Is Professionalism Dead (?

We find this in the editorial columns
Of our local contemporary, the Review,
says the Buffalo Catholic Union and
Times: ....
A Roman Catholic priest who
preached in st. Patrick's cathedral,
New York, on Easter Day, declared
that Professionalism is dead" Perhaps
the replies he will get to this assertion
may convince him that it is pretty
live corpse.
The Roman Catholic priest who
made this pulpit declaration is the
well-known Jesuit, Father Pardow,
who has been heard more than once in
Buffalo. The statement with which
he is credited is not new, and should
not be startling to the thoughtful
analytical mind.
When the cardinal principle of Prot
estantism was first proclaimed more
than three hundred years ago, men Of
meditative thought saw therein the
seeds Of disintegration, which is an
other name for death.

the practical capacity Of the applicant
The record of previous service Of the
applicant will be considered a part Of
the examination. At the end of each
examination the board will certify to
the war department it's judgment as
to the fitness Of the applicant, stating
the office which it deems him qualified
to FILL and upon approal by the Pres-
to will be inscribed in register kept
in the war department for that pur-
pose.
The persons so certified and regis
tered will, subject to physical exam
inaton at the time, constitute an elig-
ible class for commissions in any
volunteer force herafter called for and
organized under the authority of Con-
gress, other than a force composed of
the organized militia. The President
may authorize persons from this class
to attend and pursue regular course
Of study at any military school or col
lege of the United States other than
the military academy at West Point,
and to receive from the appropriations
for the support of the army the same
allowance and commutation as pro-
vided for officers of the organized mill
tia.
No person will be commissioned a
second lieutenant after he has passed
the age of 30, or first lieutenant after
35, or captain after 40, or major after
45, or lieutenant colonel after SO, or
colonel after IS. These appointments
will be distributed proportionately
among the various states contributing
the volunteer force. They will not in
clude appointment to any Office in any
company, troop, battery, battalion, Or
regiment, or the organized militia
which volunteers as a body, or the
officers of which are appointed by the
governor of state.
It will be seen that ample provisions
have been made by Congress for train
ing vast and efficient army which
can be called upon in any emergency
and which can be trained at compare
lively little expense to the government.

Division No. 2, Al oh. Seattle.

On Tuesday night in the hall con-
nected with the church Of Our Lady Of
Good Help, n second branch Of the A.
0. III. was instituted by national Or
ganizer, Edmund I. Shcchan, says the
Catholic Progress Of Seattle. Pursu-
ant to notices sent out to the leading
sons of Erin of Seattle, about seventy
responded and for fully two hours lis
tened to the able addresses by Rt. Rev.
Bishop O'Dca, Mr.. Shechan and others.
Bishop O'Dca lauded the Irish and
championed their cause. He believed
in keeping active the interest which
all Irishmen should have in their faith
erland Affiliation with organizations
like the A. o. FL. tended to make men
better in every way, but particularly
beneficial in developing manhood and
preserving and defending the faith Of
their fathers. He was frequently in
terrupted with applause and there
was no mistaking his attitude on the
matter under discussion.
This auspicious beginning points to
a rapid growth Of the order in this
community. The following officers
were elected: president, James IT,.
Lawler; vice president, ]. ]. Donnel-
Ian; rec. secretary, II. II. Comerford;
fin. Sec, Joseph McArdle; treas, s. ".
Carey. The first regular meeting will
be held Tuesday evening, April 21.

What is that principle which the SO.

What is that principle which the So
called "reformers' made the chief and
dominant plank in the platform of
their religious revolution? Simply
that the Bible and the Bible alone, in
terpreted by each individual to suit
his fancy, should he the only rule of
faith.
1t surely does not require much
learning or profound thought to divine
the logical results of such principle
when pushed to it's last analysis. In
stead Of being center Of unity, it has
proved to be an apple of discord; for,
armed with such a guiding principle,
which was to be the source and center
Of all religious belief, there was moth
ing to prevent any lunatic from con-
sidering himself inspired, and, with
Bible in hand, proclaiming a new re-
ligion in the name of Christ.
The impartial observer will readily
see, therefore, the origin and source
of all the contrary and contra dictory
'isms' that so abound; all appealing
for authority to the Protestant prin-
ciple-the Bible and the Bible alone
interpreted by each individual to suit
his own views.
Martin Luther, the arch Performer"
himself, lived long enough to witness
90
that so confused and brought into rdi-
cule Christian belief in his day. In
his rage he turned upon them all, with
characteristic fury, fiercely declaring
that the unclaimed devil had taken
possession Of their minds.
But Luther had sown the wind, and
he was doomed to reap the whirlwind.
His erstwhile followers were only ap-
plying the Protestant principle; and
If they interpreted the Bible different
ly from their quondam master, had
they not the right to do SO and pro-
claim a new "ism" for themselves?
The Review thinks that Protestant
ism "fs a pretty lively corpse" We
have often declared in these columns
that, strictly speaking there is no
such thing as Professionalism in this
country to-day. Professionalism is pure
ly negative term; there is nothing
positive about it. Any number Of men
may accordingly be found holding the
most ontradictory religious tencts,
and they are all "Protestants," for
sooth.
Professionalism to-day has dwindled
down to Believe-as-you-pleaseism
and this applies to the pulpit as well
as to the pews. The whole thing is
honeycombed with agnosticism, which
is another name for infidelity.
Would Luther, Calvin and the other
"reformers' recognize the protestant
ism" Of today, if they were permitted
to revisit the glimpses Of the moon?
How they would stigmatize the Gin
fidels' with fiery wrath!
OF course, there are many good,
pious, God-fearing souls that 20 by
the name of Protestants. But they
are good and pious and God-fearing,
not because Of skeleton Professionalism,
but in spite of it.
AS for Professionalism being "a pref
ty lively corpse" really the only signs
Of life discernible about it are the
devouring maggots of infidelity.

An Indians Thanks.

T. NJ. Burlington, principal chief OF
the Cherokee Nation, when he issued
his Thanksgiving proclamation began
it this way:
Let us again commemorate the Gus
tom of our forefathers, which pre-
vailed since time immemorial, and
adopted by the Pilgrims and their
descendants, by celebrating day de-
voted to festivity and praise for the
goodness of the Great Spirit, after the
Joys and sorrows of another year, and
harvests have been gathered"
Some may be disposed to think the
chief has assumed overmuch when he
claims for his people precedence in
giving thanks once a year, but he Is
really correct. The Green Corn
Dance" of the Indians which was an
nually celebrated when the corn was
ready for food, IVES the occasion OF a
much more ceremonious rejoicing than
is usual among the whites on Thanks
giving Day. 1t was the Indians man
ner of showing their gratitude To the
Great Spirit for the blessings OF their
grain and they made it one OF the
greatest and most memorable of their
annual ceremonies. Montgomery

steady tap-tap of a woodpecker. The
oneliness oppressed Milly strangely.
For two years she had endured it IN

rough little shack which had gradually

Suddenly Milly's ear caught the

come from the Hollow beyond the di-

sasily through the leafiess thicket,
walking briskly over the hill and
down the opposite descent until she

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual end intel
lectual needs of the charges committed to
their care. but they also minister to their
bodily needs.
With SO many children TO take care of

these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DIR. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United

Dr. 5. Is. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir-"The young girl who used

Milly soberly, looking over at the
