A SERMON ON
THE JESUITS
SB, M'LEOD SPEAKS OF THE SO
CIETY OP JESUS. '
He Praised Loyola's Followers for
Their Zeal, Their Dovotlon, Their
Self-Denial and Their Pursuit of a
Definite Purpose, but He Criticized
the Means They Adopted to Se
cure Their Desired End An Inter
eating Account of the Beginnings'
of the Order.
llev. Dr. James McLeoil, pnstor of the
First Presbjtorlnn chinch, delivered a
sermon-lecture on the Jesuits before a
large congregation last night. The
doctor pialaeil this powerful order for
many things, but he sharply criticized
it for others. He spoke as follows:
The totlfiious order of which I am to speak this
cirnlng, 'vas orginlzctl In the Sixteenth centur).
We are net in the least degree responsible for
cither the character or the conduct of tho who
llcd tuiturioi ago. We may foim and esprefs
our judgment of the men and .women who then
lleil and v hose principles and prmllcc are his
toric', without Involving the pmoiil gineiiitlon.
We miKt Judge the great rcfoimtr and their
great nii(iBtilts by the age In which tiiry Hied,
nnd not by the ago in which we live. Tint was
an ago tf religious controvert, of religion In
tolerance nnd of religious persctutltn. This It an
Irenle ugu in the sphere of rclUIon. Christian
t nidation Is the rule, and Intolciauce the ex
ception. In all Christian lands, the rack and tie
screw, nnd the unspeakable horrors nf the Inquisi
tion, are things ot tho past. We think of them
with pain, nnd wo speak of them with sonovv.
?o ilmrcli in Clirlslendom would now dare to
rexort to cueh measures, In order to entorcc upon
others Its icllgious opinions. No church could
do It, even it it would; and, let lis hope that no
church would do It, even If It could.
The most stalwart champion of the great Ho
formation of the Sixteenth, century was Martin
Luther, and its most stalwart opponent was Ig
r.,iliui Lcjols. Luther was eight jears old when
the foundci and prince of the Jesuits was born.
The J cars 14f3 nnd 1191 are memorable in the
.innab- of the Christian church, because there
wire bom two boys who became the two greatest
icIUIcih factors of the Sixteenth century. Lu
t'icr, tho Ceunan, was the most uncompromising
and inost Bucccsful foe that tin" (iiurch of
Ilri'e ever crcountered; and Lojol.i, the Span
ind, was its rrost forceful and successul chim
plon. Lojola wis bun under the shadow of tho Py
renees. Ho became .1 valient soldier and was
severely wounded at the wigo of Pampcluna. He
was brought to Lo.vola castle, where be was liorn,
mid while recovering from bis wounds, he read
tho "tlvcs of the Saints." His reading and medi
tation clianged his life. Ills mind underwent a
complete itvolutlon. Instead of joining his regi
ment, he resolved to bo a soldier of .the cross.
That was in tho jcar l.'Jl; and it was in thit
same jour that Luther was summoned before the
Diet of Worms, where he defended himself and
God's truth tn a right royal fashion.
Tiin oitDEirs hkginnnino.
It wis nearly twenty years after tint time be
fore Lo.vc'n succeeded in winning the apptov.il
an ! obtaining the sanction of the- pope for the
oiginhation of his new society. "The Order of
fie Sociity of Jesus" was approved and b'p.s-d
by Pope Paul IK in the jeai 1310; and Ignatlis
I.oyoli was it'. flrt geneial.
It is clculitlul if, in the history of the church,
any other tcclcty has been more devoted to the
c.iuo it espoused, or, for a time, more suc-co-tul
In Us etfmts to leach the object at wlileli
it aimed. The Jesuits took upon themselves vows
in which the.v, in the mcvt s-olcmn way, pledged
and cipiuttd themselves to purity, and poverty,
and real, and obedience, and to the- hardest kind
of hird work hiving mainly in view the over
throw of He-formation doctrines, the defeat of
heretics, ami the tucccs and spread of the doc
tiine of the Chinch of Home; and the pages of
history Ixar ample testimony to lotli their fidel
ity and their miccos. When their society won
organised, it bad only ten membeis, hut In a few
veils hudreds had joined it, and in a few yens
more, it iiunilcred wver.il thousands.
The priucii les adopted and the deeds done by
tho Jesuits lay thorn open to serious and severe
criticism. They regarded tho disease tint at
tlictcd thcix church as desperate, and they did not
hesitate to Uoe despeiatc lemcdie- They felt that
the Church of ltoirte was In danger, and they
came to its rescue. The time was opportune.
Already, some who professed to embrace Informa
tion doctrine hid departed far from it. The
Aii.dnpKst:, ot that day were a motley multitude,
vvhoe unreason and fanaticism did much injury.
Iliey suhstitiited frenzy for faith, and thus the
Itcfoimation was severely wounded in the house
of its profcsMcd friends. Tho Jesuit saw in the
cliuH nsiom of the Protestants a favorable oppor
tunity fur. their sccinn work, and they eagerly
cmbiaceJ it. They knew how to utilize the argu
ment that it is better to "bear the ills we have,
than fly to others that 'we know not of," The
tide of the Deformation, which threatened to
sweep ovci the whole of Kurope, was stopped;
nnd the stemming of that tide is. due, in largest
incisure, tc the unceasing vigilance, the untiring
energy and the consummate skill and ability of
the Jesuits.
AN HISTORIAN'S OPINIO!?.
Let a Protestant historian tell tho story. He
sijs: "When the JeMilts came to the rescue of
the papacy, they found It in extreme peril; but,
from tint moment, the tide of battle turned.
Prctestantm, which had, during a whole gener
ation, carried all before it, was stopped in its
progiess, and rapidly beaten back from the foot
ot the Alps to the shores of the Baltic, llcfore
the order hud existed a hundred years, It had
filled the whole world with memorials of gocd
tilings done and suffered for the faith.
No icllgious community could produce a list of
men so variously distinguished. There
was no region of the globe, no walk of specula
tive or of active life, in which Jesuits were not to
be found. Tliey guided the crusaded of king'.
They deciphered Latin inscriptions. They ob
ecned the motions of Jupiter's satellites,
They appeal lu hive discovered the precise
point tn which intellectual culture can be carried
without ltek of Intellectual eminclpptlon. Kn
mlty ilfell was compelled to own that, In the art
of manaclncr and forming the tender mind, they
bad no equal).
Lojola and his fellows regarded their field as
the world. Ihcy weie men of boundlesi ambi
tion, and their mutual nnd spitlliial resources
were enormous. To bring tlio whole world rf
humanity into subjection to them; to comjiel nil
tho fons nnd ihughters of , men to bow- down he
fore their spiritual sovereign, the pope of Home;
this was their ambition, and this tho tak they
undertook to accomplish,
r.NTiiusiAsno mis-sionaihks.
The Jctultx were cntiiuslistlo missionaries. If
tin lioinaii Catholics church lost millions of her
ndlr.icnts on, account of the Deformation, the
Jesuits were determined to win back theso mil.
lions, and along with them, other millions In
dentin ii lands, Hence, they sent their mission
m lei to India and China, and Japan and Africa,
and they planted their banneis in many placet in
this western hemisphere. In tlu.lv cil, they went
to the oiliest parts of the olJ vvoild, and they
lifted up the cnicliW under t lie shadow of the
lOfiiinleli; and, with equal real, they settled In
Canada and taught the Indhuij along the St,
Lawrence, They tiaveled west to the Mississippi,
and soiitli to Louisiana, and, still further south,
to Mexico and llr.ull and Paraguay. Tliey still id

Hut the Jesuits had their crltlu, and their
critics were by no means confined to members of
the llcfotmed churches. They weie frequently
and thai ply criticised by no less a peroti than
the pope of Home. They had pretty plain nnd
smooth sailing for n while, but the time came
when their tei was "rough, uiul1 the winds con
trary. In the Inhrc't rl tlcli parly, and of their

principles of his Order. He was unscrupulous

NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD
IS AN ASSURED SUCCESS
Committee in Charge Issue an Open
Letter to Music-Loving People
of This City and Vicinity. '
The following open-letter, addressed
to the lovers of music 'and musical cul
ture in this city, has been issued by
the executive committee of the national
eisteddfod, to be held next month:
To the loveis of music and musical culture In the
city of Sertnton:
The commitce having in charge the National
eIsteddfeJ, to be held in the Armory next Decora
tie n Pay, take tills means of congratulating them
s"h(s an) the public on the assured success of
tho festival. The competitors alone will number
from lltten hundred to two thousand, and many
thousands will come to bear thorn. While the
e!steelilfoel in itself and In Its results will Justify
the arduous labors of the committee, and the ex
penditure' of a large sum of money, tho commit
tee arc unwilling that theli efforts shill end with
tho l.oldiigof this musical festival. We are anx
ious that tne eisteddfod shall he tho initiatory oc
casion for the inauguration of a movement of a
more substantial and jicrmancnt character.
I. It maj be safely said that Scranton Is a
musical center. There is no community of the
sime sle in the United States which has more
and richer material for the formation tif clior.il
ouinialioM than the city of Scranton. Much of
this material has been trained from time to lime,
as willies the fine choirs we have had. Wc have
also a large number of individual singers, who
sing in our varioui churches as soloists, aril
many who art' prize vvinneis in musical compjtl
tions. Nevertheless, the permanent results are en
tirely incommensurate with the cxti'nt of the ma-te-riiil
v.ithin reach and of tho opportunities we
hive for high development along the line of choral
singing. Wc know of no reason why there cou'd
rot be in our city k chor.il organization, flic hun
ched stituit.', an organization equal to the best in
the ('lifted States. This would enable us to wive
the- lrohlem of rendering the great oratorios and
of having a S-cranton musical festival every jcar.
Sololsli may lie hired, but choruses mu-t grow.
To do effective work III Ibis direction, there must
be .1 permanent orgiuizalion in constant training.
The committee having the present ciste-ddfod in
charge piopotc to fonn a musical association for
thv purpose, among other things, of forming such
jt ehoril oiganizatlon as wc have- described.
'J. Another object the committee have in view
in establishing a permanent musical organization
is to watch for and foster exceptional nnd
phenomenal voices. Nearly nil the great voices
now on the concert stage and in opera have been
d:eovcled in the beginning by sonic individual,
or musical association, and the possessors of the
voltes have been taken in hand and educated. The
great smgcis, with few exceptions, come from
tho lanks of what Is known as the common peo
ple. Notable instances, among many, are Nor
dlea, Schunicnn-llcink and Ben Davies. Hut these
voices must be found, fostered and trained nnd
the owners of the voices educated. Wo have no
doubt that there are voices no".- In Scranton
which, if taken in their youth and given a
thorough American nnd European training, would
be famous ii. the world of opera and oratorio.
Therefore, tho committee of the cWcddfod desiic
to nnnoiuico that they have In view, in .forming
it musical association, the purpose of looking out
for such cMeptionnl voices.
3. In addition to the objects slated, the com
mittee intend to hold the elsteddlod nt stated
period?, MJ-, every two or three years. We desire
to realvo it .1 Scranton institution and a means to
aehance musical culture in the city. Wc want to
Americanize tills noble institution and, to this
end, we invito all people, regardless of race or
class, to part'clpate in the competitions as well
.is to bo piesent to enjoy the festival.
Having these objects in view, the committee, nt
a general r.ucling held April 12, HKB, unanimous
Iv adopted the following resolution!
"HcsolVfd, That we form nn association by the
name of The Scranton Musical Association, for
the promotion of music, and to carry out the
purposes n entloned In the circular of the commit
tee dated Aj-Tll 12, 1002."
We ask sciioua consideration by all good cltl
sens of the project ond the'r earnest co-operation
to secure it suexjets.

Have you ever noticed the difference In the finish qf Cut Glass?
Some Cut Glass, after It has been Used a few times, becomes dull and
luslerless It has merely had an acid bath. Compare It with a piece of
LIBBEY'S that has had years of service. It Is hand-polished and re
tains all Its luster and brilliancy. It sparkles like diamonds among peb
bles. When making a gift Is not there a satisfaction In knowing your
present has no superior? You do not pay any more for LIBBEY'S hero
than you do for other makes elsewhere.

That's what every new wall paper in our store is.
The mechanical, calico aspect has been entirely
eliminated.
Skilled artists, better processes of manufacture
and belter machinery have made wonderful changes
in wall papers during the past two years.
Those who have visited our Wall Decorating
Department have been surprised at the high quality
of our goods and the extremely moderate prices.
We are able to offer the best, at prices as low,
and often lower, than you have previously paid for
inferior wall coverings. This is because we buy iu
large quantities ami are willing to give you what we
save by so doing.
For the same reason moderate price's govern
