Two Great instruments.

In our days, and especially in our
country, there are two chief instru-
ments for the formation of opinion, the
enlightenment of the masses, the mar
shaling of strength, the accomplish
ment Of great purposes. These two in
struments are always in evidence in the
secular life around us Men are al
ready educated up TO their constant
use. The results they achieve in the
secular world are palpable enough to
meet our touch whether we wish it or
not Two valuable agencies that lie be-
fore us in the mission of the church
agencies we dare not neglect-are the
press and organizaticn.-The Monitor,

. The Political Preacher.

There is no use denying the power OF
the political preacher; we may laugh al
his ignorance and pity his vulgarity
but the congressman from the back
woods still holds him in respect.
While these political preachers are
busy starving out Catholic education
among Catholic Indians. they do not
relent one iota from their efforts to
maintain the Protestant Indian schools
upon the plea that they are strictly
non-seCtarian. Protestants get along
with less religion than any people in
the world. This is especially true of
American Protestants. Give them a
lynn and d short prayer and they will
be satisfied. This they manage to inject
into the curriculum of all their non
sectarian schoolS.-Wcstern Watch

A "Prayer!''

The chaplain of the house of repre-
sentatives N Austin, Tex. gave utter
ance to the following in his "invoca-
ton" at the opening of a recent ses-
sion:
There are thousands who are ours
ing the legislators for the laws they
have passed. Why don't they come
here and curse them to their faces? Is
it because they are restrained by the
thought that they may get their teeth
knocked down their threats by the stall
wart fists of these men here?"
AS part Of a political speech these
expressions would be strenuous
enough, but the man who uses them in
a prayer has some very strange ideas
of the meaning of that act. which is
communion with God.-Sacred Heart

ANGEL AND THE CHILD.

| The angel stood with radiant face,
And leaning Ger the cradles SIDE,
There his own image seemed to trace
AS in a streamlet's gentle tide.
Dear child, dost thou my likeness
bear
He said, 80 come, thou, come with
me-"
Together joyful will we fare.
The world unworthy is of thee.
Never on earth is fill Of gladness.
The soul Graves pleasure she denies;
Fen cries of JOY have in them sad
ness,
The senses soft delights leave signs.
Gloom wells the dawning festal hour
Ne'er yet did sky, though calm and
bright,
Foreten if morrow would not lower
Mid darkness and the. tempest's
fight.
Must. then, the fret of griefs and fears
Disturb this brow so pure and fair,
And, through the bitterness of tears
These heaven-blue eyes dimness
wear?
No, no! no grander fields of space
With me art thou TO fly away,
Kind Providence has richest grace
For all the days of mortal stay.
Let them that in thy household live
Put on no vestment dark and sad,
And to thy last hour welcome give
AS when thy birth their hearts made
glad.
Let no cloud rest upon their brow,
No shadow of the tomb be there;
To child so young and pure as thou
The last day is of all most fair,
And with these words his wings of
white "
The angel shook and soaring sped,
To gain eternal mansions bright
Poor mother thy dear child is dead

AN, I'VE GOT HOME.

Been a travelin' most a year.
Been a powerful ways from here.
Seen some sights l won't forget
Heard some sounds I'm hearin' VET
But now I'm home.
Been TO cities strange and new.
Some | liked, but just a few:
Still, there's none of 'em can be
What this old farm is to me.
Cause it's my home.
There's my ak beside the tree
Seems to sort o heckon me:
Wonder if I've clean forgot
How to silver off a knot
Since L left home?
How I'm lovin' every sound,
Acorns droppin' on the ground
Sounds like music in my ear.
Kind O singin' joy and cheer
Cause I've got home.
Is there anything so good
AS bein' home--an' understood
Folks don't criticise your wavs
Where they've known you all their
days
Right in you home.
We'll, I'm thanlin' God for this
I've been liked (enough 10 miss)
In the place love the best.
And I've just come back to rest
An stay at home.

Pope Plus x on the Catholic Press.
07rom Rome.


PiuX y has always taken the keen
est interest in the daily press. While
he was Patriarch of Venice he almost
edited the "Difesa" during times of
special crisis Since he has been Pope
he has been supplied every morning
with all the notes and articles regard
ing the Holy See that have appeared
during the preceding twenty-four
hours. and he finds time at least to
glance through half a dozen of the
principal Catholic papers of Italy and
France. This week His Holiness sent
the following autograph to the editor
of the "Croce" Of Naples, on the Occa-
sion of the publication Of special
number illustrating the necessity Of a
good Catholic press:
Considering the unbridled license of
the non-Catholic press, by means Of
which the eternal laws of truth and
justice are impugned or denied. the
church is rendered an object of hatred
and the most pernicious doctrines,
tanning the mind. fomenting perverse
appetites. nattering the senses and cor
rupting the heart are instilled into the
souls Of the people. everybody must see
how necessary il is that the good
should strive as one man TO turn to
the welfare of the Church and of socie-
" an instrument which the enemy is
using for the injury of both. We there
fore cannot but praise highly Catholic
writer's who endeavor to oppose the an
tidote of the good press to the poison
of The bad press. and that they may not
lose heart in the midst of the fatigues,
annoyances and difficulties inseparable
from all good works, we inpart TO all

Within the Span of Single Life.

Archbishop Williams was born in
Boston, April p, 1922. In 1922 Bishop
Cheverus was still in Boston. John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson were still
alive. The diocese of Boston then en-
braced all New England, with a Cath
olic population of less than 10000. at
tended by not more than half a dozen
priests. 1t was in 1922 that Boston OBJ
tanned its charter as a city and had a
population of some $4,000, of whom
scarcely more than 5000 were Catho-
lies.
Contrasting this with the conditions
today-New England with a Catholic
population of fully 100000; Boston
with a Catholic population of probably
$4,000 within a five-mile radius of the
state house on Beacon hill; over 1850
priests in what now forms the province
og New England together with the
churches, schools and charitable insti-
tutions everywhere to be found-aIl
forms picture of growth and progress
during these eighty-five years that
seems more like a dream of romance
than an actual leality and leaves us in
admiring wonder how such a develop
ment could take place within the span
of a single life.-From Donahoe's for
April.

TESTIMONY TAKEN
 IN ADAMS TRIAL
CONFESSION OF THE ACCUSED IS BROUGHT IN AND ALLOWED TO GO TO THE JURY IN SPITE OF OBJECTIONS.

Rathdrum, Idaho. November u.-S. C. Thel was the first witness on the stand in the Adams trial today. He testified to the error of Steve Adams and his confession. Att2rney Darrow immediate ly interposed an objection that the eon- fesson had been obtained through threats of immunity and promise of reward The jury was excluded and Mcfarland and Whitney were cross-examined, and it was ascertained that the confession had been made to McPartland. MT. Darrow re- newed his objection, but it was overruled.
 The jury was then brought back and MT. Thiel continued his testimony. He said Adams had told him, in the presence of Mrs. Adams, that he had some relics on the farm of his uncle, J. w. Lillard. Among those was 25-6 Winchester car fridge that had killed Fred Tyler. Wit ness wanted to get a letter from him to deliver those articles to him. Mrs Adams told the witness that the day after Steves arrest they had buried the articles on the Lillard farm near Baker City, Ore.

 A protest is made against liquor adYer- tsements in the United States mails and regret is expressed that the government should sanction the sale of liquor in the canal zone single standard of purity, applying to man and woman alike, is declared for. The government is appealed to to/ stop all traffic in women, poly gamy is denounced and the right of woni- an suffrage demanded. As lar as consid- cred the report was adopted.
 That portion remaining to be acted upon contains the equal standards of purity abolition of traffic in women and the polygamy and woman suffrage clauses.
