EXCORIATING THE JESUITS
Fierce Onslaught BY Rev. DR.. T. C.
EastOn Upon This Powerful Order.
Responsible for the Assassina tiOn of
Presidents Lincoln and Garfield
and Wants Them Expelled.

Dr. T. C. Easton, pastor Of the Eastern
Presbyterian Church, gave the first of
series Of lectures last night on ''The
Jesuits, their rise and organization "
He selected as his text this quotation:
with their tongues they have used deceit;
the poison OF asps is under their lips and
their feet are swift to shed blood" He
said in part:
The Jesuit is a being dead to every
sentiment of nature, to every motive of
honor, to every feeling of humanity They
are means to accomplish the daep-seated
schemes of papal aggrandizemeDt.
" Jesuits have no love OF morality, no
fear OF God, no chord of sympathy with
suffering humanity; they are almost
wholly unpriDcipled, unreasoning, but
shrewd, energetic, and untiring III their
devotion to the Papacy. During the 356
years of their existence, they have proved
TO be one of the greatest curses Europe has
been called upon to endure.
Remembering that robbery. falsehood,
murder and fiendish cruelty still charac-
teriZe Jesuitism. and that their code of
morals remains unrevised; that the Jes-
uitS have teen regarded as q moral pesti-
lence and expelled from every country
tered. and that America is flooded with
them, and Washington, the capital of
the republic, swarms with these foes TO
our free institutions. | desire 20 Sound an
alarm in the ear of the nation ere these
sappers and miners Of Romanism, prop
erly denomiuated by sherman as the
engineer corps of he'll shall have wrought
our national ruin.
'Nor shall we cease this warfare upon
Jesuitism until we see that Papal prince
OF the Society of Jesus, Satolli, and his
host of satellites are expelled by act of
Congress.
when the Jesuits, in their efforts to
make converts, went to India, they pro-
fessed To be Brahmins OF pure descent; in
China they said there was no difference
between the doctrines of Confucius and
Jesus, and to gain favor taught that Chris
tianity sanctioned the indulgence of all
the vices, even denying, for the sake OF
gain, that Christ was ever crucified.
when they went among the red Indians
they told them that Jesus Christ was a
mighty chief who had scaIped more men,
women aud children than any other war
rior that ever lived. They made any COM
promise, however foul. to swell the roll
of recruits TO the black militia of ST.
Ignatius.'
1T is not, to any thoughtful student OF
history, at all surprising that in this clos
ing part of the Nineteenth century two as
sassiuatious OF American Presidents have
been charged to the Jesuits, aud that
Wilkes Booth and Guiteau Were but plant
tools of the Societas Jesus
ION the 23d OF October, 1S41, the most
atrocious scenes of slaughter took place
in the North of ireland, when 200 600
ProteStants were mu rdered. O'Nei /,
the Romish primate of all Ireland, declared
this to be a most pious war and
Pope Urban VIII granted absolute re-
mission of all sins to those who had done
what in them lay TO extirpate and root
out heretical contagion.
'Is it to be deemed horrible to an
order of Jesuits that Abraham Lincoln,
one of the purest, ablest aud most mag
unanimous Of men, should be assassinated
as matter OF revenge and personal hate.
Certainly not.
Quoting from the language of a Cath
olic priest in st. Louis, who, after denun-
citation of Professionalism, sa id: The
fate of this country and its people is in
the hands of the priesthood DR.. Easton
inquired:
a. WAS it meant as a threat? Was
it braZen impudence only, and priestly
bravado? Was it for intimidation? 1t
matters not This country is not yet
in the hands of the papal priesthood, and
the spirit OF Americans is against alien
ism, and will smite down to dust every
traitor
"A storm is gathering, and the hope of
averting the religious conflict as seen
by Lincoln and Grant is in. the expulsion
of Satolli and all the Jesuits from this
land consecrated to civil and religious
freedom
