Spain which would be better termed a disloyal government will never be a good government for Protestants and Jews if it pursue a policy of murdering Catholics” Reverend Oren Orahood pastor of the Central Christian church of this city addressed a congregation assembled in St Mark’s Episcopal cathedral for union service along the same lines He arraigned the German government for"' its “ruthless
