colonizing the South and West,
while our people sleep and rest easy.
The organization of this mighty
force to meet Romanism is the vital
thing just now. To do this there
must be education, the circulation
OF literature, lectures, sermons, until
the whole land is reused to action.
3. Our Professionalism is indeed
organized, each denomination on it's
own plan, with little or no provision
for cooperation with other like or
CARNATIONS while Romanism is a
solid unit nationally. Then too our
religious life among Protestants has
been sectionalized, each denomina-
ton having a Northern and South
ern division, with but little cooper
alton, while, as we said, Rome is a
national unit with one plan for the
entire country. We agree, indeed,
about the necessity of meeting
Rome, but no one denomination is
able to meet her, and right here lies
our weakness. More than this.
Rome is political machine and into
politics up to her neck, while our
various Protestant organizations are
non-political and have no plans at
all for meeting Rome's political
schemes. To meet this condition we
need organization of all anti-Roman-
1st forces to counteract Rome politi-
cally. 1t is a necessity. We must
take the position: No votes or office
for Romanists. We must save our
country from men who are under
oaths and obligations of political
allegiance to pOpery. This and this
alone will defeat Romanism; never
vote for a ROmanist for any office.
because he is under a political obli-
cation to the Pope, who is an enemy
to this and all other republics. We
can not afford to entrust our govern
ment to it's enemies.
4. A very gratifying condition we
notice is the growth of interest ev-
eryWhere. The people are discover
ing the truth and awakening to it's
realization, but as yet we have but
touched the border; it is the few and
not the mass who are seeking infor-
nation and ready to act. During
our trip in Georgia, we had the
pleasure of witnessing six local or
CARNATIONS and others will follow.

locally and democratically, each To-
cal league electing it's own officers
and controlling it's own affairs abso-
lutly, and agreeing to cooperate
with other like organizations every
where. This will result in State and
National organization by representa-
tives from local leagues This work
should be pressed with determina-
ton. We had invitations from diff
ferent States to visit and lecture on
the subject and could we leave our
office We could fill our time abso-
lutely for months. When we turned
homeWard we were pressed to visit
other points and the interest is fine.
Just here we want to say that this
is necessary work, and the expense
heavy. We travelled about 5000
miles and paiu our own way, besides
paying an office editor. This ex-
pense must be provided for, and or
ganizatiOn is necessary to do this.
Rome is thoroughly organized. Her
100000 Knights of Columbus are
raising funds for the purpose and
sending priests and scattering Literal
ture everywhere. We must meet
them or our country will be ruined.

to us to organize and meet the issue

and organize at once
