the light of an optimistic hope in the ultimate
outcome of life that has long encouraged and

We do not believe 1t. We repudiate the
sentiment unworthy of utterance in the pre-

What the views Of Cardinal Gibbons are con
cerning political questions of the day is not
Of great interest to us Not more so than the
opinion of any other prominent man; but that
he should have given expression to them In Il

worthy of comment inasmueh it raises a
question of propriety
II has long been accepted without argu-
iaent by many people perhaps large mat
jority. that politics have place in the pulpit.
Indeed the prevailing view is that the church
and politics should be forever divorced. The
minister who introduces political questions in
his pulpit is vigorously condemned by Ger
tain element. aud any activity along political
lines by religious organizations is greatly re
scented
But is this position tenabe when face
the matter in calm sane and patriotic spirit?
Is there really any why ministers. with

and suggestion to their congregations upon
such matters, and why churches should be de-
