MEXICO’S RELIGIOUS WAR. FEW HARVARD CHILDREN. HERE'S A .PROPHETESS. ~ THE SATANIC ORDER. ean BY ARTHUR BRISBANE (Copyright, 1926, by Star Co.) ‘Phe Catholic church does not in. tetid to yield to the new constitution of Mexico without a struggle. The Associated Press publishes a pastoral letter by Bishop Herrera Y Pina, of Monterey, instructing Catholic pries' and worshippers “to offer passive resistance to the governments effort! yy to enforce ‘the sections of the consti- tution relating to, eligion.” Priests are ordered “not to fulfill the constitutional requirements and to abandon their churches rather than obey other than ecclesiastical authority.” Worshippers are told “to organize a peaceful movement of opposition.” Mexico is in the throes of a real and serious religious war, onc that may well cause anxiety. If you believe in modern prophecy study the skies at Buster. Johanna Leinhart, Berlin prophetess, says God will become active in men's affairs ut Easter, Germany will come out ahead of all nations, and as a sign there will be sunshine in German: from Palm Sunday to Friday, wit! fierce storms, rain, hail, snow in all ‘other countries: When the world recovers from this ‘surprise Johanna will reveal all the secrets of life, death and the resur- ection. ee ee .
