OF the groom IL they are not at the

DANTE. FAITH AND DOCTRINE.

Church.

He Was Always Devoted Son of the
Church.
1t may be declared at once that there
is not the very smallest ground for
claiming Dante as "reformer before
the reformation" says the Fortnightly
Review. There is no trace in his writ
ings of doubt or dissatisfaction re-
speeding any part of the teaching of
the church in matters of doctrine. He
would probably have considered any
such feeling as most presumptuous, and
indeed, as little short of blasphemous.
A great deal has betn written about his
waite judgment" of his alleged SYM
pathy with free thinking" or with
"philosophic doubt and SO forth. OF
this also it appears to me that no evil
dence can be found. There seems every
reason to believe him to have been an
entirely firm, faithful and devoted SON
Of the church without any misgiving
as to her teaching or as to her indie
feasible right to teach. All this is per
fectly consistent with the most scathing
denunciation of abuses in practice on
the part of the popes, cardinals and
the members of religious orders Dante
himself quantity expresses the distinc-
ton in his letter addressed to the Ital-
ian cardinals. He imagines them re-
torting upon him that by so interior
ing he is repeating the sin of Uzzah.
Truly Che repliesl / am one of the
most Insignificant of the sheep of the
flock of Jesus Christ. and certainly
do not abuse any pastoral Office because

irony of that because Nor am 1
guilty of the presumption of Uzzah,
because he interfered with the ark,
with the refractory oxen Gloves calcit-
rantes) that are dragging it out of the
path" Nor, indeed, is the language of
Dante respecting such abuses a whit
more severe than what may be found
in the writings of many canonized
saints. such as st. Peter Damian. st.
Bonaventura, st. Bernard and many
others. Again. that Dante would have
| Joined Luther in his denunciation of the
sale of pardons and indulgences, and
such like abuses, we cannot for a mo-
ment doubt. He has, in fact, antici-
pated him here. In Par. xvii, 81, he
makes St. Peter say that he never
| thought to have become the figure on a
seal attached to venal and mendacious
| privileges, which ofttimes makes him
to blush and glow with indignation
even in heaven. But there is no evil
dence, but very much the reverse. that

hand upon the ark of doctrine

FAN White, who was clinging to the
logs, heard an awful cry, and looking
through the cloud of spray, he saw the
young German sinking out Of sight in
the maddened waters.
When these rapids were passed,
White succeeded in making landing
and securing the raft to the narrow
strip OF shore. The food, the arms the
mining tools were gone, but the buck
skin bag full of gold was still fast to
the logs.
1t was now that the hero in Whites
nature asserted itself Alone, without
food, at the bottom Of canyon in the
heart OF vast desert, with unknown
dangers ahead. and no idea Of where
the mighty gorge ended, and no knowl-
edge of the abodes of the nearest
whites, yet this man did not despair.
He thought of his mother and trusted
in God.
Now and then the raft shot past
side canyons, bleak and forbidding,
like cells set in the walls OF mighty
prison. On went the raft with no liv-
Ing thing in sight. for these profound
depths were never stirred by the wings
OF bird. and hitherto no human being
mad ever gone through them and lived
to tell the tale.
On the fourth afternoon since he
had had food. the canyon widened out
and he saw bushes. He made the shore
and ate the leaves and the pods of the
mesquite bean.
AT length, and after he had been fif-
teen days In the canyons depths,
Whites reason tottered, and he lay
helplessly and hopelessly on the raft.
Just fourteen days from the time
he started on this forced voyage, White
heard the splash of oars and encourag-
ing cheers. He was too weak to raise
his head. In a short time he saw
many bearded faces looking down on
him in pity. He had passed through
the great canyon, and had drifted to
Callville, Mormon settlement at the
mouths of the Virgin river.
White weighed in health $50 pounds
he weighed less than 80 when he fin
ished the most wonderful trip in the
records Of adventure and daring.

not bother them, when just before
daylight one August morning they
were startled from sleep by the thun-
der of rocks from the cliffs above and
the shrill yells of the savages.
with dawn they saw the Navajos on
both sides of the deep gulch. but the
horror OF the situation was increased
when Capt. Baker fell, with a bullet
through his brain.
White and Strole saw their only
chance for escape was to make their
way down the canyon to the west.
They took the heavily laden burrc

About the middle Of the afternoon

bank to bank. They made raft of
