To this, attention should be called before it is too late.

Roman Catholics claim to be a portion of the religious world. More than that, worse than that, they claim to be the religious world and to possess all the virtues; when truth compels the admission that as a system of faith Romanism is built on a lie and can only be served wisely and well by those ready to surrender the truth and resort to misrepresentation as a trade.

The president of the United States finds it for his advantage to lock arms with the red robed potentate to lay the corner stone of the
