The guests had not been assembled
at the table a very long interval, be-.

a song sheet prepared for the occasion.
The gentleman who prepared the song
sheet Is entitled to the thanks of every
ascendant, for it thaWed the ice of
Eormality and produced . unity Of
spirit which was the predominating
feature of the occasion. There ia
nothing to draw men nearer to each
other than the old melodies sung in
chorus, and the spirit engendered,
which Is neither sadness nor mirth,
but q mixture Of both, Is a spirit that
represents what is best in us. It is
. receptive spirit. and 1t prepared the
company to receive the words of the
brilliant men on the speakers lipt
with keen appreciation. This same
magnetic spirit enabled the speakers
to give the best they had, for good
listeners help good orators, and that
Is the reason that We sat until nearly
"a O'Clock in the morning without
realizing the lateness Of the hour and
thoroughly Interested all the way.
Number 4 on the song sheet, sung to
the tune of Wearing of the Green, :"
proved favorite. Il must have been
sung at least 80 times:-
If the day looks kinder gloomy
An your chances kinder slim,

An the prospects, awful grim,
An perplexit.es keep pressin'
Till all hope Is nearly gone,
JUS bristle up, and grit your teeth, E
An keep on keepin' on.
"Harrigan" was another fayorite,
and the two songs produced rival
factions. When Lowell and his merry,
mates started Keep On Keepin'

each other out must have been heard

Why Protestants Are Losing in Ger
many.

A recent article in the New York
Independent, Protestant paper, shows
that the Protestant churches in Ger
many are losing at the rate of $4,000
per annum as a consequence of the in
roads of socialism.
The utter failure of the Protestant
church, says the article, to do justice
to the social problem is admitted on
all sides. An attempt was made to
form a Christian Socialistic party
among the Protestants, but this proved
an absolute failure. Catholic social
cess. The Catholic church in South
Germany has the hearts of the people
and especially the poorer classes with
it. The great meetings of Catholic So
cietieS of many kinds held every year
show how much personal interest there
is in church matters among the laity
the rapid growth of Catholicism in Ger
many and now the rapid decline of
Professionalism makes it clear that it
will not be long before the most Protes-
tant country in Europe, the home of the
reformation so-called, will have changed
its complexion from a religious stand
point and Germany viii once more be
largely within the fold of the Old
church.
The forces among the German peo-
pie that have combatted the attacks
of the extreme socialists have been vic
torious all along the line. Their sue
cess has been due to the able manner
in which they have taken up the study
Of social conditions and met the eX-
treme socialists on every issue.

A French Freethinker's Defense of
the Index.

The recent condemnation of irrelig-
ious textbooks by the French bishops
has given the irreligious press Of
France a preteXt for repeating their at
tacks upon the church, and especially
against the Index.
The common sense view of the matter
was given about fifty years ago by the
nationalist, Francisque Sarcey, a well
known literary critic and a member or
the French Academy. He wrote; IN
my opinion it is one of the most silly
commonplaces of free thought to cry
out against the congregation of the
Index and its condemnation of certain
books. Why, here are men with def1-
mite beliefs, and with mission to pro-
tect those beliefs against at4cks from
outside men, who conscientiously con-
slider this mission a grave duty; they
read a newly published book and then
they say to those who share their faith:
BE careful! The ideas scattered
through this book are subversiVe of the
fundamental principles on which our
faith rests. In reading it you might
unconsciously adopt dangerous notions.
We warn you of the danger Is there
anything in words like these but what
is perfectly in harmony with reason and
common sense? Please remark well that
lllG COnRT6SdltOll vi lllt lllOGA GOGS llOS
address its DEGREES to unbelievers, on
whom it has no influence. 7 hese are
therefore, entirely free to buy and if
they p lease, to learn by heart the works
censured by the church. What reason,
then, have they to complain?
THE DEGREES of the church are only
for Catholics; they come to her as faith
full children and ask: Mother, may 1
read this book?' She answesr: No,
my children, it would be dangerous for
your eternal salvation. > The CEN
sure of a book by the Index, then, con-
sists in putting label upon the work
with the inscription, DO not read this
under pain of eternal damnation.'
Those, therefore, who DO not believe in
eternal damnation, have nothing to fear
from this censure.
THE congregation of the Index does
exactly what we literary critics are
constantly doing when we warn the
public not to read books written with
bad taste or in bad style. Those who
have no faith in use disregard the warn
ing; but in giving it we fulfill our mis-
sion. In the same way the Index full
fills a duty in warning the faithful OF
the dangers to which they expose them
selves by reading certain books. Who
can blame the congregation for this?
How is it, then, that some free thinkers
cry out against a procedure which they
themselves use in a more drastic and
more tyrannical way?"

Chapel That is Lined With Human
Skulls.

Evora, in Portugal, has the gruesome
honor of possessing a chapel that rivals
the Capuchine of Rome, writes Eliza
beth Angela Henry in Pen pictures
from Portugal to the Buffalo Union and
Times. The entire enterior is con-
structed of human skulls and bones.
Considerable artistic work is displayed
in the decoration of this CHASTITY death
chamber, arches( cornices and panels.
And where ordinarily would be placed
statue or picture is hung a human
skeleton. From where was gathered
this awful collection no one appears to
know The chapel is attached to the
Church of ST. Francis, but no commu-
nifty Of dead friars could furnish such
an array Nothing short of the battle
field of Salamis would seem to suffice.
The Church of st. Francis, built five
centuries ago, is most interesting. It's
vestibule is stately as the brilliant pos
sessions of the Knights of Aviz who
often passed through its door carrying
cross and sword. The portal is orna-
mented with a coat of arms embodying
the two hemispheres, a device adopted
after the country's discoveries in the
Far East.
An open space stretches before the
church, and crossing it l passed wall,
near which were tethered horses of a
tribe of gypsies. Strolling on still far
ther through the avenue of graceful
fragrant pepper trees 1 reached one of
the sights of the town, church that
might easily be mistaken for fortress.
1t was erected in those far-off fighting
days. st. Blaise, its patron, is no longer
honored within its doors; it is empty,
the lovely blue mural tiling is now the
sole attraction to the passer-by.

Catholics Won Mexican Independence

The centenary of the independence of
the Republic of Mexico will be cele-
brated this fall. Regarding the part that
the Catholic church will take in the
celebration the we'll informed Mexican
Herald says: Though the ecclesiasti-
cal authorities of the Catholic church
in Mexico are not able to state exactly
what will be done in the churches to
commemorate the centenary of the in
dependence of Mexico, it is given out
that the Catholic church in general, and
the diocese of Mexico in particular will
do its part in honoring the memory of
the heroes of that independence which
was won by priest, Father Hidalgo
He saw his land was crushed beneath
the milliard injustices of Spain, and
reused his countrymep, and took up
the sword and with it eventually carried
out the liberty of his native country
He had assistance, it is true, but he
was the first, and at all times the most
unquailing. 1t is pity that those who
today rule Mexico do not oftener re-
member that the freedom of the lard
they govern was obtained by the very
church they persecute Another Father
Hidalgo is needed in Mexico to gain
for the church and her children the veft
liberty they won

japanese Prisoners.

They have a clever way of dealing
with recalcitrant prisoners in Japan.
The prisoners are obliged to work in
roomy workshops where there is an in
flexible discipline. The prison fare con-
sists Of rice and each prisoner is given
portion, great or small, in proportion
to the quantity of work done. If one
refuses TO work, there is no hectoring.
He is led quietly away. But when meal
time canes, he gets the smallest guam
tity that the doctor advises is necessary
to suppoet life. AS he is not fought he
has no excuse for showing fight. No
explanations are offered, but the hun
ger treatment always reduces him to
reason, and next day he is ready enough
to take his work. The report does not
say how they would deal with prisoners
whose indiscipline takes the form of re-
fusing all food.
