the dimes, the nickles and the pennies
to perpetuate their fraud, to prevent
and destroy our frs’ernal orders, and
to help capture every branch of our
government and to final'y Catho'icise
America.
Of course the ignorant dupes who

Dear Friend:—
Enclosed find $1.0<> to help in your
good work. 1 urn already a subscriber

Would that we had more true Am­

Right is Might. Evil often seems
to be power but it is not, as there is
but one power and that is God- good
—ami by doing our work right this
will lie demonstrated. One with God
is a majority.
In Luke we read what Jesus said:
Fear not little flock; for it is the Fa­

Kingdom.”
Wishing you and your good wife

a copy of The Catholic Sentinal of
Portland, on the front page of which,
in bold letters in the head-lines was
d'splayed the above title. It claims
to be a report of a debate between
two young men of this place, neither
of which belong to any church, hut
who attemped to discuss the subject

literary program given by the societies
of the college. The hoys had pre-

affirmative, and without much pre-
