ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
By Editor
In view of such facts as the following, we do not see how Protestant parents can send their children to Romish schools, and cherish any hope of their still retaining Protestant views. The Alabama Baptist justly comments:— "We know very well that the Roman Catholic teachers promise that no compulsion or undue influence will be exerted upon the Protestant pupils; but the facts tell a different story. Fully seven-tenths of the Protestant children thus educated become Roman Catholics. Thus we read of one convent, in which nearly twenty Protestant girls renounced Protestantism within three months; and of a nunnery in Montreal, in which, out of forty Protestant girls who at one time entered the institution, to be educated there, not less than thirty-eight became Roman Catholics. In the establishment of the Louisville 'Parochial Schools,' there is a candid avowal of the design of these institutions—to build up Roman Catholic congregations. Let this fact be remembered by all whom it concerns—and let them act accordingly."
