Fach has his own place to make in his
profession. Suppose one should say,
am gong to get married and have a
good time. I am going to do what
can, but will enjoy all the good things
OF life as go along, and modelling his
career on this basis he begins his news
paper work. His family and social life
take up great part Of his time and his
energies. The other man decides to
have no mistress but his profession. 1t
is his only aim, his only thought Which
in the end will do the best work?
Then, again, speaking Of Catholic
priests" the cardinal continued, ST won
der II you realize how long it takes
them to prepare themselves for their
work. 1t requires twelve years Of hard
study for the best of masters before
they are deemed worthy to have charge
OF a church. The boy who feels that
he is called by the Lord to the priest
mood, having already received a large
part Of his common school education,
has, at the age of fifteen, to go into
a college and to remain there for six
years, studying the ordinary branches,
the sciences, ETC., in connection with his
religious work, and at the end Of this
time ne has six years more of theologi-
cal training. He is associated with the
pest minds of the church, and these
t"elVe years are, as rule, those of the
hardest kind of study and work."
THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
The conservation here turned to the Sun
day question, and 1 asked the cardinal as
TO whether he was in favor of the European
or Puritan Sunday. He replied that he was
IN favor of Sunday observance, but that his
IDEAL Sundayfwas not the Puritan, nor was it
the european Sunday. Said he: II like the
on Sunday and I think it is blessing for
baltimore and for all of our cities that this
Is compulsory. I think all kinds of work
shall never have the European Sunday in
America. Sunday should be day of religious
rest, but 1t also should be a day of innocent
recreation. l do not think 1t wrong for a man
to go out riding with his family on Sunday
afternoon, nor to take walk in theTfields
l think that it should be day of cheerful-
ness without dissipation, or religious enjoy
ment without sadness or melancholy. The
Puritan Sunday goes too far, and the ideal
Sunday is the golden mean
Cardinal Gibbons has the broadcast ideas as
regards capital and labor. He believes in la
Dor organizations, but frowns upon the walk
ing delegate and says that whoever tries to
snow discord between the capitalist and the
many times had great influence with the la
boring classes in tine of strikes, and has
done much to harmonize the differences which
exist between them and their EMPLOYERS He
is an enthusiastic American, thoroughly be-
lieving in the separation in this country of
church and state, and an enthusiastic patriot
upon all occasions.
TALMAGE ON CHRISTIANITY.
1t was at the close of one of Dr. Talmage's
lectures on his trip around the world that L
chatted with him on religious matters, putting
much the same questions those I asked of
Cardinal Gibbons to a universal religion.
Said 1: AFTER all your travels, doctor, do
you still believe that the people Of the world
will some day be altogether Christian
Yes replied DR.. Talmage. II have no
doubt whatever of that. l believe it because

ton for this world is the Christian religion.
Its acceptance by all people and the carrying
out of its principles would form the crown
ing beauty Of this wonderful universe. God
built this world. He cannot do otherwise than
see 1t completed in its perfection and beauty.
Sin cannot prevail The devil cannot tri-

ard the good. 1t is better every day. Its
progress in charity, philanthropy and good
ness is wonderful. We go back 200 years to
