◆ How fitting are the words of Samuel Morse, American inventor of the telegraph, in 1832, at this very hour! "Watch the [changeable] shapes of Popery, to suspect it most when it allies itself to our interests in the guise of friend." Jehovah's witnesses have had the truth of that warning brought home in their case: the Jesuit Hierarchy, posing as defenders of the United States against Nazism, had their agents denounce Jehovah's witnesses, and, without trial, set upon them violently and furiously. Of the outrages committed, the American Civil Liberties Union publication of January, 1941, The Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses, by appropriate subtitle refers to these as "The record of violence against a religious organization unparalleled since the attacks on the Mormons." Thus "in the guise of friend" Popery is today assaulting America's truest friends! The purpose of the information given here is not to recount history, but to sound another warning. At the instance of the Devil, who is their father, the Jesuits are desperately fighting against THE THEOCRACY, otherwise called the kingdom of heaven, or of Christ Jesus. In this dire hour, when destruction stares mankind in the face, and their only protection lies in seeking THE THEOCRACY, it is of vital importance to warn the people of their enemies. Though named after Jesus, the Jesuits are among those who not only refuse to enter THE THEOCRACY but hinder the Catholic people from so doing: "for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (Matthew 23: 13) These words of Jesus alone condemn the "Society of Jesus" as enemies of His kingdom. It is therefore in the interests of the Catholic people especially, who may consider the Jesuits friends and brethren, to warn them by submitting ample evidence of the iniquity and treacherous cunning of this religious gestapo.—Elton Groves.

Jesuit Cunning

THE Jesuits, name given the members of the Catholic “Society of Jesus”, are the secret police of the Papacy. In this capacity of espionage agents for the Roman Catholic Hierarchy they have been the scourge of Europe and also of the Americas for the last four centuries, since their founding. The past crimes of the Jesuits, and their resulting expulsion from many countries, are but briefly touched upon in this article, as the subject received full discussion in previous issues of Consolation. It is the present activities of this organization that chiefly concern us; and their menace to the United States, now so imminent, and so clearly warned against by famous Americans in the past. See Notanda, page 2.

Brief History

The “Society of Jesus”, official name of the order, was founded in 1540 by Ignatius Loyola, a wounded and fanatical soldier of the pope. A bitter reactionary, he proposed to destroy the Protestant Reformation just then making itself felt on the Catholic world. Luther had started a great movement against Romanism in Germany; Zwingli’s new thought had fired Switzerland; Latimer, Ridley, and Cranmer perished in flames in the English Inquisition of Mary; some fifteen years later, in testimony to the new Protestant faith. The horrible massacres of St. Bartholomew’s Day, when the blood of the Protestant Huguenots ran in the gutters of Paris; the dispatching of the Spanish Armada, a vicious but unsuccessful assault upon England defeated in 1588; and the Gunpowder Plot to blow up Parliament and King James I, were all acts in furtherance of the conspiracy to destroy the Reformation. These terrible deeds were some of the first fruits of the counter-Reformation “Society of Jesus”.

Since then the bloodshed resulting from the intrigue and treason fomented by this criminal body has reddened the rivers and soaked the sod of both the Old and the New World. Nor has their purpose changed. It has been and ever will be the extermination of all protest against Roman Catholicism, or interference with her announced purpose to rule the world. The Scriptures plainly foretold the rise of this cruel religious power, dominated by the Jesuits; therefore it must be so.

Such hateful crimes caused new definitions of terms describing the Jesuits to be written:

“Jesuitic or Jesuitical: 1. Of or pertaining to the Jesuits or their principles, practices or methods.

“2. (L.c.) Designing; cunning; deceitful; crafty.”

“Jesuitism: 1. The principles, doctrines, or religious organization and practice of the Jesuits.

“2. (L.c.) The principles or practices ascribed to the Jesuits; Jesuitry; hence, a quibble; equivocal act or statement;—an opprobrious use of the word.”

“Jesuitry . . . subtle or dissembling argument or practices, as the practice of mental reservation, action on the principle that the end justifies the means.”— Webster’s New International Dictionary,

1927 Edition, page 1161.

In Spanish countries, where they led the Inquisition of terrible name, the term Jesuit (Jesuita) has come to mean “cruel” and is used to express contemptuous hatred.

Such is the infamy that they are striving so hard to wipe off the pages of history today. But there is no change in blackhearted purpose today or any day. The documentary evidence submitted below corroborates their evil past, and proves their present aims unchanged.

JESUITRY DOMINATES CATHOLIC CHURCH

“An outstanding Catholic historian, Josef Schmidlin, draws a clear picture of the different factions which existed within the Catholic church towards the end of the 19th century, and how victory for the intransigent (uncompromising) Jesuit party led to the rise of Fascism.” (The Converted Catholic, November, 1940)

Schmidlin further shows that the Jesuits are the most reactionary of all Catholics; that is, favoring a return to the old system of Rome which freely used the rack and torture system to crush opposition. There are many liberals in the Catholic Church but they have no voice in running Catholic Action today.

Many of them perished in blood purges. Dr. Klausner, head of the liberal Catholic Center party in the Reich, was killed in Hitler’s purge of 1934, shortly after his party folded up. Nazi and Fascist persecution of liberal Catholics, which has been done with the full approval of the pope and Jesuit council, furnishes some color to the delusion that a grim struggle is taking place between the Papacy and Nazi-Fascism. It was this liberal group, so hated by the Jesuits, that Mussolini denounced as “a certain vacillating Catholicism with which we will know how to deal.” Americans are pointed to these Jesuitic outrages as proof that the pope is fighting valiantly against powerful dictators, who persecute his “children”. This is a first-class example of Jesuit cunning.

The device is so subtle that the people of the United States, both Catholic and Protestant, are blinded to their greatest danger, the Jesuit-controlled Roman Catholic Hierarchy, bent on world domination, and backing the bloody dictators to that end.

So well has this trick worked, and so completely has the American press been forced into line by Jesuit pressure, that few Americans will believe it when told that there is no persecution of the Catholic Church in Germany. Catholics have suffered and been killed, yes, but the ruling faction, the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, sees eye to eye with the dictators, even in this. On this point a few copies of The Converted Catholic, 229 W. 48th St., New York City, edited by a former Roman Catholic priest, who possesses a thorough knowledge of Jesuit methods, will convince the most skeptical. The address of this magazine is given here, as it has been boycotted from the streets of New York through Jesuit intimidation.

According to the confessions of Thyssen, munitions magnate who had some part in Hitler’s “election”, von Papen, Jesuit-trained diplomat, at present German ambassador to Turkey (Ankara), and Pacelli, then Papal secretary of state, and now Pius XII, maneuvered Hitler into power. The purpose was to have Hitler accomplish the Jesuit ends of long standing.

It can be safely said that Nazi-Fascism and Jesuitism, the two greatest reactionary forces in the world today, are but two facets of the same unity—one civil, the other ecclesiastical.

. . . Nazi-Fascism’s anti-Semitic ideology, its anti-Masonic and anti-democratic activities, its propaganda methods, the hierarchical structure of its organization, and even its war program, were copied from the Jesuit order.

Hitler, Goering and Goebbels and the greatest part of the highest officials of the Third Reich are Catholics by birth and education.

Hitler was trained by the Christian-Socialist Party and by the Jesuit-controlled Congregations of Mary. Goebbels was once the treasurer of the Barromean Association, which is also controlled by the Jesuits.—The Converted Catholic, November, 1940, issue.

Bishop Rarkowski, field bishop of the German Army, in a letter addressed to German soldiers of Catholic faith, congratulated them on “the Christian attitude they have maintained on the field of battle”. He clearly discloses both the Jesuit aims and Hitler’s agreement therewith:

“The German nation,” Bishop Rarkowski stated, “which has been waging war against those who env[ied] it for years, has an untroubled conscience and knows which nations have burdened themselves before God and history with the responsibility for the gigantic struggle now raging. It knows who wantonly unleashed the fury of this war. It knows that it is waging a just war. ... Abroad and at home the Fuehrer’s thanks to God that his plea for His blessing for our good and just cause was expressed more than once, and was understood.”

This bold blasphemy was reproduced in an Associated Press dispatch, and published in the New York Times and other papers of October 5, 1940.

Those who know the aims and history of the Jesuits will recognize the above as a Jesuit prayer: Hitler is praying for the subjugation of England, chief remaining obstacle to the re-establishment of the “Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation”. The ancient dismemberment of this empire was made official at the Peace of Westphalia, ratified at Munster and Osnabruck in 1648. Many will remember Hitler’s boast of last year that he would bring German enemies to historic Munster, for the imposing of Nazi terms. He plans to wipe out the victories of the Reformation, guaranteed by the terms of this treaty. The defeat of England is required to achieve the Jesuit goal. Rome’s ancient ascendency, political and religious, must be restored. Such is the Nazi-Jesuit aim, foretold in the Scriptures. (2 Chronicles 20th chapter; Revelation 13th and 17th chapters. For explanation see Conspiracy Against Democracy.)

Jesuit Tactics

Anti-Semitism, Jewish pogroms (riots), annihilation of Masonry, restitution of Catholic orders and religion in the schools such as recently done in France, retaliation upon relatives of those who have incurred Nazi displeasure, confusing propaganda such as so effectively employed by Goebbels, and use of the fifth column, are all tricks out of the Jesuit bag. The fact that they work so effectively shows that they cannot be despised. Nor will a few examples arm the people against their devices, for they employ as many varieties of deception as can be brought to their minds by Satan, the Master Liar.—John 8:44.

The brilliance of Jesuit cunning can be judged by the results. Although Hitler’s objectives are well understood in Europe, Americans generally are kept ignorant. Here only the Hierarchy and leaders in Catholic Action are apprised. The people are jostled along like sheep to the slaughter. The blackhearted leaders of the Papacy are herding the people into the international slaughterhouse where the rosary and all other religious incantation is invoked to no avail. And even to the grave their religious betrayers follow to mutter some meaningless phrases that the Lord will not hear, and the victim can never hear. (Proverbs 28:9) This grand-scale betrayal to death could be so successful only through the aid of Jesuit cunning. [See also page 21]

On All Sides

One of the tricks often employed to confuse is to have Jesuits advocating both sides of a question. Of course, no real effort is made to accomplish victory for the side adverse to the pope, but lots of talk will often divert enemy attack.

Thus in Germany and Italy the Hierarchy and the pope are solidly behind the dictators, while in America they are represented as the helpless victims of the dictators. Another illustration is their conduct about free speech. In June, 1939 a group of Jesuit-inspired Coughlinites left a picket line formed around Radio Station WMCA in protest for free speech for their leader, in order to march over to Madison Square Garden to try to break up an assembly of Jehovah’s witnesses. Thus they left a demonstration of their own favoring free speech for their unprincipled führer, for the purpose of destroying free speech for those whose lawful character has been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Many Catholics are convinced that such measures are all right. They fail to see that freedom of speech does not mean freedom only to speak what the pope wants spoken; and its loss will be their loss as well. Many Catholic newspapers busy themselves shouting for free speech for Coughlin. These same institutions have resorted to mob violence to prevent Jehovah’s witnesses from telling the people of the message of Jehovah’s kingdom, otherwise called The Theocracy. Their acts prove them both inconsistent, vicious, and the enemies of mankind, whose only hope is this kingdom.

The people of the United States generally know that “hate” bills have been introduced in many state legislatures, whose similar language plainly shows that they proceed from the same source. The object of these bills, cunningly devised to appear as attempts to stop attacks on race or religion, is admitted to be the silencing of Jehovah’s witnesses. In answer to these methods, Jehovah’s witnesses have taken advantage of their privilege of laying the facts and the danger before the people of these various states. The results have been so devastating to the Hierarchy that they have been compelled to back water. To hide their own promotion and introduction of these bills, about which lawmakers are heard to say “The Catholics started this bill to stop Jehovah’s witnesses”, the Hierarchy has one of its publications denounce the self-proposed law. This is an old Jesuit trick to defend themselves from the just charges being leveled at the institution stooping to such methods, and at once discredit the integrity of those making the charges. They can hoot at the accusations and go right ahead getting the law passed. To date, however, they have not had much success, due largely to the alertness of Jehovah’s witnesses.

An example of the above form of trickery is found in the attack on a New York “hate” bill by Coughlin in the April 7 issue of Social Justice. Coughlin denounced the bill on grounds such as the following: “Thus a public display of that ‘emblem’ (the cross) might be interpreted by some anti-Christians as ‘offensive’ and ‘inciting hostility’.” Likewise, “it would be illegal for a clergyman to either say his beads in public, or read his breviary on a car or train.” The Hierarchy had become pretty hard-pressed by the warnings sounded up and down the land by Jehovah’s witnesses. Of course, they had no fears of Catholic persecution, but the exposure made a move to cover up badly needed.

No doubt taking their cue from this editorial, a fanatical group of Coughlinites presented themselves before the Minnesota legislature, where a similar bill was under consideration. An eye-witness stated: “Minnesota legislative committee held a hearing at which WARNING (presented by Jehovah’s witnesses) was duly read. The local company’s attorney, friendly, spoke on his own initiative against the bill. During that speech a crowd of Coughlinites broke in on the committee and began their usual roughneck tactics, attempting to heckle and otherwise show off. Their spokesman claimed to be ‘against’ the bill and demanded a public hearing. The chairman promised to consult all members of the committee subsequently as to holding another hearing, and then to notify the Coughlinite spokesman and also Jehovah’s witnesses and their attorney.” This Coughlin demonstration was plainly all show. Can one imagine a Coughlinite being indicted under this or any similar law? The fact that such hoodlums are not in jail shows this to be a generous country, so far as Catholicism is concerned.

In passing, it would be interesting to know how George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, staunch Protestants, would have dealt with a bunch of rabble who violently interrupted a private session. When hooligans are treated with deference by legislative bodies, it shows to what depths of depraved fear before the Hierarchy many lawmakers of this country have fallen.

A few more examples will suffice to give some insight into this black craft. The pope recently blessed the Italians that flew to England and bombed the Royal Palace. The king and queen narrowly escaped, and were congratulated by the pope! The pope orders all Germans and Italians to be loyal to their respective dictators. Then to the world is flashed the news that he is not leaning to the dictators, but, on the contrary, that the Catholic church is suffering harsh persecution. That would mean that Hitler and Mussolini are persecuting the “church” organization at which they both worship, and which they have granted first privileges in every land conquered. When Britain made known through the Vatican that if either Athens or Alexandria were bombed, she would retaliate by bombing Rome, with Vatican City probably in line of fire, you will remember from the news that ally Hitler carefully avoided all bombing of the two cities. However, Rome and Vatican City will both go down when the Lord strikes. H. G. Wells, famous English writer, is incensed over the present immunity of Rome. He makes plain his conviction that it ought to be attacked, in his article “Why Don’t We Bomb Rome?” (Published in the Sunday Dispatch, January 19, 1941, England. This remarkable article is referred to on page 31 of this issue.)

The pope has concordats with both Hitler and Mussolini, and none with England or America, with whom concordats are impossible because of the freedom of discussion. The dictatorships suit the Hierarchy perfectly because in them her actions are not hampered by any of the freedoms she so much detests.

Another hullabaloo to cover up complicity and also have excuse to smash enemies is the Catholic screech against Communism. Jehovah’s witnesses are called Communists and subversive fifth columnists, and this in spite of the facts and a Federal Bureau of Investigation report to the contrary. Jehovah’s witnesses are the only true Americans, fighting to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of our own consciences, even as our forefathers did. They tried to preserve the results of that fight by incorporating the liberties fought for in the Constitution and the first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights. The very first of these amendments is, briefly stated, for this purpose: “insuring religious freedom, freedom of speech and of the press, and the right peaceably to assemble and petition the government.” (Winston’s Simplified Dictionary, page 1248, under “Amendment”)

Three Supreme Court decisions affirm the rights of Jehovah’s witnesses to go from door to door, tell the people of Jehovah’s kingdom, and to use the phonograph for this purpose. (Lovell, Schneider and Cantwell cases) Solicitor-General Biddle publicly denounced by radio the mob violence practiced upon these true Christians. But the attacks go on and the government does nothing. The reason was stated by Jesus: “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”—Mark 13: 13.

Furthermore, Communism is merely another name for Nazism. There is a workable understanding between Communism and the Papacy. (See “Face the Facts”, delivered in London, September, 1938.) In corroboration the New York Times, October 6, 1940, says editorially, under the title “Death of an Illusion”:

Rarely does history provide such dramatic irony as in the coincidence that on the day that Neville Chamberlain finally passed from the political scene Signor Gayda informed the readers of the Giornale that the differences between the supposed enemies, Communism and Fascism, were not, after all, so very great: that there were indeed “affinities of inspiration and application” between them. As late as the Spring of 1939 the argument was common in London that, repellent as it was, Fascism (in its Italian and German forms) was preferable to Communism, the assumption being that the two were mortal foes and that the free nations could choose between them.

The acceptance of this thesis in influential quarters throughout the democratic world represented Hitler’s greatest propagandist triumph. He had been thundering it forth for years. It had got him into power in Germany. It likewise served his purpose abroad. . . .

Even after the war had begun, the fear of Communism was exploited by the Nazis, though in slightly altered arguments. They then said that if peace were not soon made with Hitler, Germany might go Communistic. But by that time Nazi reasoning was losing its persuasiveness; and the Nazi onslaught upon the Western democracies destroyed the great illusion of Hitler and Mussolini as twin St. Georges saving Western civilization from the Communistic dragon. But the Communist bogey had served its purpose, and now at last it is cast aside even by the Fascists.

Several years before Judge Rutherford pointed out that Communism was a Catholic ‘bogey’ designed to frighten the people to Nazi-Fascism. A recent joke has circulation in official quarters: “What will Stalin do when Germany tackles Turkey?” Answer: “He doesn’t know. He hasn’t got his orders from Berlin yet.”

The news of May 15 tells how “Good Marshal Petain”, so highly approved by the pope, called upon the French people to “‘Bow to Hitler to Wipe out Defeat.’” “Petain intimated that France must come to an understanding with Germany [Papal Sword], and has chosen ‘collaboration’ with the Axis both in Europe and Africa, convinced that Germany will win the war and that France’s fate rests with Berlin.” (U.P., Daily News, May 16, 1941) It seems that Petain must have received another order from the pope.

Instead of being neutral the pope is “in the fray”, according to his official announcement. “In an editorial taking the whole of its front page, the Osservatore declares the Pope is far from being a ‘neutral or impartial power.’ Those who think he is looking at the conflict from the loftiness of his position as head of the Catholic Church are mistaken, it says. Far from being aloof, he is greatly concerned with present events and very much ‘in the fray’ to seek a triumph of his conception of a Christian peace, the newspaper adds.” (The New York Times, March 12, 1941) Anyone with intelligence can well understand that the pope’s “conception of a Christian peace” would not contain any favors for England.

Jesuits in America

The last several issues of The Converted Catholic contain much evidence of the complicity of Jesuits in the betrayal of the countries in advance of Hitler’s legions and panzers. But return to the record of this infamous order in America, where we are more immediately concerned. According to the Catholic Official Directory of 1938, there are 6,008 Jesuits in America. Their headquarters, called the “General Motherhouse”, is at Rome. Here these spies regularly report. These six thousand men are trained in demonized cunning. Under their charge are countless thousands who do their bidding without question. The Knights of Columbus are directed by the Jesuits; and their alleged oath, on one occasion printed in protest in their behalf in the Congressional Record, suggests Jesuit origin.

They also have an organ for disseminating propaganda, the magazine America, published in New York. That publication fulminates abuse against Jehovah’s witnesses, and, less openly, attacks democracy and Protestantism. With a record for crime surpassing any other organization on earth, they had the temerity to invite both presidential candidates, President Roosevelt and Willkie, to a “Solemn Pontifical Mass Sept. 29 commemorating the 400th anniversary of the Society of Jesus”. (New York Daily Mirror, September 13, 1940) Always playing both sides.

Just what kind of goods the Jesuits deal out can be judged by the following: “From the very inception of the Spanish War, the American newspapers have misrepresented the situation in Spain. The set-up there is in reality quite simple. A Red clique controlled by Moscow attempted to establish a Soviet Government.” (John A. Toomey, S.J., Propaganda in the Press, p. 3; America Press)

On this point Van Paassen, Dutch journalist, is quoted, and his words are corroborated by the Catholic writers De Semprun Gurrea, Maritain, Bernanos, Bergamin, and Lawrence Fernsworth: “What Franco was doing in Spain, the Duke of Alva and the Cardinal de Granvelle had tried to do in the seventeenth century in Holland and Flanders [just what Hitler has now accomplished], and Catherine de Medici [niece of the pope] and the Duc de Guise in the savage night of St. Bartholomew’s in France: Franco and his cohorts desired to slip the black collar of servitude back on the necks of the Spanish people who had just thrown it off.” (Days of Our Years, pages 466-7) This same Franco, who did the Hierarchy’s bidding in Spain, is now backing up a Mexican-

Fascist clamor for the “restoration” to old Spain of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Philippine Islands, etc. (Washington Times-Herald, December 1, 1940) Perhaps this is “Franco’s way” of thanking this country for the fifteen million loaned his government.

As a matter of fact the determination of the Vatican to reduce Spain by force was predicted in a remarkable letter of the archbishop of Toledo, published in The Kourier, Ku Klux Klan publication, issue of September, 1933. The headlines read: “Romanists to War on Spain. Priests Resent Being Pried Loose from Fat Livings.” “The new primate, who is assuming the leadership of the Spanish church in the darkest hour of its history, called upon the faithful to offer passive resistance to anti-ecclesiastical legislation,” says the letter of the archbishop.” Says The Kourier, “The new primate of the Catholic Church in Spain has just declared war on the Spanish Republic.” Mind you the time this was written, 1933, three years before the rebellion led by Franco, and supported by Hitler and Mussolini, whom the pope claims are persecuting Catholicism!

“If these things are true,” you may ask, “why has not some one cried out to warn the people?” The answer is that all cries have been silenced except that of Jehovah’s witnesses. For example, Consolation No. 561 published excerpts from a volume entitled “Confessions of a French Catholic Priest, to which are added Warnings to the People of the United States, by the same author”. It was published at New York in 1837 by D. Van Nostrand, whose firm still operates. Recently the firm wrote letters to Consolation readers denying publication of this book although several existing copies bear their founder’s name; and the book was edited by Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor of the electric telegraph (1832), whose scientific writings they admit publishing. Plainly their denials are actuated by fear of the Hierarchy.

Examination has brought another book to light, this one written entirely by Morse, and published by Van Nostrand & Dwight, No. 146 Nassau street, New York, 1836. This book is a grim warning against the practices of the Jesuits and bears the title “Foreign Conspiracy Against the Liberties of the United States”. It was originally published serially in the New York Observer under the signature of “Brutus”, pen name of Samuel F. B. Morse. This eminent American thought enough of his country’s welfare to risk his life for its safety; and how little his old publishing house has heeded that warning! They have sunk to the ignominy of lying for fear of those he warned against. When such conditions exist throughout America it can be understood why its end is near.

This book, whose warnings appear prophetic in the light of present events, refers to the Jesuit intrigue of the Papal powers in its title, “Foreign Conspiracy Against the Liberties of the United States.” Morse, who spent much time in Europe, learned how the Hierarchy hated the United States, how much they preferred the monarchies governing most of the Continent at that time, and how they denounced “North America” as “nursery of all these destructive principles, the revolutionary school for France and the rest of Europe”. Four Protestants of as many faiths endorsed the book in a letter that appears in the preface, and at least four editions were published.

From the railings against this country which Morse recounts, it appears certain that the Papacy has conspired to destroy this nation for more than a hundred years. This extreme hatred very likely dates from the time when the revolutionary spirit fired France in 1789 and the Hierarchy got such a setback as a result. All this was blamed upon America. Also explicitly named as hated was “Protestantism” “the enemy of good government”, and its “ally of Republicanism”. This clarifies the reason why Franco, a hundred years later, was knighted by the pope for smashing Republican Spain. Also appropriate in this connection are the words of Lafayette, declared a short time after the Revolutionary War: “American liberty can be destroyed only by the Popish clergy.”

A few more quotations are taken at random from Foreign Conspiracy Against the Liberties of the United States:

. . . Popery is the antagonist to our free system.

The secret plans, the real designs of the Jesuits may be confined to few bosoms, it is by no means necessary that the mass of the sect [that is, the mass of the Catholic population] should have any knowledge of the plot; for from the nature of their system they may be blind instruments of the few.

. . . Roman Catholics, as a sect, must be willing slaves of any despotic ecclesiastic [priest] that a foreign power [Rome] may see fit to send to this country to rule over them.

This makes plain the fact that no matter how good and honest may be the mass of the Catholic people, they have absolutely no effect upon nor any veto or other voice in turning the plans of the Catholic Autocracy. The Catholic Church system is a dictatorship. Those few who dissent are never heard, and more often silenced by murder. The persecution and violence heaped upon Jehovah’s witnesses indicates in language stronger than words the Catholic Church’s answer to opposition.

Samuel Morse evidently knew his danger from Rome when he wrote. His willingness to risk his life to warn his countrymen marks him as a supremely patriotic American. He would likely be one of Jehovah’s witnesses if he lived today; for they alone of all people continue to sound the warning against Romanism. It seems a dismal commentary upon our times, “men’s hearts failing” them for fear”. (Luke 21:26) that an American publisher would attempt to discredit this valiant warning:

“. . . The writer, entertaining these views, has deemed it an imperative duty, at any sacrifice, to warn his countrymen of a subtle enemy to the democracy of the country, and to conjure them, as they value their civil and religious institutions, to watch the Protean [changeable] shapes of Popery, to suspect and fear it most when it allies itself to our interests in the guise of friend. Mistrust . . . all that Popery does. . . .

Authenticity*

In order to crush in advance any denials of authenticity Consolation is publishing a series of photostatic copies (beginning in this issue, on pages 26 and 27) of Conspiracy Against the Liberties of the United States. Ordinarily many copies could be found in this country, as at least four editions were printed; but Jesuit cunning may have done away with most of them. The photostats were made of the New York Library copy which was seen there as late as Thursday, May 22, 1941.

Hatred of Jehovah’s witnesses

It is difficult to concentrate on the present alone when considering a large subject like the CRIMES OF THE JESUITS. There flash to mind events widely separated in time whose only connection is that they were perpetrated by Jesuits: the execution of a Jesuit for the murder of a French king; the horrible massacre of the Inca and Aztec Indians of Central America and South America by the Jesuit-inspired conquistadores, and the subsequent Inquisition set up there to convert to Catholicism; the assassination of President Lincoln, in which a monk failed, and a Jesuit-trained actor succeeded; the conspiracy against the French in which Alfred Dreyfus, a Jew, was falsely convicted, 1894, and exonerated in 1906, the purpose being to cause a rupture with Germany and give rise to an outburst of anti-Semitism, both of which were effected; the conviction of priests in Italy and England after the first World War for espionage against the Allies. These past events are important but to cast their shadow on this day.

Now the malevolence of the Jesuits is directed primarily against Jehovah’s witnesses. What they do not understand is that Jehovah’s witnesses are doing a work commanded by Jehovah, even though it appears “strange” to “Christendom”, and those who falsely claim the name of Christ. All the Jesuit intrigue has failed to stop His witnesses, and the Jesuits’ desperation increases.

How fitting are the words of Morse today!—“Watch the [changeable] shapes of Popery, to suspect it most when it allies itself to our interests in the guise of friend.” Jehovah’s witnesses have had the truth of this warning brought home in their case: The Jesuit Hierarchy, posing as the defenders of the United States against Nazism, had their agents denounce Jehovah’s witnesses as “fifth columnists”, and, without trial, to set upon them violently and ferociously. Of the outrages committed, says the American Civil Liberties Union in a publication of January, 1941, The Persecution of Jehovah’s witnesses, in the aptly expressive subtitle, these are “The record of violence against a religious organization unparalleled in America since the attacks on the Mormons”. In “the guise of friend” it is assaulting America’s truest friends! See Notanda, page 2.

In the Jesuit magazine entitled America, which is almost as great a misnomer as “Society of Jesus”, the reviling of American principles and of any and all who oppose the Hierarchy, with especial malignancy against the only Americans who expose them, continues with unabated fury. It will end only when Jehovah “shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place”. (Isaiah 28:17)—Elton Groves.

Blessings in Havana, Cuba

◆ The street work and public meetings are really becoming known here and the people are beginning to realize that the great Theocracy is here to stay and is filling the whole earth, including Cuba; and we are happy to have a part in such a grand work to Jehovah’s honor.

Having been giving public lectures each week in halls loaned by various clubs, lodges, etc., we began inquiring in a little town near by for permission to use the club house on Sunday; but the owners, being religious, refused it. So we worked the town anyway and invited the people to a vacant lot favorably located and put the transcription horn on top of the car, as we do not have a sound-car; and several attended. A church is in building at the site selected.

Last week we were working in a small town about fifteen miles from Havana, and one of the publishers played the phonograph for a cop and presented the literature, among which was a Judge Rutherford Uncovers Fifth Column. Then, about an hour later, as we were all in the car to come home this cop comes up and says that he has an order to bring us all in to the station; so in we go, all seven of us, with the cop riding the fender all the way to Havana! In the station we played the phonograph to 13 cops, two manifesting themselves as Catholic, one as Baptist, one as atheist, and the rest not at all. One of the Catholics nastily said, “How much did you say you sold this book for?” and when answered, he replied, “You can’t sell books here without a permit.” To this the Baptist cop, a very young kid, said, “If you’d spend 25c for one of those books on the Bible, instead of spending it on candles for some image made of stone and wood, it would be better.” The Catholic got very angry, replying that he could buy candles if he wanted to; which almost resulted in a fight, till another policeman pushed them apart. We were highly entertained at the expense of Satan’s sons.

We were informed that we’d have to wait for the captain; so wait we did. When he came, again we played “Enemies”, and he said, “There’s nothing against us there, but you’ll have to wait for the chief.” So again we waited, about an hour each time. It was five o’clock before he came, and we hadn’t eaten since morning and I was about to die of hunger, the tremors of my vitals shook the walls, almost. The chief, literally bursting with importance, glanced at the books, then tossed them aside with an expression, “And you caused me to waste my oh so valuable time on such as this!” He started to leave, after telling the one in charge to take our names and addresses.

Then up spoke the Catholic with, “But, sir, they also have a phonograph which they use.” The chief, squinting over his nose, says, “What’s that? a phonograph? Well, let’s see it.” Again the marvelous record “Enemies” began, and, since it doesn’t begin to sizzle for about two minutes, he got tired listening and said, “That is enough”; whereupon Papa’s little stooge says, “But hear the rest, sir”; but other more important duties (?) were calling, so he missed the fireworks, sad to say.

We finally got home and to supper, after the Catholic cop made us wait another hour while he called the station nearest our house to see if we really and truly lived there or not. Then the cop sent to investigate called back with the statement that there was no one home! Imagine! But how could we be, when we were in Station 14? Again we waited while he went again to investigate! I couldn’t help telling him that he’d find a little white dog named Chica and a little black cat named Pinocho in the patio, if he wanted to be sure.

One policeman was very nice, and, when he asked why I was in such a hurry to go home and I told him I was hungry, he was sending a boy to buy bananas, and I had a hard time telling him that they would spoil my supper.

Theocracy publishers, Havana, Cuba

While we waited I thought, “The representatives of two governments clash!—a great, just and righteous government of the great Theocrat and the abominable mimic theocracy of Satan; and many, many thanks to Jehovah that I and my house are representatives of Jehovah’s Theocracy.” They really had a warning, and were told so by one publisher upon the remark by the atheist that he didn’t believe in Christ because Christ was in heaven; to which the brother replied that Christ was also there in the station; and had him read Matthew 25:31, where Christ would divide the “sheep” from the “goats”; that Christ was at that moment dividing them by calling the Theocratic message to their attention. Thanks for the privilege of declaring the TRUTH.—Muriel and John Bourgeois, pioneers, Cuba.

Moscow, Idaho, Returns to U.S.A.

◆ Federal Judge C. C. Cavanah today declared Moscow’s handbill ordinance regulating the distribution of literature on downtown streets to be unconstitutional. The ordinance “strikes at the very foundation of freedom of the press”, the veteran jurist declared in overruling a motion that an action against the city be dismissed on grounds that the ordinance was constitutional.

“This is so clear to me, gentlemen, that it isn’t even involved,” the judge asserted, after citing several United States Supreme Court decisions and declaring that the ordinance runs counter to the Constitution of the United States.

Three members of Jehovah’s witnesses lodged in jail April 14 for violation of the ordinance and failure to pay fines were ordered released immediately after the opinion was read. They were George Narm, Mrs. Della Campbell and Marie Logan, all residents of Moscow. A fourth member, Carolyn Grenz, was released several days ago after serving out a smaller fine.

Weldon Schimke, former city attorney, during whose term of office the ordinance was enacted and who has represented the city in the case, advised the court that the city would not appeal the decision.

He said the Jehovah’s witnesses will be released “as soon as I can get to a telephone”.

Harve Phipps, Spokane, acted as counsel for the plaintiffs, Jehovah’s witnesses and the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, in the action to enjoin the city from enforcing the ordinance. He also submitted a brief prepared by Benjamin H. Kizer, Spokane attorney, for the American Civil Liberties Union of New York.

The ordinance was put into effect here last March with the explanation that it was aimed at controlling “distribution of subversive literature” on Moscow’s downtown streets. It required that an individual need secure permission from a Moscow police officer by saluting the American flag and pronouncing the oath of allegiance before selling or giving away printed matter.

Baptism at Boise, Idaho, Theocratic convention

Two pioneers in the interior of the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, parents of four little ones ranging in age from 1 to 7. They manage to devote their energies to the service of The Theocracy, at the same time fulfilling their earthly obligations to their children.

Only members of Jehovah’s witnesses were arrested for failure to comply with the regulation. According to their testimony, given at subsequent police court trials, their religion demands that they pledge allegiance “only to God”.

Declaring that the ordinance provided a “censorship on one engaged in distributing pamphlets”, Judge Cavanah said that “under this ordinance even a newsboy would have to obtain permission to sell papers”.

“It has never been regarded as inconsistent with civil liberties to grant to a city authority to impose a regulation in order to insure convenience, cleanliness, sanitation, preventing obstruction and safety of the people in the use of the public streets.”

He pointed out, however, that the city is not empowered to abridge the individual liberties offered by the Constitution to those who wish to speak, write, print or circulate information in an orderly fashion.—The Daily Idahoan, May 14, 1941.

Australia’s Backward Slip

◆ Sir—In the Daily Telegraph of January 17 we read that the Commonwealth of Australia and the Dominion of New Zealand have declared “Jehovah’s witnesses” an illegal organization on account of their pacifist tenets. In my opinion, the sect in question is in error. Nevertheless, I am filled with dismay and disgust by the action of these governments. All men have an inalienable right to worship God both individually and corporately according to the dictates of their conscience. No State has the right to interfere with them in doing so, thereby intruding into the sphere of religion and conscience and setting itself between God and souls. The action of these governments is pure totalitarianism. It is, in short, the very thing we profess to be fighting against—Hitlerism. In fact, to proscribe Jehovah’s witnesses was one of the early measures of the Nazi government, so that the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand are literally following in the Führer’s footsteps. It will avail nothing to win the material war against Hitler if he defeats us spiritually. British Christians, therefore, should combine to address a protest to the representatives of Australia and New Zealand in this country, and demand the withdrawal of this persecuting measure. To these governments, no less than to the Nazis, we must repeat Milton’s indignant words: “Dare ye for this adjudge the civil sword to force our consciences that Christ set free?”—Liberator, in London Guardian, January 31, 1941.

“Known and Read of All Men”

◆ One lady, a Polish refugee, told me how her brother had been in a concentration camp in Germany along with several of Jehovah’s witnesses, and how every morning they were brought before the camp superintendent and asked, “Do you accept Hitler or do you still want your Jehovah?” The answer was always the same; they preferred Him who is supreme; and the narrator said he had never seen a finer set of people.—Norman E. Walker, pioneer, England.

(To be continued) Kingdom Farms

SUNDAY afternoon June 1 was a happy day at Kingdom Farms. The occasion was the opening for inspection by neighbors and friends of the new building that has been in course of construction during the past year. Kingdom Farms are situated near South Lansing, on Highway 34. Last summer Kingdom Farms Association began construction of a building near the highway. Little was said about what was the purpose of the building, and there was much speculation by those who evidently knew nothing about it. The construction being practically completed, neighbors were invited to come Sunday afternoon at three o'clock June 1 and inspect it. Although there was no advertisement, except by word of mouth passed from one to another, between seven and eight hundred persons assembled there at the hour appointed. Among those present were noted professors and their wives from Cornell University, merchants from Ithaca and South Lansing, doctors, the sheriff, and many neighbors round about. The reception was pleasant and conducted in a very orderly manner and everybody seemed to be delighted. The building is 130 feet by 82 feet, consisting of a basement and three stories above the basement. It is constructed of cement reinforced with steel, and with face brick. The construction is very high-class. One of the best-known engineers of New York city, who does a great deal of engineering work for the Government, drew the plans and superintended the construction.

The visitors were admitted into the basement first, and, in brief, this is what they saw: On the left of the rear entrance the heating plant and drying room, the pressure tank, water supplies and storage place; on the right, the laundry, the lavatories, for the use of the men who work on the farm, and the rooms for the treatment of the sick, with modern equipment for that purpose. A stairway then leads up to the main hall or dining room. This room is 82 feet by 108 feet, with cement floor, painted and beautifully lighted. All the windows in the entire building are steel-framed and glass; likewise the door frames. Just off the dining room is a modernly equipped kitchen; on the opposite side, a sewing room, where the mending is done. This main room is to be used as a dining room, and a meeting hall for Bible study, Bible class instruction, and for the regular place of worship. In the front part of the building are the offices and a store, where will be kept a supply of general merchandise to be used by farmers or others round about who might need something in this line.

The two floors above are constructed entirely for bedchambers. There are two wings; this with an open airway between the wings, which makes every room in the house an outside room, far better ventilated than most of the rooms in the city. The airway between these two wings has a solid cement floor, which is waterproof, and in pleasant weather can be used as a place of recreation. On each floor there are bath and toilet rooms, both for males and for females, separate, of course.

As the audience entered many were heard to express themselves in pleasant surprise to see such a beautiful construction, plain yet airy and pleasant. It is certainly an ideal country place; and when the speaker of the occasion described the purpose of the building everyone could see how well it had been arranged. Kingdom Farms are owned by the WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY, a New York corporation which holds title and operates the place in the interest of Jehovah's witnesses. These witnesses are described by one of their number as men and women who are wholly devoted to Almighty God and His Kingdom, and, being witnesses for the name of Jehovah and His Kingdom, they are called Jehovah’s witnesses. It appears that they have come from all religious denominations, Catholic, Protestant and Jew, and united themselves in one purpose. The president of the WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY was present and extended a welcome to all those who had come, and made a brief speech, outlining the purpose of the Farms and the buildings. John Bogard, the superintendent of the Farms, presided and, in opening the meeting, said: “Friends, the prime mover for the improvement of this place is the president of the WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY, Judge Rutherford, and we are glad to have him present today to welcome you.”

Judge Rutherford then addressed the audience of practically 800 people, and the substance of his speech was this:

It is a real pleasure to welcome you here on this occasion. It is not my privilege to know all of you personally, but you are our neighbors, and a good neighbor is always to be desired. This farm and its building has called forth many idle and exaggerated expressions as to its purpose. Probably you have all heard of these expressions by those who are not informed, to the effect that we are here building a place for war purposes. If you will bear with me I shall be glad to tell you the real purpose for the erection of this structure. I assure you on the outset, it is built for a good purpose, with the hope of doing good to all as we have opportunity, and to do evil to no one.

American Freedom

Kingdom Farms, and this structure, are owned and operated by persons who believe in God and who are wholly devoted to God and His kingdom. The early settlers of America left England to brave the hardships of a new country in order that they might find a place where they could worship God without hindrance and freely exercise their conscience. Those early settlers believed in God and in Christ, and believed that the Bible is God’s Word of truth, given as man’s real, true and correct guide. They proceeded to build up on that basis. As they progressed they incorporated in the fundamental law of the territory or states, which they organized, and finally in the national government, the principles of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of worship of God according to the dictates of one’s conscience. Such have been the fundamental principles of America from then till now. At that time almost all people believed in God and the Bible. Today there are very few, comparatively, who believe in Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ as the Redeemer, and the Bible as God’s Word of truth. Amongst those who do believe this are the ones who constructed this building. Each and every one on this farm, and who has had to do with it, is wholly devoted to Almighty God and his kingdom under Christ Jesus, the Redeemer of mankind. I remind you that when the Lord Jesus was on earth He stressed the importance of the Kingdom, and He said to His followers who sat by Him on the mountainside: ‘Henceforth, when you pray, always pray to your Father in heaven, and pray for the coming of God’s kingdom, that His will may be done on earth, as it is done in heaven.’ True Christians have been sincerely praying that prayer since, and have looked forward to and hoped for the coming of the kingdom of God. It is entirely in keeping, then, with the prayer of the Lord Jesus that we should name this place Kingdom Farms, because all connected therewith are devoted to His kingdom, and not only have prayed for the coming of that kingdom, but welcome its coming.

Almighty God knew the end from the beginning; and while He concealed that from men He caused His prophecies to be written and recorded in the Bible, promising that it should be understood in due time, and now in these latter days has brought about facts making clear the meaning of His prophecies. For many years past Jehovah’s witnesses have been diligently studying prophecies and also diligent in trying to do the will of God.

Jehovah foretold the coming of Christ the King, and this took place in 1914. God foretold that from and after a marked period in the Scriptures, which is A.D. 1918, that trouble would increase upon the earth and would continue to grow worse until the final climax at Armageddon. From 1914 until that time is known in the Scriptures as the transition period, in which the kingdom of God is coming in and the kingdom of the wicked one Satan is passing out. It would be expected that Satan the enemy would be opposed to God's kingdom and would induce all people to oppose it; and that is exactly what has been going on and is still going on. It has been the purpose of Jehovah's witnesses to sound the warning to the people, calling their attention to the fact that the troubles in the world are due to the machinations of Satan and his associated demons and that their only means of escape is by taking their stand on the side of the kingdom of the Lord. It is needless for me to tell this company present that the world is in a terrible state. Europe has gone mad and is being rapidly destroyed. Many other nations are following blindly in the same lead.

“Face the Facts”

At London, England, in 1938, I addressed a large audience at Royal Albert Hall, London, on the subject “FACE THE FACTS”, and pointed out to the British people that Nazism, Fascism, aided and supported by a great religious organization, would overrun the continent of Europe and its purpose would be to destroy the British Empire. Not many people of England accepted that statement at the time, but today many thousands of them see exactly those things are coming to pass. That same year, in Paris I addressed a large audience and called attention to the same facts. In Switzerland I likewise called attention to what was coming to pass. There are thousands of good people now in these countries who are diligently serving Jehovah God, and who are witnesses for Jehovah, proclaiming His name and His kingdom, and this would aid and comfort many sufferers. At my instance our friends in London purchased two farms about forty miles out from the city, and these farms have been operated since to raise food to feed many who need help, and buildings have been erected on them as a place of refuge, and many have been served there. In Switzerland also our friends acquired two farms, which have served as a refuge for many who have fled from Austria and Czechoslovakia, and a few that have escaped from the terrible conditions in Germany. We had acquired property in Germany, and built that up for the aid of the people, and also in Czechoslovakia and Poland, but the Nazis have made it impossible for anyone who serves Almighty God to use these properties. In Australia and in other places Jehovah's witnesses have likewise taken a similar course.

A few years ago this farm where we now are was offered for sale. It was purchased. At the time several buildings for dwelling purposes were already here, which have been occupied, and, seeing from the Scriptures what is coming, and knowing that great trouble is due to America, as well as other countries, consecrated men and women believed it to be entirely proper that we should here attempt to do something to take care of those who are unable to take care of themselves. So a little less than a year ago we set about to erect this present structure. You will note that it is well built, that it is an airy place; although plain, it is substantial. This room in which we are assembled will be used as a general dining room and a meeting room, where we will study the Bible and serve God. You will note here on my left a modernly equipped kitchen. In the front is a store, where we will have some general merchandise, which we will furnish our friends without any hope of making money, but only for accommodation, expecting to receive the cost of our products. In the wings of the building, in the upper stories, are bedrooms, equipped for the comfort of those who may be housed here. I want you to go through this building, and you will see that the rumors about ammunition and guns are entirely without foundation. You will find that this building is erected for the comfort of those who may need comfort. About the first thing that many will ask is, “Where did you get the money?” Let me assure you that the money for this building and the farm was furnished by the unsolicited and willing, voluntary contributions of men and women, given out of their own substance, because they love God and His kingdom, and wish to give some outward evidence of their love and devotion to His kingdom. Every effort put forth in the construction of this building has been done, not by hired help, but by men who are wholly devoted to the Kingdom. They have worked, receiving therefor their food and a place to sleep, and, those who needed it, the small amount of ten dollars per month for incidental expenses. Therefore the building has been erected with the least possible expense. The time will come, in the very near future, when it will be necessary to take care of refugees, those who really need help, and we hope to do our part here. Of course, this building and farm is entirely too small to take care of a great number, but this building will stand as a monument to the name of Almighty God and His King, and testify to the fact that the men and women who built it have faith in God, and in Christ Jesus His King, and who know that the Bible is His Word of truth. We expect this building to render good to many; and it may be that some of you as our neighbors will find it necessary to come sometime for help, and we shall be glad to extend it to you in any way we can. We are not here to make money; we do not expect to make any money; we only hope to be able to pay our legitimate expenses. The corporation that owns this property is so organized that no officer or director can receive any pecuniary profit. None, therefore, can make any money out of it. If any profit is derived, the entire amount goes back into the organization for further improvements.
