On Friday, March end, the ladies of the
Rising Sun w. c. T. U. visited the schools
i'll that village, and presented to each, q
nicely framed picture of Miss Frances f.
Willard.
The presentation speech at each school
was made by Mrs A. c. Shippers. The
picture was accepted by the teacher Helena
DeCou, on the part of the Friends Normal,
and the visiting committee entertained by
the Literary Society with readings and
rectations.
1t was Bryant day aud the roll call was
responded to with quotations from him. At
the public school, there was also reading
and reoting, and some excellent singing
by the scholars, the assistant teacher Miss
Minnie Briokley playing the accompani-
ments. The picture was received on behalf
Of che school, by the principal, Eugene
Reynolds. Short talks were given the
children upon temperance and purity by
Mrs. Emma T. Haines and Rev. T. b.
Hunter.
We are very glad to see by the last issue
Of the WING that the "Y's" are going to
edit Y. W. C. T. L. column. That is
right girls, go ahead and preach temperance
to the young men through the columns Of
this widely circulated paper. None can
influence the young like the young. We
predict for your column, if you persevere
in filling it with good sound arguments,
great good, and lasting influence.
1t is a matter OF regret that more ''Y s.
do not exist in our county. But we are
truly glad to see the one at Woodlawn TAX
ing this forward step. "Apropos Of Total
Abstinence'-an article lately appearing
IN one of our leading magazines, written
by one Of our most successful financers, in
which he proposed to give young men some
points for advancement in business, "but"
said he at the very beginning, "Do you
Drink ?" or you do, it is not necessary for
you to read any further. No young man
who has formed or is forming the habit of
indulging in intoxicants, can possibly sue
coed in successfully conducting any bust
ness in this day and time. Employers do
not want them, in the first place, no mat
ter how bright and capable they may he.
If they discover traces of this fatal weak
ness they will hasten to be rid of them,
and to get in their places total abstainers

CELIBATE PRIESTS.
Why Ministers of the Roman Catholic
Church Do Not Wed.

The Rev, DR.. William Temple, rector of
the Church of IS. Peter and Paul. Easton,
had large congregation of both Catholics
and Professionals at his church Sunday even.
ing it having been announced that the
subject of his sermon would be "Why
Priests Do Not Marry Father Temple
explained that he had selected this subject
because it had been published in a local
paper that the Pope had granted permits
| sion to the priests Of South America to take
unto themselves wives and was about to
extend the same concession to the North
American priests, both of which statements
he said, were pure inventions, in fact abso
lutte falsehoods.
There were historical, spiritual and prac-
tical reasons, the preacher said, why priests
do not marry. History tells us that the
absolute, official inhibition Of priests mar
rying came at very early date IN the
church. Before that celbacy was the rule,
marriage the rare exception. Christ, the
great High Priest and great exempar of
the priesthood, was celebate and so we'll
known for His purity and chastity that,
although accused by scribes and pharsees
of gluttonry, sediton, demagogism and
in accusation against Him of immortality.
50 with His immediate disciples Peter
was the only married one among them, and
he probably had wife when he left all
things to follow the Master.
Spiritually celibacy and chastity in the
priesthood is great uplifted. 1t teaches
that the strongest passion known to human
nature must be subdued and conquered,
trampled upon and eradicated for the love
of the Master. The young man who deter
mines to seek orders in the Catholic Church
knows what he has to do to serve the altar
He must come in virginia. chastity or not
at all; he must make his vows to maintain
it or be turned away.
Enemies Of the church seek to malign US
by saying that celibacy in the priesthood
and in the convent tends to immortality
outside the marital state. This is a garing
falsehood Were the priest immoral,
would it not be known? We live in the
glare Of publicity, in an inquisitive and
prying curiosity as to our modes Of living,
the ordering of our lives, what we eat and
drink, and what apparel, where we go and
what we do In the world there are virgins
among your daughters, sisters, aunts, as
pure and undefled as the most sacredly
cloistered.
In work practically the celibate priest
has no divided allegiance between duty to
his calling and duty to a family, as mar
ried minister has. He goes into and not
away from pestlence and war. No wife
and children to call him back or TO distract
his mind in the hospitals where the plague
RACES or on the battle fields where bullets
fly and blood flows. For these, among
other reasons, it will be long time, il
ever, that the church will give consent to
her priests marrying.
