cerely hope that If such a resolution
is placed before the convention it will
not arouse a single dissenting voice.
In the common cause let all selfish
motives be laid aside and let all be
done that can possibly be done to speed
happy solution Of the present poll

Standard does not wish to pose as a

will characterize all its meetings and
that its results will be beneficial to

Tho Secret Of Happiness.

An Italian bishop struggled through
great difficulties without repining ur
betraying the least Impotence. One
of his intimate friends, who highly ad-
mired the virtues which he thought
it impossible to initiate, one day asked
the prelate if he could communicate
the secret of being always easy.
YES" replied the cid man, II can
teach you my secret with great facil-
1ty; 1t consists of nothing more than
making a right use of my eyes," His
friend begged of him to explain him.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

A movement has been inaugurated
in the Immaculate Conception Church
in this city which is intended to slim
ulate interest in literature dealing with
the dogmas of the faith. The work
has been undertaken at the suggestion
Of Archbishop Ireland. The plan is to
distribute short monographs on reli-
gious subjects each Sunday. The
sermon of the day will be on the sub
ject discussed in the pamphlet. The
pamphlet will serve to supplement the
sermon. The Pensioners will be en-
couraged to spend a few minutes each
day reading these tracts and as the
subject matter contained in them will
deal with the fundamental doctrines OF
the Church they will be gaining infor-
nation that will be useful for them in
defending Catholicity against attacks
and, explaining Catholic doctrines to
those who seek information.
This is an innovation in western
churches and while the custom of dis
tributing religious tracts is not new
in eastern churches the plan in opera
ton here has some features that have
not been tried before. If it is found
to be successful here it will be put
in orperation in the various churches
in the diocese.
It is hoped by the means outlined
to form department Of literature In
the Church which will create a taste
for church literature and result in a
general enlightenment on Catholic doc
trines. The monograph will contain III
condensed form clear statement o;
the teaching of the Church on the
points discussed.
The plan was inaugurated last Sun
day. The first tract given out was
Cardinal Gibbons work. Faith of Oul
Fathers" several hundred copies Of
which were distributed after Mass. II
is an undertaking that merits approval
and the outcome Of the trial being
made at the Immaculate Conception

No More Fees at Church Doors.

The latest reform document of pope
Piux X, as interpreted by the Ecclesi.
astical Review, the official organ of
the clergy of this country, will do
away with the practice of collecting
fee at church doors at services
which now prevails in this and other
countries.
The bulletin makes it obligatory
upon bishops to make full reports
of the conditions of things, both TEN.
poral and spiritual in their diocese.
The bishop must answer for priests
OF the diocese: Are there any meth
DDS which give rise to complaints on
account of exorbitant fees demanded
at funerals or marriages, or on &C
count of the rigor with which such
fees are exacted?"
The Pope has demanded full re-
port of the zeal with which priests
answer sick calls at all hours of the
day. The bishops will be required tc
report whether the priests shirk con
fessional work or any other of thei1
duties.

ATTENDING DAILY MASS.

In Catholic Churches the Holy Sac
rifice of the Mass is offered up every
morning. Catholics believe that the
great sacrifice Of Calvary is there re-
enacted. 1t is the central act of Cath
Ollie worship, an act which shows the
unspeakable love Of God for man. The
Mass is the great sacrifice Of love and
humility. In the form Of the conse-
Grated wafer the Saviour deigns to
come to us and remain on our affairs.
What greater proof of His love can
any one want. And yet how many there
are living within easy access of the
Church who might with very little ef-
fort attend the Holy Sacrifice daily
or at least few times during the week
but who never thing Of going there
except on Sunday morning.
We are, it is true, living up to the
requirements of the Church If we at
tend to our duty on Sunday but in do
Ing that we are acknowledging but

cred upon us; we are not showing any
great desire for the blessings that are
held out to those who seek earnestly
for grace from Heaven.
Our Church doors are always open
and all who pass are welcome to en-
ter and to pray. Reposing in the taber-
nacle in all humility is the Giver Of all
good things. Is that not sufficient in
ducement to turn our steps toward
Heaven?
After all we are inclined at times to
be a little inconsistent. We seldom
pray with devotion except when we
are overcome by trouble. Then we
turn to God and In our anxiety almost
command Him to crafty our wishes.
But as soon as calm is restored we
grow cold and forgetful.
Pope Piux X Is DESTROYS that where
ever it is possible Catholics not only
attend Mass daily but that they go to
daily Communion. The Holy Father
is DESTROYS that the best use be made
of the means Of grace which is offered
US. In carrying out his wishes we
are doing no more than showing our
appreciation of favors. To do these
things requires an effort on our part
but 1t is an effort that will be we'll re-
paid.

Church that they will be able to guard
against unwholesome literature. Nor
should any Catholic home be without
a Catholic paper for the we'll gotten
up Catholic paper has a freshness
about it which commends it to the
attention of its readers each week
making it one Of the most effective
teachers of Catholic truths.
The Catholic paper is a watchful
sentinel which halts the intruders on
Catholic doctrine and demands their
credentials. 1t contains reliable news
unembellished by sensational touches;
1t details Catholic projects and gives
digest Of Catholic thoughts; it en-
courages good works and compliments
worthy achievements. In word It
strives in multiplicity of ways to
make the world little better. It's
work is a worthy, unselfish work.
Whatever of good it does is common
gain.
Archbishop Spalding once said: 1--WE
are developed and formed more by
what we admire and love than by what
we simply know" We all try hardest
to attain the things that appeal to us
most. The friends we admire are the
ones that are going to influence the
development Of our character. 1t is
not straining the point to carry the
analogy into the field of reading mat
ter. If then the Catholic paper car
ries to its readers each week few
words Of inspiration that strike a re-
sponsive chord in their hearts it's work
10 not being done in vain. No paper
can hope to alleviate all the wrongs
and sorrows, sins and miseries of the
world but every Catholic paper does
hope to perform a humble portion Of
the great work of defending and
spreading the faith and adding a little
sunshine to lives that might otherwise
not have been so happy.
Cooperation and encouragement
are necessary for the best performance
of this great work. Nothing can cleo
trify ones efforts more than the con-
seriousness that his work is being ap-
preciated. Every Catholic may help
by saying a good word in behalf
of the paper of his choice.

During the ages Of faith" says the
Catholic Sun, lit is said that women
were so devoted to religion that when
anything was wanted for the great
cathedrals that were building, they
would pawn or sell their jewels In
order that work might not be delayed.
The men were none the less devoted
and it was no unusual thing for them
to dispose of different kinds of prop
erty in order to add to the building
or decorating fund. Imagine in this
age a woman or q man pawning u
diamond for the benefit of the church.
Such a one would be looked upon as

ANGLo-AMERlcAN ALLIANcE.'

In an editorial the Minneapolis
Journal points out the fact that Ire
land is the obstacle which prevents
the natural cooperation between
America and Great Britain that
would mean peace on earth and the
progress Of civilization commerce, cul-
ture, law" The editorial adds:
CO. operation between the two Eng
lish- speaking Powers is required to
keep the open door in the Far East to
keep the Pacific from becoming an
Oriental lake, to keep the Monroe Doc
trine inviolate, to develop North Amer
lea as a commercial and cultural unit,
to guarantee to Australasia and South
Africa such a progress under the free
institutions of a white race as our
own has been. The advantages would
be reciprocal and mutual, whereas the
disadvantages of incorporation are
being registered by the present defeat
of our diplomacy in Manchuria and
China"
by corporation the Journal means
an alliance between America and Eng
land, and the context of the above
quotation seems to indicate as much,
Irish Americans will protest with a sim
gle voice, against the suggestion. The
Journal seems to think that If Ireland
were given Home Rule "co-operation"
would be the natural outcome. Such
a thing is inconceivable and far from
desirable.
The sentiment expressed by the
Journal is an echo of that expressed
by the Duke of Sutherland who, by the
way, is the second richest duke in Eng
land, when he proposed what he term
ed "gentleman's alliance" between
America and England which would
preserve the worlds peace and give
an impetus to the growth Of a higher

READING MATTER FOR THE HOME

Among the many influences That go
to develop character there is perhaps
none more potent than that exercised
by the literature one reads. Shame
will deter the ordinary person from as
sociating with those individuals and
frequenting those places that are
pointed out as things to be avoided
but literature Of the most demoraliz-
ing kind may be secured and read in
the privacy of the home without par
ents or guardians being aware until,
alas, it has had its blighting influence
on the unfortunate being who has con-
tracted the contagion of evil reading.
And there Is no question but that bad
books are worse than bad companions
for the foul utterances Of the latter
may in time be forgotten but the I'M
holy thoughts that are once penned are
there to excite the passions of the
slave of evil literature as often as the
temptation impels it's victim to the
feast of poison.
There is a grave danger, especially
for the young. unguarded person, in
indiscriminate reading. There are hun
dreds of periodicals on the market to-
day that contain immoral stories and
advertisements that are not At to read.
Yet they are accessible to young per-
sons who are at liberty to devour
their contents and have their young
minds blackened by the indellible stain
of foul thoughts.
Parents owe it to their children to
exercise the closet vigilance over
what they read. If they would have

WoMAN'S PRIVILEGES.

In the opening address at the sum-
'mer school being held at Sprink Bank,
Archbishop Messmer said it is incor-
rect to speak of equal rights for women.
Similar rights is the expression that
should be used for though men have
certain rights which women have not,
women, on the other hand, have many
rights which men do not have.
The Archbishop's words are very
suggestive. Many of the women who
are clamoring for the right of suffrage
overlook the fact that their power to
aid the cause Of their country does not
depend on the privilege of the ballot.
To them belongs the God-given right
to mold the minds of our future States
men when they are at their most plant
age. This is a privilege many times
greater than the right of suffrage for
after all single ballot is small fact
or in a state or national election, but
q young man or woman with noble
ideals, and a character properly devel-
oped by dutiful mother is gift to
the nation which the nation cannot
repay, a factor for the betterment of
the country of more value than the
right of suffrage million times over.
Law makers may sit in session and
pass laws that are wise and just and
still social conditions may be far
from desirable. Laws on statute books
are like locks on doors. They warn
the public of it's limitations but they
cannot prevent people from doing that
which they warn against. The rigid
enforcement of penalties, it is true, will
lessen the number of transgressions,
but that does not make society much
better for the man who is restrained
from doing evil only because he fears
the penalties of civil law is criminal
at heart.
What the country needs is men who
respect the moral law, men who realize
that in the sight of God an equally
grevious wrong may be done by eth
er thought, word, deed or omission
and not unprincipled wretches of such
dow and shameful morals that they
are willing to barter their honor for
material gain if they can see pos
sible means of escaping popular deris-
ion. The country has too many of the
n tot, 1,,,,ys hat,
into legislatures only to sell their in
fiuence to the highest bidder when they
get there.
To mothers is due in large measure
the standard of craftsmanship in the
deeds of public men to their real be-
ginnings he would almost invaria bly,
find that they had their origin at some
humble fireside where an angelic wom-
an devoted her leisure hours to train
ing the tendrils of youth to cling to
those principles that possess the charm
of eternal duration.
Every now and then a national
crisis comes and the one who makes
good at the helm is pronounced a great
man. Any man whose character l.,
grounded on right principles who has
strong personality and reasonable in
tellect, has all the elements of great
ness. The men whose names live in
history are men of such qualities whose
worth circumstances have conspired to
put to the test.
