SERMONS ON ROMAN|SM
THE GREATEST SUBJECT BE-
FORE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

FUkE lHE AMERlCAN PEOPLE.
Or. Thomas, Of the Baptist Church, will
Give the Public Some Needed Information.
Rev. O. A. g. Thomas, D. D.
the beloved pastor of the First
Baptist Church of this city, who
will celebrate his third anniverss-
ry with the Salisbury church on
the first Sunday in December, has
arranged to deliver q series of
twelve sermons on the subject of
Romanism. The Doctor is we'll
prepared to discuss this matter
and expects to deal only in facta
of history and quotations from
Romish theology. He will not
offend any ones tastes or feelings
and will handle the subject in g.
gentlemanly and scholarly man
ner. Every one should make it q
point to hear as many of these
sermons as possible, for it is be-
lieved they will be of great benefit
to Christians Of all denominations
and others and is information
much needed. The dates for the
sermons will be made known later.
In speaking of the subject in Bap-
tist Bits, DR.. Thomas says: t,
The greatest question before the
American people is Romanism.
Our people are not we'll informed
on these great questions which
have marked the progress of the
Papal Church. We expect to dis
ouss it's history, doctrines, some
of its institutions, and it's designs
on the Republic. These sermons
will be designed to lead men to
the true New Testament doctrines
of Salvation. No Catholic will
find these sermons harsh or de-
nunciatory, but they are to help
men to know the truth and be
free. In another column will be-
found the subjects, (subject to
chsnge) of these sermons. Every
American citizen should arrange
to hear these sermons. They will
deal with historical facts, and will
be helpful to all the people. The
preacher will strive to keep only
to the facts 40 revealed in history,
and shall strive only to bring ont
the truth, and only the truth
about Rome.
The subjects for discussion are
as follows:
1. The Rise of Romanism: Ia
it of God or man?
2. The Doctrines of Roman-
ism: Are they God given or man
made?
8. The Attitude of Romanism
to the Home: Is it helpful or
4. The Attitude of Romanlsm
to the Public School Is it divine
or devilish?
s. The Attitude of Romanism
to the State Is it constructive
or destructive?
6. The Attitude of Romanism
to Liberty: Does it make slaves
or freemen7
Z. The Attitude of Romanism
to Our Country: Is it seeking to
rule or ruin our Republic?
8. Romanism and the Scarlet
Woman: Are they one and the
same power?
9. Romanism and the Confess
sional: Is it degrading or elevat-
ing to womanhood?

tive force of Romsnism.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Whether or not one believes in the government ownership of rail roads, and more and more are be- coming converted to the idea. there would seem on reason why Uncle Sam should not have as favorable rates as the express companies.
 The following from the Kansas City Stars correspondence column would seem to furnish food for thought:
 President Wilson said in Worlds Work, The masters of the govern ment of the United States are the combined capitalists and manufac- turers.' But he has no remedy; there is no remedy but the collec- tive ownership of the big interests. If the postoflice is a blessing to all the people. and it is. it is because all the people own it. The fact that it doesn't pay is because the railroads are paid annually more than 95 million dollars for handling the mail at nine cents pound. They perform the same service for the express companies for One-half cent a pound. Let's have a government ownership of railroads.
