To THe Eprror oF THE HERALD:— in your Sunday’s edition appeared, under the heading “Sabbath and Church Accommodation,” very important statistics regarding places of di- vine worship and the number bttending them on the Sabbath. Either the writer of tnat article is Qt ianit when he says thas not more than 100,000 attend church on any given Sabbath, or the statis- tics lately printed in the Catholic Review and other Catholic journals, that there were in tis city over 400,000 Catholics that attended churcn regularly, err. Being achurchgver and a believer in religi- ous worship 1 might, though bata poor, unedu- cated laborer, show why many peuple absent themselves from church om Sundays and otuer 8. at majority of the people in this clty are poor; and povr and ragged people, no matter how nouest br how pious, are not desira- ble in auy of our fashionable churches. Second—The ciergymen of every denomination geem to dé more bent on good jiving, building Costiy edifices, Gressing extravagantly and paying homage toriches, no mMatier how acquired, thaa Wn instrncting the ignorant, reciaiming tae de- praved or gving out in quest of tue strayed or stolen of their Nocks, dhird—Many of our churches have of late be- come more like theatres than places of divine ‘soip. This Can be seen in many of our preven- tibus churches Waere tney post at the entrance Béyerul persons to collect Stamps, very often Irom tho poor, who are obliged, for want of work and reduced wages, to suiler sor the commouest nec- essaries of ie.

WARM WEATHER CHRISTIANS. The Rev, Dr, Cuyler, in the Evangeitst, after briefly referring to the class of church-goers known as ‘fair weather Christians,” who are in constant dread of spoiling their finertes by going to church on @ threatentug or cloudy day, pays his respects to warm weather Christians in the following vigorous style :— There ts another meseorological phase of reil- gion, It may be styled warm weather piety. 1t 18 regulatod by tue termomecer., ‘ine standard it gues by is DOt the W.rmch Of inward love ior Curiss, but te warmth ol the atmosphere, Its weal cools in proportion ag the weaiber grows hot, When the glass gets avove ninety the inward emotions are congeaicd and piety is “past feel- ing.” is 18 Lhe species of Curistian professors who spend the Sabbath hours fanning tremselves on their plazzas When their pa-tor goes by on bis way to his aud their sanctuary.

For on tne very next day these seif-cod- ditng Christians are of (0 their stores an@ siops, through te oroiling sanshine, or else are pard at work In ther own dwellings, I$ ts “too hot” to worship God jor two hours on the Sabbath, but it is never too hot to toil for Mammon six days during the week. If the worid wonders at such & ‘form of godliness,” what must the Master tuink of it? The ingenious argumeats of the Humes or the Huxieys do not do one tithe of the mischief in shaking our faith in Unristianity that proiessea Ouristians do when they make & Pp gratification of more account tran in eliare, We are not so oiten tempted to scepticism by the depth of imduel argaments as we are by the shalowness of the Christianity exhidited by many of its professors. It 1s the want of its bold on Curisitans that gives Aquila or Priscilla remouncing their religioa cause the weather hot! * * One of tw lamentable effects of ‘warm weather” religion 1s detected in the isese mo: many professors during their summer aose from howe.

Monasticism Asserting Its Hold Over the Mind of the Rural Population. Whata Reformer Experienced in Flanders. A Great Battle Between Thought and Dogma. All Europe Likely To Be Moved from the Little Kingdom. Guent, July 3, 1875. ‘The Senate has passed without discussion the bill rendering the proposal to commit certain crimes penal. As the pressure of the German government had rendered the adeption of the new law a foregone conclusion, perhaps that august boay acted with discretion, if not dignity, in dispensing with the solemn ¢omedy of a de- bate, THE CATHOLIO CHURCH AND THR POLITICIANS. In this town, where liberalism is 80 strong, it might be diMcult for s superficial observer to Uanerstand at first sight how the Catholic Ckurch can be sertously an object of alarm to politicians, Every educated man you meet with 1s strongly. opposed to the pretensions of the priesthood, ana the majority appear to regard tne doctrine anda | cerementa) of the Church ef Rome witb feelings of inte: aversion, Where then, it may be asked, can be the danger in @ country constitu. tionally governed that an unpopular minority should ever be enabled to tyrannize over che re- mainder of their fellow citizens ? THE RURAL POPULATION. The truth 1s that in Belgium as in France the rural population weighs heavily on the inhabi- tants of the great towns, Between tne skilled artisan of Gnent and the farm laborer wno may be toiling at a distance of only two or three miles from him there is a wide gulf. In cities, tho club, the café, the liveral journal, only too spicily written, prove more attractive to the working man than church services or religious proces- sions, Moreover, the clergy cannot exercise the same vighance over their flocks in large cemtres Of population as they can in lttie villages of which ‘they know every inhabitant, and can daily watch the going out and the coming in of each. In- deed, if THE STATEMENTS OF LIBERALS are to be relied on, the clergy admtnister a king of Caudie rule over some oi the rural communities in which they are supreme, The dwellers in one Parish are obliged to go to bed at nine o'clock, ater which hour no light is permitted, even on the darkest nights, A gentleman who passed some time in @ Flemish hamiet declared that life was made insupportable to him. He was suspected of the hateful cmme of entertaining liberal optnions and shunned as a dangerous wild beast or a leper. Having occasion to undertake a journey he dared not leave his wife and children behind him for fear that violence or insult should be offered them. No servant would stay with nim, no one would let bima bouse, children followed him through the streets with execrations, women made the sign of the cross 28 he pasaed. At length ho alieges that he only obtained a dwelling place by promising to be converted, to go to confession and burn a taper to the Virgin Mary. CATHOLICS ANSWER THIS CHARGE by @ flat denial of the narrator’s veracity. But twat the priestuood does exercise an uaparalicied despotism over the minds of men in this country there can be no sort of deubt. In Bruges it ts im- possible to obtain a novel at the circulating brary, as the clergy disapprove of works of flo tion and proprietors of 11braries do pot venture to run counter to their wishes, The device on the seal with which all the books are marked in the principal library is a representation of the Immac- ulate Conception. THE ATTACKS ON THE PILGRIMS, In view of such grave facts the recent attacks on pilgrims, though they cannot be justified, are 1n a large degree explained. Liberais see in pil- grumages @ revival of reiigious fervor; and relig- 10u8 fervor, even when based on the most cher- ished traths of the Christian faith, ts fraught with elements of danger to society. We see in the early history of the Uhurch how the generous en- thuslasm of the first disciples displayed itself tn the establishment of A COMMUNITY OF GooDs among the brethren, and the sacred writings afford us 8 glimpse of the abuses which foliowed 45 @ natural consequence from the system. Faith, teo, except in the strongest minds, is hostile to liberty; and zeal for the interests of the Gnurch has lent to the gentlest spirits—to a Mary Tudor ora Francis of Sales—a gloomy tinge of fanati- cism, Saintly men and women have too often been the most cruel of persecutors; and im a time and country where relig- lous zeal 19 almost invariably accompanied by an acceptance of the worst propositions of the toleration and of the independence of the secular government from the control of ecclesiastical au- thority—tne signs of a Catholic revival may well be regarded with uneasiness, As in Protestant England the preaching of Messrs. Moody and Sankey 1s looked upon with fetlings of profound distrust by cultivated persons, though nine out of every ten profess a belie! scarcely @istinguishabie from that of THE AMERICAN EVANGELISTS, So In Catholic Belgtum the most respectable and orthodox citizens view with impatience and alarm the organization of eeremonials which are imtended to lash an already bigoted maititade into paroxysms of religious mania. Such are especially the sentiments of the younger genera- tion, who have been nourished on diferent intel- lectual pabulum, to the legends of La Salette or the rhapsodies of Marte Slacoque, and whe have a proper appreciation of tho history of their coun- try and ympathy with the best of modern ideas. Nor can the Catholics pretend that they have been uniformly the victims of aggres- sion, Only the other day two bands of clerical holyday makers excited the mirth of the profane by falling foul of one another in tne twilight and coming to vigorous blows; nor could they be separated but by the intervention of tne police. Quite recently, too, a few tourists frem Brussels, who paid @ Visit to St. Nicholas, were shockingly | nandied by the rabbie, as it now turns out, on a mere rumor that they were liberals. The burgo- master and aldermen f St, Nicholas put forta in- deed A CIRCUMSTANTIAL STATEMENT to the effec: that tn the first place the strangers were armed With sticks, and that a leaded one had fallen into the hands of the police cond, that they had paraded the streets brandishing their canes and simging the “Marseiliaise;’ taird, procession.

IN GERMANY. From Germany comes the important news that Dr. Forster. Prince Bishop, of Breslau, who has taken refuge on Aastr oll trom what he is Pleased to calla persecution, has submitted to the Governor General of Silesia the name of a candidate for the ce of Bishop suffragan, Which Is vacant at the present moment, This would, of course, be the Gras step of the self-ex- lled prelate toward complete submission to the Prescriptions of the new law. ‘ihe news seems almost 100 good to be tras at it may be that the Suucuucement has been put forth as @ feeler to see whether Catholic opimion would indorse the concession therepy implied to the demands of the civil power, As, moreover, Catkollo opinion must, in this instance, mean the OPINION OF THB LAITY, for Dr. Forster would assuredly not have mace 80 important @ move except witn the approval of his ecclesiastical colleagues, 1s may be considered Qs bighly probable that the act of suvmission on the part of the Bishop wiilbe received with ani- versal satisfaction, THS PRINCES AND NOBLES of the Empire, once the firmest supporters of the Papacy, are now eager to proclaim themselves Germans first and Catholics afterward, Such is the langaage held by the King of Bavaria, the Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, the Duke of Ratibor and, tn short, by nearly all laymen of note. The peasantry and the country clergy are not, 16 Must be confessed, in so conciliatory a mood, but their resistance to the measures of the government cannot long sarvive tue indifference of their own superiors, THE SWISS REPUBLIC.
