THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE "SECOND" COMMANDMENT. To tllt Editor ot the PEMBROKE COUNTY GUARDIAN. Sir,-I regret to again trespass on your valu- able space, but the Hev, Alexander Roger's letter calls for a brief reply from me. Your readers have all the data before them, and can judge whether Mr Roger's statement that I have failed in frankness in the matter of the Irish catechism is a fair one. I very con- fidently leave the matter in their hands. At any rate they will know now exactly what Mr Roger's talk of "suppressing" the "Second" command- ment amounts to. As to the question concerning Jeroboam which Mr Roger asks me to answer frankly, it would be well if my opponent would himself exercise a little frankness in the matter. I can find nothing in the sacred narrative to warrant Mr Roger's mild description (assumed for controversial pur- poses) of Jeroboam's offence, on the contrary it peems to me to have been an act of idolatry as flagrant as any the Jews were ever guilty of. I indignantly reject Mr Roger's insinuation that there is in the scriptural narrative anything at all analogous to what I have shown to be the Catholic doctrine and practice regarding the veneration of sacred images. Your readers have only to com- pare their Bibles with the extracts I have cited to see this at a glance. We are told (I. Kings c. 12 v. 28-29) that Jeroboam made two calves of gold, and said unto the Israelites "Behold thy gods, 0 Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt." Again Ahijah, speaking by the Holy Ghost of the King of Israel's offence, describes it far differently from Mr Roger. Thou hast done evil "he says (I. Kings XL\. v-9) "above all that were before thee, for thou hast gone and made thee other gOdf;, and molten images to pro- voke Me to anger, and thou hast cast Me behind thy back." Here was no worshipping Jehovah, if words mean anything; these things were made as gods, and worshipped as such and yet Mr Roger, with the extracts before him of what the Catholic Church teaches with regard to images, dare to attempt a surreptitious parallel between Jero- boam's crime and Catholic worship. I trust this is sufficiently frank for your correspondent. ID is indeed never right to disobey one of God's commands, but let us be quite sure we understand all its bearings, and let us not sacrifice the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free at the bidding of those whose conception of Christianity is vague and shadowy to the last degree. When such a Protestant as Lord Shaftesbury can make such an admission as the following, Catholics can afford to treat with the contempt they merit, the ac- cusations brought against the Church in respect of her use of sacred images. "At Padua, bought a small crucifix. The worship of the material or the mere representation is senseless, wicked, and idolatrous, but to bear about a memorial of what God Himself once exhibited to the world, does but simply recall His death and passion, and forces us, as Scripture has foretold, to look on Him whom we pierced.' (Life, by Edwin Hodder p.95.) I am, &c., F, W. LEWIS. Cardiff, June 9th, 1902.

THE PROTESTANT LECTURES IN HAV- ERFORDWEST. Dear Sir,—Having been from home I have only just now read your last two issues. May I hasten to say that Mr Lewis has very kindly sent on to me his promised pamphlets—one of sixteen pages entitled, "A Letter to candid Protestants on the methods of the Rev. Alexander Roger and the Protestant Alliance," and another of eight pages headed, "Hard Facts for Honest Protestants," a further exposure of tho Protestant Alliance and the Rev. Alexander Roger—and these I be pleased to send, on application, to your readers gratis and post free. I should advise these same readers to procure also, even if they have to buy Mr Roger's leaflet on "Mr Lewis as a contro"- versialist," for there is with the three a rare t,reat, in store for them. I may a.'&o say here that I am always only too willing to assist "men of good will" in any enquiry into Catholic doctrine, policy, or practice—and this without any view whatsoever to their "conversion." Of one thing they may rest perfectly assured that there is among Catholics pes feet unity as to Catholic teaching—no little comfort to the enquirer-and if this does not seem to he the case, the enquirer will know that he is to lace with either colossal ignorance" or d malicious misrepre- sentation," The remedy is obvious—consult any intelligent Catholic. May I once more tender my best thanks for your courtesy and kindness and re-echo Mr Lewis' sentiment of admiration for your" admirable spirit of fair-play." Quite ad- mirable too has been the accuracy in printing such long and unusual quotations as Latin and Spanish. Yours, &c,, W. FINUCANE. Catholic Church, Haverfordwest, June 16, 1902

LIVIDOINCE, NOT HEARSAY.—A remarkable invi s" tigatiou has been mane by a tru tworthy repuiie1 into a remarkable oure near Merthyr, ascribed to :h" use 01 Dr Wiiii ns' pink pills for pale people. The whole affair has been sifted out, and an interview with the person concerned obtained, with the result that the case is found an astonishing one. The evid- ence collected by the reporter is submitted in another column. From what we can learn, Welsh people swear by Dr Williams' pink pills, and it is not to be wondered at in view of the hundreds of cures they have effected in esses of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism, and sciatica, and all diseases arising from impoverishment ot the blood, scrofula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs, aDsetnia, pale and sallow complexions, general muscular weakness, loss of appetite, palpitations, pams in the back, nervous headache and neuralgia, early decay, all forms of female weakness and hys- teria. These pills are a tonic, not a purgative. They are genuine only with the full name-Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People-and are sold by all chem- ists and by Dr Williams' Medicine Company, 46, Holborn-viaduct, London, E.G., at 2s 9d a box, or six. boxes for 13s 9d. Pink pills sold loose, or from glass jars, are not Dr Williams' pink pills. Accept them only in the pink closed wrapper as above des- cribed. Look before you Leap!
