EXTREME OATH OF JESUITS A FORGERY
They TVero Taught that the End Jnittlles
Unlawful Mcnni The llogus Encyclical
Denounced Certain Secret Societies
Condemned The Higher l.lfo.
Itov. Jnmcs HoolTcr , S. J. , president o (
Crclghton university , lectured last night nt
the College church before as largo an audi
ence ns could be packed Into the building. It
was the last of n series of lectures on the
analysis of religion , In which the lecturer
had traced religion from Us beginnings to
Us full development In Jesus Christ and
Christianity. Ho took for his thcmo
last night the higher llfo of the evangeli
cal counsels which Jesus Christ pro
posed to men and women whoso ambition or
more generous impulses would lead them to
nsplro to the highest human perfection.
Christ presented to the world In His own
person the pattern of the higher llfo In the
voluntary choice of poverty , contincucy and
obedience. Ho embodied Us teachings In
Ills public discourses as the readers of the
blblo know.
The lecture was In substance as follows :
"Tho Acts of the Apostles , and the epistles
of St. Paul show that the disciples In many
Instances embraced that higher llfo. It Is a
matter of history that the early Christians
In largo numbers adopted.tho higher way of
living , some of them remaining in the busy
world , others betaking themselves to the
deserts of Egypt and the Thobaid the better
to devote themselves to the pursuit of
spiritual perfection. In the course of tlmo
these hermits of the deserts were forced by
circumstances to form themselves Into com
munities aud thus vrqro formed the first
religious orders of the Church. However
much those orders differed In their purposes
and the means adopted for carryIng -
Ing them out. they all agreed
In the voluntary observance of pov
erty , chastity and obedience , binding them
selves to such observance by vows , that is to
Bay by a solemn promise to God , From that
tlmo until now It hus over been held by the
church that the essential constituents of the
tcllglous state are the three vows of poverty ,
chastity and obedience , and that a religious
order or society Is an organbod body ol
men or of women who bind themselves by
promise to God. to voluntary poverty ,
chastity and obedience.
The VOWB.
The vow of clmstlty means to promise
Almighty God to bo chaste in thought , word
and deed , and so to continue in single
blessedness. The only great objection which
some pcoplo have to this vow is that thtyi
I cannot believe that any man or woman can
keep such promise , that any man or woman
can bo chaste. i >
By the vow of obedience the religious
promises God to obey his lawfully ap
pointed religious superiors in all that is nol
Unlawful and not at variance with the laws
of his order as laid down by the church. Tin
church has alvsays taught that no humar
being may promise God to do things whicl
are manifestly unlawful , for to make such c
promise or vow is not to honor but to instill
the God of nil law and order. Consequently
no religious superior may command his sub
jects to do anything unlawful : should ho dc
so , the subjects may not aud should not obej
the command.
The vow of poverty docs noj ; mean a premIse
Iso of pauperism. The religious person wlu
takes that vow thereby surrenders all per
Bonal right to ownership or acquisition o
property. Such personal vow of tlip indi
vidunl does not , as is cvid'erU , deprive' tin
religious order or community of the right o
acquiring or owning ns a corporate body
Americans , who understand" better thai
any 'oVhur people 'what is nean
by n corporation , ought to under
stand better than anybody else how !
body of men or women could own propert ;
ns a corporation and at the sametimi
waive their rights personally to n per
sonal ownership of a share of the commoi
stock. Anybody who has read the bibli
should find no difllculty In understanding tin
ownership of religious orders. They do precisely
cisoly what the blblo tells us certain com
munitles of early Christians did ; they havi
everything in common , everything is commoi
property and common fund , out of whicl
every Individual gets what ho needs for hi
personal wants , and into which ovcrythinj
he receives by way of offering or doriatioi
must go. Such an arrangement is ccrtalnl.
biblical enough and American enough no
only to bo understood by Christians uni
Americans but to bo applnuacil by them will
honest approval.
AVlint Are the Jrnults ?
As a professed father of the Society c
Jesus , that is to say , us a full-Hedged Jcsul' '
who has been in the order since HeptemDc
8,18CSI , I believe I know , I am sure I know
what the Jesuits really are , and as there 1
not and never has been any secret about i
I am ready to tell everybody who is willln
to know what the Jesuits really are.
The Jesuits are ono of the religious ordet
of the Catholic church. They nro not monki
not one of the mendicant orders , but ono c
the orders of clergy of the Catholic ! churcl
They arc like all the orders of the churcl
like the Benedictines , the Dominicans , th
Franciscans , in that which essentially const
tutcs every religious order , In thoobscrvanc
of the vows of poverty , chastity and obod
once. The Jesuits differ .from the othi
oracrs of the church in the following points
The ultimate end nt which the order aim
Is not only the salvation and sanctitlcatio
of its members , but the salvation and san
tification also of nil men. i am quoting tl :
very words of our constitution. To reach th :
end the order has by its constitution d
reeled its labors In two directions , uilssloi
nry work and higher education. It is ther
fore an order whoso members are olthi
missionaries or professors , are eitlu
preachers of gospel truth or educators i
colleges and universities. Thcro are foi
grades In the order.
First you have the lay brothers , men wl
assume the burdens of domestic service
the houses of the order , but who nro real
Jesuits , though they never take holy order
They nro not always mechanics and laborer
but sometimes men of education and refln
went , ns was Alnhonsus Hodnguez , now
canonized saint of the church. The sccor
grade of Jesuits is the Scholastics , tr
young men who are destined for the pries
hood , The third grade is that of Splritu
Coadjutois , that Is to say , of priests wl
for one reason or another , generally on a
count of bad health , could nut lltiish all tl
studies required for the highest grade. Tl
fourth grade Is that of Professed Futhor
of priests who , after satisfying all the r
qulrements of the order , make Ilka all pr
fe'ssed religions of other orders , sc
cmn vows of poverty , clmstlty and oboil
cnco , .All thcso grades are Jesuit
every man is n Kellglous , because every 01
takes the three vows , In this they are pc
lectly Hko the members of oilier religlo
orders , Every candidate for the order mu
make n novicoahip of two years , durli
Which his tlmo U spent iu prayer , in stud
ing the rules of the order , in order to satis
himself and the Muster of Novices as to li
vocation. Ho may leave ut any tlmo durli

Riven satisfaction as to his Illness is nllowi
to take th < i simple vows of poverty , chasti
nnd obedience at the expiration of the t\
years , and from that tlmo ho in a Heliglo
of the Society of Jesus. The difference t
tween the simple vows and the solemn voi
in all religious orders la tltli , that the sh
pie vows can bo removed by dispensation i

whereas solemn vows cannot , the dispeusi :

Amen.
This Is numbcrono of the Jesuit vows , and
It Is the genuine article which it will at all
times give mo great pleasure to show to any
inquirer In the books that contain our con
stitution nnd rules. When n lay brother
has been In the order some ten years nnd
has given satisfaction to his superiors ,
ho Is allowed to ptonounco the last , vows of
the temporal coadjutors or lay brothers.
Hero is the formula or last vows of the tem
poral coadjutors or lay brothers.

Training of the Jesuit rather * .
After two years of novlccshlp the young
Jesuit spends two years in post-graduato
courses embracing ancient nnd modern
classic literature , oratory , pedagogy and
normal training generally In nil the branches
of n collcglnto education. Ho next enters
upon a tlireo years' university rourao of men
tal nnd moral phllosphy , physics , chemistry ,
nnd other natural sciences , nnd the higher
mathematics. Seven years are gene when
he enters upon the duties of n college pro
fessor , in which ho Is employed , as a rule ,
for flvo years. Ho then begins his university
course of divinity , spending four years in
studies of scripture , dogmatic nnd
moral theology , canon law , church history ,
liturgy , etc. Sometime before the close of
the course , after ho has labored through
llftccn or sixteen years of ns hard an Intel
lectual training as can bo Imagined , ho Is at
last ordained a priest. But ho is not yet a
completely developed Jesuit. Ono year
more must bo devoted to the study and prac
tice of the spiritual llfo , and to a thorough
review of the constitution and history of the
order , and ho must have completed seven
teen years to the day and hour from the first
day of his noviceshlp , before ho Is allowed to
kneel down before the altar and pronounce
the solemn vows of n professed Jesuit
father. If for some reason or other , the
Jesuit father was unable to go through the
entire training , ho could bo ordained at an
earlier period and admitted to the last vows
of the formed spiritual coadjutor. Hero is
the formula of thcso vows :
I , N.N. , promise to Almighty God , In the pre
sence of Ills Virgin Mothm , and the whole
heavenly court , and to you , Kcv. Father N. ,
general of the Society of Jesus , holding the
place of God In my regard , and to your suc
cessors , ( or to you , Hov. I'ather N , . In place of
the general of the Society of Jesus and his suc
cessors , holding the place of God In my regard )
perpetual poverty , cltiistlly nnd obedience ,
aim In aci'ordancu with that obedience , a spe
cial devotion to the education uf boys accord
ing to the manner o\piessed In the apostolical
Ipttvr : ) and the constitution of the hamo so
ciety.
According to the law of the church all sol
emn vows must bo pronounced in public ; the
Jesuits nro no exception to the rule. Forever
over 300 years they have made their solemn
vows publicly , everybody could po nnd hear
them. It was on February ! > 0 , 1887 , that I
Knelt down before the high altar in the old
college church of St. Louis university and
publicly road my solemn and last vows ,
llcro Is the original draft , written by my
self , and signed by myself with an , ordinary
pen and black ink. 1 never heard or road of
n Jesuit signing his solemn vows with a
poinard dipped in blood , taken from above
his heart , until I came to Omaha a year ago.
If anybody is anxious to inspect this bit of
paper I invite him to cull on mo at the
college. .If ho Is afraid of me , ho can
ask a policeman to accompany him. If he
docs not know Latin let him bring along
some professional man who can read Latin
and understand what it means. This docu
ment had to bo in Latin , it is an ofllcial doc
ument , and , consequently , is written in the
ofllcial language of the church , and not only
of the church , but of all great universities
and colleges , which always'Issuo their di
plomas in Latin. This is my diploma as a
professed father of the Society of Jesus. It
is a real diploma , tor according to the consti
tution of our order , it attests that after fre
quent and rigid examinations in all college
and university courses I was declared by mj
examiners fully competent to hold In nnj
university thochairof philosophy , of science ,
of mathematics and of divinity.
As most of my heaicrs would not under
stand these my last vows in Latin , I shal !
read you the formul.x done into English.

Forgcrlos of the Vow .
For 800 years thcso last and solemn vo\
of the Jesuits were , according to the law
the church , pronounced in public , f
800 years the public heard them , for 8
years nobody , not even the Jesuits , know
any other extreme vows. Not even tl
Monlta Secrota , the most daring of all tl
forgeries against the Society of Jesus , had
word to say against the Jesuit vows. Tl
fabrication of the terrible Jesuit oaths , tl
most outrageous forgery on record in h
tory , was apparently reserved to the plo
zeal of the moat saintly and loyal subjects
her majesty , the queon. Thcso latter d ;
saints nnd most loyal subjects evident
hold the doctrine that the cnti
Justifies the means even the most criminal.
The forgery of the Jesuit oath was first pub
lished In London In 1843 , apparently ns n
part of the Monlta Sccrcta , or secret In-
structlons , which U had never been before.
It was ft lie and n forgery prefixed to the old
tissue of lies , vcrv much enlarged nnd
developed in the English translation. In
18C5 a member of the corporation of Dublin ,
ono of the saints , Introduced n petition to
the British Parliament , which was the eod
of those saints , to take nn almighty action
against the horrible Jesuit oath , borne
members of the corporation who had more
common sense than piety and n llttlo moro
of what wo call gumption than religious
fanaticism , challangcd the saint to give
proof of the Authenticity of the alleged
oath. The saint was highly offended that
ho should bo asked for proof , but ns ho could
not furnish It the corporation as wo say it
simply snowed them under.
The most frightful specimens of the trans
atlantic nnd Canadian Jesuit oath cannot
for a moment compare with the revised , en
larged , stereotyped , blood-curdling , wild
and wooly western Omaha edition which
has been appearing week after week in this
city , presumablyfor the special delccta tlon
of other most loyal nnd saintly subjects.
It Is out natural that these who are not
saintly nnd loyal subjects of the Queen , but
law-abiding cltl/cns of thcso un-IJritlsh
United States , would Hko to have proof from
these latter day Imported saints for the au
thenticity of the oxtremooath of the Jesuits ,
as published In Omaha. I for ono , ns a citl-
rcn born mid reared in this country , chal
lenge every comer to prove that said extreme
oath of the Jesuits Is authentic. 1 denounce
It as a forgery , I publicly denounce It ns a
libel , and It I was sure who the forger or the
llbeler is , I would take stops at once to bring
him to justice In the courts. If thcso saints
nro at nil honest lot them furnish the proofs ;
the burden of proof rests on the nccusers.
And hero In the same breath I denounce
that other forgery of that very alarming
cnclyellcal , according to which the Pope
And the Jesuits are to exterminate all pro-
testants. . The Pope Is ono old man , a pris
oner nt the "Vatican. The Jesuits In the
whole world today do not amount to four
teen thousand. In the United States today
the Jesuits are by actual count no moro than
fifteen hundred , fathers , scholastics and
brothers all told. Yet these llftccn hundred
are going to exterminate llfty millions of

The Jcnult Teaching.
In their teaching In philosophy and theo
logy , the Jesuits have over held , taught and
defended the doctrines of the Catholic
church. So true Is this that the Order has
al , vays been reviled by its enemies ns the
champion of orthodoxy. But they are ever
and again accused of teaching that the cud
justifies the means , no matter how criminal
the means may bo In themselves. This ac
cusation the order has always emphatically
denied. Against its falsity the order has
always appealed to the authentic writings of
its members , and challenged the world to
bring forth a single authentic passage iu
which a Jesuit taught , that the end justifies
means which nro unlawful. Time and again
rewards of thousands of dollars wcro offered
In different countries to any ono who would
conclusively prove by a single authentic
passage that a Jesuit author oven taught
that doctrine. In 1852 Father Uoh read
from the pulpit at Frankfort a declaration
that If anybody could produce a Jesuit
author who had utlorcd the maxim "Tho
end justifies the moans , " literally orincqulv-
alcnt terms , ho would pay him 1,000 llorins
Rhenish currency. The decision was to rest
with the Protestant faculty of the Univer
sity of Heidelberg , or with the mixed fac
ulty , Protestant and Catholic of Bonn. This
olter ho repeated in the Protestant cities of
Hallo in lbO'3 and Bremen in 1SGJ. Ten years
and more had passed and no ono had ac
cepted the challenge. At last a theologian ,
Maurcr by name , put in a claim ; it was not
allowed by the facully of Heidelberg.
In 18S7 Bishop Coxo of Buffalo saw nt to
accuse the Jesuits of teaching that the end
justifies the means. The charge was imme
diately denied by the Jesuit faculty of Canis-
ius college , Buffalo. To their indignant de
nial they added an offer of $1,000 to Blshor.
Coxo or any ono else who could sustain the
slanderous accusation by a smglo reference
to the page of oven one Jesuit writer. The
profoundly learned bishop foil back on th (
"Encyclopaedia Britannica , " nnd from il
quoted Rev. Dr. Littlodnlo at second hand
To his consternation he very soon learnci
that Dr. Llttlcdalo had blundered ogre
glously. The learned bishop has been verj
quiet over since aud nobody has won tb <
§ 1,000 yet. The Jesuits have by this tiim
arrived at the conclusion that the offering o
rewards is becoming as stale as the false
accusations.
Why the Jesuits AVcro so Often Ranlshetl
The saints and most loyal subjects of tci
ask significantly why the Jesuits were ban
ished from so many countries.
They enumerate the countries , give tin
dates , and triumphantly conclude that thi
Jesuits are the sworn enemies of civil gov
eminent. Of course , this argument look :
damaging to the Jesuitj ; but it also lookei
disastrous to Jesus Christ to have been con
dcmncd to death by the Roman governor.
I In all such cases the question Is who t
wrong ? Protestant ministers have been ox
lolled by civil governments tlmo and again
ire they therefore the inveterate enemies o
civil government ?
To give n satisfaclory explanation of th
frequent banishment of the Jesuits , I wll
divide the cases into two classes : First , ban
.shment from Protestant or hcathei
countries ; second , banishment from Catholi
countries.
Why were Jesuits banished from Protest
ant and heathen countries ?
For the same reason that Protestant mln
Isters were banished from Catholic o
tieathen countries ; it was simply because o
religious antagonism , and that proves not !
ing more against Iho Jesuils nnd Catholi
missionaries generally than it docs ngains
the Methodist and Protestant missionarie
in general. If such expulsions give proof o
anything It is of the spirit of Christian mai
tyrdora , and the moro frequent such bnnlsl
monts become the greater the honor an <
jlory should bo for the heroic missionarie :
History of Persecutions.
Why were the Jesuits so often banlsho <
from Catholic countries ?
Before answering this question , lot mo as
another : Why were they as often Invllo
and welcomed back again with universal joj
By whom were they banished from Call
olio countries ? Not by Catholics , not by th
people , not by the orthodox clergv or hlei
archy , not in a single instance. By when
then ? By the enemies of the Catholi
church and by the enemies of all Christiat
ity , whether Cathollo or Protestant , nnd I
the enemies of lawfully constituted civ
government It was , to glvo their prope
names , by the Jansc > ilsts and the Voltairlsl
and the secret societies of the revolutionist
that the weak sovereigns of the Bourbc
dynasty were coerced to expel the Jcsuli
from Catholic lands.
Still , out of the dclugo of slanders an
false accusations the society soon came fort
honorably acquitted ; the Jansenists ai :
Voltairlsts had overdone it , a strong reaclic
was setting in against them , and they woui
have utterly failed of their purpose If tl
secret orders of revolutionist had not ju
then managed to got control of the Bourbc
governments , The Jesuits could not I
crushed by n. llt war of persecution ; they
had to bo annihllMcd by main nnd brute
force.
The pope yielded ftt last to their Impor
tunities nnd thfeit1 throaU , and in 1 3 sup
pressed the ertler"for the maintenance of
peace. " The jwpo's Rood Intcntrtm cannot
bo questioned ho sacrificed the Jesuits for
the sake of peace In church nnd state , but
Instead of ponce the tyrants gave church
ami stnto the horrors of the revolution. The
Jesuits tell M1 with them fell , as the
protestnnt J.'von Mullcr wrote , "a strong
bulwark of Authority. " Singularly enough ,
Frederick of Prussia , ono tlmo leagued with
the Voltnlrlsts , against the Jesuits , now
politely declined to drive them out of his
kingdom , declaring that ho meant to keep
them as a precious seed which would bo In
demand again very soon. Most singular of
all , Catherine of Russia had learned to ap
preciate the Jesuits In her domain so highly
that she would not nllow the decree of their
suppression to bo promulgated in her realm ,
so that in white Russia nlono In till the
world the Society of Jesus yet remained.
The Jesuits were expelled from Franco nnd
Mexico and Italy in recent years , not by
Catholics , but by inlldols and secret oath-
bound revolutionary orders , who were , nnd
still are the tyrants of these countries. Iho
Jesuits consider It an honor to bo banished
from the company of such i men ; If the
saints like their company they had better go
and enjoy It , the sooner the better.
To sum up the question of the frequent
banishments of the Jesuits , they wcro al
ways brought about by the antagonism of
religious fanatics , of Irreligious atheists and
of unprincipled political Intriguers. Of the
three classes , the two last named were the
most powerful and deadly enemies , for they
had no conscience.
History repeat ? Itself , for the same causes
will , under the same conditions , produce the
same effects. The Jesuits have not changed.
They nro still the champions of truth In
religion , of truth In phllosphy , of law and
order in civil government , of Christian
civilization , nnd of God , nnd they nro still
educators and missionaries , and as such in
culcate nnd defend the truth from pulpit ,
platform and professor's chair.
And there are still sectarian fanatics ,
saints who can Ho about the Jesuits ns hero
ically as the Janscnistio Pharisees ,
there are still atheists who hate
Christianity and God as cordially
ns did Voltaire , and there nro still
secret oath-bound organizations leagued
against existing governments , and there are
still a host of ignorant nnd unscrupulous
politicians who cannot gain ofllco or salary
without the backing of the saints and athe
ists and secret orders of revolutionists all
Ihese exist nnd they hate the Jesuits , and
they will leave nothing undone to banish
them from this country , but remember the
lesson of history ; the next blow they will
strike will bo at our established government.
History repeats Itself ; the men who are
conspirators against the Christian ministers
of God will bo found to bo conspirators
against their country , and their real mo
tives nnd purposes will be discovered to bo
the spoils.
The Cathollo church has had n long
and world wide experience with secret
orders , and it is a well known fact that she
has condemned certain secret orders. It Is
a mistake however , and unfortunately a
common cue , to imagine that the church
condemned them because they are secret
or oath-bound. As the law of the church
reads , such orders are condo-nncd because
they either openly or covertly machinate
against the church or against any legitimate

The loadstone of interest at Boyd's New
theater Tuesday and Wednesday , Juno 0 nnd
7 , will bo n now farce comedy called "The
Idea , " in which the popular comedians , Hal-
len and Hartwill appear as the principals.
These entertainers have attained quite an
enviable reputation for humorous ability , as
well as effective organizers , for they nave
already appeared surrounded by plavers
with claims of special reputation. They
"have also gene further , nnd uniformly sup
plied a light and airy entertainment entirely
free from offeilsivo songs , texts or antics.
Their new piece is said to have all the in
gredients which made -'Later On" popular ,
and more , too , with the added advantage of
rhyme and reason. The principal role is that
of "a reformer" crank , who is in a perpetual
stale of nervous worry over the immoral
drift of the world and undertakes , single-
handed , to alter anil purify this uncomfort
able condition of things.
Both Hallen and Hart nro said to ho well
fitted for their respective roles. In the com
pany , besides these agreeable principals , are
Molllo Fuller , Al Wilson , Fannie Bloodgood ,
Alice Carle , Carrie DcMar , Donald Harold ,
Florence Boll , Emma Seymour , W. S.
Francis , Mabel Nichols , Lulu Nichols , Harry
Hilton , Adelaide Crawford , George O'Don-
aid , and several others who are well known
nnd liked. All of the scenery , property ef
fects nnd coslumes , it is said , will bo new ]
also the music , songs and dances. The
locale of the piece is New Orleans. Seats
are now on sale.
