AND HE FORGAVE.
Chicago Priest Pleads in Court for
an Who Tried to Kill Him.
New World. Chicago.)

tNeW W Orlu- OnlGdSO.D
An incident occurred in Chicago this
week which has attracted the attention
of millions Of people throughout the
United States. 1t has done more. 1t
has excited their admiration and fur
nished great object lesson of the char
ity of the Catholic church.
A few months ago Father James K.
Fielding of this city was twice shot at
by a man whom that young priest
found lettering in the vestibule of the
church after mass was over. The
priests assailant escaped, and for
months his identity remained unknown
Last week. however. q man was
caught robbing the poor box of another
church. and after investigation proved
to be the man who had tried to kill
Father Fielding. The priest could have
prosecuted him, but what did he do?
He went into court and pleaded for him,
offering to pay his expenses back to
England, of which country the accused
is a native, and furnish him some
means of beginning life over again. The
daily journals state that the young
PRIESTS plea for his former murderous
assailant was most eloquent and ear
nest, moving some of the audience to
tears. That the court held the man
over caused the priest sincere regret.
About the only really meritorious in
cident in Victor Hugo's terrible novel,
Les Miserables," is that where the
noble bishop of Bienvenu shelters and
forgives Jean Vatican, the criminal His
charity, his Christ-like sympathy, made
the Maynard terror reform-made new
life to thrill his whole being. Chicago
has furnished an instance of such for
giveness that is even more striking,
and a Catholic priest is the one who
forgives. Such charity-such supreme
Christianity-is found only in the Cath
Ole church and her children. No won
der she rescues the fallen and uplifts
the desolate. She is moved by the pas
sion of Christ, who forgave those who
crucified him and taught men to love
their enemies and do good to them
that hate you.

There are any number of pests in
this world-mosquitoes, peddlers and
germ experts, but they are not to be
compared with the man who insists on
reading a paper while he crosses the
| street
Everybody knows the person. He
does not always look the same. Some
times he is prosperous appearing
man; sometimes the reverse Some
times he is alone and sometimes he has
somebody with him. There is no doubt
that he has everybody against him.
| He always crosses the street just at
| the busiest hours of the day. He is on
| his way to lunch persaps. Perhaps he
is going to his office. Perhaps he has a
dozen important engagements on hand
In his hand he holds the daily paper
He walks along the sidewalk swerv-
ing from side to side as irate women
and impatient men brush him by. He
! takes long. enjoying puffs of his cigar
or pipe and minds the humping not at
all. He turns vague eyes to the traffic
before him; turns a leaf of the paper
and walks fearlessly- into the melee
He bumps suddenly into woman car
rying a baby. The baby bowls and the
woman says angrily
''Oh, for mercy's sake, why don't you
look where you are going?' He tips
his hat politely. but otherwise refuses
to be disturbed The account of the
divorce proceeding he is reading is just
at it's climax. Suddenly there comes a
yell.
Look out there-look out there!
Who-o-a." And heavy moving van
is drawn up just in time to save crush
ing the intrepid individual with the pa
per. This, however, does not even at
tract his attention and he walks on
followed by loud and uncomplimentary
tributes from the driver.
A whistle sounds. People without pa
pers stop to let wagons by. The man
with the paper doesn't know that there
are such things as wagons. Why-''And
Mrs. So and So deliberately tore the.
There is yell and a frantic policeman
grabs the pedestrian directly from in
front of a coWcatcher.
"What-what?' says the man with
the paper. why do you grab me like
that? Don't you think I can take care

What the policeman says is better
not printed. What he thinks could not
be printed. The man with the paper
walks on and reads all about the letter
Mrs. So and So tore up.
At last the street has been crossed,
and. still reading. the person goes calm
ly on his way. Up in heaven the re-
cording angel writes his name:

Examinations and Reviews.

A final examination in the senior class
is fraught with meaning. 1t speaks of
certain triumph near at hand and &C
companying sadness always present in
the last days of the school year for
those who will not return when Sep
TENDER rolls around. The examination
in mental philosophy, which the senior
class stood last Monday morning,
proved that they had laid a firm foun-
dalton for the discussion of many an
intricate thesis. Father Ryan was
present and questioned the young ladies
on much of the ground gone over.
The sophomores' church history test
showed that they believe in giving
prominence to sacred history, and that
they find it quite as interesting as por-
tions of profaue history. They recited
intelligently and interestingly before a
large audience Monday.

rNMORLDLINESS

To be in the world yet not Of the
world, is program of Catholic life hard
10 understand, and harder to practice
For the world is a pleasant enemy. and
its spirit manifold; and we are prone to
think that worldliness is hardly blame
worthy in laymen. Yet nothing can be
more false.
Worldliness is the approaching things
as they appeal to our passions and it
rests on the assumption that this pres
ent life is the end for which we were
made. Unworldliness is seeing things
as God sees them; and it is based on
the belief that the only reason why we
are in this world is to get ready for the
next. 1t remembers that Jesus was an
artisan, and Mary the spouse of a car
penter. and St Paul q tentmaker: and
that not merely to monks and nuns but
also to laymen Christ said: Seek We
first the kingdom of God and his jus
tice'
UnWorldliness does not mean that we
give up all amusement, but ii does
mean that we keep our pleasures with
IN bounds: and that we do not make
them ends, but means to serve God bet
ter. Again, we are worldly or unworld-
~ not merely by what we do or avoid.
Two men may live side by side the
same external life, with the same occu-
patton. the same pleasures. the same
family circle; yet one be wholly world
ly. and the other wholly unworldly
Where is the difference? In their mo-
tives. The worldly man lives for this
world alone, the unworldly for God and
the next.
To avoid Worldliness. therefore, ave
need courage: We need faith. to show us
the shadows that surround US; we need
hope, TO tell us of our everlasting in
heritance; we need charity to unite US

and hope and charity. the Holy Euchar-

A THOUGHT.

Hearts that are great beat never lous,
They muffle their music. when they
come;
They hurry away from the thronging
crowd
With Bonded brows and lips half
dumb.
And the world looks on and mutters-
Proud
But when great hearts have passed
away
Men gather in awe and kiss their
Shroud.
And love TO kneel around their clay.
Hearts that are great are always lone,
They never will manifest their best;
Their greatest greatness is unknown,
Earth knows little-God, the rest.
