anything more awful than for one set Of
men to burn another set Of men At the
stake-yet 1t was q universal disease.
THEY BURNED EACH OTHER
when they got a chance. 1t was the spirit
Of the age. Why. the man today who
would attempt to burn alive even dog on
under In little town In Wisconsin named
F4lport Junction. In passing through 1t the
other day, saw flag staff. My attention
was drsWn to 1t, and there ! saw by the
would float There was cross floating
above the flag What is the cross an en-
blenl Of in this world? It has been an en-
blen Of the worst cruelty and the greatest
tholomsw exists in the pages Of history to-
day in the name Of the cross and In the
name Of the cross men have
been killed who stood up and de-
clared that Jesus Christ alone
can forgive SINS and God himself was the
father Of man without going to the holy
father. Yet these men were consumed and
burned because they refused to believe in
the dogmas which were supposed to be rep
resented underneath that cross. Now, I
come to this statement OF Judge Dunn's.
Let me give you his statement which he
made In a musical meeting, and Archbishop
Ryan presided. He says: Il do not con-.
slider that we are doing our duty as Amer
lean citizens, to ourselves or our children.
In permitting such a system Of public
another statment Is made in the Roman
Catholic Review regarding this very mat
ter. This Is another paper OF authority.
or magazine, which teaches doctrines and
gives out the utterances Of the church
with all due regard to authority. 'Tt Is
the states assumption Of the right to tax
powerful minority to support school sys-
tenn 1t will not use, and must be resisted.
No taxation without representation" Who
Is 1t that refuses to take advantage Of our
public schools7 The Roman Catholic
Church Why does she refuse to dc so?
Because II our children and her children are
brought up together. liberalism would per-
meate the whole, and they will become one
mass She desires that they shall stand
alone, distinct She desires her children to
march alone We are the holy set. we are
the set apart, and you are the heretics
Now who is 1t making the distinction?
Who Is 1t that created the division? The
A. p. A. have not refused to support the
schools, to support organizations to- keep
apart their children for fear the children
will get together and talk about the good
things of freedom and liberalism.
Now, Mr. Donnelly Of course has a good
deal more time than I have He has the
close. which ought to have, as make the
aff1rmations and the Introduction, but my
time is up and am satisfied. I could talk
all night with Mr.. Donnelly. and I~would
like to. l would state here Of course In
bringing my evidence, I have evidence re-
garding the schools and the building Of pa
tochial schools, but have not had time to
produce 1t to you. I have a certain state
ment here in the Judges Of Five" page TO-
This book was published, giving the DEGREES
OF the third plenary council OF Baltimore
regarding the matter and the purpose was
to go on and undermine our schools by
drawing away their own children from them
and by and by, the report says the school
buildings will drop into our hands.

with you tonight. My honorable friend here,
Of course, had not touched that subject
You understand 1t Is hard subject to
handle because he hasn't got the facts He
Is arguing against fact. Now, you remind
me of the condition Of Elijah and his posi-
ton reminds me Of that farce Elijah on
Mount Horeb stood in the midst of it and
1t began to thunder and 1t lightened; sar-
casm was lightning in every direction. The
whfrlwind rushed down from the valley
and the storms began to roll down and the
dust to rise By and by when all this
fury Of the tempest and storm was past
Elijah stood there wiping the dust out Of
his eyes, and there came word that God
wasn't in the thunder; God wasn't in the
lightning; God wasn't in the tempest Of
wind; He was not in the earthquake; He
was not in the valley with the rolling
stones, but He was in the still small voice.
May God be with you in the still small
voice Of facts tonight My object Is not to
ALLEVIATE Roman Catholics and divide them
or separate them from the bonds Of Chris
tianity. but to bring them together on the
ground of common Christianity. be-
lieve there Is one common beaten place
where all men can meet. I believe there
Is no need Of a pope in religion any more
than there Is need Of king. believe that
that God who rules the world by the still
small voice will rule US by that still small
voice Of conscience, and after the dust gets
out Of our eyes that conscience of ours will
indicate to US that God himself is in the
still small voice. ] ask you as an Ameri-
can Jury tonight that you take this SUBJ
ject into consideration. While I have not
been able to introduce to you one-half Of
the evidence yet l believe have intro
duced sufficient to maintain certain Of my
declarations in the affirmative which l made
In the beginning. CLong and continued ap-
plause.)
