BY OLIVER WENDELTL HOLMES As life’s unending column pours, Two marshalled hosts are seen.- Two armies onthe trampled shores That Death flows back between. One marches to the drum-beat’s rol) The wide-mouthed clarion’s bray. And hears upon a crimson scroll. “Our glory is to slay!” One moves in silence by the stream. With sad, vet watchful eyes, Calm as the patient planet's gleam That walkes the clouded skies Along its front no sabres shine No blood-red pennons wave ; Its banner bears the single line “Our duty is to save. For those on death-bed’s lingering shade; At Honor’s trumpet-call With knitted brow and lifted blade In Glory’s arms they fall. For these no clashing falchions bright, No stirring battle-cry : The bloodless stabber calls by night Each answer, ‘‘Here am I.” For those the sculptor’s laurelled bust The builder's marble piles, The anthems pealing o’er the dust Through long cathedral aisles. For these he blossom-sprinkled turf That floods the lonely graves, When spring rolls in her sea-green surf In flowery-foaming waves. Two paths lead upward from below, And Angels wait above, Who count each burning life drop’s flow, Each falling tearof Love. Though fromthe Hero’s bleeding breast Her pulses Freedom drew, Though the white lilies in her crest Sprang from that searlet dew.— While Valor’s haughty champions wait Till all their scars are shown.

Thus the time cf supp:r ard of retiring sueceeded to each other, but not without meas having been found to azree upon en early meeting next morvingiia seclud d pert of the gardens of the ‘Castie, The iaterview took place. While most of the inmates were yet asleep, Helcn, fresh and blooming as the morsinz, which was beginsing to dawn upon the beauti‘al lends scape, tripped down stairs, and Odowalsky soon followed by a different :oad through the shady walks of the garden; and even supposing they hid been observed by any one, who could put an improper construcs tion upon th? ac idestal of the inde od, to Helen and the meeting young lady and the Colonel? Assoon as he saw hor ata distance, ard was convinced they were «nnoticed, he sprang forward, pressed hor to his breast, | and was for some minutes deprived of utters ance by joyful «motion.

Of the Church’s power of censure in guarding the faith, which is subject to the strict supervision of the State. 4th. Of the creation of a Royal Court of ecclesiastical affairs, which has the supreme decision in everything that concerns the Church. Prince Bismarck began thus :— It was necessary, he found, to repeal an article of the Prussian Constitution which assured to all the religious communities perfect free- dom and independence. His law of April last erased that article of the Prussian con< stitution and substituted for it a statement that these religious communities might in- deed manage their own affairs, but under the supervision of the State. He there- fore took away altogether that liberty | which was written in ths Charter of the Prussian Constitution in 1870, and under | which not only the Catholic Church, but | likewise the other religious confessions had | been living in Prussia from 1850 to 1873.

This will, perhaps, be best realized by supposing that no priest could be appointed to any cure by our Archbishop without getting first the consent of the Minister of State That will give a standard by which to measure what the spirit of these Bismarcks ian laws is with regard to the Church. But he does not stop here. He likewise creates at Berlin the Royal Court for ecclesiastical affairs, consisting of eleven members nomi- nated t-y the Crown, and every subject that concerns the Church may be brought be- fore them, every appointment, every trial that concerns a priest, or that concerns | anything upon which the Church's cen- sure has been passed, may be brought for revision before that tribunal. We have all heard in our own history of a certain Court of very ill fame termed the Star Chamber, but this is the creation of a much more powerful aud rapidly acting tribunal than the Star Chamber in this country was, mate judgment on every affair concerning the Catholic Church, to reinstate priests if | they are under censure, or to pronounce | them guilty if they are not under ecclesiass | | tical censure, to censure bishops for the | performance of their most sacred duties as | will remember | armed with a power to pronounce its ulti- | * Christ has given to his Church to main tain purity of faith (hear, hear,) the highs est of which powers is excommunication that is the depriving of a disobedient and rebellious member of the privilege of mem- bership. Now all these powers must exs ist in the Bishop in each disocese through- out the whole wor!d, and you will at once | observe that the legislation of Prince Bis- marck tends to break up the whole of this It assaults the inward life of the Church. What it says is, ‘ Your priests shal! not be instinct with your spirit they shall have mine; they shall go to my university; they shall learn my philosophy, my views of history, and the spirit of my German literature, They shall be adepts in the literature of Goethe, for instance, and Schiller, Goethe being a well-known Pan- theist and a man of mighty genius, buta denier of God, They shall understand the various systems of German philosophy, all of which terminate in the denial of one personal God who has made us and re- deemed us. This they shall do, but they shall not be your priests, they shall not promulgate, the one faith, the one doctrine of morals and of Christian faith in which the Catholic Church consists. Therefor Prince Bismarck, in doing all this, has aim. ed directly at the life of the Church. He wishes to change her ministers, and I do not fear to say that if his legislation is carried out, in twenty years’ time he wi!) have utterly changed the constitution and the inward spirit of the Church subjected to suck a revolution, (Cheers.) The blow is well aimed ; the skill is perfectly dia. bolical. The power that is shown in these pagesisenormous. Itisa well put together system, if it could be carried out, but it never will be carried out. (Cheers.) This then is the way in which the Bismarckian legislation attacks the life of the Church, which was my second point to bring before you. Observe in what it consists, These new laws, say the Bishops of the German Empire—and observe the force of their language—not only violate, but destroy these essential rights of the Church, first in the conditions imposed in the education of the clergy ; secondly, in their employment and removal; thirdly, in subjecting the censure of the Church in all its degrees to the good pleasure of the State, fourthly, in the establishment of a Royal court fo ecclesiastical affairs, this new of which | spoke ; and finally it abrogates the jurisdiction of the Sovereign Pontiff, for it declares in one little quiet article that star Chamt | no censure shall be pronounced in Germany | except by German officials, That "seems a very quiet specification. What it really means is to destroy the universal jurisdiction of the Holy Father. It therefore makes it impossible for any simple Catholic to live under those Jaws and obey them. (Hear, hear.) These, then, are the two first points on which | have to speak to you, what the Bismarckian legislation is, and how it af- fects the life of the Church in its inmost | sanctuary, which is the spirit of its priest- hood. Tne Church being a living power which is to go through the world to convert it and mould it into one mass of doctrine ane! conduct. Prince Bismarck aims at its very life; for he says that the character of the clergy shall not he formed as it has been in the Catholic Church from the be- ginning by itself through its Hierarchy, with the Holy Father at the top, but it shall be formed and influenced by him, by } the State, by another power, which. unhap pily, in Germany, is intensely anti Catho ic.” J now proceed to the third point, the Bismarckian legislation as it stands with regard to the relations in Germany between the Church and the State. You began by pointing out that in order to do ali this Prince Bismarck had to do away with an article of the Rus sian Constitution that was framed in 1850 that ensured to every religious communit) recognized by the State (and none are established, but only recognized) the com plete management of its own affiirs. But observe that that was not the beginning of things in Germany. The Prussian Con- stitution is of very late date. The Cath olic Church had had relations with the State in Germany for many hundred years before the present Constitution of I850,and through all those many hundred years its relations with the State were entirely dif- ferent from those relations which this Bis» marckian legislation attempts to impose Observe, that this new legislation is not only a repeal of the Prussian Constitution of 1850 ; itis likewise a violation of all nas tural right—the nature of things and the law of reason ; secondly, it is a violation of all historic rights which the Catholic por- tion of the kingdom has inherited Che King of Prussia—mark it well, for nothing can be more odious to Prince Bismarck than to remind him of it, and! remind him of it now - received the Catholic portions of his empire with the promise to maintain in them the Catholic retigion free and undi turbed. His Rhenish province came to him with that condition, his Polish provins ces came to him on that condition, his Si- lesian provinces came to him with that cons dition ; so that this legislation is in truth the breaking of that primary agreement on which the King of Prussia holds his crown with regard to his country. By these laws he has broken his royal word, for he has tak- en away those liberties which he did not confer, and which he had not power to take away. I speak of power in the proper sense of the word, not in the sense of brute force, in which Germany is strong enough, but in the sense of right. He had no right as a Prussian Monarch to take away those liber ties of the Catholic Church which she pos- sessed from the first, which she possessed before Germany was a kingdom or a nation at all. When he signed these laws he for ot that it was an English missio t & ‘Ty, | Bishops, to reverse their judgments, to | publish them with fine and imprisonment, and finally to deprive them. That is the new Star Chamber, which the legislation of Prince Bismarck has erected in the German Empire. And fourthly, to complete this, the whole power of the Church with regard to censure, in which consists its power to maintain the unity and purity of the Faith, is likewise put under the control of this new Star Chamber. Ifa Bishop, for ins stance, has appointed any priest to a certain cure and sees fit to remove him from that cure, the priest, if he were so regardless of Catholic doctrine and principle as to do it, might appeal, under this new law, to the State for reversal of judgment and his Bishop would be brought before the su- preme tribunal in Berlin, and the priest might be restored to his functions as a priest, and if the Bishop refused to submit to the decision he would be punished by fine and imprisonment and at last might be deposed. This Legislation affects the , Catholic Church, | * * * “Consider,” he says, that “every Bishopric in the Catholic Church throughs out the world fosms part of one whole. Without that it is not a Catholic Bishopric. A Catholic Bishop is not a Bishop | that great mass which is the rock of the | Prince Bismarck. Church; he forms part of one united epis» | copacy. He must be in union with the | Holy See or he is no Bishop. Secondly, | | consider for a moment what the primary functions of each Bishop thus in union with the Holy See are in his diocese. He has to eee the Faith, the true Christian octrine of faith and morals, which is one | throughout all the world. (Hear, hear.) | How is he to do this? He has to do this | by means of his clergy, for it is a living | Church with which we deal, and not a aunt j | Church. It isa Church that lives and acts, and notaChurch upon paper. The Bi therefore, must act through his clergy in doing this. The clergy are his officers and | he is the commander. They must be under | his control; they speak by his authority _ He must rule them, and they must have | the Bishop’s hands, always in union with | the Holy Father above him, are the powers of censure, the ultimate power which k who | stands by himself, but he forms part of | | P one spirit. And further to ensure this in b Yinfred of Devonshire, who be ime great St. Boniface and who founded the | great German nation. In the eighth cen- tury he left England and went to Germany and, seeking a blessing not once, but twick and repeatedly from the Holy See, doing nothing without that preliminary blessing he founded one see after another; he drew together the tribes of Germans who had hitherto done little else but fight with each other and destroy each other, and thus by having established the Christian and Catho- lic religion among them under the blessing of the ae they became what they are; and now this most ungrateful of Monarchs, having attained to the Imperial dignity, | marks his accession by taking away from | this very Catholic religion which it had en joyed before his people had an existence Not only are the historic rights which | have described confiscated by those oppressive laws, but likewise the conventions made with the Holy See, in which the Holy See | has been recognized by the different Ger- man States as representing the Church, a | commissioned to speak in behalf of the Church. Those conventions also have bee simply anulled without any regard to their sanctity, without so much as mentioning t the Holy Father that there was an inten- tion of revising them. And lastly, there is a violation of the freedom of conscienc: of all the Catholics in the Empire , and on all these grounds they have a right to de- nounce these persecuting laws. Now let me note here for the moment the utter recklessness of the course pursued by He has by a series of victories, without their like in history, founded a new Empire. How is that Em- pire composed? Of forty-two millions o! people, twenty-eight millions of them are not Catholics ; fourteen millions are. Ue has, therefore, begun his new Empire by passing laws of persecution against exactly one third of the inhabitants of the whol: Empire. No less than fourteen millions of people are affected by these changes which I have attempted to describe to you. The consciences of fourteen millions of peo ple are injured by them. At this momen! riests are imprisoned, and one Archbishop Imprisoned. Let me mention what has been put into my hands as one of the the latest incidents of this struggle. At Aix-la-Chapelle, two young priesis, recent- ly appointed to curacies by their Arch ishep, were summoned to declare by whose authority they had said Mass. They refused to reply, because they would not give a handle of attack upon tne authority | that had appointed them, and they were forthwith cast into prison. One of them, suflering from illshealth, was cast into a foul and fetid prison which had been just left by a criminal, and there, at this mo. ment, he languishes. This is Prussian lib. erty. this is the Bismarckian Constitution. In virtue of these same laws, the noble Archbishop of Posen, after suffering res peated fines, which had no effect upon his firmness, has been put into prison. At this moment the Primate of Poland is in prison because he will not submit to lawe which no Christian Bishop could submit to without giving up his faith.” —_><.
