y which has been traveled by
Romanism, and when we behold this mighty waste of despair we can not
conceive how the United States of America can expect to fare better
than have the nations of the past, unless she exerts her American and
Protestant manhood and gives Roman Catholicism to understand that it
is time to halt, and, in the name of an intelligent God, forbid her
to transgress further upon the rights of this country.

In this chapter we will endeavor to be explicit and above all
truthful, and we ask God to give us courage to present facts in a way
that will fan to life again the patriotism that has been lulled to
sleep by the bat-like wings of Roman Catholicism.

We hope that this little volume may arouse unconcerned Protestantism

reaches the highest officials of the land, as we find to-day the
boa-constrictor of Catholicism wrapped about every official at
Washington city, from the President of the United States on down.

Suppose that the Pope and his tribe of liberty-destroyers realized
that the officials of America were Protestants, and implicitly
believed and lived up to the teachings of Protestantism; do you think
that she would presume to approach our Protestant officials and
demand their support in behalf of her damn
