CATHOLIC ESTIMATE OF VIRTUE.

From The Western watchman.
Money is the equivalent OF all val

men can be computed in dollars and
cents. Money can buy everything;

vas established BY Christ: Peter was
the first pope and all the forms and
dogmas are Of divine oriEin. The world
IL taught that this system Il 90 per.
feet Il has not undergone any change
for centuries: the work Of the church
Is held up before the eyes OF men a.
the work Of God and the claim IL au.
daclously made that there IL saliva.
tion In no other church or plan. And
as Rome has always advocated the
union OF church and state these vo-

possesses just what we need.

ings aud practices OF that system a.
they are found IN the world today. II
these teachings and practices contain
the elements essential 10 individual
and national welfare, then We must,
for our own good accept Catholicism;
but on the other hand, II we hnd Rome

Out Of Hell by Lottery


In chihuahua. Mexico, the Roman
Catholic padres hold what they term,
a Holy Rattle for Souls" Drawings
take place monthly or semi.monthly:
sometimes weekly. Tickets are sold
by the padres for one dollar a ticket.
These tickets are purchased on behalf
OF the soul OF some deceased relative
or friend In whom the party purchasing
the ticket Is interested.
These souls being In purgatory, II 10
the desire OF all good Roman Catholics
10 have them released at the earliest
moment. The drawing Is made in the
usual way OF all lottsries-so many
prizes and so many blanks. The soul
Of the person whose name Is drawn
with the prize number is released from
purgatory at once.
The names drawing prizes are posted
on the church doors together with q
notice OF the next drawing stating
that the tickets are on sale by the
padres for one dollar and advising all
good Roman Catholics 10 purchase.
thereby saving their dead relatives
much agony and suffering.
The people thoroughly behave this
10 be actually possible. taking Il as q
great favor that they should have the
opportunity TO receive so much benset
/ for so little money.
Below is a copy OF the notice posted
ON the church door:
"........, who has been suffering
the torments OF the damned In pur.
gatory for ........ years. has been
released; his or her ticket number be-
ing the first prize number drawn"
Then follow the names OF the three
other parties who drew prizes and
whose souls were likewise released
from purgatory.
This statment Is made BY an eye
witness.
The above ought TO be suficlent 10
cause all Protestants to fall on their
knees aud accept Catholicism. but In
order 10 make their side OF the case
as strong as possible. We close with
the following description OF one OF
their highly elevating and never.faIl
character building ceremonies"
After reading the above and this one
10 follow, we have no doubt but every
Menace reader win be ready to agree
with Foley. Glennon & Co., that the
Catholic religion is Just what this
country needs.
In the name OF common reason what
can be said Of a system in which such
mock-plety. deception. fanaticIsm, su.
rstition. pagan Journalism, blasphemy
and sacrilegious hypocrisy are found
but read about
"The New Mexico Penitentes"
That such a lameutable state OF tx.
norance and Superstition could exist
In the United States In this twentieth
century Is hardly credible; yet the fol.
lowing story can be easily verified BY
anyone disposed to investigate the
matter.
In Lincoln and other counties "a a
society Of devout Catholics known as
"Penitentes" who once each year en-.
gage in a three-days' orgy Of blood and
self-innicted torture In which all the
snperstitious performances OF heather

adequate to form a portrayal Of this
carnival OF exquisite pain. where su.
perstition runs riot and besotted ig-
norance holds unbridled sway over
minds that have been inoculated with
the ossifying virus Of the hydra-headed
monster that sits on the historic banks

Brooklin, Me --"A few years ago my
hands were very badly afflicted with salt
rheum At first there was an eruption OF
small water pimples on the inside of the
fingers, and by not paying any attention TO
the humor my hands gradually became
worse and began to itch and burn and ono
after another cracks appeared around the
nails on the inside of the fingers and on the
bend of the joints until l was discouraged.
as they were very painful and sore. l had
to omit work that required putting my
hands in water and could hardly work at
all on account of the bleeding cracks.
al finally procured some Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. and found by washing my
hands in quite warm water and Cuticura
Soap that they were improving. l began
wrapping my fingers nightly in pieces OF
soft linen. after good application of Cuti-
clIra Ointment which was very soothing.
In month my hands were completely cured
and / have never been afflicted with the
trouble since" (signed) Mrs. G. L. Parker.
