Catholic priests have ever been the
champions of virtue and the Church was
always a barrier 20 tyranny and social
disorder. Virtue. virtue, is their constant
theme. They nculcate ii TO the powerful
a well as the weak TO the rich as well as
the poor. They protect the innocent ana
save the oppressed from violence. They
insist on the observance of law ana the
keeping of the Commandments. Children
learn from their lips the obligation of
obedience. and parents are reminded OF
what they owe TO their offspring. Hus-
bands and wives arc taught fidelity and
the necessity of mutual forebearance.
Commission for the afflicted, mercy to-
ward the errlng, almsgiving TO the needy
and charity for ALL are among their fire.
ouent lessons. When selishness corrupts
the heart of men they hear echoing and
re-echoing the solemn duty OF bearing
each others burden. These arc the doc
trines taught by the priesthood. There IS
not q virtue necessary for the individual
or society that has not its techer. It's
champion. and its model within the ranks
Of the clergy. They are ever ready with
arguments to show the beauty Of virtue
and the horrid deformity Of vice With a
zeal all their own and q power all divine.
they ulumine the intellect. fill the soul
with grace. purify the heart and rescue
the sin-laden from eternal misery.

When Aleriano Weyler N!colau en-

utation up to that time had been a
local one. that of devoted servant 10
the crown. In the inst three weeks OF
his rule he began to show the stun that
was in him. His initial act or uhusual
warfare" was the shooting OF the prls-
oners in Moro Castle. They were ex-
pensive to keep and troublesome to
have on hand. That cruel, thin-lipped
mouth ordered them out to be shot IN
chains.
The eouivocal forehead got him into
the next trouble. He promised our
Consul that he would release all Amer

system of abuse that in a short time'
ridded Moro Castle quietly OF the

though the equivocal forehead thought
il no harm to violate an open promise
in this way.
EYES THAT HATE WOMEN.
The ewes were responsible for the
shameful treatment of women and chill
dren now taking place daily as they are
captured and brought to Havana. Ihose
cunning eyes see that it serves as an
awful warning TO people, and they note
with pleasure the dragging OF women
and children through the streets.
1t is most unusual thing to see such
a combination of weak features In the
face of one man. and still more unusual
10 see them so we'll adapted to one an
other. and so combined" arranged IS
almost the word-that the owner Is a
handsome man. Marvelously- strange
that the face should so resembele the
paintings of the Christ-so like in out

taken separately.

The nose is a peculiar feature or any

is all right SO long as it's big. ANY
big nose is better than a small one, Is
the verdict of face-readers. A big nose
is sure to do something. A httiS nose
is quite sure to do nothing.
In a determined face, like the face OF
Wevler a moderate-siZed nose is char
acterless. 1t is without push of force.

will have his own way of doing things.

The worst trait in this face. which is

conspicuOusly bad in any, is the eye.
Butcher" Weylers eyes are small,
rather deep set and untinching. They
are ewes that can contain a deal OF
cunning. They can half close and not
SHOW themselves. They are hypocriti-

Current Religious Thought.
IAN MACLAREN's CREED.

IAN MACLAREN'S CREED.
The Church Union.
We want a definite idea of what a
creed is. To many it has been sort OF
theological puzzle or ecceleslastlcal
conundrum. The settling Oh knotty
subtleties-that is creed. Weil' II
is surely no such thing. 1t is very far
away from any such thing. But creed
is the great verities by which we mean
to live. and for which we are willing
to die. In this aspect of the case Ian
Maclaren's will pass muster with the
best. 1t falls into rank with Paufs
creed in the second chapter OF the
Epistle to Titus: But speak then the
things which become sound doctrine
that the aged men be sober, grave,
temperate. sound in faith, in charity,
in patience. The aged women likewise,
that they be in behavior as Decometh
holiness, not false accusers, &C Inc
Fatherhood of God, the words OF Jesus,
the clean heart, the service of love, the
unworldly life, the beatitudes, TO trust
God and follow Christ, to forgive my
enemies, and to seek after tho right
eousness of God-why, how good IS all
this! This is what makes a man q
Christian. There is no puzzle or con-
undrum about this. This is a faith, a
creed, indeed, by which one would live
and for which we would die.
If a creed is something that Christians
must fight about, then this will not do
at all; but if it is something that they
are agreed about, then 1t will do ad-
mirably.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE.

The Examiner.
The service which Christ requires must
be whole-heartcd. To become Christian
one must give himself-body. soul, mind
and strength. for life and for death-to
Christ. Christian service does not consist
in any single act. but I'm a continued sur
render, day by day. a living dedication OF
all that We are and an that we possess
to Him who has called us into His king
dom. When the heart Is renewed by the
Holy Spirit. the soul is not only born into
the kingdom of God but the kingdom Of
God is set up I'm the soul. To serve Christ
is 10 have Christ entroncd I'm the mind
and heart Ii is 10 have the desires and
habits and passions to which all the best
energies We're sacrificed brought into sub
lection 20 the new Master and Lord. They
are dethroned and Christ IS enthroned.
That means on His part ruling. and on our
part willing and loving obedience.

TOO FEEBLE TO BE FRUITFUL.
The Interior.
There is no doubt that all our churches
need "A spiritual queckening, but it is best
TO tell the whole truth as well as part OF
#. The church is not moribund, not de-
caying. Whenever the process of division
has not exhausted its vitality it grows.
4 large part of our population is contained
in towns and villages of from 1000 to- 5000
inhabitants. and these are with scarcely
an exception over-churched. These fee
BILE organizations. with difficulty kept
alive and spasmodically supplied, are the
cause of unfruitfulness. Even when under
pastoral care. their preachers are de-
pressed. burdened. discouraged. Nine
tenths Of the sermons delivered in any OF
their pulpits might be delivered i'm the rest
without change Of a sentence. What the
churches lack is not spirituality, but
good hard sense" to abandon that COM
petition which the business world gave
up long since. combining to live instead of
dividing to die We learned years ago that
one cannot grow an apple tree and a hum

change the course of nature. 1t is not i'm

cation to persuade one that 1t is mere
she'll. The Protestant ministers are
put to posing as a kind of religious III
terateurs, to performing mental gym
nastics in the pulpit, to preaching SEN
sational and political sermons, OF 10
giving ice cream festivals and bicycle
weddings in order to keep bread IN the
family cupboard. People desire TO
know what to believe, not what 10 as
believe; and Professionalism answers the
demand by jangling discord OF mega
tions. Consequently Professionalism is
dying loathsome death, and there are
millions of people in this country VINO,
having lost confidence in the system, OF
belief their fathers held, are without
faith in the world. 1t is high
time for the unfortunately named Epis-
copal Church to awake from the sleep
it has so long enjoyed in its velvet cush-
toned pew and arise to its vocation.
= Unless some of our clergy
catch the Pentecostal fire and make
some great venture of faith in an ell
fort to lift the souls of the people up TO
God. we may we'll despair OF seeing this
Church the American Church, even IN
name. The Catholic religion must be
put into practice and realized in lives.
The Blessed Sacrament must have us
proper place in devotion. The prlml-
tive practice of reserving the Sacrament
for alteration must be revived. The re
ligious life, freed from the trammels Oh
mere imitation and pettiness, must Do
restored. A white heat OF splrltuai
flame must be kindled in the hearts OF
the clergy first, and then the rest VIII
take care of itself. Gods work will be
done.
