JEsUITICAL AIMS AND RESOURCES.

The disaeyerep of America was n devout
Roman Catholic. Long before the Pill
grims landeden Plymouth Rock, Christie
pher Columbus baptised and consecrated
che New World to the mother church
Since that time Rome has been laying out
her resources for its conquest. The Prot
estant seems to be far ahead; has fought
many battle and gained many victory.
The brain of theeverlasting Yankee, aided
by the bone and muscle of other nations
has fought out many brilliant trnnsforma-
tions. The U. S. A. appears ginnt-like ;
running race and able to meet any emer-
gency. But while we sing our Centennial
songs, we must not forget that there is an
order Of Jesuits. Bismark could find ia
yored pet to ,rout the French, but when
he returned home from Paris to Berlin, he
discovered THAT beloved Germany was in
the grip of Il secret order which Won Moltki
could not conquer. So, go where YOU
will, among all the nations of the earth,
there is the Jesuite. Is he beggar or
peddler? Hdy, morei he Is spy, an
emissary of Rome in disguise gathering
information for the best organized, and
most powerful hierarchy on earth. Or, is he
a priest ora bishop? He has but one aim !:
" To conquer the whole world for mother
church. These Jesuits have visited every
nook and corner of North America. This
secret order have marked and spotted the
United States aS the pest-hOu5e of Protest
ants; the hot-bed of heretics. No other
place has so tried the patience of Notre
Dame. Aside from Martin Luther and his
band no specimen Of humanity has given
Rome more heart-aches than the doomed
Yankee, Roma must rule the Pope is
Gods vice gerent his high maniate de-
mands unconditional submission, But
that Yankee; that eternally qnirring Y an
kee wants to know why? and will ask more
qu, stions insone hour than the Pope and
all his CIr,linals can answer in n thousand
years. The Pope is fully determined, by
and by, in dne.time, to shut the Yankees
mouth. And he'll do it-if he can. 1t
remains to be secn yhether the Jesuite is a
match for the Yankee.
Many a'map lhaasaid, al have no fear
Of the Catholic power. The people ot this
enlightened ege Know too much to be en-
shaved. KonpIdsm is founded on iRno-
rance" This Is not quite true, either as to
komanism or the people of this age. DR..
Bushnell, whoa was a close observer, said
our fine institutions were most endang-
cred by bnrbarism and ignorance among
the Masses" A few leaders carry the sway
both North and South. Parties rule The
people are led to the polls like a flock of
sheep, and will sell votes for drink or
quId. Not very complimentary, but is
it not so? Whereas, ROmanism is based
on n profound knowledge of human nature.
The leaders are learned and wiseand crafty
men. They will take into the loving bn-
som of the mother church whole tribe of
Indians in thirty minutes. Can Moody
and Sankey do better? The Methodists
say: Those Catholics are barbarians."
The Catholics reiterate and say Those
Methodists are heathcns." But where il
the educatiomor enlightenment? Do the
Catholics not lie and steal aud commit
adultery? Shall we say Protestants do
not do so too? The one party sends Offend |
ers 10 hell, the, other to purgaory. But
what is the difference? The fact is the |
| 'ers IN thh Catholic church are both |
highly e lucated and refined. As fond |
m ther, she takes all her children in her |
loving bosom and for this loving care she |
demands and unconditional obedience and |
good pay. Bin her wrath upon heretics is
terrible. She can never show them any
mercy. The sisterhood of mercy have no |
bowels of compassion for these confirmed
lnbelievers. It's merciful dispensations are
designed to lead the lost and perishing
9anderer, to the motherly arms for protec.
lion, safety and reform, To those who
come, she offers heaven. To those who re-
iuse, she loads with bitter curses and COM
nits to the fumes. Her system of educa-
ion like, her is absolute. No favor, no fel.
owship, no federation with outsiders. 1t

he control OF the schools or no schools at

supreme, or there must be neither Church
ior State. She must do the thinking and
praying for her children while they are

ures and works Of ara, or earning money
