In Brief
Comforting Mourners
♦ On my first call the woman said: “I am a Catholic, and I do not want you to call again.” But not forgetting the apostle Paul, who had once been an ardent religionist, I approached the house the next time in the territory. To my surprise, the woman said: “Well, it’s you again.,I thought I told you not to come here any more. Anyway PH take that book {"The Kingdom Is at Hand”}, but I do not want you to bother me.” One cold day I decided to make another attempt to speak to this woman. When I rang the doorbell she stepped into the hall.but would only speak to me through the glass. I was wearing a kerchief and indicated that I could not hear what she was saying. She opened the door and invited me to step inside. Then it was that I could tell she was in trouble, and shortly she began to explain to me how her mother had died just a few days before. One thing that bothered her was that her little boy wanted to know where his grandmother was and she told him “Cone to heaven”. But she did not seem to believe this her-, self, and then confessed that she knew very little about the Bible and would like me to conduct a study in her home so that she would know the truth. It was near lunch time and I was invited to stay and have lunch with her and the boy, who would soon be home from school. To this I readily consented, and shortly the boy arrived. “Mother, whose rubbers are those?” he asked. “There is a young lady in the front room who I want you to go and speak to. I told you a lie the other day when I said grandmother had gone to heaven. Go and speak to her and she will tell you from the Bible where your grandmother is.” Now I have a book study at this home, , and once more it has been demonstrated that the Lord blesses persistent effort in accord with Theocratic instructions.— Canadian Kingdom publisher.

Replacing Republics with Dictatorships
IT IS the ambition of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, which is itself a selfperpetuating dictatorship, to do away . with every republic, and put in instead dictators that will do its will. When dictators disappear and republics take their place, it is always a time of trial for the meh that manage Catholic affairs. This was illustrated in the remarks of Cardinal Faulhaber, made to the Munich Catholic Congress in August, 1922. Speaking of the flight of Kaiser Wilhelm to Holland, and the rise of the German Republic, he said of the honest effort of the German people to govern themselves, “The revolution was perfidy and high treason and will go down in history forever with the mark of Cain.” Cardinal Faulhaber was never against Hitler. When the paper-hanger was launching his ship of destruction of that same republic, the cardinal said, “We .are fighting for our rights within the Nazi regime and not against it.”
In a similar spirit of hatred for republics, and love of kings and dictators, the German bishops, at the height of Hitler’s career, sent him a message expressing their “sincere readiness to cooperate to the best of their abilities”. In 1935 the bishops instructed the people of the Saar to vote unanimously for the return to Germany under Hitler, and they did so; in 1936, when Hitler invaded Spain the bishops congratulated him on his fight against the Spanish Republic. In January, 1937, they repeated the compliment and- promised their aid. In the summer of 1940 they announced tltat after Hitler had gained his objectives there would be special ceremonies of^ gratitude to the German troops and ex-* pressions of loyalty to Hitler. In the autumn of 1943 the bishops stated that Hit-ler.’s war was a heroic struggle to protect the homeland from Bolshevism. Instead, it was merely a part of the Vatican plan to grab control of the world. Hitler was unable to fulfill his mission.
Particularly rank wTas the pastoral letter of all the German Catholic bishops on the opening of World War II:
In this decisive hour we admonish our Catholic soldiers to do their duty in obedience to the Fuehrer and to be ready to sacrifice their whole individuality. We appeal to the Faithful to join in ardent prayers that Divine Providence may lead this war to blessed success.
Pope and Hitler Worked Together
In the spring of 1933 the German Government and the Vatican concluded their concordat. Four years later, in the spring of 1937, when he was getting ready for World War II, the then pope issued his encyclical “Mit Brennender Sorge” so as to keep Hitler toeing the line. The Spanish war had then been under way less than a year. The pope was greatly interested in this, and it is common knowledge that without Catholic Hitler, Catholic Mussolini and Catholic politicians in Britain and America (or at least politicians susceptible to Catholic pressure) the Spanish Republic would be in existence to this day.
It is well known that the two men that did most to put the concordat across were the present pope and Franz von
Papen, one of the defendants at Nuremberg. For his share von Papen received the highest Papal decoration as “Defender of the Faith”. Koeves, in his biography of von Papen, said: “The Concordat was a great victory for Hit-'•_ler. It gave him the first moral support *he received from the outer world.”
After Hitler’s inauguration von Papen declared: “This is the order which is also approved by the pope . . • the new regime which is anti-liberal and antidemocratic must enjoy our complete and unrestricted confidence.”
Nothing can change the fact that von Papen is a pious Catholic. So are’ or were Seyss-Inquart, Degrelle, Laval, Petain, Anton Pavelich, Tiso, Dollfuss, Seipel, Hitler, Thyssen, Salazar, Suener and Coughlin, nor can the fact be erased that when Hitler was on the toboggan, headed for destruction, and the draft for the German people’s Home Guard army was made, the only members of the clergy, Protestant or Catholic, that were exempted were tfie Jesuits, whose child Hitler -was.
A secular paper, published in London, caustically observes that.:
The Vatican remained silent when the victims were being hustled into German murder vans. The Vatican remained silent when the corpses were removed from the ovens of Maidenek and Oswieeim. The Vatican remained silent when the rocket bombs fell on London, remained silent while millions of innocents were murdered, remained silent while Hitler, applied his doctrine of “divide and destroy” to entire nations. But when the attempt on Hitler’s life failed, the Vatican broke its silence. Without delay, it sent a message of congratulation on Hitler’s miraculous salvation.
Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia
: When Germany collapsed it was natural that Russia should control the eastern part, where her troops were in possession, while the other Allies would get the west. It -fell to the United States to receive the most Catholic part, and therefore the most difficult section. Its first appointments in Catholic Bavaria were characterized by the New Republic as “turning over the Bavarian people to . the Vatican and political reaction”. The United States zone in Germany, with its 13,308,000, is estimated to be 53 percent Catholic; the British zone, with its 22,650,000, is estimated at 42 percent Catholic; the Russian zone, with its 24,234,000, is estimated at 15 percent Catholic.
Four months, after the New Republic’s charges, seemed to have changed matters, for when the Catholic bishops met' at Fulda, as they always do in August, they got “let down” in good shape. The world’s least: competent advisers, they composed a letter to General Eisenhower making suggestions as to how his branch of the work could be better done, and, according to a copyrighted dispatch in the Pittsburgh Press, the “military government refused to transmit the letter and returned it to the bishops”.
As to Austria, it is a matter of history that when Cardinal Innitzer, of Vienna, knew that Hitler was about to seize his country he ordered the church bells to ring out a greeting to the Nazis and sent a letter to the Nazi gauleiter assuring him of his wholehearted cooperation, and that of the other Austrian bishops, and wound up his letter with the words “Heil Hitler”.
It is quite evident who betrayed Czechoslovakia. The “Reverend Father” Tiso and Adolf Hitler split the country in half, with Tiso himself in charge of the eastern half and responsible for the murder of thousands of Jews done to death by the Hlinka guards. Captured by U. S. troops, Catholic bishops urge his release from prison. Hitler was pleased that 10,000 church bells were turned into cannon for his use. This is a new role for church bells: they ordinarily awaken people, but in this new “service” they put persons to sleep, in death.
Four months after the war was over the Czechoslovaks raided a monastery at Tepla, arrested the abbot and 14 monks, and took over two radio transmitters, twQ field telephones and a quantity of munitions.' The monastery had been a center of Nazi activity for years, and had kept in touch with their comrades in Bavaria. If the Catholic bishops at Fulda want to tell other people how to run things, why don’t they run their own crowd properly?
Mussolini and Italy
Mussolini’s invasion of Ethiopia had much to do with starting World War II. He himself was described by the pope as “a man sent by Providence, devoid of liberal prejudices”. This was another way of saying that Mussolini was a man without principle, which is just what he was. Cardinal Schuster was so pleased with the gangster assault upon Ethiopia that he said grandiloquently and falsely, “On the fields of Ethiopia the Italian flag carries in triumph the Cross of Christ, breaks the chains of the slaves, and makes straight the way of the missionaries of the Gospel.”
The pope recently commented on an Italian law limiting the political activity of priests : “The Catholic Church will never allow itself to be closed within the four wails of a temple. Separation of religion from life, or of the church from the world, is contrary to the Christian and Catholic idea.” Maybe, instead of this judgment of the pope, you might like to have a word from your Savior on the same subject:
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as 1 am not of the world.—John 15:19; 17:14-16.
Despite all its stubbornness the Vatican has to do some yielding. Thus a dispatch from Rome to the New York Times, discussing the fact that six months after the war ended the Fascists still had a large share in running things in Italy, had this remark: “The Vatican had its own little purge today when Archbishop Angelo Bartolomasi, head of all chaplains in the Italian Army, was forced to resign after violent press attacks accusing him of Fascist sympathies.”
Noteworthy Dispatches About France
It is perfectly obvious to every student of France’s affairs that the real reason why Hitler took such an easy walk through France, and clear down to the Pyrenees, was that he had the backing and active assistance of the French clergy. There nowr follow two dispatches. The first of these is from the radical New York Labor Action of October 30, 1944, and tells the truth just as it is:
Immediately after the Germans ■were driven out of Paris, one o£ the first demands of the French underground was addressed to the Vatican, asking for the removal of the archbishop of Paris, Emanuel Celestine Cardinal Suhard.
Since the fall of France, although many of the lower clergy aided the underground, the cardinal and his bishops worked openly with the German fascists and their agents, Petain and Laval, The cardinal aided in organizing the Vichy troops to be used against the underground, and was on the most friendly and confidential terms with the German high command. When thousands of Frenchmen were forcibly taken to Germany to slave for the Hitler wrar machine, he showed his approval by assisting the Germans even more than in the past. The cardinal and Petain worked closely on many matters of state, and in many of the Vichy governmental offices in France and abroad the cardinal had one of his bishops assisting the Vichyites.
The feeling against the cardinal and his bishops is so strong that on August 26, when de Gaulle was to attend services at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, he notified the cardinal and the Rev. Beaussart, Archbishop of Notre Dame, that under no conditions must they appear at the services. The message was taken
*to the cardinal by Father Bruckberger, a Dominican priest who is a member of the underground. Bruckberger, in an interview with t Helen F Kirkpatrick of the Chicago Daily * News, told her that the cardinal answered “I do not understand how the new government can begin in this anti-religious way”.
The Vatican understands that if the French people can force the resignation of the cardinal and many of his bishops, the whole question of the Vatican’s collaboration with fascism will begin to come out into the open. So for that reason Archbishop Spellman‘of New York was sent to France, and he, as a representative of the United States, tried to use pressure to keep the cardinal at his post.
Archbishop Spellman’s role during the past year has become quite obvious. On his trips to Europe he spends all of his time at the Vatican and visiting Franco in Spain. Although his post is military vicar of the United States armed forces, he does not visit many of the army posts nor do we ever see him touring the camps in the Pacific. He appears at the Vatican and in the cities where the higher clergy is in trouble with the people for supporting Hitler.
These attempts to whitewash the Vatican and the higher clergy are tied up, of course, with the attempts to keep the workers of Europe from cleaning house of all collaborators in industry and the government as well as in the higher clergy. Because when the house cleaning begins the Vatican knows that a real good job will be done. -
Compare the above statement of facts with the following untruthful and hypocritical statement sent out by the Religious News Service, published in the New York Times 18 days later, to offset it. Without a reasonable doubt, it was written by a Jesuit and intended to pull the wool over the eyes’ of Americans so that they would draw the erroneous conclusion that France is full of Protestants, and that'the priests there are not politicians merely, but are really "ministers”.
Paris (Religious News Service)—Liberation of France is creating a new phenomenon in social life—participation of clergymen in French politics. Priests and pastors are serving on local liberation committees throughout the freed areas and are holding other civil posts of importance. They are called upon to exorcise moral authority in settling disputes, and many liberation committees led by pastors have been able to calm passions and avoid violence. Inclusion of Protestant and Catholic ministers on committees of liberation was first urged in 1943 ,by the French Provisional Committee in Algiers in recognition of the part played by the clergy in the resistance movement.
Spain and Its Little Dictator
At the time when Hitler was pushing along through southern Russia toward the shores of the Caspian sea, an Allied observer visited Franco, in his private apartment. He saw on .his desk an autographed picture of Pope Pius XII, and on either side of it were inscribed photographs of their fellow religionists, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. A year la-' ter, the picture of the pope was the only one that remained.
The pope makes no bones of his affection for the man that perjured himself and betrayed the Spanish Republic. He thinks that was just right. On November 19, 1945, he broadcast a nine-minute address in Spanish to the Spanish people and at the end'of'it extended a papal benediction to Franco, and to his political and religious comrades.
Professor Harold J. Laski, of the British government, is one of the few politicians that have the courage to mention the Roman Catholic Hierarchy as at the bottom of Spain’s troubles. Speaking by radio from Britain to a Madison Square Garden rally he taunted the Roman Catholic Church in Spain as desiring to remain a rich monopolist at the expense of mass poverty; he taunted the statesmen of Britain and America with their fear of the hostility of the Vatican if they dared support a Spanish Republic, and he put th.e heat on both kinds of hypocrites by saying:
Our peoples didn’t make the immense sacrifices of this war to perpetuate either a tyranny like that of Franco, or an unedifying mythology like a Vatican-sponsored King of Spain trying hastily to learn the vocabulary of the Four Freedoms while making it painfully evident that he finds no meaning in the words. It is time that the democratic powers become the trustees of democracy. It is time that they regarded their trusteeship not as a thing of which they’re ashamed but as a thing of which they can be proud.
The Hierarchy was greatly incensed at the Laski broadcast. It does not like to have people tell the truth about Spanish conditions. A Catholic Englishwoman, Mavis Bacea, went to Spain to see conditions for herself. When she saw too much she was thrown into a concentration camp, where she stayed eight months. While in there, she states, she saw 20 pious Catholic guards torturing the breasts of a nude girl with lighted cigarettes and saw pregnant women relieved by abortion so that they could get on with their appointed tasks. Why does not the pope mention some of these things in his broadcasts to Spain? He lacks the intestines necessary.
Chile and Colombia
On May 12, 1945, the “Reverend Father” Jose Maria Caro, archbishop of the Catholic Church at Santiago, Chile, seems to have been connected in some way with a mass held for Benito Mussolini at the Catholic Temple of National Gratitude. Four persons were arrested and several were injured in disorders that followed. The archbishop seems to have been rewarded for his Fascist sympathies. A year and five days passed away and a -wireless came through to the New York Times that Caro Rodpiguez, archbishop of Santiago, Chile, has been made a cardinal. It doubtless is the same gentleman, the difference in surnames following a Spanish custom of sometimes indicating the name of the mother of a distinguished personage.
The pope seems to apprehend that an educational campaign is under way in South America. In a broadcast to a Catholic congress at Bogota, speaking in Spanish and of Jesus he said:
Let us ask him to preserve the entire unalterable sacred deposit of your faith without allowing it to be contaminated by contact with a propaganda, as audacious as it is insidious, which would now wish to transform into a missionary country a people which . . . count four centuries of irreproachable Christianity.
Philippine Islands and Mexico
Bishops sometimes get caught when carrying on their seditious work against republican forms of government. In-its issue of March 12,1946, the Des Moines Tribune contained the following Associated Press dispatch:
Manila, Philippines (AP)—A Catholic bishop of Manila was among hundreds of Filipinos accused of treason in people’s court Tuesday as special prosecutors rushing to meet a March 15 deadline brought total indictments to more than 3,400. Cesar Maria Guerrero, auxiliary bishop, was accused of placing his imprimatur on a seditious Japanese-sponsored magazine, of urging intermarriages with Japanese and of praying for Nipponese victory. ■
As late as December 19, 1945, Lotn-bardo Toledano, Mexican labor leader, stated that on December 4 he had submitted to the Mexican government exact data and convincing proofs that the Sinarquist Union, a Catholic organization, was receiving smuggled arms from the United States, with a view to putting Ezequiel Padilla, a candidate for the presidency of Mexico, into office by force of arms. If thus placed in office he would, of course, be merely a dictator, subservient to those who placed him.
United States of America
In Fact, in its issue of February 11, 1946, has the following as its leading headlines: “(Copyright; Exclusive) Suppressed Dept, of Justice Document First Evidence Father Coughlin Was Paid '-Nazi Agent.” The story occupies the entire issue of that courageous publication, issued by George Seldes and published at 25 Astor Place, New York.
It is less than seven years since Coughlin’s Christian Front conspired to grab the United States government. The Brooklyn leader Cassidy, with others of the gang, was booked to blow up the United States Custom House, the General Post Office and the Federal Reserve Bank, their . thought being that they would cause conditions here to become similar to those then prevailing in Ger-% many, where a demented paper-hanger, ' backed by the “Church”, really thought that he could grab the world. When the FBI investigated the Christian Front outfit they found a number of arsenals containing bombs, rifles, ammunition, powder, dynamite and arms stolen from the arsenals of the National Guard, but the gang went free. Of course, since the discovery of the atomic bomb, all that stuff looks like the playthings of a child not yet permitted outside of the nursery, but it was serious enough in 1939-1940.
We shall have to wait to see, but others besides ourselves have noted the strange, foreboding fact that the institution which most loudly claims to represent Christ in the earth is the one that is most persistently devoted to suppressing democracies, and has even taught little children to think that it is a mQrtal «in to be a liberal, i.e., to have regard for the rights of the common people, the poor, to whom Jesus said He was specially sent.
In a special dispatch to the Buffalo Evening News the columnist Edgar Ansel Mowrer inquired whether, if Roman Catholics should become a majority, they would permit himself and other dissenting minorities the full exercise of all the rights which the Roman Catholic minority (15 percent of the population) now enjoys. We can tell Mr. Mowrer that the answer to his question is emphatically No. All they desire, according to their own oft-repeated statements, is to get in full control and they would absolutely kill anybody that would dare write as Mr. Mowrer writes. Here is what he said:
In Italy I watched my former acquaintance, Achille Hatti, as Pope Pius support Fascism against the liberal Italian monarchy, suppress the Catholic democratic Partite Popolare to please Mussolini and receive in exchange a concordat, a restoration of temporal power and a considerable sum of money. The Vatican condemnation of Fascism came only some years later. In Berlin in 1932 and 1933 I watched with horror the democratic Catholic Center Party slowly abate its resistance to the Nazis, with Msgr. Kaas, its titular head, yielding to arguments from Rome until the final capitulation to Hitler. In Spain, in 1936, I spoke with Spanish clergymen who outlined with indignation the pressure they were under “from above” to support the Fascist usurper, Francisco Franco. And again, in France, in 1940, support of the anti-Republican forces by a large section of the Catholic Hierarchy was visible and avowed. These instances, I submit, were too systematic to be accidental. The Vatican was supporting Fascism against democracy. ’
Up to the Neck in Clover
♦ If as alleged, Rexford Guy Tugwell, governor of Puerto Rico, lives in regal splendor in a castle upon which $500,000 was spent in one year for repairs alone; and on top of that has, at government expense, eight automobiles at his disposal, and thirty household servants, and his necessary household expenses; and on top of that has a salary of $10,000 a year, then it would seem that he has fallen into clover up to his neck. He is generally regarded as a good administrator. .
If all this is true, as alleged, he seems
to have been more clever than General Jorge Ubico, president of Guatemala, who lost his job because he boosted his salary up to $150,000 a year. Despite that, he was considered a capable administrator, developing highways and airports, fostering primary education, and eliminating some graft and some crime. Jie held his job as president for 13 years and 5 months.
Parochial Training Resultants
THREE parishioners of St. Dominick’s
Roman Catholic Church, New York city, attended mass, omat least the first part of the mass, then slipped out and into the priest’s garage and stole from his car his radio and a clock worth $100. One of the lads was 16, and the two others were each 20 years of age. These boys had been improperly educated. It is wrong to steal, even from a priest, and the boys should have been taught that. The London Catholic Herald was indiscreet enough to boast that in the last fourteen years out of 108 electrocutions of murderers in the Huntsville, Texas, state prison, 87 went out of this life Roman Catholics. That is a little more than 80 percent in a state in which less than 10 percent of the people are Catholic. This seems sufficiently clear as to the wrong education the’se boys received.
Men and boys that have been parochially educated have strange ideas about things. Thus the Associated Press had a copyrighted dispatch in the Corpus Christi, Texas, Times having reference to some goings on in San Mateo, Mozo-quilpan village, Mexico, reading:
Catholic residents of the village in near-by Mexican state were summoned by the unaccustomed tolling of the bells of their church. When they gathered, unidentified persons incited them to attack the homes of local evangelists, members of a Protestant sect. The demonstrators dragged numerous evangelists into the street and beat and stoned them. Police authorities quickly restored order. No arrests were reported.
This all seems regular. The bird with his collar turned backwards that rang the bell and incited the mob is unidenti-tied, but the mob does his will and there are no arrests. The same system was used at St. Bartholomew’s massacre, and always before and always afterwards.
Occasionally there is a slip and news gets out about the priests that, if the system w’ere perfect, would not be permitted. Here is one that appeared in the Scranton Times:
Priest and Nurse Are Found Dead in Apartment in West
Los Angeles, Nov. 18 (U.P.)— Police chemists today analyzed capsules found in an apartment beside the bodies of the Rev.' Gustavo Gonzales, twenty-nine, Catholic priest, and Isabel I Jem an, thirty-six, nurse. Both appeared to be poison victims, officers said. Eunice Hager, nurse and friend of Miss Hernan, told police Miss Ucman telephoned her asking her to come to the apartment immediately for an emergency. The priest was dead and the nurse dying when she arrived, Miss Hager said. There were three glasses near by, two containing ginger ale, and a number of capsules. An uninailed letter written by Miss Ucman said she and the priest were married secretly four years ago at Mexico City. They met at Los Angeles General Hospital where she was employed and he was making sick calls, the letter said. The priest wms an assistant at St. Vibiana’s Cathedral.
The Public School Wrecking Department ♦ It is very interesting that the wrecking of public schools has become a considerable industry; also, that no parochial schools are ever wrecked; also that the names and religions of the boys doing the wrecking are concealed from the public; also that parochial pupils
have done immense damages to Protestant churches and Jewish synagogues. It all hangs together beautifully.
On a Sunday night in the summer of 1944, three youths broke into a public school in the Bronx, smashed glass in doors, poured ink and glue on books, '* tore the principal’s record books, and * took a fire axe and demolished four new typewriters, besides several filing cabinets and book cases. Estimated damages, $2,000. Eight months later, three nine-year-old boys broke into a public school in the East New York section of Brooklyn, and they were not students of the public school which they destroyed. In 21 classrooms they hacked desks and other furniture, smashed window panes, mutilated pictures, set small fires and chopped the keys and wires of a'grand piano. Estimated total damages, $5,000. Who put them up to it? Who?
Saint Thomas Out for the Long Green (?)
CERTAINLY 'Saint Thomas the Apostle’, if you can believe “The Messenger” put out by his church in Kansas City, is not in the religious business for his health. The first remark is about the bingo party and drawing; that smacks of money. The third remark is about the sale of tickets in the parish; that also smacks of money. The fifth remark is also about the sale of tickets, and the remark itself states that it was a “financial success”. The seventh remark says of the work of the bingo ticket sellers, “About $400 will remain after expenses are paid.” The next item advertises, “The next event, Fall Card Party in November.” Thus, out of the first nine items in the church paper six have a financial aspect; for it is reasonably certain that I plenty of money will change hands at the card party.
There is no information at hand as to ' just how much “Saint Thomas” charges for masses now. When he w’as on earth he did not know anything about them; neither did anybody else; for they are not mentioned in the Scriptures. But the next item says, and you can be sure there was money in the back of the head of the man who wrote the appeal, “In yotir charity pray for the repose of the soul of James Shea and Ed Mason." Looking ahead in the paper it appears that for James Shea masses w’ere sold to two families, for delivery on Monday and Friday. James is stone dead, and the money which the Girten and Broil families paid for these masses is worse than thrown away. The Ed Mason masses were sold to five different groups, for delivery on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. The five groups also paid for something that is absolutely worthless.
The little paper explains that “St. Thomas Church needs a new set of Black Vestments, Chasuble and Dalmatics. Perhaps you may be thinking of a memorial gift in honor of your deceased parents or relatives”. That has a money ring to it.
It has often been noticed that although Catholics comprise only one-seventh of .the population of the United States, yet they have a great share of the orphan asylums. It was Mark Twain that noticed that a seemingly natural arrangement ■was a monastery on one hill, a convent on the next one, and an orphans’ home in between. Anyway, “Saint Thomas” asks for $350 toward the orphans’ building fund.
The paper doesn’t say how much is necessary to g^et a “Plenary Indulgence”, but gives this information:
Do you know (1) there is a -Plenary Indulgence attached to making the stations of the croSS; (2) An additional Plenary Indulgence applicable to the souls in purgatory when you make them on the day you receive Holy Communion. (When you gain a Plenary Indulgence it means that all temporal pun-
isliment due to sin is removed from the soul.) This is a wise investment—it benefits yourself and also the souls in Purgatory.
Inasmuch as there is no such place as "Purgatory”, all the money that is taken in to keep people from staying there too long is all clear velvet. And, to tell the truth, it does not sound like Thomas, but like the one mentioned in "Ezekiel 28:18:
Thou hast defiled thy. sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shaft be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
The Foremen Are Human Also
SOMEBODY is always discovering something new7, and it seems that Robert H. Keys, who used to be a foreman, has discovered the fact, and announced it, that foremen are human, the same as other workers. The National Labor Board didn't seem to have that idea, according to the columnist Peter Edson, but they probably have it by now.
According to Mr, Edson, Mr. Keys is young, married, well-educated, gentlemanly, grammatical, and industrious, and Edson goes on:
Jie was, he says, sick and tired of seeing good foremen in the Detroit area called into the office, handed a check for a couple weeks’ pay and summarily fired. Jie was tired, too, of seeing the ways in which labor was sometimes kicked around, and of the ways some labor didn’t give management a good day’s work.
It is always best to get out of the way of a young man with an idea. Mr. Keys thought it would be well to get the foremen together, and so he organized the Foremen’s Association of America, and has already made history with it.
Did you notice that when John L. Lewis wanted to raise the wnges of the soft coal workers, the mine foremen wmre placed in the very center of the whole controversy?
Looting the Libraries
BECAUSE a German soldier was shot in a near-by street, the Royal Society Library in Naples was burned to the ground. Because each bookplate in the Louvain library showed the burning of the.uni versify in World War I, the whole 900,000 books in the library were burned in World War II. And, for no reason at all, the Jewish Theological Seminary in Lublin, together with its books, was burned. Sixty to seventy percent of all Polish libraries were destroyed, or their contents, or selections therefrom, were carried elsewhere. The libraries of Russia were 'winnowed of their best books. The same was done with between 500 and 600 libraries in Yugoslavia, with 411 in Czechoslovakia, and similar ransackings JULY 17, 1MB
in Greece, Luxembourg and Belgium.
Jehovah’s witnesses stand for free education of those who are being destroyed for lack of knowledge, and so they resented all this, as also the seizure of a fifth of world art, found hidden among Nazi loot, in 530 secret hiding places in Germany. The Toronto Daily Star had this to say7 in its issue of June 2, 1945j under the engaging title “Bible Students Save Art”. What United States paper, tied hand and foot by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, would have either the honesty7 or the courage to give Jehovah’s witnesses such notice?
A collection of 25 to 30 tapestries and 50 pictures looted from Holland by Himmler and re-looted by liberated Russian and Polish
slave laborers, has been recovered through the efforts of German “Bible Students” who spent six years in prison for their religious beliefs, stated Lieut.-Col. Geoffrey F. Webb, British chief of monuments, fine arts and archive sections of supreme headquarters at Paris.
These Dutch treasures had been installed in a. castle at Wewelsburg that had been used *by Himmler as a sort of finishing school for his Black Guards. The freed slaves raided the castle, making off with the treasures.
Five members of the International Bible Students’ Union, who had been imprisoned in a tiny barbed-wire enclosure near by since 1939, appealed to the Russians to return these “treasures of mankind” and stood guard until British troops arrived. Before they left Himmler’s elite guards had set fire to the castle, evidently to prevent the return of the treasures to their rightful owners.
Why Sunday Schools Have Failed
RELIGIOUS leaders have expressed great concern over the fact that Sunday school attendance has fallen off considerably during the last two decades. Comparison between statistics of 1944 and 1928 show that enrollment dropped about 4,000,000 in the Protestant Sunday schools. A candid examination of both the origin and present-day purpose of Sunday schools wdll show that the causes for this trend are not superficial, hut are rooted in the system’s very history and foundation.
If Sunday schools were of divine origin and arrangement, and had God’s approval, then surely something would be written in the Bible concerning the same. But, shocking though the news may be to honest believers in the system, still the fact remains that nowhere in the Sacred Record is reference or inference made to an institution like a Sunday school as we know it today. It was centuries after the canon of the Bible was completed with the falling asleep of the apostles that Sunday schools came into existence, and therefore it is necessary to refer to secular history, which is rather hazy on the subject.
The Encyclopedia Americana says that Carlo Borromeo, a cardinal of th6 Roman Catholic Church who lived from 1538 to 1584, .“may also be regarded as the founder of the modern Sunday school,” As to the Protestant schools the Encyclopaedia Britannica says that “Robert Raikes established his first Sunday school in Gloucester, England, in 1780”. (The Americana says that it was in 1781.) Continuing the Britannica says: “The idea, however, did not originate with Raikes. Among earlier pioneers in this field were Joseph Alleine, the Puritan Rather, who founded Sunday schools in England in the 17th century, and John Wesley, who held Sunday classes in Savannah, Georgia, in 1737. Yet, by reason of his achievements in organization, Raikes is justly regarded as the founder of the English Sunday school.”
McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopaedia adds its testimony when it says: “It is not difficult to determine, from the history of the times, who was probably more instrumental than any other man in establishing and diffusing the system of gratuitous and Christian instruction in those schools. It was the Rev. John Wesley, who, for more than thirty years prior to the first Sunday-school of Raikes, had been in the habit of assembling children in various parts of England for the purpose of religious instruction.” -
The first Sunday school union in London was formed in 1803, and in 1824 the American Sunday School Union was organized. It was in 1872 that the uniform international Sunday school system was. set up. When attendance reached its peak in 1928 there were only 29,000,000 enrolled throughout the world.
These historical citations testify to the fact that the Sunday-school idea originated wnth men, and not with God. Men, and not God, established Sunday schools for the purpose of teaching religion, which consists of creedal dogmas and doctrines founded upon the traditions of men and not on the truth of the Bible. Today many people wonder whether such practice should be continued. “Kev”. Philip M. Widenhouse, member of the Federal Council of Churches, has said:
Tliere are many who feel that the presentday church school is on its way out and Protestantism should be devoting its attention to the “teaching function” of the church, recognizing that Christian principles were taught long before the modern Sunday school came into existence, and may be taught long after it has ceased to be. Pessimism regarding the future of the Sunday school is certainly grounded in fact, for at the present rate of loss the Sunday school will cease to be within thirty years.
This is not to he wondered at when one sees how far Sunday schools have failed to fulfill their original purpose as expressed by John Wesley. On July 18, 1784, he wrote, “'Who knows but some of these schools may become nurseries for Christians?” Instead of producing genuine Christians, it is an admitted fact that Sunday schools have had another goal and purpose. Dr. Jesse M. Bader expresses it thus: “Sunday school teachers have the greatest job in the community because they are making Christian bankers, Christian statesmen and Christian civic leaders.”
Now, what is a “Christian banker” or a “Christian statesman” or a “Christian civic leader”? To be a Christian in fact, and not in name only, would require one to be a follower of Christ Jesus and His teachings. Did Christ aspire to be a banker or a statesman or a civic leader? No, He did not. He divested himself of His heavenly riches and glory and took on the form of a servant born in the humbleness of a manger. As He grew He learned the carpenter’s trade (not banking and politics). Though He possessed power and ability as a perfect creature far above imperfect men about Him, yet He did not strive after material wealth and position; He had not where to lay His head. This is the example Christ Jesus left for true Christians to follow.—Philippians 2:5-8; Matthew 8:20.
As to Christ’s teachings, what did He say about rich men and political statesmen ? First of all, He told the rich young ruler if he wTould get life he should sell all of his possessions, give to the poor and then follow Christ. He could not be a servant of mammon and also a follower of Christ. Would it not be harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than it would be for a camel to go through the eye of a needle? Christ said that His kingdom was not of this world of political intrigue and diplomacy. (Luke 18 :18-25; John 18: 36) Moreover a faithful follower of Christ Jesus, the apostle James, said that if persons claiming to be in a covenant with God are friends of this world, like many politicians and statesmen, then they are spiritual adulterers and fornicators, and as such they are the enemies of God. To this James added his warning of what is in store for rich men of this old world. (See James 4:4 and 5:1-6.) It is because Sunday schools have endeavored to incubate and hatch such pseudoChristians that they are without God’s blessing and have come under ITis condemnation. The failure of Sunday schools is due to the fact that they are of human origin and are institutions founded for the purpose of promulgating the traditions of men. However, condemnation is upon them because they have failed to heed God’s warning that He sent to them, but instead have persisted in their self-appointed business.
Failed to Seed God’s Warning
In 1904 a book was published, The New Creation, and over 900,000 copies were distributed in the most important languages. On page 544, under the heading “The Influence of Sunday Schools’’, three reasons were given to show that | these systems of men are not Scriptural* ly founded. "
(1) The Sunday schools have been injurious to Christian parents, in that they have led them to consider themselves relieved of the parental responsibility placed upon them , by the Lord. The Sunday-school teacher is often thoroughly incapable for such a responsibility, often a novice as respects children and their proper training . . . Such a teacher is given the place of the parent in respect to the most important of all parental duties. (2) The Sunday school is a decided disadvantage to the children of Christian parents, because they do not get from the Sundayschool teachers the kind of instruction which the intelligent and conscientious parent could and should give. (3) The Sunday-school arrangement is reacting disadvantageous^ upon both parent and child from another standpoint: it is causing the children to lose respect for their parents . . . Undoubtedly it has much to do with the present-day condition of the so-called “Christian world”, in the matter of disobedience to parents, family insubordination, etc, . . . if he [the child] sees the parent’s veneration turned from God and his Word and directed toward a clerical class, so as to receive supposed divine messages through them, and without the exercise of reason or the study of God’s Word, the influence upon the child is that of superstition and subordination to priestcraft—an unhealthy condition as respects spiritual development.
Should I Send My Child to
Sunday School?
In the minds of many parents, even parents who themselves never attend church, the question arises as to whether they should send their children to Sunday school or not. This very question was asked, and answered from the Bible by a book called Children, Since its publication in 1941 nearly 3,500,000 have been printed; so, no doubt, many have it on their bookshelves. It states:
Shall the child be sent to the Sunday school of some religious organization to there receive instruction? No; for the reason that religious organizations do not teach the Bible, which is the way of righteousness. If the parents love their children they must and will 'instruct them at home in the Word of God and will take their children with them to the class or company where the Bible is carefully and systematically studied, and there require the children to sit quietly and learn; and when they have advanced sufficiently they will let the children participate in the study. Such is the rule which God has made known, and that is the only proper rule to follow. The rule or rules which God made known to the Israelites, his typical chosen people, apply to all persons who enter into a covenant with God to do his will. . . .
What, then, are the rules which God has announced concerning the parents and their responsibility to teach their children 1 Let the Word of God answer: “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but teach them thy sons, and thy son’s sons . . . ”—Deuteronomy 4; 9, 10.
After announcing to his covenant people the rules which they must obey God says to them: “Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. . . . ” —Deuteronomy 11:18-21.
Note these specific commandments concerning the teaching of the children: . . . “And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.” —Deuteronomy 32; 46.
The parents who have agreed to do the will of God must teaeh their children to love God: “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teaeh them diligently unto thy children . . . ’’—Deuteronomy 6: 5-8. . . .
Parents who love God will keep always in mind concerning th^jr children that the life of the child is involved and that it is of the greatest importance that the child should be instructed from its youth onward as to what God requires of those who shall find life everlasting. [Pages 267-271]
In all of these scriptures there is nothing that would warrant the Sundayschool idea. All of these Bible citations are very specific that it is the parents’ responsibility to first learn God’s law and then teach His commandments to their children.
The Senator TFns Wrong
When one has this proper Scriptural understanding he can appreciate how wrong the senator was who sponsored a resolution (S. Res. 86) in support of “World’s Sunday School Association”. On February 26, 1945, this so-called “Christian statesman” said: “T am a staunch! believer in the Sunday school. I was brought up by a Quaker father and mother. T wish it were possible for every boy and girl not only to have Sundayschool training but also to be a regular attendant, at church. The church and Sunday school have done more to establish good citizenship and righteous government in America than any other influence.”
The facts do not support the assertion. The Chicago Sun (June 2, 1945) quoted the “Rev.” Alan W. Watts, chaplain of Northwestern University, as saying that less than 8 percent of the population of the United States has “a real interest” in religion. Said this Episcopal priest: “Only 40 percent of the people of America belong to any kind of religious organization, and of that 40 percent a mere 15 to 20 percent is in any sense active.”
No, Sunday schools have not established “good citizenship and righteous government in America”. After a hundred years of effort look at the brood Sunday schools have incubated in these “last days”: “covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents ... despisers of those that are good . . . lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.” (2 Timothy 3:1-6) Christians'? Nay, Senator, nay!
. Sunday schools are not supported by the Bible; Sunday schools were established by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy to teach young children the catechism; Sunday schools ’were set up by Protestants in imitation of Catholicism; Sunday schools have made neither good citizens nor Christians; Sunday schools are indeed a failure! Therefore, you honest and sincere parents who see these Sunday-school houses of religion crumbling and falling, flee. Elee to the Theocratic Kingdom mountains mentioned by Christ Jesus in Matthew 24, and, in such haven of security, teach your loving children the precepts and commandments of Jehovah God, that they too may live in the New World long after Sunday schools have been forgotten.
Bombs
♦ The Office of Chemical Warfare Service reported that 1,661,000 bombs were dropped by the Army Air Force in the European theater and of these 6.3 percent were incendiaries. Whereas in the Pacific theater 617,000 bombs of all types were dropped; 17 percent were fire bombs. Added together 2,278,000 bombs were rained down, of which approximately 10 percent were the pyrophoric type.

Going Up to God’s Mountain
IN THESE days we are witnessing the fulfillment of the words of Micah 4:2: “Many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacoh; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” The mountain of the Lord to which men of good-will out of all nations are now go-ing up is the established kingdom of Jehovah God by His Messianic Kang, Christ Jesus.
On this earth the highest political “mountain” of this thing called “Christendom” is the United Nations organization. It tries to poke its summit up above the “mountain of the Lord” and to dominate all the earth. Hence it is opposed to the universal domination of Jehovah’s kingdom by Christ. It assumes to stand in the “holy place” where God’s kingdom rightfully stands. Therefore, according to Jesus’ prophecy concerning this end of the world, it is the “abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet”. (Daniel 11:31; 12:11) That 'desolating abomination’ will never measure up to the perfections and abilities of God’s kingdom by Christ, and hence will fail. At the coming battle of Armageddon this “mountain” will be abased to the grave, but Jehovah’s Theocratic Government or “mountain” will continue to be “exalted above the hills” for evermore.-—Micah 4:1.
“And peoples shall flow unto it.” (Micah 4:1, Am. Stan. Ver.) These follow after Jehovah’s faithful remnant of anointed witnesses who take the lead in the present-day march to God’s kingdom. Due to the great publicity wmrk of these witnesses since A.D. 1919 millions have heard the good news of the establishment of God’s “mountain” or kingdom, and many thousands have joyfully accepted the message, turned their backs on religion, and turned their steps toward the glorious mountain of The Theocracy. Like a great river, made up of streams from all the nations and being continually enlarged as thousands more join the movement into the Kingdom, these “peoples” of good-will toward God and His kingdom flow to it and openly and actively take their stand on His side. This the Devil, by his demonized rulers of “Christendom”, has viciously tried to prevent and to turn the flow of such peoples back, into the broad road leading to the “Dead sea” of destruction at Armageddon. This effort continues to fail. The combined demon forces and rule cannot halt the ingathering and flow of the peoples, the Lord’s “other sheep”, unto The Theocracy until all such are gathered into the “one fold” under Kingdom protection, as foretold at John 10:16. Standing immovably on that side and there holding fast their integrity toward God, those “other sheep” will survive Armageddon and form the “great multitude” that He will thereafter use to fill the earth with a righteous offspring in joyous obedience to the divine mandate once given to Adam.—Genesis 1: 28; 9:1, 7.
Regardless of their nationality by birth the persons of good-will are. given God’s gracious invitation to come’up to the “mountain of the Lord”. (Micah 4:2) Those who will form the "great multitude” of Armageddon survivors now come out of all nations, kindreds, people and tongues. (Revelation 7 : 9,10) They will form the nations who under The Theocratic Government will glorify God on earth; and concerning them it is written: “Rejoice, ye nations, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all
ye nations; and let all the peoples praise him.” (Homans 15:10,11, Am. Stan. Ver., margin) “Who shall not fear thee, 0 Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.”—Revelation 15:4.
These “other sheep” of the Lord are not called to go to heaven. They do not go to heaven and never will go up there. Their everlasting inheritance will be on the cleansed and perfected earth. They hear the remnant boldly proclaiming that God’s kingdom was set up at His enthroning of His King in 1914 and that the Kingdom is here, to destroy the wicked and to bless the obedient and faithful. Hence they go up to that “mountain of Jehovah”, to wit, to “mount Zion”, 'and take their stand publicly and outspokenly on the side, of the great God and His everlasting Government of . peace and righteousness. Their eyes have been opened to see the anti-Jehovah “abomination of desolation” presumptuously standing in the “holy place”, and they unhesitatingly obey Jesus’ command to forsake “Christendom” dnd her organized religion and to flee to the “mountains”, namely, to Jehovah God and Christ Jesus, who constitute The Theocracy. They make a full and irrevocable dedication of themselves to God by Christ Jesus, and devote themselves un-dividedly to the Kingdom, and to its praise and service. They become publishers for the Lord God and strive to increase the numbers of publishers of the • Kingdom by informing others of goodwill and inviting them to take a like course, to join the company of those going up to the “mountain of Jehovah”, The Theocratic Government.
The number “ten” applies to all the nations from which these of good-will come forth; and another prophet describes their action, in this phrase: “Thus saith the Lord of hosts, It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants -of many cities: and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men [all of good-will] shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew [Christ Jesus, the great Judean, who leads in Jehovah’s praises], saying, We will go with you [remnant of Jehovah’s anointed witnesses] : for we have heard that God is with you.”—Zechariah 8:20-23.
They seek Jehovah’s “mountain” or Theocratic Government in order to worship Him and serve Him at His temple. They forsake confused religion, which is devilism or demonism, and join God’s remnant in exposing religion as of the Devil and as against Jehovah’s kingdom. Hence they say to those of a hearing ear: “Let us go up to the house of the God of Jacob.” The name “Jacob” applies in a modern sense to The Christ, Jesus the Head and the church which is His body. The “God of Jacob” is Jehovah. The “other sheep” now acknowledge: “Happy is he that ha.th the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God.” (Psalm 146:5, Am. Stan. Ver.) “Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.” (Psalm 46:11, Am. Stan. Ver.) Those going up to His mountain disdain the criticism and persecution of the present time and courageously associate themselves with Jehovah’s witnesses and shoulder a goodly portion of the witness work and its responsibilities. In this course they must maintain their integrity, by constancy and by faithfulness to their obligations to God and never permitting anything to entice and turn them away from God’s “mountain” and its house, of worship to Him. Their reward will be eternal-life in the New World of righteousness.
Witnessing at a Big Hospital in Texas
MY PAL found the truth fifteen years ago; I found it twenty-five years ago; now we are both old men. We have to work to live. We eannot keep an aceu-
1 rate account of our Kingdom work, as * do others, but we witness as we work.
Our job is to help keep this 5,500-bed hospital clean, and to show the inmates to the different wards and clinics.
It is a matter of great regret that there is so much waste here. Nothing served at breakfast.is saved for dinner; nothing served for dinner is saved for supper. I see enormous quantities of the finest foods on earth thrown away daily. These wastes include meats, breads, cakes, and vegetables.
