THE .JEFFERSONIAN
''WHAT [ HAVE LEARNED OF
CATHOLICISM BY MY OWN
EXPERIENCE.'


reading The Jeffersonian quite often
and have learned a great deal from
it about Roman Catholicism, which
has wrecked and ruined many coun-
tries, and is trying to bring nations
under it's iron sceptre. l have been
to Italy, and know something about
the moral conditions of that country.
Catholics are considered charitable
people, and I have enjoyed fine en-
tertainments in some of their homes,
but at the same time they have
spread ignorance and immortality be-
yond description. They are so i'm
mersed in vice and sin that they
have almost become insensible to
their wretched and sinful condition.
They have kissed the old half
decayed toe of the pope so long that
they have lost all sense of respect,
chastity and reverence for woman
hood. Their converts are dens of
demons, where evil practices take
place. The only difference between
them and the heather is that one Is
baptized and the other is not. They
both are superstitious, illiterate,
ignorant, unchaste and idolatrous.
They both have been controlled by
monks and priests. They both have
girls devoted to the service in the
temples. How can such a nation be
blessing to other countries? What
good have they done to the dying
world? Their progress has kept back
light, civilization, education and
Christianity from millions of people.
, | would be foolish and cruel father
if [ allow my sons and daughters to
follow in steps of such teachers of
religion, who believe that Ignorance
is the mother of DEVOTION"
shall have an account to give
before the judgment bar of God for
the ignorance, vice and sin of my
children. We may not go to the
devil, but he will come to us. WHY
not, then, build such fences around
us which will, by the grace of God,
keep us safe from him? If the par
ents give their children books deal
ing with the dangers of today
your books dealing with facts on
this subject of Catholicism-it will
warn and protect them from those
dangers. Many people are ignorant
on this subject, and they are apt to
believe that there is no danger be-
cause the pope is very friendly and
in the time past has sent many pres
ents to the ex-President. Every
thing is all right. Fathers, brothers
and sisters are kind, and charity is
their very nature. The cat first plays
with the rat and then she has pos
session of him. The same is true of
this papaI religion. 1t Stays people
for truth and righteousness because
in it there is all falsehood and pre-
tense.
admire your courage and dignity
and hope you will have success in
this good work.

Owing to q lack of time it will be impossible to give a detailed description of the hap penings in Chandler last night, but a good article will appear in the morn ing paper.

Fraternat Brotherhood.

NIaricOpa Lodge No. 43. held very interesting business session on Decem- Der 18th during which three candidates were presented by Sister Ellen kal- caard. The candidates were Robert F. Wayne. Nels Kalgaard and Chas. .. Swenson were duly obligated according to the ritual and were duly accepted as full fledged members of 43. That's help ing out q great deal toward the 100 we are supposed to have by the first of the year.
 The escort team surely did some fine work in putting these new members through and was greatly appreciated for their efficiancy in their work. The work of the escort team has been the cause of a large attendance on these occasions and has been appreciated not only by the members but by the candi- dates themselves.
 Last evening was our closed night and a large choWd of course was there and as usual dancing was enjoyed after lodge. but when this went to press 1t was too late to make a report on the lodge work.
 Brother Geo. $. Adolph, lieutenant general Uniform Rank of the supreme lodge spent two pleasant days in the city and met and talked with a num- Der of the members at the Hotel Adams Wednesday evening. He is mak- ing a tour of the state for the supreme order.

ABOUT GETTING ANYWHERE"

Did you ever see trolley car. witn
its wheels whizzing around while the
car itself didn't move at all: THIS Is
what happens to a great many people
who appear to be very busy and VINO
apparently are moving at a great rate.
while actually they are not getting
anywhere at all. Many of us may
think we are very busy because we are
moving, but if we ask ourselves the
question. Are we getting anywhere:
or What are we really accomplish
ins?" in a great many cases we VIII
be surprised 10 see that all our mo-
tions are really getting us nowhere
and. like the wheels of the trolley car
we are using up much energy, which Is
the best kind of material in the world
and must not be wasted.
