France large proportion Of the peo-
pie are poor and unable to contribute
to the cause Of religion. They have
looked to the Church for many chari-
ties and for the education of their
children. These charities will have
to be abandoned, and the ministers of
religion will be cast upon the world
to seek their support which they have
been accustomed for hundred years
to receive from the government. If
the Catholics of France are as loyal
as they have been credited with be-
ing they will accept with eagerness
and cheerfulness the new response.
bilities.
The clergy of France are di-
vided in their opinion as to how
the new order of things will sue
ceed. Not all the clergy of France
are opposed to the change. Some
look upon it as the best thing that
could happen to Church and State.
The new bill framed by the Rouvier
government is by no means as harsh
as the one framed by the Combes
government. The present law pro.
vides that the stipends which have
hitherto been paid to the existing
members of the Catholic priesthood
and episcopate and also of course to
Protestant pastors and Jewish rabies
who have been dependent upon the
Church for their salaries will continue
to be paid but no addition to the list
of those who are to be paid stipends
will hereafter be made That means
upon the passing away of all present
members to whom stipends are paid,
that stipends will cease. This will
give a certain time for the Church
to accommodate itself to the new situ-
alton. The bill, however, is unfair to
the Church in that it retains the own
ership of all the churches and all
other ecclesiastical buildings in the
state, and leases them to associations
corresponding to parishes. This will
prevent the Church from being free in
fact as it is in the United States. The
associations to which churches and
cathedrals will be leased will be sub
ject to secular surveillance. The
civil authorities will have power to
interfere, and upon pretext that the
provisions of the leases are being
violated, will have the power of clos.
ing churches and cathedrals. This
power, of course, in the hands of
government disposed to treat religion
fairly would make little difference,
but in the hands of Socialists or in
fidels who now seem to have the up
per hand in France, it places an inn
mense power for the destruction of
religion in the hands of the state.
For our own part we believe that if
the abolition of the Concordat meant
complete separation of State and
Church it would be the best thing that
ever happened to the Church in
France, but the abolition of the Con-
cordat does not amount to that by any
means. 1t still leaves in the state
the power of control over religion and
takes away from religion the support
which the state formerly granted.
Absolute freedom is what the Church
needs in France. 1t needs the power
to promote religion freed from the re-
straining power of the state. In this
country most of the people believe
that the Church in France received
all the aid and made no returns to the
state therefor. AS a matter of fact
the state received as much, If not
more than it gave in return.

ton of an Iowa man. This apparatus
is a receptacle having an open face,
with a flange or rim surrounding the
outer edge, a scraper-blade being at
.tached to the front edge of the rim.
A handle is attached to each side of
the apparatus for holding it over a
covered surface. An inlet is provided
in one end of the receptacle through
which hot water or steam is injected,
with an outlet below for removing the
water when cold. BY applying the ap-
paratus to the wall the paper is loos-

steam, there being no chance of any
water being splashed around in this
way. The scraper blade does the rest.

whether the book or the fad has ever

Of his needs. Bounded on all sides by
the best books, enjoying the close com

given to man Of genius, and finding
in long walk at postmans pace full

and under the spell of Il deeper peace
than he knew in the bolsterous dawn

The girl started, and her mother ran

strange antipathies are often shown by

ment."
She had hesitated at the very word
that was ringing louder and louder
through all the resoundng labyrinths of
the brain. She had made generalza-
ton where the specific object was most
glaringly before them, Lizzy thought,
as she ran through the dry, light, yield

plainly what she SO plainly meant she
would have said:

ously insane, and is possessed of the
hallucination that you and Mr.. Mason
are plotting to injure and thwart and de-
stroy him. He may kill you in a sudden
paroxysm of insane fury. Don't go near
him! Don't go near him.

Sandtown, scarcely stepping foot out

that were still coming in from the south

northeast by the Overcoat road, Lizzy
ran on to the Doctors Office, only to dis
cover that he was not there.

The young Doc had clearly volunteered
to "ketch 'im," as an afterthought found

EItensible Pew.

Ordinarily the seating capacity Of
most churches is sufficient to accom-
modate those who regularly attend,
and generally, when plans for new
churches are being drawn up, pro-
vision is made for seating the regular
attendants and no more. If enough
seats were provided for the increased
number of members who go to church
on Easter Sunday and other special
occasions, the church would look bare
when the average number attend. The
consequence is that when noted
speaker or preacher is engaged to ad-
dress a certain congregation, a great
many people are attracted thereby and
the church is invariably overcrowded

fresh paper put in Its place. AS a
rule, wall paper does not retain its
newness for any great length Of time,
and to keep the home looking bright

always causes lot of dirt, and unless
everything in the room is covered or
else removed entirely the dirty water
splashes over it and causes damage.
