Show t The Catholic Citizen of Milwaukee lectures Carnegie Car-negie oil his fallacious interpretation of the term "sectarianism," as indicated by his method of distributing dis-tributing $10,000,000 or the income thereon for the support of superannuated professors of "non-sectarian" "non-sectarian" educational institutions. The remarks of the Citizen are very just and quite apropos, but is it not. after all, unreasonable to expect a man of Mr. Carnegie's origin and life-career to rise superior to the prejudices that are really logical in a man of his antecedents and social environment ? Carnegie has, in more ways than one, manifested a remarkably broad and sympathetic nature, for which we may accord him all due admiration and respect; that he still retains, in common with 99 per cent of his class, an innate suspicion of and aversion to the true Faith only proves that he, like the others, has not duly corresponded to the grace of God which would make all men free i. e., lib-crate lib-crate them from the bonds of error which has enslaved en-slaved the minds of so large a. proportion of the human race and has rendered them incapable of recognizing, in all its integrity, that effulgence of divine truth that shall eventually prove the salvation salva-tion of the race. Happily, the grand old. Church shall continue the sublime work of her sacred ministrations min-istrations to' the race of man regardless, of Mr. Carnegie and all the wealth he and his entire class may bestow for the purpose of perpetuating the prejudices and errors that have so long and .potently .po-tently wrought in blighting the souls of their fatuous victims ' .
