Canada as an Empire Center
• The United States is slowly awaken-

British Columbia and Marquesas
• A Norwegian scientist and traveler
back in British Columbia from a stay in
the Marquesas Islands, more than a thou-
sand miles southeast of the Hawaiian
Islands, says that he found carvings
there identical with carvings in the Bella
Coola valley, Br-itish Columbia.

natives of Polynesia carne from the
mainland of Asia around through Alas-

canoes there sixty' feet long made of
American pine.

1940-1~)41.
During the
yea
r s
1918 and 1919 the Lord's witnesses were

c
stopped under pretext of the war. The
war hysteria then served as a blind for
the
foul work of the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy and other religionists. Again
'the American people are being whipped
into a lather for war. A rapacious and
bloody dictator acting for the pope has
trampled over the dead and dying bodies
of the Nazi-slain. Again Americans, in
panic over the threat to their lives and
institutions, have been induced to attack
Jehovah'switnesses, while the real "fifth
columnists" laugh behind the scenes at
the gullibility of Americans. None gives
protection to Jehovah's witnesses and
they are left to the merciless Papal
wolves. And yet Jehovah's witnesses
have already rendered a great service to
all lovers of freedom.
Had not the duplicity of the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy been exposed during
the past five years, every, nation now
would be under the absolute dominating,
control of that instrument of Satan and
there would be no liberty whatsoever en-
joyed. Thanks be unto Jehovah God and.
His beloved Son, Christ Jesus, for giv-
ing the people who love righteousness an
understanding of the wickedness and in-
iquity of the Hierarchy at the present
'time: Jehovah foreknew all this wicked-
ness, of course, from the beginning. He
caused His prophecies to foretell it and
in the last few years He has revealed,
through Christ Jesus, to the true follow-
ers of Christ the meaning of these proph-
ecies and made it clear that the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy, together with the
Nazi-Fascists, constitutes "theabomina-
tio~
that maketh desolate",'
~6ncerning
,
which the prophet Daniel wrote, and also
of which the Lord Jesus spoke. Jehovah
has used His witnesses on earth to go
about amongst the people and inform
them. .Iehovah's witnesses are those in-
dividuals who are the true followers of
Christ Jesus who shun religion as a dead-
ly enemy and who devote themselves
wholly to God's kingdom under Christ.

They are of no denomination, no sect, no

eousness and hate iniquity and who have
devoted themselves' entirely to the serv-
ice of Almighty God and His King. For
this reason, as J esus stated.. they are
hated of all nations for the sake of the
name of Jehovah and Christ Jesus. The
fact that Jehovah has caused His wit-
nesses to proclaim these great truths in
the past few years is proof conclusive
that the day is at hand when He
com-
pletely clean out every vestige of the
Devil's organization, chief of which' on
earth is the Roman Catholic Hierarchy.
Pacelli, the present head of the Hier-
archy, like a two-faced Janus, now turns
his hypocritical smile upon the young
people or the world and says: "To re-
place the Bible and its morals in esteem
and honor." (New York
Herald Tribune,
October 7, 1940) No other institution
that ever existed has kept the Bible out
of the hands of the people as has the
Hierarchy. No other organization that
ever existed is so reprehensible or re-
sponsible for the darkness that now en-
shrouds the people concerning
th~~+ple
and morals as the most immoral ciowCf"-
that has ever afflicted the earth, the Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchy. For centuries
the Hierarchy burned the Bible, and per-
secuted to death
eve~
man who attempt-
ed to translate the Bible and publish it
in various languages, and now with a
hypocritical, devilish smile, the pope
says, "Let's put the Bible back into the
hands of the people."
There is not the slightest doubt that
had not Jehovah's witnesses cried out in
warning against the Hierarchy's con-
spiracy to gain world dominion by alli-
ance with the totalitarian rulers, the
Hierarchy would have achieved their
purpose virtually without opposition.
As it is, nearly every news agency on
earth is doing all possible to protect the
Romanists from blame, and hide their
complicity with the murderers of Eu-
rope. Thus it appears that Jehovah's wit-
nesses "have, by the grace of the Lord,"
waged a single-handed combat of .ex-
posure.Without this no nation on earth
