Donahoe's for July.

Donahoe's Magazine continues to
blaze the way to mutual appreciation
and honest friendship between Chris
tian Americans, Catholic and Protes-
tant. Its spirit, infused month after
month into an ever-gr0wing and en-
thusiastic constituency, must make for
better conditions. social, political, and
religious. in this country. Protestant
periodicals may we'll follow the example
set 10y DonahOe's. for with sectarian
prejudice and class bigotries clouding
the national vision, a clear view of ex-
listing political, social. and economic
evils is impossible. The leading ar
ticle of the July number is thoroughly
in line with tho great purpose of the
magazine; it bears the title-surpris-
ing to find in a Catholic magazine
"The Blessings of the A. P. A." The
article itself Is more striking even than
the title.
1t is a fair and fearless exposition of
present religious wrongs and political
abuses, and will be remembered long
after it is read. Another great feature
in the July number is AFTER Death {:
the Catholic Church and Cremation"
by Able Hogan. of Washington Uni
yersity, in which the position of the
Catholic Church regarding the disposl-
ton of the dead is stated fully. for the
first time. We believe, in an American
periodical. There are plenty of light
reading, pretty pictures. good poems,
and some very thoughtful "Talks to
the Typewriter " in this number.
