the knights Of st. Patrick? and
probably from ten to twenty other
societies ? With the past before us
can we expect a Roman Catholic |
soldier 10 be more faithful in the
future?
| have asked you quite a lot
of questions. 1 have asserted facts.
/ gave you page, verse and volume.
You only quote Hon. Chas. S.
Thomas. / would like some infor-
nation regarding him. Who is the
gentleman you quote? Did he pay
his butcher bill of $50? Did he
pay his grocery bill Of? Did he
send his children to the Methodist
Sunday school? Kindly let me
know what date he appeared on the
public platform and read his string
of questions and was there any
one in the hall but himself? III
you can produce his string of ques-
tions | will go after the s. 900, as
/ need them very badly. But II
your assertion is correct the A. p.
A. have gobbled up the $1,000 long
ago, and Hon. Chas. S. Thomas is
a member of the a. p. A. now and
his money has been turned into
| literature to educate the masses as
to the need of the a. p. A.
You refuse to believe utterauces
sworn to in circuit court OF the
United States by one OF your own
bishops at Kankakee, ILL.,, Dec. 80,
1870; probably had quoted Moses
and the ten commandments you
| would want to see one OF the origi.
nal rocks, or Moses himself. re-
ferred you to st. Thomas OF
Aquinas, vol. 4, pages 81, "a and
etc. In reply you state st. Thomas
Of Aquinas, is dead. You also state
he died in l247, 800 years before
the discovery OF America and
five hundred years before the
existence OF the United States, You
thereby acknowledge he once lived,
so by your own testimony you have
proven / am so far right. / will Qi
you will keep this argument up
prove by yourself l am altogether
right. 1 ask you IL he was an au.
thority Of the Catholic church, and
IS you say, / ask you to produce
any proof by original docu ments
or reputable authorities with spe-
cific names and dates for their
verification that he ever lived OF
ever died.
would ask do you acknowledge
the Corpus Juris Canonici, Leipsic
edition, 1889, as an authority.
| Unfortunately for the Catholic
church many of her greatest writ
ers' works are in the hands OF the
enemy and are easily translated
and probably you will succeed in
getting me to have them trans
lated by citizens of San Antonio ;
but then, you would say it was not
I oSs of.the original works.
Knight give you dates On which
the Jesuits have been expelled
from both Catholic and Protestant
countries. l might tell you Gffe
italian government (Catholic) re-
fuses to allow the cardinals to vote
for a new pope on italian soil, but L
think I have given you enough to
chew on, and by quoting part OF
a letter / received from Dayton, o.,
yesterday morning. 1t says, "Read
the Daily LIGHT OF March 81.
Thanks. You scorched them, and
you will find they will quit
monkeying with the buzz saw. They
won't dare to keep up the contro-
versy in the paper. The priest
will stop it IL they don't volun-
tarily. 1t won't pay them, l wish
1 had the first papers OF the con-
troversy," and so probably your
communication was the last 10 be
signed james Wharenberger,'
which l sincerely hope not. Be-
lieve me to be your friend,
ED. Z. SMITH.
/ have read the speech of Mr..
Fitzgerald in the Daily LIGHT
and Daily Express, OF April 8, and
find two different accounts now as
the press of free ~ America in I'M
der Roman rule, which can / be-
lieve L, see the American parties
voted 1874 for to 81 against, so Mr..
Fitzgerald's wind did not change
the minds of Americans.
