La Voz de la Iglesia ("The Voice of the Church"), the organ of the
Bishop of Buenos Ayres, has lately published some of the strongest

Protestantism to invade the flowery camp of the Church, Holy,
Catholic, Apostolic and Roman."

of the leading church presses, are not calculated to help forward a
losing cause. The tract referred to is entitled, "Letter of Jesus
about the Drops of Blood which He shed whilst He went to Calvary."
