Archbishop ireland has Travelled over
dangerous ground where any misstep
might have resulted in instant disaster.
He has gone along the brink Of the prec-
ipice that lies just beyond the border
line of Catholic truth and looked into
its yawning depths. Others who would
explore in those same perilous paths
would do we'll to take him as their
guide. Priests must often explain how
far the church can go in her efforts to
meet the claims Of the world and the
powers of the world. They must fire.
quently enter the arena to combat the
ignorance and subdue the rage of ex-
travagant Catholics. claiming everything
for the church, on the one hand; and ex-
travagant Catholics, claiming ev-
erything for the state on the other. In
doing this they must have clear knowl-
edge of the limitations of Catholic con-
cession and the memorable demands Of
Catholic dogma. This they will learn,

And now it is given out that England
intends to take Cuba for her own and
that it was this intention that caused her
to accede so readily on an arbitration
treaty by which she could tie the hands
of the United States should any dispute
arise over the matter In case the Mon
roe doctrine was appealed to in support
of the claims of this country the arbi-
traitors would readily decide that that
doctrine was not recognized as an inter-
national question and the United States
would be compelled to submit under the
terms Of the treaty or else declare war
and in such a case we would be better
off if no treaty had ever existed.

INDULGENCE.
Father Gibbons of st. Paul Discusses
the Subject at the Cathedral.

Father Gibbons of St. Paul Discusses
the Subject at the Cathedral.
Father Thomas J. Gibbons, pastor Of
st. Mary's church OF st. Paul, lecturea
recently at the cathedral in Duluth, on
the subject CT Indulgence There was
a large attendance. and special music
was provided for the occasion. Father
Gibbons is man of impressive bearing
and pleasing address. The lecture was
an expression of the Catholic teaching
of Indulgence. The least understood
and most falsely abused doctrine Of the
church were the teachings of the church
in regard to indulgence. Writers had
falsely interpreted them. What the
church desires is fairness, and not favor.
That her doctrine shall he heard and I'M
derstood as taught by her children. The
apostle Paul when he absolved the in
cestuous Corinthian did what the church
does at the present day when she RENTS
the temporal punishment due to sin. Her
mediator and priest was Christ ana what
ever she did Wes in his name, and by his
divine authority. Indulgence meant to
deal kindly with or treat with ease: It
was much the same as amnesty and par
don, but in the language Of the church it.
denotes the remission of the temporal
punishment due to sin. In every sin
there were two things, guilt and punish
ment; guilt is the injury done God, and
punishment is the chastisement the AL
mighty has a right to inflict, even
though the sin be forgiven. Punishment
was Of two kinds, temporal and eternal.
If the offense be grieyous, the punish
ment was eternal and if yenal it was OF
temporary character and will last for
time, and must be undergone either here
On earth by penitential or satisfactory
works or hereafter by the pains of pur-
gatory. Indulgence RENTED neither
the guilt nor the eternal punishment due
to sin. These were RENTED by the sac
rament Of baptism and penance. The
church has the right to grant indulgence
1t is necessary to do 1t. and it is a Sow
ereign power. Indulgences are applied
from the spiritual treasury of the church
which is formed OF supcrabundance Of
satisfactions of Christ and. saints. The
church can unlock her treasury and ap-
ply to us the satisfactory work Of others.
We pay the debt Of temporal punishment
not by the coin Of our own personal la
bors,' but with money given by others
Indulgence was not merely valid in the
ecclesiastical, court, but a!so in the court
Of heaven.

her position may be correct, and she is
entitled to any comfort she may extract
from it, but that she will ever again
have anything to do with the affairs of
Hawaii is very doubtful indeed. Her
only comfort now may be in an occas-

1t is said that Tim Healy intends visi-

say that his object is to induce His Ho-
