Observer socks to hold up to criticism and
contempt. Our only wonder is that this
action mas been 80 long delayed. Ever
has been filed with the basest written
sneers and attacks upon the Church of
Rome and the vilest craven libels upon it's
priesthood and religious forms that politi-
cal hate and ecclesiastical bigotry COM

tickled the malignants Of all Protestant
churches immensely and the Harpers,
doubtless, made handsome thing out Of
the sale of their "jonrnal of civilization "
among the vast multitude of people who
have been trained to hate the Church that
embraces within its fold more perishing
souls who bow to the name of Jesus, by
many millions, than all the sects of the
Protestant world put together.
Now it is possible that the Catholics
ought to have enjoyed this abuse. and,
having had one cheek buffeted black and
