The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1903-01-10
Concerning Church Funds.

A matter that is being discussed with
tors is, Am 1 justified in spending
the church funds in order to dis
tribute literature among the people,"
At first blush one would think that
there could hardly be any hesitation
in solving so primary difficulty, but
at a gathering of priests recently it
was holly discussed pro and con.
1t was contended that, as trustee of
the church funds, a pastor has no right
to spend except whatever be neces-
sary for the running of a material
plant for church purposes. He argued
that the bishops directions in sending
him TO take charge was ito pay the
debt and look out for the church prop
erty,' and he made his point so well
that he almost persuaded the rest. The
larger view of a priests mission to
his people, however, prevailed. Pri-
marily his duty was to the souls of
his flock. The brick and mortar church
was for the souls of the people and
anything that contributed to the recla-
nation and elevation of souls not only
belongs to the privileges of a pastor
but was part of his duty. There
fore, said this latter contestant, 81 have
spent more during the past year in
distributing books, ETC., among my peo-
pie than 1 have in any other way. L
consider that this expense account is
far more necessary than one for altar
fixtures or for church windows. There
is Catholic paper mailed regularly
to every family in the parish and I
pay for it out of the church funds. 1
find since 1 adopted this practice there
is a better feeling toward church
things, and I have all can do in in
converts Later on inquiry
was made about this priests parish
and it was found that thirty-two con-
verts were received during the past
year and the non Catholic people were
very well disposed toward him. mas
much as he carried this same enlight-
cred policy into all his dealings with
Catholics and non-Catholics alike, he
is practically the strongest force for
good in the town in which he lives
This matter may be simple, but it is
a matter of profound interest in the
life of thoughtful pas
tor.

Rev. p. hobbs, a Baptist minister,
writing to the organ of his church, the
Waterman, asks:
Gould the early settler in Boston
have dreamed of a day when the
churches of the Puritans would be ut
terly outnumbered by the churches of
Rome, whom his soul abhorred? Could
DR.. Bentley of Salem have imagined,
when he offered TO act as pastor to the
few Catholics then to be found there.
that the time would come when the
Catholics would outnumber the men,
bership Of the Puritan churches nearly
fifteen to one, and outnumber Protest
ants of all sorts put together three to
one?"
There is no effect without a cause.
The great increase in the Catholic
population is the result of two
causes: First, their church teaches
truth, and sooner or later, when
old prejudices die out, truth is
bound to triumph. Secondly, she
preserves the family at any cost.
viii not allow her children to be di-
vorced, or indulge in the abominable
and unnatural crime which limits the
family circle. She strictly adheres to
the divine command, Increase and
multiply"
Within her broad folds there is room
for all classes, rich and poor learned
and unlearned. She knows no distinc-
ton, has the same code of morality
for the colored natives of South Africa
that she has for pale-faced Europeans.
Speaking of the bright future in store
for the church in the present century.

Of strength, vitality and progress:

and the precarious tenure of the ag-
Mysticism which has succeeded it. Q

against 1913 in 1901. This great per-
centage of increase is a menace to
good government, and, needless to
add, tends to undermine the social or
der and give gloomy forebodings of the
future.
The number of suicides last year was
S,245, an increase of 1000 over that of
1901. OF this large number there were
SO99 females, which is the largest in
crease of all the criminal statistics.
To disappointed love and domestic in
felicity is attributed the large in
crease.
Those who were sentenced and exc
cuted according to law numbered 144.
In 1901 there were rs public execu-
TONS
The lynching record in the southern
states last year showed a decrease of
twenty-one over the preceding year. In
the northern states nine were lynched.
Apart from the number lynched in
the south, and which has not been yet
published, the total number of Grim
maj uedlHS, lHCluulAS pupliC cACSu-
tions, for the past year, is 1880. This
record would figure lao of l per cent
in a population of 100000, or one
person in every 1000. 1t shows that the
moral sentiment or religious feeling is
on the decay. The census of 1900 showed
that churchgoers were on the decrease
every year in proportion to the ratio
of increase of the population. This
decrease does not mean any opposition
to religion, but shows total indiffer-
ence to its teaching. The statistics for
the past year sound note of warn
ing to every lover of his country. 1t
can be stopped only by sound moral
teaching for the youth of our coun-

CATHOLIC OPINION

The Catholic press OF the country is
having much to say of flattering nature
| regarding the statue which the knights
OF rather Mathew propose to erect in
Forest Park as memorial to the great
temperance advocate from WHOM they
take their name. 1t seems to be the
unanimous opinion that this tribute
should be paid Father Mathew in the cit,,
where his followers are so strongly
banded together Some of the papers that
nave commented upon the project are
prophsying that a bright page in the book
OF temperance will be turned on the day
of the unwilling of the statue.

OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT.

Editor Intermountain Catholic:
My Dear Sir-Replying to your favor
asking my approval of The lntermountalu
Catholic since its establishment in this
diocese, ] will state that l consider the
founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lake
not the least of the many blessings be-.
slowed by Providence on the Church here
huring the past two years. Its birth oc-'
rurred at an opportune time. Its zeal in
propagating Catholic truth has had,
since its inception, my hearty though
silent approval. j believe with Our Holy
Father that "a good Catholic journal is
perpetual mission in a parish and that
II VIII serve as a question box, at all
times, for anxious inquirers. In my Wis
itations ! shall hope to find The Inter
mountain Catholic in the homes of every
Catholic family. Its mission is to es-
pouse truth, justice and morality, and all
devoted priests will find in it an able co
operator in their missionary work. 1t Is
my wish that all my priests and the laity
entrusted to my charge should encourage
your noble effort and that of the gen
erous founder of The Intermountain
Catholic. Yours sincerely.
/. SCANLAN,
Bishop of Salt Lake.

Record of Crime in 1902.

FHE criminal statistics published
every year give a key to the
moral and religious feelings of
the country. They point an object les
son, which may direct one in measur-
ing the tendencies of the age and
country in which they live.
Unfortunately this record has been
on the increase each year. It cannot
be attributed to hard times, as the
country was never more prosperous.
The figures published each year are
alarming. In 1901 the number of
homicides was 1859. Last year ex-
ceeded that number by an even 1000,
making the number of homicides in
1902. $751; This increase is far more
than the ratio of increase in. our popu-
lation. Another notable increase in
last years criminal record was that
of the lawless element which infests
every large city. Last year murders
by desperadoes numbered 1913, as
