The July or John Huss number of the PROTESTANT MAGAZINE met with ready sale. It has found its way into the homes of ministers, professional men, and lay members of all churches. Newspapers have commented upon this important, universal celebration of the martyrdom of Huss, and the spirit of this noble man is thus revived. The August Number of the “Protestant Magazine”
Is equally good, and of vital interest. Those who missed the July issue should get in their orders early. The PROTESTANT MAGAZINE is set for the defense of the gospel, as embodied in the third angel’s message, and where organized effort is made to preach any other, it is ready to protest. The object of one such organization is to create in America a “Roman Catholic atmosphere”—a condition so predominantly Catholic that whatever Rome proposes shall be taken as a matter of fact. American citizens will awake from this stupor too late—their liberties gone forever. The August PROTESTANT tells the story. SOME FEATURES OF THE AUGUST NUMBER OF THE PROTESTANT MAGAZINE
“The Religious Issue in Politics—Once More;” a letter of a correspondent who takes exception to the statement that Roman Catholics should not be excluded from political office merely because they are Roman Catholics, is answered at some length. “The Crime of Opinion;” an open letter from a Roman Catholic, which appeared in the newspaper in Lima, Peru, shows the real attitude of Roman Catholics toward the censorship of the press. “Un-American Political Doctrines;” a Roman Catholic editor challenges the editor of the Protestant Magazine to name some of the un-American political doctrines advocated by the Roman Catholic Church. This article is an answer to this challenge. “Subscriptions, Crucifixes, and Purgatory;” a Roman Catholic magazine offers as a premium for renewed subscriptions a crucifix which, when blessed by a priest and used in the prescribed way, will result in various indulgences, including a plenary indulgence to the user. This easy method of escaping purgatory is discussed in this article. “Creating an Atmosphere;” a brief statement of the means now being used to create a Roman Catholic atmosphere in America, and thus make it easier to carry out the program to “make America Catholic.” “Two Very Human Types: Erasmus and Luther;” a discussion of the characteristics of these two men and their attitude toward the Reformation of the sixteenth century. “The Great Counterfeit of Christianity;” the first of a series of articles dealing with the Roman apostasy. Various notes, extracts, and editorial briefs dealing with the current history of the Roman Catholic Church. These are an interesting feature of the magazine.
