A Missionary Governor.

The career of the new governor o.
Alaska, John Green Brady, is q fine
example of the limitless posi- bilities ia
American life for business, political
and intellectual success. He started
lie in New York City as veritable
street Arab; but fortune came his way.
and, in the person of some humane So
ciety, rescued him from his demoraliz
ing environment, aud, with number
of other boys, sent him out to Indiana
to find a home.
When the train arrived at Upton, a
certain Judge John Green went to the
car and asked for the "ugliest, ragged
est and most friendless DO in the
crowd. "Jack" was produced in an
swer to this call. The good judge
seemed to have got even more than he
cipated, for it is said that at first
he refused to take the lad. But he fin
ally agreed to try him, and when the
boy was sent to school, he did so well
that he was afterwards sent to Harvard,
and then went to England and took q
course 10 theology.
On his return to America he went as
q missionary to Alaska, where, besides
his regular evangelistic work. he made
a careful study OF the resources and
natural history of the territory, so that
his knOwled ge was used more than once
by the government for statistical and
scientific purposes, until, in the Har-
risou admin strstion, he was appoint ed
territorial commissioner. His last
appointment is considered from every
point of view, a good one.

Study of the Scriptures.

The reason is that facu ty or power OF
the mind by which we distinguish be-
tween the false and the true. or where
by we draw just conclusions. DR..
Watts called it one of the two great
lights of God. revelation being the
other. Oce use of reason is to avoid
the acceptance of contradictory state
ments, and in the case of revelation
through scripture, to exclude self-con-
Trajectory interpretations. But it is
not to set itself ups judge of those
truths expressed therein which are as
serted by God himself. 1t is altogether
triues TO our understanding which it
cannot comprehend fully, as
duties to our practice which
we can not see the reason for
so that, while it is the common func-
tion of reason to exclude from credence
any s'a'ement contradictory to an
other, it will also lead to the conclu-
sion that, if $. seemingly irreconcilable
statements were fully understood, they
would not be contradictory. In other
words. our reason will teach us not to
take Scripture in a sense which CO.
traoicts truth. DIR. Alexander says
that If revelation can in no way be
reconciled to right reason, it will be
without foundation, and ought to be
rejected; but sound reason would lead
US to expect mysterious doctrines In
a revelation. Tn n reason is to decide
If it be not more reasonable to believe
what God says to be absolutely true
than to trust our unaided conceptions
of what we think ought to be true or
false. Reason is TO lead US to reason
able conclusions. Rev. 7. d. Fyffe.

PLEOGING THE CHILDREN.
Priests VIII Ask Them to Sign at Thor
Confirmation.

Priests VIII Ask Them to Sign ut Thor
Confirmation.
The Rev. Alexander p. Doyle Of the
Paulist fathers general secretary of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union Of
America, has returned from the twenty
seventh annual convention of the organ
ization, recently held at Scranton, Pa.
Father Doyle says that the convention
was the most successful in the history
of the union and was in many ways one
of the most important. The entire
body now numbers 1924 members, of
whom 3.459. belonging to rs societies,
were added in the last year. For the
last four years the total increase in
membership has been 81, 841.
'The convention did more real work
for temperance than any previous one
ever did, said Father Doyle, because
it determined to make special efforts to
gather children into the organization,
thus establishing their future and the fu-
ture of the movement. This work will
be accomplished by the formation of
juvenile societies. All the bishops of
America now pledge the girls and boys
at confirmation to abstain from intox-
icating liquors until they are 81 years
old When the bishop leaves the parish
after confirmation, the responsibility
rests with the parish priests to see that
these boys and girls are organized into
total abstinence societies and the senti-
ment is encouraged and strengthened in
them.
"This work will be carried ON
throughout the country, and the prac-
teal result will be that by Christmas
thousands of children who have taken
the total abstinence pledge will have
been enrolled in q great juvenile tenn
perance army"
Archbishop Corrigan for long time
has been in the habit of administering
the pledge to children at confirmation,
and he has asked the pastors to prepare
the children to accept the pledge Of to-
tai abstinence when he comes to confirm
them. Letters have been sent to the rec
tors Of churches all over the land to as
sist in carrying out the action Of the
late convention and to urge the MEM
bers of the adult societies to form Or
CARNATIONS among the children.-New
