HE ASKS SOME SEARCHING
QUESTIONS.

Dear Sir: Please find enclosed 95
cents for which please send to the
address given below the following
books of Mr.. WatGon's: ga History
Of Pagan Civilization" ''The Mas
sacre of st. Bartholomew" 'Popery:
In It's Relations to Civil and Re-
ligious Liberty;' 'Thc Horrible
Vices and Crimes of Converts and
MOnasteries.
I have read the other books on
Romanism which I obtained from you
recently, and they have been a reve-
lation in more ways than one. I wish
that every man, woman end child in
this great country could have these
books placed in their hands, Catholics
and all, for [ cannot believe that the
great majority of that faith, who
who have been reared under the ban
ner of freedom, realize the truth of
what this vast 'system'' stands for
By the way. You have told us
how much Rome taxes other Cath
Ollie countries for being allowed to
exist. 1t would be interesting to
know just about how much we citi-
zens of the great United States Of
America are paying into the Golfers
of Rome for our privilege of doing
business; so the first time that you
have nothing better to do, please let
us know just where we would be
most likely to be able to get line on
this item, as you know the majority
of American citizens have been so
wrapped up in the dollar that we
have we'll nigh lost sight of the fact
that there could be anything else in
the world but profit and loss, there
fore it might be possible to get the
facts before those who would not
otherwise become interested.
Another question that I have been
puZzling over since l woke up: eff
the Fourth Commandment directs US
to observe the Sabbath day end keep
it holy, how is it that we, as Prot
estants, insist upon observing and
keeping sacred a day that is purely
Pagan and has it's origin in the rites
of the East?"
Romanists today declare that ''the
observance Of Sunday by the Prot
estants is an homage they Ply in
spite of themselves, to the authority
of the (Catholic) Church" Ct quote
from page 448 Of Mrs. E. G. Whites
book, 'The Great Controversy Be-
tween Christ and Sata-," published
in 1888 by The Pacific Press Co., of
Oakland, CALI
Now l en- neither Jew or Advent
list, but this author certainly has
ample ground for her argument, for,
as she states, "the Scriptures are ab-
solutely silent as regards any change
from the old law being authorized,
while the Roman Church does state
that the change was made by their
church and declare that Professionals,
by OBSERVING Sunday, ere recognizing
their power" How about this?
AS long as there seems to be an
undercurrent of sentiment toward
the establishment of a Sunday
closing movement on q National scale
among the Protestant churches, is it
not little significant that the Cath
Ollie church advocates the joining of
her clerical forces with those of the
Protestants? True, the observance
Of Sunday is almost universal in all
civilized countries, and has the sane
ton of all or majority Of the pres
ent-day Protestant churches, an it
may not be question that in the last
analysis amounts to more than q diff
ference of individual opinion, but st
the same time what ere we going to
do with the explicit commend as
given us in the Mosaic l;.w?
Yours truly,
Ga. CHAS. E. PLANK.
