IT love, pure and true,

The first time I ever heard Alexander H.
Stephens speak, he used the Methodist
Church, in Thomson, and spoke from it's
pulpit.
He made political speech.
During the SO years that have been con-
nected with the Thomson Baptist Church,
either as Sunday School boy, or as member,
[ have known it to be used for many purposes
besides worship; and the use of the building
by an occasional lecturer, has been nothing
uncommon.
The pastor at Jacksonville made blunder,
and it's injurious effects will follow him and
his church for many years.
The fearless Christian gentleman who
assails Roman idolatry, Mary worship,
papal impostures and political priest-craft,
renders q service to the State, to the people,
AND TO GOD.
That such gentleman should be virtually
censured by Baptist preacher, fills NE with
shame and indignation.

To speak of miracles in connection with
these spurious bones, is blasphemy.
If God were working miracles at this time,
He would stop the European war, feed the
starving, restore the manned, and inaugurate
a reign of brotherly love.
He would not leave it to lot of lazy,
lustful avaricious priests to swindle ignorant
people out of their money, by the use of these
nasty old bones.

The Hon. George G. Mathews
In His New Role of
Church-buSter.


jacksonville and, with one lecture, bust up
the Baptist Church Of that Holy City.
You never can tell how much dynamite
these quiet men carry concealed.
Never would you suspect that the Honor
able George would prove to be high ex-
plosiye, capable of heaving Baptist Church
up by the roots
Yet the unexpected has happened, and one
of our little independent Baptist republics is
acting like miniature Mexico; and the hair
pulling is what Ralph Bingham would call
scandalonous.
Here is the way the thing happened:
In Jacksonville, the Knights of Columbus
had become so violently aggressive, and had
shown such determination to rule Senator
Bryan the Democratic Executive Committee,
Mayor Bowden, the newspapers, and the Of
fees, that the AmericGns had to do something
They organized themselves into ust such
patriotic orders as contributed SO largely to
the success of the Revolutionary War. In
the times that tried mems souls, those patri-
otto orders were called Liberty Boys, Sons of
Liberty, and so forth; at the present time,
similar organizations of patriots, banded to-
gether to defend AmericaniSm, against Grim
inal and INSCRIPTIONS Romanisne, take the
names of Knights of Luther, Guardians of
Liberty, ETC.
The jacksonville patriots invited Hon.
George G. Matthews to visit their city and
deliver lecture on RomanIsm.
He is gentleman of education and refine
ment; and he had served this Government as
Consul at Para, in Brazil, for years, during
which he became thoroughly familiar with
the workings of popery.
In Jacksonville, he was rendered the use OF
the Baptist Church, and it was there that he
delivered his lecture.
Nobody claims that he used a single word
unbecoming to a gentleman, and uniting to
a church.
Even the venomous little Catholic sheet,
"Dixie', admits that no fault could be found
with the address,
Yet. tremendous racket was started by
the pastor, and by faction In the church
because it had been used for speech against
poperv!
Is it possible that the Rev. A W. Hobson
does not know, that the nroudest part Of our
Baptist history is that which shows us as the
unbending, unQuailing, mc nquerabe foes of
Romanism, during the bloody ages when the
swords of popes slaughtered millions OF
Christians who would not knucxe to Rome?
What IS the Baptist Church, as an organl-
zatien. if not standing rebuke to popery!
What are all the Protestant Churches here
fer?
What is their reason for existence?
IF the Waldenses were wrong, If the Pedo-
Baptists were wrong, If the Lutherans, and
the Presbyterians, and the Huguenots were all
wrong, why not disband these expensive es-
adjustments, confess our error, fall at the
foot of the italian pope, and reyerently kiss
his toe?
A Protestant church which dares not pro-
test against popery, is an Out-of-date fraud,
and deserves the cOntempt of free men.

Saint Anne and Her Innumer-
able Bones.

a n Alabama friend writes to ask about one
of Saint Anne's bones, which the Ro-
manists of the St. Anne de Beaupre Church
in Canada claims to have, and which they
claim to be good physic for all human all
ments.
Saint Anne apparently had more bones
than sucker fish, and they outlast the eternal
hills.
Ages of rain and wind wear down the
hills, but nothing can diminish or annihilate
Saint Anne's bones.
Europe was deliberately supplied with them,
during the Dark Ages and no we'll regulated
church, convent, or monastery was lacking in
at least one Of the shin bones of this Jewish
woman, the mother-in-laW of Joseph the jack
leg carpenter.
Anne's leg bones reached all the way from
Canterbury, in England, to Brussels. in Bel
GUM, thence to Rheims, Paris, Madrid,
Milan, Venice, Rome Vienna, and Warsaw.
A marvellous lot of legs this Hebrew lady
had, to be sure
There was no exhausting the number, nor
any decay of the parts.
The priests say, that they were miraculous
ly multiplied, like the loaves and fishes in the
New Testament.
Yes, l reckon that's so; but I notice we
don't have any of those loaVes and fishes
left.
Why not miraculously multiply something
for hungry folks to eat, instead of creating
new baskets-fu of Anne's legs, which nobody
can eat, and which none but the priests can
make money on!
Saint Anne's bones never began to cross
the ocean, until here lately. We now have
them in New York, where they cure all dis
eases, excepting the real ones.
[ notice the holy bones do not cure diph-
iberia, nor meningitis, nor typhoid fever, nor
tuberculosis, nor ptomaine poisoning, nor
whooping cough
Every now and then. some old granny Of
a woman pretends to limp into church, on
crutches, afflicted with rheumatism and the
priest touches her with Anne's old bone, and
the crutches are laid aside to be used as an
exhibit of the curative powers of the bone.
The priests see to it that the cure" gets
into the papers, and nothing is said about the
thousands of priests and laymen who die, in
spite of the bone remedy.
Any sane person ought to know that human
bones, exposed for 1900 years, would be mere
dust. Even in tombs, the human frame be-
comes dust, after few years. Only such
bones as are imbedded in mari, or clay, or
some other preservative substance, can last
100 years

This Old Soldiers Courag e
Shines Radiantly i'm Contrast
with those who are Afraid
TO Have their Names Appear.
THE very best policy our friends could
adopt, when writing to me in apprecia-
ton of the fight on Roman idolatry and the
Catholic political machine, would be, to let me-
use their names.
The more we stand out In the open, the less
harm the priests can do to any one Of us.
The fewer there are who will stand out in
the open, against Rome's treasonous and per-
scouting priesthood, the greater the pressure
they can put upon those few.
They don't hide, ochy should ace?
They fill the papers, the streets, the trains,
and the magazines with their abusive and
Gbelous tongue wagging: why should goa be
afraid to let these oathbound subjects of for
eigner know where y0u stand?
Marvin Brown risks his life to run The
Menace: Lloyd Clark risks his to lecture
against Romanism: Rev. A E. Barnett does
the same thing; and the fearless woman,
Burke Mccarthy who combats popery in Los
Angeles, runs greater risks than any of us.
Pluck up your courage, friends, and show
the Roman priests that you are not afraid Of
them
They can't boycott everybody
They can't persecute everybody.
They can't abuse and SANDER everybody.
Come out like true men, and show your
colors, and tell the priests to h0pz and be-
ID!

see what sensible, courageous view he takes

should be withheld, but my conclusions that I
am no better, nor is my physical life any dearer
to to my friends than the life and use

Marshal Tex. that of Hon. Thomas E. Watson

With a nod acknowledging the cour-

proportions, furnished chiefly with a
green.covered card table and five easy
chairs, OF which three we're occupied

third by one in well-tailored lounge

All three men wore vizors Of black

Lanyard looked from one to the

Nodding acknowledgment of the por.

last thirty-six hours was beginning to
tell on him, though his youth was still
so vital, SO instinct with strength and
vigor that he could. II need be, go as
long again without sleep.
None the less he was glad of this
opportunity to snatch few moments
rest by way Of preparation against the
occult elimination of this adventure.
No telling what might ensue Of this
violation of all those principles which
had hitherto insured his welfare!
However. he stood committed to his
folly, il folly it were-he would play
