DUTY OF INSTRUCTED CATH
OLICS.

The Right Reverend Bishop
Hedley of the Diocese of Newport
in Wales, concludes an article on
"The Necessity of Religious
knowledge" in a recent num-
Der of the cave Maria" with this
timely admonition to the laity !:
F'Let our instructed Catholics
make it a duty to read Catholic
books, such as those which de-
velop doctrine and explain the
spiritual life, as we'll as history
and the Lives of the Saints. And,
indeed, there is no household
which should not have it's Catholic
books and leaflets, such as are on
sale at the lowest prices by the
Catholic Truth Society. Let no
Catholic think it beneath him to
attend in church when the Cate
chism is being taught to children
This is most fruitful means of
keeping up the knowledge of our
religion. And let the Sunday
sermons be dutifully followed, that
the "Word Of the Lord" may pro.
duce in all our hearts that light
and piety which will sanctify our
lives and prepare us for the judg.
ment to come"

AS we draw near the end Of
May there are few who do not ex-
perience a lurking suspicion that
they have not done all they might
have done to honor the Mother of
God. But there is no reason for
unavaiIing regrets. What we
should have done during May can
be performed, with great spiritual
profit, every day of the week and
every month of the year. The
Blessed Mother is as near to us al
ways as she is during May if we
only try to realize that truth in a
practical manner. Devout prayer
in her honor never goes unheeded !;
and special devotion to her will
always bring it's measure of in
creased grace and blessing.

MODEsTY IN DRESS.

For some weeks discussion has
been carried on in the columns of
the daily papers about the manner
in which working girls should
dress. 1t is not our intention to
enter the lists in behalf Of any Of
the participants; nor to criticize
the different styles Of hats and
gowns which the dictates Of
fashion impose on it's votaries.
There is one phase Of this ques-
ton, however, which is Of para
mount Importance, and yet it has
been passed over in silence. 1t is
one which, if borne in mind by
woman, carries with it the as
surance that, no matter what their
positions in life may be, they will
always be dressed in a becoming
manner. The style Of a woman s
dress should be dictated by mod
esty inspired by religion. The
woman whose dress is fashioned
with due regard for the require
ments of christian modesty will
always be dressed in a manner
suitable to her work and to her
station in life.
The innate sense of propriety
possessed by woman Of good
breeding, not to speak of the
teachings of religion, suggests that
any style of dress which outrages
the rules Of christian modesty,
even in the least degree, should be
Stunned by women who desire to
preserve the respect due to them
selves and to their sex. 1t is not
merely a question of hygiene, OF
of personal convenience, or OF
economics; it is one into which
religion enters to a far greater
extent than some are willing te
admit. Whether woman belongs
to the working class or not, the
same canons of modesty inspired
by religion should govern hel
adornment of her person, ever
though, by conforming to them
she has to sacrifice her persona
comfort. If she is not willing tt
dress in accordance with the re
quirements of modesty she should
not complain if she does not re
ceive, in the business or socia
world, that chivalrous respec
which men instinctively show tt
the true woman.
Catholic women and girls, es
pecially, should never lose sigh
of this truth so much insisted upo1
by Holy Mother Church, by set
ting at nought the claims of chris
tan modesty in dress and conduct
Whenever they fail to measure III
to the high standard which tn,
Catholic Church has set in thi
regard they not only endangel
/ their own souls but constitut,
themselves an occasion Of sin t,
lothers.

PRAISE FOR NUNS
TRIBUTE FROM CAPT. JACK cRAW
FORD, SOLDIER, SCOUT AND
POET.

Captain Jack Crawford, soldier,
scout and poet, says of the Catholic
sisterhood:
ION all Gods green and beautiful
earth there are no purer, no nobler, no
more kind-hearted and self-sacrifcing
women than those who wear the SOM
bre garb of the Catholic sisters. Dur
ing the war, had many opportunities
for observing their noble and heroic
work, not only in camp and hospital,
but in the death-swept field of battle.
Right in the fiery front of dreadful
war, where bullets Kissed in madden
ing ,glee, and shot and shell flew madly
by with demoniac shrieks, where dead
and mangled forms lay with pale.
blood-flecked faces, yet wearing the
scowl Of battle, have seen the black
robed sisters moving over the field,
their solicitious faces wet with tears
OF sympathy, administering to the
wants of the wounded and whispering
words of comfort into the ears soon
to be deafened by the cold, implacable
hand OF death.
How many veteran OF the war,
who wore the blue or the gray, can
yet recall the soothing touch OF sis
tter's hand, as he lay upon the pain
tossed couch of hospital! Can we
ever forget their sympathetic eyes,
their low, soft-spoken words OF en-
couragement and cheer when the re-
suit OF the struggle between life and
death yet hung In the balance?
my friends, am not a Catholic,
but stand ready at any and all times
to defend these noble women, even
with my life. for 7 owe that life to
them"

A SUFFICIENT REASON.

We have received during the
past few weeks a copy of the April
number of "Tidings, a monthly
magazine published in Chicago by
the Woman American Baptist
Home Mission Society, and Of the
March issue Of the Missionary
Review of the World" published
by Funk and Wagnalls Company,
New York and London. These
magazines, we are reliably in
formed, are kept on file in the
reading room Of the local Young
Women's Christian Association.

lime and again the IrlenQS OF
this organization have declared
that it is non-sectarian, despite the
provisions of it's constitution. This
was the plea on which they based
an appeal to the citizens of st.
Paul-Catholic and non-Catholic
alike-when there was question of
erecting a headquarters building.
This plea, as every one knows, is
not borne out by the constitution
of the Y. w. G.. A. But even if
there was no constitutional provi-
sion debarring Catholics from Of
fetal positions on it's executive
board the presence of such maya
zines as these on its reading table
would be sufficient indication of
it's decidedly sectarian character.
1t is very difficult to believe that
the leaders of the Y. w. G.. A. are
unaware of the anti-Catholic
animus of some Of the articles con-
tanned in these periodicals.
The issues in question regale
their readers with accounts of the
condition of religion and morality
in Catholic countries Cuba, Porto
Rico and South American which
are so devoid of foundation in fact
and so Enthusiastically the product
of pens stepped in anti-Catholic
prejudice and misrepresentation
that they should be excluded from
the reading room of any institu-
ton calling itself "Christian. -
They rehash the old calumnies
about the illiteracy, superstition
and immortality of these lands
which have been refuted times
without number. The assertions
are so sweeping in their denun-
citation Of the Catholic Church
and Of her institutions that no
person of ordinary intelligence
will accept them unless he is as
prejudiced as the contributors.
How writer's with any respect for
the eighth commandment could
pen them is beyond comprehen-
sion; and it is equally hard to
understand how christian people
of any denomination can patronize
an institution which gives pub
licity to such erroneous views, and
such un-called-for attacks on the
Catholic Church.
Were there no other reasons
why Catholics should not ally
themselves with the Y. W. G. A.,
the presence of such literature
prominently displayed for the sup.
posed benefit of it's patrons should
suffice to convince them of it's sec,
tartan character and insure their
speedy withdrawal from all con,
nection with it.

Many people who are negligent
in the performance Of their re-
ligious duties try to soothe their
consciences with the thought of
the infinite mercy Of God which,
they assert, will not permit Him
to punish transgressions of His law
as they deserve. They fail to take
into account His equally infinite
justice which will not be over
Swallowed even by His mercy when
there is question Of apportioning
reward or punishment for duty
done or opportunity neglected. 1t
is we'll to be always mindful of the
fact that God is as just as He is
merciful.

Story Of the Cross in TabIeaux.
After this dazzling array of lowell
ness-for the men and maidens of Bel
GUM are singularly blessed with good
looks, and the costumes are of the
finest in every detail-comes the pro-
cession proper, that is to say, the
spectacular story of the Cross ar
ranged in tableaux One or two of the
groups, as for instance the Manager
and Bethlehem, and Calvary are rep
resented by statues carried on great
cars drawn by strong white Flemish
horses or oxen, but in such scenes
as the coming of the Wise Men, the
entry into Jerusalem, and the carry
ing of the Cross all are living human
beings. This year the three eastern
Kings with their gorgeous retinue
were followed by real dromedary,
bearing the Golfers of treasure upon
his back. One of the sweetest and
most pathetic of the tableaux which
passed was Christ amongst the Doc
tors, for a lovely fair-haired boy Of
tender years was seen walking In the
center of the tall bearded men in east
ern draperies who took the part OF
the Doctors of the Temple. Il was
an exquisite innocent little face, and
a lovely head summing over with fair
curls The palms carried by the
crowd which accompanied the entry
into Jerusalem were SO large and num-
erous as almost to obscure the be-
holders view and they certainly gave
sumptuous appearance to the scene.
No less impressive was the last group.

MURDER Is MURDER.

Under this caption Mr.. Roose-
welt, writing in the Outlook for
May 6, discusses the action of the
labor unions Of the United States
in protesting against the arrest of
certain members of one Of their
affiliated organizations for the
alleged dynamiting Of the Los An
geles Times building some

no idea whether the men arrested
on Mr.. Burn s statements are or
are not guilty the labor leaders in
| question have no idea whether
or not they are. They are en-
Titled to an absolutely fair trial.
If they have no money to provide
counsel for themselves, then it
would be entirely proper for any
body OF men to furnish them the
requisite funds, simply as an in
cident in securing them a fair
trial. But it is grossly improper
to try to create public opinion
in favor of the arrested men sim
lply because the crime Of which
they are accused is one committed
against a capitalist or corpora
ton, and because the men
charged with committing it are
members Of labor union. This
is an iniquity as gross as it would
have been if when, three years
ago, the Sugar Trust was indicted
for swindling operations in the
New York Custom House, the
forces of organized capital had
been put behind the indicted men
on the ground that the attack on
capitalists guilty Of crime meant
an attack on all capital.
The position taken by Mr.. Roose-
welt in this article is the only
logical one and will undoubtedly
commend itself to every right
thinking man. The labor unions
| have no right to assume the inno-
cence or guilt Of the alleged dyna-
miters. The fact that they are
identified with one branch of or
gained labor gives the labor unions
no. right to take the stand they
have taken. The question Of the
innocence or guilt of the suspected
persons is one which comes solely
within the province Of a court of
law to determine, and the la
Dor, unions should not undertake,
as they have done, to prejudice
the public either for or against
the prisoners. There is no reason
to think that the latter will not
receive a fair trial and their con-
! demnation or acquittal will follow
as a logical consequence from the
testimony brought out during the
! trial.
The labor unions are within
their right when they make an
effort to see that the prisoners
receive the full benefit Of the best
legal talent which can be procured
for their defence; but beyond this
they should not go. AS Mr.. Roose-
welt says: the question Of organ
lied labor or organized capital or
Of the relations of either with the
community at large has nothing
whatever to do with this issue.
All that we are now concerned
with is the grave and vital ques-
tion Of fact whether or not the &C
cused men have been guilty of
murder and of murder under cir
cumstances of peculiar foulness
and atrocity.'
1 The public at large, apart from
the leaders of organized labor, are
content to suspend judgment and
to await patiently the outcome of
the trial which will determine the
guilt or innocence Of the alleged
murderers. If they are guilty, the
court will mete out to them the
proper retribution; if innocent,
they will be so adjudged.

bearing the Cross surrounded by the
rough Roman soldiery. After these
came the priests of the city, the Mon
signori, and Canons of the Cathedral
and last OF all the Bishop of Bruges,
bearing the Sacred Relic beneath a
magnificent canopy supported by six
priests, and surrounded by silver Ian

Renediction OF the Precious Blood.
When the great procession SO mar.

so impressive in the piety manifested
by those who took part in it and by
those who viewed it had at length
traversed the city, it returned as the
evening shadows were falling, and the
golden light of departing day was
radiating the red and brown roofs Of
the city and touching the wonderful
carvings and ancient gildings on the
old palaces, to the Place de Bourg.
Here a temporary altar had been
erected without the chapel. Slowly
and with perfect order one detachment
after another filed in and took it's
allotted place, until the Square pre-
scented a forest of beautiful banners
of every hue rising like tall flags or
hollyhocks in a garden of smaller BIOS

temporary platforms and the contra
ternities grouped themselves about
them, until at length the whole space
was filed and through the kneeling
ranks came the clergy and the pre-
lates till at last the Bishop reached
the crimson-draped platform from
whence the Benediction was to be
given. A wonderful hush fell upon
that great assemblage. Right out over
the peoples heads, into the Grand
Place one could still see kneeling
crowds of devout men and women over
whom the old grey Be froi cast it's
friendly shadow. And then above the
people came the voice of the Bishop
floating out in the sonorous Latin of
the Church, ere he raised the Holy
Blood which was shed twenty GEN.

Banquet for Pilgrims.

Afterwards the Catholic portion of
the city, that is to say, the inhabitants
and larger portion of the visitors,
made merry at the various hotels, the
bells gave such concert as only the
carlton of Bruges can give, in the
mystic moonlight, which silvered the
shadOwy facade of the haunted BLACK
House," and played tricks with the
leaves in the garden of Rubens old
inn, and the pilgrims were entertained
at banquet by the Noble Confratern-
ity, at which all the visiting Bishops
were present and the organizer of the
reception committee, the Rev. Count
Van den Steen de Jehaye, made a
most interesting speech, giving the
history of the possession of the relic
which had united them, and how
Bruges had guarded it through the
years, as we may see it told in manu-
scripts and in paintings on the walls
of the Hotel de Vile and the Palace of
the Count of Flanders.
We return with a sense of satisfac-
ton to our quiet quarters by the soft
ly tapping waters of the canal which
runs under the tiny Tower Bridge,
past little shrines of Our Lady which
adorn every street corner before
which twinkle tiny lights. We have
seen one of those rare and beautiful
sights which I think are confined par
ticularly in these days to the pagean-
try of the Church, and we have as
sisted at one of the greatest of the
still remaining Christian pilgrimages.
