The Church and Her Teachings the
Savior OF Society.

Man is by nature a being fashioned
for society. His instincts, his needs
demand society: they demand the guar
antees and the encoura gements OF
society. He depends for his existence
and for his growth upon the family
the first of all social units: individual
and family depend for the undisturbed
enjoyment of their most sacred rights
upon the higher social form-the state
1t is the superior ability of the body
polite that secures life. liberty and
the pursuit of happiness"
The great movements which inn
prove and elevate the human race
spring from the emulation which So
Getty supplies, and they are carried to
success through the coordination OF
distinct forces under the law of unity,
which is the abiding principle of order.
power and beauty. For man the
absence OF social organization means
much warfare with his fellows, the
paralysis of his energies, and barbar-
ism as his permanent condition. Man,
the perfectible being as nature intend
ed him, is not possible outside of So
ciety.
Society requires a central authority,
a government. We are here con-
fronted with the great problem which
linderlies all philosophical constr &C
ton of society upon principles which,
while guarding it from anarchy, will
guard il with no less jealousy from
despotism.
Anarchy is the total disruption of the
social framework Authority is needed
to avert this evil; but authority sug-

gests the danger of an evil no less IA
tai, the abuse of authority, or despot-
ism, which, under pretence of wardlne
off ruinous rioting, brushes out with
iron heel the rights which it was IN
stituted to preserve. Anarchy and des-
potism are the Scylla and Charybdls
of civil society. Death turks in both
and will come as surely and swiftly
from one as from the other.
Never in the history of the world
was the difficulty of the social problem
felt so keenly by humanity as it is to-
day. Society is unstable; it reels as
if drunk with wild passion. At one
moment it is trembling on the brink OF
final dissolution amid the clamors and
violence of Communists and Nihilists;
at another il is rushing with the mad

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

1t has become evident that the senti-
ment of the Catholics of the country
demands the opening of the lecture
rooms and Laboratories of the Catholic
University to young men prepared to
follow undergraduate courses. The
number of Catholic young men in the
High schools throughout the country
who are equipped to profit from the
unusual facilities offered I'm the scien-
tific work especially is very large. Then
students are of an age when they can
not be subjected to the non-Catholic
influences which dominate in univer-
sites of equal equipment. Since the
university has appealed to the Catho-
lies of the United States. it seems only
just that the work of a large corps of
professors of unusual emipence to-
gether with an excellent apparatus,
should be placed at the service of every
young man capable of taking advan-
tage of the opportunities offered. The
undergraduate courses are so arranged
that they lead without deviation to
practical success in life.

TRlELING With EAlrH.

Too many Catholics hold their faith
too lightly, and do not appreciate al
anything like its true value this most
precious of all gifts. They are proud
of being Catholics, ready to boast of
being Catholics, ready sometimes to
fight for their faith, when they do not
show its influence on their lives They
regard ii as kind of Inheritance come
down from a long line of ancestors who
preserved it amid a thousand trials
and prosecutions. and which, as a mat
ter of course. they are to transmith
unsullied to future generations.
But here is the fallaCy-it is no heir
loom, entirely at their behest and under
their control. 1t is a precious gift from
the garden of God, His gift to man,
that will live i'm this cold world of ours
only by constant care, that can thrive
and blossom only by the most jealous
and anxious watchfulness. Those who
are ever ready to criticise the Church
and its teachings, to arraign priest
Bishop, and even the Vicar of Christ
himself before the court of their judg-
ment, are playing a dangerous game
Their faith is III danger. Those who
neglect their religious duties, who
Sylnpathize with every rebellion
against the constituted authority in
the Church. have faith that is rapidly
dying and that needs a miracle to save
and restore it.
Men live and men die, but the
Church remains You cannot sever
faith from the Church Cut off from
the Church, faith is lost in this land,
where vice and error in every form
and under every seductive guise
menace our faith We need especial
watchfulness. Every parent should
implant into the heart of his children
a love for the faith and high idea of
its value that through life they may
look upon the very idea of losing it as
the greatest of perils. They should
instil it into their mind that loyalty
to the constituted authorities. above
all. to the Vicar of Christ. is one of
the greatest guarantees of faith

years, is still strong in her conserva-

of her founder. Not persecution or
calumny or ridicule or the machina-
tons of willy governments have been
able to swerve her from thu path of
duty. She has guarded zealously the
sacred legacy which she received from
the apostles. and the gates of hell have
not prevailed against her. Sceptics and
atheists may have been irreverent in
derision of her dogmas. but neither
