Continued from page 1. present time has the Catholic church been the enemy of the Mexican peo ple, but ever since her establishment In Mexican territory. We shell hot attempt to show ear people all the ways in which the Rom an .Chprch has been the enemy of the Mexicans, but just one incident which took place at the time of the independ ence in 1810. Let us turn bach the pages of our history for a moment and contemplate what manner of do minion and power the Catholic church had'in the days when tha^devout man of God, Rev- Miguel Hidalgo y Costil la thought for the first time to make Mexico an independent nation, free from the tyranny of the Spanish Government. It was expected that she would use it in favor of the na tion* and to carry on the plans of liberty, it being her mission to help those who^werre oppressed by slavery, and to help ’those who were suffering for righteousness’ sake, and to con sole the broken hearted, but to the disgrace of our nation and to the eternal shame of the leaders of the Roman Catholicism, since that time the church has stained her hands with the blood which was shed by the death of.martyrs of our independence. Our heroes made one-mistake. They believed that to set Mexico free from the Spanish, Government was to set her free from the dominion of the Roman Catholic church . They ignor ed the fact that those so-called follow- • ers of the Lord Jesus Christ were the greatest enemies they ever had. There was never a better chance for the church and the people to come to gether and fight for a noble cause. But in those days the principles of Christianity—of peace, love, charity and tolerance—were forgotten even by those whose mission it was to impart them upon the earth. Hatred and op position were aroused in every way and in every place against those who fought to redeem the Mexicans from slavery (like those against the work of the Protestant church last year) by the leaders of Romanism. *' The following statements that have been collected by Senor J. E. Her nandez y Davalos_and Senor Genaro Garcia of Mexico, will show, by the eloquence of their facts and without any commentaries, how wicked and trait«K)us was the action of the lead ers of Romanism, in condemning the sacred cause of Mexican Independ pnsfi. The bishop of Mexico, Dr. Francis co Javier de Lizanda y Deumont, sent to the congregations of *his diocese an exhortation, that they should not , help in any may Senor Hidalgo in the revolutionary cause, declaring in the same, dated September the 24th, 1810, that “he felt a martyrdom to hear.that the revolutionaries were preparing themselves to shed blood, not know ing the unhappiness that they were to participate in, by not following the ways of peace.” He used of the Rom an fallacy to maintain his statement, threatening them with the danger of their souls being lost^f they would not shut their ehrs to the cries that had been raised -in Dolores and San Miguel el Grande. He threw impreca tions against Hidalgo, and called him “evil spirit, and precursor of the Anti Christ, and Liotrephes that sought his own fortune.” The same bishop of Mexico in an edict given the 11th of October 1810, comfirmed the excommunication de cree, issued by the'bishop of Michoa can, saying that “the faithful Chris tians were under the obligation, and punishment of mortal sin, and of per manent excommunication, save that they would observe this declaration.” The 24th of Sept. 1810, the bish op of Michoacan, Senor Manuel Abad y Queipo, threw an excommunication against the chiefs of the insurgents together with those that followed them, calling Hidalgo “Perjure” and Allende, Aldama y, Abasplo, agitators of tlie public order, corrupters of the people, sacrilegious, and perjures that have incurred in the highest excom munication of the canon: Siquis sua dent Diabolo. And he also declared excommunicated any person that will assist them, help or favor them in any way. And, as if this was not suf ficient, declared that also those who will enlist under their banner were also excommunicated. The viceroy Francisco Venegas sent a letter to the Rev, Father Guardian of San Fernando, asking him that he should exhort all their subjects, in the pulpit, in the confessionary and . evex^ in the conversations in society, to inspire all the inhabitants of the Kingdom, to their faithful adhesion to the cause of the Supreme Govern ment. The Congregations of Ecclesiastics of San Pedro sent to the viceroy an official letter communicating to him a resolution taken among themselves; that it wasV “their most earnest de sire to warn all people from the con fessionaries pulpits, and private con versations, of the danger of associat ing with the revolutionaries, and ex horting them to remain true ^pd faith ful to legal authorities that were rul ing the nation. 4 The Inquisition renewed all charges against Hidalgo which they had form-. I ed inv1800, and the 13th'of October 1810 an edict was sent out, and asked him to appear before them and answer all charges made against him, in which all insurgents were excommuni cated. The said edict fends like this: “And we command that this.. letter, shall be posted in all the churches of our district, and that no person shall take it off, dash it, nor conceal it, un der the punishment of excommunica tion and five hundred dollar fine” The Friars of the “Colegio Apostoli co dte Pachuca” sent to the viceroy1 edict, dated October the 13th, 1810, in j which they promised to send to the I different towns, groups of men to persuade the people that they should not undertake the cause of Independ ence ., ^. Dr. Agustin Iglesias, rector of San Angel, D. F. sent a letter to the viceroy in which he offered him, his faithful services and also his proper ty to help fight against the insur rection . , Dr. Eusebio Sanchez Pareja, rec tor of Alfajo'yucan, Hgo. informed the government of the revolutionary plans. » The "13th of February. 1811, Senor Manuel Gutierrez de la Concha re ported to the government the victory he had obtained over Hidalgo’s troops, with the help of a group of priests. The clergymen of Puebla, manifest ed their loyalty to the King by ah edict dated 27th of October, signed by more than 290 priests. Bishop Manuel Rodriguez de Aguirre of Zac atecas reported of his services rend ered'to the King, against the cause of Independence, and also calls Hidalgo “the fourth Herod. ” ~ Bishop Antonio Begova y Jordan, : wrote a letter to the viceroy 27th of j August 1811, in which he offered all his property and his own person in favor of the royal cause,' This and many other statistics will prove what has been said about the work of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico, at the time of the Inde pendence . Even today, when the constitution' of Mexico declared the separation of the church and jthe state, these chief leaders of the Roman Church are try ing to rule the country and keep the people in ignorance, far from true civilization, and education; and to sink them down to a lower state of slav ery. Shall we let these men rule and ruin a nation? No! No!! The country cannot have at tjie head of its govern ment and of its churches men who are but thieves, murderers, drunkards, adulterers, blashpemers and sodo mites. * *' As Miguel Hidalgo cried out for lib erty on the night of the 15th. of Sep tember, 1810 and said: “Long live America! Death to the bad govern ment!” so may God today help the Mexican people to cry once more for independence from the power of the Roman Church. SELECTS NEGRO SECRETARY OF RACE RELATIONS. Continued from page 1. locally, between the white and Negro churches, especially by state and local I conferences between white and Negro ! ministers, Christian educators and other leaders, for the consideration of their common problems. 4—To array the sentiment of the Christian Churches against mob vio lence and to enlist their thoro-going support in a special program of edu cation on the subject for a period of at least five years. 5.-,—To secure and distribute accur ate knowledge of the facts regarding racial relations and racial attitudes in general, and regarding particular , situations'that may be'under discus- I sioirfrom time to time. 6—-To develop^a public conscience "which will secure in the Negro equit. able provision fqy education, health, housing, recreation and all other as pects of community welfare. •7—To encourage efforts for the welfare of Negro workers and the improvements of relations between em [ ployers, Negro workers and white j wotfeers. 8— To make* more widely ' known , in the Churches the work and princi ples of the Commission on Inter-Raci al Co-operation, and especially to sup port its efforts to establish local in ter-racial committees. 9— To secure the presentation of the problem of race relations and of the Christian solution by white and Negro speakers at as many church gatherings as possible throughout the country.

Alexander of th^t body is to associated as on* of, the Secretaries of the Federal Council. The Federal Council’s announcement; of the formation of its Commission* last summer was received with great; commendation by both the white and Negro press. Since that time its plans have been developing and the flec tion as secretary of its Commission^ of a worker and churchman so well. known among white and black, North and South, gives good promise of sub stantial results in this effort to bring * the great influence of the Christian Church to bear upon the welfare ofi NegroeS and the fco-operative rela—-. tions of the races.
