| not bring forward the only calumny 50
often thundered from Protestant pu1pits:
:The Jesuits teach thatit is lawful to do
| evil provided good may result. His
hearers can no longer be caught by this
exploded falsehood. SO he worldly wise
plays unto their prejudice another lie
the so-called saying Of Lafayette. DR..
BurreN must indeed be shut up IN the
egg OF hard she'll Presby terianism Il
he can believe that Lafayette ever
uttered such words, and he must, more
| over, believe his audience extremely
| ignorant if he thinks he can get sensible
men to swallow such gigantic plums.
Spain, Austria. Italy, DR.. Burre1l des-
cribes as seen through Presbyterian
spectaoles. What Catholic works has he
read on the state of society IN SPAN?
Does he consider Italy improved in
morals since the Pope was deprived Of
his temperatures? Who but the Gath
olio Center party has been the bulwark
of liberty in Germany? Has he con-
! sidered the tremendous difference in
holy purity in favor OF Catholic Ireland
as against the ''black Presbyterian
North or Presbyterian Scotland? Here
are the latest figures from Mulhall, 1880:
Scotland. 80 illegitimate per 1000
| births.
England, IS illegitimate per 1000
births.
ireland. % illegitimate per 1000
! births.
In Wistonshire, in Scotland. the pro-
portion is $50 lllegitimate to every 1000
births. while IN Catholic Tipperary it il
6 to the thousand. On this subject read
the Memorandum Of Ireland" by the
Protestant DR.. Forbes. and James
| Anthony Froude's lecture in New York,
reported in the Times of that city Nov
16, 1872.
Now for the education question. In
the English civil service and prize ex-
aminations, who are year after year
taking the highest places and the first
prizes? Irish and English young men
and women taught by The Jesuits and
the Christian Brothers, or in the schools
of the Catholic sisters. This fact has so
impressed Protestant statesman, Lord
Randolph Churchill, that in the house
of commons, and in letters to the Times,
he repeatedly demands Tor Catholic
schools government aid. Why are these
truths hidden from American Profess
tants. and instead every effort made to
throw between them and Catholic truth
clouds of bigotry. "Render to Caesar
what are CAESARS, to God what are
Gods" But if the commands clash?
"God is to be obeved rather than man"
The apostles and their Successors dis
obeyed Caesar, and suffered for it death
rather than suffer death eternal. Jesus
was denounced as an enemy of the state.
Hear the words of the Jewish priests
against him, and compare them with the
pulpit denunciations against the Catholic
church: eff we let him alone so, all
will believe in him. and the Romans
will come and take away our place and
our nation. John XII. 48. Catholic
blood and Catholic genius had their
place in building up our republic and
maintaining it against all enemies.
When the civil war arose, amongst the
thousands of priests who rushed to the
front to care for and comfort the soldiers
we have yet amongst us Archbishop
ireland and the venerable Dominican.
rather Egan. Of Minneapolis. Where
was DR.. Burreu then! While Protes-
tant England was destroying our COM
MERGE, and doing everything possible TO
destroy the republic, who fought for
union on many bloody field? The
Irish and German and American Catholic.
But forget Kearney's name, and Sheri-
dams glories and Meagher's courage.
Oh. breathe not their names, nor the
glorious names of hundreds of thousands
whom any nation would delight to honor,
because DR.. Burrell has ex cathedra de.
clared that Oatholicity, which they held
dearer than life, is opposed to the state.
