JUST TRIBUTE
Paid BY a Methodist Minister to the
Catholic Church,

NdGnOIIC VnurCn,
The Rev. James Benninger Meth
odist clergyman of Wilkesbarre, Pa,
paid this tribute to the Catholic
Church in a recent sermon:
1--WE have fumed and fused and
worked ourselves into a frenzy, while
the Catholic Church, without any eff
fort on her part, has gone on in the
even tenor of her way solving the
problem to the satisfaction of her
hierarchy.
How does she do it? How does
she get n1en out of bed on Sunday
morning at an early hour--men who
work late on Saturday night? How
does she I'LL the streets on Sunday
morning with worshipers when the
Protestant world is fast asleep?
know some of the explanations that
are offered, but they do not explain.
Many that We have heard and read
only seem childish twaddle. One man
will tell you that the Cathoic Church
contains nobody but ignorant people.
But is that true to the facts of the
case? Do we not know of brilliant
lawyers and judges and professors
and business men who are devout
worshipers at her shrine? But if it
were true that she only held ignorant
people, would not the criticism pay
her high compliment? For every
Protestant clergyman in Christendom
knows that the hardest people to get
along with are ignorant people. A
Church that can gather and hold the
ignorant rabble has a vitality very
much to be desired. But the criti-
cism is not true.
Another man will tell you that the
Catholic Church scares people into
her fold. How often have you heard
that? But that explanation is no bet
ter than the first. You can readily
see how one generation might be
frightened into doing something, but
who is willing to believe that twenty
generations can be worked upon in
the same way? The scarecrow meth
cd is bound to play out with the
growing years. No, such explanations
as we usually hear explain nothing
Her secret lies deeper.
THE reason the Catholic Church
succeeds. in spite of our misgivings,
is because she is true to the central
fact of revelation. She makes the
death of Jesus Christ the center of
her devotion, and around that point
she organizes all of her activities
When you see company of Catholic
PEOPLE Sunday morning on tn, way to
Church, you can be assured of this
they are not going for the sake of
fine music: they are not going to hear
an eloquent dissertation on CDR. Jekyl
or Mr.. Hyde They are going to that
place Of worship to attend the Mass.
What is the celebration Of the Mass?
1t is what we call the celebration of
the Lords Supper. That fact is kent
prominently before the mind Of every
Catholic. What is the first thing YOU
see as you approach Catholic
Church? A cross. What is the arst
thing you see as you enter that
Church? A cross. What is the first
thing you see Catholic do as he
seats himself in that Church? Make
the sign of the cross. What is the last
thing held before the eyes Of a. diving
Catholic? A cross. He comes into
the Church in childhood im5ued with
the death Of Jesus Christ: he goes out

ANOTHER IRISH LAND BILL.

history of ireland during the past
century. we cannot recall single in
stance where any Englishnan has
shown such sincere interest in the
welfare of the Irish people than has
Mr.. Birrell, present Chief Secretary
for Ireland. 1t was said of old, Be
ware Of the Greeks bearing gifts"
There are Irishmen who never believe
in the sincerity of Enslishmen in their
dealings with Ireland. Many Of them
doubt that Gladstone had any real in
tention Of restoring self government
to the sister isle; many Of them doubt
the sincerity Of Mr.. Birrell. But ac-
tons speak louder than words, and
British ofhcials must be Judged by
what they do and have done.
The present Chief Secretary, it must
be acknowledged. advocated the pass
age Of a Catholic University bill in
order that the Catholics of Ireland
might stand on an equality with the
Protestants In the matter Of a higher
education. When cattle driving was
in vogue, the Tory organs cried out
for the suspension of the habeas
corpus act to punish the culprits with
out trial by jury. Mr.. Birrell declared
that ordinary law must take its course
and that the causes which led to the
preparation Of lawless acts must os
removed. He said that the grazing and
unoccupied lands must be given to the
people for cultivation, and that the
landlords must be compelled to sell
out to the people.
AS an evidence Of his good inten-
tons, he has recently introduced a bill
IL the House of Commons to expedite
the transfer of the land from land
lord to tenant. In 1908, an appro-
priation Of $5oo,ooo,ooo was made by
the Tory government but that was
totally inadequate, and about as much
more is required. The completed
transfers Of land UP to Oct. 81. repre-
scented $125,ooo.ooo: which practically
exhausted the amount realized from
the issues Of land stock Pending
transactions represent $2S0,OoO, 900,
and the Government intends to raise
the money necessary to complete these
transactions. having about 100000, 900
tn be dealt with later.
Chief Secretary Birrell, in parlia-
ment. declared that the uncultivated
grazing lands in the West Of Ireland,
which had been a bone of contention
and led to lawlessness in recent years,
must be acquired forcibly by the Gov
eminent to pacify the Irish people.
About half the agricultural lands al
ready had passed or was about to pass
from landlord to tenant. and ito ar
rest progress in this direction" ex-
claimed Mr.. Birrell, would be an
economic and political blunder of the
first magnitude" The bill passed its
first reading amid the applause of the
Nationalist and it is likely to become
a law, as the Tories in the upper house
want to sell out their lands in Ireland,
and the original land act was the
work of the Tory administration.
A local paper, In discussing this
question, says that the bill will pass
in spite Of the burdens it imposes on
British taxpayers" The bill imposes
