You maintain that the early church Chrlsllans were not persecuted. How cm we believe what you xay In regird to that time, when even now you aro persecuting ti with nil tho vigor you can, under the plea that I'rotostanlNm i nothing but tho work of the devil? You charge u with doing everything of the vilext character In our public ncIiooIx. K uian, look on. Tnero 1 not u word of truth In what you xay ttlx.ut our public school xyxtum. llow ix It with regard to your parochittl xchooN? Across the way from where I live U a parochial xchool, and on tlm other block from there I a public xch ad. II w will tlm two compare? In that public school toucher arc ii. xtructing tho scholar under their charge In nil that pertain to their wel lare, maklngthem true,loyal, American citizens no that they may grow up with tho welfare of their country nt heart, and with a mind full of moral and Intellectual knowledge, and tho lovo of Ood In their hearts that will 'ftiike them honest men and women upon whom our country can depend In every time of need. How about '.hat parochial school? Aro you teaching them to bo loyal American cltlzonx? You ny ye. You have itl) that all the tunc, but fact do not prove your statements to be true. All thlx time that you have been loading honest I'rotextant to think that you were loyal to our country, you have vooretlf beea Instilling Into the mlndx of those children principle that have for their foundation the undermining and lirmlly the complete overthrow and Bnlhilatioii of our government. What kind of teaching I that, do you think, that lead children to understand that tho Mississippi river U tho river of Im maculate conception? Yol that It In your text-book and taught to your children. There I nothing but anarchy In your whole teaching. You talk about religious liberty, and yet not one member of your church knows what religious liberty mean, simply because like Pharaoh of old, you have hardened your heart and refused to listen to ap peal for mercy from thone you have persecuted. Let mo give you a sample of what you call religion liberty. 1 take It that religious liberty moans that a person may, nt his own discretion, woMilp where ho please. J ou evl dently think dim-rent, as I shall jrovo In tlm city of Chicago, In a certain mix oioiiiiry school, 1 had a clas of boys, among whom were two children of (M hollo parent. I Invited them to Aro you an Aniei ieaiiF do your Job work. Then li t us iomo to Sunday schocl and tho paront consented to let them come. 1 or sev miiI months tliev can.o regularly. Hut ' a " - one day rum of them was not there and upon Inquiry I found that tlm prlost hud orduicd him taken out and ooii firmed In tlm ('Alholm c hurch. I up. po no tin tlm other mm t bon Mken out mid served tlm saute wxy. 1 hxt'x what you call religion libetl. The pariml were willing, and want ed their children taught in a IVotc.tant Sunday school, but tlm priest mid no and, like the Egyptian cf old, limy had to obey him. In another das the priest removed six about tlm same Hum Im took mine. Jtil here, while speaking of this Incident In my own experience, 1 am reminded of the ei- perienco of another young lady, a teachc" in that same school. Upon hearing what tho priest had been doing in our midst, she told me that slm her self, win a victim to their ?n.sealily. Shu had a handsome property at one time In her !ife, but It is all gone now, and where? Her brother married Citholio women, joined tho Catholic church, and then by treachcou means secured her money and every cent of it has gone into tho C itholio church, and slm ix to-day, although not strong, de pendent upon daily wage for her sup port, and would actually have suflercd at one time, a year ago last winter, through sicklies and want, had it not been for tho kindness of a Christian gentleman one of your hated Protest ants giving her employment in his ollluo just to help her along. You very religiously pursue the policy laid down by your ancestor, and stick your hands Into other people's pockets and take money from them which your priest use, among other things, to purchase complete forgiveness for your vile xins $12 00 I tlm sum for com plete absolution while you attempt to proxide over the spiritual welfare of those under you. We are not working against the laity Ood pity them but It I against you, rascally priests, that we arc directing our lance, and It Is cutting you to the core. That is the reason you are so uneasy. Jut a little way from my homo Is a convent. Why I It that no person Is ever seen going in or coming out of that place? Why are tho blinds always closed? There 1 not a priest In this town but who knows but that build ing I pernio ited from cellar to garret with vileness so thick that if exposed to view there I not an honest man or woman In this town that would not rise up in arms and tear It to the very foundation. You do not want the In famous practice going on behind those blind known to tho public. Seorecy has been, and I still a prominent feat ure In your character. Honesty In tho early church persecutions was a mis nomer in your dealing, and to-day It I an unknown quantity In your deal ing with Protestant. During tlm early pcrseojtlon of the Protestant an honest, Christian man was arrested, brought Into court, and tlm charge of murder placed against him, which wa utterly without founda tion. You produced a hand In court supposed to have been cut from tho body of hit victim, who hud, In tho meantime, been paid by you to keep In hiding, but who, becoming remorseful appeared upon the 'ccuo In court, and thus utterly destroyed nil evidence against tlm defendant. 0 minion lo. coney would have dem iruled that you let the man nlono after that, but you (CoiitlniKid on llflli puu.)
