Each morning a. we slowly pass
The city's streets along,
We hear the voices Of the class
Ring out the nations song.
With swelling hearts we hear them sing
my country tits Of Thee;"
From childish throats the anthems ring
"Sweet land Of hbertyi"
Their little hearts aglow with pride,
Each little exultant tongue
Proclaims, "From every mountain side,
Lot Freedoms song be sungl"
And we shall e'er be strong,
From scenes like these, our grandeur
springs,
While o 'er the land the school bell rings
Each day with Freedom s song.

Of June, 1914:
Catholics boast Of the large number
Of their denomination in the United

the larger number Of those who have
left the Catholic church and joined other
denominations.
Men who have made a speciality Of

the average cost year for educating

The CLARK Combination of Books

! Something over twenty-five
years ago a venerable Presbyterian
minister was mobbed and nearly
killed at Macomb, Illinois, by a
pack of Roman Catholic hoodlums.
At that time William Lloyd Clark,
a typical young American, was
publishing a newspaper, Opinion,
at Quincy, a neighboring city.
Purely as a matter of news
young Clark gave publicity TO the
incident by means OF his paper,
The article ia regard TO the mob
bing merely stated the facts,
without coloring favorable or un-
favorable 10 the Roman Catholic
church. II was only plain
statement of how a mob of several
hundred Roman Catholic rufiians
assaulted and tried to take the
life of an aged, white haired
patriot. .... 49,
Because Clark would not 60
down on his knees and repudiate
the facts he had printed, the
priests of Quincy organized boy
colt against his paper and bust
ness that was destructive, and
left the young editor without a
business and penniless. Rome was
the winner in that first battle I;
but for the victor the victory
was more expensive than a defeat.
The mobbing and the boycott
aroused young lion who then
and there consecrated his life to
war upon the greatest menace 20
American institutions.
For a quarter of a century
William Lloyd Clark has labored
increasingly to expose the cloven
hoof of the murderous boycotters.
He has fearlessly invaded the
citadels of Rome end thrown
down the gauntlet from a thou
sand platforms. He has been
mobbed and asssiled so often as
to lose count of the incidents.
Today he is a battle-scarred
veteran, still in the field, hurting
defiance at Rome while carrying
the message of Paul Revere to a
sleeping people. -..s
In connection with his platform
work Mr.. Clark has printed
numerous books of inestimabIe
value to the anti-Romanist. move
ment. Many of you are familiar
with some or all Of them. You
may have one or more of them
but we are asking as a recogni-
ton of our friend and fellow
worker, of the sacrifices he has
made in the great cause, and as a
means of promoting the work,

Philadelphia, June 26, 1914.
Editor The Menace:
l must give you credit for one thing
you are accomplishing and one you
would hardly suspect as II is so far
away from your office. You have. on
account OF the close attention you have
been focusing on immoral priests, made
very noticeable change on the num-
ber OF them seen on the Atlantic City
board walk this year. They are very
scarce as yet, where other years they
have been there by the hundreds and
the great part Of them accompanied
by young boys between the ages Of
thirteen and sixteen whose mothers
think II is quite an honor for Willie
TO be taken to the shore by Father"
SO and SO, but whose father would like
TO object except for stirring up family
quarrels. and calmly submits knowing
what Willie is going up against, but
trusting In the boys inherent manhood
TO pull him through.
II may be that this scare Of publici-
~ will wear off as the season at the
shore progresses and that they will
venture out in all their glory in July
and August. II they do you shouldn't
fail to have a representative there for
few weeks.
I hate to see this thing going on as
they take the most innocent boys they
can find and through their supposed
high standing the boys trust them
implicitly and learn things and develop
traits that would remain unknown to
them through their association with
other boys and men. II their attentions
were confined TO boys of their own
church Il would not be so bad, but
they prefer outside boys and make use
Of the boy choirs to bring together
the choicest so they can take their
pick. They come TO Atlantic City
mostly from Pittsburg. Baltimore and
Washington. While Philadelphia and
the smaller nearby cities are all well
represented. This matter is deserving
Of your attention as Il is undermining
the manhood Of many American boys.
