lieve in opinion. Above these two is
the grand plane Of truth; the truth of
God, as when He said: II am the
Way, the Life and the Truth" am
amazed that there are so many people
in this thinking age who define their
religion by saying: II think SO and so,
1 do not think so and so." 1t should
be what the Lord thinks. That is the
Catholic position. The Catholic
Church does not take upon itself the
responsibility for any one mans opin-
ion.
read III a newspaper recently that
the Catholic Church opposed free
thought, free speech, free Bible and
almost every form Of freedom. If the
Church fetters thought so does science
fetter thought in the investigation OF
the truth of things. There Gun only be
one religion as there is only one truth
and one God. The only thing that re-
strains many from embracing the
Catholic Church is the fear of their
surroundings. 1t is not question of
reasoning; it is matter of bread and
butter.
AS the telescope is to astronomy so
is the Church in bringing truth down
to the people. There are great many
people who continuously use the phrase
about freedom of thought Ask them
what they mean and they will answer:
"You have your opinion and 1 have
mine" The Church crystalizcs the
truth and replaces opinions. The
world to-day would put Jesus Christ
in Hall Of Fame MS noted bene-
factor, one Of the great teachers with
Aristotle Homer and others, but the
Catholic Church says that He is the
only teacher Of the truth.
Rome and Reason are one and the
same thing.

Is not the fault Of the Catholic editors
that we cannot boast of strong Cath.

readers who fail to see the Importance
and the great advantages of a we'll

apostolate can do an immense amount
of good.
Let the Catholic laity, the lay

canvass for subscribers and introduce
Catholic papers into Catholic homes.
Here, again, the Catholics of Germany
are our model and source of inspira-
tion. In the year Of 1871, when the
naughty Chancellor undertook his Ia
mentable mission to destroy the influ-
ence Of the Church, there were but
three newspapers in Germany. When,
however, in 1873, the laity came to the
rescue of the Church and realized the
immense advantage Of good Cath
olic newspaper, they began to multi
ply, and today there are over three
hundred Catholic newspapers in the
German Empire, ever ready to engage
in the holy battle for Christ and His
Spouse.
If the great organization of knights
of Columbus is an Introduction to that
undertaking, then bless God for it's
existence. If the federation of Cath
olic societies at Cincinnati is n prelude
to such a movement, then bless the
mitred heads that guided it and glory
in the laity which follow their leader
ship.
Let the Catholic laity, the lay of
apostolate, exercise their influence in
journalism. Let them come to the
rescue of the Catholic press and make
1T vehicle for the propagation Of
truth and the opposition to falsehood
This great, vast and impetuous dem
ocracy needs a steady hand, fixed
principles and the leadership of men
whose forefathers laid the cornerstone
of empires and made them glorious.

After ten years Of litigation, and
the issuance of volumes of reports
which have cost the British and In
dian tax payers thousands of pounds,
the final court of appeal, sitting in Lon
don, ruled recently that the value Of
the hide Of n cow which was killed
on the Mahratta railway, in 1889,
should be paid to the Rejah of Seyd, in
stead Of to the owner of the cow.
This animal is second only in legal
annals to the Widow Bridget Maloncy's
cow, which was killed by the Canad-
ian Pacific Railway. This cow case,
championed for the widow by the bril-
liant Sir Charles Tupper, was fought
through every court of the Dominion,
and then carried to Parliament, where,
on the last week of the session, Sir
Charles got the floor to argue for the
Widow Maloney, and talked for twen-
ty-four hours on a stretch, his object
being to secure an award for the
widow or hold up the appropriation
bills for the ensuing year. When Sir
Charles had finished reading a score
Of bulky volumes on the history of
cows and the dairy interests, together
with the genealogy of the Maloney
family back to the days of Fin Nc
Ceol, the Conservatives gave up. the
fight and promised Sir Charles heavy
damages for the widow IL he would
bring his talk to an end and permit the
appropriations to 60 through before
the close of the session.

ary.
Apostolate Of the laity, there is a
field of labor for you. There is a
task as noble as it is just, as great as
it is full Of reward. Let our laity en-
ter into politics with that task before
them to disseminate the principles of
justice and Righteousness in govern
ment. Let them dispossess their own
minds and the minds of others Of the
delusion that we have made a new in
vention in government, and, as some
Of our bloated rhetoricians would have
us believe, that this Government is the
embodiment of the Gospel of Christ,
and let them proclaim the old Divine,
immortal principle that righteousness
exalteth nation, which has stood the
test Of ages. Let the laity assert
themselves and demand their rights
as citizens Of this great country.
There is another field in which the lay
apostolate can exercise most salutary
influence and erect mighty forti-
fication to Withstand in the hours of
trial the attacks made upon our Holy
Faith. I am alluding to the Catholic
press. The Church, faithful to her
Divine commission to save the ran
somed flock of Christ and to guard
them against influences which would
ALLEVIATE them from their religion, has
always made use of all legitimate
means at hand and pressed them into
her service. The pages of history
everywhere testify how music and
architecture were used by the Church,
in conjunction with her doctrine, to
bring truth and civilization to the bar
barians. The printing press in our
days is one of the means which the
Church must use, both for defense and
instruction. In an age when pagan
ideas rush in in mighty torrent to
destroy the bulwarks of faith, and
often carry away with them many a
precious soul; in an age when atheism
is eating out the vitals of social and
Christian life, the Church stands in
need Of press that is ready to ex.
plode the fallacies of infidelity and to
bring into high relief the splendor of
Christian truth. The Catholic press
in America, in most cases at least, Ia
presided over by men of ability and
learning, many of courage and Christ.

Judge Vinson Carter OF the Superior

reminiscent. He was wounded during
the civil war and he carries the effec'
