sage in St. Luke's gospel describing Lazarus and

Abraham's bosom, and after Dives died he looked
up and saw Lazarus and said to Abraham: 4 pray
that thou woudst send Lazarus to admonish my
brothers that they may escape this torment But
Abraham said; They have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them; let them read the prophets and
believe in Moses. But Dives said: oh if only one

Abraham said: IF they hear not Moses and the
prophets, neither viii they be persuaded though one

Protestants who do not accept miracles and re-
ject special providences are at times puzzled to
explain the role of the Creator after creation If
he does not interfere to prevent crime he might
without hurting his reputation step in to check
catastrophes in physical nature. But nature is in
tangible She must be governed by her own laws
God must not interfere. He cannot if He would;
and He would not if He could. But if it is hard
for Catholics to accept miracles and mysteries, it
is douby hard for Protestants to explain inundated
Johnstowns and engulfed Galvestons, and fiery Pc
lees and burning Slocums. God permits evil that
the wicked may be punished and the good tried

The managers of the St. Louis exposition com
plain bitterly that their show has not been sufficient
ly noticed by the press. Considering that it is
private commercial enterprise, which the govern
ment has aided by a loan of several millions, and
that the profits, if any, go into the pockets of
its managers their complaint is not over-modest.
The press has been than generous in booming
it gratis, when it might have justly expected fair
share of advertising patronage. Some features of
the enterprise have attracted an attention more
general than desirable. This is especially true of
the Irish Section" where, in spite of many indg
nant protests, the management insisted upon pro-
ducng the offensive stage Irishman in all his dull
vulgarity. The performers from Ireland who had
to represent the beautiful Irish drama
dismissed when they objected to playing the
same stage with the Bowery baboon who typifed the
representative Irshman in the minds of Manager
Hanley, Director Murphy and their associates, an
Englishman named Martin and Hebrew named
Rosencrest The last named will be remembered as
the producer of "McFadden's Flats" foul thing,
which was rottenegged off the New York stage.
