HUDSON AND FULTON,

New York City has enjoyed another great fete
water pageant, in celebration of the three bun-
dredth anniversary of the time Henry Hudson
sailed up the beautiful river which bears his name
IN his Half Noon They called it the Hudson-FuI-
ton celebration, and it coupled the discovery of the
river with the triumphant voyage of Robert FuI
tons Clemont, the first practical steamboat-tro
events OF real magnitude to the world either one OF
winch Is worthy of celebration in remembrance
Henry Hudson sailed up the river in September
and October 1909, and his name has been indelib1v
written into the histories of the western world and
III 'ne geography of America. But while Hudson
may nave been preceded by earlier Spanish explor

,,o ,,o;nt of view but perfectly natural from an
o4ber-is one which, rightly understood ana Prac-
food leaves no room for superstition knowing
+b; the early Christians sIngularly Tree from
+bP degrading beliefs which SO long darkened the
understanding of the heather world Inc luminous
teaching of our Divine Lord and his apostles IL
1,,r,ned the darkness of paganlsm, ana men began
70 soc with unobscured vision the truth OF dou' as
when the Clouds which at times curtain the heaY-
ans dsperse, we behold myriads OF gi1tterlng
stndd;np the expanse of the midnight sky
# cannot however, be asserted that Christians
in the middle ages and of modern times were ana
are as free from superstition as were the converts
If early times. Our superstltlons may De claSsl-
fed under three heads. We have first that KIND OF
sunerstition-the least noxious OF alE-whlch Is De-
gotten of love of the marvellous and which eX-
presses itself in an accumulation Of wonders with
out any reference to their proportion OF their ne
cessitv. We have examples OF this In the 0Iorles
of Mary" By St. Aphonsus, and III some OF the
lives of the medieval saints, where we md long
series of unverifed wonders strung together with
out any connection, without any attempt at char
acterzation without any effort to dlrreentae fact
from hearsay The result of reading these phe-
nomena or wonders is to draw crooked, If not
deceptive, line between the reader and the subject
of his study. He realizes that between the char
acters limned, the wonders recorded and the
things done there is a vast unbindabe material
which he cannot grasp till he at last longs for the
portrayal of quiet, simple, unostentatious life,
with common experiences, common thoughts with
common actions tempted and tried like the rest of
US, meeting the trial and fighting down the tempta
ton by our own will fortified by the never failing
Grace of God, and not by outward, visible and mi
racuous interpretations of Divine Providence, for
which we fell we could not ask without presump-
ton.
The second kind of superstition is more serious,
and manifests itself in a disposition to attribute
overmuch virtue to the externals accessories of
religionto embems or forms of words to the exclu-
sion of due consideration of the state of the heart
and the tendency or inclination of the mind and
the spirit-the homage without which outward cere-
mony, attention to details, will avail little
The third kind of superstition is still more nox-
ious. 1t is not superstition about externals such
as scapulars medals or different kind of rosaries;
about which some people are superstitious, but an
interference with some Notwithstanding inter
nal and fundamental, something of the essence of
religion.
Superstition, so far as Christians are concerned,
here reaches its climax An example of this kind of
superstition is in the theory that faith without
works, will avail for salvation.

Socialists also disapprove of war In these matters
Socialists may be encouraged and their position en-
dorsed and commended, but such endorsement and
commendation would in no way be endorsing or
commencing the principles of Socialism. Their
views on these subjects, and on some others have

PROSECUTOR E. S. CANT
WILL CALL HOLT

between 10:3o and IL o'clock the

ali who investigated the killing that
it must have occurred earlier 10 the
evening. Mr.. Holt may be mistaken
to the hour. This would be an easy
matter as he was under excitement
because of what he had witnessed an
suffering with the fear he might NEE
a similar fate should he tell the au-
thorities of his being present at the
murder.
The question concerning the $4,000
reward being paid Hr. Holt should he

derers to justice has been raised By
some. OF course the states reward
and that offered by the county woult
be available, but the subscriptions
raised at the time would really b'
an arbitrary matter for the subscrib
ers themselves to settle.
