Thus in Germany and Italy the Hier-
archy ancl the pope a r e solidly behind
the dictators, while in America the? a r e
represented as the helpless victims of the
dictators. Another i1lustratio;l is their
conduct about free speech. Ti1 June, 1939,
a group of Jesuit-inspired Coughlinites
left a picket line fornied around Radio
Station TTMCA in protest for free
speech for their leader, in order to march
over to Madison Square Garden to t r y
to break up a n assembly of Jehovah's
~i~itnesses.Thus tlicy left a demonstra-
tion of their own favoring free speech for
their unprincipled fuehrer: for the pur-
pose of destroying free speech for those
svhose lawful character lias been upheld
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Many Catholics a r e convinced tliat
such measures are all right. They fail to
see that freedom of speech does not mean
freedom only to speak what the pope
vrrants spoken; and its loss will be their
loss as ell. la,faiiy Catliolic newspapers
busy tliemselves shouting Yor free speech
for Coughliii. These same institutions
have resorted to mob violence to prevent
Jehovah's witnesses from telling the peo-
ple of the message of J e h o v a l ~kingdom,
'~
otherv~isecalled THE THEOCRACY. Their
acts prove then1 both inconsistent, vi-
cious, and the enemies of mankind, whose
only hope is tliis kiiigdoin.
The people of the United States gea-
erally know that "hate" bills have been
introduced in many state legislatures,
whose similar language plainly shows
that they proceed from the same source.
The object of these bills, cunningly de-
vised to appear :IS a,t"cmpts to stop at-
tacks on race or religion, is admitted to
be the silencing of Jehovah's witnesses.
Tn answer to iliese methods, Jehovah's
svitnesses have taken advantage of their
privilege of laying the facts ancl tlie
danger before the people of these vari-
ous states. Tlie results have been so dev-
astating to 'che Hierarchy that they have
been compelled to back water. To hide
their own promotion and introduction of
6 GGNSOLAT10N
these bills, about which la~vmakersare
heard to say "The Catholics started this
bill to stop Jehovah's witnesses", the
Hierarchy has one of' its publications de-
nounce the self-proposed law. This is an
old Jesuit trick to del'end theniselves
flsorn the just charges being leveled at
the institution stooping to such methods,
and a t once discredit tlie integrity of
those malcing the c h a r ~ e s They
. can hoot
a t the accusations and go riglit ahead
getting the law passed. To date, however,
they have not had mml.e41 success, due
largely to the alertness of Jehovah's
witnesses.
A11 exemple of the above form of trick-
ery is found in the altaek on a New York
"hate" bill by Cougl~linin the April 7
issue of Social J ~ ~ s t i c eConghlili
. cle-
nounced the bill on g1.01ulcls such as the
following: "Thus a public display of that
'eniblem' (the cross) might be inter-
preted by some anti-Christians as 'offen-
sive' and 'inciting hostility'." "Like~vise,
it would be illegal for a clergjiiian to
either say his beads in public, or read
his breviary on a ear or train.'' The E i e r -
arclly had becollie pretty hard-pressed
by the 7,~arningssoundctl up? and do~vu
the laud by .Te1iovah9s \~ri'inesses. Of
course, they had n o fears of Catl~olic
persecution, hut the elposure nlade a
move to cover up badly needed.
KO doubt taking their cue from this
editorial, a faniitical group of Conghlin-
ites presented themselves before the
Minnesota legisla tnre, 117her.e a similar.
bill was under coi~sideration,An eye-
witness stated: "Ninnesoia legislative
committee held a hearing a t svhich
' M T ~ ~(presented
s ~ ~ ~ hy ' Jeliovah's wit-
nesses) was duly read. The local corn-
pany's attorney, friendly, spolce on his
own initiative against the bill. During
that speech a crowd of Coughlinjtes
brolie in on tlie conirnittee and began
tlieir usual roughneclc tactics, attempting
to heclrle and otherwise shorn off. Their
spokesman claimed to ile 'against' the bill
and demanded a public hearing. The
chairman promised to consult all alem-
bers of the committee suliseqnently as to
holding anotlier hearbig, and then to
notify the C'oughlinite spokesman and
also Jehovah's mitnehses and their at-
torney." This Conghlin deirionslration
was plainly all shon. Gail one imagine
a Couglilinite being indicted under tliis
or. any similar larv? The fact that such
lloodlums a r e not i11 Jail shows this to be

violently interrupted a private session.
When liooligans are treated xith defer-
ence by legislative bodies, i t shows to
what depths of depraved feer before the
Hierarchy many lawmakers of this coun-
try have fallen.
X few more examples will suffice to
give some insight into this black craft.
The pope recently blessed the Italians
that flew to E ~ g l a n dand bombed the
Royal Palace. The Biiig and queen nar-
rowly escaped, and were congratulated
by the poye! The pope orclers all Qer-
mans and Italians to be loyal to their
respective dictators. Then to the world is
flashed the nelT,-sthat lie is not leaniiig to
the dictators, but, on the contrary, that
the Catholic church is snffering harsh
persecutioll. That rronld mean that Hit-
ler and Nussolini a r e persecuting the
"church" organization a t ml~ichthey both
worship, and which they have granted
first privileges iii every land conquered.
When Britain iilade Bnor~mthrough the
Vatican that if either Athens or Alex-
andria were bombed, she would retaliate
by bonlbing Rome, n i i h Vatican City
probably in line of fire, yon will remem-
ber from the news that ally Nitler care-
fully avoided all I~ombing of tlie two
cities. However, Roirle ancl Vatican City
will both go down sl~henthe Lord ,.trikes.
H. Q. TVells, famous English wl-iter, is
incensed ove1- the present immunity of
Rome. He makes plain his conviction
that i t ouglit to be attacked, in his article

The pope has concordats with both

dom of discnesion. The dictatorships

Another hullabaloo to cover up ~0111-
plicity and also have excuse to smash
enemies is the Ca'iliolic screech against
Comliiunisni. Jehovull's wit~iesses are
called Conlnluliists and snbrersis~efifth
columnists, and tliis in spite of the facts
and a Federal Bureau of Investigation
report to the contrary. Jehovali's wit-
nesses are the o ~ l true

ing to n-orship ,l-lmighty God according
to the dictates of our own consciences,
even as our forefatllers did. They tried
to preserre the results of that fight by

the Constitution and the first ten anlead-
ments, lillor~-na s the Bill of Eights. The
very first of these amendments is, briefly
stated, for this Furpose : "insuring reli-

The Knights of Columhlls are directed
by the Jesuits; and their alleged oath,
on one occasion printed in protest in
their behalf in the Co~~yressional Record,
suggests Jesuit origin.
They also h a w an organ for dissemi-
nating propaganda, the magazine Arner-
ica, published in New Yorli. That pulsli-
cation fulminstes abuse against Jeho-
vah's witnesses, and, less openly, attacks
democracy and Protestantism. With a
record for crime surpassing any other
organization on earth, they had the te-
merity to invite both presidential candi-
dates, President Roose~reltand TVillkie,
to a "Solemn Pontifical Mass Sept. 29

J u s t what liind of goods the Jesuits
deal out can he judged by the following:
"From tlie very iiiception of the Spanish
War, the American newspapers have
misrepresented the situation ia Spain.
The set-up there is in reality quite sim-
ple. A Red clique controlled by Bloscow
attempted to establish a Soviet Qovern-
rnent." (John A. Toomey, S.J., Propa-
yallda in the Press, 11. 3 ; Amel-ica Press)

 $~:iaiiiinationlias brought another hook
to light, this one written entirely by
hlorse, and published by Van Nostrand
& Dwiglit, No. 146 Snssau street, New
Yorlc, 1836. This b?olc is a grill1 warning
against the pr2~ctic.c-sof the Jesuits and
bears tlie title "Foreign Conspiracy
Against the Liberties of the United
States". It was originally published
serially in tlie h'ew York Observer un-
der the s i g ~ a t u r eof "Brutus". pen nanie
of Srui~uelF. B. Rlorse. This eminent
Anlericail thought enough of his coun-

This booli, whose warnings appear
prophetic in the light of present events,
refers to the Jesuit intrigue of the Papal
powers in its title, "Foreign Coilspiracy
Against the Liberties of the United
States." Morse, who spent much time ill
Europe, learned how the Hierarchy
hated tlie United States, how iiiuch they
preferred the monarchies governing most
of the Colltiilent at that time, and hen-
the:? denonnced "North America" a s
"nursery of all these destructive prin-
ciples, the revolutionary scllool for
France and tlie rest of 1:urope". Four
Protestants of a s many faiths endorsed
the boolc in a letter that appears in tlie
preface, ancl at least four editions were
published.
From the railii~gsagainst this country
which Xorse recornlts, it appears certain
that the Papacy lias conspired to destroy
this nation for more than a hundred
years. This extreme hatred very likely
dates from tlie time vhen the revojution-
a r y spirit fired France in 1789 and the
Hierarchy got such a setback a s a result.
A11 this was blanied upon America. Also
explicitly named as hated was "Protes-

PO
merit", and its "ally of Bepnhlicanisnl".

ing is 130 feet by 82 feet, consisting of
a basenlent and three stories aloove the
basement. I t is constructed of cement re-
inforced with steel, and with face brick.
The construction is very high-class. One
of the best-known engineers of New YorB

work for the Government, drew the plans
and superintended the constructioi~.
The visitors were admitted into the
basement first, and, in brief, this is wliat
they saw: On the left of the rear en-
trance the heating plant and drying
room, the pressure tank, water supplies
and storage place ; on the right, the laun-
dry, the lavatories, for the use of the
men who work on the farm, and tlie
rooms for the treatment of the sick, with
modern equipment for that purpose. A

stairway then leads up to the main hall
or dining room. This room is 82 feet by
108 feet, with cement floor, painted and
beautifully lighted. All the w i n d o ~ sin

and Bis kingdom. The early settlers of Amer- F o r many years past Jehovah's witnesses have
J U N E 25, 1941
17
been diligently studying prophecies and also
diligent in trying to do the will of God.
Jehovah foretold the coming of Christ the
King, and this took place in 1914. God fore-
told that from and after a marked period in
the Scriptures, which is A.D. 1918, that
trouble would increase upon the earth and
would continue to grow worse until the final
climas at Armageddon. From 1914 mltil that
time is known in the Scriptures as the transi-
tion period, in which the kingdom of God is
coming in and tlie liingclom of the wicked one
Satan is passing out. It would he expected
that Satan the enemy would be opposed to
God's kingclom and would induce all people
to oppose i t ; and that is exactly what has heen
going on and is still going on. It has been the
purpose of Jehovah's witnesses to sound the
warning to the people, calling their attention
to the fact that the troubles in the world are
due lo the machinations of Satan and his nsso-
ciated demons and that their only means of
escape is by taking their stand on the sicle of
the kingdom of the Lord. It is needless for me
to tell this company present that the world is
in a terrible state. Europe has gone rnad and
is being rapidly destroyed. Many other na-
tions are following blindly in the same lead.
"Face the Facts"
At London, England, in 1938, I addressed
a large audience a t Xoyal Albert Hall, Lon-
don, on the subject "FACE THE FACTS", and
pointed out to the British people that Kazism,
Fascism, aided and supported by a great rcli-
gious organization, mould overrun the con-
tinent of Europe and its purpose would be to
destroy the British Empire. Not many people
of England accepted that statement at the
time, but today many thousands of them see
exactly those things are coming to pass. That
same year, in Paris 1 addressed a large aucli-
ence and called attention to the same facts.
I n Switzerland I likewise called attention to
what was coming to pass. There are thousands
of good people now in these countries who are
diligently serving Jehovah God, and who are
~vitnessesfor Jehovah, proclaiming His name
a n d His kingdom, and this would aid and
comfort many sufferers. A t my instance our
friends in London purchased two farms about
18
forty miles out from the city, and these farms
have been operated since to raise food to feed
many who need help, and buildings have been
erected on them as a place of refuge, and
many have been served there. I n Switzerland
also our friends acquired two farms, which
have served as a refuge for many who have
fled from Austria and Czechoslovakia, and a
few that have escaped from the terrible condi-
tions in Germany. We had acquired property
in Germany, and built that up for the aid of
the people, and also in Czechoslovakia and
Poland, but the Nazis have made it impossible
for anypne who serves Almighty God to use
these propert,ies. I n Australia and in other
places Jehovah's witnesses have likewise taken
a similar course.
A few years ago this farm where we now
are was oEcred for sale. I t was purchased. At
the time several buildings for d n elling pur-
poses mere already here, which have been oc-
cupied, and, seeing from the Scriptures what
is coming, and knowing that great trouble is
due to America, as well as other countries,
consecrated men and women believed it to be
entirely proper that we should here attempt
to do something to take care of those who are
unable to take care of themselves. So a little
less than a year ago we set about to erect this
present structure. You will note that it is well
built, that it is a n airy place; although plain,
it is substantial. This room in which we are
assembled will be used as a general dining
room and a meeting room, where we will study
the Bible and serve God. You will note here
on my left a modernly equipped kitchen. I n
the front is a store, where we will have some
general merchandise, which we will furnish
our friends without any hope of making
money, but only for accommodation, expect-
ing to receive the cost of our products. I n the
n-ings of the building, in the upper stories, are
bedrooms, equipped for the comfort of those
who may be housed here. I want you to go
through this building, and you will see that the
rumors about ammnnition and guns are en-
tirely without foundation. TTou will find that
this building is erected for the comfort of
those who may need comfort. About the first
thing that many will ask is, "Where did you
get the money?" Let me assure you that the

he expected back on the earth soon, because
God's promise is that He will resurrect tllern
and make them the visible rulers or governors
on earth who will rule the world under the
direct supervision of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That will be the righteous rule, a just rule, in
which there will be no wickedness permitted.
Then the scripture which says, "When the
Gighteous are in authority, the people rejoice,"
will be fully realized and all who live will re-
joice and give praise to God and Christ His
King. You ma>- expect soon to see standing in
this very place where I now stand some of
these faithful men, either Daniel or Abral~am,
Baralr or some of those other faithful men,
and then you will note that the Kingdom is
taking on a visible, active form for the good
of those who serve Jeho~rah.
"Peace and Safety"
The war that is now afflicting Europe and
other countries will go on for a time. Some
kind of peace will be patched up soon; then
those who have to do with bringing ahout that
so-called "peace" will boastingly say: "XTe
have brought about peace and safety." The
worst trouble will then follow. Those who
have attempted to rule, and are now attempt-
ing to rule in the place of God's kingdom,
will suffer destruction. This will be a t the
battle of that great day of God Almighty,
described in the Scriptures, arid otherwise
known as the battle of -4rmageddon, and of
which Jesus speaks as a time of trouble such
as the world has never known, and that mill
be the last. No one will survive that trouble
except those who take their stand on the side
of God and His kingdom. I t is the privilege
of Jehovah's witnesses to give this warning
to the people now in order that they may be
informed so that they can seek life, and seek
righteousness and meekness, and be spared in
that, great time of tribulation. I t is their de-
light to do so. They have devoted their lives
entirely to it, and they expect to use this
house and these farms for the purpose of
aiding and giving comfort to those persons
who humbly seek the Lord and who strive to
do His will and serve Him.
Now I wish to say to our neighbors that you
are wclconle to come, a t any time you wish,
to this place, and if it is possible for us to
render to you anything good it will be our
pleasure to do so. God's kingdom, s s outlined
in the Scriptures, is in striking contrast mith
the wicked element now that tries to rnle the
earth. I t is always some misguided ones, and
who are misguided by religious fanatics, who
attempt to do injury to those who are doing
good and advertising God's kingdom. Some
of this misguidrd element is in this part of the
country and has threatened violence against
this place. But no honest person approves
such. Our ileighbors and friends, even though
they do not see eye to eye mith us, believe in
freedom of thought, and freedom of action,
and freedom of worship. They believe in hon-
est and sincere treatment of their fellow citi-
zens. I have not had the pleasure of meeting
the sheriff of this community, but I am in-
forined that he is a man of this kind, m-ho
belieres in enforcing the law and does so, and
believes i n protecting people who are trying
to do right. If all officers in this world were
like this sheriff' here, there would be no such
thing as Hitlerism, no oppressive goverii-
ments, but the people would be permitted to
pursue their usual and customary n7ay of liv-
ing in peace and .exercising their right of as-
sembly, and right of worship, without inter-
ference. I am convinced that our neighbors
and friends fully concur with me in this re-
mark.
Be assured of this one fact: that we who
are here 011 this farm and on this place have
but one desire, and that is to do good and
serve our God and our King. We are deter-
mined to emulate our forefathers, who believed
in God and in Christ and in the Bible, and to
go straight ,forward serving tlie Most High
amidst any and all opposition, and to do so
come what may. Our forefathers provided an
asylum for the oppressed and persecuted, and
we have here endeavored to do the same thing.
And now I renew my words of welcome to
all of you and ask you to feel free to come, at
any time you will, to see us; and be assured
of our best wishes toward all who love right-
eousness.

While Mr. Morse was in Italy in the years
1830 and 1831, he became acquainted with
several ecclesiastics of the Church of Rome,
one of whom, a cardinal, made a T-igorousat-
tack upon the faith of the young artist. A
correspondence between them ensued, ailri
frequent intervievs. Mr. Blorse was led to be-
lieve, from what he learned in Rome, that a
political conspiracy, under the eloak of a re-
ligious mission, was formed against the United
States of America. When he came to Paris in
IS32 and enjoyed the confidence and friend-
ship of Lafaj-ette, he stated his convietions to
the Ceneral, who fully concurred with him
in the reality of such a conspiracy. Returning
to this country in the autulnn of 1832, invent-
ing the Telegraph on his homeward voyage, he
nerer became so ahsorbed in his invention as
to forget the impressions made in Italy re-
specting the danger to which his country was
exposed The con~ictionwas so strong that he
qave much time in subsequent )ears to the
publication in periodicals, in pamphlets, and
in volumes, of the facts and arguments which,
i n his jndgment, n-ere important to a fair un-
derstanding of the subject. I n the year 1834
Blr. Morse published a series of papers, which
the year following mere issued in a volume en-
titled "Foreign Conspiracy against the Lib-
erties of the United States: Revised and Cor-
rected, with Notes by the Author." The motto
on the title-page was from Spencer :
" . . oft fire is ~ ~ i t h o smoke,
a ut
And peril without show."
The papers, as they first appeared, were
copied widely, and, p e ~ v a d i n gthe whole coun-
try, made a deep and permanent impression.
The volume passed through numerous edi-
tions, and has proved one of the most efficient
works that has appeared in that prolific dis-
cussion.

book. I t was subsequently challenged, and
Professor Jlorse, though not responsible for
the statement, produced the written testi-
mony of living TI-itnesses,to whom Lafayette
made the remark.
In the year 1841 a series of papers from
the pen of Professor Morse, first published in
l Conlme~ce,
the J ~ l l r r l t /of was issued i n a small
volume, with the title: "Our Liberties De-
fended; the Question Discussed; I s the Prot-

I n the year 1854 a pamphlet was issued con-
taining a series of papers which Professor

 "Foreign Conspiracy Against the Liberties of the United States"
SUCH is the astounding title of a vol-
ume written by Samuel Finley Breese
RiIorse, ~vorld-famedAmerican inventor
of the electric telegraph.
The subject matter of the volume was
originally published serially in the New
York Observer, under the signatnre
"Brutus". The same material mas sub-
sequently revised and corrected, with
notes, by the author named above, who
a t that time was president of the Ka-
tional Academy of Design and also pro-
fessor of the Arts of Design in the Uni-
versity of the City of New Yorli. [For
other details of tlie life and the anti-
Catholic attitutle of Morse, and the cause
thereof, see Scrilsner's and other biog-
raphies of prolllinelit Americans.]
The "Fourtli Edition" of this extraor-
dinary book, titled a s shown on first line
of this page, was printed in New York
city in 1836 by Van Nostrand & Dwight,
146 Nassau Street. According to its title
page it was "Entered aceording to Act of
Congress, in the year 1835, in the Clerli's
Office of the district court of tlie South-

This is the slavish doctrine taught to the
Catholics of Poland. The people, instead of
having power or rights, are, according to this
catechism, mere passive slaves, born for their
masters; taught, by a perversioil of the threat-
e n i n g ~of religion, to obey without murniur-
ing, or questioning, or examination, the man-
dates of their human deity: bid to cringe, and
fawn, and kiss the very feet of majesty, and
deem themselves happy to be whipped, to be
kicked, or to die in his service. . . . I t was
Luther, and by a singular coincidence of day
too. on the fourth of J u l y , who first, in a
public disputation at Leipsic with his Popish
antagonist, called in question the divine right
of the Pope.
Let us now examine in contrast other po-
litical rights, liberty of conscience, liberty of
opinion, and liberty of the press. . . . No! it
is unnecessary to go farther than the present
day. The rcigninq pontiff, Gregory XVI.,
I shall again answer the question. H e has most
I opportunely furnished us with the present
I sentiments of the Catholic church on these
very points. I n his encyclical letter, dated
Sept. 1832, the Pope, lamenting the disorde1.s
I
and infidelity of the times, saps-
I "From this polluted fountain of 'iudiffer-
ence' flows tliat absurd and erroneous doc-
trine, or rather raving, in favor and defense
of 'liberty of conscience,' for which most
pestilential error tlie rourse is opened to that
entire and wild liberty of opinion which is
everywhere attempting the overthrow of re-
ligious and civil institutions, arid which the
unbhishing impudence of some has held forth
as a n advantage to religion. Hence t h a t pest,
of ccll others most t o be dreaded in a state,
unbridled liherty of opinion, licentiousness
of speech, and a lust of novelty, which, ac-
cording to the experience of all ages, portend
J U N E 25, 1941
the downfall of tlie most powerful and flour-
ishing empires."
"Hither ter~dsthat worst and never suffi-
ciently to be execrated and detested LIBERTY
OF THE PRESS, for the diffusion of all manner
of writings. tvhich some so loudly contend for,
and so actively promote."
H e complains, too, of the dissemination of
unlicensed books.
"No means must be here omitted, says
Glewzent XIII., our predecessor of happy
memory, in the Encyclical Letter on the pro-
scription of bad boolis-no means must be
here omitted, as the extremity of the case calls
for all our exertions, to extel-nzipzate t h e fatal
pest xi-hich spreads through so many works,
nor can the materials of error be otherwise
destroyed fhnn b y f h e flu?nes, which consume
tlie deprared elements of the evil."
Now all this is explicit enough, here is no
ambiguity. 11-e see clearly, from infallible au-
tllority, that the Catholic of the present day,
wherever lie mag be, if he is true to the prin-
ciples of his sect, cannot consistently tolerate
liberty of conscience, or liberty of the press.
[NOTEBY COPYIST: The foregoing ex-
cerpts, ~ e r b a t i mquotations from the
book writteii in 1835 by Samuel F. B.
Morse himself after a residence of sev-
eral years in Europe, portray unmistak-
ably the 1-ery heart of the damnable and
God-disholioring greatest nELIGIous sys-
tem of all time, namely, the THEME t h a t
the Head of tliat system (the pope, papa,
father) is tlie OXE man to whom all other
humans, whether rulers or ruled, a r e "by
divine right" subject. Astounding, in-
deed, is this blasphemous elairn when
viewed in contrast with the teaching of
tlie Son of the Almighty God, whose aim
\xTasa t all times not to magnify himself
nor to induce others to so do, but rather
was aln-ays to magnify and honor AL-
MIGHTY GOD,His Father, and to induce
every upright person to do iilrewise. And
it was this that earned for Jesus of
Nazareth the uncontrolled hatred of re-
ligionists, high alid low, of' His day and
all times thereafter.]

 Why Not Excornmasnicate Hitller l
T H E London Unizierse (Catholic) had
five columns trying to answer the sim-
ple question of why the pope does not es-
communicate Hitler and Mussolini. The
reason why he doesn't is that he is in ca-
hoots with them and well they know it.
I n their plans to overrun the world they
count on the alleged 400,000,000 Cath-
olics as their army, and have even men-
tioned it. Of course, it was inexpensive
for the pope to wire his congratulations
to the Protestant king of England that
he was not killed when a well-aimed bomb
hit their palace.
The real enemy of Britain, the fifth
colunln within her borders, is the Ronlan
Catholic Hierarchy. Right a t the crit-
ical time, the TJnited States alnbassadors
to Britain and Belgium, Messrs. Ken-
nedy and Cudahy, (guess their "church")
showed plai~ilyenough where the syni-
pathies of the Old Lady rest.
The London Catholic Herald adds an
explanatory note. I n its issue of Decein-
;. This is a time when the truth about all this
world unrest will bring real comfort and peace
of mind to those who desire to know it. Here's
how to get the true facts.
Consolation magazine, a 32-page biweekly
journal, approaches currel~tevents in a most
sound and logical manner, a way ill which no
other magazine does. Its editors believe that
soon this wicked and perveysc generation will
be replaced by an unending reign of righteous-
ness and that the present-day difficulties are
in fulfillment of Bible prophecies of old. They
believe that The Theocratic Government,
God's kingdom under Christ Jesus the Icing,
is the only hope for the peoples of earth.

Bishop Barnes' Theology
@ Bishop Barnes (Eirmingliam) is an
outspoken nian, is liberal-minded, witli
the courage of his convictions. But he is
a humanist rather tlian a Christian when
that word is intended to indicate a true
follower of Jesns Christ. Recently he
said to the yontli of Birmingham: "The
understanding of tlie world created by
liiodern science has collie to stay. Chris-
tian teachers must accept its methods
and results or they ~villbe ignored. Any
cioctrine ol' a 'fall' must yield to the
l;no~\-ledgetliat riian has risen from ani-
lilal predecessors, ancl still finds it hard
to overcome the origi~lalillstillcts which
served t11e11i well. Ecluallj- man!- stories
of the X e ~ vTestament cease to bpcome
liistc~ric facts . . . tliey -o-Pre stories
which nTere ill\-ented \\-hen Christians
tried to enliallce the greatness of tlieir
Lord. Tlle scholar says that the first
three Gospels a r e roliiantic biograpliy.
Tlins the Gospels a r e fact a i d romance,
hut pervading all religion." ,inrl this last
w~ordis the reg-sou why the cl~i~rches re-
tain them: tliey serve the purpose of
the cliu~ches!
Destruction of Churches
@ A great number of churclies lia\-e been
destroj-ecl ill the bombing. ,111 sections
have suff'ered, perhaps in about equal
proportions. What special effort tlie
Sazis have ~riadein this destruction call-
n:)t be li-iiown. The North IPesfet.il Daily
J f a i l published an itel11 which reads, "On
a map found in the coclqit of an enemy
plane brought do~vn recently all the
ellurches of a certain city were n~arli-ed
as alnmunition dumps." That nlay be
irue, but it nlwy also be tliat chm.ch bnild-
ings, being prominent, have got a good
share of the bombs. The old archbishop
of tlie Roman Catholic cathedral in South
London wept a s lie viewed the ruins of
his church; lie said pathetically he had
hoped tliat his prayers for the preserva-
tion of his churcli ~vouldhave heeri heard.
The Roman Catholics present their pray-
ers to "Saint Josepli", and "Saint
CONSOLATION
George", and to Mary herself, who, they
say, has a special care for England; and,
no doul~t,niany of them are heginning to
question why i t is that these clo not ap-
pear to be greatly concel.ncd. Xany Cath-
olics a r e getting iheir eyes opened to the
miserable falsity in the ~vorship of
"saints", and have learned that the whole
scheliie is no more than a deceit originat-
ing 11-ith the father of lies, the Devil.
Another Blitz on London
@ Since writing last London has had an-
other vicious blitz attack. I-Iundreds of
German bombers cailie over the city and
the London area am1 for six hours sliow-
ered their loads of lligli-explosive and
incendiary bombs. The Crerrlian account
said the attack was made on the Lolldon
docks and the port equipment. It was
made on certain sections and with dis-
crimination to wreck the city sectioils
and such parts as 1~7ouldbe most likely
to damage the business life of London.
Much damage was done, and many lil-es
were lost that night, and many of the
homes of the people were blowil into the
air. London is too big a city to be dis-
r u p t ~ dby tliese attacks: a s yet it is re-
silient, and to a very considerable extent
i t can adjust itself to tlze terrible contli-
tioas. The attack mas not one-sided; for
the Nazis got over 30 holnbers destroyed,
mostly by British night fighters.
As an illustration of I10717 London
i(
carries on", on the nest day, a. Sunday,
an assembly of Jehovah's witnesses gath-
ered in an auditorium as previously a r -
ranged, and there were upward of 2,000
persons present. A few of the number
had suffered personal loss, but not one
had heen in jnred. Under some clificul'cies
of transport all these had given their
day's witness, and met together in tlie
confidence of their service to Jehovah
and His Theocratic Kingdom, and in
gratitude for the care they realized he
has over those wlio serve Him, each of
them seeking to carry comfort to tlie
people mlio yet must bear tliis war on
their homes.

Reprisals
@ The natural instinct is to give the
countr:; froin which thc bonibers come
soi~letliingof that x7i:ich i s being suf-
fered. Thrre are many 11-11o call out for
sharp reprisals, hut as yet there is no
lond c q 7 for this: the people i n Britnin,
wllether of London or the other cities,
have confidence in the Governlnent, and,
with what is perllays remarkable re-
straint, show no desire to have the Ger-
rrian people subjected to such nialiciol~s
violence as thew blitz attacks bring.
Seabirds' Eggs for Food
@ h drive to collect seabirds' eggs to
supplenlent Britain's egg supply i s being
made. J t is expected tliat 200,000 eggs
will he collected in seven weeks. They
will be graded and distributed by the
Ministry of Supply, a.nd will sell a t the
ordinary rate for eggs. More than fifty
gangs of co1leeto1.s were set a t the eol-
lecting along tlie Yor1cshit.e coast. Tlie
climbers 1vor.e steel helmets and face
mns;is, to ward off attack. They lvere

waists anti worked with a ~vincli.
Why Not Bomb Rome? Asks Wells
& 13. G. TT7ells, the noted writer, in the
London Szi~z(layDispatch of January 19,
1941, wants to lillow why tlie British a r e
so timid about bombing Rome. H e points
out ihat tlie pope, Hitler and &Iussolini
a r e obviously in partnership, and that
tliis totali'calaian gang have not hesitated
to bonlh St. Paul's Cathedral, West-
minster Ahbey: Lambeth Palace and the
residence of I 6 n g George, and wonders
why these totalitarian gangsters should
be treated wit11 kid gloves. He thinks a
few bombs in the right place might do a
lot of good. I t would be educational f o r
tlle .totalitarian trio. JVells is not the only
one who is thinli-ing along these lines, and
the center of Catholicism rnay yet espe-
rience something like the treatment a t
present being accorded the center of
Protestantism.
