directed and controlled by a divine per-
son, free and amenable to petition.
Living God In Eternity.
20. This eternally living one gives
meaning and occasion to our belief In the
hereafter. II there is no God living and
accessible TO us In that eternity to which
we are fastening, It would be a horror to
contemplate such a state. Think of the
golden streets of the Paradise Of God,
people with orphaned children and II
would be anything but heaven or a
home.
But If there we fully realize the fell
Iowship with God, which here we only
partially enjoy, then there Is reason be-
hind this craving for Immortality. Eter-
nifty without God would be an eternal
hell to the soul.
MY plea Is therefore for you to live
now in fellowship with the living God.
Let Him live In you and your life par
take of the life divine. To this end Jesus
came, that you might have life and have
T. more abundantly. WIN you not come
into God by Him?"

Father coyle Reads Portion of
Recent EncylicaI
RGl D RULES LAID DOWN
More Attention to Be Given to the
Matter of lnstructing Adults As
Well AS Children In Chris
tan Doctrine.

The three masses at st. Pauls yester-
day were largely attended. At last mass
the Rev. Father Kitrick was celebrant
and the Rev. Father Coyle occupied the
pulpit. The latter read to the congrega-
ton the concluding portion of the Popes

stress is laid on the value of the cate
chism.
Referring to the Importance of cateche-
teal teaching his holiness says in part:
Wishing to introduce uniformity every
wher in this most weighty matter, we
do, by our supreme authority enact and
strictly ordain that in all doceses the
following precepts be observed:
To Instruct.
ION every Sunday and feast day, none
excepted, all parish priests, and, gem

do to be saved.

which contains universities, colleges and

founded to instruct in the FRUITS of faith
and in the practice of Christian life the
young people who frequent the public
schools from which all religious teaching
is banned
Adults Need Instruction.
'In consideration Of the fact that in
these days adults not less than the young
stand In need of religious instruction, all
parish priests and others having the
care of souls shall, In addition to the
usual homily on the gospel to be deliver
ed at the parachial mass on all days Of

faithful in an easy style. suited to the in
telligence of their hearers. at such time
of the day as they may deem most con-
venient for the people, but not during

SAILORS ARE NOW OFFICERS.
Plenty Of Room at the Top for Jaekies
in the Navy.


That there is plenty Of room at the
top for the enlisted man in the Unit
ed States navy was clearly demon
strated by the recent appointment OF
nine machinists and gunners to be
ensigns. Whatever the flow Of naval
promotion and faithful or distinguish
ed service may bring them before
they reach the retiring age Of sixty
two years, these ensigns are now on
an equal basis with graduates of the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis.
These ensigns. who began their
naval service by application to the
recruiting officer are: Walter e.
Whitehead, Frank Rorschbach, Chas.
Webb Densmore, Francis Dominic
Burns, Clarence Sylvester Wander

animation, but was found physically

These officers will be known as

the service. That Is the convenient
designation Of an officer who is not
graduate Of the Naval Academy. 1t
carries no suggestion of reproach,

nance.
In the navy to-day the place of the
warrant officer is a highly important
one. He constantly performs duty
above his station. There are too few
officers in the navy to man properly
all the ships in commission. Watch
and division duty accordingly falls
upon warrant officers, and as a rule
they discharge these duties in a most
capable fashion.
Nothing could afford more convinc-
ing testimony of the worth of these
warrant officers than the letters of
recommendation from officers under
whom they have served and the re

GERS give detailed answers to certain
questions about the candidates OF

woman Works as Blacksmith.

The town of Prescott, Ariz., claims
to have the only woman blacksmith
in the country, She is Mrs. Mollie
Thompson White, wife of II. B.
White, a prosperous blacksmith. She
is a good looking woman of less than
middle age and seems to enjoy her
work The pair have no children and
when White ran shop at Independ-
ence, Col, Mrs. White used to take
her sewing and sit in the shop rather
than be alone. Gradually she learned
to do things connected with the work
and is now an expert. Although she
can shape a hoof and set shoe as
well as her husband she does little
of this work, as he fears she might
get hurt. She does all the wagon
painting that comes in and swings a
sledge as well as her husband. She
also delights to hunt, and boasts that
she is a better shot than her husband.
He admits it with pride in her abil-
ity, but boasts in turn that he is her
superior in the gentle art of cooking
a beefsteak.

Governor La FolIette's College Days.

During his university days young
La Follette's oratorical powers began
to make themselves felt. Born with a
gift for public speaking, he speedily
developed into an eloquent and con-
figure in the literary and debating So
cieties. The interstate oratorical
contest between Ohio, Wisconsin,
Missouri, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois
was one of the notable competitor.
The subject of his grafton was "Iago,"
and even as lagos dupe, Othello,
smoothered luckless Desdemona, so
lagos young analyst and interpreter
smothered his forensic rivals, first In
the University of Wisconsin contest,
second in the broader forum of the
assembled colleges of the Badger
State, each of which had sent its best
speaker, and third in the interstate
competition itself when the six cham
pion orators of as many States were
pitted against each other on the same
platform.
Young La Toilette staked every
tnlng on the merits of 'Iago," used
the same Grafton in all three contests,
and carried off the interstate cham
pionship with ease. The winning ora
ton, treasured still in scores Of Wis
consin scrap-books, although a quar-
ter of century has passed, was print
ed in many Western newspapers, was
reclted by ambitious schoolboys for
years, and was even said to have CIV

THE OTHER SIDE OF JIU JlTsu.
A Baltimore Teacher Says the System
Can't Hurt a Boxer.

Baltimore. Md.-Prof. Charles Will
Hard. one of the ablest physical in
structors in Baltimore. argues that
any man able to box skifully can
successfully stand off any exponent of
jiu-jitsu. Prof. Willard in the New
York Sun says:
Now that the Government has Is
sued orders to have the naval cadets
at Annapolis instructed in jiu-jitsu,
feel that it will be interesting to the
public to learn something of its
worth, II It Is worth anything. l up
hold the merits of the American svs-
TEN of selfdefence.
81 have studied the American,
French and Japanese methods of de-
fence and | stand ready to prove that
a man having some knowledge of the
American art can easily defend him
self against an opponent using the
jiu-jltsu method. | will not ask for
weight limit, for | won't object to him
II he weighs 200 pounds, though | am
much lighter. | have the science and
strength of arm, shoulder and chest
to make up for the loss of weight.
"Jiu.jitsu Is brutal system, for It
aims to break arms, dslocate joints
and disfigure one in the worst man.
ner. II the jiu-jitsu opponent secures
a hold he will break the bones in any
part of the body on which he may Sc
cure hold. If he gets hold on the
throat, he will choke the wind out Of
you or dislocate the larynx. whicn
will paralyzo the vocal cords, and
the victim will be spoechless for
weeks. If he can get hold on the
face the fingers are stuck into the
eyes, and the eyes are pushed from
the sockets.
Now this may seem very good to
one who might be held up in dark
street by a murderous highwayman.
To cripple him would do no harm.
But the the very idea of teaching
young men who must be in perfect
physical condition. and in the SER
vice of the Government, an act of de-
fence which will disable a comrade
for life If it Is used in the way 1t
should be! Young men naturally lose
their tempers in such contest, ard
in an instant, without the slightest
thought of doing injury, one may
break an opponents arm.
"It is different in the American
system of attack and defence, for this
teaches one to be quick, graceful,
strong, honorable, brave and merci-
full. The object the American has IN
his defence is to punish his assailant
as rapidly as possible and yet do him
as little injury as possible.
"It is a surprise to me that more
women do not learn the art of self
defence. A blow from woman's deli
cate hand will hurt a man more than
blow from the strong hand of
man. 1t is the nervous shock that
does the harm, not the sting.
II am not opposed to Americans be-
ing progressive, and | am not jealous
of any method of defence, but | can
not see that America can accomplish
anything by studying japanese jiu-
jitsu."
