Writing from a librarians point O.
view William Stetson Merrill, himself
Catholic, and an official of the Chi
cago Public Library, declares that NJ
writer will lose in the end by per
hitting the fact to be known that h
is Catholic. There is today in tn,
world no organization or institution
with the prestige of the Catholi
Church. The man who is afraid to b.
known as Catholic is counting tn
very odium that he breads.
