! Lord, all we his saints These words
were written a thousand years before
the birth of the Church of Rome.
The Psalms further help to point out
to us that the early saints were Sc
lected and elected, not through pro-
cedure in ecclesiastical courts, but by
the voice of the multitude. Again and
again it has happened that a people
has insisted upon the recognition of
one of its own-made saints, local or
national. But history. civil as well as
ecclesiastical. owes great debt to
the Roman Catholic church for hav-

world has ever known is the demo-
cracy of sainthood. as founded by the

IS COST OF LIVING HIGHER?
4 profound reason why the cost of
living is high. yet a reason that is
usually disregarded, is that we live
high. People who enjoy every mod
ern convenience in fare, clothing and
household appointments are apt to
complain because they have little left
as a margin at the end of the month
or year, and compare their situation
with some former time when they
lived much more simply
An Interesting contribution to this
subject has been developed at Sacra-
mento, as the result of discussions and
fishers and their employees Such
demonstration for California does not
prove anything, of course. for the rest
of the country, yet offers many IN
teresting suggestions. In general, the
report made by the committee OF
publishers shows that the general
conviction as to increased cost OF
living is based, not on an actual in
crease in the price of items. properly
entering into the cost of living. but on
the fact that the average family IS
spending more money and saving less
than it used to- 1t is shown that flour
is about the only item of living ex-
pense in Sacramento in which there
has been a material increase since
1904, and as the -four bill in the aver
