WHY THE CHURCH USES LATIN.

Why does the church use the Latin language!
For these reasons:
l. Because a universal community requires a
universal language. The church of Christ is uni
yersal. -~,
. Because it does not change. If. for ex-
ample, the church should use French in one of
her formulas alone, that f-baptism, she would have
been obliged to change it over sixty times In the
so-calIcd Anglo-Saxon of 1000 years ago she could
not be understood except by experts.
3. Because nothing equal the dignity of
the Latin language its clearness or its beauty.
1t is the language of science and civilization, and
deserves to be the language of an Interchangeable
religion.
4. Because it lifts the liturgy of the church
above the everyday usage of words, which alters
their sense and debases it by RIGHTEOUSNESS This
misfortune has actually befaIlen the English Ii
turgy Of the Anglo-American Episcopalians.
5. Finally, universal language speaks of a
universal brotherhood and makes a Catholic at
home in all Roman Catholic churches of the world.
Besides, he understands the language though I'M
learned, by the ceremonies of the church, or from
his prayer book, which contains its entire mean
ing in his own tongue.

ANEcDoTE OF PHILIP BROOKS.

The devotion of Catholics to their clergy and
to their religion generally is source of never
ending wonder to the Proestants. The sacrifices
people in the United States have made and
making to build up parochial school system
is good instance of this 1t is an incontestabe
argument for the power Of the true faith and its
ability TO inculcate holiness in life. Philip Brooks,
the late Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts, when
rector of a church in Philadelphia often remarked
to his curate at breakfast that it was wonderful
to peep out of ones window on bleak winters
morning and seee crowds of Catholics trooping to
church at 80 a. IN. a holy day of obligation.
Suppose" he would say you and I were to an
nounce to our people next Sunday that on the
Wednesday following there would be special serv-
ices at 4:30 a. m. How many think you. would
we find present." And then Brooks countenance
would cloud over and, growing thoughtful, he
would say: "a wonderful institution. surely;
wonderful institution" The curate in question is
now Catholic priest
