Dear Sir: 1t is with much regret
that [ read of your case being
thrown out of court [ was very
much in hopes that it would stick,
and take it's course through the
courts. I would have given $1,000
to have read the evidence which you
would have brought out Of those I'M
circumcised eunuchs and their books.
[ would have given $1,000 more to
have read your speech before the
jury. I had $1,000 on hand, and
think [ know where I could have
borrowed the rest. You may IN
crease your subscription list for
forty years, and wear out two print
ing presses fighting the Devils, and
you will never be able to reach the
results that would have been
reached through the trial. I am
awful, awful sorry, that your cause
met with the misfortune [ have
been lying up for seven months with
two legs and an arm broken, and
have had no chance to help you to
fight; but the prospects are now,
that [ will be able to help some soon.
May God spare you from their next
effort (Which I fear will not be the
court) is my sincere prayer.

As you know Roman Catholicism
acknowledges the pope as it's head,
and the pope claims the right to con-
troll all governments; being, as he
claims, the infallible representative
Of God on earth, and the true head
OF the church.
] am sure that you do not believe,

Roman Catholicism is on an equal

You know that it is a very danger
Gus thing for the pope to have a flag
flying above our army-that it is
certainly contrary to Americanism.
No other religious denomination
has requested such a thing Why?
Because they are simply religious
denominations, claiming no right to
control any civil power.
The pope is a foreign ruler, and
his flag represents a foreign power,
and an unfriendly power, at that,
for Americanism represents the very
principles that Romanism fights.
