THE FIFTH PREcEPT.

By the fifth precept of the Church, the duty IS
imposed on of contributing to the support Of
pastors says the Church Progress 1t has the honor
of being the one law of the Church concerning
which many Of her members claim they hear entire
ly too much We fear, however, that there is but
small grounds for the contention, and we base our
opinion on the conduct of those who make the claim
1t is a notorious fact that those who continually
disclam against these repeated reminders are The
most frequent violators of the law. They are
tinually protesting against talks about money"
to divert attention from their derection of duty.
To create favorable impressions of themselves in
situation Is not sufficient. but some go to the
treme of making false and vicious charges against
their pastors. These facts prove that they do not
hear too much about the law. If they did they
would understand It's requirements much better and
comply with its provisions more rigidly.
As matter Of fact both the divine and human
law as we'll as reason and equity, compel to
compliance with the duty commanded by the pre-
cept In the first it is written that ''the Lord or
dained that they who preach the gospel shall live
of the gospel" BY the second, compensation is
conceded recompense for labor. Reason and equity
appeal TO us for the maintenance OF pastors,
the one because their labors conduce to the weafre
of our souls the other because these labors exclude
them from other means of livelihood and rebound
othe greater force and perfection of the state.
Hence all should follow the law with Willingness
and generosity commensurate with the sacrifices
made in their behalf. If all will only correspond
with the advice given concerning spiritual matters
it is safe to predict that few would be found who
have complaint to make about too frequent remind
ers touching this precept. An Indifference regard
ing the former, however. is bound to provoke the
latter. For where there is not spiritual anprecia-
ton of the labors of pastor, there Will net be
pliance with the precept

WHERE IS YOUR PRAYER BOOK?

1t would not be safe to argue from the scarcity,
O prayer books among many of the young men at
tending mass that they cannot read. nor would II
be fair to infer from this fact high degree OF hit
cracy among the stalwart lads OF the parish Many
,,cro ,rrant in sucb close communion with God and
,boir hearts were so overAowing with divine love
That tbcv did not need the aid Of prayer books to
llooest fit expressions of alteration, but with the
innate humility of our young men they would re-
icct such reason for the dearth of prayer books,
the pastor were rash enough to ascribe it to them
They need prayer books TO assist them in their de-
yotions to teach them the right form of PRAYERS,
TO avoid distraction and thus help to concentrate
their attention upon the holy act in which they are
engaged.

TRUE TO THEIR MISSION

One of the first to reach the suffering rescued
from the burning excursion steamer General Slo-
cum, which sent hundreds into death in the East
river, New York, was Rev Father Donlon of st.
Jerome's church. Gathering other priests who live
in the vicinity of the scene of the catastrophe all
the clergymen hurried TO the water front, and al
though the majority of the dying lying on the river
bank were of the Lutheran religion. the good
priests gave to all religious consultations. Father
Donlon administered comfort to forty-seven per-
sons, forty-hree of whom died very shortly after

A B1GoTED COMMENCEMENT GRAFTON.

Rev. Thomas J. NcCarty, chancellor Of the do
cese of Sioux City Ia. formerly pastor of the Holy
Cross Ia, church, at the Cathedral of the Epiph-
any June offered protest against an grafton on
The Growth of Democracy" which was delivered
at the commencement exercises of the Sioux City
high school by John Anderson.
The part of the Grafton to which Father Nc
Carly took decided exception was that which re-
ferred to certain doctrines of the Catholic church,
notably TO 'indulgences" and the ''infalhbility
of the Pope which doctrines, it was alleged, young
Anderson had attempted to define without restrict
ing himself to the definitions approved by the
church.
Father McCarty said that he would not dignity
the mere 'mouthings' of school boy with public
reply 1t was because this Grafton had been passed
on favorably by someone in authority and had been
permitted to become part of the commencement
exercises of so important institution as the
Sioux City high school, he said, that he felt called
upon to offer objection
Il have taken pains to investigate this natter
said Father McCarty, "and | have satisfied myself
that Professor George Z. Marshall, principal of the
high school. is in wise responsible. Professor
Marshall. from all | know flim and have heard
of him, is scholar and a gentleman III all that
these words imply. The responsibility OF this in
suit to the Catholic faith, to the several Catholic
members of the class of 1904 to the Catholic
friends of the high school who attended the eXer-
cises in large numbers and to the Catholic people
Of Sioux City lies with another member of the fac
ulty of the high school who heard the Grafton and
trained the speaker [ am satisfied Professor Mar
shalyl had never seen or heard the Grafton before
it was delivered publicly and it happened he was
not in the assembly room at the time it was pre-
scented before large audience"
In the course of his remarks aFther McCarty
spoke of his own high school days and the policy
which had been maintained by Professor and Mrs.
A. Armstrong, who then constituted the high school
faculty. He declared they would not have tolerated
such TRADE in any of the school exercises. They
were scrupuously careful to permit no utterances
in the school the school exercises which
would in the slightest measure hurt the religious
feelings of any member of the school He suggest
ed the advisability of this policy bein continued
Father McCarty himself was the first president
of the Sioux City High School Alumni association,
and as such delivered fine address at the annual
alumni reception and banquet. He is a member of
the family which has produced more graduates of
the Sioux City high school than any other family.

STERLING DEVOTION OF AMERICAN
CATHOLICS

As contemporary pertinently remarks, the de-
votion of Catholics to their clergy and to their re-
lgion generally is a source of never-ending wonder
i'll our separated brethren The sacrifices our peo
pie in the United States have made and are making

stance of this. 1t is incontestable argument for
the power of the true faith and its ability to incu
cate holiness in life. Philips Brooks, the late Prot
estant Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts, when rec
tor of the church in Philadelphia often remarked
his curate at breakfast that it wonderful to
peep out of ones window on a bleak winters morn

pose" he would say. you and I were to announce
to people next Sunday that the Wednesday
following there would be special services at 4 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 a Catholic priest

THE WAITING HEART.
BY NJ. E. Henry-Ruffin.

The darkness gathers. my child
Out of its shadows come to Me
Come from the storm for thy spirit too wild,
Come to the Heart-Home waiting for thee.
Wait from the tempest of life,
Long have yearnngly watched for thee.
Come! / Will shelter thee from the strife.
Lonely and weary one come to Me-
Fen tho thou heardest Me not,
When the voice of the world was sweet to thee,
All but thy sorrow shall be forgot
In the heart now calling thee back to Ne.
Come! for a home is thine,
Midst the straying twas saved for thee.
Welcome hast thou from heart but Mine,
Come! thou lonely one, come to Me!
Come, and the grief too deep
For human bearing, tell to Me
Unheeded thou shalt not sorrow and weep
In the heart that ever thy home will be. ,
Come! that the few brief days
OF earth may be dreams of peace to thee,
Thy restless spirit, at rest always,
Come TO thy Heart-Home. Come to Me,

ETIQUETTE IN ROME.

10 more exact maxim than in Rome do as
Rome does" That is to say. in Rome, or in any
other place. it is common politeness and mark of
ordinary education and good breeding to conform
10 the customs of the place. n place more than at
the Vatican are the slips of this kind noticed.
The entire world, with few exceptions. follows the
etiquette of the papal palace when within its pre-
cncts Kings, emperors and potentates of all kinds
act as do the pilgrims and peasant of all lands,
once in the presence of the Vicar of Christ. Rare
Is is a Protestant found to decline following the
rule. Some accounts have Just been published of
some unmannery American tourists. who, after
being accorded the honor of a reception by Plus
Y refused to conform to the customary etiquette
of kissing the Pontiff's ring. This recalls SINH
lar incident which occurred in the last year of the
reign Of Plus TX. The London Monitor tells of it
thus:
A young Englishman occupying the position
OF tutor in the family of one of the ambassadors
accredited to King Victor Emmanuel, was present
at a papal audience. and when the Holy Father APP
preached declined to l1neel, as of course. is Gus
1omarv, but remained standing, looking, it must be
confessed, extremely foolish and uncomfortable.
The Pope's encourage was naturally indignant at
The discourtesy, but the kind Pontif merely paused
jor a moment opposite his impolite visitor, and
quietly remarked: 'Ecco this must be a new stat
ne sent for our galleries in the Vatican With this
the Pope passed on, leaving the youth 'plante-la,
looking more foolish than ever. Needless to say,
hc found himself outside the audience chamber in
double quick time and the interesting sequel to the
incident was that the next day the ambassador to-
whose household he was attached received a per-
cnptory intimation. not from the Vatican. but
from the Quirinal, that the young man must leave
Rome within twenty-fOur hours.

Most people have to wear the same old skin
through life, but Galen, n. Y, has man in the
person of William Groescup, who has donned a new
one every year for fifteen years and he is changing
it again, although the one he has is only few
months old.

Groescup had the usual attack last fall, but con-

ease has manifested itself again at this time and
Mr. Groescup is again undergoing the painful and
disagreeable process.

EFFECT OF PoPE's BLESSING.

A Judge in Ireland-Judge Adye Curan-in
opening court session the other day in his district,
told the following about an audience he and his
family recently had with Pope Plus X:
Il wish now to mention matter though / did
not intend at first to make it public Lately [ and
my family were in Rome, and We had the great priv
ilege of private audience with the Holy Father.

which His Holiness most gracousy gave with
good wishes for peace and prosperity to them.

they must begin nearest the ground closest to the
great source. If they will insist on an end II vio-
