EXCEPTIONS TO
THE CHARTER
ARGUED YESTERDAY BEFORE
THE THREE JUDGES.
It Is Contended That the Title St.
StanlslnUB Polish National Church
Is Calculated to Deceive People and
Make Them Believe It Is n Roman
Catholic Church This Is Denied by
tho Applicants for the Charter.
Reasons They Give for Selecting It.
AiRUiniiiit.s were heard yesterday by
tin; three judges on exceptions to tho
Incorporation of Ht. Stanislaus J'ollsh
National church of Scranton. Attor
ney W. J. Uunil nppenred for the char
ter, nnd .Attorney V. 1'. Hoban nsulnst
It.
Tho latter contended that It was nu
effort to establish a Catholic church
tint would he freo from nil chuioh au
thority, oiul to locelp people It lmd
been given ihu 11111110- of Ht. Stanislaus,
(i saint ciiiioiilsied by the Catholic
church. To further deceive, to this had
been added the words Polish National,
by both of which 'terms It might be
Implied that It was n ltomau Catholic
church, slueo the Poles In this country
usually call their Catholic church the
Polish church.
As tho ''uthollc religion Is the re
ligion of the great majority of the peo
ple of Poland, the word national as
applied to this Independent church Is
nlso misleading. In concluding his ar
gument, Mr. Hoban said: "The found
ers of this now church have stolen our
saints, our doctrine, our ritual, but re
ject our authority nnd our discipline.','
Patron Saint of Poland.
Attorney Hand denied that the annu
ls any way misleading. He said that
St. Stanislaus is the patron saint of
Poland and was regarded as a snlnt by
the people of Unit country 200 years
before lie wan canonized. Even by the
Jews of Poland he Is regarded as .1
saint, and his fame in that regard is
far wider than any church. He was
put to death by a Polish king whom he
had upbraided for his laxity of morals,
and is regarded by the Poles as 11 great,
good God-fearing man, who had the
courage to challenge Iniquity In high
places.
As to the words Polish and national,
the linking of them repiesented 11 re
newal of 11 movement started in Poland
In the sixteenth century to organize a
Polish national church that would use
the language of Poland In its cere
monies, lie denied that the words
Polish or national, individually or col
lectively, would convey the Idea that
it was a Koinan Catholic church.
As to the doctrine of the new church,
Jlr. Hand said that any person has the
right to take the doctrine of any church
and by either additions or omission, or
both, make this the basis of a new
church. The fundamentals or all Chris
tian churches are largely the same. It
is in discipline they differ. Father
Iloudar and his associates object to
the discipline of the rioinan Catholic'
church.
Question at Issue.
Ilui ing the arguments the judges
several times intimated that the only
question at Issue was whether or not
the name "St. Stanislaus Polish Na
tional church" was calculated to de
ceive any person as to the nature of
the church.
Father lloudnr Is the pastor of the
church that is applying for a charter
and the head of the Polish National
church, which now has branches In
Prlceburg, Duryea, Nanticoke and Ply
mouth, and hns seven priests besides
Father Iloudar.

IS THE ONLY
TRUE CHURCH
SO SAID FATHER VALENTINE OF
CATHOLIC CHURCH.
In a Lecture Addressed to Non-Catholics
Last Night, Ho Asserted That
It Is tho Only 'Church Which Can
Lay a Reasonnblo Claim to Be tho
Successor of That Church Which
Christ Founded The Reformation
Was Needed, He Declared Tho
Church Was Filled.
Rev. Father Valentino, C. P.. who Is
conducting n. mission to non-Catholics
this week nt SI. Peter's cathedral, de
livered the third lecture of his course
last night, taking for his topic, "Lend,
Kindly Light; or, Christianity and the
Church." The congregation, very large
ly made up of non-Catholics, almost
completely lllled the church.
Father Valentine devoted about an
hour prior to the lecture to the answer
ing of questions dropped In the ques
tion box nt the door. Some of these
dealt with the basic doctrines of nil
Christianity, but tho majority were In
reference to the particular doctrines of
the Catholic chinch.
The main thought running through
tho lecture was that tho Christian ic
llglon Is tho only true religion, nnd
that the Roman Catholic church Is tho
only church In which the real truths of
that religion are to be found, It was
based on the familiar text beginning,
"Thou art Peter, and upon this rock
will I build my church and tho gates
of hell shall not prevail against It."
The speaker asserted that only one
