entirely within their rights far the observ-
ance of Christmas in the public schools went, ana
said that they were simply giving the other sects

the other sects, meaning the Protestant denom-
nations, had FOR years passed rules and reSula-
TONS intended 10 oppose and fight the Roman Cath
Ole Church.

would have had the courage make such de-
clsion despite the fact that the law plain

ests and at the Jews, since they practically
uoiled them. The monsjgnor arragned the French
government for attempting to drive the Lord
Jesus Christ of France"
