If Catholics worship picture? and saints—if they think medals^ holy water and the like, will i'i themselves prevent accidents, di sease, lightning and drowning—if Catholics have no minds of their own and must vote and fight amt act just as their priest orders- then surely there is somethinT wrong with the Catholics. Ye?, something so wrong that they should never be permitted to havv* a hand in the running of thi * great country of ours. If, on the other hand, there i* no idolatry or superstition abou *. anything Catholic—if all Catholic; have 100 per cent free will—if their patriotism is a proved fact— if, in short, Catholics believe tha 1 ; their Faith has in it and behind it reason, common sense, God- given authority and a philosophy, which if generally adopted, would solve all present-day problems— if Catholics have such a story to tell to their non-Catholic neigh bors and refuse to tell it—then again we say there is somethin; wrong with the Catholics—woe fully wrong. To enable fair-minded people of other creeds to know Catholic facts from Catholic sources, thi; society from now on will publish weekly in this paper little infor mative stories of the things which Catholics believe, do and live day after day, believing that our mes sages will receive courteous atten tion and credence because we hav^ no religion to attack, no axe grind, no purpose in mind ©the * than to engender understanding and good-will which are s> necessary if America is to , stand united against the evils that sur round us. We hope you will feel free t> write us your opinion of our labor of love and to ask frank question? about anything Catholic which you may have in mind. Such ques tions will be courteously answered without obligating you in any way. Write to Father Spiesman, P. O. Box 407, Anderson, S. C.
