thoughts Suggested by Last
Sundays Gospel.

The Gospel narrative, read in last
Sundays mass duke Willy
shows our Savior going into Simon
Peters ship on the Lake of Genezareth,
and teaching the multitudes. Accord
ing to tradition, and the teachings of
the early fathers, this ship symbolizes
the church, and the selection of Pet
er's ship by the Good Master has
very important bearing on the church
itself and its teaching. This church
as history proves, is none other than
the Catholic church, for only in her
does Peter continue to live in his sue
cessors, the bishops of Rome, through
out all centuries from Pentecost to
the contamination of the world" The
bishop of Rome. or the pope for the
time being, is the true Peter, not in
person, but in power and dignity, for
he possesses the same prerogatives
with which Christ invested Peter as
the chief pastor of his church. and by
special grace he is infallible in mat
ters of faith and morals. as Peter was;
II will give to thee the Keys of the
kingdom of heaven; whatever thou
shalt bind upon earth it shall be bound
also in heaven; and whatever thou
shalt loose upon earth, it shall be
loosed also in heaven" The bark
therefore, which the pope steers and
governs, is the bark of Peter; and the
bark of Peter is the bark from which
Christ teaches the multitudes.
And Jesus, going UP into one of the
ships which was Peters, taught the
multitudes.'' If Jesus entered the bark
of Peter, it was not by chance He did
so. The Gospel tells us there were two
ships, and in choosing that of Peter
he had one object in view. What was
this object? He wished to teach US
that If we would find his bark, we must
seek it in the church which Peter and,
after him, his successors conduct and
govern. The ship into which the Saw
Tor went" says st. Gregory, is a type
of the church, which He founded on
earth. AS this ship belonged to Peter,
so the Lord would commit to Peter,
too, the guidance of His church, and
entrust her to him, so to speak, as his
property; and as Christ taught His
doctrine out to Peters ship, so the
pure, unadulterated doctrine of Christ
is found only in the church which has
Peter for its head" This church, this
ship. of which Peter is the head, is the
only one that carries Christ; the 9TH
ers are not with Him. nor is he with

''Qui Vincit Patitur. .

A VISITOR to our sanctum after
= transacting some business asked
the editor to decipher the above
epigram inscribed on ring which he
wore on his finger The literal transla
ton is that whatsoever is victorious
suffers" or "He who conquers suffers"
1t is a truism, and applies to every
phase of life, and especially to re-
ligion. In all great victories there is
much suffering. The sufferings of
Christ on the cross were prelude to
his great victory over sin and death.
The early Christians by their patience,
resignation and humility, coupled with
their great suffering when prosecuted
finally conquered the Roman empire.
The scriptures teach that it is through
many tribulations the kingdom Of
heaven is gained Ease and luxury
are the very antithesis of a true fol-
lower of Christ. To be a soldier of the
cross and worthy of heaven means a
continual warfare with the world and
the passions. 1t is always then true
that for final victory in the super
natural life one must suffer.

living an out-of-door life part of the
summer by camping out" After the
vacation, teachers return to school CAD
to be back once again.
The business men ana women are
others who absolutely require vaCa-
tions. Nature calls for this at least
once year If they turn deaf ear
to nature, she will not fail to do tbs
same TO them. First they will become
tired and languid, and il after this
warning they still persist in working
their bodies beyond what they are abe
to do, the body will refuse to work.
and they will become total mental ard
physical wrecks. These spend their va
cations much as teachers do some by
visiting the various resorts, and others
by camping OUT The fishing or
hunting trip is what appeals to the
business man for his pleasure. After
their rest, they return to work filed
with new strength apd vigor, and are
then able to put four times the energy
into their work.
But there is a class of people 10
whom it seems time has forgotten to
assign vacations. These are the
mothers. They have been busy all
winter with the little ones, attending
the household duties and the needs of
the family besides; but no one ever
thinks of mother taking a rest. What
would we do without mother? Who
would perform the thousand little du-
tres that mother does each day? If
we would only forget our selfshness
and insist on mother taking vacation
what world of good it would do! How
she would enjoy a few quiet weeks at
some delightful country seat with a
few well-chosen books and companions,
The free country air would work Won
ders in her, and when she returned, her
tired face would be most restful one
Let us all see that mother shall have
vacation.
Looked at from every point of view,
vacation is one of the most beneficial
as well as one of the most enjoyable
times of the year. What would we do
without ever having a vacation-if we
must plod along through the whole dull
year without the joyful anticipation of
the time of rest that is not far away?

Vacation.

A few weeks of the year in which we
throw all thoughts of our cares and
troubles behind us and rest, recreate
and play, in the true sense of the word,
we call our vacation. In order that we
may truly recreate ourselves, it is
necessary that we have a complete
change. Different people need their
own peculiar advertisement Reading
or music will answer for some, while
others prefer sports, but to no one do
the sports appeal as heartily as to the
children.
For the boys and girls, vacation, the
happiest time of all the year, is just
beginning. Books are closed with a
bang, and possibly will not be opened
again until September. The chiId's
only thought is play. He win be happy
at play from daylight to dark. Nature
demands this for the child. and at the
end of three months of solid play he
returns to school refreshed and able to
take up his work once again.
The students also require the invig-
Grating effects Of vacation after long
winter spent in the dull classroom.
They begin to anticipate the vacation
about the first of January. Visions
of fishing parties hover through their
brains instead Of the difficult Cicero
lesson they are supposed 70 be trans
lating. AT last June arrives, and they
are free to indulge in all the joyous
sports. They go in parties to the glo-
rious rural sports. Others hurry to the
canyons TO experience for weeks the
delight of camping OUT The remain
der throng the local city resorts. and so
they spend their vacation in the very
essence of delight.
Not only the children and students,
but their teacher, anticipates and en-
joys her vacation. To her it certainly
is haven of joy. For nine long
months she has been toiling patiently
with the boys and girls. Her patience
has been all but shattered by the stub
born little freckled-faced youngster or
by the fond mother who calls at least
once a week to know why her child
cannot be given a Special" By the
the humdrum buzz of the schoolroom,
her nerves are strung at their highest
tension, and she surely merits her
much-needed rest.
How do the teachers spend their va
cations? Many of them remained at
home enjoying their absolute freedom.
No one can know a teachers peculiar
sensations in the morning for the first
few. days of her vacation. 1t can hardly
be realized that when the clock strikes
| : she does not have to make grand
rush to catch the 7:15 car, but may lie
in bed until she is rested. Numbers
of the teachers take trips to the diff
ferent pleasure resorts of the United
States. Often teacher parties are form
ed to take these trips, and in this way
expenses are reduced and greater en-
joyment had. A favorite and inexpen-
sive teachers trip is to some of the
southern California summer resorts. AS
a usual thing, these places are very

CATHOLIC OPINION

Our special ambassador to the corona
ton of King Alfonso is said to have hid
den his face when compelled BY court etl-
quette TO attend a bull fight at Madrid
No doubt the Spanish ambassador to this
country would have yelled his counte-
nance. too, If etiquette had obliged him
to attend the public roasting of a negro
in Texas last week. though the telegraph
says that a multitude of the leading ctti-
zens attended the barbecue, with as
much stoicism as so many Spaniards
would display in witnessing bull fight.
On the whole, we have not much to
brag of in the way OF a superior civtl1za-
ton, even when we are giving samples
of it, on the hydrOpathic plan, to our re-
luctant subjects in the Philippines.-The
Pilot
The new president of Cuba says he is
a Catholic and that his wife Is better
Catholic than he is; yet they bad their
six children baptized in the Methodist
church. We would not now be surprised
to learn from Palma that the children
are the best Catholics in the family.

Let it be understood that the art which
panders to human passion-the art gone
astray from the church which inspired

which are the wonder and despair of the
moderns-Should not be tolerated in Cath

which are artistic and edffytng and nave
therefore no excuse for giving place to
object lessons in the flesh and the devil.

The history of the Beer war soon to
be published, and which was briefly re-
viewed in our present and last issue,
will give lucid description of the
war itself and the cause that led up to
it. The cause of all wars has been al
ways and everywhere the same,
wounded pride. ambition and greed. A
nation relying on its power and using
its strength to attain its object wheth-
er good or bad. is lauded by the age.
The Beers We're supplemented, honest,
God-fearing people, who We're the first
colonists in Cape Town. When their
labors made the Wilderness bloom like
the rose" they were driven beyond the
confines of civilization. Might is right,
was the motto always used against the
sturdy Dutch. A second settlement
founded by them was confiscated and
distributed as spoils of war. A third
venture made by these was to go into
the wilderness beyond the Vaal river,
where thy hoped for peace The dis
covery of gold in their new home meant
the necessity of a new government and
a new order of civilization. The Beers
old-fashioned morality. which required
justice, was to the intruder simple cant
"a mere sham. Where might exists

Gods laws and eternaliustice are ig-
nored there is no compromise The
Beers, struggling with fate and hold
ing fast to their inalienable rights in
the midst of the sorest trials, were
forced to yield to numerical strength.
Their long struggle is worthy of adj
miration. Yet we are told by writer's

liberty, that because unsuccessful they
were wrong. Lost causes are always
bad causes, the unfortunate deserve
their fate.

The memorial church to Daniel
O'ConneH in the town of Cahirciveen,
County Kerry, has already cost nearly
$500, 600, and it is not yet completed.
What is the use of erecting such
costly edifice in poor community, and
collecting money for it in all parts of
the world? The population of the town
is less than 2,OOO.-Irish Standard.
The above advice applies not only. to
the church in Cahirciveen, but to
many erected in different parts of Ire
land. Catholic charity and generosity
are appealed TO by home missionaries
who have more costly church edifices
in country places in Ireland than are
TO be found in large cities in America.
The council of Baltimore forbids all
collecting without the sanction and
permission of the Ordinary of the do
cese. Yet many of our Jealous mis-
sionaries forget all canonical restric-
lions, and in defiance of law and order
appeal for aid to a people on whom
they have no claim. They viii sacrifice
the spiritual edifice for the material
and regardless of future consequences
collect. The Cahirciveen church is not
the only one for which money has been
collected. The Catholic laity should
lend no encouragement to persons So
iiciting, and unless they conform with
the rules and regulations of the church
by receiving the sanction of the ordi-
nary of the diocese where they collect.
one simple question could always de-
eide the course to be adopted by those
who are asked to contribute to any
cause. and that is: Have you permits
sion to solicit money in this placer"
