Some person has said that the

1t is also true that life without
liberty may become an intol era BILE
burden.
The Pilgrim Fathers landed on
the Atlantic coast in search of
liberty: blood was shed. hard =
ships endured and lives given to
secure liberty. Men and women
have written, spoken and labored
in defense Of liberty.

in any other cause, and it is a
notorious fact that the Roman
Catholic church has taken by far
the heaviest toll. She has writ.

liberty in the blood of men, wo.

and that hatred still exists.
Rome is Just as arrogant in her
assaults upon human liberty as
she was in the days of the Inqu'-

The murder of VIM. Black can
be recognised as nothing but the
spirit of the lnquisition in action.
Rome has not changed. She may
be subdued, but the fire of her
fury burns in latent patience,
waiting for new opportunities and
new victims.
But murderous attacks upon
human beings are not all of
Roms's campaign against liberty.
Her minions. her hirelings. her

The Roman Catholic boycott is
in effective operation all the time,
somewhere and in some manner,
1t may rot always be visible; it
may not always be active in any
one locality. but is recognized and
used whenever occasion arises and
conditions demand that an OBJ
stacle be removed from the papal
path to power.
Liberty must be destroyed if
Rome is to rule, for there is no
freedom in the blind obedience
which the pope demands from
children of the Zone true church" I"
Papal domination in any coun-
try, or in any community, has
never resulted i'll the promotion
of peace nor the establishment or
perpetuation of freedom, the kind

the kind of freedom that men will
