The Protestant Magazine and How It Is Being Received
Three cheers for the Protestant! The best magazine I ever saw.—U. G. Adkins, United States Commissioner. Without the Protestant Magazine for December, you will hardly be able to explain the good that Rome is now claiming to be doing for this country. Please send me your valuable Protestant Magazine. I bought a copy the other day and found it the best of the kind I ever saw.—C. A. Ennis. I have heard much about the Protestant Magazine, and have read some articles that were taken from it. I have never seen a copy of the magazine myself, but from what I have heard about it, I believe I should like to subscribe for it. Please send me your subscription rates.—C. R. Sutton. I have just finished reading the last Protestant. It is an exhibition of the cleanest, clearest demonstration of the fundamental truth of the gospel that I have ever read, and I am satisfied that there are but few of our people, much less other people, that ever get hold of the truth on this great subject.—J. H. Morrison. Of course the Protestant Magazine needs no reference in this office, as it is one of the magazines we read with deep interest and implicit confidence in the accuracy of its articles. We should like to see every member of the organization reading it regularly.—Secretary of the National Court Guardians of Liberty, New York City. We in this State well appreciate the value of the Protestant Magazine to the cause of Americanism, and know that it is one of the best magazines published to combat Romanism, not because of any sensational statements contained therein, but because of its conservatism and accuracy.—State Recorder for Illinois of the Guardians of Liberty. I want to express my sincere appreciation, as I have done before, of the spirit in which the Protestant Magazine is edited. With an admirable candor and directness, yet withal in a kindly and gentlemanly way, the Protestant Magazine sets forth the anti-Christian and un-American character of the Roman Catholic organization, particularly of its hierarchy. For this very reason I always pass on to others my copy of the magazine.—Rev. O. F. Engelbrecht. I do not see how I have been able to do without the Protestant Magazine as long as I have. The dignified way in which you expound the tenets and teachings of evangelical Protestant Christianity and also oppose the political aims and ambitions of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in the United States, meets with my humble yet hearty approval. The Protestant Magazine is worthy of approval for its service in the cause of Protestant truth and morality, and I take great pleasure in recommending it to the reverend Protestant clergy and laity as well as to Orangemen. Every Protestant family should receive and read the Protestant Magazine.—Supreme Grand Deputy of Iowa, Loyal Orange Institution. I am taking fifty Protestant Magazines every month, and am also selling and giving away a great many tracts on Romanism. The Protestant Magazine is surely the best publication of its kind in existence, and I am selling it and giving it to business men and others in this city who are interested.—H. H. Harmon. I think the Protestant Magazine is a very important magazine to circulate among our people, as well as among those not of our faith. Surely the time is ripe to put forth every effort to enlighten our people concerning the inevitable in reference to the Catholic movement in America, so we shall pledge ourselves to do all we can for the circulation of this magazine.—Conference President. I have been a subscriber to the Protestant Magazine for a year, and appreciate it very much; so I am inclosing you a money order for a three years’ “indulgence.” I have been a close observer of the trend of events for several years, and I think that the cause of Christianity is well served in having a fearless magazine like yours to espouse its cause. I admire your style, and wish you long and continued success.—Robt. Richardson. I find quite a number of men working in Philadelphia in the interest of the Menace and American Citizen, but I can’t find any who are pushing the Protestant Magazine. With your permission I should be glad to do so. I have gone so far as to give a certain worker sixty cents for a subscription, and he sent it back. I hunted him up and offered him the difference, if there was any, and he then said that he would not take my money as he did not know where to send the subscription. It was only yesterday that I found out that your magazine is published in Washington.—Extract from a letter. While handling that excellent June Protestant one day at the State Capitol, during a session of the State legislature, I sold a legislator one copy, and he immediately began to read “Why We Are Protestants,” and was so impressed with the first paragraph that he got busy and sold twelve more copies for me to fellow legislators as they filed into the assembly room. A priest (Roman Catholic) also purchased a copy of the April number, saying that of course our editor was a fool to fight the mother church, but was so well-informed and fair-minded that he could read his writings.—Mrs. R. O. Terry, Atlanta, Ga. Inclosed find check for which send the Protestant Magazine, according to your fifteen months’ offer, to the following fifteen names. They are the leading men of this place.—Dr. L. L. Andrews. I canvassed my audience at the tent effort I am holding here, for the Protestant Magazine, and as a result am sending you twenty-three yearly and six months’ subscriptions.—Carlyle B. Haynes. I have been a subscriber to your magazine for the past year, and I wish to say that it is the only magazine or paper that I read from cover to cover. I have four more subscriptions, which you will find inclosed.—W. C. Dulany. Glad to send you inclosed money order for two dollars for two subscriptions to our excellent magazine and stanch defender of our faith, to the following two friends of ours. . . . To all our friends as they visit us we commend heartily our Protestant Magazine.—T. A. Willson. The Protestant Magazine, to which I have been a subscriber for the past six years, is certainly worthy of a prominent place in every library. The dignified tone of its contributions is certainly commendable. May the Lord grant you further prosperity.—Rev. Wm. Schierbaum. Your magazine is a gem to be prized, and should be read and studied by all Christians and Protestants. It certainly has been a great help to me, and I thank the dear Lord very, very much and often for bringing your magazine into my hands; for by his help and the valuable articles and proofs in your magazine, I was able to convert my wife, who was a devout Catholic. . . . I am sure your magazine can aid others as it has aided me, and I will speak a good word for it wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself.—R. H. Behrendt.
