The Spirit of the papist so-called “Sisters of Mercy”.

The spirit that animates these nuns, who spread such a halo around them, is revealed only too clearly in a conversation that Rev. Wood, an American Bible [Society] agent, recently had with them, and which is reported in the Christian Messenger of March 27. After the aforementioned Bible agent had been admitted in a very polite manner to the parlor of the local institution of the “Sisters of Mercy” in South Bend, in the state of Indiana, the following conversation took place:
Agent: “My business is that of a Bible agent. I work here for the St. Joseph County Bible Society, providing Bibles to the poor and collecting money for the ‘Bible cause.’”
Sister: “Sir, we do not subscribe to your Bible. We consider it a seduction, a falsehood, put on by apostates, corrupt people and followers of the devil. Yes, it is the devil's book. The circulation of this book plunges thousands of souls into damnation every day. No Bible should be circulated among the common people, but the holy priesthood should explain the Bible to them.”
Agent: “Madame, I did not come in to have a theological quarrel or fight with you over the authenticity of the Bible, but because this institution purports to be an institution of the Sisters of Mercy, I came in to ask for a contribution — thereby to distribute Bibles to the poor.”
Sister: “I tell you, sir, that we do not support your Bible in any way or on any condition. I would much rather give money to destroy it than to spread it.”
Agent: “We Protestants are not selfish in this regard, for we give Bibles to the poor of all denominations; I have already given Bibles to poor Catholic families in this city.”
Sister: “This is an untruth.”
Agent: “I repeat what I said about providing poor Catholic families in this city with the Word of God, and I am ready to confirm it.”
Sister: “I am telling you that it is a falsehood. It is a lie! You have never given a Bible to a Catholic family in your life. They would much rather burn your Bible. I would burn it right now. Yes, I would need it to heat the kettle with.”
Agent: “Madame, the day of burning Bibles is over. France and still other papal countries have burned not only the Bible, but also those who read and followed it; but I tell you, their day is gone.”

| “Bible should be burned” |
Sister: “This Bible should be burned this very day in South Bend with those who dare carry it among the people.”
Agent: “Now madame — in general, you show and reveal more the spirit of a serpent than that of a merciful sister.”
Sister: “We don't want to see you or your Bible in this institution. You came in just to give an insult.”
Agent: “How and in what way did I offend you?”
Sister: “You already gave us an insult by bringing this Bible into such a sacred institution as this, since we do not wish to see you or the book here.”
Agent: “As for myself, I can escape quite easily; but I feel you should have this Bible.”
Sister: “I tell you, I would make my tea with your Bible.”
Agent: “Your will is strong, but your arm is too weak. Farewell Madame.”
Sister: “I do not return a greeting to such a Bible agent.”
Agent: “Your non-greeting has no meaning.”
We only note the following in this regard:
All biblical Christians who have daughters and send them to the “Sisters of Mercy” so that they can instruct them in female work, should consider what they are doing. They are sending their children into a real den of soul murderers. Would that such parents would not be so foolish and so blind as to be deceived by the hypocritical nature and assurances of those nuns that their instruction has nothing to do with religion. All papal orders, including that of the “Sisters of Mercy,” have no other ultimate purpose than to eradicate the Bible religion and to spread the Papacy. Whoever hands over his dear children to such anti-Christian institutions, does nothing other than putting his own flesh and blood into the hellish net of Antichrist himself. Woe to him who does this in spite of all the warnings he has received! From him God will one day demand the blood of his children in His wrath. W. [C. F. W. Walther]
“the holy priesthood should explain the Bible to them.”
