PATRON SAINT OF CATHOLIC
JOURNALISTS.

The religious festivities in honor
Of St. Francis de Sales held at
Annecy in France, recall to mind
the fact that more than thirty
years ago the then reigning pom
tiff, Plus TX, named him the
Patron Saint Of the Catholic press.
At the request of the Catholic
journalists of Europe, the Right
Reverend Emiliano Manacorda,
Bishop Of Fossano, petitioned the
Holy Father to appoint this great
Saint their patron and model.
The petition, dated November
10, 1877, was as follows:
Most Holy Father, the Catho-
lie journalists, mindful Of and
thankful for the paternal munifi-
cence with which your Holiness
has, even from the beginning of
your Pontificate, deigned to pat
ronize and protect the Catholic
Press, which has for it's object the
refutation of the errors Of our
times and the defence Of the sa-
cred rights Of the Church; desir-
GUS Of never departing from the
wise regulations which your Holi-
ness has deigned on various occa-
sions to give to us; and animated
by filial confidence, dare to pros
trate themselves before the foot
of your throne with the ardent de
sire-a desire shared with the
whole Of Catholic journalism in
Europe asking you for the
apostolic approval and confrma-
ton of their work. The dangers
and the multiple difficulties to be
met with by Journalists in rightly
fulfilling the duties imposed upon
them under present circumstances
are well known. They feel the
need Of special help from Heaven
and therefore ask the aid OF a
protector who by his wisdom and
his virtues may be to them as a
model full Of inspiration, and who
by the power Of his protection
may bring about that increase OF
| grace which is necessary to them

Such would be the new Doctor,
St. Francis Of Sales, who, with
sublime wisdom and charity, COM
bated the errors Of his time, de-
stroyed vice and saved souls, and
who joined Christian prudence to
the most energetic frmness. In
one Of my writings the reasons
which induced journalists to Sc
lect the enterprising and holy
Bishop Of Geneva for their pro-
tector are explained more in de-
tail; a manifest analogy is also
made between the tactics which
ST. Francis Of Sales made use Of
and those which even in our days
would be considered opportune in
Catholic journalism. Besides,
with such a choice, writer's them
selves know how to give to their
discussions that wisdom which
comes from God, in union with
the Church, it's Supreme Head and
the Episcopacy. For these rea-
sons they earnestly and humbly
ask your Holiness to be pleased to
give full effect to this desire of
theirs by granting them your
Apostolic approval and eonfrma-
ton
By Brief, dated November 16,
1877, His Holiness declared St.
Francis de Sales a Doctor Of the
Church and, by a subsequent Re
script, declared him patron of
Catholic journalism. In this Re-
script Pope Plus TX outlined the
duties Of Catholic editors in their
labors for the spread Of religious
truth and for the rights Of the
Church as well as those Of the
Holy See, to whose teaching and
commands they should adhere in
all loyalty and faithfulness.
The interest taken by the pres
ent Pontiff, Plus x, in the work
Of the Catholic press moved him
to ratify the action of his prede-
cessor and commend St. Francis
de Sales to Catholic journalists as
model of prudence and wisdom
in all things that appertain to the
welfare Of the Church. He was q
fearless exponent Of the Church s
teachings and by voice and per
defended the sacred deposit Of
faith against the enemies Of re
ligion.

1t seems to be the custom now
a-days to prelude the investigation
of civic evils with an announce
ment of the date on which the
investigation is to take place.
This, we presume, is for the pur-
pose Of giving those concerned an
opportunity to prepare for the
visit Of the investigators. During
the week it was announced in the
public press that a special commit
tee from one Of the non-Catholic
churches would visit the moving
picture shows on a certain evening
i'll order that information might
be obtained as to the nature of
the entertainment furnished in
those places. The visit was made
according to schedule. We await
with interest the report Of the
committee. If it does not show
that there is nothing wrong with
these places of amusement it will
be because their proprietors do not
read the public announcements
which are, no doubt, intended to
put them on their guard.

Last week the Catholic Tele-
graph of Cincinnati issued spe-
cial number to commemorate the
completion Of the eightieth year Of
its existence, as we'll as the fifth
National Eucharistic Congress held
in its home city during the last
week of September. Miss A. c..
Minogue, the associate editor, con-
tributes an interesting historical
sketch of the vicissitudes through
which the Catholic Telegraph has
passed during the four score years
of its continuous publication. 1t
is the pioneer of Catholic news
papers in the United States; and
at present is under the editorial
management Of DR.. Thomas P.
Hart. The edition reflects great
credit on the management and en-
terprise of the paper and is a fit
ting souvenir of it's long and useful
service In the field of Catholic
Journalism. We wish our veneer
able contemporary many more
years Of fruitful labor in the cause
of Catholic truth which it has adj
vocated and defended so valiantly
during all the years Of its exist
ence.

If we are commonplace and indif-
ferent, we will find other people so.
Mind finds it's level, just as water
does. A really original and sympa-
thetic person will find others interest
ing and agreeable. A loving Christian
spirit will find others worth loving.
To complain of those we meet is real
ly to proclaim ourselves dull.
Nothing SO much avails us in keep
ing our good resolutions as a daily
examination of conscience.
A few moments devoted to this duty
are precious moments You will find
the study OF self very strange, and
indeed a curious one. As the study
progresses you will soon come to de-
termine what is necessary to your
spiritual growth, and wherein you are
Inadequate. The careful examination
will be OF value to this testimony.

At a meeting of the district
deputies of the Knights of Column
bus Of Wisconsin held in MilWau-
kee last week it was decided, with
the approval Of the Archbishop, to
hold laymen's retreats in Wiscon-
sin next summer. 1t will be the
first time that the retreats have
been undertaken under the aus
pieces Of the knights of Columbus
in Wisconsin, although retreats
have heretofore been held in
Prairie du Chen. The Knights
have done much toward populariz-
ing retreats in various cities of the
east.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE VERSUS.
MODERATE DRINKING.

Total abstinence is absolutely safe.
Total abstinence can never make a
drunkard
The total abstinence example is al
ways safe for the very weakest to fol-
low.
Abstainers can always appeal to the
drunkard with the strongest of claims
DO as do"
Total abstainers can never transmit
to their children a tendency to drink
ing.
Total abstinence is safe always, at
all times, in all seasons, in all eli
mates, in all countries, in all condi-
tons and under all circumstances.
No moderate drinker can be at all
sure that he will not at some time
drink too much.
Moderate drinkers set an example,
especially to the young, which, if they
attempt to follow, may lead to their
ruin.
Moderate drinkers have little or no
influence in saving the drunkard or
combating the evils of drinking.
Moderate drinkers may transmit to
their children a tendency to drinking
"a tendency which, backed up by the
example of father or mother, may
prove irresistible to the child
Moderate drinking refuses to &C.
knowledge the Divine precept: eve
that are strong should bear the infirm-
tiles of the weak"

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
CARDINAL MANNING AND THE
PLEDGE.

Cardinal Manning was not total
abstainer when he first began tenn
perance work. It was non-Catholics
who led him to become total abb
stainer. He says he had to thank the
United Kingdom Alliance for drawing
his attention to the greatness and ex-
tent of the evils Of drink. He was
sixty years of age, and thought, like
a good many other good men think,
that he knew the condition Of the peo-
pie. Members of the United King
dom Alliance requested an interview.
1t was granted. They came to his
house and laid before him such an ar
ray OF facts as gave him, he says, for
the first time knowledge of the real
condition of the people, and the real
demoralizing power of the great drink
traffic.
He saw and acknowledged the i'm
portance of the movement which the
Alliance represented, and the help he
could give his own people by uniting
with it, but he did not, then, see his
way clear to join them His doctor
insisted on his taking a little wine,
as ne was not strong, and he did not
feel justified in advocating total alb
stlnence upon his poor people public
ly, while he was not a total abstainer
himself. He told the Alliance that it
was promoting measure which he
could support, and that the LIQUOR
traffic was an abominable evil.
Five years later, he requested the
Alliance representatives to pay him
another visit, as he had something
pleasant to tell them. 1t was that he
had signed the pledge. He informed
them that he had found it necessary
to take step in advance; that he had
been asked to speak on temperance by
some of his friends who were en-
ployed in factory, and that he could
not go and tell them to do anything
but give up drink. It was the only
thing that would do them any good:
but that he could not tell them to do
so, if he had not first done so himself,
and so he had signed the pledge.
The pledge he took and the work
he engaged in he persevered in to the
end of his days, and he declared that
nothing in his public life had given
him greater satisfaction. He was not
merely willing, but eager to help all
engaged in temperance work He was
called fanatical, and reports of his
doings were said to have been car
ried to Rome, and an explanation of
his conduct in the matter required.
When he submitted it: ''In the Lord 5
name go on" is reported as the Pope's
reply. He did go on. From the day
he put his hand to the work, he never
desisted nor faltered. Even his holi-
days, wherever they were taken, were
j. spent in combating drink. Like
Father Mathews, his is an example
worthy to follow.

HOLY NAME CONGRESS.

Next. week the first National
Holy Name Congress will take
place in Baltimore and no doubt it
will be largely attended because
of the fact that it convenes during
the week devoted to the celebra-
ton of the dual jubilee of His
Eminence Cardinal Gibbons. His
Excellency, the Apostolic Delegate,
will attend the Congress and, as
the representative Of the Holy See,

SATURDAY, OCT. IA, 1911.

During the month Of October no

without having offered up rosary
of Hail Marys in honor of the
Queen of Heaven. And if this can
be done during the month of Octo-
Der, why not throughout the year?
