Conservation Needed.

In one OF the finest specimens of rhetor-
ical form of power that we will find IN
our study of Isaiah he secures the atten-
ton of the people by the story of his
friends vineyard. The simple story ap-
pealed to them all because they were ac-
quainted with the cultivation of grapes.
The vineyards fourished upon the noun
tain sides around Jerusalem as they do
today around Lake Keuka and the other
famous vineyard sections of New York.
They realized. as they followed with their
sympathy the opening verses of the song,
that the vineyard had been we'll located
In a place that gave promise of fertility,
that the preparation by collecting the
stones out of the field and building a
fence with them was their method of pre-
pairing vineyard. The choice Of the
Sorek vine was the best variety raised
They were justified in expecting good
results on a vineyard protected by tow
ers. thoroughly cultivated, equipped with
up-to-date methods and appliances for
the extracting the Juice from the grapes
for food. While the product could by
human ingenuity be turned into intoxicat-
ing vines Fenton. one OF the best au-
thorities, from a careful pathological,
literary and critical examination of the
Hebrew. Chaldee and Greek texts, claims
that the thirteen words. translated indis-
criminately wines" and strong drinks
are mistranSlations. as the product de-
rived from the grapes was mot intoxi-
cants. but goods which was their ordi-
nary form of consumption" The Bible
does not approve of the use of intoxicat-
ing drinks.
When Isaiah demanded a verdict In the
third verse from the people as TO what
his friend ought to do with such a vine
yard the answer was SO obvious that the
people practically assented to their own
condemnation before they caught the full
significance of the parable. The vineyard
that produced such wild grapes ought to
be completely destroyed. Its very ex-
istence imperiled other vineyards. If the
the wild beasts would make quick work
Of 1t. Their judgment on the unproduc-
tive vineyard became clearly a condemna-

toward his conclusion. That the prophet
meant them became certain when he
changes the rhythm Of the song. throws
off the disguise and makes the applica-
ton with the crashing. crushing con-
domination when he interprets the para
BILE by saying for the vineyard of the
Lord Of Hosts Is the house of Israel and
the men OF Judah His precious plant; and
He looked for judgment but behold OPP
preston; for righteousness. but behold
cry" The tragedy Of the unproductive
vineyard was a voice arising from the
ground calling the nation before the bar
Of Judgment. The nation that wastes its
resources is imperiled. but the nation that
wastes its manhood is doomed. Judah
had done both and merited the condem-
nation Of Jehovah.

strong drink. Isaiah. e
u worlds history has been preceded
by the birth OF a song The great
est event in the annals OF men was pro-
claimed by the angelic chorus to the
shepherds watching their fioces by night
on the Judean hills. The reformation I'M
der Luther won many triumph because
his great battle hymn moved men. Crom-
wells army was led into victory by in
spring songs. The thrilling strains OF
The MarseiIlaise stirred the sons of
France in the French revolution. No
great popular victories are won without
an outburst Of song. The great political
revivals through which the nation passes
In the presidential campaigns are marked
by song that stirs the heart to be loyal
to the party. The political managers are
the worlds great evangelists. The prin-
ctpleS Of their campaigns are iuentlcat
with those conducted by any successful
evangelist. although the methods differ
because the cause and conditions are not
! Identical The story Of Moodys fabors
would be incomplete without Sankey, the
sweet singer of Israel
The marvellous success OF the SalVatlon
Army has been due largely to Its eHectiVe
street preaching. TIE sold ers secure a
| congregation through the popular songs
of the army. 1ney were not the pioneers
of this method of securing a congrega-
ton. for Bishop Aldhelm in the seventh
century attracted a crowd to hear his gos-
pei message by standing on the street
corners and playing upon his harp.
In this the noted divine followed the ex-
ample of the illustrious Isaiah. who Sc
cured an audience to hear his message by
the effectiveness of song.

Parable Teaching.

This song has rightly been cailed
parable, for 1t makes a comparison be-
tween the condition OF the country and
the vineyard. Let US before We enter
upon the study of the lesson stop and
study the religious indifference that ca1.e
over the people of Judah during the reign
of Ahaz A few years after the com
mencement of his reign Pekah. King of
Israel and Rein, King of Damascus, made
an alliance to oppose the advance of AS
syria. AhaZ's refusal to join the con-
federates led to their attacking Judah.
They succeeded in conquering large ter
ritory, so that Judah lost Eden and
Elath which controlled the commerce Of
Egypt. the Sinatic peninsula and the Rec
sea. The troops of Pekah plundered the
villages of Judah. In that dark hour
King Ahaz blunders by appeal ng to As
syria for help. Tigath Bileser responded.
The results were disastrous TO judah
enemies, who were conquered. Judah was
reduced from her independence until Ahaz
was only a vassal of Assyria. This led
to the introduction of Assyrian customs
and heather worship. 1dolatry supplant-
ed the worship Of Jehovah. Snow-white
sacred horses went out to greet the sun
that became with the moon an object o.
worship. Morning and evening sacrifices
were offered on the affairs that could be
found upon the housetops and in the
streets. All the high places were devoted
to the worship of Ashtoreth. Chamosh
and Moloch- Not only In the high places,
but also In the valleys could be found
sacred places, for in the valley OF Hin
non a furnace was erected where babes
were sacrificed to Moloch. Ahaz himself
sacrificed his own son to Moloch. The
doors of the temple of Jehovah were
closed. The black robed priests of heath
en- faith supplanted the white robed
priests of Jehovah. Isaiah sought to
arouse the people against the prevailing
evils and human sacrifice by the song Of
the vineyard. Underneath the music that
revealed the need of conservation of the
vineyard was a great moral lesson that de
manded the conservation of the nation
through a regenerated society and a ref
/, ormation Of men and morals.

CATHOLIC DESCENDANTS OF ENG
LlSH WRITER'S.

Perhaps the most interesting details
in recent information with regard to
the number of Catholic converts in
England is the fact that most of the
descendants of distinguished English
literary men are now in the Catholic
Church. This is so different from what
is usually thought about the Church's
power over mems minds that it is
worth while recalling often, and there
is renewed occasion to recall it now
that announcement of the death of
Mrs. Thomas, daughter of Captain
Marryat, the popular English novelist
of the last generation, has just been
made.
Ordinarily, it is said that the Cath
lie Church has her attractions for and
her hold upon the ignorant, or at least
the less educated classes. The roll Of
the descendants of English litterateurs
who have entered the Church is a di-
rect contradiction of this All the
blood of Scott now flows in Catholic
veins. The same thing is said to be
practically true as regards the de-
scendants of Dickens and Thackeray.
Even the daughter of Charles Kings
ley is a Catholic and herself a we'll.
known writer under the name of Luc-
as Malet, her own name being Mrs st.
Leger Harrison. The near relatives of
Stevenson are all said to be Catholics.
The list might readily be extended.
Most of these converts of literary
families become very devout members
of the Church, with special affection
for the old Catholic institutions which
Professionalism so misunderstands and
used to calumniate. For instance, one
of Mrs. Thomas's daughters, the grand
daughter of Marryat, became nun in
Belgium. Mrs. Thomas lived at Bruges
and was the center of social influence
in many ways. English Catholic visi-
tors particularly were welcomed and
the household was beautiful in its SIM
pie Catholicity.
It is evident that the old Church
still has all her old-time attraction for
the most beautiful minds and that,
indeed, only in her bosom can they
find that satisfaction for soul and mind
for religious feelings and for aesthetic
devotion which represent the best quail
tiles of the highest type of men and
women.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1911-09-02

that the head is towards the altar and
the face towards the people. This is
the position he occupied when, during
life, he instructed the people and ad-
ministcred the Sacramento to them.
When there is question of lay person
the body is so placed that the feet are
towards the altar and the face turned
in that direction. This is the position
the laity occupy in life when praying
before the altar, assisting at Mass,
receiving the Sacraments, and listen
ing to instructions. s. The Confiteor
is an acknowledgment of faults COM
mitted. 1t is recited by the altar boys
who represent the faithful about to
receive Holy Communion, who thus
confess their sinfulness through the
mouth of the server who ministers
at the altar.
Are there Catholic Churches in the
following Range Towns, Gilbert,
Sparta and Mckinley?
The Rev. John Schiffrer is pastor of
the Catholic Church at Gilbert, Mimi,
and he also attends to the Catholics
at Mckinley. The Catholic Directory
makes no mention of Sparta, Mimi, as
a parish, mission, or station.

ing society at it's first annual meet
ing held at Deadwood, S. D., August
rs. State Engineer Samuel Fl. Lea,
of Pierre, president of the association,

some of the plans expected to be
carried out in the state within the
next few years. President Lea COM
menced with the beautifying of the
state capitol grounds at Pierre by a
system of underground conduits to
convey the wires for lighting and for
water sprays, and declared it is the
intention of the engineers to see that
every state institution shall have a
fine campus with all modern improve
ments. Among the features of the
visit of the engineers, who were en-
.tertained at both Deadwood and Lead

the trips through the picturesque

of the big hydro-electric power plant
that the Homestake Mining Company
