A NON-CATHOL1C MISSION.
Will open al St. Lawrence Church
SUNDAY Evening.

The development of Catholicism in
the Northwest has it's evidence in the
fact that whereas the Church was al
ways missionary in it's spirit, the work
of giving so-called Missions was per-
formed by the members of the diff
ferent religious orders in the Church.
Now, however, as in several Of the
Eastern Provinces. there has been in
augurated in the jurisdiction Of Arch
bishop Ireland Diocesan Mission
Band made up of the clergy Of the
diocese, who are detailed for the speci-
fic work Of giving Missions throughout
the territory to which they belong. A
mission is understood by Catholics to
he comprehensive explanation Of
Catholic belief and an appeal to those
who profess belief to put faith into
practice.

Influence of Reading.

Two hoys-samplcs of many more of
the same s0rt-wcrc arrested recently
for burglary. Their ages were thir-
teen and ten. They had desire to
live in big hotels and wear prison
stripes because they had read about
these things In dime novels, and Of
course they could not live high with
out money, and they could not wear
prison stripes without crime. Hence
the crimes to get moncy,-and prison
stripes when they were caught. Said
one of them: eve wanted to live in a
fine hotel, and as we had to have money
we thought we would just go out and
get it. That was the way they did
it in the Stories" One of the great
curses Of the day is the overwhelm-
ing tide Of dime novels. They all
partakc so much Of general badness In
character, influence, or leading, as to
be generally condcmnable. They pre-
sent unreal views of life which their
dcvotccs take as real, and so unfit
themselves by such education for life's
obligations and responsibilities. Let
parents guard the reading and associa-
lions of the children more than they
would their food and drink. Many
sons Of respectable parents have found
their way to reform schools and peni-
tentiarics from reading this kind Of
pcrnicious literature.

OH Friday night, Jan. 8, caused deep
sorrow to the many friends of the
deceased in Minneapolis and st. Paul

respected. He was in the prime of
life, being thirty years of age and
unmarried. In 1898, at the outbreak
of the Spanish-American war, he was
in Chicago and enlisted in the First
Illinois infantry. AS member of
that regiment he served in the Cuban
campaign and participated in the bat
tie of San Juan Hill. He came back
without scratch after making Il
splendid record for gallantry and spent
a few days with his brothers in this
city. He then returned to Chicago
and re-entered the service of Schlesin-
ger 4 Mayer in whose employment he
was as travelling agent at tho time of
his lann"nted death.

Strange at it may seem, Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for reck-
onlng time, but, as described by Cliff
ford Howard in the January st. Mich,
olaS, he turns his attention To some of
the regular steady-going stars, or
fixed stars as they are calleu. Every
clear night an astronomer with a big
telescope looks at certain of these stars
ana makes his calculations, from
which he can tell just when the sun
would cross the seventy-tifth meridian,
One of the great clocks in the observ-
atory is called the transmitter, because
it transmits or sends out the signal
that keeps standard time. This clock
is set and regulated by the star-time.
and then every day at three minutes
and fifteen seconds before twelve
switch is turned on, and the beats of
the pendulum Of this clock are sent
by electricity over the wires to the
telegraph offices in Washington and
New York. When the telegraph
operators hear this sound on their in
Strumcnts they know that the noon
signal is about to be sent out, and
they at once begin to connect the tele-
graph wires with other towns and cit
les. until in a minute or two the tick,
tick OF the clock at Washington is
heard i'll hundreds of telegraph offices.
The beats stop ut ten seconds before
twelve as notice that the next "tick''
will he the noon signal, and so as to
give the operators time to connect
their wires with the standard time
balls and clocks. There are time-balls

Of some prominent building, where
they can easily be seen. The one at
Washington is OH the roof of the State,

at the top Of high pole, ready to drop
the instant the signal comes over the
wire. In the government office Mt
Washington and in many places in
other cities there are large clocks con-
ncctcd with the observatory by cleo
tricity. These are so arranged that
when the IL o'clock signal is flashed
over the wires the hands Of each one

Papal Infallibillty.
Concord, N. H., Jan. IL.

At st. Lukc'S church, ST. Paul, where
the Paulist Fathers are giving the mis-
sion for non Catholics this week, Father
Conway spoke last Monday night on
"Papal Supremacy ana Infnllibility"
He took up in detail the various
scriptural grounds upon which is
claimed for ST. Peter the primacy
among the apostles, even before the
foundation of the Church itself. 10
the apostles equally, he said, were
given many powers such MS to
preach the gospel, to bnptize, and to
forgive sins but Peter alone was made
the rock upon which the Church was
founded, to be the key bearer "thc
confrmcr Of the brethren, the shepherd
Of the flock" 1t Is Peter who is al
ways named first in the gospels, and
he is the first teacher OF the gospel and
converter of the gentics. He settles
the first controversy Mt the council at
Jerusalem and to him st. Paul goes
on visit as to n superior. The tradi-
lions Of the early Church have been
in accordance with these scripturnl III
timations and up to the time of the Re-
formation the supremacy Of the success
sOrs Of Peter was recognized. The
mere fact that so many thousands
have always recognized it would be
an argument against usurpation.
Father Conway went on to explain
the doctrine Of infallibilty about
which he said many erroneous opin-
ions were current. The Pope, he ex-
planned, by the very dogma Of the
council wherein 1t was first promul-
gated, is only infallible, first when lie
speaks ex-cathctlrG, that is, as the
supreme teacher Of the universal
Church. He Is not infalliblc as n
private citizen, preacher, author, bisl-
op or theologian. Secondly, he is in
falliblc when he defines a doctrine;
thirdly, when he treats of faith or
morals; and fourthly, when he clearly
manifests an intention to bind the uni.
vcrsnl Church. And finally, Catholics
do not believe the Pope to be inspired,
which means direct revelation, but
only that he is assisted by the truth
Of God in his official teachings, and
lastly, infallibility has nothing to do
with the personal moral character Of
the Pope. He is liable to sin MS any
other man and must seek the same
means of pardOn-the sacrament of
pcnance. There is no connection be-
tween infallibilty and personal morals.
The address closed with an argument
for the doctrine OF infnllibility as
protection against the extravagances
and vagarlcs into which private judg-
mcnt, so called, is leading theological
thought
"Docs 1t not seem probable" said
Father Conway, chat If in these
United States the powers Of our re-
public were wise enough to establish
a supreme court to settle practically
and finally all disputes regarding the
constitution, in the church the All Wise
Son Of God, forcsceing and prophesy
ing that false teachers would arise
For there will arise false Christs and
false prophets Matt. xiii, 22), would
have provided supreme court to IN

TENDER and the places visited all testi-
fly to the efficiency of the men and
their methods.
A Mission by the diocesan band will
open at st. Lawrence Catholic Church,
Cor, Twelfth avenue and Seventh
street. S. e., tomorrow evening, Sun
day, Jan. Is, and will continue for ono
week with services ut and 8 a. m.
and 7:30 D. III.
The evening service is devoted par
ticularly to the answering of questions
from the Question Box at the door
and lectures on the principal doctrine =.
of the Church, while the morning
service is devoted to addresses Of a
moral character and to devotional en-
ercises
The Mission services both morning
and evening are not only open to every
body, but a most cordial invitation is
extended to all, whether members of
any church or none. The evening
lectures are especially intended to cor
rect some of the many innocent but
pernicious MISUNDERSTANDING that ara
abroad concerning the Church and
which she owes it both to herself and
to all sincere enquirers to explain. The
method Of treating these questions is
entirely objective, no controversy of
any kind being introduced. The Mis-
sion Fathers have received most ex-
plicit commentator for their care in
living UP to their guarantee that no
one will have the slightest reason for
objection to the manner in which they
approach each topic discussed.
That the age of controversy is hap
PLY passing away is very evident from
the large numbers who avail them
selves Of the opportunity of hearing
the Church in her own behalf and in
the mutual satisfaction expressed at
the close of these missions by all who
attend.
Special arrangements will be made to
seat all who may wish to assist at
this course of lectures and hearty
welcome is assured to all.
At the close of each lecture, literat-
ure explaining Catholic belief and
practice will be distributed freely to
all who express a desire for it.
The following subjects will be dis
cussed during the Mission:
Sunday 7:3O p. m. Christian Unity
