Several of the largest abandoned
copper mines in Eastern Maine will
again be operated. The Maine copper
mines were in successful operation in
1879, and showed good profits while
copper was quoted at IA cents. The
mines could also be operated on a
paying basis with copper at IL cents,
but the crash came when the Wiscon-
sin mines put down the price of cop
per to eight cents. Now that copper
is SO high, it will be very profitable
to mine it.

quest.

DOCTRINE EXPLAINED.
Rev. Father Newell, o. P, on Its
ReasonabIeness.

An interesting lecture on The Rea-
sonableness of Catholic Doctrine" was
delivered last night by Rev. Father Ne
well. o. P, at the Young Mems Institute
in the Pioneer building under the aus
pices of Ignatian Council No. 35, Y. NJ L
The reverend lecturer argued that
Catholic doctrine, as well as reason itself.
We're gifts of God, and therefore could not
conflict with each other
In this connection said Father Ne
the epithet right reason because as you
well know reason is capable OF abuse and
perversion. Catholic doctrine may be di-
vided into two-truths of a natural order
and those which possess supernatural
characteristics. The natural religious
truths are capable of an exact and sCien-
tifc demonstration by the simple force
OF our own natural reason. Nothing is
more reasonable than the fundamental
truths of the existence of God, the crea-
ton Of the world and the immortality of
reposes. We all have an innate idea Of
the infinite which represents the real be-
ing of the Almighty. In believing in
them we but confirm what the highest
geniuses have given testimony TO.
Reason has no right 10 demonstrate
the supernatural doctrines because II has
not the power to do so. SUperna tural
truths have been revealed by God himself
and our weak intellect cannot grasp them
supports supernatural truths is both dOCu-
mentary and historical The Holy Scrip
lures are in themselves proof sufficient Of
the reasona bleness Of supernatural truths
and the authenticity of the witnesses TO
them cannot be questioned
