does not allow his dogma to blind him
to his duties in things social and char
table, and he deems him bigot who
does SO allow.
The bigot mistakes his bigotry for
Christian courage; he boasts of being
religious in season and out of season,
as he certainly is, but not in the sense
intended by the Apostle. True Chris
tian courage consists among other
things of always allowing our light
to shine before men. While to exer-
else religious principles on undue
matter is bigotry, we must not go
to the opposite extreme and hide our
faith or shuttle with our Catholic
teachings. The Good Samaritan was
none the less n Samaritan for doing
his excellent work of charity; so like
wise a Catholic in no way compro-
misses his faith by being active for
good among all, irrespective Of creed;
even as he pours in oil and wine to
the wounds of his non-C Catholic neigh
Dor lie neither hides nor denies his
Catholicity. And it is in such acts
that the Catholic manifests his true
courage.
The rule for the Catholic is never
hide your religion, but do not exer-
else it on false principles or on undue
matter. AS Catholics and their reli-
gion become better known bigotry
wanes; bigotry is thing that loves
the darkness and cannot survive the
light. With Catholicism triumphant
the word would have to do service
in things purely secular or. which is
far more likely, sink into oblivion
This paper may fifty close with an
incident which has just come under
my notice. A Protestant lady unwit-
tingly engaged the services of a Cath
Ole dressmaker; in the course of con-
versation the lady observed that the
only people she could not bear to
know or to converse with We're the
Catholics. That was bigotry. After
some further talk on the lady's part
the dressmaker told her that she had
been actually conversing with a Cath
olic-namely, herself. That was
Christian courage. The lady was sur
prised and apologize. She redoubled
her order and procured other CUSTOM

There is difference in the way
they do things in Kentucky and in
Ohio, as shown. i'm recent incidents in
the United States senate. When
Senator Blackburn sent 10 the
clerks desk in the senate the ere
dentials of Senator-elect McCreary
the clerk unfoIded a commonplace
document written with typewriter
upon ordinary paper. y moment
later Senator Hanna submitted the
credentials of Senator Foraker for
the term To which he has been elect
ed To succeed himself, and they were
like unto the glory of Solomon.
Senator Hanna took the handsome
document over TO Senator Foraker
To show il TO him. II was incased in
Il portfolio of morocco leather. the
latter bearing an inscription in heavy
gold letters. IL was fastened on
three sides with an abundance of red
silk, tied in flowing bows. Senator
Hanna and Senator Lodge spent sew
eral minutes undoing the wealth of
silk ribbon. When the portfolio was
unfastened ii revealed large sheet
of parchment. to which was attached
a large gold seal. fastened with light
blue ribbon, and with the writing
done in heavy German text by an ar
tistic penman. In order To catch the
presiding officers eye. Mr.. Hanna
held up the parchment and.its gor-
geous beauty made all the senators
smile. But it did not count for any
more than the plain document from
Il fn a1 rio

The force of the contrast is found
old time simple American dignity;
the other for the lavish display of
pomp that is characteristic of today.
In any case the people pay the bill.
