Campion, John, Kenosha, Wisconsin, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1886 December 7

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-g

Scope and Contents

Campion encloses $1.00 for a four month's subscription. He adds a letter, signed "J.C.", evidently intended as a letter to the editor. Campion requests that McMaster honor Christmas day by not publishing a paper on December 25, but on Christmas Eve instead. He thinks liberal Catholics may object, but they are non-entities, and are "worse than the Communists who flung fire about Paris". Everything possible must be done in order to destroy the many invasions of Paganism into our Christian civilization. McMaster should not say that bringing out the paper on December 25 is unavoidable, for he used the word before when he said the Catholic workmen went to the "unavoidable work" on All Saint's Day, and brought upon himself the protests of 68,000 workmen. Campion feels sure the leading Catholic newspaper realizes that for Catholics there must be no "unavoidable", and that Catholics must not be slaves to the current "maelstrom". :: I-2-g A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
