to answer all prayers, in fact, to perform any favor the supplicant
may ask.

Now, to illustrate what I mean, is this: Suppose you had lost your
pocketbook containing $50.00; the Catholic Church teaches that all
you have to do is to pay a few dimes into the priest's pocket and
then get down and pray to St. Anthony and you will at once learn
where your pocketbook is.

Now, bear in mind that this praying to St. Anthony don't cut any ice
unless you pay something, as every prayer must be backed up by money,
and the more money paid the quicker action you can get on St.
Anthony.

The Catholic Church calls it "St. Anthony's Bread Box," and right by
the side of this box they have a large number of small candles, and
you are supposed to drop the money into this box to pay for the
candles that St. Anthony uses when looking for what is lost, or to
light his path on his road to answer your prayer.

These candles cost the priest from one-half cent to one cent each,
and the "dupe" will drop in from ten cents to ten dollars to have his
prayer answered, so you can see that the Catholic Church is a good
thing for the candle makers.

We will now give you a few idiotic prayers that are offered to St.
Anthony by the followers of blind Catholicism.

"O, Glorious St. Anthony, noble Sunflower of divine
conformity, I salute thee in the name of the Queen of Angels
