A Roman Catholic Correspondent

By Editor

A FRIEND of the Roman Catholic Church writes a letter to this office with reference to a statement contained in a recent issue of the paper that the 'Holy Catholic Church put to death fifty millions of the saints of God.' The correspondent above referred to emphatically says, 'You lie,' and demands proof, and then shows that he would accept no proof which might be given, by saying that 'there never was a saint of any kind in Protestantism, and never can be.' He then says that the Protestants are represented by the locusts of Rev. 9:3. Of course the destruction of fifty millions of locusts, directly or by instigation, is nothing, but the destruction of Protestant saints—there never was nor ever will be any! Nothing would be proof to such a man. He has rejected it before it is presented.
