CHURCH A SAFETY APPLIANCE

Interesting Meeting of North Capitol

a generous response from a large con-
gregation met the appeal Of Rev. Alex
ander Bielaski, pastor of the North Cap
itol Methodist Episcopal Church, yester-
day for the Improvements Of his edifice.
The meeting was held in TIE MetropoIi-
tan Church, ana was presided over BY
Judge Thomas Anderson, who started the
donations with a large contribution. Mr.
Bielash made a strong appeal for assist
.ance. which was followed by collection.
The total amount secured was not made
public, but it is thought that AT least half
of the $500, necessary to pay the debt OF
the church, was contributed
Hon. J. Adam Bede. Representative
from Minnesota. was called on by the
chairman, and he delivered a short ad-
dress on the moral influence OF the
church In the course Of his speech Mr.
Bede said.
Much is being said about safety ap-
planes on railroads. They are known
to be necessary, and the church. the
safety appliance Of the State, Is a thou
sand times more necessary. II is fine
thing. a comforting thing to come back
10 the church We must come 10 il for
that most important development in the
world, the formation OF character. Tie
powers above cannot form character
at least II they can, they never have, so
that il remains for the church and its
influence 10 do so. 1t can make the
United States greater as il makes the
individual finer and better. for our Coun-
try is but the individual al his best. and
the government cannot rise higher than
than the people. its source. America Is
not a country but an idea. although the
globe is not America, il is now almost en-
tirely American. for the American Idea
has reached the far1hest borders.
I'VE speak Of American liberty as II IL
were a distinct product Of our own coun-
Try. but it was not first born here. It's
had IT'S nativity wherever the standard
of equality has been raised against op-
preston. in Bethlehem. in Judea in the
hardy Dutch republic and In the heroism
Of the Pilgrim fathers. And whenever We
solve a great problem we further the
sphere Of liberty not only for ourselves
but for the whole world. The American
people are responsible for the republic
good or ill., and It is TO the church that
they must look for guidance When the
republic is right il is the Office OF tny
church to keep 1t right, and when the
republic is wrong 1t is the office Of the
church TO set it right"

the sanctuaries being utilized for seat
ing. while many were forced TO stand in
the aisIes DR.. Stafford will continue TO
speak on this subject during Lent, treat
ing all phases of the question.
DR.. Staford's sermon in part follows.
The question Of socialism IS the most
important consideration OF the day. 1t
concerns not only political parties and
the state, but The church, philosophy.
art. life, and the individual in all phases
Of his career From all these points Of
view it must be discussed; and from all
these points of view the solution must be
found. Ultimately it is a religious ques-
ton, whence the church must take cog
nizance of it. Whatever concerns so
ciety-the state-concerns the church;
not, indeed. by way Of direct interior
ence, but indirectly. she must instill, for
this is her mission. into the minds Of her
children those principles upon which the
veal Of society depends.
state Highest CIVILIZATION
The state is the last word Of civiliza-
ton; the state is the highest expression
of human wisdom; the state is the
guardian of our liberties and the pro-
lection Of our homes; the state is the
shield of our individual life. the state is
divine. and whatever makes for the veal
Of the state, the church does and must
bless, and whatever makes against the
state. the church does and must con-
denim.
1T Is therefore a patriotic as we'll as a
religious duty to study this question and,
as far as may be, answer it. and / be
lieve that the Catholic Church is well
equipped for that work. The Catholic
Church is not simply a religion; it is an
organized religion, a mighty and uni
versaI power standing for right, justice,
sacredness Of property, the family, and
all that makes holy the life OF man,
whether individual or social
d" Mankind believes in God said a
great French orator because mankind
sees God act'-one sentence which is SUI
ficient answer TO all schools Of intdehty
If the church is to win, the world must
see her act There should be no bitter
Eess in meeting this issue. but great love,
and men with sane philosophy must re-
member that many kind heart has ad-
vdnced the widest schemes Not many
years back when the question Of social
ism was raised. men laughed thinking
either OF Ttopian dreams or reckless
crimes. The question now cannot be put
OF with a laugh. In the past fifty years
it has become a great power. II enters
nations. it seeks to dominate govern
ments. and 10 force the acceptance of its
doctrine on the world, whether the world
Will OF not.

Only some Causes Good.

There are many causes Of socialism,
some good, some bad. There never was,
said Leo XIII, such widespread desire
TO benefit the masses of the working peo-
pie This is the glory of our age. Let
this tendency of men not be perverted; it
will lead to many beneficial results An
other caSse is hatred of class; 'unsound
philosophy which looks on property as
theft and the social organization of
the present as radically wrong and which
therefore must be destroyed by the force
of revolution if necessary. Another rea-
son is that men are trying to feed their
hunger with the husks Of swine and win
not eat the bread of God.
Religion and the higher life-the soul
life-aloue can satisfy this longing of the
age
The Washington herald., 1907-02-18
Desire to Help Mankind.

Some content themselves with saying
that socialism means simply "a desire TO
benefit mankind and 20 make the condi-
ton OF the working class more tolerable-
II this be socialism. then-putting aside
for the moment the question of means-I
am a socialist But our friends are Dor
rowing from Christianity, for what
brought about this desire except the
teachings of Christie Another school says
the state should take all. and make all
citizens equal. and stiD another school
saws that the state should own every
thing. the individual nothing-the state
should own the earth and the fruits
thereof, all public utilities, all products
and divide them among the members of
society. What place should there be for
art? For poetry? For invention? For
individual effort? There would be moth
ing but the absolute state. Is it not
strange that men so readily forget?
For centuries men nave been striving
for individual liberty. So that neither king.
kaiser. nor government should touch him
nor enter his house without due process
of law And now i'm the final mark Of
what is called modern light the individual
is to disappear and the state become
omnipotent This may have a tomorrow,
but It VIII have no future. Eat. sleep.

extreme socialism will have no future
