Neither is the contention that Louis

The cases are not analogous.

any such murderous oath. as he
pretends that Jesuits take, is 'svir-
tually or otherwise binding upon
the Catholic laity.''
The Jesuit order needs no defense
against Mr. Arceneaux Since, how
ever, the subject is up, we think it in
order to lay before your readers the
following testimony of Voltaire, who
though certainly opposed to all reli-
gion and having particular hatred
towards the Catholic church, was in
his early life pupil of the Jesnits.
In a letter OF date Feb. 7, 1746, Vol
taire testifies as follows: Touring the
seven years that T lived in acollege of
the Jesuits, what have I seen there?
Lives the most frugal, the hours of the
day divided between their care of US
and the exercise of their austere pro-
fessiou. I call as witnesses the thou.
sands of men educated as was. There.
fore it is that | am lost in astonish-
ment at any one daring to accuse
them of teaching relaxed or corrupt
morality T.. make no scruple
in proclaiming that there is nothing
more iniquitous, more shameful to
humanity than to accuse of relaxed
morality men who live in Europe the
severest lives, and who go seeking the
most cruel deaths to the extremities Of
Asia and America. y
