est soil! good home is ordinarily one of the
greatest blessings which can come to children, but
a good home is not always with the finest drap-
cries nor yet one with uncarpeted floors. good
home is wherein adequate provision is mad9
for the creature comforts of its inmates and there
is sufficient companionship of parents with children
to make pleasurabe the life of both. The average
boy must be given opportunity to develop his pow
ers, and it is the duty of parents to make the at
fractions of the home more potent than the at
fractions of the street. for it is in the street that
proper channels the activities of boys and girls is
the prime duty of parents.
The church occupies much the same position
for the grown up boys and girls as do parents to-
ward their children, and its influence is exerted
upon those who attend the services regularly more
strongly than upon those who wander off upon the
streets, where they learn more evil than good. 1t
is but natural, therefore, that regular attendance
should be urged. We would assure those whose at
tendance may be only an occasional visit that there
are mighty few men and women who ever learned
any evil in Gods edifce. If children get a right
start i'll life they become church attendants and
members and all through their lives the duty all
owe to God is pleasurable to them. which, as
the years roll on and the benefcent influences Of
the church are realized, becomes one wherein TO
sacrifice of personal comfort would lead one to
forego,
1t is not question of individual liberty wheth-
shall attend the church services We owe
it to ourselves, to society and to God.

PERSlFLAGE.

| Newspaper rivalry helps to make newspapers
more or less readable To win success newspapers
must print the news This gives them a wide cir
culatlon, and it follows that advertisers like to
place their ads in a widely circulated medium and
are willing to pay for it. III the good old days
of the results of this rivalry was a never-ceasng
quarrel carried between the editors which, start
ing with references to "our esteemed contempor-
ary," wound up with '1oathsome feon whose vitu-
peration" ETC. Now this was great stuff some TWEEN
ty or thirty years ago back in the middle western
states between country papers, and made people talk
as they dangled their feet over hitching rack i'll
front of the grocery store. But it has fallen into
disuse, and we look over our exchanges from the
state and find little of interest except to home folks
in any of them. Only once in a great while does
worthy country editor hurl defiance at ri
val. and it has been years since we have the
personality of brother editor attacked, called bad
denounced in "unmeasured terms"
While this pleasant pastime has been almost for
gotten and replaced by tales of prosperity dread
full warnings of adversely, can feel only regret
that it has been lost to American community life,
Of course, amateur editors jumped into the breach
and filed their columns with weak and silly phrases
and took from the mighty welders of the pencil
much of the glory of their thunderous pauses, and
thus brought the whole business into disrepute SO
the growth of the poor imitation no doubt put the
real thing out of the running, and this is all the
more cause for regret. 1t used to be that newspa-
per quarres developed fine satirical style, biting
sarcasm and trenchant wit. If we were attacked
had to laugh to make believe we did not feel the
keenness of the pencil point, But it all degenerat
ed, and if are now called brother and an ass

forgiveness, for the poor fellow who wrote thus

aration is no longer a mere schism but formal
heresy.
CD Yes their bishops are validity ordained and
can confer the sacrament of Holy Orders, but they
have no episcopal jurisdiction, therefore no au-
hority to govern the faithful. nor in defining the
faith In seeding from the Catholic church they

character carries no jurisdiction nor authority IN

any episcopal function till his jurisdiction IS as

must be apostolic as well as Episcopal.
The Greek church could not be apostolic, because
when in communion with the Roman Catholic it
formed one corporate body with it. Before the
separation and whilst in communion with 1t the
Roman Catholic church the true church or 1t

arated from the Catholic church.

dislike of the Irish, that they take Irish names when
arrested"
The great majority of the police force in our
cities the chiefs, captains, sergeants and men of
the file Irish or Irisb-Americans. They are
chossl, not because they are Irish or of Irish de-
scent, but for their size strength, intelligence and
activity. Their selection and promotion is I'M
conscious compliment to their religion and their
Celtlc blood. Moreover, many of the justices or
magistrates before whom petty criminals tried,
are OF the same race and religion as the police
Now, all the tramps, hoboes sneak thieves and hold
up men know this, they have talked it over and
threshed 1t out many times and because they do
know It, they give Irish names when landed in the
cells with the hope that the police and magistrates
will be more lenient with their own kith and kin
The sectarlan preacher who was arrested in North
Chicago the other day, and gave his name as Rev
Mlchaei hllcullen, did so, not to reflect upon the
Catholic priesthood, but to appeal to the religious
sympatmes of the magistrate for dismissal"
We asked Mr.. Fitzpatrick if these criminals
profted in any way by the attempted deception.
No. he answered "emphatically no. We are
harder on them for the disgrace they would fasten
An Irishman or an Irish American gets
pretty stiff dose when dragged before a Catholic
justice for the dishonor he heaps upon his race
and creed, and the other fellows who take Irish
names gets fayed also. and let me tell YOU" CON
cluded the detective, they get more kicks than
nickels from u.s."
When this valuable streamlet of information
percoates through the cerebeIla of tramps. thieves
and DRINKS there will be fewer Irish names ON the
police court dockets.

CHURCH AND HOME.

In the strenuous reformation of American pub
lie life which has been going on for the past few
years there has been expression of the will of the
people as well an appeal to the of justice
and morality which nearly everybody processes but
which is too frequently allowed to lapse at times
when profit the individual is seriously affected by
following the course which honesty dictates as the
best policy. The general principle of individual
liberty has engendered false conceptions of the duty
which the individual owes to society. There is
probably nothing more destructive to good order,
and, hence, of good government, than the wrong
Interpretation Of the meaning of individual liberty.
1t does not contemplate in its rightful meaning the
right to do as pleases irrespective of what eff
feet ones actions may have on his fellows, even if
laws and rules of conduct do not directly conflict
with the actions.
1t is pretty hard to believe the modern sociolo
gist that all the evil tendencies of the individual
be traced directly to the home training the lack
of it. 1t is equally unbelievable that the church is
responsible for all the impurity manifested in the
lives of the American people. The church and the
home are no doubt the strongest institutions max
ing for good citizenship, and no doubt they would
be much more powerful if it we're possible to di-
Vorce each OF them from the tendency Oh the lndl-
viduals which compose them to drag them down.
The home can be no purer than the individuals
comprising it, and the church can only approx
mate the perfection of its divine founder its
members endeavor to so conduct themselves as to
reflect the love and emulate the example set by
Jesus Christ
1t Is natural that unwholesome home life
should develop unwholesome progeny, but even
So, does not the sweetest rose grow from the black

NOT A HEALTH RESORT.

Kansas is prohibition state. with its capital
at Topeka, city of 33G08 population, according
to the census of 1900, as given i'll our compendium
of useless information There are no saloons in
Topeka, if we are correctly informed since Carrie
Nation put them out of business The laws of
Kansas limit the sale of malt, vnous and sprituous
liquors to drug stores and by these only on affda-
WIT that the same is to be used for medicinal pur-
poses-aganst the ravages of coughs, colds Group
collie, consumption, to alleviate the suffering at
tending other ills that flesh is heir to.
During the month of May the drug stores of
Topeka made 21,323 "sales" of these prohibited
goods. A sale may be half pint or gallon of
whisky or bottle or a case of beer. Allowing a
quarter of the total sales to be refing of prescrp
tons for confirmed nvalids, the report shows nearly
half the population of Topeka to be on the sick list
total of 1866. This is terrible condition.
and it is surprising the mortality reports have not
been greater.
On the. face of figures we must conclude
that Topeka is about the most unhealthful spot on
the face of the earth that the weather in Kansas
during May was the most unpropitious of any in
the country, We trust the people have mostly re-
covered.

GREEK SCHISM.

Editor Intermountain Catholic: | have read
with great interest your article on "Catholit
Teaching Explained" That Greek priests in com
munion with the Catholic church were allowed TO
marry was news to me- This information has sug-
gested to my mind certain questions which would
| like you to answer.
First, has not there been an entire separation
between the Greek church and the Catholic church
since the seventh century, Secondly were not the
extraordinary claims of the Pope the cause of the
schism? Thirdly, what was the real difference. and
why we're they termed schsmatics and not heretics
Fourthly, not their bishops validity ordained,
and if so why should not their administrations be
as good as that of your ordained ministers?
If you deem these questions worthy of an an
swer it will be appreciated by one who is anxious
to learn. CONSTANT READER
Salt Lake, June II, 1907.
Replying to esteemed correspondent we
would simply say that the schsm to which he refers
was merely temporary. The real separation was
not effected till the eleventh century Still later,
in the fifteenth century, at the Council of Flor
ence, the Greeks renowned their error. and asked
to be received back into the bosom of the church.

chair of Peter At the close of the fourth century
after the death of Theodoseus the Great the Roman
empire was divided and ruled by his sons. There
were the Empire of the East and the Empire of the
West. The Western Empire suffered from the con-
quest of the northern barbarians and lost much of
It's prestige, whilst that of the East advanced in
arts, science and civilization. As Peters chair
could not or would not be transferred to the can

no other than that of pride did they refuse
submission to Rome where the Pope reigned The
Pope was, in way, responsible for the schism.
The secular rulers of the Western Empire who were
harsh in their treatment of the Eastern rulers there
by embittering their PRIDE may have inhamed their
hostility to such extent that it finally led to the
schism.

Ghost did not proceed from the Father and Son
but from the Father alone as first principle, and
from the Son only as medium. The reason why they

the claims of advocates of the principle of NUM-

but its practical application is a problem. The
