Errors of the Roman Catholic Church, or, Centuries of oppression, persecution and ruin . tion inthe holy scriptures, but having detained you long already,I hasten to bring this hastily written and very imperfectlecture to a close. Let us remember that if any manspeak, he should speak as the oracles of God; and thedoctrines and practices of any Church not founded uponthe word of God, have no claims upon intelligent men ;and that the assertion that the Church, composed of falliblemen, can legislate for the people, is a bold, bad, assump-tion. In conclusion, if the Bishop whose lecture is the)ccasion of this paper, had been as diligent to tell thepeople what Catholics do believe and teach, as he wassuccessful in concealing the most offensive doctrines ofhe Church, he would have entitled himself to more respect. 296 ELDER THOS. P. HALEY. No amount of eloquence and elegant rhetoric can concealfrom the people the facts that Roman Catholicism is notNew Testament Christianity, and bears little resemblanceto it. That God may bless this effort to His glory, is ourdevout wish. 0rt E When the church needed armed men to enlist as Crusad-ers, the young men of the church shouldered the musket andsabre and obeyed the orders of the church. When the churchwanted to get rid of the Saracens the faithful arose en masseand exterminated them. The church may have to call on youto defend her right in this country, and I know the young menwill obey the church, and take up arms to Exterminate theEnemies of the Roman Catholic Church.
