FRO- FATHER GWY-N. Ie Writes About Man Who Has Beer Attacking His Church. Anderson Daily Mail. Mr. Editor: I beg space in your es. teemed paper today to place before it. Teaders a matter which I trust you al so will consider or grave importanc( to a large number of your readers. In the last issue of the Messenger z prominent news journel -publishe< weekly in McCormick, S. C., appeare< the following paragraph: "An interesting service at the Bap tist church, morning and night, Rev Augustin Dwyer will preach. He wil also lecture several nights next weel on Roman Catholicism, having beer educated for a Catholic priest. Com early and get a good seat. This is ai opportunity you may not enjoy agaii in a lifetime. "Respectfully, "S. R. Bass." The "Reverend" Augustin Dwye: has been in our section of countr: for some time. In Greenville he lectured in the Bap tist church on "From Darkness *t Light," or from "Romanism to Chris tianity." In Anderson, he has lectur ed also in the Baptist church, on som( similar subjects. Throughout Ander son county, I understand, he has ap peared at a number of times in pulpi and on platform entertaining his hear ers with his views on "Romanism." "Romanism" is a term that does no express that religion to which I hav the great honor and inestimable priv ilege of belonging and therefore I hav kept silent. But, now that the "Rev erend" Augustin Dwyer comes befor( the public as an exponent of Romai Catholicism and claims to speak o1 that subject as one competent ane duly qualified, I can keep silent n( longer without being delinquent in m: duty. That he has ceased to believ( and practice the Catholic religion i1 his own affair between himself ane Almighty God and on this head, there fore, I have nothing to say; but I hav( something to say concerning the cre ibility of the "Reverend" gentlemar as a witness competent to speak 0 Roman Catholicism or any other forn of Christianity. In proof of which permit me, Mr. Editor, to submit thf following facts concerniPg his careel to the consideration of your readers He was born in Massachusetts of gooi Irish Catholic parents (more disgrac4 to him!), studied some under the Je suit Fathers in Boston and some a St. Francis Xavier's college in Nov York. He never has been professor tutor nor instructor at the CatholiF University of America, as has beei stated In his circulars. He was neve: matriculated there even as a student He did, however, obtain permission t4 St. Mary's seminary as a candidat< for sacred orders but was shortly e pelled, a-cording to a document oi file fro'n the archbishop's secmtary now Bishop of Wheeling, W. Va., fo "inveterate lying, seemingly prevari cating gratuituously for the mer "Cured 0 Neuralgia Pain" "I take 'pleas ure im writing to you that I had a neuralgia pain in my arm for five years, and I used your Liniment for one week and was completely cured.

In 1888 he was ac cepted on probation as a Paulist No vice. He was expelled from the Pau list Novitiate, as the records show, for "inveterate lying, fraud and de ceit." He has made use of a letter from Father Deshon of the Paulist Order, stating that "he was under no canonical impediment," which is a technical expression, in substance equivalent to that of a civil judge re marking, concerning an individual that I "no sufficient reason has been brought I before me why this man should go to jatq." "With characteristic drollery," says Father MacCorry 'of the Paulist order, "Dwyer in his booklet and else I where has falsified the date of this letter to read February, 1908, whereas Father Deshon passed to his reward in 1904." I shall not stop to comment on his ] L editorship of the Orphans' Bouquet nor on the reason of his relinquishing this position and leavng Boston, nor can I but make mention that he was a "Universalist" in Roxbury, Mass.; that he repented and abjured, under solemn oath "his errors;" that soon -after this, he was associated with the Shakers; that, after leaving them, the printing shop of the Rosary Maga zine, of Somerset, Ohio, was vociferous in its echoes to his plaintive wail of gratitude that "Almighty God had brought him back once more to the faith of his foresires;" that he has said some guileless. things in public about his experience as a Dominican t novice- but the record shows that he: never set foot across the threshold of the Dominican novitiate, although he did have a job of general utility man around the presses, eight miles dis tant from the cloister, and the record i further states "he affected the airs of a dilettante and the role of a penitent I and his fellow workmen came to des-, pise him and he proved himself such an unmitigated liar that he was or dered to quit the premises;" that soon he had another "call" this time the "voice" came from Westminster, Md., from the Episcopalian "monastery" of Holy Cross; that the "fathers" of this place refused finally to accept him for orders; that after another "repen tance" and abjuration of "his errors" he is again a Catholic, connected with the fathers of the blessed sacrament and their paper, "The Sentinel;" that once more -he was expelled for con duct I do not care to speak of at pres ent; that in 1904, he found favor in Mr. Roosevelit's eyes, went to Spain where he "stereopticoned the roya.l court," descended upon Rome, and about to be ordained 'when investiga tion was begun and once more the "reverend" gentheman had to look for another "call" that next he became ",the celebrated convert from Roman ism" under Methodist auspices. In 1908 under the direct patronage sponsorship of the ministerial union -of Cleveland, Ohio, whose president was the Rev. C. A. Mitchell, 'his out rageous 'abuse of the Catholic religion ibrought upon him an expose of his -life and a challenge to his sponsors. SThis challienge, Mr. Editor, was not answered for reason only too evident, and so it still stands before the world. This challenge contains charges that can not be passed over in silence either 'by the "Reverend" Mr. Dwyer or -by any one who stands sponsor for him. Lest it be thought that I am making mere assertions and am unfair in my criticisms of the "Reverend" Augustin Dwyer, I submit (and believe me, Mr. Editor, I do so with the gre4atest re luctance but from a high sense of duty to enlighten and protect the peo 1iAe of this section irrespective of creed) the following sworn affidavit which speaks for itself and which is only one of a number of documentary evidences of the truth of what I have said: STATE OF OHIO, Cuyahoga Co. The Reverend P. y1. MacCorry, Ro-j1 man Catholic priest, Superior of the Paulist Missionary Band, now preach- < ing at St. Patrick's church, Bridge] Avenue, N. W., this city, and consul- - tor of the Priests of congregation of St. Paul the Apostle, with permanenti residence at the rectory of St. Mary's< church 490 Wabash avenue, Chicago,] Cook county, Illinois, being duly sworn hofore me, does hereby solemnly de clare 'that he was appointed- to inves tgate the personal life and character.' of one "Professor" Thomas Augustine Dwyer, during said Dwyer's residence from May untill August, 1907, at a cer- ] tain Chicago hostelry (the name of which may be had by application at'' this office) that in turn he appointedi nine representative citizens of Chi cago to prosecute such investigation. < That said nine citizens, after due1 investigation reported to him as fol lows: That they had secured legal i dor:snnry eviden;ca in effect that] said De v'r was a moral degenerate whi'le lecturing in Chicago, as a Meth-' odist Episcopal minister, and under H Mthodist Episcopal auspices, and: during the aforesaid months of May until Au gust, 1907. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That the affidavits of these six men and boys are at present on fl!e, and that the aforesaid six men and boys'1 3an be produced in person in open ,ourt, should any man or body of men wish to contest the truth and accuracy f the charges hereinbefore set forth. (Seal) F. V. Faulhaber. .otary Public, No. 3124 Lorain Ave." One word more to bring the "Rev ?rend" Mr. Dwyer's history to date: 'Last summer he was booked to lec .ure in Norfolk, Va., he being still a Uethodist. The Methodist minister of -hat place was told, I am informed, by members of his congregation, of the 'Reverend" Mr. Dwyer's history and the result was that the lecture was ,anceled. In July last, he appeared in sheville and there became an ardent member of the Baptist church whose pastor was-and is still, I believe, a Reverend Doctor Vines. From Ashe ville he came to Anderson and made iis first public appearance in the Bap tist church. I need not add, after ll that has been said, that this man s not and never was a priest of the ,atholic church. Let me concude by asking is this 'Reverend" Augustin Dwyer a credit .ble expounder of the Catholic reli ,ion, or of any other religion? Is this nan the proper person to lecture to lhe wives and daughters of any com munity on the exalted virtue of purity? [ am sure the good people before whom he has spoken were altogether inacquainted with his history other wise they would not have endorsed im by their presence. A. K.
