WORSE THAN A MISTAKE.

Imprudence and Self often travel together as
twins. 1t is difficult to disassociate one from the
other in the selection of objects presented by op-
portunity. For instance, when one considers life
insurance, and the mistakes that are made
quarter of century ago we did not number
so many Catholic benevolent societies as we do to-
day. The few in existence then were bound chiefly
by religious and patriotic ties. Those were suf-
fcient to promote the social amenities of life Of
course if member taken i'll, the society pro-
vided a physician and the invalid was allowed a
sick benefit from the treasury. If he died. the So
ciety provided funeral. In most instances the
widow received something like hundred dollars
Rarely more than this; but, whatever the sum, it
voted out of the treasury through the voice of
the members
After awhile the notion obtained that an insur-
ance feature would be good thing to incorporate
into Catholic societies. That notion had behind it
an argument that seemed unanswerable A great
many Catholics attracted to the insurance fea-
ture in societies like the Odd Fellows, knights Of
Pythias, Woodmen and others. If we were to hold
our Catholics together and prevent them drifting
into the societies named it was pointed out that
Catholic societies must be organized on similar
lines. Wise suggestion; prudent thought But
right there wisdom let go and prudence did not
come to take its turn at the helm.
1t was all because of the notion that dollar
spent for life insurance in Catholic society was
an act in some way aiding the cause of religion.
The real business part of the proposition was never
seriously Investigated. If took out policy in
the society, satisfied that knew it was a
good thing; therefore did the same All the time
ehuclling oyer the good fortune that made the
Catholic dollar go farther than the Protestant dol
lar, because it had greater purchasing power
when it came TO life insurance. So it had. in the
purchase of life insurance in certain Catholic So
cieties, but, it turns out such life insurance is
not backed by hundred cents as dollar always !
IS. Of course we speak of the Catholic dollar and
the Protestant dollar in the literary sense only.
The mistake was made eve can hardly call if
crime, though persons caught in the meshes are
disposed to give it that nancy when young and old
we're admitted to share the insurance benefits on .

To the recent speech of NJ. Combes charging
the violation of the Concordat upon the Vatican
authorities the Osservatore Romano. the Vatican
OIgn, has beeeu authorized to reply that the Holy
See has never refused to consider propositions by
the French government regarding the appointment
of bishops, when the Holy See was not in
formed privately of such propositions, as is Gus
tomary. The propositions of the present French
cabinet were never rejected because the candidates
were adherents of the republic the seasons for such
reflections always having been canonical and there
fore permitted by the Concordat. The French gov
eminent always notified of the reasons for such
reflections, although the Pope was not obliged to so
notify it The Holy See has always admitted that
the obligatory character Of the Concordat should
be scrupulously observed but it considered it quite
distinct from the organic articles.

In talk to one of his confirmation classes re-
Gently Bishop Hartley of Columbus says the Cath
oic Columbian of that city, told the following
story:
About twenty-five years ago the bishop. then
Father Hartley, consulted by Catholic man
who occupied clerical position with large cor
poratiOn. He was discouraged to find that promo
ton was very slow coming his way but saw, to his
dismay, that clerks less competent were placed
ahead of him, all for the simple reason that they
belonged to the same secret society as the heads of
the firm, and when Announcements were to be made
those were favored, to his exclusion. He wanted
Father Hartley to tell him why the church was
so severe against secret societies. The priest
gave him the church's good reasons-its objec-
ton to the ritual which led the members away
from their church services, and so on and
advised him to be true to his church, no matter
what came. After some conversation the man
lett, satisfied with the reasons given and resolved
to continue to be-, as he always had been, loyal
son of the church
The years rolled around and some four weeks
ago Bishop Hartley met the same gentleman for
the first time since that memorable conversation;
and after the first greetings were over the bishops
mind naturally reverted to the subject then dis
eussed, and he asked the man how he had gotten
on. His reply that he had more than pros
pered. He is member of the corporation
OF which ne was then but clerk Two of his sons

daughters happily married and two at home with

NO indeed, [ never regretted taking the adj
vice you gave me that day Bishop" said the gem
tleman Shortly after that things began to go
wrong at our place of business. The clerks in re-
sponsible positions became dissipated and grew
careless at their work, with the result that the firm
soon noticed the danger to its standing. After
futile efforts to make them attend to business
properly, the dissipated ones whom had formerly
envied for their advancement. were dismissed, and
was given position of trust, finally becoming
a member of the firm"

merit, will always WIN
