assed the
servant, out into the street, with the priest begging her to say
nothing about what had happened. We want to know if this attempted
crime injured the priest in the estimation of Catholicism? Not by any
means, as he continued to serve the church in the capacity of priest,
after both this girl's father and mother had publicly denounced him
as a seducer of virtue.

The entire congregation learned of this priest's attempted assault
upon virtue, but this degrading notoriety did not injure him in the
least, as his services are just as crowded as they were before. This
outrage was carried before the bishop of the diocese in which this
church was situated, but nothing was done.

The priest which we refer to was a drunkard, and he drank as deeply
after this attempted assault as before, and in a short time he
assaulted a 12-year-old girl, and not long after that he assaulted
his servant, who was a girl 18 years of age, and continued his raid
upon her virtue until one day, while in a drunken spree, he struck
her and injured her, and she made public the actions of this human
viper, who had been parading in the robes of a priest.

Did this exposure disgrace him in the eyes of the Catholic officials
who were above him? Not at all, as he continued to serve this New
York church without molestation, and it was a notorious fact, and
known by the members of his church what he was accused of, but still
hundreds of boys and girls, young men and young women, and old men
and old women, bowed at the feet of this depraved devil and
confessed their sins.

If we cared, we could write from now until our old arm would become
palsied with age, and each chapter would be a new story of the
perfidy and hellishness of the priestcraft, as every age reeks with
the stench of their immorality, and the countries which are
completely under the power of the Pope of Rome are only the shadows
of what this country will become if this demon of darkness is not
halted, for the influence of the priesthood in America upon the
morals of this country will spread its blight over the face of our
fair land until our nation's morals will be a nauseating sight to
behold.

Reader, remember what I tell you to-day: that unless the spirit of
Protestantism takes a firm stand in this land against Catholicism, we
will find our Protestant hopes and ambitions within the near future
paralyzed by the infusion of Rome's immorality.
