Otis l.. Spurgeon delivered
series of lectures in che Carneig'
Music Hall (Oakland) Pittsburg
Pa. during the week of June p
to July 5.
1t was the good fortune of you
correspondent to be present q
two of the lectures, and the i'm
portance of the series together
with the plan under which they
were held convinces me that ar
account of them should be pub
lished in The MENACE for the be-
ne6t of patriots in other cities.
The lectures were held under
the auspices of the American
Patriotic Joint lecture Com
mittee." This committee COM
posed of representatives from the
Loyal Orange Lodge, the Knight
of Luther, Knights Of Malta, True
Americans, Indians F. L, Jr. o.
u. A. M. and Ladies' Loyal
Orange Assooia sion, these seven
patriotic fraternities have associa.
ed together for the purpose Of
'ducating the people in matters
patriotic. It is most COM
neadabls plan and should be
nulated by the fraternities in
'ther cities Since these orders
AVE federated they have really
transformed the city of Pitts burg
md the county in shs matter of
civil government.
For years Rome has been com.
pletely dominating Greater Pitts
burg because Rome worked as .
unit, but in the campaign lsss
tall these sooietiee banded togeth-
-er, endorsed. certain candidates,
nominated Others and the result
of the election was that but o'.e
lonesome Roman Catholic was
elected to Office in the entire
county. The city government
and state representatives are all
true Americans. and Rome ig SIT
ting away back in the bleacheIs.
This joint lecture committee is
composed of 81 members who con.
stitute an executive committee
and reports are made to the vari.
GUS orders at stated times; the re.
suit is that practically every loyal
American knows what is going on
and is working in harmony with
every other patriot in this great
modern reformation. They not
OILY provide isosures, but also
conduct a patriotic paper, The
Keystone American which is pub
llshed weekly and goes into the
homes of every member of these
patriotic socities and is gaming a
national circulation.
The Pittsburg plan should be
emulated by Protestants in every
city in the union.
In the closer union of Protestan.
tism is the hope of liberty.
The lectures we're held in one
of the finest auditoriums in the
nation; the audiences were ex-
cellent every night. The Themes
weee: IA Patriotic Speakers s
Experience" "Catholic Priest-
hood and White Slavery" "Cath-
olism and Women" (women only);
"TLe Coming Confiot;" Roman
Cstholism Un-Amsrlcan" and
"The Scarlet Woman and the
Beast"
Spurgeon has recovered from
his injuries received at the banda
of the "Nlts of Columbus" at
Denver, and with the added ex.
periences of that ordeal he waded
into th7 greatest of modern men.
aces. 1t was one ovation after
another from the time he appear
ed on the platform to the end ot
the program.
Under the patriotic city govern
meat, the police protection was
superb; blue coats were on every
hand-ar.d they were ''Nits Of
Columbus" either. There was nc
disorder and time only can tel
the good accomplished.
If any of our good, but fearful
American people think this coun
try is past redemption, they
should acquaint themselves will
conditions in Pittsburg.
