cred in special cases, for good and
sufficient reasons, indicated or sug
gested in Catholic theology, to COM
mute the precepts of fasting and abb
stinence to other penitential works.
In enjoining upon the faithful the
precepts of fast and abstinence, Holy
Church is mindful of the evangelical
law of self-denial, of which the Savior
and His Apostles were, by example and
by word, most eminent teachers
Without self-denial there is no Chris
tianity. Indeed, without self-denial
there is no natural morality. The man
who has not acquired by habit the pow
er of self-restraint will not be victori-
GUS over sin amid the storms and
temptations of life which all are COM
PEELED to encounter
The observance of the fasts and alb
stinences prescribed by the Church is
taken as public and fearless profess
sion of Catholic faith. He who, with
out sufficient or obvious reasons, eats
meat or takes his usual meals when
abstinence or fast is enjoined, be-
comes an occasion of scandal, and is
not accepted as practical Catholic.
Let Catholics, therefore, have the
courage of self-denial for the sake of
Christ and of their own souls, and be
on their guard lest by their acts scan
dial be given, and the fair name of their
religion be dishonored.
During Lent pastors will hold spe-
cial exercises of devotion in their sew
eral churches at appointed times. In
structions of practical character up
on the Christian duties, the nature Of
the sacraments, and the preparation
for their reception, should be given on
those occasions
The devotion of the Way of the
Cross will be observed, if at all pos
sible, in all churches and chapels on
the Friday evenings throughout Lent.

Whatever collection is taken UP in
churches on Good Friday is, as usual,

Their, to be applied in aid of the mis-
sions of Palestine.

SYMPATHY FOR THE GRE,
TANS. II

The New York Herald has made
it's columns the medium for an
appeal to all Christians, and espe-
cially to those Of America, on be-
half Of their brethren in the Is
land Of Crete. This island is I'M
der the domination Of Turkey
and, it is said, persecution on ac-
count Of religion is not uncom-
mon. Those who sympathize with
the Cretans fear the influence of
Moslem rule; and they desire to
see the island annexed to Greece.
AS a means to this end, they sug-
gest that the European powers
intervene and secure from Turkey
a guarantee Of religious freedom
for the Christians Of Crete.
Everyone sympathizes with ef-
forts made to better the condition
Of those who suffer on account
Of their religion. But, in view of
what has already been said re
garding the condition Of Catholics
in Russia, we see no reason why
Christian sympathy should not be
extended to the prosecuted Cath
olics Of Russia. AS matter of
fact, the Turk is far more tolerant
from the religious standpoint
than the Russian. We know how
the Catholic subjects of the Gar
are treated under the guise Of re-
ligious liberation. Why do not
those who are clamoring so loudly
for religious freedom for their
brethren in Crete include the
Catholics Of Russia? Why not try
to interest the European powers
| in their behalf? Does the fact
that they acknowledge allegiance
to the Church of Rome place then
beyond the pale of the sympathy
and help of those who are SO in
terested in the Cretans? These
are pertinent questions. We pause
for an answer.

DRINKING ON THE INCREASE.
Statistics Show That the Habit Is
Gaining in America.

simultaneously with the announce
ment that our total population in the
home land and it's colonies has passed
the 10O,0OO,000 mark, comes another
official announcement, says the Chris
tian Herald, which causes thrill of a
different character According to the
figures of the Internal Revenue Bureau
the fiscal year lately ended has been
marked by the largest consumption of
liquors ever known in this country.
OF distilled spirits 100000 gallons
have been consumed, being 30,OO0,000
gallons more than last year. During
the same time 59,485,117 barrels of
fermented liquor have been consumed,
being an increase of 100000 barrels.
For many years we have been gather
ing to ourselves vast foreign popula-
ton. For the last half decade our an
nual immigration has averaged three
quarters of million at the port of
New York alone This big army of
newcomers has brought with it the
drinking customs Of the Old World,
and it will not be until the second gen.
GRAFTON that they can be hopefully con-
verted to the modern scientific tenn
perance view. Another cause of the in
crease is that our government still al
lows liquor to be carried into and
through 'dry'' states, regardless of the
will of the people, thus spreading the
evil of intemperance.

NOT METHOD, BUT DOCTRINE

Methodism is beginning to see
the light, family, it is true, but
none the less surely, if we are to
judge from the fugitive utter
ances of some Of it's leaders which,
like straws, show how the wind
blows.
At a convention of Methodist
Episcopal Sunday Schools held
last week at Spokane, Rev. DIR,
E. Blake of Chicago declared
Every member gained by the
Methodist Episcopal Church in
1910 represents an expenditure
of $1,000 and a property invest.
ment Of $1,000" At that rate,
it costs money to add to the Meth,
odist fold; and this, no doubt
accounts for the small net in
crease of little more than one
per cent which took place last
year. DR.. Blake attributes this
small increase to "the old meth
DDS of evangelism whose weak.
ness lies in this that it makes it's
main appeal to adults, when il
is matter of fact that IS per
cent Of all conversions are under
Is years of age. :"
It may. be questioned whether
or not this is the true explanation
We suspect that the difficulty lies
much deeper, that it is to be
sought not so much in the method
of presenting religious truth as in
the content of that truth, in the
doctrine Of the church itself
Methodism has cut away from the
mornings; and its followers are
beginning to realize that the husks
of old-time doctrines do not sat
isfy the spiritual needs Of man
With solid foundation Of dogma
ON which to build, any church
which makes the efforts credited
to Methodism together with its
outlay in energy and money
ought to secure a strong hold or
a large body Of believers. What
is needed in this case is reversior
to primitive doctrine, not revision
of modern methods.

There are 14,618,761 Catholics in the

"a gain of 271,734 over the totals pre-

If the number of Catholics in the
Philippines, Porto Rico and the Ha-

of Catholics under the stars and
stripes would be 22,886,027.
The figures given in the Directory
are in no way exaggerated and although

The Wiltzius Company uses only
the figures received from the Chan
Gerry Offices pf the various Dioceses,
and, according to the American Ec-
clesiastical Review, the Directory is
accurate as far as it can be made so
and shows evidence of an unusual ex-
penditure of care and labor.
A glance through the 1911 Directory
shows that there are II,O84 Catholic
priests in continental United States,
1850 being secular Clergy and 4,434
being members OF the various Reli-
gious Orders. Comparing the number
of Clergy with last years report it will
be seen that there was gain of 534

several Auxiliary Bishops appointed
According to the Wiltzius publica-
ton there are in this country 9,017
churches with resident priests and
l4,441 mission churches, that is,
churches which are supplied from
neighboring parishes. The grand total
of churches is 13,461. This shows q

is shown in the number of school chill

| ing 1,237.251. In addition to the 1872
parochial schools there are 225 col
lleges for boys and SOS academies for
girls, proving that institutions for
higher learning are not wanting
among Catholics or this country.
There are, furthermore, So ecclesias-
tical seminaries with 6,969 aspirants

Their animus towards Catholics
is seen in the treatment accorded
them as compared with that shown
to the sects. The latter are allow
ed to flourish with little or no op
position. In fact, they are encour-
aged to do so. When new sect is
formed by seceeders from ortho-
doxy it experiences no difficulty
in securing official recognition by
the government; but when there is
question of converts to the Catho-
lie Church red tape is invoked to
hamper them in their efforts to
comply with the law.
How account for this difference
in treatment? When an orthodox
Russian forms a new sect or joins
one already existing the govern
ment regards him as fanatic
whose fanaticism is only increased
by persecution, until in the end, he
becomes an enemy Of the state.
Consequently, they leave him
alone. The more the sects multi
ply, the more they weaken them
selves, while they rid the Orthodox
Church of dangerous element,
the product, from a political point
of view, of a revolutionary cam
paign carried on along the lines of
rationalism and positivism. They
occupy themselves more with this
than they do with the Douma.
When converts to Catholicism
join the Church, they become
members of a worldwide organi-
cation which rivals the Orthodox
Church; and that fact alone is
enough to subject them to persecu-
ton as enemies of the country.
Nor can it be said that this is
the attitude Of few bigoted adj
herents of orthodoxy and not Of
the Government itself. Within a
few weeks the Government has
shown where it stands in this re-
gard. 1t issued an order forbid
ding the transmission to the Her
archy Of the Catholic Church in
Russia of any Papal document
which does not first pass through
the hands Of it's officials "a fragrant
violation Of the decree of tolera-
ton, and an attempt to cut off all
communication between the Pope
of Rome and his followers in
Russia. One marvels that coun-
try. like Russia would resort to
such petty annoyances to hamper
the spread of Catholicity among
it's people. It is difficult to escape
the conclusion that the Russian
Government fears the growing in
fuence Of the Church of Rome
within the territory under its
sway.
