RomisH Hatrep.—A Lutheran missionary, writ- ing from Montreal, Can., to the Philadelphia Lu- theran, says: ‘‘Calling on a Lutheran lately she said to me: ‘I happened to fall on the icy pave- ment, when a man hurried to my assistance and with much politeness assisted me to my feet. He walked with me and offered to do anything possible for me. Later he asked me whether I was a Catholic. When I told him I was a Lutheran, he spit in my face and abruptly left me.’”’ : Foxy Pore.—Says an exchange: The Pope’s professed fondness for Americans reminds us very forcibly of the fable of the fox and the rooster. ‘‘T am so very fond of poultry,’’ said the cunning fox to the rooster; ‘‘I want all your hens to think well of me. They may all be sure that I have a very deep and ardent affection for them. Just let me into the poultry yard, and I will prove my fond- ness for them. Why will they harbor such base suspicions of me? I am so fond of them that I would do almost anything to induce them to permit me to take up my abode in their midst.’”’ "So, so,’’ said the watchful guardian of the yard, ‘‘you are fond of us, are you? Are you not the fellow that stole into the coop the other week and carried off the plumpest hen? Is that your fondness for us?’ Raising his warning cry, he called the farmer, who soon had the sly robber driven away. Thus the pope professes great tenderness for Americans, ‘‘Protestants and all.’’ And yet, is this not the one whose predecessors (of whose principles he is the present exponent) caused the land to be dyed with the blood of the Lord’s saints? Is he not the man who annually curses all Prot- estants with a solemn curse? Was it not Leo XIII who but a short time ago declared, through one of his servants, that if he had the power, he would transport the Inquisition to this country? The Lord graciously be with us, and protect us from all machinations of the Antichrist! As a dis- ciple of Jesus Christ, we plead that He may help us to ‘continue in His Word.”? ‘‘Continuing in His Word’? we shall be His disciples indeed. ‘‘Con- tinuing in His Word,’ we shall know the truth. ‘Continuing in His Word,” the truth shall make us free, John 8, 31. 32.
