The intercession of Jesus Christ is uDiona OIL
totally different from the mediatorship Of tb
saints, his followers He Is the one mediator ot
justice i'll virture of his redemption, according 70
the Apostle: "There is mediator Of God and
men-the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a re.
demptiOn for all" q Tim. ii, 5. g.. The mediation
of the just upon earth and the saints I'm heaven
is not of justice but of grace, and etcacious only
in union with his mediation.
There is no possibility of disunion between
Christ the head of the mystical body. and the
saints as members thereof. Their mediation thore-
fore, being III true sense his own, by no means
derogates from his honor and glory, but, ON the
contrary, rebounds thereunto.
The early Church understood this doctrine wei
as we can read on every page of the early Fathers
The veneration of the saints and martyrs was uni
versa countless miracles of their intercession are
recorded, and the love of the early Christians

Thomas Livius, "The Blessed Virgin in the FatI-
ers" chs. vii, viii, PIP. 27S ct seqD St. Ignatius
the second century, writes to the Iralllans: Ny
spirit be your explatiOn, not now only but when I
shall have attained to God" (13) St Cypran, In
the third century writing to Pope Cornelius, says
'If one of us SHALL by the speediness of the divine
dspensatiOn depart hence the first, let our love
continue in the presence of the Lord let not our
prayer for our brethren and sisters cease in the
presence of the mercy of the Father" (Ep. ad Cor

The principle of intercession presents no diff
fculty in things human; why, then, in things d
vine? If I desire favor of President Roosevelt,
may ask him directly, do indirectly through
some of his personal friends. VIII he take it as
an insult if I approach him indirectly! The re-
quest must come ultimately to him. So In the SUI
pernatural order If 1 desire favor of God.
may ask him directly if 1 choose, indirectly
through his friends, the saints of God, as we are
taught by the Scriptures and all Christian an
tiquity The request must ultimately come to God,
who alone can grant it. How absurd to think him
insuIted if his loved ones add their prayers to
ours.
The saints microscopy power by no means I'M
plies omnipotence, for they have no power Of
themselves to grant us what we ask, but merely
plead to God on our behalf.

f. In the Jewish synagogue the services were
conducted In Hebrew after 1t had ceased TO
be the language of the people, who lost 1t at the
time of the Captivity (II Esdras vii, l3). And
so in the east today the Melchites say mass IN
Greek and the Syrians in Syriac although Arabic
is the language of the people.
Indeed there is no reason for fault-fnding, for
remember that in those parts of the service that we
have in common with Protestants, namely, preach
ing, public prayers and hymn singing, we use the
language of the people. But the mass with us IS
more of an action than a prayer-an act OF sacrl-
flee which the priest offers up the of Christ
for the people.
The people are therefore, perfectly free to fol-
low their own special devotion in the manner of
hearing mass, either meditatng on the passion and
death of Jesus Christ, OF, il they desire fol
lowing the prayers of the liturgy in the transla-
tions to be found in their prayer books. 1t would
indeed be practically impossible IN some OF our
large churches for the priest to be understood even
if he did celebrate III English, and as mat
ter of fact the liturgica laws of the Church com
mand that certain prayers be read, for sake of
reverence, in a very low voices There is more
necessity for the people of our day understanding
what the priest says than of old when Jewish
priests prayed alone in the tabernacle at the hour
of sacrifice Ouke i, 8, 10).
have frequently wondered why so many other
wise well informed non-Catholics imagined that we
preached in Latin to our congregations. Aside
from ignorance arising from deliberate calumny in
the past, know of no way to account for this
save that some Protestants attending a Catholic
burial service have mistaken the Latin liturgical
prayers read by the priest the body of the
deceased for a sermon to the people.
Why do you give honor to the saints when it all
belongs to God?
why do Catholics worship and adore the saints?
Catholics do not adore the saints; they adore
God alone They venerate and love the saints as
special friends of Jesus Christ. Just the State

Why do you carry on your services in tongue not
known by the people? Why not say mass IN the IAN
guage of the congregation?
Why do priests preach in Latin? Why do you de-
liver sermons in Latin? Is it to keep the people In
ignorance?
Sermons are never preached to the people in
Latin but always In their own tongue. As to the
words of the mass and other official services, we do
not consider the use of the Latin language essen
tial for in the east the use of the vernacular IS
permitted. The Latin language, however, Is the
official language of the Catholic church IN her
liturgy, councils, etc, for many reasons:
l. Historically, it bears witness to the origin of
he faith of western Christendom Rome the con-
Verter of the nations-for instance, France, Bel
Zium Spain Portugal, England, Ireland, Scotland,
Germany, Hungary, Poland. The Catholic church,
founded by Jesus Christ, when the Roman empire
vas supreme naturally adopted in her liturgy the
language of the people, and her missionaries kept
he language of Rome in the divine service even
when they had to preach in the vernacular. Pro
estant churches, born in modern times, adopted as
4 consequence the modern languages.
g Again Latin being dead language, IS free
from those changes inevitable to modern tongues.
In these latter, words are continually becoming OBJ
solete. and so change in meaning as to become I'M
Ineligible and ridiculous to the ears of succeed
nc generations Latin. therefore, preserves the
dignity of the liturgy and the perfect exactness of
he dogmatic DEGREES of councils, so necessary IN

universal language. 1t is the same principle that
made business men some years ago endeavor to
establish Nolupuk as a common means or com
munication, or medical of late discuss the
Rdyisability of adopting some common language IN
heir congresses Did any one ever object, for ex-
ample to French as the language of diplomacy?
Latin allows the Catholic people to feel at home
everywhere in the universal bond of common Ian
gIage at their Sunday mass and enables the Cath

Bought a Stolen Horse.

Kinkaid & Johnson were taken down
the line at merry gait by horse thief
last Friday. A young blood by the
name of Ben Highfeld stole a mare at
Lambert, Oklahoma and passed
through this city, stopping for feed at
Kinkaid & Johnson's livery barn. He
struck the prorrietors for a trade and
bargain was finally made by which the
stranger was to receive $40 in cash and
pony for his mare. IU happened tha.
the pony that went in on the deal had
to make long drive that day, and the
stranger proposed to take $25 and re.
turn on Sunday for SIS and the pony.
which was readily agreed upon by Kin
kaid and Johnson. That was the last
seen of HighfeId.
On Sunday morning Sheriff Haun got
a card describing the stolen mare and
the thief, and he at once located the
mare at the livery barn and telephoned
to the owner, w d. Harkins. r.Hark
ins and G. j. Crilly, the latter a special
deputy sheriff at Ingersoll, arrived Sun
day night and at once identified the
mare. Highfeld, the man who stole
the mare. is Harkins' brother-in law.
Since the officers have investigated
they have learned that HigLield left
here Friday night for Attica and from
there went south. He ia married man
and persuaded young girl to run away
with him. He is about six feet tall, %
years old, light complexion, we'll built
and slightly raw boned. Both he and
the girl were shabbily dressed.
Sheriff Haun talked with Sheriff Oates
of Woods county over the phone yes
terday. Mr.. Oates thinks he has the
couple located.

CITY AFFAIRS.
Old Officers Re-appointed. Occupation
Tax Knocked Out.

The Mayor and Council had an in
teresting session Monday night. The ap.
pointment Of officers created no special
interest but the questions of an occu-
patton tax and billiard halls brought
forth much discussion. The petition to
suppress the billiard halls, spoken of
elsewhere, was presented by committee
consisting of Revs. l.. M. Belden, j. J..
Griffin and Patterson and l.. Z.
Williams and A. d. Shaw. The mayor
and counciltold them that the matter
would be laid over until the next
meeting and they departed. Later in
the evening it was decided by vote of
three to two, to permit the halls to run.
Councilmen Hall and VanNess voted
to suppress them. An ordinance was
passed prohibiting the erection OF
frame buildings within the fire limits on
Main street. This will compel Messrs.
Shannon and Brewer to build brick
buildings it they build at all, and it
may resultin suppressing them after
Gll.
The occupation tax was discussed
very thoroughly and it was unanimous
ly agreed to dropit. Taxes are almost
out OF reach Of most of us now and to
add an occupation tax would be an
imposition. The feasibility OF monthly
fines was discussed but the administra-
tlon is not in mood to adopt this
plan.
The following officers were appoint
ed:
Marshal, street commissioner. water
works superintendenta andpound master,
s. 2. Garrison.
Superintendent OF pumping station
and ditch superintendent, VIM. Axtell.
Clerk. Geo. w. Horney.
Treasurer, Walter Cushenbery.
City attorney, j, n. Tincher.
Another meeting was held last night
to appoint the. usual committees and
perhaps to transact some business in
executive session.

A BELATED BLIZZARD.
The Elements Played Havoc with Fruit
and Vegetation.

Last Wednesday the entire west was
swept by cold wave and much dam
age was done, though not as much as at
first feared. The storm was not very bad
when it started, but along about Wed.
nesday evening the wind was high and
the rain changed TO hail, sleet and snow
and during the night 1t froze sufficient.
ly to produce ice a half inch thick in
still water. The thermometer Thursday
morning was reported as low as 26.
People differ as to the amount OF
damage done to fruit. Some say it Is
greatly injured while others say it is
slightly hurt. Corn. potatoes and other
vegetation was withered to the ground
but most of it will grow again. Many
garden vegetables are destroyed.
With all the disasters OF the storm,
however, the magnificent rain was a
blessing. It has saved much wheat and
again instiiled new life in the farmers,
so tn damage done by the freeze is
small in comparison.

To F0reStaIl Billiard Halls.

A petition was drawn up, circulated
and freely signed the latter part of last
and the fore part of this week, asking
the mayor and council to abolish bill
lard halls hereafter and to give notice
to Messrs. Brewer and Shannon who
are preparing to build new buildings to
take the place of the old ones recently
destroyed by fire, that they will not be
permitted to conduct the business.
The petition was presented to the
mayor and council on Monday night,
and they decided that it would not be
right to shut out the ppol and billiard
halls and permit other business houses
to run. The petition was rejected by a
vote of three to two. Councilmen
Ewalt, Dobbs and Clay voted against
the petition and Councilmen Hall and
VanNess voted for it.

Assault and Battery.

Frank Lockert was arrested at Sun
City for committing an assault on the
person Of Louis Blssantz last Satur-
day. He was fined $40 and costs but
at first refused to pay. Sheriff Haun
was sent for to take charge of Lock-
ert and he deputizsd Cainie Farmer to
go after him. When he got there
Lockert had squared up dollar for dol
lar.
The trouble arose while Lockert was
at work on the Baptist church founda-
tion at Sun City. We understand from
reports that Lockert claimed that Mr..
BissantZ was standing In his way and
he kicked him with violence. Rather
expensive athletics.
