How the Jesuits Elect Their Chief
How the Jesuits elect their chief is intimated in the following despatch from Rome, dated September 4: "All the delegates to the Congregation of the Company of Jesus celebrated mass this morning. Later the bell rang, announcing the beginning of the quadrivium, or election of a general of the society, to succeed the late Father Martin, and all the delegates retired to the quarters set aside for them, where they will remain four days without any communication with the outside world. The whole personnel of the college is forbidden to give out even the most insignificant particular of what is transpiring in the quadrivium." This "Society of Jesus" is the controlling order of the Roman Church. Its order of priests always put S. J. after their names. But just one expression of Jesus Himself shows that He is not the progenitor of such a society: He says, "In secret have I said nothing." The true society of Jesus is not a secret society.
