ht as well expect our daughters to become women of
virtue and godliness, who were raised in houses of ill fame, as to
expect young men and women to become men and women of morality and
chastity, who have for their teachers such men as Priest Sander of
Brooklyn, New York.

There is no denying the fact that Catholicism has already a strong
hold upon the affairs of this country, as we find the hydra-headed
demon in every branch of our government, and since such is the case,
it is folly to deny the fact that if Catholicism is what we have
shown it to be, that her influence is demoralizing, and the influence

to be detrimental, and who will deny the truthfulness of my
assertions, as I have not misstated a single paragraph in this book;
and if this is true, what shall we expect of the present generation

One of the most fashionable Roman Catholic churches in New York City
is "St. Cecilia's," situated on North Henry and Herbert streets.

Only a few years ago the organist of this church went to the room of
the priest in charge, in company with a little boy. The priest
informed this boy to stay down stairs, and invited the organist to
his parlor, near which were his living rooms. This priest locked the
door behind him, and without a moment's warning, leaped upon her like
a beast and attempted to bear her down upon the sofa and commit an
assault, but her cries frightened him away.

With flushed face she rushed from this priest's room and p
