Can this mAoly writer on the San Francisco
Leader, who tries to defend. in contradiction to
Christ, the refusing of perishable bread to Lag

care If the writ{ should drag the family SEARS OF
the eade1 editor to the brutal light of day:
A journalistic stroke of the whip will only leave
a blue mark and pass away, but vigorous stroke
of human to,ipnc will break human tones and
human hearts.
We will nowl digress little.

But TO return to our defense justifable in every
way before God and man. The tongue Of he slam
derer where the person is designated, is a raging
fire which scorches all within its reach turns It's
f,;ry against the good and the bad, leaving behind it
run and desolation. It feeds with delight what
is rnost ucred and secret destroys those WHO are
trying to live in rectitud and soidity, anal black
ems forever what it cannon consume The slam
derer takes secret pride in revealing the mote in
his brothers eve and cannot, being blinded with
slime, see the beam in his OWL Full of base envy,
he takes ofense at the superiority and success of
others, and lives only by impairing it In the
breast of the slandercr is disguised hatred which
distlls in word the poisonous fermentation of the
heart There is contemplate hypocrisy which
praises openly and reviles secretly.
In conclusion, we beg permission to assert. #
our word will not be the next thing questioned, that
we have never met Father Judge, and did not even
assert anything against him. He never gave us
anything, nor any other priest which we did not
deserve Except absolution and kind words). 1t is
one thing to attack an editorial and another the
personal character of the writer, between which the
bombastie, stupid and faeran; Ounce the Leader
cannot distinguish
i But what must be the weakness and disorder
among people who read the Leader with its de-
PRAYED editorials in defense of public thieves who
despoiled men, women and children during the hor-
rors of earthquake and fire!
This is very serious and grave matter which it
is terrible pity the Catholic Hierarchy of
San Francisco cannot apparently rectify but
trust the grace and power of Christ will unmask
these hypocrites wherever they may exist to the
greater glory and publication of the Holy Roman
Catholic Church
We believe the main for this unjust at
tack Oh our personal character is due to the fact
that published, few weeks ago, article deal
ing with obedience of priests to the good and gentle
bishops of the American Hierarchy, and this shaft
whose point had no malice in it, evidently struck
the right spot but let them remember that we have
only just begun to fight. and intend to fight
along these lines till the breath leaves body
which will be the same thing. till we are brought
down with foul and traterous stabs and we will
remain serene through it all whilever
science and our Cody Christ re'satisfed
