Just as We Have Said

The Menace has told you time and
again that the converts and nunneries
OF the Roman Catholic church are
nothing more nor less than prison
houses. and that when a young lady
enters one OF those places she Is dead
to the world and her identity is lost
forever.
In the heat OF argument the Roman
lists viii deny this charge and cry, as
usual. that The Menace Is a liar. bu,
here is an admission Of the fact from
their own lips
The Philadelphia Press OF Nov. 20
related the escape Of three girls from
the House OF the Good Shepherd In
that city, mention OF which was made
In The Menace last week. and from
the Press report OF the escape We take
the following paragraph:

Rome Receives An
other Setbackin Court

The Roman Catholic priest at Mar.
engo. Ill. on February 10, 1910,
brought an action in the circuit court
OF McHenry county. Illinois, asking
for an injunction against the board
Of education OF Marengo. to prohibit
the reading OF the Bible or Offering
Of prayer in the public schools Of
Marengo. In which IL was charged
by certain OF his parishioners that the
board Disseminated against Roman
Catholic teachers. and Obliged Roman
Catholic pupils TO listen TO the read
ing OF the Bible and a repetition OF
prayers during opening exercises.
The petition asked: THAT a TEN.
porary injunction may be issued
herein" restraining said board OF ed
ucation and each member thereof
from commanding, directing. COMPEL
ing. or authorizing said superintend'
ents OF said schools and said teachers
or any Of them 20 read from the Pro
testant or any other Bible, or an
other religious literature, or the say

petitioners. Mabel Milan and Gler
Milan, or any other pupils OF Cath
olic faith, against their wishes In
school hours, as a portion OF the ex
ercises OF instruction OF said public
school during any portion Of the said
days devoted TO school work"
The petition was TO prevent the
reading not only OF the Protestant
version OF the Bible, but every yer
sion-Cathollc or Protestant or "an,
other Bible" to use the exact words
OF the complaint in the case.
This shows how Rome fears th'
truth that makes men free from he
falsehoods, and seeks to close tn
book that contains II from every one
whether in the version used by tn
Protestants OF the so-called Romal
Catholic versions.
This also shows how her stronges
allies are those, who having lost al
faith through her falsehoods. and be

the Bible, us she does, aud so ARA,
