offer the Protestant world the insults that is contained in this
article, what shall we expect if this damnable creed ever becomes
powerful enough to control by physical strength? The article follows:

"Protestantism in Cuba? What good will it do there? If only
the good it has wrought elsewhere, Heaven help the Cubans!
Protestantism is nothing but a disorganizer and a pathway to
infidelity and atheism. This is the only reason of its
existence. As a positive moral force, it is a farce. It has
never converted a single nation, but it has unconverted
Protestants themselves with a holy vengeance. Berlin has
75,000 church goers out of 2,000,000 people; London 400,000
out of 6,000,000 and so on. 'Without baptism you can not
enter Heaven,' says the Scripture, and lo! thanks to
Protestantism, nearly 60,000,000 people in the United States
are not baptized. A nice system (for the devil), that
produces such results--results as fatal to the heathen as to
the Christian. Protestantism found the Sandwich islands with
400,000 people. Where are they now? Gone. A million Macris in
New Zealand. Where are they? Gone. Seven million Indians in
the United States. Where are they? Gone.

"On the other hand, the friars found 300,000 natives in the
Philippines 400 years ago, and there are 9,000,000 now;
12,000,000 Indians south of the Rio Grande, and there are
50,000,000 now. 'By their fruits you shall know them.' In
view of such facts, we think Protestants should leave
'Boonioboola Gha' alone and confine their proselytizing to
unfortunates nearer home. An American is just as well worth
saving as a Cuban or a Chinaman any day."

"_The American Citizen_," a journal published in Boston, Mass., made
the following comment on this article, which appeared in this Roman
Catholic journal:

"The above is as good a specimen of papal logic as we have
ever seen--and it is the real thing.

"'It has never converted a single nation!' Christianity is
not supposed to convert nations--it converts individuals.
Mohammedanism converted (?) many nations by the sword, and
popery attempted to do it by the inquisition, but
failed--except in the case of the Jews and Moors in Spain,
which it 'converted' into beggars and refugees.

"Rome 'converted' the Albigenses from being peaceful and
industrious citizens into the bes
