 The Rev. MT. Durant's fling at the confessional and Catholic immortality, brand as a condemned Justification. This is a euphemism. l do not care to use the shorter and uglier words.
 AMERICA CATHOLIC
 Make America Catholic? Why, cer- tainly. Every true Catholic would de- sire to see our beloved country a Cath ollie nation and all Americans profess ing the old faith that true Catholics believe the Son of God established Of old to save mankind. Every true Cath ollie would wish to see his fellow coun- tryman enjoying the same spiritual blessings and graces that are his, graces and blessing that, flowing from the fount of grace, through sacra- mental channels, refresh and strength en the soul and give courage and hope in hours of sorrow and doubt and gloom. Every true Catholic would glad ly see his fellow men live holily and die happily with the hope of glor ious resurrection. Must not every true Baptist who believes that his faith possesses wonderful spiritual helps for life and death, wish America Baptist Must not every Methodist wish it Meth odist, and every Presbyterian, Presby- terian? I hope they do. If they sin cerely profess and practice their belief they most assuredly do
 The Catholic church has withstood the assaults of 19 centuries of stress and storm. The gates of hell have tried, but vainly, to prevail Foes without the fold and traitors within have risen up against the society the Savior es- ta blished, to which He promised His abiding presence and protection till time be done and the heavens rolled up as scroll.

The car toon represented the great German statesman, Bismarck, with croWbar labelled anti-Catholic laws. endeavor- ing to upturn St. Peters mighty dome. Satan in amusement was look1ng on. The legend ran; Where the Master failed, shall the servant succeed?' Let me asI-I will not say Satan Is the Rev. Mr. Durant's master, even if he does link the revered head Of my church with that undesirable character Jet me ask, however, where Bls- marck failed, shall the Baptist pastor of Pratt City succeed? Sincerely,
 JAMES E. COYLE.
