a TRIBUTE OF GRATITUDE.

A more fitting tribute of remembrance and fidelity
could been presented token of affection
for dear departed one, than the beautiful arch Of
lights surrounding the sanctuary Of Sacred Heart
chapel which shone for the first time the feast of
Mary Immaculate. bespealing the loyalty of old
alumna-Mrs Mary FurIong Hennessy, 90 Butte,
Mont, and devotion who the inspira-
ton and guiding of her young days-our loved
Mother Annunciata.
TO those who had known the gentle influence OF
beautiful life it seemed that the soft of her
soulful voice, audible the morning Of the
feast she loved WELL when the first notes Of the
Magnificent were intoned. as the lights burst upon
the view of those present. Yet felt she truly
with and from her home above, joined in heart
felt hymn of praise to that purest of creatures to
whom in her youth and fervor she had generously
dedicated herself. Innumerable the heart
prayers that to the throne of grace, and soft
echo seemed to thrill souls. for felt again her
gentle spirit as in days of yore What loving mes
sage did she send that morning. what blessing beg
for dear Sacred Heart that she loved we'll? Were
spirit songs audible here below might hear her in
the old sweet tones that her children knew, bid
ever be loyal to Mary Immaculate.
Give her your hearts as you pledge them today,
Then through ME dark night of sin and of sorrow,
Mary, your mother, will brighten hfes way.

FATHER PHEIAN,s SERMONS.

Rev. d. S. Phean, for more than forty years the
editor of the Western Waterman of St Louis, has
just published through B. Herder, St. Louis, "The
Gospel Applied to Our Times" which includes a
sermon for every Sunday in the year Father
Phelan in his preface says that he has been par
ish priest for over forty years and has averaged
more than one sermon every Sunday He believes
that parish priest is well fitted to know the secret
of preaching effectively. The parish priest has his
ear close to the throbbing heart of the people.
Most Of sermon books, which are written by
monks and Bishops, do not, Father Phean thinks,
contain the food for which the people hunger We
believe that there is considerable in this observa-
4on. Many sermons are so spiritual in their con
cepton, theologic i'll their argument that they go
over the heads of the people. Father Phelan fur
Their says that in addition to being parish priest
lac has edited Catholic paper for forty years
which has given him facility which makes his SER
mons not only preachable, but printable
So much for what Father Phelan says of him
self Upon gancing at the contents of the work
the reader must reflect that if all sermons were
like these, his wits would not go wandering as he
sat in his pew on Sunday Father Phelan's SER
mons should be studied as models in our seminaries
No doubt these institutions arc richly provided with
the sermons of the saints It is we'll to have vol
une OF sermons from one who is not saint--but
vino Is, nevertheless, a good parish priest despite
the fact that he is also very able Catholic editor

MORAL AND ECONOMIC BUBBLES.

A writer on one of the city dailies, who is
close reader of this paper, asked its editor what
support Cardinal Manning had for declaring that
by the law of nature all men have common
right TO the use of things which were created for
their use and sustenance' This quotation APP
peared in an article from II. D." the first page
last week Cardinal Manning wrote this in justi-
fcation Of the law of sef-preservation which tran
scends all man-made laws. Our friend took ex-
ception to the quotation because, he said, it gave
to a hungry freedom to sandbag another to
obtain food. This was not true Interpretation
of Cardinal Manning, and our friend was appraised
that appropriatng another's property was justi-
fed only in extreme cases. such as arise but seldom
and after ali other means have been exhausted to
provide bread
The question of the journalist-what support
Cardinal Manning had for justifying robbery as it
would be legally termed in case where restitution
could be relieved only by appropriating the means
of another-the answer is to be found in Scripture
The gospels relate that on their way to certain
place III Judea, the apostles with Christ became
faint from hunger. Passing a field on the high
way the disciples entered and helped themselves to
the growing until they were filled
Another question is suggested by this incident:
Why could not Christ have taken a pebble from the
highway and converted the into food sufficient
for the disciples! Repeat the miracle of the
loaves and fishes! The answer is that he chose to
establish the common right of man to the use of
things created for his I:so and sustenance. There
FORE he did not rebnke the disciples for appropri
ating the corn.

Another objection made to IF. D." in his rres-
entation of ills of the latterday industrial system
was mention of the linotype machine as one of the
great factors displacing labor and increasing the
army of unemployed. Our friend northumberland
we are inclined to think his observations are ac-
curate-that the linotype machine has served to
increase rather than diminish employment in the
publishing business. OF course in the beginning
the machine hit the hand printers hard but of late
years conditions have adjusted themselves News
papers are twice and triple their former size News
papers are printed in places where none could be
established before. Books and magazines are so
cheap and plentiful that the poorest man can buy
a modest library. All because of the linotype ma
chine. And the men displaced by the machine
have knocked out a living as country editors. or
as actors in transforming companies. Some have
even taken up the gospel but we could absolve them
from all conceit of exhortation. At any rate there
are few, very few, printers at this day who honestly
look for employment and do not find it.
This is one and only one example of the machine
working no injury TO industrial conditions 1t
does not disproHe IF. DIS" argument that the null
tipied use of labor-saving machinery results in
over-p production, and leaves willing hands to beg
bread who would rather earn it.

weight upon his breast He looked and

rattiesnake, coiled with its head in the
opposite direction from him face He
was afraid to attempt to rise for fear that
the snake would bite him, so in agony
of fear and suspense he awaited devel-
opments.
In a short time another workman APP
preached the barn from the house He
was whistling tune, and this attracted
the attention of the snake, which raised
