CHURCH AND SUICIDE
Statistics Prove That Catholic Faith
Restraints Suicidal Tendency.

1t has often been asserted that the
Catholic faith exercises a powerful re-
straint upon suicidal crime, says the
London "Catholic Weekly" This as
sertion is we'll borne out by statistics
published in the Protestant review,
Der Alter Claude" and in lie Sui
eide" of NJ Durkhelm, Sorbonne pro-
fessor. The German periodical gives
the following figures, reckoning the
suicides per annum and per million
inhabitants; SaXony Ga Protestant
State), $50; France, 225; Austria, 163;
Italy, 5S; Spain, is. M. Durkhelm, in
presenting his figures makes the fol
lowing significant comment: "a
glance at the record of suicides in
Europe reveals at once that the pro
portion of suicides is very small in
purely Catholic countries, such as
Spain, Portugal and Italy, while it
reaches it's maximum in Protestant
countries, such as Prussia SaXony and
Denmark
Taking the average annual number
of suicides in every million inhabi
tnnts. Durkhclm gives his estimate
as follows: Catholic States, So: States
of mixed religions, Sc; Protestant
States, 1870. In Switzerland-in Cath
olic Cantons; French Cantons, 1l9;
German. 1877. In Protestant vnntons

a Catholic State, 80. Protestant
States: Prussia, 1888; Baden, 1856;
Wurtemberg, 1852; Saxony. 800. Ii
Italy, since the usurpation of the
House Of Savoy, in 1870, the grand to
tai of suicides had risen from 1886 tt
2,6SO by the year 1908. In France
since Catholic influences have beer
increasingly combated under anti-cler
! ical Governments, the grand total o

in 1908.

Pliers are so dumb about it, that even
when outcast no woman of Spanish
blood falls or can fall to the outer vile
ness which haunts the purlieus OF ev-
cry English-speaking city. And thanks
to her religion, and to her social con-
servatism, she contributes fewer re-
cruits to the outcast ranks than any
civilized woman in the world"
That this tributa is not paid by
Catholic, but by all American and a
Prnestant, renders it doubly valuable;
but from my own personal knowledge
ana observation can indo-se it thor
oughly: and if Mr., gHaynes should sug-

In cases where comparisons can be
made with the certainty that the fig

am confident, have nothing to fear. At

FORMING CHARACTER
The Value Of Disinterested, Honest
and Fearless Service.

At dinner given by the alumni as
sociation of st. Peters College in
honor of Judge Sullivan, Woodrow
Wilson said:
There is, gentlemen, a fine school,
in which some men are bred. When
a man has the example, for instance,
of a self-sacrificing and noble mother
who devotes all her days with abso-
lutte unselfishness to the interests and
education of numerous family, and
knows that every pulse OF her heart
beats for an unselfish purpose, it is
no mean school to prepare for life.
"When man knows that he comes
of a stock which has not been stained
by any kind of dishonor; when man
is schooled by teachers who hold up
to him the example of Christ and the
history of the self-sacrifces of the
Church, these are no mean prepara-
ton for public life.
"I sometimes marvel that men
should ever miss the point Of such a
career as that of Mark Sullivan, and
yet many men do, singularly, miss it.
Why should a man like Mr.. Sullivan
come so quickly and singularly to the
recognition of public opinion through
out a great state as a man truly de-
voted to the public interest? Simply
because he has proved that his serv-
ice is disinterestcd, that it is fearless
and that it is honest.
Judge Sullivan has great abilities,
but other men Of great abilities have
missed the honor which he has re-
ceived in the minds of his fellow
countrymen. Judge Sullivan has de-
voted himself with singular industry
to the profession which he adorns
but other men have used the same in
dustry and have not been honored as
he is honored even by his fellow prac
| titioners at the bar. Do men not sec
| that selfish service never brings hon
or? Do men not see that when they
make a mistake in serving themselves
instead of serving their country, they
have put a stain upon themselves
which nothing afterwards can remove
or redeem?

FINEST ORATOR

n correspondent in the Onlookcr.
London. lie possesses to the full all
the poetic cloquence Of his race. In
his soft, rich brogue, which, if not so
pronounced as some of his followers,
is, at least more pleasant to the ear,
I have heard Mr.. Redmond deliver
more than one speech that is quite
worthy to rank with anything that
the House has ever listened to. AS
he warns to his subject he assumes
a dignity of bearing and a restraint
of language that becomes him well,
and even the most casual observer
realizes that he fully believes in ev-
cry word he is uttcring; that he is
exerting himself TO the utmost to con-
vince his auditors Of the Justice OF
the cause to which he pleads 1t may
be said that. Mr.. Redmond never re-
sumes his seat without having done
something to advance the well-being
of his beloved country. 70 hear him
emphasizing the disadvantages under
which Ireland labors, to paint her
woes, and to picture her wrongs,
would move the most inveterate Un-
ionist who ever waved a handker,
chief at n Primrose League demon
stration. In all parts OF the House
Mr.. Redmond is popular, even with
his hereditary foes-the Irish Union
list member And speaking Of this

late Colonel Sandcrson only a short
time before his death: "lf there
were many more Irishmen possessed
of the eloquence and ability Of Johr
