..so ;s bishop of New York. wants
 al n bu;ld a church in Canada. He
 wrote the pope 70 send him relic.
 The pope sawed of q finger from the hand of the skeleton of the grand
 ,,a-,1er of God tnow Ead .aush This ;s a fact. and I have Co"r.san's own words for il here in this book which I hold in my handt and sent i, 10 Corr.ean. who placed il in glass case and .old the people 70 come 10 -he church and take q look a, ir. This privilege cost each poor Catholic one dollar, In this way Corr:gan raised the sum Of $500 with which 10 build his church i'll Caraia, l don't know how long these old popes have been saving bones from the skeleton Of the grandmother of God. but i, seems they have a good supply and can fill all orders on short notice. Now, God is the Creator of all things, How could God have a grandmother Yet. these priests force their people 10 believe such damnable nonsense.
 They have another good scheme by which they raise money. Al the time Of Constantine. a so-called St. Helena went 10 the Holy Land 10 recover the cross on which Jesus was crucified. She mis.ook some other hill for Cal vary and there she claimed to have found rhe true cross. with all the nails which pierced the hands and fee. of Jesus as well as the spear which pierced his side and the crown Of thorns which he Wore and the coae which was without seam.
 She sent them 10 the pope. who a. once canonized her-Jhat is, he made her saint and to this day they call ber St. Helena Ever since that time every Catholic church can show Eou true cross and the nails and crown Of thorns which the ignorant Catho- lies must believe or be prayed into hell or purgatory: but the infalllb.e popes got mixed Up when t came 0 the seamless garment find that five infallible popes said il was the true garment which Christ wore; but sev- en infallible popes have agreed that the garment was a humbug Just think of it. A true cross with the identical nails and the spear which pierced the side of Jesus and the crown Of thorns which he wore can be found in every Catholic church. They show these things to their ig- norant followers at certain times and 1t is a great scheme to raise money. They have another great scheme. The same St. Helena discovered the house in which Jesus and Mary lived. It was stone house 13 feet high, 12 feet wide and 29 feet long, She found the tin cup which Jesus Hsed to drink out of. They had masnifi- cent church built around the house but when the Mohamm edans over- ran that country the pope commanded God to remove it before the Moham- medans could reach il. God had it picked up and it gently sailed over Adriatic sea and landed gracefully Il some town in France Che named the town, but l did not catch the name, where it now rests and where it can be seen with the little tin cup just as Jesus left il. Iaughter.)
 Think Of it. The pope commanding God to remove stone house and have it fly through the ai~ like bird and land gracefully on a spot just where the pope wanted 1t! Why, these priests have the two last dying breaths of Joseph bottled up in q tWO-ounce vial.
 Jesus had not whereon to lay his head, but this Man of Sin, the Pope of Rome. clothed in his lecherous robes of scarlet. has three million doi- lars year of Peters pence. And there are other superstitions which l can't talk about tonight, as l have talked too long now; but, ladies and gentlemen, it makes me sad, indeed, to know that l live in community where these abominations are toler- ated.
 With these remarks, as near as may ha the gentleman closed his dis course.
 Many expressions used by this sneaker were vile and unfit to fall from the lips of any man. Yours re spectfully,
 CHARLES F. MOORE.
