ndom that Catholicism resorts to, but we have a number of
others which the Protestant world knows but little about, and
especially the Protestants in America, as the Catholic officials do
not want "this Scapular business" talked about too much in this
country, for fear that the Protestant world will give it the
deserving ridicule that it should have. However, we have started out
to show up the teachings of Catholicism as they actually exist, and
the more light we turn upon this subject the more prominent her
abominations will become, consequently we want to mention these other
Scapulars.

The first that we will mention is, "The Trinity of White Linen with
Red Cross;" the second is, "The Survite Scapular of Seven Dolors,"
which is of black woolen stuff; the third is, "The Immaculate
Conception," which is of blue woolen cloth, and the fourth and last
Scapular is one that was originated in 1846 by a Sister of Charity in
Paris, France, who is said to have received a revelation from God
Almighty, and this one is called "The Red Scapular of the Passion."

While American Catholics are a class far superior in intellect to the
Catholics of other nations, they still tenaciously cling to the
inert Scapular and believe in its efficacy and power; however, the
Catholic Church is getting to have quite a number of these Scapulars,
which is causing the intelligent Catholics to become a little
doubtful as to which has the greatest "pulling power," and many of
them, in order to make no mistake, wear all five of them in a bunch;
thus they are assured that if one fails to get in its work another
will come to the rescue, and should they fall off of a train moving
60 miles an hour, this little bunch of woolen goods will save them
from a bruise, or should they drink a quart of the essence of
strychnine they would be saved from instant death by one of these
five Scapulars.

You ask a Catholic to explain the merits of the Scapular and all they
can tell you is that if they die during the week that the Virgin Mary
will then take them to heaven on the Saturday following, but if they
happen to die on a Saturday, bear in mind that the Virgin Mary gives
them a cold shoulder until the next Saturday. Now, this is the only
explanation that you can get a Catholic to give you in regard to a
Scapular.

Is it any wonder that the power to reason is shattered by these
cungering devices of Catholicism, and do you wonder that the dense
ignorance of Catholi
