PRE-ADAMITE MAN.
Paper Read by Member of Glass B.

Popular tradition, based upon legends that
have grown more or less misleading, by reason
of having been often retOld and on account of
errors in translation, has given the widespread
belief that Adam was the first man. No doubt
there was Adam and that he was one of those
me-stOnes who, like Noah, Jacob and David,
marked different epOchs in the worlds history.
With ADAM human history really began and to
this source can be traced the lineage of the race
of people that today rule the world but that the
human race began so recently or that Adam
was the first man, is disprOven by the develop
ments of untiring scientific research, and by the
broad Interpretation of the scriptures. Adams
advent is recorded as having occurred about six
thousand years ago, not very long while, geo.
logically speaking, certainly not sufficiently long
to have brought about the changes of nature
that now hold within their grasp the evidence
of prehistoric man. Underneath successive
strata of Nile mud, that have required the lapse
of thirty thousand years to deposit, have been
found pottery and abundant traces of a forgot
ten civilization. In fossil mud,' buried deep
beneath the changes and deposits of countless
aons of time are found the footprints of human
beings. Buried with the remains of the man.
moth, whose home was in the tropics of the po-
lar circles before that great wave of ice, known
as the glacial period broke over these regions,
have been found implements of man. Beneath
a great boulder that glaciers had deposited in
North Carolina was recently found a stone AK,
proving that man inhabited the earth previous
to the glacial period, and that period is placed
by so great an authority as Humboldt at from
5000 to 100000 years ago, we may truly be-
lieve that the human race is very old indeed.
Beneath the shifting sands of the DESERT be-
|
the hills through thousands of ages, beneath
the bosom of placid lakes or the ceaseless swell
of old ocean, lie hidden and buried all that re-
mains of a race of people, whose history has
never been written, whose story will never be
told.

Catholic services were held in the prison chapel

Catholic services we're held in the prison chapel
last Sunday. The lesson for the day. the tenth
Sunday after PentecOst, was taken from the
epistle of st. Paul to the Corinthians. Father
COrcoran took his text from the parable of the
pharisee and the publican and preached SER
mon on the necessity and value of prayer. Man
is naturally dependent creature relying on
higher power to whom he must look for prOtec-
ton in this life and salvation in the next. Reli-
giOn is Unborn in human nature, and is spirit
ual obligation of man to his Creator. In all ages
among all nations and in all stages of civilization
worship of an infinite power, in some form or
another, has marked the existence of mankind.
In his primitive state he the forces of nature
at work all around him directed by an unseen
hand and eXerting power that eXctes his won
der and impels him to a blind alteration of the
invisible being whom he feels guides all destiny
by his will. If the true God is unknown false
ones will be made and idolatry substituted for
religion. We, who are blessed by the wisdom of
divine Savior, have the light of heaven to guide
us in our religious duties and teach the rever-
ence due our Maker The life of Christ empha-
sizes the need of prayer to attain not only spirit
ual grace, but as means of acquiring happiness
and cOntentment of mind. The true spirit of
prayer is sincerity; imporing Gods mercy and
forgiveness with cOntrlClOn and remOrSe, and an
honest resolution to forsake the ways of sin.
Many people seem to think that prayer is a favor
to God instead of duty. In prosperity they
think lightly of it, regarding it as convenient
method of satisfying religious scruples and quiet
ing conscience. But when the dark hours of de-
feat, failure and trouble arrives to overwhelm
them, their faith in prayer returns with renewed
vigOr to show them the hollow sham of pride and
selfishness. In communion with our God we
must Danish from our minds every trace of pas
sion, greed, envy and sensual thoughts, for when
we supplicate His mercy the soul must rise, as it
were from the desires of the body and enter the
realms of spirituality. Prayer is the remedy for
discouragement,d doubt, despair and defeat, bring
ing hope, joy and love as the divine panaceas for
earthly troubles. Let US, then, in our daily life
remember the duty we owe our God Father and
final Judge, and at night when we kneel down to

Newspapers in the Campaign.

In the present campaign, the newspapers will
be the greatest of educators, in teaching the
voters of the land the proper way to view the
political questions of the day. The Republic, of
st. Louis, is without doubt the most able in
structor published on the Democratic side, as it
explains in almost every issue, by editorial or
learned article why the mass of the people should
vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate.
In addition, it prints all the news of the doings
of both parties and all the speeches of states
men. The Republic is only Sc year, $1.5O for 8

EDITOR MIRROR:-It gives me great pleasure
to compliment you on running an up-to-date
moral paper and not mud thrOwer, but, while
cOngratulating you on your laudable efforts to
show perverted humanity the error of their way,
must complain of gross insult that has been
placed upon me through the fundamentally of
your paper. refer to the article in your issue
of the 3Oth ut, in which you refer to me as
"crack laster.' Now most of your readers (par-
ticularly myself thought you meant first-class
laster, but you can imagine my feelings when
neighbOr of mine made tine remark 'that if
cracked laster could defeat an expert, how easily
a sound one could do it, l demand public
apology or-hash. G. A.
We are glad to learn that the gentleman is not
mentally cracked. but it does seem as if he has
unduly measured his power for assmilating the
hybrid compound that he values equally with
public apology. In the article mentioned his
ability shoemaker was not impugned. but
rather lauded. And the uncharitable remarks
of his neighbors are no doubt prompted by
feeling of jealousy at the exceptional talent he
displays in manufacturing genuine kangaroos.'
