invention for the benefit of the priests.
They think that Catholics are BAN
boozled by the priests and that the offer
ing of the holy sacrifice for the souls of
the dead is for the purpose of making
money. Every we'll instructed Catholic
knows the necessity of praying for his
departed friends, and what donation is
made to the celebrant of the mas is to
compensate him for his labor in Of
ticiating at the altar. The same rule
obtains in Mexico us in the United

actly as they do everywhere else. 1t is

John NJ. Palmer was put up by them as

foundation for the report or not, but the
