Politics must be kept out Of the Church. but
when it was question Of whether young peo-
pie should be snatched from the path OF virtue.
whether one hundred thousand should be gained
by the forces OF evil to every ten thousand saved
by the Church it was not question OF politics,
but OF religion.

been that people, especially the young. were
being debauched by a system built, sustained
and enlarged by the officials Of the government
as silent partners. and the shame had not been
