A RINGING REBUKE.
Miss Elder Is Brought to Task by a
Catholic Editor.

The following rebuke to Southern
old maid appeared in the Catholic Uni
verse, of Cleveland. Ohio:
Miss NJ. Il. Elder of New Orleans
whom the Baltimore Mirror calls 'this
gentl" lady of the Southland" has
broken into the papers again. She has
a habit of doing it, Just now we do
not recall anything that she has ever
said in praise of her church, although
she may have done so. Her forte is to
keep track of the clergy and abuse the
laity. At this particular juncture she
wants to know. ''N hat have we-,thc
| United States Catholics ever originat-
ed? Wherein do we lead? Protestants
start the fresh air fund: we tag on be-
hind. Protestants start the Kings
Daughters. Years later we-tag on
behind. PrOtestants start the social
settlement idea. Many years later VIC
tag on behind. Protestants start
night schools, Sunday schools and free
kindcrgartens. Several years later we
bring up the rear" And so on ut
length.
Catholics are not doing everything,
and some things which perhaps they
should debut they are doing income
pnlahly more than any one else. There
is nothing new in the principle of char
ity thar inspired the plans above mrn-
toned. 1t is as old rs the world 1t is;
easy enough to multiply methods and
plans of bcr crcvolcncc when the means
arc ut hand to carry them out. Cath
oics as a class are tlrc poor in this
country. But even out of their power
ty they have covered the land with Or
pllan asylums. hospitals, homes for the
aged poor. protectories for boys and
places of refuge for girls. They must
be blind indeed WHO can stand in the
presence Of these magnificent monu-
mcnts of Catholic charity and sacrifice
land then blame Catholics for not vast
ing energies ir the ephemcral and
questionable methods of those who
substitute philanthropy and altruism
for charity and belong to the votaries
of human respect Of whom our Lord
said: "They have had their reward y
What is new about the Sunday
school idea? There are records of the
existence of Sunday schools which
were established seventeen hundred
years ago. Where was Professionalism
then? Tho social settlement idea is
rs old as the apostles. Where was
Professionalism then? The foundation
stone Of all enduring social settlements
rand society of any kind is the security
of the marriage tic. Have the Cath
ollie church and her children tagged
after anyone in maintaining this?
While Catholics are engaged in feed
ing and caring for thousands of orphan
children, day and night, winter and
summer, it is silly to talk about them
tagging after those who look after
them for few weeks at n season
when they need it least. The ranks OF
the Priesthood and the Sisterhoods arc
filled from the body OF the laity. Is
there any comparison between the phi
lanthropy which sits in comfort ant
doles out surplus wealth through
agents and the heroic Catholic charity
The Irish standard., 1901-02-23

which inspires the sacrifice of those
who bind themselves heart and soul,
mind and body, to serve the poor until
they die?
What are Catholics doing for prac-
teal and vital philanthropy? They
are bearing the injustice Of paying
taxes for schools which they cannot
use and imposing upon themselves the
heavy burden of maintaining their
OWL parOrha schools. Is there any
charity more vital and practical than
that which aims to lay the foundations
of Christian citizenship and which
alone can save this country from the
paganism that has never reigned but
to destroy? Are Catholics tagging af-
ter any one i'll this vital plan for the
betterment of men:
| If we could take the millions of dol
lars that it has cost to construct our
educational institutions and the mil
lions we are spending to maintain
them, would it be SO difficult to look
after Il few children for Il couple of
weeks and supply them with fresh air
or establish free kindergartens for the
few who patroniZc them? 1t is not
only ungenerous, but unjust to charge
American Catholics with pcnury and
lack Of originality because they do not
employ themselves in hunting novel
ties instead of adllering to the practi-
cal and well tried methods that they
have followed for centuries. 1t is not
II question Of new methods; it is a
question of best methods. Has Prot
estantism invented any way to do
more good to mole people all the time
than the Catholic church? If so, what
is it? If rot, then what about all
this senseless twaddle from those who
think it a sign of superior wisdom
and broad liberality to blame Catho-
lies for not doing all the little things
that Protestants do and who lose
sight of the big things that Catholics
are doing and which Protestants nci-
tller do nor can do?
1t might be well for carping Catho-
lies to get acquainted with Catholics
and Catholic works. 1t is generally
safe to conclude that those who find
most fault with their church and
their co-religionists belong to a class
who might do much more for God and
their fellow-men, than they are do
ing without straining charity-or ex-
hauSting old methods.
