The Poor Heather.

Let us go and find the heather; let us
take him by the hand;
Let us take his evil from him; let us
s. also take his land;
Let us break it to him gently that it's
wrong to be so nude,
And inculcate proper notions of the
style. as it's pursued.
Let us show him all the glories of the
white mans kingdom come,
And, by way of introduction, sell him
lots of white mans rum.
Let us seek our heather brother in be-
nighted lands afar,
And impress him with the wrongness
of his habits as they are;
Let us guide him slowly, surely, till
he's nobly civilized.
And has banished all his foibles, all
his fancies, so despised:
Let us show him how he's destined to
60 forward with a jump,
Lest our grand, resistless progress
takes him 'mdship with a bump.
Let us teach him that the bolo and the
dagger are not right.
When the seven-shooter follows up it's
barking with bite:
Let us bring to him the gospel of the
shirt and full-dress suit,
And the glad and glorious tidings of
the proper shoe or boot.
Let us lift the poor old heather from
the bog wherein he sticks,
And explain to him the beauties of the
game of politics.
Then We'll labor with the pagan till he
understands our ways
And will ponder with a shudder on his
old unhappy days.
We will stock his land with clothing.
we will do it with golf links,
And he'll hail the architecture of the
home of fancy drinks;
And We'll get the glory for it-for the
good that we will do
And the grand. impressive glory-and
We'll get his money, too.

souls, the church will never prosper:
dry rot will consume her timbers. de
cay will selze upon her whole frame
work. How limitless the works that
await the zeal OF American Catholics.
There Is the work of higher e,lucn,
ton. Our youths are too generally
content with common school educa-
| ton; too few Of them are pupils of
/ colleges or universities. Indeed. the
number that do seek higher e(luca-
ton is lamentably small. Parents do
not understand the Importance of such
education for their childrell; priests do
not understand the Importance of it
for their people, and for the church.
Intelligence Is power; intelligence
means influence; it means victory. If
Catholics are to rise to positions of
distinction, if they are to be in the
country something more than herds Of
voters, If they are to elevate them
selves and to honor their church, they
must be educated. Heretofore the cry
has heen-and Il blessed one it is to
which, as time goes by, our lips must
not be closed-Catholic schools; but
henceforth more than in the past must
go this other cry-and be it even loud
cr-Catholic schools and a Catholic
university! And since the people will
rise only as their leaders rise, be there
still this other cry-and the loudest of
all-seplinares for our Levites, the
best and highest that thought and
money can bestow!
There is the work of the religious
education of the people. Without this.
mere secular education will not avail;
rather will it be a peril and menace.
We shall multiply Catholic schools
and colleges. This is not enough. But
l ask. is due care taken to instruct in
religion the legions of children who,
for one reason or another will not at
tend Catholic schools and colleges?
The neglect of such children will be a
terrible misfortune for the church.
And, l further ask, is the religious in
struction usually given in Sunday
classes and in schools as deep. as ex-
tcnsive, as dogmatic, as the needs of
the times demand? The letter of the
catechism, pious legends. devotional
practices will never enable our youth
to encounter the cold winds of unbe.
lief passing over the land; will never
fit them to be, before non-Catholics

The need Of the hour is solid instruc
ton In the great dogmas and moral
principles Of the Catholic religion. We
are taken up too much with little
things, the mere frills and flounces OF
piety; and we forget the vital elements
which produce and nurture that virile
religion, for which alone men today
have the time and taste, and which
alone will defy all storms.
Is there sufficient religious instruc
ton for the Catholic body at large:
