the shame of the local rule. Rich men

THERE is considerable strength in the
claim of Archbishop Logue that Italy
cannot afford to have the Pope leave

that his retiracy would have very de-
pressing financial effect upon Rome.

THE Epoch says, and says it well, that
"there are some men who make a name
for themselves in public life less because
of any conspicuous talent for affairs than
because of certain affluence of human
sympathy, and capacity for making
themselves understood by people of all
grades and intelligence" Which sug-
gests the thought that this breadth of
human sympathy, this ability of some
men to adapt themselves easily to the
mental attitudes and intellectual level of
others, is not altogether natural gift. If
we will but make the effort we will dis
cover that it is possible, and becomes the
less difficult the more we strive to Guilt
vate the sympathetic quality, to SO school
and study ourselves that we can enter
into a sort of underlined communion with
whom we please, and thus learn, to GER
tain extent, what are the motives, the
temptations, the weakness and the strength
of others. Men are less considerable of
each other because of the tendency to
draw from one another, to stife the sympa-
thetic disposition, and to regard each
other with distrust. 1t may be set down
as a truism that he who draws closest to
his fellows is he who has for them the
largest measure of sympathy. Sympathy
begets its kind and hence is one of the
secrets of power; it gives to some men
what, for want of better term, we define
as personal magnetism" Feeling always
brings its response; it is manifest in the
case of the orator whose eloquence has
that for its spring; it is the key of the
musician; it is the creator of the poets
charm, and is the open sesame to human
hearts. But what we aimed to impress
upon the mind is that the sympathetic
quality is cultivatable, and this being so,
as our contemporary says, it enables us to
understand men, to address and move
them, to prevail over them as we could not
do by cold reason, or by menace. In
short, the man makes himself best under
stood among and gets nearest to the in
telligence and the hearts of his fellows
who trains his own sympathies upon
broad gauge.

seems to me, for churches of our deuomina-

think we might well initiate, and with
great advantage to our denomination, our
Catholic brethren, and keep our church
doors open at all reasonable hours. Neither
heat of summer, nor cold of winter, should
be an excuse for disseminating a good
work. Certainly, if the work of saving
souls Is as urgent as our preachers en-
deavor to make out, it is hard to see how
their churches can remain closed from
July to September, and their congrega-
tions, at least such part as remain the CITY
and the neighborhood, can be left wholly
uncared for. The liquor stores are open,
or, at least, entrance is obtainable. Ice
cream and candy shops, cigar and other
stores of like character do thriving bus
inees on Sunday, and would not think of
closing on the plea of so many people be-
ing out of town or on account of the

they understand it. On the other side are
the upholders and advocates of a national

Stirring I'm Strife.

One morning, says a traveller in
Java, was standing beside small
lake fed by one of the rills from the
mountains. Stretching its limbs over
this pond was gigantic teak tree, and
in its thick, shining, evergreen leaves
lay huge boa, in an easy coil, evil
IDENTITY taking his morning nap.
Above him was a powerful ape of the
baboon species "a leering race of
scamps, always bent on mischief.
The ape, from his position, saw a
crocodile rise to the surface of the
water, just beneath the teak limb
where lay the serpent. Quick as
thought he jumped plump upon the
boa, which fell with a splash into the
water Just in front of the crocodile.
The ape saved himself by clinging to
the limb of the tree but d battle royal
immediately began IN the water.
The crocodile had fixed its jaws in
the snake, which made the water boil
by its furious contorticns. Winding
its folds round and round the body Of
his antagonist, the boa disabled its
hinder legs, and by his contractions
made the scales and bones of his
enemy crack.
Over and over the combatants roll
ed, neither being able to obtain a de-
cided advantage.
All this time the cause of the mis-
chief was in high glee. He leaped up
and down the branches, came several
times close to the scene of the fight,
uttered yell, and again frisked away.
Perhaps ten minutes passed, and the
noise of the conflict began to fade into
silence The folds of the serpent were
relaxing, and though they trembled
along the back, the head hung life
less in the water. The crocodile, also,
was dead
The monkey now perched on low
limb just above the dead bodies of his
two foes, and amused himself by max
ing faces at them. This seemed to be
adding insult to injury ] picked up
stone from the edge of the lake and
hurled it at the ape. 1t struck him on
the head and down he fell, upon the
crocodile's body. He was up again in
a moment, and sprang into the teak
tree, where he disappeared among the
thick branches. s.-Youths' Companion.
