THE sANcTITY OF AN OATH.

& IL,
Ryan, in his booklet on "Agnosticism.
for the Chicago Catholic Truth So
ciety. "let us look at some other SEN
tinels that guarded society from de-
struction. Look for instance. at the
sanctity and Importance of an oath.
Washington. in his celebrated farewell
address, calls attention to this point
when he shows the necessity of religion
to maintain the young republic he had
gloriously founded. A mans life, prop
erty and character may be stricken
down by a false oath. What maintains
the awful responsibility of an oath, but
the fact that God is called to witness
the truth of what is said and will pun
ish the perjurer though the law may
not discover him. With the Bible in his
hand the man is about to call God to
witness, but the agnostic whispers to
him, Perhaps there is no God-you
cannot know it-you shall be only lying,
which, indeed, is not honorable. but
brings no divine vengeance Why is
it that perjury is becoming 50 COM
mon. and why is it that the law does
not punish it as severely as of old?
Simply because faith in its true moral
guilt is decreasing.
Look again at threatening anarchy
throughout the world. What right has
one man to rule another? Are not all
men born free and equal? Why usurp
authority only because you have physi-
cal force enough to crush your slavish
subject?
There is but one true and rational
theory of the power of man over man,
and it is that God made man q social
being and order requires that some
should be above and rule others. All
power comes from the God of society.
Hence to violate the law of the land
| is sin not only against the law, but
against the great Creator himself.
Thus the civil magistrate is a min
lister of Gods justice and must be
obeyed. He may be changed by a vote
of the people, but whilst he is in power
he must be respected and obeyed not
| for his own sake, but for the sake of
| the power he Yields and of the God
who gave it. Take away God and his
law, and anarchy lifts its horrid head
| in defiance. False principles on the
subject as on that of suicide will lead
and do lead to overt acts against So
ciety. The boy assassin who struck
down the president of the French re-
public had been once innocent till the
poison of false principles drove him to
do the fatal deed.
TT is particularly necessary that we
should remember this great principle
| of authority. We make and unmake
| legislators and magistrates and are Ii
able to regard them as merely our
creatures. OF old, God sent his prophet
to anoint the foreheads of his power
and ministers of justice. Now he sends
his prophet to anoint the foreheads OF
| the people and they elect their rulers
those who elected them, and must be
obeyed. AS 1 have shown, if you lose
all consideration of God anarchy must
follow
q might continue, if 1 deemed ii
| necessary, to illustrate the fatal effects
on the individual and the state, of the
rejection or doubt or unknowability Of
the existence of the supreme being, by
showing that thereby the great mo-
tives of right acting are removed or sc
weakened as to leave our poor human
ity to the mercy of its own passions.s

W1erd Indian Legend
Tragic Tale of the Famous He.He Stone i'm the North
eastern Part of the State of Washington.

would pass the queerly shaped stone
especially after night. Those who had
the temerity to brave their fears de-
clared that they beheld the two braves
engaged in deadly struggle and heard
the groans of the dying warrior.
Thus. for long period the old wind
ing trail was practically abandoned
and in peril of becoming overgrown
and obliterated. But the whites
laughed at the red mans needless
fears, and began TO use the trail final
ly broadening it into a fine roadway.
OF late years the Indian has meas
ureably triumphed over his fears, but
not over his veneration for the spot
Faithfully the story has descended
as generations have come and gone.
The stone has become and still is a
Veritable shrine. No Indian, regard
less of age, sex or condition, will pass
the place with covered head or fail to
deposit some memento, some little
trinket on or beside the grim stone.
These articles are such as are held
in high esteem by the average Indian.
They consist Of arrow heads, spear
points, bows, arrows, all kinds of beads
and beadwork, thimbles, pins, needles,
pocket knives, tomahawks, pipes to-
bacco, rudeiy wrought metallic jewelry,
wampum, curious Shells all kinds of
gaudy gewgaws, etc. Even small pieces
of money are sometimes left. Vandal
hands, however, have generally appro-
priated the coin, and of late the In
dams do not tempt the cupidity of the
passers by exposing money.
In the course of years q great many
of these memorial offerings have &C
cumulated.
Near the "He-He stone" is planted
a staff about twenty feet high. This
pole is made all the more conspicuous
by having a number of long streamers
attached to it extending from the top
down to within a few yards of the
ground. These streamers consist of
very bright, brilliant-hued CLOTH The
staff and its ornaments may be seen
for q long distance by those passing
along the road, going or coming.
Connected with this staff is very pc
culiar custom which emphasizes the
effect of the legend.
Exposure to the elements causes the
streamers to fade and fray out and the
pole to decay. Whenever a new staff
is required or fresh streamers needed
these materials are always furnished
by the oldest surviving Indian in the
| tribe, be it man or woman.
Contact and association with modern
civilization have wrought marvellous
| changes in the moral and mental con-
dition of the red man, says ]. Wayne
| Baltimore in the Seattle Post-Intel-
| ligencer, but it has not eliminated his
belief in the mystic traditions of, his
race. He still remains, to a great de-
gree, a stoical dreamer and enthusiast
/ of the halcyon period when j. Fenimore
! Cooper lived and wrote.

primevaI wildernesses, who have built
up in their fellow men this mighty fact
of the Catholic church. 1t allied them
into unity in one stupendous organism;
the body of Christ
"They constitute one of the greatest
forces created on earth; quiet. subtle,
omnipresent we'll nigh irresistible. Be
hind them lies a history of deeds un-
paralleled. And after two thousand
years they seem as strong, as compact
and purposeful as in the days of the
early fethers.
These are the men who overthrow
paganism, and who rule today the
larger part of the Christian world.
From them emanted the holy army
of martyrs and the company of the
saints; from their ranks were chosen
the popes who governed Europe and
turned the tides of history. Their
outward temporal power is no longer
what it was; but the power of no tenn
porary power equals theirs. Authority
and obedience mingle in their aspect,
these rae the virtues to which the
world succumbs."
