Catholic SaloOnkeepers Requested
TO Quit the Business.
The committee upon resolutions was
now ready to be heard. and Rev. Father
Landing, of PittSburg. chairman of the
committee, read the report.
The c. T.. \. i. of America, assem-
bled in its twenty-fourth general con-
vention, sees in the signs of the times
much evidence that the temperance
cause will have many trIumphs to re-
cord in the early future.
1t sees in the recent action of Bishop
WatterSon, which has been so nobly
sustained by Mgr. Satolll, long step in
the right direction.
1t believes that this action will crys-
talllZe the influence of the church
against the saloon and will stamp this
latter indeiIbly as the irreconcilable
enemy of the church.
The decision OF the papal delegate
cannot fail to give additional authority
to the Recommendation of the council of
Baltimore that all Catholic saioonkeep-
ers abandon. as soon as they can, the
dangerous traffic, and embark in some
becoming way uf making a living.
The decision will serve as renewal
OF the invitation which our Holy Father
Leo Xii. has addressed to all the
priests of the land to enter into the
work of temperance reform. Let all the
pastors therefore DO their best to drive
The plague OF intemperance from the
fold of Christ by assiduous proclaiming
and eXhortation and by shining before
all as models of abstinence, that so

threatens both church and state may by
their strenuous endeavors be agerted.
These words Of the holy father, now
emphasized by the decision of his repre-
sentative, will enlist the syInpathieS of
the whole body or the clergymea in the
cause Of total abstinence. And with the
clergy strongly committed against the
saloon the day of Yindication for the
church III America Will be at hand.
The scandal Of preponderating num-
Der of Catholics in The saloon business
is disgrace too long endured. What.
ever the cause of the fact, a new day is
at hand.
The convention rejolces that Catho-
lies are now aroused to the great evil
and the great disgrace OF intemperance

lies. Lei the eXaggeratiun he a spur TO
make all Catholics strive all the more
ardently TO realize the counsels of
Christian perfection whose corner stone
is Modification, and the best mortifi-
cation for these times is total abstl-
nence.
We urge all Catholics to Danish LIQUOR
from their homes, from their social and
political clubs. Let Catholic banouets
be made remarkable by the absence of
all alcoholic drinks. Let saloonkeepers
be excluded from membership in all
societies of Catholics. Give no support
to Catholic papers which allow li0uor
dealers to advertise in their columns.
catholic papers must be an auxiliary of
the pulpit. They must not encourage
what would silence the pulpit. On the
other hand, let Catholics give their
hearty support to all temperance papers
which are honestly devoted to the cause
or temperance. Let every faithful son
or the Holy Mother Church do his ut
most to make the name OF Catholic

The convention desires most ardently
