Jesuits, Minorities, and Prudence
CARDINAL MANNING said in 1872: "The Jesuits are now at the head of the great Catholic mission in this land." That was said of England more than twelve years ago. It is now true of the United States. The peculiar work for which the Jesuits were invented is the education of the young. All the efforts made by Romanists to get control of schools, asylums, protectories, etc., are guided by Jesuits, whose touch is death to everything like freedom of thought or action in religious life.—N. Y. Observer. WHAT is a minority? The chosen heroes of this earth have been in a minority. There is not a social, religious, or political privilege that you enjoy to-day that was not bought for you by the blood and tears and patient suffering of the minority. It is the minority that have vindicated humanity in every struggle. It is the minority that have stood in the van of every moral conflict, and achieved all that is noble in the history of the world.—John B. Gough. GRANT me prudence to avoid him that flattereth me, and to endure patiently him that contradicteth me.—Thomas à Kempis.
