Contradictory Teachings.

Almost every day brings TO our no
tice examples of the lack of cohesion
amongst those who have established
scots outside the Catholic church, the
church Of the living God, the center of
unity. Some weeks ago, the Rev. Mr..
Ross a Baptist clergyman OF this city.
placed himself upon record as being
very much opposed to theatrical per-
fornances. At the moment we forget
the exact words of the reverend gen
tleman, but we believe the meaning in
tended 10 be conveyed was that theat-
ricals were very demoralizing in their
tendency. We have now before us
press dispatch from St. Louis, Mo-,
dated the LIST of January, which says
that by a rising vote the congregation
Of the First Baptist church of East st.
Louis unanimously Endorsed the views
Of its pastor. Rev. Adam Fawcett, who
believes that dancing is a healthful eX-
ercise, and that indulgence in it is not
sin. and that the theatre is not wrong
or immoral"
Let us contemplate the Inconsistency
Of people who teach contradictory doc
trines preaching the gospel OF Jesus

What He Needs.

What the young man of today needs
in order to obtain success is not a
great number OF regulations and prob
erbs, but sincerity and earnestness
Get in earnest. If you do good work
and are commended and flattefed. as
you are very apt to be if you have
ability. do not let it turn your head
This is the first step of many a mans
downward course. They are forgotten
But the men who made cur history and
who are part of our history were
lmpelled through many a discoura ge-
ment and over many a barrier bv a
Wnole-souled and irresistible earnest
ness. BY llattery? No. BY blowing
their hOrns?" Not at all. These were
the last things they thought of. if in
deed they thought of them at all. They
got i'm earnest. and stayed in earnest.
and ultimately they saw the fruits of
their earnestness. Get in earnest and
the rest is bound to come.
Fix on the futures goal thy face.
And yet thy feet be lured to STAY
Now hither, but be swift to run.
And nowhere tarry by the way
Until at Ast the end is won:
And thou m1yest look back from tbv
place,
And see thy long days journey
done"

Returning Evil for Good

Before the French revolution France
was covered with cathedraIs and
churches, educational establishments
hospitals for the sick and asvlums for
the very young and the very old. All
We're parts of the possessions of the
church and in no way the property of
the crown or the state. They had been
built by private means. often by the
gift of some rich person: sometimes a
city. as an act Of thanksgiving. NAV
have contributed toward the building of
a church or of a shrine, but in no cas-
did this give them any proprietary
rights. Among those educated by char
ity by the bishop Of Arras was Robes
pierre. the leader of the revolution. So
far fIom being IN any way the recipi-
ents of state support the church was
able i'm time of need to help the gov
eminent, and At the time of the Amer
lean war of independence the church
provided the French government with
many millions, not ds lean, but as a
gift.-Professor Thomas Dwight of
Harvard University.

ARCHBISHOP KEANE.
oenounces Vigorously the Evils of
Child Labor.


! In sermon in the cathedral. Du-
/ buque, recently. Archbishop Keane de-
nounced the existence of child labor as
a menace to civilization. and deplored
the fact that thousands of children are
wearing out their young lives in facto-
ries at an age when they should be en-
joying the pleasures of childhood
The only condition under which
child labor is permissible, said the
archbishop is the case of a widow
who has several small children t. sup
port. and even then ii ought not be
permitted, but charity organizations
should step in and assist the widow i'm
order that her children may taste of
the joys of childhood and be given an
opportunity to receive all education.
that will enable them to become use
full members of society.
But this is not the class that is
furnishing recruits for the child labor
evil. More frequently the husband and
father is a drunken. lazy fellow who
will not support his family. and the
children at an early age are forced to
seek employment in some factory at a
mere pittance'
The archbishop expressed himself in
the strongest terms as opposed to child
labor and said that he would write to
the two Iowa senators urging them to
use their influence in congress for the
passage of a bill that viii make child
labor crime, and hat when the state
legislature takes it up he will do all in
his power to help il along, because, as
the archbishop declares. the children of
today are the men and women of the
future and must be protected.

Reverie in Country Graveyard.

Archbishop Glennon of St Louis. re-
Gently preaching to a large congrega-
ton in the new cathedral, found his
text in a recent tour of a small and
neglected graveyard. adjacent to rural
church. and upon i spoke as follows:
Last week | was out giving con-
firmation in one of tie woodland coun-
ties of Missouri and after several serv-
ices in the church. | wandered out into
the little cemetery which was there
as il should be evarywhere-the church
yard The long grass was browning
over the silent homes there and many
of the tombstones that had done duty
as sentinels of the dead were falling
into decay. There was a great silence
there, uninterrupted save by the leaves
falling from the trees and the winds
that, like wandering spirits, sang in the
tree tops natures requiem.
1T was place for meditation. alike
on life's vanities and deaths conquest.
There, beneath the charitable turf in
the democracy of death. the rude fore
fathers of the hamlet slept their once
restless hearts at rest forever. The

just, not despising the unnamed mound
of the iowly nor the marble cenotaph
that marked the graves of those of

a "Plenary Indulgence" Would you
be kind enough to tell me what it
means?
Auswer-A plenary indulgence is the

Christ using the power and authority
given her i'm these words of Christ:

power from the very beginning is evil
dent from II Co. ii. 10. Now there are
three things to be considered in regard
TO mortal sin: its guilt. the eternal pun
ishment due t. it and the temporal
punishment due to it. The Catholic
church teaches that after the eternal
enlistment of the sin has been remit
tea there still remains that temporal
punishment for which we ourselves
must satisfy either here or in purga-
tory. And then there are slight sins
which do not rob US entirely of the
friendship of God, but yet they require
some satisfaction. This, then. must all
he done by our own personal Satisfac-
ton in time. We can make use of these
means of satisfaction and to give more
merit to them. the church uses her au-
thGrity in attaching indulgences 10
particular prayers or good works. That
is. she grants a remission of so many
days or years, or sometimes of all the
temporal punishment due to sins that
have been repented for and forgiven.

The Reoime of Lent.

What is the origin of fasting?
Under the old law the Jews tasted by
The command of God: thus Moses fast
ed forty days and forty nights. on
Mount Sinai, when God gave him the
Ten Commandments: Elias. in like
manner. tasted i'm the desert. Jesus
also tasted. and commanded his apos-
lies to fast also. The Catholic church.
says ST. Leo. from the time of the
apostles, has enjoined fasting upon all
the faithful.
Why has the church instituted the
fast before Easter?
j. To initiate Jesus Christ. who fast
ed forty days. > To participate in his
merits and passion: for as Christ could
only be glorified through his suffer-
ings. so in order TO belong to him we
must follow him by a life answering to
his. 3. To subject the flesh to the
spirit, and thus 4, prepare ourselves
for Easter and the worthy reception Of
the divine lamb ). Finally, 10 offer to
God some satisfaction for our sins, and,
rs St Leo says. to atone for the sins
of whole year by short fast of the
tenth part Of year.
Was the fast of Lent kept in early
time as il is now?
Yes, only more vigorously; for: l.
The Christians of the early ages alb
stained not only from flesh-meat, but
from those things which are produced
from flesh, such as butter eggs, cheese.
and also from wine and fish. >. They
tasted during the whole day. and ate
only after vespers, that is, at night.
How shall we keep the holy season
Of Lent with advantage
We should endeavor not only to deny
ourselves food and drink. but still
more all sinful Qualifications. And as
The body is weakened by fasting. the

positive refusal to contribute to the

Many Important Alabama Laws.

only eleven days left in which to con
slider some of the most important bills
ever brought before the Alabama leg
islature, that body faces what promis-
es to be an exceedingly busy session.
While the election of a United States
senator and the codifying of the laws
are the primary objects of the present
assembly, there is to be a great
amount of legislation that will call for
spirited debates and the marshaling
of all possible influences for and
against. The length of the calendar
is such that its impossible for all the
pending bills to De accepted or re
jected this yea unless the governor
calls an extra session.
One of the most important measur-

that all insurance companies doing Blu
siness in Alabama shall invest so per
cent. of the money received in prem
iums in Alabama property. The pro
posed act mas the Endorsement of the
