II \I)S FOR IVrEUSTYTE PARK.
Grorge H. Ilaxzard ut Madison Walt.
Ing; on \Vi*coiiMiii I,cK"i"lalorM.
Mr. George n. Hazzard, of St. Paul,
Minnesota's Interstate park commission
er, says the State Journal, Is in Madison
lv the Interest of that enterprise. The
committee on claim:; has unanimously
recommended J6.500 to purchase the Wis
consin park lands, as approved by the
American I'aric and Out-Door Art as
sociation. .Minnesota has alreay purchas
ed for $8,000 its lands (lf>o acres of the
most picturesque sites along the St.
Crolx river for two miles) and appro
priated in addition $?>,OOO to clear it up.
The lands on the Wisconsin side have al
ready been selected and surveyed. The
Dresser bill provides for the purchase
of these 600 acres, which control the unit
of scenery, and for the establishment of
the park, thus keeping faith with
Minnesota and perfecting the project.
Wisconsin was the first to frame legis
lation (in 1896) embodying Mr. Hazzard's
Ideas. Minnesota has been more prompt
In doing her part, but the way Is now
clear for Wisconsin to co-operate. The
federal government has shown Its ap
proval of the plan by spending $4,000 on
a survey of an area, twelve to seventeen
miles, three-quarters of which lies in
Wisconsin. Tills will carry maps and an
atlas giving the geological and topo
graphical features.
Popularly speaking the outcome will be
a park that will receive recognition as
the most remarkable glacier garden In
the world. Its botanical features are un
surpassed. It has over 1,000 species of
the higher plant life. It will perpetuate
animal life, as a preserve of game. The
cost of maintenance will be slight. It
lies along both banks of the beautiful
St. Croix and will be visited by thousands
annually.

WHY I AM A CATHOLIC

CLEAR AND CONCISE ADDRESS
Delivered to mi Appreciative Audi
ence at St. Jani.es' Charch— One
Set of Doctrine* Taught in All
C'atbolic ChurcheM Christ Fojtiu
ed a Society on Earth With n Dis
tinct Head.
Bishop John Shanley, of North Dakota,
addressed a large and- appreciative audi
ence at St. James' Catholic church last
evening. The subject, "Why I Am a
Catholic," was handled at some length
by the bishop. The address was clear
and concise, unmistakable In Its meaning,
and -weighty in Its delivery. Previous to
the address a musical programme last-
Ing over an hour was rendered. Bishop
Shanley spoke in part as follows:
"The question to be considered this
evening is 'Why I am a Catholic' Vari
ous reasons which need not be mentioned
impel me to speak on this subject tonight.
The question is a broad one, and to do
justice to it In the brief time allotted to
me is out of the question. I can at most
allude to a very few, but very substantial
reasons.
"I am a Christian because I believe
firmly that the babe who was born in
the grotto of Bethlehem 1900 years ago,
and who has left His influence upon the
world from that period to our own day,
was the one who had been foretold In un
mistakable terms by a long series of men,
known as prophets, and awaited 4,000
years with great anxiety by the world at
large. I believe that that babe who was
born in Bethlehem was God, and I believe
that He proved His divinity, not His
likeness to the Almighty, but His equal
ity with God the Father, .both by ful
filling In His own person the prophecies
that are contained In the records of the
Old Testament and by the actions of His
earthly career, which are set forth in
those four books of the New Testament,
known as the four gospels. Never did man
perform the prodigies that Jesus, the Son
of Man, the Babe of Bethlehem wrought.
The prophecies fulfilled in Jesus Christ
and the miracles worked by Him before
the eyes of the world stamped His mis
sion as a divine mission and proved con
clusively to every unprejudiced thinker
the divinity of Him who claimed to be
God. So I am a Christian, as I believe
firmly in the divinity of Jesus Christ.
DIVIDED CHRISTIANITY/
"Christianity, unfortunately, has been
divided. In this city of ours, there are
I know not how many churches. Now in
all the Catholic churches the same gospel
has been read this morning and in all
probability the same lesson taught.and so
we hear the same truth Sunday after
Sunday. The self-same truths are taught
in every Catholic church in this city. In
other churches, not Catholic, I defy any
man to tell what set of doctrines are
taught. Certainly the doctrines main
tained by the Catholic church are not
taught In any of them. In some of them
the people have been taught that unless
they have been plunged under the water
in baptism there is no place for them
in the kingdom of heaven. Tn other
churches they have been taught that
baptism is one of those myths. In other
churches they have been taught that
there are three persons in one God.
Again, in some churches, they have been
taught that there Is but one person In
God. In other churches, also, they have
been taught that there Is a hell with
brimstone and fire.
"Conflicting doctrines have been taught
in all the ohureh°s outside of the Catholic
churches in this city. Well, now, it is
an utter impossibility that these doc
trines set forth from all these conflict
ing pulpits be all equally true, as they
are pointedly opposed one to the other
And it becomes a very important question
for us to consider which, if any, of these
various churches possess the truth that
the Babe of Bethlehem came into this
world to bring to the church of men. Now
I contend that this truth is found In
the Catholic church, and In the Catholic
church alone, and that is one reason why
I am a Catholic.
ESTABLISHED A SOCIETY,
"One fact stands forth very prominent
ly in the life of our Blessed Savior He
came Into this world to save the souls
of all men. He lived, not merely for the
Jews, who had the unspeakable happiness
of hearing the words of life from His
divine lips. But He lived for you and
me for all the nation.,, and for all time,
and He desired that all men should know
6 bri)U^ h t upon earth,
and that through the knowledge of that
truth should como to enjoy the vision of
God forever To carry out the mission
, ft " He had returned to His heavenly
1-ather, He established a society com
posed of men. which society, perfectly or
ganized by Him. was empowered and
commissioned by Him to carry on the
grand work of instructing men in the self
same truths, and with the self-same au
thority in which the divine founder of
the society instructed men. That truth
stands forth most prominent in the life
of our blessed Redeemer. You know how
He instructed them day after day and
you know the promises that He made to
them. You know that the mission that
He confided to them, the grand commis
sion reported by one of the apostles in
these words, 'Preach the gospel to every
creature He that believeth and is baptiz^
not 5? i h SaVe<J , : and hS that believeth
not shaU be condemned.' And another.
Go ye therefore, teach all nations, teach
ing them to observe all things whatso
ever I have commanded you, and lam
with you all days even unto the consum
mation of the world.' Such was the so
ciety that Christ Instituted, and such its
magnificent mission, and such the divine
protection itself promised to it in the
carrying out of its grand work. He Insti
tuted those men
WE CALL THE APOSTLES
as an organized body;' gave to them the
self-same organization that sensible long
headed men would give to any society
organized among them. He gave to it
first a head Did anyone ever hear of
a bodj of rational men forming itself into
a society and not placing a governing
power over that society? Christ gave to
that society complete organization first
and before all other things he establish
ed a head. Of those twelve apostles he
appointed one, Simon, to be the head of
that society. The society he called his
church. Christ also gave to that society
his own powers, whatever they might
have been. His own powers to teach
for instance; his own powers to solve the
difficulties, to answer questions in re
gard to the meaning of divine revela
tion. 'He that heareth you, heareth Me
and he that despiseth you, desplseth Me '
"This society, thus organized and hav
ing for its grand mission the salvation
of all mankind, was to exist in such a
way as to be easily ascertained, found
out by all sincere inquirers. Membership
In that society was essential to salvation
He that believeth not shall be condemn
ed; he that will not hear the church he
says again, let him be to thee as a heath
en and publican.
CHARACTERISTIC MARKS.
"It is but natural to suppose that In
our investigations to find the true Chris
tian church we should find certain char
acteristic marks to segregate It from all
spurious claimants, and the mere consid
eration of the object of the church sug
gests to everyone the necessity of four
plain marks that must be found exist
ing in that church of Christ in all the
ages and pointing it out to all Inquirers
as the one of eternal salvation. Anyone
considering the object of the -church, the
founder of the church itself, must admit
that the church, as Christ Instituted it,
could teach but one set of truths: Unity,
or.eness in faith, is an essential charac
teiistic of the true church of Chrlat
THE ST. PAUI, GkOBE, MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1839.
wherever it can be found. And this great
lesson the apostle sets forth when he
says, one faith, one baptism and one God.
"This unity In faith consists In all the
members of the true Christian church be
lieving the same doctrine of faith, the
same truth that has been revealed. Tt
consists of all the members of the church
in all ages believing: the same set of
truths, so that he who is a true member
of the church of Christ today must be
lieve what the true members of the
church of Christ believed In the fifteenth
an<J sixteenth centuries, In the tenth, the
eighth, fifth and first, which they be
lieved In the days when our blessed Lord
worked here upon earth. This unity of
faith implies necessarily some central
power in the church which maintains the
same course of doctrine, among: the people
of one age and among the people of ages
past. Such is our speculative tendency
that without such a center of unity, such
a central authority, unity would soon dis
appear from the land. So that the first
characteristic mark of the Christian
church, wherever It is found, is oneness in
faith, the same set of doctrines believed in
all ages and by all children of the church,
and kept free from Intermingling of er
ror. Oneness In faith is certainly one of
the shining marks of the church of
Christ.
CHURCH MUST BE HOLY.
"The second mark of the true church'
of Christ arises also from even a casual
examination of the mission of the church,
and that is sanctity, holiness. The church
must be holy because of the holiness of
her founder. It is the work of God Him
self. The object of the existence of the
church is to make the souls of men holy.
'It Is hot the mission of the church to
teach any of the sciences. The mission
of the church of Christ is to bring man
to God, to love God and to serve Him,
that he may be happy with Him forever
after. Sanctity necessarily must.be found
in the true church of Crist, wherever it
is. She must have within herself the
means of forgiving the sins of men, if un
fortunately they have fallen into evil.
She must have within her fold many a
man who practices the lessons that are
taught to them by the holy church; show
the sanctity. of the church in the sanctity
of their own lives. This note of holiness,
. I think you will agree, is essential to the
true church of Christ wherever it is
found.
"But this note of holiness means some
thing further. It does not imply that ev
ery individual member in the church of
our Blessed Lord should be a canonized
saint. It does not by any means mean
that such a thing as a sinner is unheard
of in the true church of our Blessed
Savior. f!ie object of Christ's mission
was to bring sinners to repentance. He
came not to save the just, but to save
the sinners. He spoke to the poor woman
and consoled her when the Jews would
put her to death. He spoke to poor Mag
dalen and sanctified her. He spoke to
Peter, after Peter himself had proved a
traitor, and forgave him.
ESSENTIALS OF SANCTITY.
"The sanctity which is a note of the
church consists essentially in the teach
ings of the church. The doctrine of the
true church of the living God must be
pre-eminently holy.
"The third note is that It should be
universal. Christ did not come to save
only the Jews, but he called the Gentiles
as well. He loved the poor. Preach the
gospel to every creature. Go, teach all
nations, and so the church of God, the
true church of God, roust be a universal'
church, embracing all tin? nations of the
world and all the nations of all the times.
And the teaching of the true church of
God must embrace all the teachings con
tained in the revelation made to us by
the founder of that church. Not a por
tion of those teachings, but all of them.
'Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded.'
"Universality is the third distinguish
ing mark of the true church. The church
was founded by Christ upon the apostles.
The twelve. And It was the twelve that
he gave the commission to -go and preach
the gospel to all. These are the four
marks that come to us naturally from
the consideration that Christ had in view
himself: Unity, sanctity, universality,
as to time and as to doctrine, apostolicity.
WHY HE'S A CATHOLIC.
Now, brethren, why am I a Catholic?
I am a Catholic, not because my father
and mother were Catholics, not because
I find nice language in the translation of
the Bible, not because lots of rich people
belong to the Catholic church and it is
nice to get into nice society; I am a Cath
olic because in that church which Is
known as the Catholic church I find the
unmistakable characteristics of the
church of Jesus Christ. I find a unity
of faith, sanctity of doctrine. I am a
Catholic because In the Catholic church
I find the fourth great mark of religious
truth, apostolicity. I can go back, back,
back through the years of time until I
come to Simon, to whom Jesus Christ
said: 'Thou art Peter, and upon this rock
I shall build my church, and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against It.'
"The four marks, essential marks, of
genuine Christianity of the true church
of Jesus Christ are found in the Catholic
church. No one dare question, no one
can successfully contradict the state
ment that she is one In her doctrine. All
through the centuries the Catholic
church, the church presided over by the
bishop of Rome, has made it her proud
boast to be always the same in her doc
trine; the catechism that is taught today
in your church Is substantially in every
church in the world. In every language
in the world. The Catholic, wherever he
may go, receives the same sacraments,
the same baptism, the same penance, the
same sacrament of confirmation, the
anointing of the dying, the sacrament of
matrimony, and the sacrament of holy
orders. The Catholic world is held in
unity of faith by central power. Rome
speaks. The pontiff of Rome speaks. No
matter what his nationality may be,
what his age may be, Rome speaks
through her pontiff, and Catholic worlds
say Rome has spoken. Where Peter is,
there Is the church. Unity of faith and
CENTRAL AUTHORITY
by which unity is preserved in the church
is recognized as it exists in the church
Catholic. We defy the world to show
one doctrine In the Catholic church which
Is an unholy doctrine. It is upon the doc
trines of the church that the sanctity of
the church is to be determined.
"The laity knows Catholic origin a3
well as the clergy. We challenge the
whole world to point to one single doc
trine of the Catholic teaching that is op
posed to sanctity, or that which in its
remotest deductions can lead to Immoral
doings. That Is a broad challenge to
make, but it Is made deliberately.
"It is not an argument against the
sanctity of the Catholic church to say
that In the long line of 250 or more Ro
man pontiffs here and there, In an age
of depravity, and even where the Ro
man pontiff was made the tool of an age
of wire pulling, some few men were
found exalted to that high position whose
lives were not all that could be desired.
The Catholic church Is holy in her teach
ings. She is holy In the means of
sanctlflcation which she possesses within
herself.
CATHOLIC LIFE.
"What Is the truth in regard to Cath
olic life? The majority of our Catholic
families are what we would wish them
to be, God-fearing and God-loving per
sons. We are proud to be able to bear
this testimony to our earnest, sincere,
Catholic people. They honor their God.
They make no boast of It at all. They
are holy. Here and there we find a
Catholic who disobeys the laws of God,
and, his wrong-doing becoming known
to the public, the church suffers for the
wrong-doing of the few.
"Universality exists in the Catholic
church, and it is because of
HER UNIVERSAL CHARACTER
that she Is called and has been called
through all the centuries the church
Catholic. Catholic and universal mean
the self-same thing. Go to any city in
the world and ask where Is the Catholic
church. You will be sent to the church
bearing the four plain marks which I
have already mentioned. You will be
sent to such a church as you and I are
now In. The world recognizes the fact
that the Catholic church Is the church
that la nrestded over by the Roman nan-
tiff; the successor of Peter 1 , whom Christ
made the hoad of the church.
"We can trace the history of our popes
and our bishops back through the gloomy
days of the middle ages to the recesses
of the catacombs, back to the days of
the apostles, and every Catholic priest
who presents himself before, his congre
gation comes armed with unmlstakabl*
and unimpeachable 'credentials. It is not
enough to put on a', clerical ooat. In tha
Cathdilo church 'fcrd^natlon by an accred
ited successor of the apostles is a neces
sary condition lnithe Catholic ministry.
"Let me add that'i find those notes In
no other church. Name the church you
will, and I wlll"name for you the time
it started. I will jjive you the name of
Its founder, and" that name will not ba
Jesus Christ. I want the church of God's
authority, in A'o church will you find
community of faith outside of the Cath
olic church. Th<iy are founded upon false
principles, principles of disintegration,
private Judgment. Unity is impossible
outside of the chuVch that has the cen
ter of unity. In rrone of the other churches
is there to be found a center of unity.
So, in none of '"the" 'churches outside of
the Catholic chtirelv is there unity or Is
there sanctity, \jr Is there universality,
or is there apostoliclty. None of the four
marks which are absolutely essential to
the true Christian church are found out
side of the Catholic chiirch. In the Cath
olic church all ' of the- four marks are
found. They are so clear that any un
prejudiced mind must see them. They are
necessary in the church which Jesus
Christ established, and therefore the
church of Rome, the church of LeoXIII.,
the church of Peter, is the true church
of Jesus Christ."

IVU U. WAgHBIRS JR. ISSUES A
. LITTLE PAMPHLET OS "OUR .
ISLAND PROBLEMS"
Take* the Position That the lulled
States Should Exnaud to the Ex
tent of 'Retaining What It Has
Recently Acquired by. War.
W. D. Washburn Jr., of Minneapolis!
has just issued a little pamphlet under
the title "Our Island Problems," in which
he urges the government to "keep them
all." Mr. Washburn says in part:
A people that has hitherto attended
strictfy to its own, affkirs, and studiously
, remained within' the : limits of its own
continent, the United States is today
called, upon to arrange the destinies of
three different peoples in three different
-quarters of the globe. Happy, for an
entire century, :ftT tfte universal belief
that tne nation .would never extend its
boundaries beyond its own continent, the
Lnited States finds' ftself today the em
barrassed owner «f colonies of whose
■acquisition its people had never dreamed.
Foreign nations, judging our civiliza
tion by their own, can never be con
vinced that we had not cleverly planned
tne acquisition of these islands beyond
the sea. Happily, our own preponder
ance and the knowledge of our own in
tegrity may render ite totally indifferent
to what these foreign nations think or
do not think. In solving the problem of
our colonial domains, we are accountable
to ourselves alone. "
! Mr. Waahburnj then discusses briefly
Hawaii, Cuba and Pcrto Rico and the
Philippines, and devdtes a brief chapter
to the question "Is Expansion Uncon
stitutional?" with the conclusion that
there is nothing against expansion in the
written or recorded law. In fact, the
writer takes the position that traditions
favor a wise expansion. Continuing Mr
Washburn reasons:
<t Th * , phili PPine question then resolves
itself into a discussion upon the (1) com
mercial (2) strategic and (3) moral as
pects of the case.
Will the accession of these islands in

continue to offer moral support against

United l States, however, will not believe
that the man who has counseled whole

island is either a patriot or a states
man, or qualified to erect an independent

people or the millions of property whose

tions between the different nationalities
of this great republic, be It therefore
Resolved, That the German-American
Central Bund of Minnesota requests all
papers published in' the English lan
guage, politely but firmly, to weigh
carefully as to their truth all news aim
ing to disturb the. good relations of the

ers, especially with Germany, connected
with us by close relationship, and riot
intentionally prejudice and incite the
masses of the people by misleading head
lines and editorials; it is further
Resolved, That the manners and cus
toms of the fatherland, endeared to the
German-Americans, shall not be inter
fered with as long as they do not con
flict with the existing laws of this coun

TEMPERANCE RALLY.
First of a Series Is Held at Plymouth
Church.
The first of the series of temperance
rallies inaugurated by the Christian Tem
perance federation drew a fairly large
congregation at Plymouth Congregational
church, on Summit avenue and Wabasha
street, last evening Rev. George A.
Soper, pastor of the church, presided, and
the speakers were Mrs. Bessie Laythe
Scovell, of Minneapolis, state president of
the W. C. T. U., and A. W. Gutridge,
president of the federation, and also of
the Catholic Total Abstinence society.
"They tell us that prohibition does not
prohibit," said Mrs. Scovell. "I answer
that by saying restriction does not re
strict. We are accomplishing a great
deal in the fight for temperance. Today
there are 15,000,000 school children being
taught in the public schools that alcohol
is a curse. There are millions more in
other countries, where scientific temper
ance is taught. A generation of such
teaching will bring forth great results.
The boys who are being taught that
alcohol is a poison will teach others and
be a great force in bringing about the
culmination we desire; the abolition of
the liquor traffic.
Mrs. Scovell. in her paper, compliment
ed highly the temperance work being
done in the Catholic church, and enu
merated a number of Instances which.she
said, demonstrated that there is a strong
and growing sentiment in the direction
of prohibition.
Mr. Gutridge spoke in refutation of
the charge that prohibitionists are ex
tremists, and declared that all great re
forms had been brought about by those
who differed from the masses. Incidental
ly he referred to the work being done by
the Christian federation, of which he is
president, and which represents all of
the prohibition and temperance societies
in the city.

DEDICATED A. BABY.
Interesting Ceremony Performed at
the Salvation Army Barracks.
A rather unique ceremony was per
formed last night at the Salvation Army
barracks, at 266 East Seventh street, that
of the dedication of a baby. The baby In
this instance was the three months old
Infant of Mr. and Mrs. John Gorman.
Mrs. Gorman is a sergeant-major in the
army and one of <he leading officers of
the corps In St. Paul.
The ceremony, which is only performed
in the case of children of the Salvation
Army people, is in the nature of a bap
tism, and consists of a series of ques
tions on the part of the officer conduct
ing the ceremony and responses on the
part of the parents, in which the latter
promise to use every effort to bring up
the child in the proper way and devote
Its life to the service of God.
The child received the name of Grace
Margaret, and the service was conducted
by Brig. William Halpln, of Minneapo
lis, who is chief officer of the Army 4n
this district, and is second in command
only to Booth Tucker.
MORE COLD COMIXG.
A Drop of Twenty Degrees Is Pre
dicted for Today.
- Unless Weather Observer Lyons has
made a miscalculation the temperature
today will be 20 degrees lower than yes
terday, and the Northwest will be vis
ited with a cold wave of considerable b«
verity.
The temperature was way below zero
at all Canadian stations last night ex
cept at Medicine Hat, a state of affairs
that indicated very cold weather for the
vicinity of St. Paul today.
Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup Is a true
friend to all suffering with coughs or colds.
This reliable remedy never disappoints. It
cures a cold in one day and costs but 25 cents.
Now that the
Cable Piano Co.
are open and doing- business,
people can leel perfectly satis
fied that the prices and terms
will be exactly right. The
Conover Music Co. going out
of business place The Cabi,b
Piano Co. in the best position
possible. They make thtlr
own pianos and organs, and
sell them on ONE PROFIT.
That should be recommenda
tion enough.
