"Here in Central America We sec the

what II is, not what Il appears 20 be
while wearing the falie cloak OF piety
in order TO ingratiato itself among the

is the same at heart the world over. It

following article written by mission

writers speak from experience as
missionaries in that country where
Roman Catholicism holds sway over

"The influence os the Roman Cath
olic church in Central America produces
the same kind Of results as the heathen
religions Of India or Chira. The eondi.
tion Of these poor delu6ed people under

pitiful indeed and beyond words TO de-
