0SPEL-
Its Belatiom to the World the Theme
of Ber. William M. Heppe.
"The Relation of the False Gospel to
the-World" was the eubject on which
Rev. William H. Heppe of the Centenary
Methodist Episcopal church spoke at'
the afternoon meeting of the T. L C A.
yesterday. Hs said:
"In the false philosophy of life there
Is no room for the true gospel. False
gospel la full of battle-cries, flashing
sabers and the roar of battles. It makes
life a huge Joke, the earth .one -vast
playground, and man aa actor to amuse
sod be amused. This is the false, er
femtnate gospel of the twentieth cen
tury. . - - .
"Conscience has come to us under the
blight of sin: It Is affected by sin and
is blighted by sin. Some people allow
their consciences to be governed by the
statutes of the state. Let the govern
ment enact new lawe regarding the rum
traffic gambling and tbo social evil, and
theee people will Imagine themselves
right If tbey merely keep within ths
bounds of ths written law."
HAPPY ALL THE TIME
Ber. S. A. Stewart Says Christians Ate
Called Upon to Be So.
Rev. 8. A. Stewsrt preached at the
First Evangelical church yestsrdsy on
"Be Happy AU the Time." He said:
- "Christians are the only class of peo
ple called on to , rejoice alway and are
the only ones that can reasonably be
expected to do so. The Christian who
remembers from what hs Is saved, for
what he Is saved and that it wna
nothing but the love of Ood that saved
him will alwsys be happy.
The one who obeys the apostle's
throe commands, "Rejoice alway,"
"Pray without ceasing" and 'Tn every
thing give thanks," will not only be
happy, but will grow In happiness, for
the ability to be happy Is a talent
which, if rightly used, will earn other
talents of Its own kind."
ths large cities, especially In Paris, that
Jacobinism flourishes and the morals of
tha people have decayed. No govern
ment In tho world, except that , of
France, would permit such dlsplsy of
pornographlo literature aa that which
disgraces the newsstands of ths capital
city. Ths irreligious portion of- the
French people have lost all - eense of
domestlo morality, as can- readily be
aeen by a glance at the statistics of the
birth rate. Thoee provinces, and those
only, wbloh are profoundly Cathollo
maintain the normal birthrate. , If the
government succeeds in de-Catholicising
France, It will remove France from the
man of Europe.
"But no atudent of history Imagines
that spoliation and persecution will root
out the Cathollo church In France or
elsewhere. . It will but atrengtsen her.
When the Jacobins of ths French revo
lution drove the clergy from France and
confiscated the church, property, they
set up a lewd woman on the altar of the
cathedral of Notre -Dame and wor
shiped her as the goddess of reason.
They thought they had destroyed the
church in Frsnce. But the revolution
ists ars gone and their fitful dream has
passed like a shadow, but ths Catholic
ehurch still remains enshrined in the
affections of the vast majority of
Frenchmen. So It will be In the preaent
Instance. Whan Clamennaau will he lor
