The Power of the Confessional in
Withdrawing People From Vice.

An Irishman, who seems to have a
bad drop" in him somewhere, is at
present vilifying. in English publica-
tions, the Church which nurtured him.
He picks out, as SO many other of his
stripe have done before, the confession
al as one of the salient points of attack,
and while he hints at horrors in this
connection, we Catholics are all ia
miliar with insinuations of this kind,
and while they may trouble some i'm
mature minds, the well-instructed
Cathalic takes them at their true valu-
ation-which Is exceedingly slight.
Catholics who have been going to con-
fession all their lives know what thu
confessional really is, and out of their
years Of happy spiritual experience they
are able to reply to those who see, or
affect to see, in the practice of confess
sion a danger to morality. In a recent
sermon at the cathedral, Baltimore,
Cardinal Gibbons spoke on confession
and, after giving an account of the Sa-
crament Of Penance, its esta hlishment
by our Divine Savior, and its admins
tration in the Church. he gave as fol-
lows his own personal experience:
l may be permitted. dear brethren, to
give the testimony of my own expert
ence on the sanctifying influence of the
Sacrament Of Penance. Since my or
dination, nearly a half century ago. 7

Be Careful What You Say.

In speaking of a persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own:
Remember, those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone:
If we have nothing else to do
Than talk of those who sin,
lis better to commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man,
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company.
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has
not
The old as well as young:
Perhaps we may, for aught we know
Have fifty TO their one
I'll tell you of a better plan.
And find it works full we'll.
To try my own defects to cure
Ere others faults / tell;
And though I sometimes hope to be
No worse than some l know.
My own shortcomings ibid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we begin
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember-curses sometimes. like
Our chickens-'roost at home
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

A Hard Test.

The boy was twelve years old. All
he knew of life was that there were
nine months of school, with a lot of
play, and three months of a lot of play
and no school.
This vacation was to be a little diff
ferent, but the boy didn't know it.
Come on, son, l need your help
said the father one evening after his
own days work was done. II want
this dirt carried UP to our flat"
The boy opened his mouth wide. His
father wanted him to carry baskets
of dirt up three flights of steps. There
was queer feeling of resentment all
about inside of him.
Il can't carry dirt" he said.
Never too late to learn said father,
good-naturedly. Here you take the
lighter baskets
Up the stairs went the boy. The air
was close and he got hot and breath
less.
Down he came again. The dirt had
to be dug and shoveled into the bas-
kets. He grew hotter and the sweat
began to trickle down his back.
The boys are playing ball. I'm go
ing over" he said at last with impa-
thence. Il can't shovel dirt
"All right, my boy" said father;
but I'm disappointed in you. l had
expected to find you able to stick to
thing. I'd counted on your help.
zoo; but it's all right, go ahead and
play ball.
The boy washed his hands and went
over into the next yard. 1t was the
first time he ever remembered feeling
uncomfortable when playing ball. To-
night it wasn't much fun.
Pretty soon he left the boys and went
upstairs to his mother. By and by he
came down, rolled up his sleeves and
went at the shoveling.
His father had planned a little gar
den for the fire-escape corner. 1t took
a lot of dirt
The boy sweated and puffed. He
blistered his hands; but he stuck.
At last the work was done. Father
and son washed themselves and got
ready for supper
After supper when the father had
stretched himself out for a pleasant
hour with his newspaper the boy came
to him.
Il guess, father" he said with an
air half-ashamed. and yet of new man.

Good for you" said father.

portunity of testing the value of this
means of grace. And the impressions
forced on my mind, far from being pc
culiar to myself, are shared by every
Catholic clergyman throughout the
Wrold who is charged with the care of
souls. And the testimony of a few ex-
perienced confessors, in my estimation,
ought to have more weight in enabling
men to judge of the moral tendencies
OF the sacred tribunal than the gra-
tultous assertion of thousand indi-
Vlduals who have no personal expert
ence of the confessional, but who draw
on heated imagination or on the pages
OF sensational novels for statements
they advance.
L am persuaded that the CONFESSIONS
is one of the most powerful moral levers
ever designed by a merciful God for
raising man from the pool of despair
and the nire of sin, it has more weight
IN Withdrawing people from vice than
even the pulpit. In public sermons we
scatter the seed of the word of God; in
the confessional we reap the harvest.
In sermons, to use a military phrase,
we fire at random; in the confessional
we take a sure aim. The words of the
priest go home to the heart Of the PEN

a fight for their church is concerned,
that is neither fish, flesh nor good
red herring. This picture is dark, but
not overdrawn.
But though hard struggle comes, it
will do only what persecution has done
to purify and ennoble the sturdy Cath
olics of America, Ireland, Germany,
Poland and some parts of the east. And
when all those sin-sodden men and the
societies they have formed are passed
away and gone, to their place you will
still find the Rock of Peter calmly de-
claring, as of old:

Deadly Campaign Projected.

With the death of the anarchist lead
~. Ferrer, of Spain, and the agitation
following ii that turned Rome first into
a pandemonium and then into a silent
city. where all business was paralyzed
by the followers of the cowardly Span
ish conspirator, new era has dawned
for the church in the Eternal City. In
the near future a campaign will be ini-
tiated throughout Italy, and especially
i'm Rome, against the church which per-
haps shall be scarcely excelled in fury
and intensity since she issued from the
catacombs. At the present hour it is
injurious to be pessimistic, but it is
more so to be too optimistic for those
who gauge the times well see dark,
fierce-looking clouds ahead, and opti-
mism would hinder preparations pro-
portionate to the struggle.
The first decision taken by the fol-
lowers of Ferrer-among whom an
archists, socialists, Masons and Glor-
iano Brunoites are to be counted in
Rome by thousands-is to remove the
modern school where youths are
trained up according to their ideas, to
Rome and establish it before the eyes
OF the vatican. Next the suppression of
the religious congregations is persisted
in by them. After this comes a de-
mana Tor tne WlInQrdWaI Dy Lne lIaIldn
government of the laws of guarantees
and the taking over of the vatican by
that body. These combined with the
absolute secularization of the schools
and the abolition of Christian marriage,
comprise the program of those bands
so far.
But one may feel inclined to pooh
pooh the idea of these demands being
granted, believing to such a pass things
could never come in Rome. Well, the
Giolitti ministry is expected to fall
within a few months; revolution in
Italy is said to be only a matter of a
few years at the utmost, King Victor
Emmanuel has millions of francs in
vested outside Italy, especially in Eng
land. as is well known, and the majori-
ty of Italian Catholics are made of that
backboneless, jelly-fish material, where

The Priest of the Sacred Heart.

In one of the poorest districts of
Rome, attached to a little new church
dedicated to the Sacred Heart and ST
Dominic, erected by himself, there
dwells a twentieth century saint. His
days are passed in the service, both
spiritual and corporal, of his necessi-
tous and occasionally ungrateful neigh
bors. The children love him; there is
no good work that does not gratefully
acknowledge the benediction of his
earnest interest, but before and above
all he is known solely and simply as
THE Priest of the Sacred Heart
For the love of the Incarnate Love is
his life's great passion. And this title is
at once his dearest treasure and his
greatest humiliation. For he was not
always a vessel of election" rather his

Sacred Heart, lone of tie miracles of
its mercy" as he himself has been
heard to say.

How many of us think of thanking
God during the day when we receive
some signal blessing? You may be very
fond of praying to Him for favors. but
how often do you thank Him for favors
received? And yet you know you can
not move finger without His help
You cannot perform a single act which
merits for eternity unless He gives you
the grace necessary. Did you ever
think how sad Jesus must have felt
when of the ten lepers whom He had
cured only one came to thank Him? And
Jesus, answering. said: Were there
not ten cleansed? But where are the
nine?" So it is daily when He cures
you from leprosy worse than theirs
when He cleanses your sins in the Sac
rament of Penance and visits you in the
Sacrament of the Altar. Try, then, to
thank Him every morning and evening,
that you may not deserve the reproach
of those nine ungrateful ones men

Success.

WASHINGTON, jan 29-That the
rich, low, moist, bottom lands of the
Missouri and Mississippi, as far north
as Iowa, are available for raising rice,
has been proved by experiments in
Lee county, Iowa. in the last year.
The department of agriculture has just
received full reports.
Rice from Texas was planted on low
lands in Lee county, where 1t is pos
slble to store water from the spring
overflow and let it out as needed dur

bushels per acre was raised. 1t is
found tn season is amply long for
rice to mature, requiring 134 to- 145
days without frost

WASHINGTON. D. c. Jan. 29.--As
a sequel in the house today to Rainey's
sensational Panama speech there was
read a cablegram from Charles p. Taft
in which Taft denied of having any
connection with the Panama deal or
business association with Williams
Nelson Cromwell. He said he relied
on Rainey's honor to retract what he
said Rainey in a speech said he had
no desire to controvert in any way
Taft and congratulated Taft upon his
complete reputation of Cromwell. He
said it was unnecessary for him to re-
tract anything he had said, however
and quoted from his previous speech
the part involving Charles p. Taft.
He said Taft would be rendering
great service if he would send de-
nial of having any connection with the
''nfamous scheme to the Panama
1 assembly, repudiating Cromwell on
| the Isthmus of Panama with tie same
\ enthusiasm as he did to him. He
propriety suggest that the president
elect might render no greater service

and Cromwell are proceeding under
certificates of good character given
to them by the president elect" He
suggested Taft should remove both
men from their present politica.
