JESUIT IMMIGRATION INCREASING.
By Wm. Penniman
A NEW YORK paper of Dec. 30, 1880, says : " An extensive Jesuit immigration is in progress. The members of this society expelled from France and Germany are settling in large numbers in America, especially in the West. Superintendent Warren, of California, writing to a friend says : ' Their schools are everywhere, and number probably 2,000 in the State. Their new College of St. Ignatius is the largest, finest, best equipped of its kind in the United States. Three years ago the property of the Roman Catholic Church in San Francisco out-valued the sum total of the Protestant churches, parsonages, asylums, schools, and Young Men's Christian Associations by $47,000. To-day the excess is probably more than three times as much. They blow no trumpets, are sparing with statistics ; but are at work night and day to break down the institutions of the country, beginning with the public schools. As surely as we live so surely will the conflict come, and it will be a hard one. ' " Yes, the conflict will come, urged on by Satan and the powers of darkness ; yet the true Christian should fight " night and day " with the " sword of the spirit " to gain the victory ; and when the " enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
