out conscience, without even a sense
of decency! And yet even Catholic pa
rents seem to be indifferent-to stand
idly by while the souls of their chill
dren are tainted.
What is the reading of many of these
papers but daily visit to the slums?
What is it but inhabituating pure
souls to the vision of vice? Many who
complacently read the sensational pa
pers would shrink from actual con-
tact with persons and incidents so
Vividly portrayed in the columns of
the press. But the influence of this
daily contact with sin and vice can
not but be seriously injurious. 1t fills
the mind with images and notions that
should be strangers to the heart of in
nocent childhood. 1t excites d purient
curiosity which it is difficult to allay.
1t familiarizes the soul with vice and
thus takes away the horror of sin,
which is one of the special graces of
youth. 1t opens up a pathway into the
domain of vice and already exercises
a certain sway over the faculties. 1t
gradually robs the soul of innocence
and substitutes a precocious knowledge
which is the prelude of many tempta-
lions. 1t produces a thirst for sensa-
lions which drains away the calm and
peace OF the soul. 1t units the mind
for serious study. distorts the sense OF
truth and begets a habit of exaggera-
ton detrimental in after life. 1t I'M
duly initiates the Imagination and de-
tracts from the judgment. 1t often
begets habits of secret sin.
In fact, the reading of sensational
newspapers, with all their disgusting
details, with all their ornate familiar
tty with crime, is injurious to the soul,
the mind and the body of children.
Conscientious parents will guard their
children from this curse of childhood.
They will exercise the most exacting
scrutiny over the literature which is to
fall into the hands Of their children
and mould their young impressionable
souls. This is indeed serious duty
for Christian parents, and yet many of
them, otherwise of tender conscience,
seem to be blind to this responsibility.
Keep your children from a daily visit
to the haunts of vice and sin; from
soiling their souls in the Sums; from
learning the vices of the rich and the
ways of the criminal Keep them from
the perusal of the sensational news

Sixteenth Century,

The other day in Florence. ItaIv
three great Catholic organizations drew
up circular inviting the Catholics
of Italy to prepare ito celebrate the
sixteenth century of the greatest event
in the life of the church after its
foundation" According to Hertzberg If
was on April 80, 311, and at Nicodemia
that the three Roman emperors. Cal
erium, Constantine and Licinius. Joint
ly reigning, promulgated the famous
decree which put an end to the long
ages of persecution and allowed Chris
tians to build churches and Worship in
public. According to the decree the
Christians were in future to pray to
their God for the welfare of the en-
perors, Of the empire and for their own
in order that the state may prosper in
every way and that they may be able
to live TRANQUILITY in their Seats As
Rome will be greatly occupied in the
year 1911 with another celebra ton it is
very unlikely that the centenary of
Christian liberty will be attained by
any special demonstration. But it is
as good as certain now that by that
time Piux x. will have promulgated
the new code of ecclesiastical legisla-
ton, which has its roots in the civil
legislation of the time of Constantine.
and this in itself will constitute splen-
did memorial of the event.

The WARNING From wall Street.

Stop Would you spread disaster
through the land?
Stay. you that urge obedience to the
laws!
Fools, ere you rise to eagerly demand
That we be punished for our shining,
pause!
Have pity for the thousands who must
feel
Your cruel blows
If we are scourged or bound upon the
wheel
Think-think of those!
They have been victims of our lust, tbs
true
They have been robbed. deceived,
crushed to the walls
But heed TIE warning that we send to
you
Stay ere the structure we have weak
ened fafls
Unless we may uhhindered work our
will
And glut our greed,
The gates shall all be closed, the
wheels be still
Give ear, take heed.

Caught between freight cars which

middle-aged man employed in the
wards of the New York, New Haven
e. Hartford railroad at Westchester,
in the Bronx, had both legs cut off
above the knees last week. While
waiting for the ambulance his lO-year-
old son came to the station with his
fathers lunch basket. The boy saw
the crowd. several Of whom were doing
what they could for the injured man.
and wedged his way in.
You must be brave" Gallagher
told him as the boy knelt down beside
him in flood of tears.
FoFdham hospital is three miles from
the place where Gallagher was in
iured. and il was half an hour before
an ambulance and doctor arrived.
During this time Gallagher was
cared for on the platform of the sta
ton by men and women who had W.T.
messed the accident. Almost fifty
measure seekers were on the platform
al the time. several women became

the poor mans wounds

THREE FILIPINO INFANTS
Baptized by Apostolic Delegate at
jamestown Exposition.

on last Thursday his excellency,
Diomede Falconio, the apostolic dele
gate, baptized three Filipino babies at
the Philippine village at the James
town exposition grounds. He was as
sisted in the ceremonies by a retinue
of bishops and clergy, and everything
was done according to the rubrical re-
quirements. Archbishop Glennon of St.
Louis. Bishop Donahue of Wheeling
and Rev. A. P. Doyle, rector of the
Apostolic Mission house, Washington,
and Rev. Louis Stickney, the secretary
to the delegate, were the sponsors.
The incident was one of very great
significance. tended to reaffirm the
thoroughly CO ole character of the
Filipino PEG I'd their desire for
the religious 7le noes of the Catho-
lie church and L. one other.

ferent tribes un6sr &c immediate care

were born since the Filipinos left the
far east, one On the ocean and the
others since their arrival at James
town. The names selected indicated in
some sense the place Of birth James
Pacific was boTr on the ocean. Patrick
Henry and Maria Pocahontas were
born within the confines of the old
dominion of Virginia. The mothers
took occasion of the visit of the apos-
tolic delegate to ask that the children
be baptized by him aru hat special
favor was granted them.
1t was an interesting scene and it is
hoped that photographs of it have been
preserved to witness the gathering on
the raised platform. The center fig
ure Of it is the representative of the
holy father, an army officer interpret

the mothers of the children and the
American bishops and priests confirm

their presence.
After the baptism was over the god
parents took out their purses to make
an offering, so strong is the influence
of habit, but they put the five-dollar
bills in the hands of the infants, a
practice evidently very pleasing to
the mothers Of the children, but one
that would not receive the entire ap-
proval of the parish priests Of the
Philippines or anywhere else if it were
to become an abiding custom.
The Filipinos took occasion, too, of
the visit Of the delegate to ask that
they have mass, and arrangements
were readily and easily made for mass
in the exposition grounds by transfer
ring Chaplain O'Keefe to the squadron
of his regiment that was on duty at
the exposition.

The Genuine.

Loves a thing to talk about
When day is done and stars are out,
And when the road you walk along
Seems gently fading into song,
And firefies darting here and there
Light up the perfumed summer air
With little spangles just of light,
Now visible, now out of sight,
And all the world is full of blooms
And splitting over with perfumes.
But when the world is all awry
And youth is of the years gone by,
And summer days and nights are fled,
And skies are brassy overhead,
And nothing goes just right at all.
And not a bird sends forth its call,
And poverty grinds more an5 more,
And the gaunt wolf is at the door.
And hard luck comes with leer and
shove,
Is the best time for proving love.
Then in the time true love shall stand
Steadfast by you and, hand in hand,
Go with you down life's darkened way.
Your staff, your comfort and your
stay;
Quick to encourage and to lift
Your soul above the dark and drift
OF circumstances and to be
Smiling beside you steadfastly;
Something to live for and to plan;
Gods best and greatest gift to man.

NarroWneSS.

To those who understand what is
meant by the Catholicity of the church
and it's all-embraCing love for every
human being, especially for all who are
already within the true fold, scarcely
any fault seems more surprising in a
Catholic than the spirit of narrowness
that would confine his activities and
acts of zeal and charity to the cir
cumscribed limits of his own parish.
Yet we often meet with those who are
generous and self-sacrificing when they
are called upon to contribute to paro-
chial needs, but who, manifest reluc-
lance if requested to aid their own
fellow Catholics who are struggling
country or even in other parts of our
own state.
The consequence of this spirit is that
some parishes are more than fully
equipped with all the accessories of re-
ligious worship, while others have
scarcely the barest necessities and
some places have not even a church
in which to offer the Holy Sacrifice.
Great losses to our faith have occurred
as a direct result of the strange mar
rowness and shortsightedness. We are
all members of one church and mem
bers of the mystical body of Christ
When one member is suffering, we
should all suffer if we all were of the
spirit of Christ as we'll as members
of His body Thoughtlessress may be
accountable for our Indifference, but
the facts in the case are too evident to
be overlooked.
To remedy this evil is the purpose of
the, CAurch Extension society,". But
something more is needed than the
work of this society. We must culti-
Yate a broader spirit of charity to-
ward all our br ethren. Then we shall
blush to abound in luxuries when there
are others who are experiencing the
need of the neces saries, whether for the
body or for the lsoul.

Children Who Visit Haunts of Vice

Where is the father of a family who
would be content to know that his
children are visiting the slums of a
great city, not once or twice or occa-
sionally, but almost every day? Could
the conscience of such a parent rest
quiet under these conditions? Would
he not feel that his dear ones were
entering a path which leads to sin and
sorrow, and would he not make every
effort to reclaim them and turn them
away from scenes and examples of
crime which could not but be ultimate
ly disastrous to their souls and their
regulations?
And yet every day many young peo-
pie visit the slums of the great cities
and apparently with the implied con-
sent of their parents. How many chill
dren read the daily papers, with their
stories of sin and crime? How many,
alas, feast on the sensational details
furnished by yellow ournalism-with-

In connection with a perusal of the
new Syllabus the following extract
from a letter of Cardinal Ferrari to
the directors of the condemned review,
Rinnovamento, proves interesting:
Children of the church should bear
in mind first of all that by faith we
believe the things revealed by God to
be true not through their intrinsic
truth known by the light of reason,
but through the authority of God Him
self, who reveals Gone. Waite, iii. 81;
they should recognize that the Una
Fides' required that the revealed
truths should not be abandoned to
mems talent, so various and change
able, but should be granted by a
Givinely established mSgisterium that
is not outside the Catholic church;
they should acknowledge that with the
mandate to preserve the deposit of the
faith the church has been entrusted
by God with the right and duty of
prescribing falsely named science and
all those affirmations which arise FROM
profane studies, where they contradict
revealed truths (Conc. Vatic., ib). and
they should also remember that all
Catholics who devote themselves to
the speculative sciences must in con-
science be subject to the authority of
the church not merely by respecting
and accepting the defined dogmas, but
likewise by submitting to the doctrinal
decisions of the pontifical congrega-
tons Pius TX ad Archiep Monac, ct

bound, before publication, to submit to

It is about so miles. well timbered all

dusty road every day for miles and miles.
Some duck. mostly mallard, canvas back
