Equality to All.

A writer in the London Daily News
in describing his impressions of High
Mass on a Sunday morning at West
minister Catheral, says: "A few yards
away from me is a man of about SIS,
whose coat is tightly buttoned to con-
ceal his lack of shirt The coat itself
is torn and ragged, and as he kneels
see that the soles of his boots are al
most gone. The face is a sad, weary
one tanned by exposure, lined by anx-
iety; the features are small and refined.
No one is more devout. He sets me
musing. Into how many churches
could you have wandered, my brother,
without being stared at with eyes not
altogether friendly-supposing indeed,
you had been admitted and had been
given seat? But here thou canst sit
besides ladies in dresses the most
exquisite brains can devise or money
purchase, without a single curious
glance to make thee feel thy lack.
AS it is in Westminster Catheral, so
is 1t in every Catholic church through
out the world. The man wearing over
alls or the woman apparalled in calico
is welcomed and seated in the churches
of Catholicity with the same courtesy
as any lady in silks or satins or furs
or as the gentleman" dressed in
broadcloth. Jesus in the Blessed Sac
rament hears the prayer and appeal of
Lazarus, made with a sincere heart
just as he listens to the duplication of
those whom he has blessed with wealth.
Ofeourse there may be few in every
parish who in their pride of heart look
down on rags and poverty. But, thank
God, they are few. No practical Cath
Ole would refuse to sit beside broth
er or sister in religion who happens to
be dressed according to circumstances
of life, and the Catholic who looks
down upon the man or woman in
church on account of their raiment is
Catholic only in name. The Saviour did
not call men of wealth and fashion to
fulfil his earthly mission. The Apos-
ties were not arrayed in broadcloth
Mary, the Mother of the Divine Jesus
Wore simple garments. The Saviour
was born into the world amid humble
surroundings.

What Is a Liberal Catholic.

From time to time we hear not o
little with regard to the Liberal Cath
Ollie, says the Citizen. 1t may be we'll
to describe some of his earmarks. Here
are few:
1. He is the man who doesn't care
to take Catholic paper. In his opin-
ion it is bigoted.
2. He is the mar who doesn't pay
much to support the Church. He claims
the priest doesn't suit him.
3. He is the man who always sees
much to admire in the public school
system. He went send his children to
a parochial SCHOOL
1. He is the man that constantly
sees lot of god in Professionalism and
warts the Catholic Church to follow
its example
5. He is the man who is always
ready to assert that the Catholic
Church is making mistake in warm
ing against the Freemasons and So
cialists.
6. He is the man who gradually
drifts away from the Church, loses
faith, and only re-enters when on his
death-bed. Strange to say, he wishes
to be on the safe side.
Z. He is the man, almost invariably,
whose actions in life are such that
the faith is brought into disrepute by
him. He is an autocrat and an OPP
pressor, if rich; if poor, disposed to
be revolutionary.
s. Wherever he exists it is a pity
he claims the Catholic name. The
Church would be better off without

THE CHURCH IN FRANCE.

The bill for the separation of Church
Chamber of Deputies last July was
adopted by the Senate last week. The
bill has. therefore. become a law and
the ConcOrdat which for upwards of a
century has been the law regulating the
relations of Church and State of
France has been abrogated. The
present law provides for the payment
Of small amounts to existing prelates
and clergy until their death but the
State will no longer be responsible for
the support of any religion. Heretofore
the French government has provided
for the support of the Catholic. Jewish
and Evangelical Protestant Churches
1t is common understanding In this
country that the Catholic Church was
the only one to receive aid from the
French Government. The Jews and
Professionals received aid in the same
proportion as the Catholic Church but
inasmuch as there We're only few
Jews and Professionals the amount APP
propriated to those bodies was small in
proportion to the amount contributed
to the support of the Catholic Church.
1t was also the common belief that the
law recently passed provides for abso-
lutte separation Of Church and State,
We see frequent mention in the public
press about a free Church and free
State" This impression is also wrong
Under the new law all Church edifces
and other Church property that existed
when the Concordat was signed reverts
to the State and there is provision
that such Churches may be leased or
sold to local religious associations
which associations must be formed
under government regulations and re-
main under strict government control.
In this country the Church is absolute
ly free. 1t may own and use it's prop
erty as it sees fit without government
ment proposes to decide what associa
lions may or may not hold Church
property. In this way the government
will exercise a supervision over relig-
ious worship. 1t will be seen, therefore
that the French civil government while
it processes to give to the Catholic
Church liberty of action actually re-
tains control over the Church while
Withholding from it all pecuniary
assistance which it has hitherto given.

been brought into such prominent and
unfavorable notice are to be pitied in
their plight. Their action, however,
was such an open and public defiance
OF a strict order of the governing Bish-
op that no other action was left. The
Church will get along without them;
whether they desire to get along with
out the Church remains to be seen.
One thing is certain, it will not do in
these days for Catholics to maintain
that they are opposed to divorce and at
the same time encourage and acquiesce
in it by recognizing and receiving di-
vorced people.

The court of appeals Of New York,
by a vote Of five judges against two,
/; has decided that Mr.. Hearst's applica-
ton to have the ballot boxes re-opened

coed to claim that the court Of ap-

Even the Tories admit that the new
Liberal ministry is a strong one. The
only. two prominent Liberals not in
cluded in the ministry are Lord Rose
berry and Sir Charles Dixie. Lord
Rosebery's apostasy on the Home Rule
question made him an impossibility and
Sir Charles Dilke's great ability has
not been able to restore him to the
place to which his abilities entitle him
and from which he was dethroned be-
cause Of his moral delinquencies.

FROM THE IRON RANGE.

Eveleth. Mimi, Dec. 15.-Pamphlets
were distributed at the churches last
Sunday. through the state board of
health, warning the people of the dan
gers of eXpectorating in public places

tuberculosis. It is very timely article
and the warning should be needed by
all.

A movement is on to annex the loca-

with favor by the residents of the To-

Much adverse criticism has been
started over the determination of the
administration to use the old frigate
Constitution for gun practice and to
sink her at sea. The people Of this
country are attached to the famous
old ship and the determination of the
navy department to use her as target
arouses keen disappointment and re-

died this Indian squaw took off her own
clothes and wrapped them about her
baby. Then with her naked body she
lay down upon the ice to shield her child
from the fierce winds and cuddled the
little one close under her naked breast.
So the divine Christ has come to us. He
has placed his body between us and the
evil results of our sins, and today upon
the cross he says: "Oh, sinner, come to

OS ANGELES, Cal. August 6-In
this sermon the preacher takes for
IL his theme the hidden voices that
call men to evil courses and british in
diligence and those that call us to higher,
nobler and better living. The text is
Ecclesiastes X, 90 For a bird of the
air shall carry the voice, and that which
hath wings shall tell the matter"
Ever since my boyhood days, when
John Brown introduced me to "Rab and
His Friends" animal stories have had
for me a complete fascination. Seton
Thompson Lives of the Hunted" his
wild Animals That I Have Known"
his Biography of a Grizzly and his
Trail of Fanhill Stag Rudyard Kip
lings Jungle Tales" Marshall Saund-
ers' Beautiful joe and Miss Anna Sew
ellis BLACK Beauty offer the widest
range for the imaginative writer and the
greatest opportunities for pressing home
moral truths But, though many books
have been and are being written whose
heroes and heronines are covered with the
shaggy names of the wild beasts or with
the glossy coat of the domestic animals,
by far the most interesting animal story
/ have ever read is Jack London's call
of the Wild" Mr.. London was very
young man when he wrote his MASTER
piece, yet that story has found an al
most universal appreciation. There are al
ways many voices calling us down to sin
and back to ancestral evils.
This sentiment stirred my heart when
I first read the book. 1 was in railroad
