Church People ' in America
We have in this country ' [the United States], says the Catholic Advance, ' about eighty millions of people, and of this number only thirty millions of " church people " (such is the term used by some of the " yellow press people.) Again of the number of church adherents about fifteen (millions), or one-half, are Catholics. There are fifty millions who are without the pale of Christianity, yet our neighbors are fond of spending millions in foreign missions. Would it not be a very sensible thing to clean up at home? Begin, for instance, by training the injured youth in our public schools. We believe the anti-<3hristian disease has its origin there.'
