LONGEVITY of EaIsehoods.

We cannot be surprised at the tenac-
ity with which an anti-Catholic fable
survives all efforts TO explode it, when
we see how men of learning and re-
search continue TO live in ignorance OF
such matters.
Seven years ago Rev. John Neville
Fiegis delivered a series of lectures on
ecclesiastical history at Cambridge Uni
versity. Last year these lectures were
published by the University Press I'M
der the title, Studies of Political
Thought from Gerson to Grotius. In
one of these lectures he declares that
Jesuit is obliged to commit sin if COM
manded by his superiors. Being taken
to task for this by reviewer, MIR. Fig
Eis quoted the words obligare ad pecca-
tum. which have been repeatedly eX-
planning as meaning not an obligation
Ito commit sin" but an obligation
binding under pain of sin
The historians Leopold van Ranke
and s. r. Gardiner once made the same
mistake as Mr.. Figgis, but they retract-
ed it. From the Evangelische Bund,
the Protestant Alliance of Germany, has
declared that sit is deplorable that ex-
ploded Jesuit myths like this should oc-
casionally be dished up afresh. Never
theless, an English clergyman, supposed
to know enough about church history to
lecture at one of the universities. re-
mains completely deaf and blind i'm re-
gard TO this important matter.-Casket.

ST. George.

Saint George became the patron SAINT
of ''Merrie England in the far-off days
when Richard of the Lion Heart was
striking terror into the souls of the
Saracens in Palestine. The story goes
that. prior to the battle of Jaffa, the
English king had a vision in which st.
George promised victory to the Chris
tan army In this way great impetus
was given to the cult of the warrior
saint; and his feast-day. the 23d Of
April, became a national holiday in
England. When the Order of the Car
ter was instituted by Edward Ill, the
name of st. George followed that of the
Blessed Virgin amongst those i'm whose
honor it was founded; and at the-pres-
ent day a very large number of the
English Protestant churches bear the
name of the soldier saint of the fourth
century.
st. George was born in Cappadocia
of noble Christian parents. At his ia
theirs death. he accompanied his mother
10 Palestine, where she had large
estates. and there entered the Roman
army. He soon rose to the rank of
colonel. and received many marks of the
royal favor. When fresh prosecutions
were instituted against the Christians,
ST George ventured to appeal TO the
emperor: but Diocletian only laughed
grinnly at the young soldiers pleadings.
ST George Immediately threw up his
commission. and tore down the imperial
edict from the gates of Nicodemia. He
vas 1T once thrown into prison. and
there endured many fortunes without
flinching. AS he continued firm in his
profession of the faith Of Christ, he was

THE INTEGRITY OF THE FAITH.
The Holy Father, the Guardian of the

Integrity of that faith to the prayers of

A man without faith is as blind in
fbe spiritual order and as dark to heav-

his eyes and he saw.
This great blessing we can weaken
in our souls and even lose completely.

the firm of Cleveland &. Titus, a client
came in and wanted an opinion right

No member Of the firm was in. Ac-

cipal. Mr.. Cleveland, came in, he ex-
planned the circumstances, and showed
him the opinion.
Mr.. Cleveland looked at him with a
smile, and then read 1t with care.

MILLION GO TO THE WEST.
Railroads Carrying Settlers and
Freight Earned 100000.
Omaha Bee.)

Final reports of the railroads of the
west for 1907 have just been complet-
ed and give some idea of the rate at
which the west is being populated. the
gross earnings and mileage of the sys-
TENS which are carrying settlers and
the materials for building cities and
homes into the west are greater than
ever.
The great roads which either origin
ate passenger and freight business in
the states of the middle west, or form
the connecting link which carries the
traffic to the new homes of the far
west, operate more than $4,000 miles
Of track, or about 81 per cent of the
total in the United States, and their
immense business during 1907 may be
realized from the fact that their COM
bined gross earnings were S7O0,COO,O0O.
Railroad men believe that the num-
her of Dassen gers carried to the west
% make Up this great total must be
more than 1,OO0,C00 The balance is
