to prove the face that this party is the child Of

have thus briefly touched upon the ,funda-
mental hope OF Jesnitism, because. without
understanding perfectly tho aim and purpose
which these men pursue, it would be utterly inn
possible to understand and judge anght the
deeds which they have performed and the doc
trlnes which they teach. The wel-known Jesu.
1tical maxim, "The end juatides the means,"
ceases to DO paradoxica! and illogical, when we
take into consideration that these Jealous advo-
Gates Of Papal Supremacy pretend to cherish the
conviction Tint al existing forms Of government
are in their moral, political, social, and religlous
eject immeasurally inferior to the great bless

ration OF the Pope 50 tho quasi Emperor OF the

uit,sm. To reach this selfish aim Al means
