the intense piety and devotion mani
tested by the children in their frequent

The Holy Father listened to my ac-
count with eager attention. A sweet
smile played upon his lips, as l handed
him pouch made by the wife of q
Chippewa Indian chief, and great was
his joy when told him that the pouch
contained a gift of affection by my

love and obedience to Christ and His
Vicar, and that with the Peters Pence

The. Holy Father received me with
that love and paternal kindness. that

enhanced by virtue and holiness.
Therefore, God had turned all good
hearts to the Holy Father, Plus x, in
a much higher measure than ever be-
fore to any other Pope. When spoke
to him of the poverty existing in the
Diocese of Superior, he consoled me,

ifies the beast with the Roman EN-
perors, and especially with Nero, the
cruel and blasphemous prosecutor of
the Church.
l. Why are ministers in Minneapolis
and elsewhere allowed to say the
terrible things they say about Catho-
lies? 2. Why are people allowed to
circulate the bogus X. c. oath and
say it is genuine?
l. If the ministers you refer to make
those charges in church, then their
abuse of their position is the business
of the denomination that allows it's
church to be abused in this way. If
they are made in place open to the
general public question is raised
which was fully discussed in The Cath
olic Bulletin, August 20. Suffice it to
say here that if Catholics in general
supported the Catholic press more
Loyalty, and read their Catholic pa
pers more carefully, they would be
ready to answer the slanderers. It
is a good plan especially to preserve
records of trials of persons who made
definite allegations against Catholic
organizations or individuals. This
course would put it in the power of
parties themselves to answer many
questions that constantly come to this
Office 2. If you meet any definite
instance of the publication of the
bogus K. G. oath, bring the matter
under the notice of any knight of Co
lumbus you happen to know: lie will
know how to deal with it.

Does it add to the drinkers pros

Does it help the unemployed in Sc
curing a position?
Does it improve the health?
Does it add to the happiness of the

Does it give dependent ones the

Every fair-minded man will say, ''IT
DOES NOT"

Why not take the Gatlin Treatment
