Superintendent of the Illinois Vigilance Association, last week thrilled a Chicago audience, mostly women, by producing on the Masonic Temple platform a black robed, hooded, masked figure who croaked sepulchrally: "I have consorted with the dregs of humanity.

...trouble His Majesty still further, came last week at St. Cuthbert's church, Darwen, Lancashire, an actual beginning of physical strife over the great spiritual issue. When the Rev. F. B.

Intolerance is one of the cleverest rapiers used by the Catholic Church...
PATRICK J. WARD Director Bureau of Publicity & Information N. C. W. C. Washington, D. C. The Rev. John J. Burke's letter to the Living Church: The editorial of your [Living Church] issue for Nov. 5 declares: "We are not among those who delight in finding fault with Roman Catholicism." The editorial itself with belies that statement. . . . . The reason for this editorial is a business card which has come to your attention.* If it is not your delight to find fault with Roman Catholicism, why did you not take pains to find out if there was any such official...
