THE FAITH OF OUR FATHERS.
How Cardinal Gibbons Came to Write
That Great Book.

The distinguished Texas missionary,
the Rev. P. F. Brannan, writes inter
estingly to the Southern Messenger of
his recent visit to the east when he
called on Cardinal Gibbons:
Il went about 4 p. m, presented my
name, and in a few moments he was
present. After talking for some fifteen
minutes he invited me to return at 5
O'Clock and go out with him for a ride
l returned at the appointed time, the
cOachman was there with a team of
fine bay horses, hitched to a hand
some Victoria. We began talking
about the work in which 1 am en-
gagged and he listened with attention
and evident pleasure. The Faith of
Our Fathers became a subject of con-
versation and he told me how he came
TO write 1t. When bishop of North
Carolina he and Father Mark Gross,
brother Of the late Archbishop Gross,
were frequently out on the missions
preaching to Protestants as well as
Catholics. The interval between their
visits to the missions was sometimes
very long, and one day the present
cardinal said TO Father Gross that he
would like for him to write a kind of
a brochure on dogmatic subjects, have
it printed and distributed so the peo-
pie would not forget what they had
preached about before they returned.
Father Gross replied: 'Bishop. whv
don't you do it yourself?' His sugges-
Ron was the initial, irnpelling force

that led to the writing of book which
will be read till the end of the world.
He picked up pen at once and began
and finished an introduction. At odd
times, and when not otherwise en-
gagged, he worked upon that book day
and night until it was finished. He
says he did not think much of it and
disposed of it to publishers, who
doubtless, have made many thousands
OF dollars by its sale. When l sug-
gested that he would live and work in
his book as long as the English Ian
guage is spoken, the serene and happy
smile which illumined his countenance
was most pleasing to see.
Il have known the cardinal for
some nineteen years, and my impress
sions of him have been confirmed by
my recent visit. He is kind, gentle,
simple, tactful, with no apparent
thought of the altitude of his dignity
Long may he remain the gentle and
unobtrusive, yet towering, exponent or
our holy religion in these United
States,
Il met in New York the big, earnest,
rugged Ajax of the Catholic mission
aries to non Catholics, Father Elliott
He was on the federal side in the civil
war and 1 was a Confederate. We
spent pleasant time talking over the
war. He told me he was captured in
the valley of Virginia at Port Republic
l was there at the very place where he
was captured, and as l saw all the
prisoners 1 must have seen the embryo
priest, author and missionary on the
9th of June, 1862, forty years before
met him in New York City. He asked
me if l was ever captured. L told him
yes-but not by a handful of men like
he was captured. as it took all OF
Grants army to capture me at Apo
mattox. We are now in the same
army, under the same General, the
Prince of Peace, a life of whom he has
written, of a copy of which work he
made me the grateful recipient"

The Church and Temperance,

Remarks made before the convention
of the w. c. I. u. by the Very Rev.
Frank A. O'Brien of Kalamazoo in the
Rosary Magazine for September: You
can never curb the will of man by
force. Influence must be brought to
mold that will. The earlier the will is
brought under submission, the greater
is its possessor The child is placed in
its Catholic school. There are more
than million children in the parochial
schools in this country. From their
youthful years they are trained to self
denial. No meat on Friday; doing with
out sugar during Lent, ETC., all this
helps them to realize that there is Vir-
tue in self-denial. This is established
in youth. Conouering self brings with
it more than earthly reward The
knowledge of the practice of self-de-
NAL is a thousand times more bene-
fetal than the effects of alcoholic
charts and similar instructions in our
public schools. l do not believe that
the presentation of the evils of alco-
hol by charts, etc, is the best thing
for the child 1t brings the evil effects
before the mind, and in this way often
brings the thought, How can / pre-
vent the effects, while indulging in the
evil?' Where the love of the virtue is
not instilled, there is no object for self
denial"

A shocking discovery was made on
Thursday evening near the little VIII
lage of Tullahogue, about three miles
from CookstoWn. A man of the labor
ing class named James Henry has been
missing since Tuesday last, and on
Thursday evening about 5 o'clock his
dead body was discovered lying at the
bottom of garden attached to house
in Tullahogue. When discovered, the
body was lying face downward, with
the head in a wooden box, in which
was a little water. The box was near
a ditch, and it is surmised the unfor-
tunate man in attempting to get over
the ditch, slipped and fell, with the re-
suit that his throat sruck the edge of
the box and he was rendered uncon-
scious and eventually expired from suf-
location. The water in the box was
not sufficiently deep to cause death by
drowning. DR.. Crossett. Cookstown,
examined the body and pronounced life
extinct.
The death is announced at Sultan
Carrickmore, County Tyronne, of a
widow named Mary Martin. who is said
to have attained the great age of 115
years. Throughout her long life, she
had never suffered from illness.

Injury to the Harvest.-Owing to the
heavy rains which necessarily fell all
through Monday morning the oat crop
which is in anything but an advanced
state round this part of the country,
was greatly damaged. In all the low
lying districts and boggy land between
Claremorris and Ballinrobe the oat
crop, which is practically the chief
crop produced there, is all lying, and
presents anything to the poor tenant
farmer but an encouraging appearance.
Indeed, as far as the oat crop is con-
cerned. unless the condition of the
weather amends, the prospects of the
peasants in this respect are very poor.

Strange Case in Armagh On
Saturday morning last, Mrs. Har-
pur, wife of a large and respectable
farmer named William Harpur, of Lis
adian, near Newry, County Armagh,
was found dead in bed at her hus-
bands residence. The case was report
ed to the coroner for the district, Mr..
John Fras. Small, Newry, as an ordin-
ary sudden death, and that gentleman
did not deem an inquest necessary. The
remains were inferred in the Kings
mile Presbyterian graveyard on Mon
day, the 18th inst. 1t subsequently
transpired, hiwever, that the deceased
and her daughter, Anne, had been liv-
ing on bad terms for d considerable
time past, and when this fact came to
the knowledge of the coroner, he de-
cided to hold an inquest. The body
was exhumed on Wednesday, and in
the following evening Mr.. Small held
the inquiry. Evidence having been
given, the jury refused to find YER
dict on the evidence before them, and
a portion of the viscera of deceased
was ordered to be sent away for ana
lysis.
The inquiry was then adjourned until
Friday, the 18th of September.

THE SENATE FIRST
 THE HOUSE LATER
Will Have Consideration of Cuban
 Reciprocity Treaty.

. Washington, December 22.-President Roosevelt has let it be known that before he reached his decision to send the Cuban reciprocity treaty to the senate and not to the house he consult ed freely the leaders of the house and the members of his cabinet. After mature consideration it was determined that it was unnecessary to send the Cuban treaty to the house, notwith- standing the fact that it affected the revenues of the government.
 Precedents were looked up carefully. It was found that previous reciprocity treaties had been sent directly to the senate for ratification. This was notably true of the Newfoundland treaty. No objection was ever raised to. the consideration by the senate alone of that treaty.
 1t can be said to be the purpose of the president when the Cuban treaty shall have been ratified by >the senate 70 send a message to both branches of congress with recommendation for such enabling legislation Gs wHl make the treaty operative. This will afford the house full opportunity, it is e. pected. to stamp with it's approval ami it's individuality the negotiations TOT reciprocity with Cuba.
