Catholic Chaplains in Penal Institutions Warning
Seriously, unless Protestants are awake, the Catholic Church will have its chaplains, authorized or unauthorized, in all our penal institutions. The Catholic Church is an institution that will bear watching. Its aggressive spirit pushes its plans into every possible avenue, and while Protestantism is asleep it does its work. The appointment of a chaplain for the State prison means the entire control of the religious instruction there in the end. If there is any principle involved worth contending for, it is time we were looking out for it. There are some things you can never mend after they are broken; some things you can never find after they are lost.—Watchman (Boston).
