Selected from thousands received from clergymen, attorneys, business men, professors, and other wide-awake, patriotic citizens Rev. ——, pastor First Baptist Church, Washington: —
"I have not had such a feast of good old-fashioned Bible doctrine for a long time. God bless and prosper your good work. It ought to reach every man and woman in the world." Rev. ——, pastor Third Street M. E. Church, Pennsylvania: —
"Ten days ago I subscribed for Protestant Magazine. Wish to state that I am more than pleased with the copy given me by the agent. If possible, I wish to secure all back numbers of the same. Hope to secure quite a few subscribers in my church in the near future." Editorial Dept. of Christian Herald, New York City, N. Y.: —
"A number of your magazines received have interested us sufficiently to create a desire to see all those you have published. We have on hand the following five: . . . Kindly supply all missing numbers from the beginning, with bill, which will be promptly remitted." Rev. ——, pastor First Free Baptist Church, Michigan: —
"Enclosed find price of one year's subscription. I am pastor of a church in the midst of a Catholic population. Am trying to gather the Protestants under one banner in the fight against Romanism. Many are taking the ——, but I prefer your magazine, and shall try to obtain subscribers for it." Rev. ——, and Rev. ——, Minnesota: —
"We certainly are glad to hear such clarion tones from your bugle, and fully accord with what you say. As Lutherans, we know what grave dangers lurk in the aggressiveness of the Catholics. May you continue boldly to make manifest their insidious and specious arguments and ways and means by which they beguile the public. May your subscription list reach many thousands." Rev. ——, pastor German Evangelical Lutheran Church, Connecticut: —
"I read your magazine with profound delight. Enclosed find subscription. Wish you great success in the fight against the most dangerous corporation in the world." Rev. ——, associate pastor —— Presbyterian Church, Washington, D. C.: —
"I rejoice in the good work the Protestant Magazine is doing. Evidently we are going to have a 'time' in this country, and you are furnishing an arsenal of fine ammunition for the warfare that is coming. Enclosed find $2 in payment for bound volumes 1, 2, and 3." Rev. ——, pastor Christ —— Church, Washington, D. C.: —
"Your magazine is doing excellent work. The Foss-O'Connell incident is certainly a powerful indication of what the Roman Church is striving after in our republic. In their ambition for office and power, the politicians are ready to bow down before the Roman idol, and sacrifice to it that precious liberty which cost centuries of struggle, blood, and devotion. The public press is also in the power of Rome." Rev. ——, Iowa: —
"I have translated your 'Theses' into Esperanto. Your 'fight against popery,' ought to be conducted not only upon a national, but also upon an international basis. Popery takes good care not to show its real face in our country. To learn its true features, Americans must look to its actions in other countries, and compare its history, past and present. It is a national danger for our republic, but resting on an international base. Rome has five international Esperanto papers to fight for the Pope. Protestants have only one little Esperanto paper, whose editor is so blind as to refuse contributions written against popery." Rev. ——, pastor German-English Lutheran St. Peter's Church, ——, Canada: —
"You can understand that as a Lutheran pastor I delight in your magazine. Yes, it is high time to speak and let our trumpet sound in clear tones." Rev. ——, pastor church of ——, Washington, D. C.: —
"Have seen one or two numbers of the Protestant Magazine, and it seems to me very well done. There is imperative need for all Protestants to get together in united phalanx against the aggressions of the Jesuits in this country." Rev. ——, pastor Lutheran Church, Iowa: —
"I shall surely do all in my power to help build up the circulation of the Protestant Magazine. My aim is to win subscribers for it in my own congregation. Later on I shall send you the addresses of clergymen, many of whom I trust will subscribe.
"May the good God continue to bless your work in the future, and may the Protestant Magazine be a blessing and a leader to the truth for many. Faithfully your brother." Rev. ——, pastor Grace Lutheran Church, Wisconsin: —
"Pardon my taking a little of your time. I had to write my appreciation of your magazine. I truly believe the time is ripe, if not overripe, for a calm presentation of historical and present-day facts regarding the spirit and aim of the Catholic Church. There are a great many Protestant ministers asleep, and they need to be aroused. There is a woeful lack of knowledge on this subject among the laymen; and when you tell them facts, they are slow to believe. For this reason we need the Protestant Magazine to present these facts in a calm, forceful manner, as it does. We need to persist in the presentation, and I will do all I can to assist you."
