“The Promised Land”

By Editor

WE are not surprised that some Roman Catholic papers refer to the Protestant Magazine in no complimentary terms. This is to be expected. The truth hurts more than abuse and tirade. We are gratified, however, to find in different Protestant papers favorable mention of the work being done by this magazine. A German Methodist weekly, Der Christliche Apologete, in its issue of September 3, contained the following words of commendation: —

“This monthly, published in Washington, D. C., deserves thanks from all freedom-loving persons in America for the notable service it renders in the enlightenment of the people concerning the true character of Catholicism and the danger with which our country is threatened by Rome’s political program.”

The October issue of the Protestant Magazine, now ready, contains one article of great value. Under the title “The Promised Land” there are brought together in chronological order many of the utterances of the representatives of Rome for the past ten or fifteen years relating to the purpose to make America Catholic. One of the frontispieces is a reproduction of a telling cartoon upon this subject, with the same title, which appeared in Harper’s Weekly forty-three years ago. This number ought to have a very wide circulation. Any reader of the REVIEW who does not see the magazine regularly ought to send ten cents for a copy of the October issue.
