A Protestant Minister'S Tribute tc
Catholic Church.

The distinguished Unitarian minister
Rev. Mr.. Martineau, pays the follow.
ing tribute to the Catholic Church:

the sole vehicle of Christianity that bore
it one over the storm of ages and shell

to its wild and vo1uptuous dreams. II
received into it's bosom the savage con-
Querors of the North and nursed them
successfully out of utter barbarism II
stood by the desert fountain, from
which all modern history flows, and
dropped into it the sweetening branch
of Christian truth and peace II pre-
sided at the birth of art. and literally
gave its tradition into young hands of
color and design. Traces of its labors
and of its versatile power over the hu-
man mind are scattered throughout the

A Sad End.

When a Catholic falls away from
the Church, he long cherishes the hope
that some day he will return to it
some day he will reform, some day he
will give up the sin that caused his
downfall, some day he will turn over a
new leaf, some day he will attend a
mission, some day he will return to
his Heavenly Father as the Prodigal
Son went back to the home of his child
hood and find peace.
This hope never quite leaves him so
long as a spark of faith remains. 1t
may grow dim. 1t may cease to
trouble his conscience except at long
intervals. He may even put off the
ideas of conversion until the hour of
death. But that hope still cheers him
amidst the gloom of soul brought ON
by sin. -
If a person could be sure of his time
1t would not be so desperate risk to
defer his reconciliation with God But
there is no certainty of life from day
to day, even from minute to minute.
Death comes in ten thousand ways. 1t
often springs on its victim unexpect-
eddy.
To the Catholic who has lost the
state of grace who has neglected his
Easter duty, who has practically ex-
communicated himself by attempting to
contract marriage outside of the church,
or by any such other public sin, there
is often no chance given. He is stricken
with apoplexy or heart disease; he is
killed in an accident; he is taken away
suddenly, with no opportunity to call
for the priest or even to make an act
of contrition.
Then the Church, that he disowned
in life, disowns him in death. His
corpse may not be taken before its al
tar. Its absolution and its last bless
ing are not for him. He must be buried
elsewhere than in consecrated ground.
1t is sad end for the life that be-
gan, spiritually, in the white innocence
of baptism.-True Voice

Though many crin1esswere subsequently

of the Nazarene, whose whole life was

FeTts to the religion of Christ, slowly

civilization. In its unity, aim and pur-
pose, and in its, rigid disciplinarianism
lies the great strength of the Roman
Catholic organization. At the base of
ali creeds lies faith, and the Catholic
Church demands or commands, implicit
obedience to the beliefs promulgated by
it, strict obedience to the tenets of its
creed. presenting to the membership of
the whole the single alternative of be-

Antiquity of the Water Pump.

The water pump of today is but an
Improvement on a Grecian invention
which first came into use during the
reign of Ptolemies Philadelphas and
Energetes, 2SS to 221 B. C. The name,
which is very similar. in all languages,
is derived from the Greek word pempo,
to send or throw. The most ancient de-
scriptions we have of a water pump
is by Hero of Alexandria There is no
authentic account of the general use of
the pump in Germany previous to the
beginning of the sixteenth century. At
about that time, the endless chain and
bucket works for raising water from
mines began to be replaced by pumps.
In the seventeenth century rotating
pumps, like the Pappenham engine,
with two pistons, and the Prince Ru-
pert, with one, were first used. Pumps
with piunger pistons were invented by
Morland, an Engiishman. in 1914 and
