KING ALFONSO.

King Alfonso. writes Mrs. c. e.
Jeffrey, has at last returned to Spain
after his prolonged holiday 1t may
possibly have seemed strange to some
people to find him light-heartedly
throwing himself into the pleasures of
the hour while his kingdom was con-
vulsed from end to end by the throes
of a religious crisis that might easily
have become a revolution. Nero fid-
died while Rome was burning; and to
many il appeared that his Most Cath
Ollie Majesty was shooting pigeons and
playing polo while his throne was slip
ping away from beneath him. But
imagine there was a method in this
seeming madness for which he was not
altogether accountable. 1t is reason
able to suppose that Senior CanaleJas,
who appears. to have the boy king well
under his thumb. deliberately planned
to get hin4 away lest he should pc
bored by having to receive the peti-
tons of. his outraged Catholic sub

THE BEST THING TO LEAVE YOUR

The best legacy a man can leave
his children is the memory and in
fluence of a large, broad, finely de-
veloped mentality. well disciplined,
highly cultured mind. sweet, beau

everybody who comes in contact with
it, refined personality. a magnani-
nous spirit.
To leave a clean record, an unfair
nished name, name which COM
manded respect, an honesty and in
tegrity which were above suspicion;
this is a legacy worth while, wealth
beyond the reach of fire or flood, dis
aster or accident on land or sea.
This is a legacy allied to divinity
To bring your children up to serve
God. to respect themselves. to love
the right and hate the wrong, to be

WHERE is MY BOY TONIGHT?

"
In how many homes is that question
unsolved, and what sorrowful cOun-
tenances and sad hearts are bordering
over it. Now. reader, it is not your
home refereed to by us: it is only that
home where my boy is not home to-
night" and while we can almost sur
mise of his wherea bouts, vet we dare
not, less it might prove true. One
thing is true: in this world evil int1u
ences lurk on every hand, and his
young, frank. noble heart is suscepti-
BILE of being influenced, did his feet
first learn to wander away from the
safe and sacred influences. of home?
Was it not when you had the power
and influence to lead him in the path
of virtue and right? Did you hope
somehow or other. though a tremor
ran through your soul when YOU first
saw him turn from home to the world
with its unhallOwed Influences, that he
would soon return? Delusive hope.
How stand the records? Look at the
wandering sons today, with manhood
all gone, hearts hardened and black
ened by sin, and the aching hearts in
desolute homes, because the wanderer
is a wanderer still. Then rest thou
not for a moment, but walk myself in

him from the path of rectitude and

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH's STAND

The Catholic Church stands just
where she stood in Luther's time She
is the preserver of the Bible; the
witness to its truth; the authoritative
teacher of its meaning. She has ever
held it to be absurd to say that man
was given a great series of intricate
puzzles to solve. and the key to their
solution withheld. from him. She has
always taught that there was more
than the Bible provided for his guild
ance; and that faith is something
more than intellectual conviction. She
has always been conscious that with
out her evidence. the Bible could not
be proved to be true, and she has seen
hundreds of bodies Of Christians who
refused to call her as a witness, lose
their case before the world. She
alone has been able to point backward
to the days of Jesus Christ. and say
to men, in the words of St Paul. that
she has received from the Lord that
which she has delivered unto them"
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1910-09-24

The crisis over for the moment, the
king has returned home.
We are now told that at the cabinet
council at which he presided, Senior
Canalejas reported fully on the polit-
zeal and religious situation, and that
the king expressed his full approval
of the actions of the government.
Which scarcely looks like the attitude
of a devoted son of the Church. On
the other hand, last week MOnsignor
VicO, the Papal Nuncio, reported by
telegram the result of his interview
with the queen mother. She avowed
herself now as ever the dutiful and
devoted daughter of the Pope, and
expressed her deep grief at seeing
Spain marching on the road of anti
clericalism: at the same time she said
she could not Intervene in any way,
as her influence had no longer any
weight in the councils, from which
she was excluded. For the rest she
said the court had ceased TO be Cath
Ollie except in name.
Under all circumstances il would ap-
pear as if the young king of Spain was
hardly the dutiful and loyal son either
of the Church or his mother, which
the bringing up of such a mother
would justify US in expecting.
It is also Tumored that Senior Cana
lejas is preparing a still greater tri-
umph for the Spanish anti-clerical
government. and that he intends to
send the Spanish sovereign on a visit
to the king and queen of Italy-and
that shortly. If that rumor should
prove true, it is not difficult to foresee
trouble. Alfonso'S throne is shaky
enough now, and the rupture with the
Pope that such a visit would cause
would probably bring it tumbling
about his ears. Alfonso is in the I'M
enviable position of being between the
devil and the deep sea-between the
Republican party whose agents are
making a tool of him and into whose
hands he is playing, and Don Jaime de
Bourbon, who, all said and done, is the
legitimate heir to the Spanish throne,
but who will certainly step in, as he
himself has declared, should Alfonso
forget his title-that of Most Cath |
Ole King.
Whatever happens. we may rest as
sured of one thing: Catholic Spain
is Catholic to the backbone. and it |
will take more than even international |
Jacobinism to wrench her from Cath !
Ollie Unity.

WHAT NENTo

The present King George V did not
relish the idea of taking the old corm
of the coronation oath, and he was
supported in his objection by the pro-
tests of his Catholic subjects and the
sympathy of the more enlightened and
liberal among those who were non
Catholics. An acta of parliament was
passed relieving him from the odious
ordeal Now the king simply swears
that he is a faithful Protestant, and
under that liberal construction of his
religious faith he may be anything
from Holy Roller to a High Church
Ritualist without endangering his
right to the crown
