When Maria Monk wrote her
book and told about the tunnels
connecting the nunueries and
priest houses in Montreal, the
"holy dads" howled themselves
hoarse, and they are still trying
to undermine her story, but there
is daily paper that states az
plainly az anything could that
they really do have tunnels.
Why do the "holy fathers"
have "holy" tunnels through

And how did the managing edi-

HE COMES BY 1T HONESTLY.
Elder Chas. H. Spurgeon, the
great Baptist minister of London,
England, was a man of plain
speech and intense feeling. Our
Osis L. Spurgeon seems to have in
herited some of the vigor of his
namesake as the following words
spoken by Mr.. Spurgeon in his
Exeter Hall lecture on November,
1851, on the "Mystery of Iniqui-
ty," the papal church, show.
Had he spoken in Denver he would
have met the fate of OTIS L. who
is healthy sprout of the old
stock of martyrs. Hear what the
Senior Spurgeon has to say of the
papacy:
"Let me not recount the his
tory of the backsliding church,
for ye have heard if often enough,
and ones heart 10 siokened 10 teM
it DER again. You know that, at
last, with centuries of cunning
'the mystery of iniquity' had
swollen into the most masterly
and colossal counterfeit which
tune has eyer seen: anti-Christ
was developed. Instead of Christ,
satan brought forth 'our Lord God
the pope;' instead of the apostles,
cardinals walked forth in their
pompous garments; instead of
humble pastors who ruled their
churches IN she fear of God, proud
mitred prelates held the golden
beieweled croziers; instead of for
giveness of sins, there was absolu-
ton from the priest; instead of
the sacrifice of Christ, there was
the unbloody sacrifice of the mass.
For the gospel, there was supersti-
tion; for the work of the Spirit, the
lying wonders of relics; for regen
Grafton. baptism; for communion,
wafer; for holiness, vestments ;
for truth, riches and pomp. The
wisdom of OhrisS was concealed
beneath the folly of man. The
deceiver took away the bread, but
gave a stone 80 like it that the
hungry world received the treach-
erous gift. Was not the cloth
richly adorned? Who would sus-
poet that it covered the cheats
hooking imitation of the chill
dren's bread? The great fou under
of Rome's heresy took away the
living egg of life and immortality,
and gave the world the deadly
scorpion of soul-destroying
superstition. A more frightful
counterfeit than this the com bin
ed talent of all the fends of hell
has failed to invent. This re-
mains, DEOEPrION'S master-
piece, first-born of hell, the ex-
press image of the prince of dark
ness. Others have followed limp
ing in it's train, but this still
stands first.born among many
brethren, and among all hypocri-
sizes it hath the pre.eminen,e.'
THE MENACE.
The Menace ls doing the nation
she greatest possible service in the
greatest bottle for principles that
has ever confronted mankind. 1t
is a question of truth and righte-
ousness versus error, superstition
and deception. On the result of
this battle depends the salty of
of our republic, ohurchas and
homes, aud. whsther you believe
the assertion or not, the situation
demands the honest and Intelligent
consideration of every one. If
she statements made 10 the Meu-
ace are false and contrary to his
tory Prote,tants ought to know
