Schneider writes a letter to the editor in which he calls McMaster's attention to an article in the "Christian Nation", Aug. 25 1886 which asserts that Catholics cannot boast that they have an unbroken line of succession from St. Peter, since there were long intervals when there was no Pope. Schneider has neither time nor patience to consider the article at length, but cannot see how any sane and sincere person can take refuge in such sophistry. The Catholic Church alone has the "genuine stamp upon it"; it is the one Christ founded. :: I-2-j A.L.S.Mss ½ pp. 12mo.
