I may have written with prejudice, and I ask God to prejudice me against _all_ wrong that I may live to do His work and glorify Him. He knows that I hold no ill-feeling against _any_ Roman Catholic individual--laity, sister, priest or archbishop. But the system they represent--the system that I have served so faithfully for so many years--I have no sympathy for. Whatever a sister, priest or archbishop may be, the system has made them. I only hope and pray that they will all see the light and come out of their superstition and live the religious life they entered the Roman Catholic church to live. God's Word says, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." In the last lines of this book, I wish to plead with each and every American to stand for the right, and do not be afraid to show your colors. Stand for the true American principles; stand by that Wonder of Wonders, the Menace--which has been a Martin Luther in print; and above all, _stand together_. Unite--for without union there is no strength. Follow the Roman Catholic system in this respect. And when the patriotic men and women do unite on one common ground and for the one cause--love of God, freedom and country--there need be no fear of a second St. Bartholemew's Day; there need be no fear of a repetition of the terrible Inquisition of Spain; there need be no fear of internal strife as poor, blood-drenched Mexico is experiencing today. All I ask is for you to think on the few thoughts I have endeavored to give you in plain words, and to take the warning as coming from one who lived for thirty-one years. "THE DEMANDS OF ROME" Yes, a church without a Bible Is like a ship without a sail, Trying to withstand the tempest In some fearful, howling gale; Yes, a church without a Bible Is like a general in the fight, Who is trying empty-handed To put enemies to flight. It will surely be defeated; Foes without and foes within Drag it onward, downward, plunging In a deep abyss of sin. In the Bible is many a remedy; If 'twas hidden in its heart, It from pagan rules and customs Would forevermore depart. APPENDIX. I hesitate to add this appendix, for I have copied a great many documents and letters in the preceding chapters. But this case, which I will present to you, will be additional proof that the same wrongs which I tried to right, existed years before and that there was no redress.
