Don’t you think that Dad A oil had better
read his Catholic exchanges, before he writes
any more denials about Catholic faith in the
miraculous virtues of “holy” medals, amulets
and charms?
Suppose a Protestant should advertise and
sell medals warranted to save men in railroad
accidents, cure their cows, save their chick
ens, keep the lightning from hitting them,
, bring rain, restore eyesight, rent their houses,
prevent hog cholera, preserve houses from
fire, find lost chickens, watches, rings and
monev!
Suppose Protestants should use. the mails
to cheat people out of their money in this
way!
You know what w’ould happen: a “fraud
order” would put those swindlers out of busi
ness, too quick to talk about.
Even a mental healer, like Mrs. C. C. Post
(Helen Wilmans), who used her money to
create the beautiful town of Seabreeze, Flor
ida, w y as prosecuted, persecuted, ruined and
hounded to her death by the Federal Govern
ment, because she claimed to be able to cure
without medicine, and used the mails in her
business.
The same Government w’hich prosecuted
Mrs. Post and destroyed her, tolerates the
continual use of the mails by these Romanist
cheats and swindlers, who pretend that money
paid to them, will cause a mythical St. An
thony, a mythical St. Rita, and an imaginary
“Queen of the Heavens,” to cure all manner
of diseases, find all sorts of lost property, pro
cure all sorts of employment, restore sight
and hearing, save people from storms, pesti
lence, fires, accidents, stop Ue weather when
there is too much rain, and stop the drought
w hen there is not enough weather.
