.Protestants Contributing to the Non
Catholic Missions,

1t is one of the most interesting de
velopments of the mont Catholic mis-
sion work that some important contri-
buttons to it have come from non
Catholics. The following letter. just
received at the Apostolic Mission
House, is typical of a number of 9th
ers:
Reverend SRA non Catholic mis-
sion recently given in this town has
brought the needs and the work of the
non-Catholic missions to my notice.
Although Protestant myself, I realize
the great influence for good which can
be exerted by the Roman Catholic
Church upon those who respect her
teachings and authority. 1t is there
fore pleasure to enclose a contribu-
ton to assist in counteraCting the pre-
Valling irreligious tendencies and to
assure you of the good wishes of
a NON-CATHOLIC FRIEND.
1t is well Known to the experiences
of the western priests that their best
supporters are frequently the nom
Catholics of their town, but for this
the reason is evident; Catholic
church brings permanent settlers to d
town. The influence of the Catholic
Church always is for law and order.
1t is a good thing in community,
anu IoI lIlS reason puoIc-Splclted cltl-
zens help to build a Catholic. Church.
The reason for helping the non-Catho-
lie mission movement is not so evil
dent. Still they are doing it. What
the non-Catholic mission. movement
does accomplish is: it brings all man
ner Of Christians closer together 1t
misunderstanding and it
represses religious rancor. This is SO
good thing that many out and-out
Portestants think it worth paying for.

drawing he had seen. and early the fol

immense but ill-gotten fortune to the

whereas Mr.. Charles Hanson was
never one penny the richer.
Il may conclude my notice of this
eminent achitect by stating that to my
certain knowledge he was good, prac-
teal Catholic. Whenever a. bishop or
priest consulted him about drawing
plans for a projected church he would
always offer up a holy communion to
obtain light and grace before he would
commence a sketch for what he was
commissioned to erect. In this respect
he but initiated the example of the
most eminent painters of Catholic and
medieval times

LENT AND YOUNG MEN.

Why should young men observe the
fast of Lent?
Quite number of them act as if
Lent was not for them. They dispense
themselves They do not consult their
doctor or their confessor. They just
won't fast.
Now there are four reasons why
Young men should fast:
!. They are bound TO fast. They
have no choice in the matter. And
fhor are bound under pain of deadly
SIM So that if q young man can fast
and deliberately won't fast he commits
deadly sin every time that he wilful-
.f breaks the commandment of the
'hmch. As Just like any other mortal
sim that sin of sensuality and disobed-
fence. Will. if not taken away by CON
rttou and confession, condemn him to
harl.
Therefore, young men who can fast
must fast. And they arc not free to de-
eide for themselves, without adequate
reason, whether or not their physique
j. s." delicate or their labor SO hard that
they may refrain from fasting. They
are usually. too much of an interested
party te determine this question jU
oI.iously. Besides it is their Christian
duty tn apply 10 the Church for dis
pansation
IF Young man really cannot keep
'1" strict letter of the law. but can OBJ
.orro more or less of its requirements
Hn IS bound to observe them. He must
aa what he can do to keep the spirit
ard the letter Of the law.
The plea of poor health is in the
Young usually not well-founded More
persons are injured by gluttony than
hN fasting. And it has happened, over
and over again, that a person who re-
solved to keep the fast in spite of a
general wickedness, has improved in
strength under the change the sim
lleity and the meagreness Of the food
used i'm Lent.
Of course the really sick should be
guided by the advice of their pastors.

JUST TO BEGIN AGAIN.
BY Lillian Whiting

BY Lillian Whiting.
When. sometimes. our feet grow weary
On the rugged hill of life
The path stretching long ana dreary
With trial and labor rife
We pause on the toilsome lourney.
CHANGING backward in valley and
glen
And sigh with an infinite longing
10 return and begin again
For behind is the dew If the morning,
In all its freshness and light
And before are doubts and shadows.
And the chill and gloom of the hight.
We remember the sunny places
We passed so careiesSly then.
And ask, with passionate logging.
To return and begin agaI
All, vain indeed is The asking!
Lies duties press all OF US on.
And who dare shrink from the labor.
Or sigh for the sunshine :hat:; gone?
And. it may be, not far pn before US
Wait fairer places thar then
Life's paths may yet lead by still
waters.
Though we may not begin again.
ForeYernore upward and onward
Be our paths on the hills of life
And soon will a radiant dawning
Transfigure the toll anI the st;ife
And our Fathers hand VIII lead US
Tenderly upward then:
in the joy and peace of fairer world
He Will let us begin again.

WHO THE LOSER?

No. my friend, do not try 10 excuse
yourself for not. practicing your relig-
ion, for your yourself, and only you,
are the ,oser. When you quit the
church for any reason, you are hurting
yourself immensely, and hurting others
by your bad example, but are not hurt
ing the :hurch. If you mean it is a
revenge you are taking revenge not
against the priest bishop, or people,
but against God himself; for it is He
who requires you to live up TO the
church H that despiseth you Ghe
church, dcspiseth Ne, are the words
of God himself.
Let every one assure himself that,
though his parish, if small, might miss
him a little financially, the Catholic
church can do without him and a few
millions of others and be thu srandest
institution on earth still. She has
done il. When Henry VIII of Eng

and take millions with him should the
Pope not grant him divorce. thu Pope

Jewish View of sanctity of Marriage.

1t is consoling to note the strong
position taken up by several prominent
Jewish journals in regard to the san
city of marriage. The American He
brew, for instance, says: Our teach
ers of morals and religion are not
sounding false alarm in the denuncia-
tons of the present loose conception
Of the marriage tie. Society is becom-
ing all askew in its attitude toward
violators of the seventh commandment
and especially in its blindness to the
danger lurking in a light-hearted,
easy-going Indifference to the sanctity
of marriage. The appeal to be made to
the law will not produce the desired re-
suit Th4 law is not strong enough to
check the evil which is conceded to be
a real one, for law in matters so de-
pendent upon feeling, and upon a re-
lation so bound up in the most init
mate feelings of mankind, can not hope
to remedy matters wholly. The appeal
must be made to the individual. A
false conception of marriage is cur
rent. Marriage is not regarded as
sanctification of two beings in a holy
desire to be of service to each other, to
develop their powers, to realize more
fully than in any other relation that
great principle of life. to bear with one
another; and it is instead accepted as
a perfunctory and necessary act estab-
lished by All enactment of law Our
preachers should strive to inspire
loftier ideal of marriage, which may
lead to a recognition of the true value
even of marriage between dissimilar
persons.

sLANDERlNG THE FRIARs.

The Dominican Father Coleman,
writing in the American Catholic Quar-
terly Review of the friars' estates in
the Philippines, says: IF they live on
aims, they are 'beggarly friars' moth
ing so low is conceivable. If they re-
,eiye fees for spiritual ministrations
they are making a trade of religion and

they get a. salary from the government.
they are robbing the state even when
lhn state is merely making restitution
for robberi=s committed OH the church:
they are 'salaried employees and. in
the Philippines, spies of the Spanish
government. If by economy and hon
o~t labor, prolonged through centuries,
they have acquired landed estates and
dispose OF wealth, the eye Of envy is
moro widely opened than ever, and
They are living in the lap of luxury,
eating up the land, living on the fat Of
the land "

HE HANSON CAB.

When the dmassing of unwieldly for
tunes is criticised, the rejoinder is often
heard that it simply manifests superior
ability on the part of the possessor.
and that only despicable envy will cavil
at the existing dispensation. The fol-
lowing narrative as related by Rev. $.
G. P. Fox in Donahoe's Magazine for
February. gives II typical instance of
the kind of ability that often wins iii
the pursuit OF wealth:

who was a talented man in many re-
spects other than in the exercise of his
profession, he was dining on certain

som got a sheet of paper. and without
any delay he sketched out his idea of a
safe and convenient mode OF passing
through tho crowded streets of the
great metropolis. His friends watched
him while he was at work and unani-
mously appluuded the sketch which he
had drawn. They dubbed it by the name
of its inventor. and it was then and
there called a Hanson Car. One of
those present advised him to take out
patent for it, which he said he would

Grace Before Meals.

The church has established prayers
which should be said before and after
meals. in religious communities these
prayers are always said, and are some
what long. But for the faithful gener-
ally. the church has made them so
short that even the most simple people
can and should say them always before
and after meals The prayer before
the meal is this: Bless us, O Lord.
and these Thy gifts we are about to
receive through Thy most gracious
bounty, through Jesus Christ Our
Lord, Amen And when the meal is
over we should say: we thank Three,
o Lord, for these Thy gifts, through
Jesus Christ, Our Lord Amen"
That is not much to ask from any
one of us for the food that nourishes
our body. And vet how few there are
who ask Gods blessing on the food
they are about to eat. OF to thank Him
for the yictuals they have eaten.
1T seems to me that many a quarrel
and many complaint made about the
food. or the way it is cooked or served
would be averted If the blessing of God
had descended upon the eaters and
their food before the meal began. and
again that better health and more
peace in the family would result if all
When they got up from the table would
say, in all sincerity of heart: We
than Three, 0 Lord for these Thy
gifts. And they are Gods gifts.
Do not forget this, dear brethren.
whatever comes to us is from God.
The sun with all its power to make us
bright and cheerful as well as the rain
that helps the cart hto give us the
fruits and vegetables we need, both
are the result of Gods pro1-identia1
ways; and We must be grateful to Him
for sunshine and rain,
Away with the complaints about the
weather, and away with all the fault
finding about our food, and let us be
more generous in our thanking God for
rain or shine and let us establish in
every household the truly Catholic prac-
tice of saying the grace before and
after meals. Begin is today at dinner.
Let the head of the family say the
prayer before and after every meal.
Await the results We promise you
that Gods blessing will follow. Begin
