sister Estella's Heroism.

The heroism of the Sisters of Charity
was one of the most glorious features
of our civil war, but their heroic acts
of charity are confined to no place nor
time. A touching episode OF the Ar
gentine revolution is told by the Buenos
Ayres CORES pendent of an Italian pa
per, the "Caffaro." A cavalry man was
passing before an hospital in Buenos
Ayres when ball knocked him, NOR

A Convert on the Bible.

The following contribution was writ
ten for the Catholic Record by a young
man named Z. j. Sloan who lately en-
braced the Catholic faith: ''Where do
you take the Bible from?" is the first
question a Protestant has to answer.
1t must be answered, and yet the ans
wer to 1t is not in the Bible. The Bible.
and the Bible. only, is the principle
Professionals say they hold. The Bible
without the Church, and nothing but
the Bible. Now, how will this hold?
For where in the Bible do YOU read Of
any Bible? Where IN the Bible do You
find any list of books. The list Of books
is outside the Bible; where did it come
from How do you learn what is the
canon of scripture? How do you know
that the New Testament or any part of
it was written by ''inspiratiOn?" If you
believe it was you believe more than is
in the Bible; for the Bible does not say
SO at all. Who says the Bible is 1.-The
word of God?' The Bible does not say
so. What books does the Bible say
were written under the influence of in
spiratiOn? What writer in the New
Testament claims to have so written?
The writers do not claim inspiration for
themselves nor do they for one another,
Or where does the Bible say that any,
even of the Apostles. had any authority
given to them to write at all, much less
to write by inspiration! But st. Mark
and st. Luke were not even Apostles.
What authority does St. Luke claim for
writing? Where do we read in the
Bible that Christ appointed any one TO
write at all? How do you know that the
Bible is translated right? But if you
go to the Greek what does the Greek
mean in hundred places? Does our
faith turn on meanings Of words to be
ground out of dictionaries, etc? Some
scholars, who think themselves verv
clever. are grinding at texts and words
to find out about the future and about
the nature of the sou1;. but what Is to
come of all this text grinding? Besides,
how. for instance. do you know that ST..
Paul's Epistles have been kept all these
years in the same state in which they
issued from his pen? And which are
they? Who has the list of them? Which
Epist!es are genuine? Where IS the
Protestant's Bible authority for any
Bible2 Now. all these questions come
under the one question, Where do you
get the Bible from?' The fact is, the
Bible is not a Protestant book at all.
No Protestant or sectarian idea was
ever in it. No line of the Bible was
ever written by PrOtestants or to Pro-
testants. The Bible was never intended
to be handled and dealt with in the
Protestant fashion and method. Their.
4 way of treating the Bible is unhistorical
4 and Unreasonable. But behind all that
stands this propositions: The Gospel is
notsa book revelation but tradition
Yet, even supposing the Gospel were q
book revelation, then the Bible could
]. not have been q Protestant book
