Mr.. Carpenter is now in the Holy

does not agree with his free-and-easy
notions of religion. He says. for in
stance, that "the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre is beehive of superstition. >"
he does not tell us what he means by
superstition, nor does he allege any
proof of his sweeping statement He
evidently considers it proof enough
that Carpenter makes it. This is a
sample of the tenor of his article.
In speaking of the finding of the
True Cross of ST. Helena he finds an
opportunity to ridicule something sa-
cred, so he adds. There are SO many
pieces scattered over the world that
venture you could build a house with
them" We don't know whether Mr..
Carpenter has read the article pub
lished by the Catholic Truth society

to make public exhibition of his ig-

Mr. Carpenter has been taken to
task before for his misstatements in
regard to Catholic countries. He
seems to be incapable of understands
ing anything about the Catholic re-
llglon or else he makes no effort to
inform himself before he rushes into
print with his impressions.

he is not positively irreligious and
