would like to know what wars the
Jesuits carrie'd on." Professor G Smith
has informed him of his charges
against them, when he mentioned
"The bloody extirpation of Pro-
testantism in Bohemia, the Thirty
Years' war in Gertcany, the Revoca-
tion of the Edict of Nantes, and the
murderous persecution of the French
Protestants, which followed, the count-

the Spaniards in the Low Countries;,"
the Franc-Grrroan War of 1870.
Of: course the Jesuits did not theta

the sabre. They were the instigators
and.the, secular powers did the work.

of a Jesuit interfering with political
matters in Canada?' I showed by
quotation from the Witness, that Mr.
Mercier has pleaded in his defence,
that he and his Government were
threatened with eeelesiasticalpenalties
if they did not restore "The Estates,"
and I also showed from the pamphlet,
