THE GENERAL INTENTION
recommended by His Holiness,
Piux x.

Piux x.
THE INTEGRITY OF THE FAITH.
The Holy Father. the Guardian of the
f,W truth committed by our Blessed
yord 10 His Church, recommends the
integritv of that faith to the prayers of
,ba Apostleship. While the faith Of
+be church can never fail, for Christ
Sos promised that 1.-The gates of aelI
Shall never prevail against her" still
individuals may weaken in the faith
and even lose it entirely.
This precious gift received in bap-
ism is the very root and foundation
n ali merit and good works without
Il St. Paul tells us we cannot please
coi cannot be acceptable in His sight.
, man without faith is as blind in
the spiritual order and as dark to heav-
srly things az was the blind man out
sie Of Jericho till Our Lord touched
HIS eyes and he saw.
This great blessing we can weaken
in our souls and even lose completely.
In every day life the atmosphere we
breathe is so tainted in the miasmic
rapors of unbelief. that unless we are
on our guard We soon inhale the pois-
onous air and our faith in readily tar
uished. The men and women we meet
are so imbued with tenets opposed to
the supernatural that the purity of our
faith is easily blurred by daily con-
tact with them. Books, papers and
magazines so reek with doubt and in
fictitious teachings that if we are not
yigilant We too run great risk of be-
coming mentally soiled and of having
our perception of supernatural truuh
dimmed. Hence this month we are to
pray earnestly for the preservation of
this most precious gift unsullied-in our
hearts-in the hearts Of the faithful.
We shall not forget also to offer up
our prayers for those who do not see
the truth, that God may open their
eyes and hearts to its light and
strength

THE POWER AND INFLUENCE
OF THE CATHOLIC PRESS

In his Lenten pastoral to the clergy
and laity Of his diocese the Ri. Rev.
Bishop McFaul of Trenton, n. J., says:
In former pastoral letter We en-
deavored to show the influence OF
good literature on the family We may
be permitted to repeat here, what we
hen wrote: In our day, everybody
rads. Periodicals, pamphlets and
rtvspapers are the literature Of the
Millions. 1t is the daily newspa per.
however. that enjoys the largest pat
1O1age. We must have the news warm
at our breakfast table, every morning.
10 doubt. a newspaper is a potent fac
Tor for good or evil; and America pdb-
fishes some excellent secular news
papers. which may be safely intro
duced into the family. Our religious
veeklies are performing very ben
efcial work. and should receive a more
generous support. Every Catholic fam
fly should subscribe for a Catholic
newspaper and Catholic magazine,
possess A small library of religious
books. and such other works as will
instruct and interest
But what about those purYeyCrs of
uncleanness, the vulgar sheets reel5inE
with nastiness so largely read by all
classes? Reprove them for their vile
ress, and the reply is: We print the
news. Yes, they do, and such news:
and such advertisements Let US re-
call tho words Of st. paul to the Cen
tiles: But all uncleanness. .
let it not so much as be named among
YOU, as becometh saints: or obscen-
iiy, or foolish talking, or scurrility,
which is 10 no purpose.
Every one will admit that some of
our newspapers are a disgrace. 1t is
shocking 10 witness the harm which
these disreputable journals do by pan

multitude They educate in crime. de-
siroy purity. in word. SOW immoral

Live in the brightness, and take this
to heart.
The world will be gayer if you'll do
your part.
Live on the housetop. not fhf3'the cell:

If they really wanted to check the
career OF these greedy monsters, why
have they not done SO long ago? Have
they been so busy making appropria
tions, conquering the Philippines and
helping indirectly to bring about the
panic that they hadn't time to look after
the "bad trusts?" Promises as to what
they will do after the campaign, if elect
ed, are getting very stale.
From present appearances they have
lost the opportunity to DO anything in
