ate. Spain however, is opening her
eyes, and battling against Rome for
freedom. Spaniards however are
still bigoted, and though naughty
race, and proud of their country, did
not hesitate in the heroic fight of
Premier Canaleias to break the fet-
ters of Rome, to cry out in their
opposition, Down with Spain! (not
foreigners, but Spaniards saying it,,
Long live the Pope!" and the rabble
led by Priests. Yet Mr.. Windle
failed to see any difference in Pro
testants and Catholics ruling
country. 1t may however be con
tended that racial superiority, and
not Romanism has caused the Anglo
Saxon to forge ahead Of the Latin
races. The condition of Ireland
peopled by one race will answer
this.
In the north OF Ireland, the land
is broken, rugged and barren. In
the south of Ireland we find on the
other hand a beautiful country, IA
vorable soil conditions, and equable
climate. How about the people?
The people of the north of Ireland
contented and prosperous, whilst in
the south Of ireland the people I'M
der favorable conditions are discon-
tented and poverty stricken. The
same race but different results. The
difference between Romanism and
Professionalism is clearly set forth
here. The inhabitants of the north
Of Ireland are Professionals, worship
ping God in Spirit and in truth,
therefore happy and prosperous. The
people of the south of Ireland are
Catholics and crushed by the rule
of Rome. Having observed the effect
OF Professionalism and Catholicism
upon the nations advancing the one
and retarding the other, let us see
what effect true worship and false
have upon the individual Attend a
gathering of Catholics and note the
class of ignorant people, note the
suspicious and silent attitude of
those who yield submission to Rome.
Now observe the general appearance
of a gathering of PrOtestants, bright,
intelligent, frank and friendly. This
contrast holds good down to the in
dividual Take two men of equal
intelligence, the one a Protestant
and the other Catholic, and let an
Infdel abuse first one, and then the
other, and note the effect The
Protestant will listen attentively to
all that is said, and will then argue
the differences of opinion, and will
seek to enlighten the disputant, and
may quote scripture or even show
scriptural verses to overpower the
argument of his opponent. Now see
how the Catholic takes it. He will
not attempt to argue, but will rant
and fume, and if his opponent con-
tinues, will invariably threaten vio-
lence to close the attack. Why?
One has the Word Of God to sustain
him, which 'is sharper than any two
edged sword,'' while the Catholic
has nothing to support his views,
simply one mans intelligence pitted
against another. Let us go still fur
Their and we find that even in the
sports and games of Protestant and
Catholic nations a vast difference.
In England cricket, and in the Uni
ted States baseball are the leading
sports, both humane and harmless.
In Spain, and South America where
Catholicism prevails, we find the
brutal and bloody bull fight, called
fight but in reality massacre, to
please a pagan assemblage, a game
where a man armed to the teeth
combats a defenceless animal To
mitigate the crime the meat of the
