PAN PROTESTANT CONFERENCE
VIEWS OF MoNSIGNoR RUSSELL,
RECTOR OF ST. PATRIcK'S
CHURCH, WASHINGTON, D. C.

We cannot let pass without some
notice the pitiful pretensions of those
who assembled at the Panama Con-
ference of the Protestant Mission
aries for the discussion of the needs
and missions" of the Latin Americans.
Out of the overfoWing, superabundant
treasure-house of Christianity in the
United States, what portion, we may
ask, are these jealous missionaries
disposed to bestow upon the misguided
Catholics of Central and South Amer
lea? Will they teach them Christian
ity? 1t is admitted that the Latin
Americans, for the most part, Believe
at least in Christ.
The northern part of Mexico, which
produced the bandits now giving us so
much trouble, is the only section in
which the people have to any large ex-
tent lost their faith. This is due to
the fact that this section, more than
any other part of Latin America, has
been evangelical by Protestant mis-
sionaries of the United States. The
pCOp1O COdOCu .UO SdIuO41CS even
name, and they did not become
Professionalism bandits!
While, then, Latin America, with
this notable exception, is at least
Christian, our census shows that one
half of our population does not even
profess belief in Christ. While these
missionaries are complaining in this
country of ever-decreasing congrega-
tions, the Catholic churches in this
country are filled several times every
Sunday. Physician, cure myself
How will these Protestant mission
aries teach the Latin Americans re-
spect for life,-by our methods of sui
eide and lynch law? Will these mis-
sionaries find in Latin America any
instances of men strung up to a tree,
hanged, burned and shot to death by
respectable citizens without due proc
ess of law? 1t may be noted, in pass
ing, that executions of this sort are
most common In the States among us
