AESOLUTIONS vigorously "pro-
AV testing the efforts of the Ro-
RHN man Catholic hierarchy to
gain control of our govern
ment and thereby be in a po-
sition to fasten either it's faith or it's
fallacies upon the conscience of a
free and sovereign people," and
"deeply deploring the presence of a
papal legate as a representative of
the vatican at our national capital
for the purpose Of influencing gov
ernmental affairs" were passed
amid applause by the Southern Bap-
fist convention at the closing session,
Monday morning, at the Ryman audi
tOrium.
The resolutions, which were in
troduced by Rev. J. w. Porter, a
prominent minister of Louisville,
further protests against the SEN
fencing of any person by any judge
to serve in any religious institution"
and Earnestly protested against the
presence of our national representa-
tives in their official capacity at
ecclesiastical functions and the mani
fest disposition on the part of some
of our politicians to show preference
to sO-called church dignitaries.
The resolutions we're debated, pro
and con, by delegates from all Sec
tons of the South, some questioning
the wisdom Of passing such strong
resolutions, but when the final vote
came, not a delegate cast his vote
against it.
Concerning the so-called "sentenc-
ing of persons to Catholic institu-
tions," DR.. W. L. Pickard, of Geor-
gia, declared that it occurred every
day, and he spoke for the resolution
as putting the almost three mil
lion white Baptists of the South
squarely on record as favoring the
separation of Church and State"
Concerning Delinquent Girls.
H. F. Vermillion, delegate from
Las Cruces, N. NJ, declared that he
had been informed by local people
that the only institution for the care
Of delinquent girls in Tennessee is
the Home of the Good Shepherd, a
Catholic institution of Memphis. He
declared that Catholic judges all
over the United States have been in
the habit Of offering to quash indict-
ments of delinquent girls only in
case they promise to serve terms of
from one to three years in Catholic
converts and schools, where they are
forcibly detained He was applauded.
