We believe, as wo have so often stated, that these acts, Instigated by tho Human church prove conclusively that whoro Homo has the power she allows the exercise of no liberty of conscience, no freedom of speech, no Independence of the press, but that kvkkytiiinu Is sub servient to tho will of tho pope.

Wo live together In one country, wo work together In one shop without quarrelling, wo rldo In tho oar together without quarrelling, we vo(o together, and we thought our children could read and wiito together without quar relling. Hut tho popo says no; ho Is tho mini to educate your children. For a hundred years It wai no sin to send a child to tho public school - It was no slu for him to allow people to send their children there; now thing have changed. The Holy Ghost has changed his mind, and what was right once is wrong now, says the popo. Hut the . . . ...i i . it .1... i. i i question arises; i u mu jiujm uuni noss or tho father' to educate your children?
