THE LOTTERY OF SOULS"

A Writer in New York Paper Re.
flutes Calumnics Circulated.
The following letter, which explains
itself, appeared in the New York Sun,
| from the pen of a convert:
To the Editor of the Sun: Sir: Since
the beginning of the present year there
has been fantastic item of fake" news
floating through the columns of the New
York daily press. and now that the Sun
has given it the honor of a place in it's
columns it is time to call public attention
to this ambuating bit of nonsense.
The Christian Endeavor World is re-
sponsible for its first appearance. About
ten months ago it was presented as fol-
lows in the columns of that paper:
The Rev. Francis S. Borton, mis-
sionary in Puebla, Mexico. says that he
recently saw the following notice in a
Roman Catholic church in Mexico:
Rattle for Souls-At the last rattle for
souls the following numbers obtained
the prize, and the lucky holders may be
assured that their loved ones are out Of
purgatory:
Ticket S4l-rhe soul of the lawyer,
James Vasquez, is released from pur-
gatory and ushered into heavenly joys.
"Ticket 41-The soul of Nine. Calderon
is made happy forever
widow, Francesca de Paris, is forever
released from the flames of purgatory.
Another rattle for souls will be held
at the same blessed Churcn of the Re-
deemer, Jan. /, at which four bleeding
and tortured souls will be released from
purgatory to heaven, according to the
four highest tickets in this most holy
lottery. Tickets ST. 10 be had of the
father in charge. Will you, for the poor
sum of 81. leave your loved ones to burn
In purgatory for ages?"
A few weeks later some highly re-
spectacle journals in New York gave this
remarkable item their attention and
copied the canard with as much gravity
as though it were cable dispatch.
BY this time the Catholic newspapers
found that patience had ceased to be a
virtue. The Rev. Mr. Borton, the Metho-
dist missionary to Puebla, was invited to
explain upon which one of Mexicos MI
merous church doors from the Rio
Grande to Yucatan he had found posted
the document in question.
Mr.. Borton declared that he made the
translation on the spot from written
little town of Matamoros. The pastor of
the church, Father S. c. de Leon, in a
letter over his own signature in the
Southern Messenger of San Antonio,
Tex, asserted that the charge was false
There is commandment which says:
Thou shalt not bear false Witness but
let us be charitable to this Protestant
Christian minister and believe no worse
of him than that he had but an indif-
ferent knowledge of the Spanish Ian
guage. If he knew anything Of the Cath
Ollie church. he would not need to be told
that no Catholic priest pretends to know
when any soul will be released from
purgatory On that foundation alone
the Lottery of Souls" canard dissolves
and disappears.
We cannot hope to hear the last of TINS
fable, however. now that the Sun has
taken it up in it's issue of Sept. II, and
started it afresh on it's wicked little
round. The late correspondent has
changed the locality to Puebla Los An
