To Be a Catholic Society.

Remarks have been made from time
to time that the parish priest is either
not in sympathy or positively hostile to
the formation of a Catholic society in
his parish, says Archbishop Glennon.
l would say that do not believe this
is true in the main, or if it be true it
can be only because the society con-
templated or already established is not
genuinely Catholic. For society to be
Catholic it must be first Of all pre-
pared to obey the rules of the church
concerning Catholic societies: it should
have chaplain who would be, not a
figurehead, but real force in its guild
ance; it should not depend upon the
finances of the parish to sustain it; it
should not be-unless it be altogether
like the st. Vincent de Paul Society for
the Poor-lt should snot be rival of
the parish in raising money under the
title Of charity. The members of the
society should not alone sustain them
selves as a society, paying their just
debts, helping one another in mutual
interests, but ought to be prepared at
all times to associate themselves with
the priest of the parish for the develop
ment of parochial life and fulfillment
Of parochial duties. The Catholic so.
ciety should be the select guard in the
parish, prepared at all times to second
their pastors efforts and to act in con-
junction with him in the various re-
sponsible duties he has to perform.
have often times wondered when

the Catholic church by mere boys,
sometimes the altar boys, I wondered
where the men-the responsible men of
the parish-were. And sometimes I
have found that instead of being there
at the services, they We're at meeting
in some adjoining clubhouse, far more
interested in the petty details of their
society than in the parish work that at
that moment demanded their attention.
If the society is truly Catholic it may
rest assured that it will obtain not only
the PASTORS approval, but also in pro-
portion to it's usefulness and it's Catho-
licity will obtain such encouragement
that it will soon have in it's member

If it is otherwise, then it will not be

which tells of the advice which IL

the war. The track was in wretched

of speed. When the conductor was
punching his ticket, Artemus remark
ed:
"Does this railway company allow
passengers to give advice, if they do
so in a respectful manner?"
The conductor replied in gruff tones
that he supposed so.

A Wealthy Church,

The wealthiest church in the world,
proportionately to its numerical
strength, is, perhaps, the Protestant
Episcopal church of Ireland. 1t has
an accumulated fund of close on $780,
100000, while the total number Of it's
adherents, men, women and children,
is only little over half a million. The
big fund is mainly the result of the
compensation received for being discs
tablished and disendowed by the Glad
stone Act Of 1870. Before that time
and for two centuries previously the
Irish Church, as it was officially de-
signated, though the church of but a
small minority of the population, re-
ceived all the tithes, paid by Catholics
as we'll as Protestants, and thus the
Catholic Irish were compelled by law
to pay an annual tax for. the mainten-
ance of the Protestant church. The
accumulated fund above referred to is,
therefore, to large extent the money
of Catholics, fact which does not
seem to trouble the consciences of the
gentlemen of the "Church of Ireland -
as the disestablished sect now styles
itself, with as much right to the title
as it formerly had to that of the "Irish

A writer in the Denver Catholic,
speaking of the neglect of Catholics in
supporting the Catholic press, says that
it is generally the snobs who have fault
to find with the press and these people
are generally the ones who are first to
cast reflection on the Church. He says
they are the so-called Catholics, who,
after obtaining dollar or two, Sec
ond suit of clothing, a new evening
gown, and the time has come when
they can keep servants, sit back in
warm downey cushions and read 10
cent magazines, find fault with the
Catholic paper, which in days past had
been their only solace. And, too these
Catholics who have through mere
neglect let their subscription fee run
on until they, think its too much to pay
for a paper; 1, myself, have gone to
collect from people who have let their
subscriptions run from u to II years,
then when reminded of same, say they
never cared for the paper any way,
complaining Of the editor, the writer,
too many sermons, even object to the
quality of the paper.
