PANTHEISTIO TENDENCIES, @o Tux Eprror or THe Heap ‘The critic wno in a late Sunday’s HERALD called fttention to the pantheism distinctly incuicated «ia tha philosophical nrincinles of “Pradentiug’’ Will be pleased to iearn that bis conclusion had been arnved at and was widely Admitted in Itt- érary circles long before he wisely #¢lected your Paper ag the proper medium of warning.\cautious Teaders against the danger of acceptung Such Principles. Some of the best philosophers of we Catholic Charch have clearly shown taoat the school to which ‘Prudentius” evidently belongs bases its teaching upon principles that necessarily yead to pantheism. It is true, indeed, that these conclusions, ag truly nanthsisue as those of the profound and sincere Spinosa, are disclaimed by their authors. But when they start from Ens, pure being, as their primum philosophicum, no artifi- ofal logic or clever ratiocination can savé them from falling into the pit of deepest pantheism, and ulteriorly into Hegeiism and nibilism, In- gennousness ie far better here than subtle ingenu- ity which endeavors to evade the necessary con- sequences Of first principles. These principles are Uniortunately taught in ail schools and colleges conducted by the members 0: a certain religious Order claiming to present the best teaching of the Churoh, The result is so astounding as to terrify many when they look to the future of the Church, The members of this Order ought to be astonished at finding their own pupils among the foremost in expelling them from almost ail Catholic countries and adopting pantheism as their only creed. It comes radically trom accepting the doctrine of intermediary ideas 80 fatal to true philosophy. No vetter example of this can be adduced than the masterly attempt of ‘Prudentius’” to apply it to an explication of the Christian idea of creation. That he haa utterly failed is not the fanit of his facile pen and thought!ul mind. From the princi- ples imbibed from a0 many years’ association with the above mentioned Oruer comes the fault, which can never be remedied but by accepting as the first rinciple in philosophy the creative act of God, formulated by the greatest of American philoso- phers in the expression Deus creat existentias, N. RELIGIOUS AND CIVIL LIBERTY IN CATHOLIC COUNTRIES, In reply to & communication which appeared Tecently in the HERALD on infallibility and the Vatican decrees a correspondent, “J. E.,” writes that history has deen utterly ignored and it is made to appear that the Catholic Uhurch, in- stead of being the intolerant persecutor that his- tory represents her, is the most tolerant, and, indeed, bas been a great sufferer for civil and re- ligious liberty, He therefore’asks, was the Inqui- sition & myth? and proceeds to contrast the {ree- dom, both religious and political, which prevails in Protestant ana in Vatholic countries. He in- sists that in Rome and Italy, before the advent of Victor Emmanuel, where the Pope and the Roman vatholic Churcn had exclusive dominion, both tem- poral and spiritual, there Was no religious liberty; that others than Catholics could not erect churches, meet together and worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences beneath their own vine and fig tree, with no one to molest and make them airaid. And when, in tne course of time, it was manifest that the great majority of the people in Rome and the provinces subject to the Pope were hot satistied with the temporal government and the degree o! liberty meted out to them, were they, he asks, given leave by the very centre of this professedly liberty loving Church to form & government to suit themselves? Our corespondent answers in the negative and adds that the Pope is even now desirous of rein- stating himsel! in his temporal sovereignty over the Italian people by the aid of foreign bayonets. Js it true or is it not true, asks “J. E.,”” that in Catholic countries where the Pope and the Catholic priesthood have and have had exclusive religious control that there has been and to-day less toleration. for those holding different views and a greater disposition to persecute them and deprive taem of their God-given rights to think for themselves, to read, preach and worship God in their own way, than exists in Protestant countries toward Catholics? Now, @ Church which persecutes has a right to expect persecution in return, and has no just right to complain, for the measure which we mete tu others will surely be measured to us again. This is a law of life which churches and nations, as weil as indi- viduals, should heed. It is not what we do in aur- ance or in a state of servitude where we have not the power to do differently, but what we doin freedom, when we have the power of choice, which determines our true character. 1t is precisely the same with churches. Being in the common ac- ceptation of the term neither a Catholic nora Protestant, bat believing that there are good Christians in allchurches and out of tue churches, 1, witha great many others, would like to have no fears for the fate of religious toleration ana liberty Jrom the progress of Catholicism or aby other sect in our midst. That there can be no civil liberty without religious Itberty, 1 think, is sell-evident. Looking at the history of the past and even present indications of the love of rule m the world, ishould have little hope tor human freedom were it not for my faith in the Lord, and my belief that He is spectally striving to bring the nations and all people up out of civil and religious servitude into a state of genuine freedom, where every man shall feel at liberty, and that it is every man’s duty to obey the sacred injunction, “Prove all things, and hold fast to that which is good,” and not to blindly pin his faith upon some one else’s skirts, : JE. THE LINEAGE OF JESUS OF NAZARETH THE CHRIST. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— ‘There is a question asked of a Cnristian, minis- ter, theologtan or any one else to expiain, tf they can, whether Christ was the offspring of David. The writer admits that Joseph was from the seed of David, according to the record shown by Matthew. Now, who was Mary? Was she not a kinswoman to Joseph, of the same family and gen- eration? Therefore she must be the seed of David. ‘Then the question is asked, How can Christ be the seed of David? The promise was mae through the seed of David, as the prophet declares, “Saith the Lord; I will raise unto David a righteous branch,” one to inherit the promise made to David. Idirect your correspondent’s attention to the beginning of our record, commencing with Adam. Was not woman the first fruits of man? Adam deciares that Eve waa taken from his fifth rib while he was in a profound sleep, This is our only record and I accept its truth, ag itis given tousasatestimony. Then Eve was the offspring of Adam, by promise of God to him, as-a helpmate; as I claim that @ promise was made to David tnrougn his seed that @ righteous branch should appear. A branch 18 not rom a seed ; It 18 @ shoot that springs up /rom the root ofa tree, not from the original seed, but an offspring of the root. Thus Eve was the offspring of Adam by promise, Now I claim that Christ coula not come as the seed of man, for then He would be tne original tree of man and not @ branch; but the promise ts of a righteous brancn through the seed of David. The prophet declares that Christ is to be the root and offspring of David. Now, it Christ 1s the root, or the Sonpengot root, He ie could not be from the seed; br wi brought into the world thro wu % and that seed was Mary, tl nddaughter of David, say of the twonty-eighth generation; thereiore her son would be the grandson of David of the twenty-ninth generation. I think that it nas al- Ways been granted that a daughter’s child was a grandchild as well as & son’s child. Now, as to the conception of Mary, it was by promise through the Holy Ghost. It appears that Mary wos espoused to Joseph, and about the time they were to be married Joseph found that she was with child, and was disposed to put her away privately and not make her @ public shame, for he could not afford to disgrace big own house, as Mary was of hisown blood anda kinswoman, While Joseph was weighing th things over in his mind be- hoid an angel appeared to him in a dream saying “Joseph, thou son of David, jear not to take unto thee Mary, thy wife.” He obeyed the voice of the angel, believed what was told him, and waited for tho fdifiment of tne promise made to him by the angel. Matthew declares that Joseph was @ just mao, Why did he think him @ just man? For this reason: Joseph went to Matthew and Opened his moutn and told nim alt his troubles and what the ange) had told him, and said he would wait for the promise of the angel. Then Matthew called him 4 just man, Mary also told her story and was believed. The child Jesus came according to promise. The wise men who foi- lowed the burning star affirmed that the entld that they sought was the child that they found with Mary in the manger. Herod heard that there such @ child promised, and he ired the wise men to return to him that he might go and worship it algo, Matthew gives a full account of all the acts of Obrist and His working of mira- cles. All the aposties have aiso been ving wit nesses to these lacts, and were fully persuaded by what they eaw and what was done by Christ, and tne fulfilment of the law as well a that of ise, and they solemnly affirm that ail tha wri ten of Ohriat is true and faitnfal. When Paul speaks to the Galatians he says foolisn Galatians, as | would say foolish correspondent, you can- not discern the difference between the law and a promise, for if the inheritance be of the law it is no more of promise; but bet ve it to Abraham by promise.

Savannau, Gao, Dec. 14, 1874, J. GORDON BENNETT, Esq. :— DEAR Str—Your note of the 5th ult. came duly tohand. lam just now too much engaged with the affairs of my diocese to have time for an elab- orate discussion of the subject to which you rejer, Our Saviour has given us the rule that we shoald “render to Owsar the things tnat are Ce sar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” We must, there- fore, give to God all that belongs to Him, and to whe Civil government all that belongs to it, But may not Cesar irom time to time demand for him- sel! that which belongs to God? Have politicians been so pure and enlightened as never to ask but for those things which bde- long to Cwsar? Have they not often sought for themselves that which belongs only to God? History tells us that kings and govern- ments have often gone out of the sphere ascribed to them oy the Almighty and claimed things which clearly belonged to God. This our own federal constatution recognizes in declaring un- constitutional any law infringing on the con- sciences of the people. While we must give to the State ali that belongs to it, still, when it asks of us what belongs to God only, we must say with the aposties, “Ir it be just im the sight of God to hear ye rather than God, judge ye.” Sut in sucha crisis who is to tellus what are the things which belong to God? Not Cresar, not the State; for they never received any commission from heaven to tell us what are the things of God, But'the Church of Christ has received the commission to teach all nations, and has the divine prom- ise that the gates of hell shail not prevali against her. The Church is Christ’s own bride, She ts not & miserable slattern that ts always needing reformation; so despicable that she is every now and then being seauced until) some gtortous reformer rises up to rebuke her for her licentiousness. Such a bride would not be worthy of @ respectable man, much less of Jesus Christ, But “she is a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle nor any such thing.’ Not only the Paraciete, the spirit of truth, is to dwell with her all days, but Christ himself has promised to abide with her until the end of time. In the Church, therefore, the spotiess bride of Christ, we Catholics have one who will and can infallibly teach all nations what are the things of God. Thus the Church teaches her children that tn all tnings belonging to the civil order they must give to the government the proper reverence and obedience; for they are “the things of Ov: ” And im questions concerning consctence she ts there to tell her children how far Cesar may go without usurping to timself the things that are God’s, She thus on the one band provides good subjects to the State, and on the otner avoids the Tock of anarchy which would result from allowing every man, Woman and child to be the judge whether or not the enactments of the State clash with the duties owing by the individual to his God, She, the bride of Cnrist, “holy and without blem- ish,” cannot lead us astray; for Christ, loving her even as @ husband loves his wire, is consequently ‘willing to protect her, and He is abie to do a0, for He the Son to whom it hath been said:—“Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.” In the lapse of ages Cxsar, the State, has often demanded for himself what belongs to God. And because the children of the Church, unwilling t give to Cesar the things that are God's, reply to such demands of Cesar, “If it be just inthe sight of God to hear ye rather than God, judge ye,” the same old accusation all the way down from Nero and Diocletian to the Robespierres, Victor Emmanuels, Bismaroks and the Parisian, Communists af gd. ern times is brought up that the Catholics are not loyal enough to tue civil government. The action of Mr. Gladstone, therefore, does not surprise us Catholics. It is notning new. it is only the trite old “no popery” cry, which has more than once resounded through England, sending » Pious shiver to the heart of sturdy John Bull. We Catholics tn Ameriea, who are somewhat ac- quainted with the fmmaculate loyaity of potiti- cians, regard Mr, Gladstone’s action as merely the frantic effort of @ brokem down politican to recover office. I am nos of the number Of those who think thet the same howl may not be raised tn this country. America seems to suffer from periodical attaeks of the uo popery distemper, The present, indeed, seems to be a favorable moment. The negro question peng now worn threadbare, an immense aumver of virtuous Politicians have been suddenly left in a most dis- ‘ressing want of themes upon which to warn Americans of the dangers threatening the liber- tes of eur Union.. What a stroke of luck, there- fore, would this question of tnfallibility prove to these most unselfish patriots who, like Mr, Glad- stone, are so willing to accept office for their country’s good if they eonld put stir up the ghost of another Know Nothing crusade against Catho- lics, and thus ride once more into power! Yours, &c., tW. H. GROSS, Bishop of Savannah, RELIGIOUS THEATRICALS. INCONSISTENCIES OF CHRISTIAN sOCIETIES-— HOUSES OF WORSHIP CONVERTED INTO THEA- TRES, GROCERY STORES, RESTAURANTS, SHOOT- ING GALLERIES, ETC,—CHRISTIANITY INFERIOR TO PAGANISM. There is no organization among men 80 practl-+ cal in many respects and yet so impractics! and inconsistent in others as the Church. It condemns the world for being worldly and condemns sts own members for not being of one mind. It von- demns the theatres, but applauds church fairs and festivals and concerts and pantomimes and the like. The theatre 1s condemned, too, on hear- say testimony, a kind of evidence that is not ad- missible either in this world or in the next; but fairs—paper fairs, necktle fairs, apron fairs, toy and doll fairs, fruit and fower fairs and @ host of kindred gatherings—are perfectly proper in the eyes of church people and quite consistent with their elastic consciences. This is the season of fairs, and here are a few samples of this business for the current season. It may safely be asserted that there was nothing more offensive in the Temple of Jerusa- Jem when Jesus of Nazareth took the scourge of small cords and drove from that nouse of prayer the money changers and the dealers in doves and those who had converted it into a den of thieves than ts to be found to-day in many so- called? Christian houses of worship. One godly congregation, whose location we omit laid in a large stock of groceries, according to its pud- lished accounts, and received orders and deliv- ered’ goods at the homes of its customers; and this was in addition to “a splendid stock of toys and dolls,’ “confectionery spread in tempting ar- ray,” together with fancy articles, Nowers, books and stationery, refrespments and “everything to delight the eyes of the lads and the jasses,” includ- ing the usual stock of “beautifal young ladies.’ Here isa CHRISTIAN CHURCH CONVERTED INTO A GROCERY, fancy and toy store, and the reporter who visited it was so impressed with the grocery adjunct that he wrote of it as “a novel feature of this fair.’? Bad as it was to sell doves for sacrifice in the Temple it must have been less offensive to Christ than such an exhibition in His house ts in this age of the world and by’a Congregational soctet: ln an Episcopal church {air a grocery table was also set and stocked with “an abundant supply of canned fruits and groceries.” Here is @ reporter’s summary of another fair in a Baptist church:—“Articles of every kind and variety are offered for saie at pricesequal to the best bargains.” And then he adds that “the ladies believe in doing everything above board and discountenance. the custom of squeezing money for nothing out of good- natured old gentlemen.” In other words, they don’t resort to a system of trea 3 robbery, so tospeak. For it is little better t! that to put a man in @ position where he has either to give money for something he does not want, and which, moreover, if ne does want there may not be one chance in a hundred that he will get, or.appear to be mean and stingy because he will not be so ten- derly ropbed. No Coristian woman should put any one in sucha position. Nd honest, right-minded Person, whether Christian or pagen, would do it. Another Baptist church added 8 “New England kitchen” to its attraction, irom which it “furnished brown bread ana baked beans, appie dumplings, chicken and fixings,” while another kitchen “sent forth te modern subjeots for gastronomical re- search. Another charch fair exhibits 4 “PUNCH AND JUDY SHOW” at ten cents a head, and exhibits a miniature yacht for another small sum. And then we have de- scribed minutely the beauty of the ladies and the order and weaith on the tables at which they serve. In this description and enumeration we find jewelry and silverware, candy, perfumery and fancy soaps, willow work and refreshments, Floral or evergreen houses, with a modern Rachel or Rebecca sitting at 8 lemonade well and dis- pensing sugared water to male simpletons at so much a glass are concomitants in all church fairs, as they are in this. Concerning & Methodist church fair we are informed ‘that the usual refreshment, candy, ice cream, oyster and fancy tables, lemonade well flower bower and side shows were well stocked and calculated «to attract purchasers.” The “fair Rachels,” we are told, also were kept busy dispensing: the sweetened juice to a thirsty crowd out of ‘a decidedly realistic ‘old oaken backet.’” A telegraph too, it appeared, did a good busines: messages flew thick and fast irom one end of the room to the other. Such catchpenny tricks sre no better than those prac- tised by three-card monte men, and are certainly incompatible with @ high type of ae And yet this is the prevailing type of this age. It is not confined alone to Methodists, Baptists and Oongregationalists. It has spread itself among all denominations, and we find the staid Episcopalians, reformed ahd needing reform, resorting to tne same means to replenish their exchequers. In a Reformed Episcopal church fair we read ol ‘@ fancy worked chair of some value, which ts to be allotted to the person receiving the greatest num- ber of votes trom the patrons of the fair.” In other words, the game of chance receives the sanction of the ministers and professed iollowers of Christ and his aposties. In an unreiormed Episcopal church reireshments and ice cre: neckties, pincushions, ae and @ vanety of similar Goods, we are told, were geltly served to all comers. In another an oil painting of tne “Madonna and Child,” valued st $100, was dis- posed of by chance or lottery. And in ‘A UNIVERSALIST CHURCH FalR, to all the foregoing attractions there was added a’ fortune tree, around which we are told the young people collected and got a glimpse of the future from a painted slip in an empty egg shell. The Preabyterians, the Unitartans and the Catholics indulge in like religious inconsistencies. In a prominent Presbyterian church in Brooklyn, a few evenings ago, an entertainment—tableaux they called it—was even parts of which have appeared from time to time in theatres of New York, and probably bh: deen most heartily condemned at some time or ether there. But it is quite a differ- ent thing when a church {8s converted into a theatre and without the theatrical adjuncts the same representations are given there. In a Reiormed vutch church in the same City of Churches we are informed that ‘or the young men there was a second edition of Creedmoor, where they could learn to become crack shots.” How ennobling! Young men taught to be grocers, confectioners, marksmen, gambiers, and young women to be fortune hanters or fortune tellers: {t may be long belore they are taught to be Christians, And ail this in the name of Christianity and of Onrist, and in churches devoted to His worship and honor. In a Catholic church we are told thas the billiard table was con- tinually crowded, In another, just closed, $5,000 were realized by the sale of sliver, china, embroi- dered chairs, rugs, Wax work, &c, in another we Bre told that the amusements every evening were quite entertaining, and that the les contained an immense number of valuable pi Friends, too, have fallen into this trreligious way of making money. And yet, notwithstanding these extra inducements and worldly wise attrac- tions, {THE CHURCHES ARE EMPTY, or nearly so, on Sundays and week evenings, while the theatres are crowded every ere and the gambling and billiard saloons are nightly filled with young men, And the pastors and pious church folk wonder why it ts 80, and bgt Ea gnd complain that the world 1s going he! ong. w rdition, The former days, they say, were better Ber ethan er a son ones Set rn had not then tu What ber sa ae pales eae el Serta ty dau atl a Sritae ee be to amy music that the churohes can furnish or any Rare the a can preech.

Therefore to change the old adage 4 little * the better the place the better the deed.” The end sanctifies the means. It ig all designed for the Lord’s work. Therefore let us do evil that good may come! But are our church societies so poor that they must resort to Means like these to raise money? Not at alt, One of these churches indicated has wealth enough represented in it on any Sunday inthe year not only to liquidate whatever debt rests upon toe edifice but to pay. out half a dovem butidings like 1t and scarcely feel the burden, In another there are a dozen men who could eastly figure out one and a hall or two million of dollars, for which their names would be taken tn anj bank ta New York. In other churches indicase there are men worth indiviaually from $20,000 to $300,000, but they are too poor to give money to the Lora’s service unless they can get a little side show thrown tn about Christmas time along with the preaching and praying. Some of these men, too, proless to be wholly devoted to Christ and to bold their wealth simpl. bounty. They certainly show one characteristio of the “unjust steward’—nis duplicity, but nos his shrewdness. SELFISHNESS AND PHILANTHROPY ON PARALLEL LINES, Nothwithstanding the growing philanthropy of this age, It is a thoroughly selfish and seif-seeking age. Few men care to part with $1, even tor benevolent and Christian objects unless they see §2 in prospect for it. Hence church fi tableaux, pantomimes and side snows of differen’ kinds are resorted to to obtain that which should be given cheerfully as unto the Lord by those whom He has abundantly blessed. And not only the churches, but their denominational organs, have taken up this spirtt and practice in anotner phase of{t, And hence, to induce men to pay or $3.8 year for a weekly billet of religious newa, they must get a five dollar picture or somes thing else as a bribe. But the same mem find little or no dimicuity in paying $12 or $20" @ year for secular papers that offer no such Induces ments. What is the moral of this? Can the stream rise higher than tts source ? By and by, tf this type of religion continues to prevatl, we shali expect ta see the churches offer similar premiums to people to get them to attend their services at all. Indeed, already many of them tell us in their weekly ad- vertisements what extra attractions they oifer im the way of fine music, vocal or tnstrumental, or sensavional topics of discussion in their puipits. But the masses show that they can distinguish counterfeit from the genuine, and they let ti organ or the quartet waste their sweetness on the desery air and the sensational preacher pour forth his eloquence on empty seats—a just retribution. for such infidelity to truth and to God.
