EATING FLESH MEAT ON FRIDAY

Good will not damn me simply for eating
piece of meat. Flesh meat is not worse on Friday
than on Thursday"
This assertion is often made to excuse or to
justify the violation of the law which commands
abstinence from flesh meat on Friday. Those who
make this assertion right. 1t is not the meat
that damns people. In itself, the eating of flesh
meat is not more insful on one day than on an
other.
That which damns people is the dsobedience
which leads them to eat the meat. That which is
sinful on Friday is the violation of law which
was enacted only for Friday not for the other days
of the week. That which damns people is rebel
lion against the legitimate authority of the pas
tors of the Church, whom all are bound to obey
as they to obey Him who sent them, saying: HE
who hears you, hears Me- he who despises you des
pises me-"
1t is not then question of meat, nor Of days,
nor of appetite; it is question of disobedient
spirit which sins III refusing to obey command
ment which it is easy to observe. Aside from the
fact that all the laws of the Church should be
obeyed because they have beeen imposed upon Cath
olics BY legitimate authority. it must not be for
gotten that the laws of the Church have not beeen
enacted by accident or through caprice, but on
count of very grave reasons and for salutary pur-
poses.
The law of abstinence which is to be observed
once every week. was enacted for the purpose of
continually remining people of the Passion, the
necessity of doing penaHce for sin. The observance
of this law is a public penapcc which Christians
practice Only the superficial or ignorant can re-
gard the law of abstinence as useless. People well
know that the self-denial practiced-on Fridays is
an occasion which leads them to think seriously
of religious subjects, especially OF their sins, and
of the means of atoning for them.
Although the laws of the Church bind under
pain of mortal sin they not harsh nor unreason-
able The Church is a mother not imperious
tyrant. Any legitimate and serious reason will dis
pense from the law of abstinence whenever people
find it difficult to observe it. The object of the law
is to benefit people. not to injure them to enable
people to eXpiate their SINS NOT to make people
sick. Sickness, bodily weakness, extreme poverty,
great difficulty in procuring abstinence food will
dispense from the observance of this law 1t is best
always to obtain the opinion of the pastor con
fessor as to the sufciency of the reasons for dis
pensing; for otherwise there is danger of people
being too induigent with themselves
As the Church always shows wisdom and mod
Grafton in the enforcement OF her laws, people
should on this account be all the ready to obey
them. They should permit those who do not I'M
derstand the laws Of the Church to laugh at them,
and those TO murmur against their observance who
fail TO see how easy it IS to obey the law of the
Church how wise her purpose IS and how bene-
fetal it is to souls in their observance.-Mgr. De
Segur in lie Propagateur.

BANNS OF MARRIAGE.

The custom Of publishing the banns of mar
riage dates back to the primitive Church, for Ter
tulan, who died A. d. $40, states that warning of
intended marriages was given among the early
Christians.
It appears that the publication Of banns was
habitual in many places long before there was any
general law on the subject since Gregory " Obs
1910. speaks of the banns (from Latin bannum,
proclamation; Anglo-Saxon ban) being given out
in the Church, according to custom. The practice
was introduced into France about the ninth cen
fury and in 1176 was enforced in the Diocese of
Paris.
The earliest enactment on the subject in Eng
land was order made in the Synod of West
Minister in 1900 to the effect that no marriage
should be celebrated till the banns had been pub
lshed in the church on three separate Sundays or
feast days. This rule was made obligatory through
our the Church by the fourth Lateran Council held
in Rome in 1915. By act of Parliament banns must
now be given out in England on three Sundays.

HUMAN RESPECT AND "BROADMINDED

How contemplate is the Catholic, who knowing
there is but one church and one divnely ordained
worship betrays his trust and misleads the souls
that look to him for example-all for human res
pect, or for some feeting social gain, which Is IN
variably companioned by the contempt OF those
whom he has been fain to conclllate.
Less than year ago, distinguished Cathohc
Lord Denbgh, came to this country in command
of the Ancient Honorable Artillery Of London. His
wife accompanied him, and on the voyage, observ-
ant people noted their daily visits to the Storage
They went thither not to stare at the poor toilers
and force on the minds of these latter, unhappy
social contrasts, but only to join with the Catholics
in that part of the steamer in the recitation of the
Rosary.
On their arrival in Boston, they heard Mass on
their first Sunday in the Cathedral, and paid their
respects to the Most Reverend Archbishop. In the
afternoon, Lord Denhighs command were invited
to special service at Trinity Church, the Protes-
tant Episcopal Cathedral very natural courtesy
on the part of the Protestant Bishop, as the Lon
don Ancient and Honorables, with the exception
of their commander, were probably all Anglicans
What was Lord Denhgh's course? Did he show
his observation-disclosures by taking no thought of
religious differences, and participating in the Pro
testant serviceI Did he seek reasons which might
justify him in being passive spectator of the
vice! No. He simply accompanied his command
TO the door of Trinity church, and there, resgnng
his charge for the time being, to the officer next
in rank, departed to fulfil social engagement in
keeping with the day.
We heard no accuse this brave soldier and
honorable gentleman of narrow mindedness
though we recall Catholic or two who thought
he was over strict. On the contrary, he and his
wife edited Catholic and non-Cathoc who came
into close relation with them by their fervent and
open practice of their religion.
Clearly. then it is not sign of breadth Of mind
to be unduly liberal in our construction of our

FRANCE ON THE DOWN GRADE.
(Irom the London Catholic Times.)

(Erom the London Catholic Times.)
The Pope is in an unassailablc position, because
the only way III which France can be saved is by
return of the people TO Christianity. We have be-
fore pamphlet which shows how indisputably
it is on the down grade. The pamphlet, which is
published by Bailliere, Tindal q Cox London, is
entitled THE Diminishing Birth Rate" and con
sists of the presidential address delivered before
the British genealogical society on Feb II last
by Professor John w. Taylor of Birmingham Uni
versity. Professor Taylor in addressing a warning
to England to check the abuses of so-caed modern
civilization points to what has been taking place
in France. There the deaths are as numerous as
the births, but though the population is stationary,
the criminaity has trebed itself in fifty years.
Amongst the young crime is assuming enormous
proportions and the acts of the youthful criminals
marked by an exaggerated ferocity, a special
refinement of lust and Dragging of vice. The sui
cides of folk under q years OF age number hun
dreds annually The ratio of suicides generally in
recent years has nearly doubled and the consump-
ton of alcohol has increased thrcefold in twenty
years. As Professor Taylor observes, with an in
creasingly limited population France shows more
and more lower and still falling moral average.
Its only hope in our opinion, lies in a revival of

The verses Of Maurice Francis Egan, which won
the prize in recent contest for the best poem con
demning the practice Of profane swearing are wor-

way Of comparison, to reproduce the following
verses from Watts Complete Spelling Book of
Colonial days. They are entitled, "Of Taking God $
Name in Vain:
To mention God, man has just pretence,
But to his honour or the truths defense
In common talk, where trifes most abound,

ELASTIC CONSCIENCE OF CATHOLICS.

Transferring The property to another party. backed
by a very high member of the hierarchy, he was
allowed the collections of all debts for subscrip-
tions and advertising. The total sum was $4,000
for subscription dues and So 700 for advertising.
lie collected the whole advertising list within
$780, and not dollar of the $4,000 for subscrip-

and circulars. | asked Catholic banker what ne
thought of that. He replied: apparently, the bust

How man with Catholic conscience can go on
reading paper he never pays for, even when the
debt long due, is politely required for settlement,
passes ordinary comprehension. The law is very
plain on this matter of stopping subscriptions.
That not single dollar was paid on $4,000 would
seem extraordinary indeed, and justifes what an
eminent jurist once told me-that order should
be established, like the Paulist to preach to some
Catholics as well as non Catholics.
