r, I do so
for the sake of the wretched boy whose future has been nearly
blasted by the Jesuitical behaviour of two so-called Protestant
clergymen.

Four years ago, my lord, I retired from a lifelong career as a
missionary in New Guinea to give my children the advantages of
English education and English climate, and it is surely hard that I
should live to curse the day on which I did so. My third son Cyril
was sent to school at Haverton House, Slowbridge, to an educational
establishment kept by a Mr. Henry Lidderdale, reputed to be a
strong Evangelical and I believe I am justified in saying rightly
so reputed. At the same time I regret that Mr. Lidderdale, whose
brother was a notorious Romanizer I have since discovered, should
not have exercised more care in the supervision of his nephew, a
fellow scholar with my own son at Haverton House. It appears that
Mr. Lidderdale was so lax as to permit his nephew to frequent the
services of the Reverend Stephen Ogilvie at Meade Cantorum, where
every excess such as incense, lighted candles, mariolatry and
creeping to the cross is openly practised. The Revd. S. Ogilvie I
may add is a member of the S.S.C., that notorious secret society
whose machinations have been so often exposed and the originators
of that filthy book "The Priest in Absolution." He is also a member
of the Guild of All Souls which has for its avowed object the
restoration of the Romish doctrine of Purgatory with all its
attendant horrors, and finally I need scarcely add he is a member
of the Confraternity of the "Blessed Sacrament" which seeks openly
to popularize the idolatrous and blasphemous cult of the Mass.

Young Lidderdale presumably under the influence of this disloyal
Protestant clergyman sought to corrupt my son, and was actually so
far successful as to lure him to attend the idolatrous services at
Meade Cantorum church, which of course he was only able to do by
inventing lies and excuses to his father to account for his absence
from the simple worship to which all his life he had been
accustomed. Not content with this my unhappy son was actually
persuaded to confess his sins to this self-styled "priest"! I
wonder if he confessed the sin of deceiving his own father to
"Father" Ogilvie who supplied him with numerous Mass books,
