Cardinal Tried to Save Ferrer's Life

And is there no answer to the far
spread, base and unutterably stupid as
sertion that the Catholic church in
Spain or anywhere else demanded the
death of Francisco Ferrer? There lei
Universe Catolico' Ghe Catholic Uni
verse'9 of Madrid, comes bearing this
message:
The statement that the church in
Spain, or any bishop of the :.flurch, or
any layman authorized to represent
the church's interests, demanded or
asked the death penalty upon Ferrer is
an absolute lie, one spread by the an
archists and their encOuragerS, the Free
Masons, for the purpose of injUring the
church in the eyes of the world. Fer
rer was self-confessed anarchist
whose infamous teachings had brought
ruin upon the church in Barcelona, and
caused the unprovoked murder of her
priests and nuns, but, notwithstanding
these crimes of the so-called teacher"
it is a fact suppressed by our enemies,
that Cardinal Casanas of Barcelona,
out of pity wrote letter to his Cath
Ollie majesty, the king, asking that his
life be spared. Ferrer was an anarchist,
was tried and found guilty as one, and
only paid such penalty as he would in
any civilized state in the world.-New

The chrlstian Mother.

CFrom Seedlings" by the Right Rev.
Charles II. Cotton, D. D., Bishop Of But
falo)
Though man is the head Of the fam
iv its life and sertngth rests In wo-
man. She is the power that counsels
man In his doubtings, restraints hi;n
I'M his Impulses. and urges him in his
sloth 1t has been said that man is
what his wife makeh him, for her in
fuence fer good or evil is unquestion-
ably great. 1t is thus the Scriptures
sneak: "Who shall find a valiant wO-
MANI Far and from the utmost coasts
is The price of her" This is pre-emi-
nently the case with the Christian
mother Such a woman stands out
from among her sex. She is flied
with a sense Of her dignity, and her
responsibility, her mind is upon her
duty, and she is ever faithful in full
filling it. She is the glory of her
husband and the honor of her children.
AS the family is the cornerstone OF
society. the Christian mother, who is
the bone and sinew-of the Christian
family. is certainly one. of the largest
contributors to society's well-being, for
the Christian family is the strongest
force in keeping society together. II
is the great conservative power, for
if is the Office of Christianity to build
up and hold together all things that
will conduce to the social webbing and
betterment Of the people.
Wherein lies the strength of the
Christian mother? It is in her virtues.
Her modesty captivates and COM
mands the respect Of all. Her devo-
ton and self-sacrifcing spirit teaches
q lesson worthy Of imitation, and her
wisdom and self-poise are enlightening
hnI
Scuh a one is a pillar of strength to
the home and guide and counsellor
to the society in which she lives. Her
power for good is only limited by her
environment, and the fruit of her good
example is visibly marked in those
who make up the circle of her friends.
Whence comes this extraordinary
power and what is it that contributes
to make UP a character so exceptional?
1t comes from her Christian faith.
That blessed gift of God in hers and
its influence is the power enlivening
and strengthening her soul. 1t is faith
that supernaturalizes her life and
makes her thoughts and actions good
and noble because she wishes in all
she does to give homage to God, from
Whom she has received life and to
Whom she hopes to go after her NOR
tai years have come to an end.
Thus the Christian mother realizes
the dignity and obligations of her
state. how she is to be the handmade
Of God to carry out the divine will in
faithfully performing the duties of her
station. To be faithful and obedient
wife and goO0 and self-sacrificing
mother o her children is her aim, and
10 fulfill it her happiness. Her every
endeavor is along the line of duty anu
her constant thought and prayer is
ever TO be pleasing to God and to have
the divine help with which to pass
Creditably the days and years that viii
be- allotted to her.
