SATAN'S MASTERPIECE.
Such Has the History of Ro
manism Proved It to be.

"The Masterpiece of Satan."
The distinguished Cecil la reported
to have said that "Romanism la the
masterpiece of satan." Whether he
Bald so or not, Rome herself has proved
it true by her career. The papacy Is
the great enemy of the human race,
the bitter and persistent foe of liberty,
civil and religious. The world can
have no greater or more dangerous
enemy than this anti christian, im
moral, idolatrous institution the pa
tron of licentiousness, blood thirst iness,
Injustice, oppression and tyranny. Pop
ery is what alls Ireland. Mexico, Spain,
Portugal, and other papal countries.
Remove popish meddling and oppres
sive taxation to support a voluptuous
priesthood, and give those nations a
free Bible and Christianity as God has
revealed It, and they would be prosper
ous, peaceable and happy. Rome has
outrun Babylon of old and all pagan
nations in the career of crime, barbari
ties and abominations, so that Inspira
tion has written upon her forehead,
"Babylon the great, the mother of har
lots and abominations of the earth."
Rev. xvil. 5. In the language of the
Book of Revelation, this modern Baby
lon has "become the habitation of
devils, and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of every unclean and hate
ful bird. For all nations have drunk
of the wine of the wrath of fornication,
and the kings of the earth have com
mitted fornication with her, Bed the
merchants of the earth are waxed rich
through the abundance of her delica
cies." Rev. xvlil. 2, 3.
How do the kings of the earth com
mit fornication with the "mother of
harlots"? By making her Idolatrous
worship the religion of the land, sup
porting her with the fur ds of the state,
by endowing her institutions and grant
ing Bpecial favors and according par
ticular privileges in return for her
votes and her political influence. Un
der tM.head may be rttked Cleve
land's letter to Pope Leo XIII. It was
an Insult to the American people, be
cause It was an attempt to s duce this
nation to commit fornication with
Rome, the great enerxy of our free In
stitutions. Besides, the letter was a
tissue of hypocrisy and falsehood, con
ceived for political ends.
But, judging Rome from past his
tory, her present character, pretentious
and boasted purposes, it is evident she
considers that her chief commission is
not to preach the gospel and save souls,
but to overthrow rrotestantit-m, suppress
religious liberty, ard subjugate the
world to her tyrannical dominion. This
is expressed by her leaders and is under
stood in the lowest ranks or her vbb-
sals. The unlettered ignoramus who
cannot write or read his own name
eloquent on the conquest of the Protes-
tant world. C He has learned It from
"holy mother," from priest and bishop.
This bloodthirsty spirit runs through
rank and file.
The same sentiment was boldly ut
teredtby Cardinal Manning, of Eng
land, a while before he died, when ad
dressing the third provincial council
of the archdiocese of Westminster. He
said: "It is jours, right reverend fa-
thers, to subjugate and subdue, to bend
and break, the will of an imperial race
the will which, as of Rrme of old,
rules over nations and peoples invlnct-
ble and inflexible. You have a great
commission to fulfill, ard great is the
prize for which jou strive. Surely, a
soldier's eye ard a soldier's heart
would choose by intuition this field of
England for the warfare cf the faith
No ampler or nobler could be found
It is the lead of Protestantism, the
center of its movenn nts, and the strong'
hold of its power. Weakened In Eng
land, It is paral j zed everj where. Con-
quered in England, it Is conquered
throughout C the world. Overthrown
here, all is buta war ct detail. All
the roads of the whole world meet in
one point. England is the key of the
whole position of modern error." This
is the voice of the papacy. It is not
the conquest of England alone that is
desired, bufjthe conquest of America
and the overthrowof cur government,
religion and; liberty. "You have a
great mission to fulfill," says Cardinal
Manning and what is it? Nothing
less than the corruption and overthrow
of the christianfrellgion the suppres
sion of all public testimony to the truth,
the "witnesses" slain, lying dead in
our streets, Protestant churches closed,
and "no man -might buy or sell, save
he that bad the mark, or the name of
the beast, or the number of his name
Rev. xill. 17. To SJiue extent, this is
already true io the large cities. If
Rome triumphs, we know what to ex
peel, we oppose iiomo not out 01 a
sectarian spirit, but because popery in
its nature, elements, claims and de-
mands Is destructive of all liberty and
rights of conscience. A free Bible, free
schools, free discussion, free thought,
free pulpit, free press, and popery can
not exist together in the same Inclos-
ure; hence Rome must conquer Protes
tantism or eventually and inevitably
pensn nerseir. lie nee nor war on
American Institutions. But true relig-
(on and freedom are always in har
mony. A religion that Is hostile to
liberty is not Christianity. Christian
ity, as God gave it, secures to man all
his rights, civil and religious. "If the
Son therefore shall make you free, ye
shall be free Indeed." Our liberties In
free America were born of Christianity,
they were not Imported from Rome nor
discovered by Columbus they are the
offspring of true religion. Tomaln
tain our freedom and prosperity, we
must maintain a pure religion. A false
religion corrupts and destroys.
Americans, see that the right men
are put on guard, for there Is a wily
foe at your door. He may pretend to
be a lamb, but his speech is that of the
dragon. Stand by the truth that will
make us free. The Bible is a terror to
Rome, because it condemns her idola
trous worship and her hypocrisy, The
Bible should decide all questions in re
liflon and morals. We do not want to
take either our religion or our politics
from Home we can get loth nearer
home. Calvin.

There are some who think the Roman
Catholic church is a christian church,
and has as much to commend itself to
the attention of the people as any
church. As a Baptist minister said,
"There are inconsistencies in the Bap
tist church as well as there are in the
Roman Catholic church." As I have
often said, I say now: "The Roman
Catholic church is a semi-pagan church
some call it a pagan church." If a
person reads the following article from
the Iltrald and Presbyter, of May 15th,
I cannot conceive how he can look upon
this organization as one which Is an
exponent of the teachings of Christ:
'A private letter by one whMra"eled
with his wits about him and his eyes
open, tells of a visit to the wonderful,
miracle-working Bambino, one of the
greatest treasures of Rome. He says:
We went, this morning, first to the
church of Arl CeK where Is the tomb
of St. Helena, the mother of Conttaoce,
the discoverer of the wonderful relics
which have bo astonished us at various
points. It is just beside the capltol.
and is on what Is held to have been the
site of the temple of Juno Monela. The
freat feature of this church, however,
is that it contains the celebrated Bam
bino, the wonderful baby which has
performed so many miracles. It Is sup
posed to be kept in a certain chapel,
and as a consequence the front of the
char el is adorned with votive offerings
made by those who have been benefited
by the Interposition of the Bambino,
Here are pictures representing the
wonderful escapes from Injury or death
of a great number of persons, such as
being run over by carriages and horses,
falls down precipices, blows on the
head, shipwrecks, sickness, and espe
cially the dangers of child-bed. There
is no other such baby in the world. Of
course, we wanted to see it, and on ask'
ing the monks for It we were taken to
another chapel In another part of the
church, and there, after the manipula
tion of a vast amount of machinery, the
monk brought out the box (a little trunk
like affair, painted white and adorned
with gilding and jewels) which he un
locked, and then removing several little
blanket-like clothes he at last uncov'
ered the wonderful baby. It Is a small
sized baby, and would (if It were fl sh
just born) weigh about six pounds. The
face Is wax (the whole is said to be
wood miraculously painted) and the

reopie in America cannot form a con-
ceptlon of Catholicism as it exists here,
in tnis land, and especially in this city,
it stands lorth in its true character. I
am again and again struck with the
simplicity 01 tnese priests and monks,
uu .aiu. IU we can
have any object in coming here to view
these pictures and statutes but that of
devotion. The monk who showed us
the Bambino this morning seemed to
believe it from the depths of his soul,
and to think that of course we did the
same. Still, I noticed that while be
would not have gone In front 01 a
picture of the Virgin wlthoi t dropping
upon at least one knee, he walked up
and handled this wonderful baby with
simply a removal of his little skull cap.
I expected to see him kneel before it,
but he didn't do so. Had he known
why I wished to see it, I am quite sure
he would not have shown it to me, and
I am surprised that they should show
It to any heretic, unless they hope that
thus he may become converted.' "
And this is the church which wants
us to accept of her teaching In our
public schools, and then calls the Bible
in the public schools a sectarian book
which is exactly what any form of
Idolatry would. Sam'l J. Canyon,
Hot. Mr. Mann Answered
Omaha, June 1. Editor American:
On returning from church last Sab'
bath I was handed a pamphlet or tract
entitled "The Need of Intellectual Life
In the Church," by Newton M. Mann,
In which he asserts that christian peo
pie in the churches depend entirely on
the ministers to do their thinking;
that we have abundant facilities for
dispensing religious Instruction large
auditoriums, an army of ministers,
many religious circles and societies,
quantities of literature, theological
seminaries and lectureships Innumer
able of which wo make little use; for
the mind Is only dreaming; that the
church is not the light of the world;
and, further, that the lack of independ
ent thinking in the pews reacts on the
pulpit, and the preacher has little re'
spect for his hearers, and only speaks
to them as Interiors. But let me say
that a chr&tiw minister speaks to his
audience as brother to brother, man to
man, and, if he does appeal to the
heart, are we not taught by Holy Writ
that "the heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked"?
Therefore, It should be appealed to
first, for Christ says: "Seek ye first
the kingdom of God, and his righteous
ness; and all these tilings shall be added
unto you." There are very few true
christians who do not wish and strive
to enrich the mind with all things ele
vating and ennobling,
Mr. -Mann says the preacher most ac
ceptable to the christian world writes
a thousand sermons and stands at the
same desk for fifty years without ad
vancing one step, because the re ple
want it so. Very true. Most of them
do want It so, for tfey rtalize their
need of the old, old story "Christ and
him crucified." And the minister who
can fully Impress that upon the hearts
0f hU hearers most surely paves the
way w greater Intellectuality and
purer aims In life. In line, the oreacher
wno can stand nity years in the same
pulpit is certainly appreciated for the
great good he is doing to those to whom
he ministeis.
Mr. Mann says he "will not attempt
to say just what a man would have left
If ho save his soul and lose his mind
it is wen no does not. t or if a man
has tried to save his soul and after
ward loses his mind, so that he has to
be confined for years In an asylum, bs
has been many an educated man, does
anyone suppose that when that man's
soul Is called hence it will go clouded
before its Maker? Never. The soul is
not clouded, if the mind is. The sav
ing of the soul is one thing we can be
sure of, if we try. How many brilliant
minds have been clouded by the con
tents of the wine cup, and have only
been rescued through the operation of
Jesus Christ's gospel, which appeals di
rectly to the heart. It is not the brill
iant lecturer whose words regenerate
the heart and life.
Do not be afraid of being a confined
lunatic in paradise, for one who seeks
only to improve his mind will never
reach paradise.

Ntorv of a Swedish (train Merchant.
Several days ago we copied an Item
from a local paper and published It
under the heading, "We Like This,
Because It's American." It related
that Alex. J. Johnson, editor of the
Suxdish Kurirt, would opjwse the for
mation of a Swedish Republican State
League, on the ground that the Swedes
were truly American, and thut any at
tempt to foster racial customs on Amer
ican soil was un-American. In answer
to thut little item we have received the
following letter:
Fort Omaha, Neb., June 5.
Editor The American: Dear Sir-
In your paper for the 24th of May ap
pear a few lines under the heiding:
"We Like This, Because It's Aroer
lean." next comes the name of one
Alex. J. Johnson, editor of the Smdinh
Kurirc, and how he (the editor) 1
going to fight against the Swedish Re
publican State Lrague. Now, Friend
Thompson, I do not mean to deny to
you the right to bold an opinion in this
behalf, but I think that if you will
write to the editor of the Simdinh
American for particulars concerning
the'.'editor of Kurire and the league
also, you will receive Information which
will convince you that the league is
more American in its principles than is
Alex. J. Johuson, in view of the fact
that he is one of the sympathizers of
the well-known O'Malley gang and the
Market street gang, In the city of Chi
cago, and a faithful lobbyist for their
rotten home-rule politics. The Su-ediih
American recommends the organization
of the league mentioned, as it proposes
to do its best to purge the country of
g ing rule and the influence of the Irish
Reman Catholics, and to preserve the
ballot. The Suedish American Is
strong sympathizer of the A. P. A and
speaks in its favor every week.
In the Suedinh American of May 28th,
second column of page 4, appears an
article headed thus:
LOST.
"Some years ago a grain merchant
disappeared from the city of Oscars-
hamn, Sweden. With this grain mer
chant the value of many thousands of
barrels of grain disappeared. Since
that time this man has never been seen

merchant, but did not get paid for it.
where the said grain merchant went to

have agreed to each give a peck of
grain. Notice! The Information should
be sent to the police force of Oscars

Makes Sharp Attack on Foreigners.
Milwaukee, Wis., May 30. Col.
Smiley, in his address at the memorial
celebration in the Academy of Music
to night, attacked foreigners and Cath
olics. He said over half of the foreign
ers had no business in this countrv.
He attacked the Germans directly, say
ing there were two elements among
them one the saloon and beer-soaked
element, which ought not to be given
in Hvht a mi Tfc rtv.n.
he said, for the most part ought to be
excluded from this country, as they
thought more of the pojm than they
did of American Institutions. The re

the ball.
Hauled It Ikiwn.
Council Bi.ukfs, Iowa, June o
Editor American: While canvassing
for your paper in the northern part of
Iowa, last week, I visited the little
town of Harcoiirt, in Webster county,
where I beheld a sight that stirred
every drop of patriotic blood coursing
through my veins.
Ilarcourt has a wealthy and re
spectcd citizen who has practically run
tho town, as I understand it, for a num
nor 01 years, lie la a hardware mer
chant, and a Norwegian by birth. It
has been his custom to run up above
his plaoe of business, on the slightest
provocation, tho flag of Norway. Tues
day of last week I was In that town,
and the Norwegian flag was floating
where tho Stars and Strips should
have been displayed. 1 asked one of
the citizens what It meant, and was
told that it was his custom to float that
flag in celebrating any event which
pleased his fancy. I told them tho
Stars and Stripes should wave above
that flag, or it ought to be torn down.
Several of the citizens wero of the
smiio opinion, and after I had left the
town they waited on him and asked
him to haul it down. After some par-
eying, he acceded to their request.
Next day I was in the city, and stepped
nto the Norwegian's store. Ho abused
me, and I told him that, had I not been
a fctranger In the placo, he would have
taken that flag down, or run the Stars
and Stripes up over it, or I would have
Bhotitdown. I left town a few hours
a'er, but returned the following day.
On my return the hardware morcbant,
N. II. Hilton by name, became quite
excited, and, I am Informed, began
searching for a piece of rope with
which to hang me. Now, Mr. Editor,
isn't that a nice way for an adopted
citizen to act? I. Linimjuist.

The supreme council of the American
Protective Association, which bus just
closed Its annual session at Milwaukee,
has again aroused the Irish tiger, and
we are being treated to the usual dose
of bitterness, slander and misrepresen
tation by newspapers o! the "green
stripe " The Jlilierman says, "they are
still at It," but a few weeks ago the
same paper assured its readers that the
A. P. A. had been knocked into smith
ereen, was under ti e bun of both pollt
lc.il parties and every true American;
but all at once It bobs up as serenely as
ever, and more mighty than before. An
international constitution has been
adopted, by which the order in all
countries may bo unified and solidified
and tho work be carried on under the
guidance and jurisdiction of one grard
supreme council. This constitution will
bt sent to every country where the
order has a foothold, for their approval
and adoption. When this has been
consummated, the A. P. A. will pretent
a more formidable front to every foo of
civil and religious lib.rty than ever
before. Such an order is a crying
necessity in Peru, Mexico, Brazil and
other countries where Rome has
throttled religious liberty and refuses
to permit a Protestant minister to
preach the gospel and exercise the
functions of bis cfllee. In the United
States, where she Is In the minority
and cannot carry out her avowed policy,
she clamors for civil and religious lib
erty, and potos as the great champion
tnereoi, out wnere she is in the major
ity the tables are turned, and she
"grinds to powder'- any church, sect or
denomination that dares to differ from
her teaching. This fact Is so well
known that the Romish newspapers
never attempt to explain it, or confute
it, or give a reason for it. But the A.
f. A. and kindred organizations are
just as much needed in the Unite
States, Canada and Australia as In the
South American republics. In these
countries she lacks the power to carry
out her avowed purpose openly, hence,
Jesuit like, she is secretly plotting and
planning to remove some of the ob
stacles that stand in the way of her
aggrandizement. By Immigration and
a system of parochial schools she en
deavors to strengthen her hands here
and make herself felt In politics, until,
little by little, she will get a grip on
this country and regain the power she
has lost In Europe. The American
public schools seem to be tho great
barrier In the way, hence for many
years she has carried on a bitter war
against there, sometimes secretly, at
other times openly, just as it suited her
purpose. Then, again, though we have
an article In the constitution against
any union of church and state, the Ro
man Catholic church, under various
disguises, has drawn millions of dollars
from the state treasuries for the sup-
port of her sectarian institutions. She
had a K- illar grip on Now York until
a yrar ago, and under the name of
"Tammany" ran tho whole state as
best suited her purK)se. Through the
breve efforts of Rev. Dr. Parkhtirst
this corrupt and rotten concern has
been overthrown, and the very "pillars
of the church" began to fall, ard had
some other man than Fenian Goff
manipulated the case, the exure
would not have to-J where it did.
Now, these and other things demand
just such mi organization as the A. I'.
A., and when tho church of Rome is
willing and ready to take her place on
a level with Protestant churches, and
be satisfied with equal rights and tho
privileges afforded by the American
constitution, there will not be such great
need of an organization like the A. P.
A. When Rome adapts herself to our
school system and the great laws which
govern this country; when, In a word,
she becomes thoroughly American and
keeps up with the progrossof tho timet
tho fight will end, and not before. No
church can contend for pro-eminence
here without causing friction and bad
blood. Tho effort and agitation for the
establishment of a papal legation at
Washington and an American one at
Rome Is something which no true Amer
ican will endure. Making the church
of Rome a state and recognizing the
temporal power of the pope, which Is
ikiii est for tho last twenty -five years,
will cause religious discord In this freo
republic, and if men band together
against any such assumption, whother
as A. P. As , or P. O. S. of A., or
American Mechanics, the Romish
church is to blame for the friction, and
one of the bishops of Rome has clearly
acknowledged this. The bringing of
Satolll to this country, with the full
powers of a pone In America, has
strained matters to tho highest tension.
Let us get down to reck-bottom facts
and see who is to blame for the reli
gious discord and animosity now ramp
ant in our nation. It is all very well
to talk about "dark-lantern conspira
tors," "bigotry," "proscription," and
what not; but who Is to blame for the
unhappy state of things now prevalent
here and in Canada? We say, without
fear of contradiction, that if Rome
would lay aside ber childish claims to
pre eminence and superiority in this
country, and fall in line with things
as she finds them, and loyally stand by
our institutions, the bickering and ,
strife would cease. Until she- does -this
the A. P. A. will oppote her In
her falsa assumptions and in her effort
to supjKjrt horolf out of the state
treasury. Shall the fight go on or
ess ? Rome must answer. 1'rntentant

To Do iafwitli Lay Teachers.
Montreal, June 4. There is what
eejms to be excellent authority to state
that a bill is being framed, to be sub
mitted to the Quetec legislature at the
next session, to abolish tho Jacques
Carlier Normal School in this city and
the Laval Normal School in Quebec,
and to hand over the revenue there
from to Laval University, and to place
the entire education of the Roman
Ca .holic youth of this provlnca under
thecontrjlof the different religious
congregations. This project, It Is fur
ther stated, has received the sanction
of the highest educational authorities
of the province, and if the present out
look dees cot change It may become
law. Tula move, it seems, has for its
principal object to do away as much as
possible wlti lay teachers. This Is
said to be an answer to the efforts
made by Senator Ma-son and some of
his colleagues to have a law passed by
which no person, cither in religious or
lay life, may hold the position of
teacher without being provided with a
diploma.

The above letter Is a sample of many
received since Mr. Hinde's bill relat

It would appear that the people are not

labors of some of tLo legislators.
We find on our table the book, "Why
I Am an A. P. A., Dedicated to the
American Protective Association," by
James Sargent, of 303 Beckley Build
ing, Rochester, N. Y. Of all books it
undoubtedly is one of the best published.
The 150 pages of the work contain
much valuable information, being re

prove a Gibraltar against the denials
