Origin of the stations of the Cross"

Origin of the stations Of the Cross"
Historical Investigations made by
the Rev. Herbert Thurston seem to
prove the reverse of the common belief
concerning the origin of the stations
of the cross" These stations are the
objects of certain fixed forms of Cath
Ollie devotions representing scenes
commencing with the sentence of
death in the pretorium, and followed
by the taking up of the cross, the tirss
and second falls, the meeting with Our
Lady, Simon of Cyrene, Veronica, the
women of Jerusalem the third fall,
the stripping, etc, down to the deposit
ton and the tomb" These stations
are at the present day pointed out IN
various parts of the Via Dolorosa IN
Jerusalem, copies of which are sup
posed to have been transported to the
west; but the Investigations OF the
writer show that the stations were
first invented in the west and then
gradually transported to Jerusalem.
Saws The Catholic F'ortnightly Review,
est Louis)
"This is in essence the outcome OF
the investi alton. In the first place IT
is fairly we'll known that, down to say
the fourteenth century, the via dolor-
Iosa of Jerusalem fails to manifest any
definite existence. Various spots, how
ever, which have been embodied in the
series of the stations, are found lndl-
Gated piece-meal in old pilgrims and
chroniclers' writings. The following
are the earliest records of their APP
pearance in history: Pretorium, 1895;
receiving of the cross, 1475; meeting
Mary and Simon of Cyrene, 1896; Yer
onica's house, 1920 POSSIBLY 1880;
fail at the gate, 1888; women of Je-
rusalem, thirteenth century; third fall,
1885; stations on Calvary, 1888; dero-
sition and entombment 1921.
'sThe earliest sign of a special rec
ognition of via crucis seems to be
in the year 1851, but without any par
ticular allusion to definite stopping
places on the route. And the curious
thing is that where definite circuit
was followed it was always in the re-
verse Objectionable, from the site of
Calvary to the pretorium.
1.-TWO separate developments gradu-
ally took place-one in the East, the
other in the West In Europe devout
people were moved by devotion to set
up stations in churches and cloisters,
in order to make in spirit the Pilgrim
ages which they were unable to make
in reality. In Jerusalem itself paral-
lei growth took place of following
definite route from the pretorium to
Calvary, and into this route the vari-
Gus stations came gradually to be fit
ted.
"There was, however. great amount
of variation in the assignment of the
stations, both in Europe and Palestine

Certain Sorts of Ignorant Ministers.
We, frequently find people accusing
preachers and ministers of Ignorance
of the world. ignorance of current ut
erature and science, but they are sell
dom accused of Ignorance of theology.
In fact, it is frequently charged against
them that they know too much theoi-
ogy. that their intellectual habit is OF
Dry-as-dust character, and that the
theological seminary has killed in them
all humanism and almost all human
ity. They do not preach we'll because
they are mere theologians; they can
not sympa thiZe with common and or
dinay men engaged in the pursuits of
ordinary life, because their studies in
the seminary have frozen the natural
springs of spontaneity and genuine
feeling in their nature. They would,
in short. do better without their the
ology.
But theology, according to the Rev.
DIR p. I. Forsyth writing in the HID
Der Journal (London). is absolutely
necessary for the preacher. The apos-
ties indeed, were "unlearned and ig
norant men," but only with respect to
Greek and Latin literature and phios-
the fountain head of theology, which
was Christ Even piety and college
secular learning and science, says the
writer. are not sufficient equipment for
a preacher He needs a strict theo-
logical training, that he may at least
know the history of religious doctrine,
the raison d'etre Of formularies He
must know what good and earnest men
of the past have taught as Christianity.
BY this means he will avoid many in-
telectual pitfalls. many unintentional
errors, and will escape the delusion
that he has discovered as new what is
as old as the hills. The doctor says of
the manifold subjects taken UP by
young "theologs" who have no the
ology:
They should be discouraged from
accommodating all kinds of eXtraneous
degrees, and be made to concentrate
on the degree that belongs TO their
work. A variety of academic distinc-
tons in science, say, may still leave
them Juvenile In their religious mind.
with the tactlessnesS of the common
place. and total lack of moral mag
nation. Half the time bestowed on
Shakespeare would have served them
much better. No man is competent to
be teacher of the New Testament, or
to handle for the people, as ministe:
should. the greatest matters of faith
and mind, on the basis of an ordinary
degree without theological training. ]
do not care what cases you quote. 1t
is unjust to the Gospel to send out
men to pick up theology out of casual
reading and personal religion; for a
young man may issue from college
loaded with honors and with no Cos
pei at all--nothlng beyond raw Chris
ton piety. He has then to experim ent
with church in acquiring convictions
which should have been his message
He is apt TO announce as discoveries
things long left as debris in the route
of discovery, and to parade as new
what due knowledge of the past would
have shown to be not only old but SUI
perannuated. 1t is not respectful to
churches. 1t slackens their tone and
their testimony. And in no other pro-
fession would it be tolerated.

fact that the earthquakes at San Fran

when there were many serious earth
quakes, the same conditions obtained.
1t was not yet fully known whether
there were laws controlling the recur-

of investigation, but such investiga ton
would involve great expense. The

The Garden Island says:
was right in most of his contentious
regarding the Nuuanu dam and the
Governor has concluded that Kellogg is
right. The latter part of the result
will be highly satisfactory to the public
and no doubt to Patterson.
There is another side of this question
in which the people feel considera BILE
curiosity, as doubtlessly does Patter-
son. and that is whether the vindica-
ton of his opinion is the only thing
that the latter is going to get out of it.
He had the courage to stand up for
the public against his employers and
as a result had to get out. He lost his
job and salary during the time of the
controversy. Is the administration go
which he has proved himself to be
qualified? And is it going to pay him
the salary which would have been his,
if he had not been forced out of his
either right or wrong?
Fearless men, doing their duty to-
wards the community, are not so
plentiful in public service that they
crowd each other. They are, however, |
the kind that are needed, and above
all in such positions as inspectors and
the like who are appointed to see that !
he public gets full value for it's
money and that errors or worse do not
,ause damage to the public's treasury

BY all means, reinstate Patterson and

hat, buG promote him to still more re-
possibility and higher pay as soon as
here is an opening.

OAKLAND SOCIETY ON THE
CASE OF MISS DOWSETT

: invitation. And the thought of the
elderly Gray, the father Of her crate
! full lover, never entered into her calcu
! lations at all; it was not the father OF
Prentiss Gray she intended to marry
| although it is likely that she would
have fished the father of Prentiss out
of the water as eagerly as she snatched
the athletic son from watery crave.
In that dire circumstance the peril of
father would have appealed with
equal force to the heroine of this
romance; when lives are to be rescued
there is no time to debate age, sex or
condition of the gentlemen in extremis.
Miss Dowsett did not debate-she
plunged in like Cassius and bore the
fainting Caesar to the shore.
WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE WITH
DOLLARS.
Then the father objected. Why he
objected is not clear. The Industrious
and omniscient press neglects to tell
us wherein Miss Dowsett was not con-
sidered good enough for Prentiss Gray,
especially after Prentiss had given him
self to the young woman. Tt is sus-
pected that the elder Gray didn t want
to waste his long accommodating dollars
on a comparatively penniless daughter
in-law, and this suspicion is borne out
by the excuse that young Gray gave
Miss Dowsett for breaking their en-
gagement: namely, that his father had
threatened to cut him off with the
proverbial shilling or quarter, if ne
kept his pledge to marry the young
woman. So they parted; Miss Dowsett
announcing that she intended to marry
a man, not cad; and Prentiss retiring
to the seclusion OF the paternal home
where his father counts his accumulat
ing dollars and meditates codicils to
his will. And the next day she mar
ried man. Altogether it is one of
those "'human interest stories'' that
delights the heart of the newspaper
man because it delights the hearts of
everybody else. Now Prentiss Gray is
from the wiles of woman, for
no woman with honorable intentions
will dare to rescue this football hero
again. Therefore he will either have
to learn to swim or keep away from
water over his head Especially
should he avoid the water in company
with a woman whom his father is
likely to disapprove. The chances are
that Prentiss Gray will live to good
old age unloved, unless his share of his
fathers dollars can win the love and
devotion of some woman who can t |
swim and who would be compelled to
let this athletic young man drown if
he fell into the water in her pres
ence

Town Talk says: Oakland is divid-
affair. Some of the people who live
! in Oakland think Miss Dowsett should
! have sued Father Gray for alternating
! his son s affections after they had
been pledged to Miss Dowsett; others
! would advise the son, Prentiss Gray,
to sue his father for libel in subject
! ing him to the ridicule and raillery of
the community. Objection is raised by
few to the first proposition, on the
hypothesis that Prentiss Gray had no
affections to ALLEVIATE; and the second
postulatum is seemingly nullifed by
the circumstance that young Gray was
a willing accomplice after the fact. 1t
is needless to say that Oakland is much
wrought I'D over the incident and the
matter is food for gossip from the
academic groves of Berkeley to the
shady avenues of the encinaL. Old
maids chuckle over it in the Ebell;
staid matrons are properly shocked by
it as they whisper the details out Of
earshot of rubbering maldens IN the
Hillside Club; the maldens aforesaid
chortle their approval of Miss Dow
sets action on the golf links and IN
the tennis courts; fond mammas with
sons to spare warn their offspring to
bring their troubles to their mothers
before they attempt to bestow them
upon strange women; fathers with
daughters utilize the episode as text
from which to preach sermon on
knowing your own mind, my dears,
and not permitting any man to make
a monkey of you.'
A HEROINE AND HER HERO.
All the world knows by this time,
thanks to an Industrious and omnis-
Gent press, that Prentiss Gray was a
football hero who had never learned to
swim. One day he went out on the
water with Miss Dowsett, Honolulu
lady and therefore semi amphibian.
Gray fell overheard and would have
drowned if he had not been rescued
by Miss Dowsett. In the first wild |
outburst of gratitude Gray offered |
himself to Miss Dowsett as partial
payment for the service she had rem
Tered him. 1t wouldn't have been good |

$40, and Gray would have |
scorned to offer her less. Miss Dow
