THE RIGHT TO EDUCATE.

THE New York Illustrated Christian Weekly says: "Protestant Christians must never forget nor overlook the fact that the Church of Rome holds tenaciously to its right to control the education of the children, and is determined to overthrow the public school system as soon as it has the power. The Catholic Herald of this city, in a recent editorial, takes the broad ground that 'the State has no right to educate the children, nor even have parents, merely as parents; the Church and spouse of Jesus Christ alone has the right and duty to educate.' This and other recent utterances indicate that the Catholic hierarchy here, as in Belgium, will bring the power of their Church to bear on this matter."
