ogden, Sept. 2S--It is a noteworthy
| fact that each of our sovereign pontiffs
has shown his zeal for the sheep of his
fold by the promulgatio of some spe-
cial devotion. One of the distinguish
ing characteristics of our present Holy
Father is the enthusiastic manner III
which he advocates the teaching of
Christian doctrine. Were it our happy
privilege to usher his holiness into st.
Joseph's church some Sunday morn
ing about $3.50, we feel sure a thrill of
qualification would overspread his pa
ternal countenance at the sight of the
goodly number of boys and girls listen
ing most attentivel-r to their inStruc-
tors, and replying in a very intelligent
{ manner to the sometimes difficult ques-
lions proposed.
Not little children alone compose
| these classes, but young men who have
begun the battle of life. and maidens
who possess all the delicate charms of
fair womanhood deem it not beneath
them to attend regularly each Sunday
morning catechetical Instructions
There must always be a motive power
back of such work, and in this case the
force is exercised by the ever-zealOus
pastor. Rev. p NJ Cushnahan, whose
views are in accordance with that Of
sanity educator, noble soul who CnCe
wrote in a stimulating letter: Let Us
ever aim not at the higher, but at the
highest education, whose chief object is
God, whom we study in his works. His
browning work is man. Study God.
Study man; in a word, study the little
cateehism which is the eDitome of all
knowledge
There is a tender devotion about the
hymns of the Church that always
touches the heart, and to the man or
woman grown old, and perhaps weary
waiting the end, the sweet refrain of
May carol, learned in childhood's
days, will touch fount of feeling
which might have been thought long
since exhausted During the summer
months Pensioners of ST. Joseph's
missed the beautiful. soul-stirring
hymns always rendered at first mass
on Sunday, but with the return of Sa-
cred Heart academy pupils were heard
| again the sweet voices that said good
bye last June.
To celebrate the Feast of Our Lady
of Mercy they sang the beautiful hymn,
Help of Christians" and while their
childish voices rang out fervently in
the notes of the refrain, older heads
and sadder hearts repeated
| AS we drift DER Deaths dark tide,
| o, Help of Christians, be our guide"
|, -
Schiller versus Moliere, or Carnellle
versus Goethe might well be the sub
| ject of debate between students of the
languages at Sacred Heart. Neither
Herodotus nor Homer claims eXtraordl-
nary attention, nor is Caesar, Cicero or
Virgil open to much discussion, but the
| German and the French pupils (as they
style themselves) are friendly rivals.
Such rivalry, however. is stiulating and
shows a spirit of study that is crafty
ing to teachers
The old adage. "There is no disputing
tastes seems the only way to settle
| the discussion: then, too, each pupil
should be influenced in her choice by
the end in view. for upon it will depend
progress but whether German philoso-
! ply or French verse claim the atten-
ton, earnestness in the work will in
evitably achieve extraordinary results.

The number of Salt Lakers who came
! to Ogden for a visit to Ogden canyon
and other attractions last Sunday
| seemed to be greater than during the
| heated season. The Oregon Short Line
| excursion was popular, and two more
| coaches were attached to each train,
coming and going. The canyon is now
at its best, the foliage having turned
and the variegated colors presented by
the crimson naples, the yellowed quak-
| ing asps and the green pines offer a
pleasing combination of natures colors.
From the sanitarium at the mouth of
the canyon past Lewis and the Hermit
tage at the Winslow place and clear to
the Oaks. the visitors congregated and
enjoyed the usual treat of gazing at
autumn leaves in a temperature of so
degrees.
The addition to the rear of the Rocky

nearing completion, and the cement roof
