Reckless Extrayaganee.

The Ladies' Catholic Benevolent
association, which has just held it,
triennial convention in st. Paul, MIMI,
is being severely criticized on the score
Of extravaganza and mismanagement,
says the Catholic Columbian.
At it's previous meeting it raised the
salary of it's supreme president to the
unnecessarily large sum Of $4,000 q
year, when a dozen equally competent
women would have been willing to
serve for half that sum. At the same
time it increased the salaries of its
other officials.
Now it has given the printing of the
Fraternal Leader, not to the lowest
responsible bidder, but to member
of the supreme council, at a price
that in the next three years will en-
tail on the association an unnecessary
expense Of $4,000.
1t has selected far-away Denver as
the place for it's next convention,
raised the per diem Of delegates from
$3.50 to So per day, refused to reduce
the representation, and has thus de-
creed that the gathering in 1907 shall
cost about 100000.
After increasing it's insurance rates
in 1901, on a pledge that they would
then be sufficient for ten years, it
has again raised them, but once more
inadequately, and soon the association
will have to face another crisis.

ROBBERY OF THE CHURCH.

We see it stated over and over
again that the French government
pays yearly to the Catholic church in
France large sum Of money in re-
turn for which the church allows the
state to nominate the bishops. A little
study of the times and events which
led up to the Concordat would dispel
the misunderstanding which seems to
be general. The church is not debt
or in any way to France. 1t is true
the French government does make a
certain provision for maintenance of
the church, but that provision is but
n small amount of what France owes
to the church. During the Revolution
there was wholesale confiscation of
church property. When Napoleon was
trying in the early days Of the last
century to establish law and order in
France after the deluge Of the Revolu-
ton he agreed to pay to the church a
certain yearly amount as reparat ton
in part for the property which had
been taken from the church. The
provision made was but small year
~ interest upon the property stolen

ARmAen.s CATHEDRAL,

The recent conservation Of st. Pat
rick's cathedral in the ancient city of
Armagh, Ireland, was one Of the most
notable events that ever occurred in
that country. 1t was celebration of
triumph in which the whole country
took part. Armagh: is the primatial
see of Ireland. Its first primate was
st. Patrick. Its bishops reach back
through an unbroken dynasty to dis
tant ages. Cardinal Logue is the
Tooth primate who has sat in the chair
of st. Patrick in ancient and venerable
Armagh. This long line of bishops
contains many illustrious names like
Patrick, Benen, CELSIUS, Benignas, Ma
lachi, Gelasins, Creagh, Plunkett and
Mcmahon. The celebration last
month was glimpse of what Armagh
was long centuries ago. 1t was St.
Patrick's sacred city. 1t was the CEN
ter of learning and authority in Ire
land. 1t was the place to which pill
grims came, who deemed themselves
fortunate if they died and were buried
in that city. 1t was here that the
greatest of the Irish kings who fell at
Clontarf ordered that his body should
be buried. The present magnificent
cathedral is not the first. Armagh
had in the glorious past cathedral,
but evil days came and the ancient
cathedral was plundered by the hand
of the oppressor and given over to all
alien creed and worship. Catholics
We're driven from Armagh and scat
tered over the world as We're the Jews
from Jerusalem. The completion of
the present edifice marks the victory
of the church over it's enemies. Amer
lea has contributed to the building of
this monument of Catholic devotion.
The work was commenced in 1910,
was interrupted by the great famine
and now, after many years Of labor,
stands and will stand for ages as an
enduring reminder of the intense devo-
ton of the Irish people to the ancient
faith.

Pow.r of Silence.

What strange power there is in
silence! How many resolutions are
formed, how many sublime conquests
effected, during that pause when the
lips are closed, and the soul secretly
feels the eye of her Master upon her!
When some of those cutting, sharp,
blighting words have been spoken
which send the hot, indignant blood
to the face and head, if those to whom
they are addressed keep silent, look
on with awe, for a mighty work is 60
ing ON within them then. During
that pause they have made step to-
ward heaven, and an item has been
scored which the day of Judgment
shall see opened. They are the strong
ones of the earth-those who know
how to keep silence when it is pain
or grief to them.

The Cardinals Story.

dent as having happened to himself:
Zone night 1 was returning to my
residence in Westminster when met
a poor man carrying basket and
smoking pipe. thought over this:

is thirsty desires to drink, he who
drinks too much gets drunk, he who
gets drunk endangers his SOUL This
man is in danger of mortal sin. Let

from the church. The church is under
no obligation to the French govern
ment. 1t is quite the fashion in
France to despoil the church when
ever the ruling power needs money
and has the inclination to steal. IN
der the cry that the Jesuits are work.
ing for the destruction of the govern
ment or that the monks are in the way
of the peoples progress, a system of
confiscation of church property is
commenced. This is profitable work
for the government and it's bene-
ficiaries are thus enabled to obtain
without price the accumulations Of
years. Instead of the church being
the beneficiary of the state, the state
is robber in possession of much that
belongs to the church. The stopping
of the yearly allowance to the bishops
and priests Of France would be but
the refusal of. that country longer to
pay even small interest ON the prop
erty that it has stolen. No one dis
putes that France has the power and
the present French government the in
clination to complete the pillage. But
even Combes and his confreres may
be compelled to stop and ask will it
pay. The state has much more to lose
than the church, by complete separa-
ton. The church can get along in
latter without cooperation from the
French government, but the great
Napoleon found it necessary to enlist
the aid Of the church in the struggle
to reorganize society after the desruc-
ton wrought by the Revolution.
When Combes has run his race and
plundered the church of it's property
the French government will again be
found trying to make terms with
Rome.

When all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose swan, lad,
And every lass queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
And round the world away:
Young blood must have it's course, lad,
And every dog his day.
When all the world is old, lad.
And all the trees are brown;
And all the sport is stale, lad,
And all the wheels run down:
Creep home, and take your place there,
The spent and maim'd among:
God grant you find one face there
You loved when all was young.
