tolers to pass a resolution condemning the educa-
tional clauses of the Northwest Autonomy Bills is
by no means apparent: it is wholly imaginary. and

truths supernaturally revealed and pertaining to
the supernatural order
Faith being supernatural virtue whereby one
beleyes without doubt whatever God has revealed to
man because He reveals it. must rest on the author
lty ana yeraclty OF God, Who has the right to com
mand and Who propose only the
truth as the object of faith. 1t differs from the
knowledge of the exact sciences which is demon
strable, because 1t demands assent not BY evidence
but by the authority of the speaker Hence. St.
Paul says Faith is the substance of things hoped
Tor the evidence of things that appear not;n and
ot Augustine testifes to the same effect, saying
that Faith is to believe what YOU see not When
our Lord demanded faith in the truths which He
revealed, He did so ON the authority of God and
this was sufficient MY doctrine Is not Mine bt5
His Who sent Me-
As faith is belief on the authority of God speak
ing, 1t presupposes the existence of God also the
1nfallblty OF His word together with the fact that
He has revealed Himself Assuming that man Is
reasonably satisfied that these three conditions are
present before he can elicit an act of faith, he
must be certain that the supernatural truths pro-
posed for his belief actually contained in the
revealed word; because, if there is a mistake in in
terpreting the revealed word, then he believes not
what God has revealed but something different
Faith demands that one, believing in the re-
vealed word must believe in it in the genuine sense
Ii ones faith does not grasp the revealed words in
their genuine sense, then he does not believe Gods
word, but something else. But to be sure that one
has the genuine sense, there must be some authority
that is extrinsc and competent to Judge as to what
the genuine sense Is. Faith in supernatural truths
which are incomprehensible to natural reason de-
mands such witness to judge-not only compe-
tently but infalliby-what that genuine sense is.
and without such witness it is impossible for one
to be certain that the act of faith which he ELECTS
is the faith which God demands, and which viii
merit life eternal. ~He who believes not shall be

Republican" writing in Truth is furnishing
series of articles relating to the eight-hour law
decision that are interesting and instructive His
contention that Justice Harlans dissenting opinion

tact that the modern methods of production, in

of principles opposed to all sound reason and com

excellent merits of western Catholic institutions

The writings of Bishop England have ever been
ranked with the best literature produced in this
country, by men who are most comperen,
to Judge in matters literary. 1t is cause for rs

as the average reader, even Of the best Htcratur,

"The Golden Age Of Labor is the title of an
article that is just now being accorded wide cir
culation through the medium of the press 1t is
from the pen of John J. Bealin and affords an
elucidation of the ades-guild system which

four years ago, upon hearing the brilliant Rabbi
Friedman-who justly ranks very high through
