IN THE LAND WHERE WITCH-
CRAFT FLOURISHED
Magazines and newspapers pub-
into the coffers of the Catholic
Church. It is not improbable that
some of the priests are encouraging
this foolish superstition on the part
of the pe pie for the profit that the
Church is reaping out of the busi-
ness.
It is indeed strange that in this
enlightened age—and' in New Eng-
land!—a superstition as foolish as
the witchcraft craze of three cen-
turies ago could in

pie of that section

Christianity.
We do not discount the miraacles
of the Bible. We believe that Jesus,
who was God Incarnate, had the
power to perform miracles and the
power to enable his disciples to per-
form them. But the notion that a
person can go through with some
foolish incantation or mere formula
of words and action at the tomb of
a dead man and thereby bring about
the performance of one miracle af-
ter another is too utterly foolish for
intelligent white folks to counten-
ance for one moment.
In our opinion, this is another big
fake being perpetrated by somebody
who knows better ■upon benighted ig-
noramuses and despairing sick peo-
ple just for the money that they can
coin out of it. And we doubt if

because much of it is bad ?
Shall we keep our children out of

No. We would not think

Do we then condone the evil and

at all.
