A Catholic View.

CatMOllc CltlZeil.J
Talking of saloons. the Catholic
priests and laymen have followed a
course that is creditable in having
nothing to do with the subway tavern
in New York, where Bishop Potter
raised a furious storm. The press OF
the city is almost a unit in condemn
Ing the bishops act, the exception be-
ing the New York Times, which gives
its approval. apparently because the
saloon is modelled after something that
is real English The fiercest satire,
ridicule and argument against the sal
Don comes from The Sun. which, eacn
day. in editorial and news departments
rips the enterprise up the back" as
the newspaper men say. Other papers
have performed similar services. The
Globe pulled hypocritical veil off thu
tavern by despatching reporter with
instructions to see how many drinks oil
whisky he could buy in succession In
the place and also observe the effects
OF using boisterous language. His re-
port indicted that he and two friends
bought and drank liquor until their
capacity was pretty well tested and no
attempt was made to eject them when
they used language which would not
be tolerated In some of the saloons
that make no pretense to any other
mission than to make money.
The common opinion seems to be
that even If there is any merit in the
Earl Grey saloons it were better to
have kept then, quite apart from the
endorsement Of churches or bishops.
The advice of the Baltimore council
that Catholics, as far as possible, get
out and keep cut of the saloon bust
ness. is quoted with approval by the
opponents of the "sanctif1ed saloon" as
the papers dub 1t.

well as the action of the retained at

many remarks by Butler county citi-

To sum 1t up. All Of this legal pro-

piling up sentiment in favor of

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
A CHURCH PROBLEM.
One Minister Reasons Why People Dc
Not Go To Church.


Not Go To Church.
Editor Times Republican.
Many reasons are given by differen,
persons why people do not attend
church. The real reason exists in th,,
attitude Of the church, the ministry
and laity, toward the non-church goes
and in the way they encourage them
to attend. 1t may be that some church
people will go SO far as to say, Come,
reason, as the non-church goer sees
it, why they are invited is because the
church needs them. The church does
need them, but the appeal coming from
that side apparently loses its power
to persuade.
The appeal of the church to the mons
church goer should be, you need the
church. Let us see.
The divine principle upon which the
church Is founded is love. The preach
ing and practice Of the doctrine of
love, as found in the Bible, by all the
ministers and members Of the church,
will fill the pews, and solve all the diff
ferences between man and man.
The church was established for tho
purpose Of leading men to God, and
teaching them how to live life OF
love" in this present evil world. And
it is not dependent OF any one man or
set of men, never has been and never
will be. The best men die but tho
church lives on. The pope dies. bu,
the church does not so down. dozen
cardinals are ready to take his place.
iphn 10 la OF 10 ttVt
many are ready for his place. The
term of the moderator Of the general
assembly expires, but aspirants for the
place are not few. The church will go
on whether you live and die in your
sins or not. And you will need it as
much or more than it needs you.
The poor mans sins are the cause of
his poverty. Drunkenness and I'M
prudence curse the poor as much as
exhorbitance curses the rich. Men
waste themselves in riotous living. The
poor of the country expend enough
for liquor and tobacco to give them all
comfortable homes. Personal sins, not
Industrial bondage, is the cause OF
widespread discomfort. Men turn away
from Christianity, which is the true
wealth producer.
The spirit of Jesus Christ in the
church searches for lost souls, and
proposes to save them from sin. He
who was rich, yet for our sakes be-
came poor. that we thru his poverty
might become rich" confers untold
blessings upon his own.
The gospel of Christ deals with the
life that now Is and that which Is to
come. Goodness is profitable for all
things The religious experience that
does not help man in the practical
concerns of every day life. is not worth
having. True Christianity, thru the
church, is the most powerful agency
for uplifting men the world has ever
seen. OBSERVER
