Following that comes a picture of Rome, tyrannical Rome, trampling upon everything in her path. Rome passed away, and her unworthy successor, Spain, ap- peared. Spain came to Peru as well as to North America, and both Inca and Aztec passed away, as the result of Spanish rule. Spain offered the sword or the cross, and those who escaped death by the sword came to look upon the cross as a symbol of torture; for the Spaniards tortured men till they revealed to them where their wealth was hidden.

Neither the missionaries nor the priests are to blame. Theirs is not the fault.
