questions I'm reply to the father shall be
made from his view Of the matter. The
reverend father mistakes when he thinks
we have for one moment forgot or set aside
Gods almighty truths. But we have set
aside and will continue to set aside
the teachings of any and all,
Be they Reverend or otherwise. who teach
us darkness is light, wrong is right. fraud is
justice, money is power. OF anything which
tends to degrade mankind, we, the major
ity of the masses, have raised ourselves
above the savage and inhuman belief that
servants shall obey their masters. soldiers
obey orders and Christians be led by the
church. No matter where the church may
lead, we brand as crime any august de-
mand or command other than those based
on justice. love and mercy. 1t is our pur-
pose to lift all mankind from degradation
and sin and place them on sure and solid
foundation. from which they may develop

WHAT HAS THE CHURCH DONE?
In conclusion / will ask Father McGol-
rick:
Does Ireland owe her independence to
the church =?
Does England owe her enslavement (by
usury, arrogance and crime) to the church
Was not the French revolution. with its
rivers of blood and innumerable crimes. the
result of an oppressed and ignorant people;
people who did not know they held in
their hands peaceable yet mightier power

no church in France to lift mp its voice
against the damnable curse of titled heads.

non-prOducers who had tooth and nail

that they might live in idleness and wrong

Did not the church save us from the Eng
lish yoke when our country was in infancy?
And later did not the church Danish slavery
from our country while our fathers were
hiding in the woods and hills lest a south

Ali Father McGolrick. you are surely
blind or will not see. the first of which is
a sad misfortune. the last a crime. else
you would see the mighty war clouds
which obscure the sunshine of peace and
prosperity from almost every country on
Gods green earth. What means the white

| from the North to South and East TO West?
We do not wish French revolution, a
colonial war or a slavery rebellion, yet we
will suffer anything rather than the chains
of slavery. Their embrace is worse than
death, their clanking more horrible than the
roar of cannon or even the horrors
of Libby prison. Hence, to all
who array themselves against us,
our command is stand aside; ouI
march is onward and upward. Soon
millionaires and their tools must step down
and out. Honest-men await to render just
ice IN their stead. Honest men and women
shall occupy our places of trust. G. l.. l..
