IT IS a great damage to any man
whose vocation is to make him a finder
and promulger of truth to subject his
mlnd, during three of the most eager
ana most plastic years of his lite, to
process Of being filed up, without orig
inant effort ol his own, with little effort
OF any sort, indeed, except the barren
effort OF Temem oerlug. A human in
tellect that, for three choice youthful
years, has been converted into u mas
slve dumping" ground to receive the
thoughts, The analyses, the systems, the
conclusions of other lntellects is in
poor state of preparation for the siren
uou- business OF the preacher and the
pastor. The natural tnlng for man to

ministry Of the gospel is to serve his
hearers as be has himself been served.

cation among the young. While very
many of them still tail 10 come squarely
up to the Catholic position on this
grave national question, for such and
no less it is, they are drawing nearer to
that position every day. They no
longer avoid it. or look upon it with
horror, as was the custom some years
ago. They accept it as justified in prin
clple, however awkward it may be to
carry the principle into universal action
among our people. They begin to ask
them. elves soberly and nationally why,
if compulsory secular educauon be
deemed necessary for the present and
future weli-being of the Republic,
should it not be accemp MED by re-
ligious education and training, since
it is commonly agreed that one of the
main objects of education is to train up
good and useful citizens, willing and
competent to perform the duties of
citizenship ana be help instead of
