A Praissworthy Movement.

visit to Father Dempsey's lodging
houses for men in st. Patricks parish,
st. Louis, reveals a. remarkable char
ity. Both houses are under the shadow
of tho church and under the eye Of
the pastor. The work has the full
sanction Of the archbishop.
A 1o-cent lodging house is redolsnt
of neither cleanliness nor charity.
Father Dempsey saw the evil in cheap
lodging houses and he tried a remedy.
He rented two spacious buildings near
his own house. fitted them up as
roomy, cleanly. lightsome dormitories,
hung out a sign that beds for men
were 10 cents a night and soon there
was not a vacant bed.
lie guarantees to find work for ev-
cry idle man who patronizes his lodg-
ing house. His guarantee is no empty
promise. Fla finds work and as a. rule
his patrons take to 1t. SO ,engrossed
is this good priest in his work that he
could not be tempted to take weeks
vacation. He is doing a good, a great
work, and he feels it, He knows every
man who frequents these lodging
houses. He knows their weaknesses
and their sorrows. He knows the pow
or of kindness. He talks to them Like
the Vicar Of Wakefield, he ,cfides their
wanderIngs. but relieves their pains.
Nor is his kindness lost. He says
that square dealing on. their. part is
the rule. Quarrelins. drinking, swear
Ing are quietly but firmly tabooed. AS
every man has to pay his little tariff,
self-respect is not wounded. The at
lnosphere lis healthy. 1t is really a: rs-
forming school for a class who have
been too long neglected. The method
is working we'll because 1t is so un-

He Admires the Catholic chur.h.z

Rev. Henry Faville, of the F4sst
Congregational church, Prairie hu
Chen. Wis. in his sermon on a recent
Sunday. explained:
What 1 like about the Catholic
Church,
For the first part like the Catholic
Church because of their reverence for
the marriage VOW, for whether mar
riagc is recognized as a sacrament .or
a civil contract, it should be binding
for life, and we should be ever true. to
tho policy which we accept.
":rhen 1 like the Catholic Church as.
cause they have reverence for their
house of worship. 1t is the right at
titude to promote reverence.
"Then I realize that the Catholic
Church makes no distinction whatever
between race, clans or color. There is
no division. This is certainly most
Christlikc. "Go ye and preach the
gospel unto the whole world : -.
''Ihen like their elevation Of the
Apostle Peter, who was Christlike
man, and came to the front among
tho apostles. though he was a sinful
man, and not always consistent.
I'VE are al brethren, Catholic and
Protestant, and believe that If was
to depend upon getting into heaven
upon Catholic friends l would be al
lowed to enter. Though some might
say that purgatory was good enough
for me, I believe that they would al
low me to pass the pearly gates. :
II like the Catholic Church.. be-
cause-They recognize the sancttty
of the marriage vow; they reverence
the Church and its children; they are
democratic in their worship; liberal
and charitable. l like them for their
missionary spirit, for their aid in ad-
vancing tho progress of civilization in
tho middle ages, and for their eleva-
tion OF Peter who was but a sinful
man. -: -
