Catholic Fight Against Secret Societies

Dubuque, May 9.-Rev. Father Wei
rich, of ST. Mary's German Catholic
church, has begun crusade against
secret societies, directing his attack
particularly against the Modern
Woodmen of, America. He demands
that the members of his church must
give up the secret societies or leave
the church. Many members are pro-
testing against the priests decree,
claiming that the Catholic Order OF
Foresters, Knights of Columbus and
other secret orders within the church
are as bad as the non-religious orders.

the subject of constitutional liberty

"The constitution of the United

Under that provision in 1898, under

the Louisiana Purchase. of which the
state of Iowa is the most productive

of seven members, all Of whom must

is appointed by the secretary OF the

ascertained by drawing according to
the custom Of the tea trade with the

MICROBES IN HOLY WATER.
Aqua Pura for Ceremonial Purposes
should BE Pure.

Aqua Pura for Ceremonial Purposes
should BE Pure.
The Rome correspondent of the Lam
Get recently made the suggestion that
the salt which from the earliest ages
has been mingled with the water used
for ceremonial purposes should be
modified so as to make it a true disin-
fectant. Salt, as the best known and
probably the earliest used substance
for preventing decay, was most likely
added originally purely from its SYM
bolic meaning, though possibly the
symbolism, as in so many other in
stances, grew side by side with the
literal meaning, says the Lancet Ac-
cording to the Catholic Times Of Dec.
-, 1899, the OsserVatore Romano does
not fall in with our correspondents
suggestion, avowing that the water, be-
ting holy, needs no human treatment,
and has never hitherto been regarded
as a channel OF disease. The Catholic
Times goes on in the following emf
nentIy sensible fashion: God has
given us intelligence to use, and even,
when He blesses requires us to take
the ordinary precautions which reason
suggests The argument that no
change Is necessary because the neces-
Sitv for it has not been suspected be-
tore now cuts at the ground of i'm
provement" We are glad to be able
to note these remarks in our contem-
porary as showing the accordance OF
common sense lay opinion with that OF
scientific men. We have previously
pointed out how the church has always
taken cognizance Of mems bodies as
we'll as their souls. There must be
no standing still in either religion or
science, for In both the intellect is
striving to reach heights at present
beyond it, but which shall one day be
attained, and that which is now dark
shall be made light.
