COMMUNISM, SERMON NY THE REV, W. If. RYDER. ‘The Rov. W. II, Ryder delivered a most fnter- esting discourse Jast cvening in 8t. Panl's Unl- veranllst Church on * ‘The Pope’s Encyetical Let- ter am! Communlsm,’ The ofifelal head of the Roman Catholle Chureh, he sald, had recently fssued a letter to the fafthful, which contatned very many tuings of great and far-reaching im- portance. The newsvapers of this city had fallcd, as yet, to bestow upon it the attention It 80 well deserved, probably for the preas upon thelr tima nid space involved in the inquiry aa to whether a high army officer was responsible for the massacre of Gen, Custer, and {n tho de- termination of that other question of even mreater public fmportsnce,—whether it waz practicable to have an honest Judge In the Clty of Chleazo. “Ilie suectal polnt of this letter of the Pope related to Commnnism, or Boclalism, seainat which the Pape solemnly warned the faithful. His remarks were divect; unmistaxable, and In every way cinphatic mu‘. as Dr, Rvderthousght, in every way creditable. The Roman Catholle Churelind “alwaya bren on the side of law, und, os far as tlis Boclalistfe movement was concerned, It was undoubtedly on the rlght side. I'he authority aml fnfluence of the Unth- olie Church were for Government, und It was cmphatiealty and ever on the alde of law anild order. He was glad to say this, nnd particu- larly 80 beeanse he hiad in thmes poast had ocen- slon to criticlae to someextent its general ecele- slastical polley. Dr. Ryder then proceeded to spenk of Sacial- 1sm,—n sort of scheme, whichi purposed to turn everything over to the State and bring about n glorious era in which everything should be in common aml every man and woman have a superfluity of laose change In their pockets, Tho change, {i iy opiniun, was {nconceivadle, and, should it he Introduced, was sure to be attended by the utost ‘deplorable results. ‘Fhera might bo sald to be two groups of Soclalists,—thuse followIng the theorles of” Fourler and thiose fol- lowing Owen. Of the cleven ascttiements founded by Fourler md his disciples, all had faled. To lmagine the fncoming of Soclallem was to fwngine the rile ol the mab, ending [ the apnearance of some nineteentl century Jullus Cesar and Imperlallsm, 1t was urged that the present governing authorities were dis- honeat, ‘There was no need to argue that, but 1o tinprovement waos to be hnd frum mob-rule amd Its necessary necompaniments. In the next place, he was opposed to Boclals 181 becauso it was the enemy of the puor, und the fricud of the rich, The honest poor, wm! the real friends of the poor, were to always be foutnd on the skl of law and order, and the lnw kupt down the opuressions of the rich. He be- Meved fu everybody having enough lund to eultl- vate, aid In the atural awl uniorced dlstribu- tion, but in this couutry there was o oceaslon for a grand distribution oo the Boclalistic plan, ~—this country than which none other on the face of the globe was tmore gencrous fu fts dis- téibutfon of landsand ita provisions for the poor. Dut, besides all this, Sociallsm meant o soclal and rellgtous upheaval, and, unless certain dan- eerous tendencles wers eliecked, he wes not a0 aure that there was not serioua ground for alarm. Driven out of the Old World, lordes of these Boclallstic fugitives, imbued with false und persiclous fdeas of ll‘wny and govern- ment, were flocking to our shores und sowing lie soeds of disscusion broudeast. A visitotion of swarms of Nebruskn grasshoppers tyas not to be compared with this dangerous and grow- fng influx, e feared that the rizht of citizen- aliup wos helng sold too cheaply, “The negeo had el was most just,—and set what o shameful spectacle was presented by miost of the race, who kiew no mores what It wits to be un American citizen than they did about.the contents of ths moon.

What meant tho great army of tramps, the growth of Buciullstic newspapers, the secret and public conventions, thetrainig of vouny and middle-sged men I the use of war- 1tke weapons, but that the storm was to burst with sudden fury? ‘The most hopeful sin of the times thit he could discover waa tho grow- inz union hetween the people und the Govern- ment, in consequencs of the latter's sound tinanclal policy, 'Tha 4-per-cent bonds tad tabken ths place of the savings banks, ad the continuation ot this pollcy was certaln to give the mosses an incrensed litercat fo the Gove ment, atul tio them to ity as the people of Franco and England were bound to thelr (lovernments, Ile wanted to see the system of postal suvings banks futroduced to revluce the savings banks of the past und thelr eorruntiuns it abomina- tions, ot which, lisppily, 1the country was now rrnlv,y well iid. ~ By ereatiug this conimunity ot ntereat between the people aud the Govern- ment, tho opposition was sure to b divided. Sowething was gained cvery year fu the matter aof civll order, but much was yet to be done. There was 1o need of ‘more personal liberty, as samoe urged, for, it anything, there was rather more of thot now than people rightly kuew what to do with, Wnat was wanted was ot in- creased liberty amd lawlcssucss, but restraint und hich moral obligation, “Thie remedies for these daugerous tendencles towhich bu bud referred were to by fouud in the schioold nnd the chiurchies, the spread of edus catioval advantages, und the development of solfd morality und real wmavhood, Thero must also bo an bohest Government, aiways acting in the interests of the people. 1Mo was tired of this evarlaating party luterest for mero party ends, 'Phu momont & Congressman arrived at Washlngzton ho scemed to ba tiguring for the loavus nud tishes, laboriug for ro-clection, and fn somo way teylug to sesvo the party.

The lurge ediice was tnadequate to seat the lincove throug, and when tho text wus announced it was slinust bupossible to get stindiug yroom. He selected as bis text the following words: For this is My bloot the vow covenant, which f9 shed for wany for the remlsalou of singe.—St. Mutthew, zxvi., 28, ‘Iho revercud gentleman nkfihn the death of Jesus Chirlst was tho ‘tunsolcuous fact ln His history, and should be kopt hefora the world, He had come Into the world for sliners, lall down Hislifo ant died for them. 1o Mived for others, amnd flls life and death had been cntirely unselfiah.

Ills death was a personal self-surren- der, and His ministry had not been to angels ‘but to men, and tha *“many " referred to in 1he toxt had roference to alnners whow o died to save. The apeaker then read from Romans, viil., Gallatiane, fv., Corinthians, I, and Ie- brows, ii., 0 ahow thiat His death fiad had dienct and aolo reterence to men, snd he contended in an cloquent atraln that 40 ha (the epeaker) had heen throonly sinner, and all the reat of the world had been followers of God, Christ would hiave died for him to {luslrate the proposition that all humanity stood nud grew in the whole wealth of His love and sacrifices jiust as the win- gle blade of prass grew in the entire wealth of the sun's warmth, . The lrlu.kcr next proceeded to conslder the death of Christ ns a voluntary nct, nnd the aton- ing power of Ilis blood. Some contended that they were responsivle for thelr sins, and, want- Inz no one to share the responsibility, refected Christ: and others that the tnnocent death of Christ was nnrighteous, éte. ‘o there propost- tion the spsaker replied that Cnrist had not been required to die, but had voluntarily faced the cross that we might lve, hienco there was 1o un- rightcousnces dn the sacrifice.
