il is nominally illegal for them tn be
there. yet they have crept in under va
rious names. As an illustration OF
what they can do. even the German
Emperor himself bought the vote Of
| the Roman Catholic party in his
Reichstag by allowing the JeSmts to-
return last year into Germany. and to-
reoccupy the position from which his
father had expelled them. WHAT ri
mean by saying that the Jesuit SoCie-

Catholic Church is what every student
! of ecclesiastical history is aware viz
that their final triumph was achieved
| in our own time at the Vatican council.
when the Pope was decreed personally
| infallible in all matters OF faith and
morals. and there is nothing that can
not be brought under that head apart
/ altogether from the assent or con-
| sent of the Catholic Church assembled
| in general council. and IL the Pope is
! personally infallible. the Jesuit conclu-
| sion logically follows. IL is your duty
/ TO be like corpse or a walkin-stick:
| if the Pope's voice is the infallible
voice of God. then whatever your
| conscience says to the contrary must
be wrong. And so the Jesuits now

ter of fact, of the two the General OF
| the Jesuits has the greater power. He
| is commonly known in Rome as the
Black Pope" To distinguish him from
the Pope himself. who always appears
in public robed in white; and many
illustrations might be given OF the
power behind the throne. OF the way
in which the 'Black Pope" dominates
the White Pope"
Now, in what way does this hit OF
| history bear upon the matter before
us? The Jssuits were petted by Ma
poleon III. and were allowed to domi-
nate everything in France; and they
have been more or less favored by rep
resentatives of the old Monarchist par
ty; but, in a republic. in the very ma
tfre of things, the absolutism OF the
Jesuit ethics is practically impossible.
No genuine republican can hand over to
anyone, except God, the supremacy
over his conscience: and the result Is
that the Jesuits. who have gained n
strong foothold. have been plotting for
some time to destroy the republic. and
to- restore either the Duke OF Orleans
or Victor Napoleon. in order that they
I might once more be supreme. And
they have used in this case. as they
have very wisely used. education as
their instrument for moulding iniluen-
tial people according to their ideas
