ATTENTION RAPTISTS.

The month of February will begin
a campaign for raising 100000
to build a great Baptist hospital for
the purpose of helping the sick and
needy in their cry for help. Every
member Of our denomination in
Georgia, is asked to contribute
through his or her church, whatever
sum they are able to give, whether
it be large or small. The object is
to have place where those that are
not able to pay for an operation or
to be cared for in sickness, can go
and be cared for, at small or no cost
at all. 1t is therefore an opportu-
nifty for every Baptist to play the
part Of THE Good Samaritan" by
providing place where the sick can
be cared for
Ask your pastor about the hos
pital. Write to J. S. McLemore,
1909 Gambler building, Atlanta, Ga,
for information. Send any cash or
subscriptions to DR.. J. J. Bennett,
1909 Gambler building, Atlanta, Ga.
If all do their part, we will have the
500, 100000, given in cash and sub
scriptions in the month of February.
1t will be a great victory for the
cause of Christ. May we not count
on every Baptist to do his duty?
May the suffering have your help
and may you have His blessings.
We come in His name,
J. S. McLEMORE,

that I was communicated, and that
the statements and charges against
priests, prelates and popes, in
my books, 'Romanism a Menace to

not?' which none, so far as we are
informed, has yet attempted, much
less accomplished.
Is it not significant, too, that in
practically every case in which
priest severed his connection with
the ROmish Church he has a tale of
terror or horror to relate which is
met only by persecution and personal
abuse? We believe that ecelesiasti-
cal dominance of our political inst
buttons is the question of the day,
the hour, yes, of the minute, and the
more or less successful efforts of this
numerically strong church to muzzle
the press, suppress free speech and
assault public speakers, is proof
plenty that this is a vital question
and that it demands a full fair and
free discussion in every congress of

THE ANTI-ROMTSH DENfONSTRA-
TION AT DAVENPORT.

(After the first address of J. J.
Crowley at DaVepOrt, the Democrat
or that city gave q fair and reasona-
bly, full report of what he had said.
Against this, against Crowley and
against the congress a certain local
priest made protest in the public
prints A statement was framed to
be read to the congress at it's closing
session and presented for endorse
ment. This resolution was met with
tremendous applause and unanimous
ly adopted. OuE~readers will be in
terested in it's contents, so we submit
it along with other congress echoes.
-Ed.)
Il Statement.
In reply to the complaint publicly
made by some that the Efficiency
Congress now closing placed certain
speakers like Jeremiah J. Crowley on
the platform, We have this to say:
A number Of the speakers took part,
reviewing the the efficiency and in
efficiency of the Christian world.
The Greek Church was reviewed by
Louis R. Patmont, who was identi-
fed with this church for number
Of years. The Protestant churches
were reviewed by P. Y. Pendleton,
and the Roman Church by jeremiah
j. Crowley, at present an honored
citizen Of Cincinnati and a member
Of the Presbyterian Church, who
came to us endorsed by J. Wilbur
Chapman; Bishop Burt; Robert Nc
Intyre; the New York Independent;
the New Age, a Masonic magazine;
the Herald and Presbyter, the lead
ing Presbyterian paper of America.
1t should be clear to any one that
no unusual Or unfair treatment was
given to the Roman Catholic Church.
1t was discussed as were the other
parts of the so-called Universal
Church of Christ" and if it's treat
ment seemed harsher it was due to
personality of the speaker and the
nature of his theme.
This condemnation evidently ema-
mated from the hierarchy that has
been recognized for centuries as
synonymous with idolatry, intoler-
ance and misery, the influence of
which is abundantly illustrated by
the conditions of every nation where
catholicism either is or has been the
supreme religion of the nation.
Whether the statements made by
Mr.. Crowley are true or false, it is
significant that he makes a public
challenge as follows: 81 will give

Catholic hired-girHs will always vote
as the priests tell them. The Catho-
lie priests Of Denver now hold in
their hands the balance of political
power in the city, and under ordi-
nary circumstances will control the
future politics of Colorado. At pres
ent the Catholic hierarchy is .Repub-
lican; some years ago it was Demo-
cratic. It's politics will always sit
loosely-last and all the time-in
matters not only of religion, but Of
the State, it will be for the Catho-
lie church. In the nature of things,
the Peoples Party can hope for moth
ing from the Catholic hierarchy Our
party is the party of progress, of edu-
cation, a party to obtain, secure and
defend the rights of the people.
When and where, in all the ages, has
any party of that kind ever existed,
that it did not meet with the most
bitter opposition of the Catholic
church?

NOT MATTER FOR THE PUBLIC
oaruso Considers Remarks About Con-
, dltlon of His Throat Hurt His
Reputation.

80 much money has come to the
great tenor Caruso. from the bird
Ike quality Of his throat. that some
loneliness about remarks made about
that organ might not perhaps be won
dered at. Many are the tussles he
has had In courts of law regarding it.
One Of signor Caruso's latest law
suits Is with Prof. Della vedova Of
Milan, who in 1907 operated on him
for throat trouble and restored the
wonderful voice. The professor
claimed a fee of $4,000. which Ca
russo considered excessive. The singer
threatened litigation and Vedova re-
duced his fee to $4,000, which Caruso
paid.
Three years later when it was ru.
mored that Caruso's throat trouble
had returned Prof. Della Vedova ex-
planned In an interview published In
Milan paper particulars of the op-
Grafton he had performed.
Caruso was furious. He said that
the professor had no right to divulge
such particulars, which damaged the
tenor's reputation and led to the be-
lief that his voice was not perfect,
owing to a weak throat. Caruso in,
stituted proceedings against his doc
tor and claimed damages.
The case was decided In the pro-
fessor's favor. Then Caruso appealed
against the sentence and the case was
heard again before the Milan court of
appeals. In few weeks time the
court will give its decision.
1t is in fact rather serious Of.
Tense to pass remarks in any sense
derogatory to this valuable throat.

In Our Last Conflict With Britain.

One hundred years ago three Unit
ed States regiments marched from
Plattsburg, u. Y, for the North This
was but one of the movements pre-
lliminary to the beginning of the final
campaign along the Canadian border.
During the week several troopships ar.
rived at Quebec with hundreds of vet
eran soldiers who had fought under
Wellington In the Peninsular war. AS
rapidly as possible these reinforce
lments were hurried forward to the
frontier. At the same time british
squadron under Sir James Yeo was
cruising about Lake Ontario on the
lookout for a chance to strike a de.
cisive blow. In the vicinity of But.
falo, Generals Scott and Ripley of the
American army were gathering their
forces preparatory to crossing the Nj.
agara river for an attack on Fort
Erie.

concluded: Lawn tennis is bad

their sport may easily be imagined.
