The text treats of the use and misuse OF
the godly attributes wherewith man Is en-
dowed, and by which he is to work his
own destiny.
Who is wise enough says the prophet, to
corprebend the ways of the Lord, to
fathom the exact line of order marked out
in His divine plan of creation? And who Is
intelligent to follow the path of virtue and
goodness unswervingly, to maintain the
perfect state of righteousness in the fulfill
meut of religious duty?
What is it we call religion? The knowl-
edge and conviction of a higher power that
steers the course of man and nation, and
whose eternal justice is indicated in all
the affairs of the world. A proper regard
for such earnest, religious faith, which
stands firm under all sectarian emergency,
will insure the stability of race or COM
monweaith; while a demonstration of re-
ligion will stunt It's moral growth and re-
suit in an utter degeneration. This solemn
lesson we are daily taught in the life and
decay of nations, of the past well as
of the present.
It is safe to assert that the weakest point
in human society is the lack of a proper
understanding of religion. and the failure
to search its higher truth.
Thus. on the one hand we behold host
of misguided unbelievers hurting all sorts

OF missiles against religion, and keeping
up a constant harangue that religion, and
nothing but religion. is the cause OF all
human suffering. the stumbling block of the
ages. On the other hand. it is assumed
that lrreligion is responsible for all the
grave offenses committed against the law
of morality, for every manner of depravity
and all the havoc played amidst human So
ciety. How then shall these two contrast
ing opinions be accounted for?
Let us then. first of all, understand this
truth, that religion is not a thing of hu-
man making and establishment; nor is it
mere philosophy which may soon be
changed for any other form of thinking.
But religion is the ever-manifest striving
after perfection. the eternal and all-pre-
vailing spirit of righteousness. Religion
may present itself in various outward
forms. but its ideal is everlastingly the
same. Ceremonial religion Is only a means
for the accomplishment of the true end;
"A cloak to shield the human heart from
the GOODNESS of indiferentism and apathetic
disregard and it Is simply like the ma
tional attire. which must vary in every
land so long as nationalism exists But
the true spirit Of religion has existed from
eternity and will exist even when all ma
tionalIsm shall cease
How thus should any rational being dis
claim religion? How should one declare
war against the divine within man, the es-
sence Of virtue and of truth, of right-think-
ing and right-living? Religion in itself will
never become obnoxious to any man; not
unless the pure ideal thereof is Inundated
by the many devices of material aggran-
dizement. While religion rests on its spiri-
tual foundation holding fast to the broad
principles OF humanity. of cody freedom
and universal love, 1t is in perfect keeping
with the eternal spirit of righteousness,
with the attributes OF God Himself But
when religion has become terror to many,
a towerbastion of political exploit. a
means of strife and cruel persecution there
Is neither peace nor rest in the entire hu-
man family. and the result is none else

Free Lecture Course.

Arrangements have been made for a
course of free public lectures on sacred
Scripture to be given in this city by Rev.
DR.. John F. Fenlon, president of st. Aus
tins College. Catholic University. DR.. Fen
Ion is regarded as a profound scholar of
sacred Scripture.
For two years he gave public lectures IN
New York city under the auspices of the
Training School for Catechists. He will
conduct similar course In Washington this
winter at New Carroll Hall. 924 G street
northwest, beginning next Tuesday even
ing, November 81. at 7:30 o'clock, and con-
tinuing every other Tuesday.
The course Is intended to be especially
useful to Sunday school teachers, who will
receive Information which may be con-
yeyed to the children. Hints on the best
methods of imparting knowledge will also
be given. Many teachers have signified
their intention of entering the class.
The lecture course Is thought to have an
added Importance in the fact that through
1t there Is likely to be formed federal
ton of the Catholic Sunday school associa-
lions Of the city. BY such union knowl-
edge and experience In Sunday school work
would be disseminated.

All the furniture in the hospital is of

ceilings and floors of all the rooms are
curved so as to prevent accumulation of
cobwebs or dust, and every precaution has
been taken in the construction of the build

the dispensary and special operating rooms
there is a dark room used solely for ex-

The most improved style of sterilizing ap-
