ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S
Vow Against the
Catholic Church
BY M. H. WILCOXON
LINCOLN'S WARNING
"I do not pretend to be a prophet. But
though not a prophet, I see a very dark cloud
on our horizon. "That dark cloud is coming
from Rome. It is filled with tears of blood. It
will rise and
increase till
its flanks will
be torn by a
flash of light-
ning, followed
by a fearful
peal of thun-
der. Then a
cyclone such
as the world
has never seen
will pass over
the country,
spreading ruin
and desolation
from north to
south. After it
is over there
will be long
days of peace
and prosperi-
ty ; for popery,
with its Jesu-
its and merciless Inquisition, will have been
forever swept away from our country. Neither
I nor you. but our children, will see these
things." 'From page 115, Fifty Years in the
Church of Rome, by Rev. Charles Chiniquy. )
