Young Men Should Marry,

Rev. Charles A. Martin, of the Ohio
Apostolate. says in his little book,
Cana that all young men, not called
to a higher life, should marry as soon
as possible, and make homes for
themselves. The biographies of the
rich and great" he says, "are bright
ened by the record of happy home
life, no less than the annals Of the
poor. Though the wife may be free
from the immediate work of the
kitchen and laundry and sewing room,
her services of still higher sort, are
none the less valued as they are none
the less needed. The memoirs of men
OF letters, authors, statesmen, scien-
lists and scholars are filled with ac-
acknowledgements of the immeasurable
debt those great ones of the world
have owed to their devoted hclpmates;
to the encouragement that spurred on
the tagging industry of De-Tocque-
vile; to the healing balm of love that
consoled with unfaiing checrfulness
and sympathy the long illness of Tom
Hood; to the confidence and respect
that stimulated the sluggish genius of
Sir William Hamilton to work worthy
of his powers: to the appreciation that
was the strongest incitement and to
the appreciation that was the sufficient
reward of the gigantic literary labors
of John Stuart Mills; to the peaceful
cooperation Of his worthy helpmatc
that made the home of Sir. Thomas
Moore the model for all England; and,
in general, to the tender heart, the
home of gentle innocence and ever
increasing affection, where the poor,
busy head Of man, tired and troubled
with the world and business and poll
tics and all things else, may find rest
and peace, and fountains of renewed
life and forctaste of the bliss of
heaven"

This statement is not correct. Allen
was a sincere ami practical Catholic.

his pious ana devoted mother, without
any attempt on tAe part of his father
to restrain him afrom following the
promptings of his conscience.
While in the Old Bailey, Manchester,

The Poor Jews,

An account of the terrible sufferings
OF the Jews in Russia, which we find
described in our evening paper recalls
an incident In our law practice many
years ago, says George II. Angel in
Our Dumb Animals"
A good deacon in Vermont had heard
SO much said by his pastor about the
wicked Jews that his sympathies were
aroused. and when he died and his will
was opened it was found that he had
left five hundred dollars to "thc poor
Jews The executor of the will wrote
me and asked me to find some DOOR
Jews in Boston. l employed a man to
make careful search, and was COM
PEELED to write the executor that we
could not find Il poor Jew in Boston.
This was something over forty years
ago, and there were few Jews in our
city, and they were all prosperous. We
believe the money was sent to some
society in New York
a friend asks us why the Jews nre so
terribly prosecuted in Russia, and we
answer that we do not know unless il
is the Russian way of converting Jews
into Russian Christians.
We remember reading how q very
wicked lrishmnn, when making his final
confession to the priest just before
dying, related so many crimes that the
priest asked him if he had ever done
a good thing in his life And he said
that he had done one good thing. The
priest asked him what il was. ana he
said, II convarted Il jew" "How did
you convert hm?" said the priest.
well, | had him out wild me i'm a boat
and axed him would he be a Chris
tian, and he said he wouldn't be n
Christian, so put him over the side of
the boat and put his head under water
nXcd him would he be a Christian, ana
he said he wouldn't, So then put his
head under water Il longer bit, and
when ! let him up aXcd him would he
be Christian. and he said he would
be a Christian. and so ] convartrd
him" "But how do you KNOW" said
the priest. that he remained cOnvcr-
ted?" "Oh, ] put his head under the
water the third time that he might die
in the faith.'
This seems very similar to the plan
adopted of converting Russian Jews
into Russian Christians.
In this connection we remember that
when Investigating the cattle question
some years ago, we found, by what
seemed to be rcliHblc statistics, that in
various European countries Jews lived,
on the average. about five years longer
than Christians, which was supposed
to result somewhat from the great care
taken by the Jews to eat only the meats
OF perfectly healthy animals.
We believe that the Jews take great
pains in this respect, and that Jewish
dealers in meats never put into their
meats. for the purpose of preserving
them, formaldchydc or other poisOns,
as is done. we fear, by not a few Of our
(SO-callcd) Christian dealers

matter of controversy, but the true

the fair form of the Immaculate sane
tuary long before the Church crowned
her on December Sth, 1854.
The Feast sanctifies our imagina-
ton, by presenting to us the image
of the purest of virgins: our minds,
by teaching us that we must, as far
as possible initiate the sanctity of
Mary, since we are to receive in COM
munion the same God, of whom she
was the mother; and our heart by in
spring us with the resolution to pre-
serve it from stain or to purify it
when stained with sin.

ITS MEANING G.
The Feast Of the Immaculate Concep
ton,

ton.
The Feast Of the Immaculate Con-
ception of the Blessed Virgin is cele-
brated December Sth. The Blessed
Virgin being destined to be the Moth
er of God, was preserved from orig
inal sin; this was due the honor of the
Three Persons of the Holy Trinity;
to the Father whose daughter Mary
was; to the Son, whose mother she
was; and to the Holy Ghost whose
spouse she was.
The meaning of the Immaculate
Conception is simply this: That in
view of the pre-applied merits of the
Redeemer, the Virgin Mother, who was
chosen from all other women to bear
him, was never for a single instant,
under the dominion Of Satan; and that
the tabernacle which He, for nine
months, inhabited, was never tainted
with the original taint of sin. 9th
erwise the ancient foe of human race
could make the spiteful boast that
there was a time when even she who
bore the Saviour was subject to Him.
1t is compatible with the supreme
holiness Of Our Lord that He who
can do all things would permit this
Satanic triumph, and therefore, both
reason, as well as the inspired teach
ing of the Church, confirms the be-
lief of all the Christian centuries, that
in view Of her exalted prerogatives,
and by the pre-applied merits of the
Divine Child, she was destined to bear,
Mary, the second Eve who was prom
ised to the primeval pair as one who
would crush the serpents head, was
conceived absolutely Immaculate
The Immaculate Conception is an
article of faith, having been solemnly
defined by Plus TX, after consultation
with the bishops throughout the whole
church. From the twelfth century the
Immaculate Conception has been a

fning their policy as to the future.
Unless they order a dissolution with
out meeting the Parliament, they can
be attacked on the points on which they
are believed to disagree. Those points
will be ventilated freely during the
election, but it would be comfortable to
make Mr.. Campbell ll-Bannerman and
Mr.. Asquith contradict each other in
the House. >
The Irish .question, of course, is that
which the Liberals find it least easy to
come to an agreement on. Lord Rose
berry has sowed the seeds of discomfort
with the Gladstone policy with great
assiduity and has fascinated more than
one of the younger leaders of the party.
But the quiet persistence of Mr.. Camp
bell-Bannerman in his adherence to the
policy of Mr.. Gladstone is producing it's
effect. He has not sought any quarrel
with Lord Rosebery, or even referred
to him by name. But he has shown the
u1ooCAASIS 41olll tAlC 1eulS putty
that the body of the party and its ac-
cepted leaders agree in accepting the
Home Rule policy for Ireland as an es-
tablished part of the Liberal policy.
Mr.. Asquith and Sir Edward Grey are
the two men whose desertion from the
party on this issue was most feared.
But Sir Edward intimates his willing
ness to take office under Mr.. Campbell
Bannerman; and Mr.. Asquith has gone
SO far as to say:
Neither nor any other leader of the
Liberal party, as l believe, has ever
gone back in spirit or letter on Mr..
Gladstones policy. 1 am as profound
ly convinced as l ever was that the
present system of government in Ire
land is irrational and unavoidable. 1t
fails entirely to associate the people
of Ireland with the administration of
their own affairs; and am of the opin-
ion, as l always have been, that, sub
ject always to the paramount control
Of the Imperial Parliament, the gradual
association of the Irish people with the
management of their own affairs, step
by step, should be the aim and ideal of
the Liberal policy in regard to Ire
land"
This indicates also what is likely to
prove the shortcoming of the Liberal
party in dealing with the question. They
are not going to make this new Parlia-
ment a Home Rule Parliament" They
are not going to introduce and press
any such measures as Mr.. Gladstone
put forward in 1885 and 1892. Grad
ual, step by STEP" are likely to be the
watchwords of Liberals in dealing with
Ireland, somewhat after the fashion
suggested by Lord Dunraven and his
fellow landlords.
The indications also are that the Lib
erals will have such a majority in the
House as will enable them to carry out
their policy independently of the Irish
vote. The dissenters know that without
that the repeal of the education act will
not be certain, since the act was passed
by the help of Irish votes Upon that
repeal they have set their hearts, and
they probably will be able to carry
enough of the English constituencies, in
addition to all the Welsh and almost
all the Scotch, to undo what Mr. Bal
four-a Scotch Presbyterian-did for
Anglican parish schools. Naturally, we
all would like to see Ireland's Eighty
two hold the balance of power; but !
think it unlikely.
