been in charge of these islands for centuries, and to-day they are
worse off than they were before Catholicism planted her black banner
in their midst.

Wherever you find intellectuality, morality and civilization in its
fullest meaning, you will find a country where Protestantism is the
predominating doctrine, as Catholicism can not exist only in the
"underbrush" of ignorance and vice.

The greatest menace this country has to contend with is the influx of
Rome's followers from other nations, and unless our immigration laws
are remedied it will not be long until Rome will be able, by physical
strength, to enumerate the United States as one of her countries, as
each succeeding year tens of thousands of the followers of Rome from

practice in this country the abominations taught them in their

Lawrence's prediction being fulfilled in every particular, and Roman
Catholicism is the incarnate fiend that has forced this prediction to
come true. Mr. Lawrence's article follows:
