BIG CATHOLIC COLONY BEING
ESTABLISHED
At Onamia, MINI.

The Catholic Colony being estab-
lished at Onamia, Mile Laos County,
Mimi, by Bishop James McGolrick of
Duluth, is now the scene Of much ac-
tiyity.
The prospects now that spring is at
hand presages great progress this year.
A number of colonists have already
moved there, houses are being built
and ground prepared for this years
crop. The essentials of substantial
and constant growth have been liber-
ally supplied by nature and the set
tiers speak in high praise Of the land,
the soil, the climate and surroundings
To make easy the problem Of hauling
supplies and products there are twenty
miles of wagon roads being built I'M

State Highway Commission, an encour-
aging factor which emphasizes the fact
that everything in the line of improve

POPULAR CATHOLIC LITERATURE
"PhiIothea", or Introduction to a De-
vout Life by st. Francis de Sales.

"A good book" wrote Milton, els the
precious life-blood of master-spirit,
embalmed and treasured up on purpose
to life beyond life" These words are
singularly applicable to the little book
called "Philothea or, Introduction to
a Devout Life, by st. Francis de
Sales. The gentle saint, one of the
sweetest and most lovable in the calen-
dar, seems to speak to you with the
winsome grace, the charming courtesy,
the genial, sparkling pleasantly so
characteristic of him. His sympathy
and earnestness and desire to help you
make you feel yourself in the company
of personal friend; and although you
smile at the quaintness of some of his
illustrations-he is very rich in them
in most he delights you with his close,
congenial observation of nature. Many
of them, indeed, have the freshness of
Alpine air in them; for he lived and
labored in the vicinity of Geneva.
The saint tells us that the origin of
the book was a series of letters he
wrote for the spiritual guidance of a
pious and virtuous soul, who desired
his particular assistance for this pur-
pose. Hence, it contains nothing specu-
lative, abstract or impersonal, and may
be read with as much profit by a child
as by an adult, by the uncultured as
by the cultured, by the poor as by the
rich. 1t is book for all time; because
the truths it explains and applies are
eternal. Heaven and earth shall pass
away; but My Jesus Christ's) word
shall not pass away"
After telling what true devotion is
and it's compatibility with every sta
ton of life, "Philothea" teaches that
the beginning of all true devotion is
purgation of the soul from sin, from all
affection toward it, and from unprofit-
able amusements that might be an &C.
casion of it. 1t treats, next, of prayer,
the virtues we ought to acquire, and
the chief temptations we must guard
against. Finally, it recommends the
yearly renewal of our good resolutions
and shows how it is to be made
The book may be purchased for fifty
cents at any Catholic bookstore, and
we earnestly recommend it to our
readers.

the evil of his ways and purposes
amendment.
The fact that one has forgotten 8
sin after doing ones best to recall all
sins to memory, does not make the
confession unworthy. 1t is only wilful
concealment of sin, or slip-shod exami
nation of conscience, or absence Of sor
row or of determination to avoid sin
for the future, that can render con.
fession null and void.
Is there any harm In attending a
travelling show when one has gone to
Confession and intends to receive Holy
Communion in the morning?
It is not becoming preparation for
the reception of Holy Communion. 1t
shows lack of reverence for the
Blessed Sacrament, and may be the
cause of scandal to those who are
aware of the facts. We take it for
granted that it is not an occasion OF
sin to the individual in question.

Secular News Of the Week.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has decided unanimously against
the railroads in the important in
creased rate cases that have been
pending for several months. The de-
cision is sweeping beyond anticipa-
ton, even of the shippers. 1t declines
to allow single increase by the six
hundred or more railroads in the East
and the Middle West. 1t throws aside
as unsubstantiated the contention of
the railroads that they must have in
creased revenues to meet the increased
cost of equipment and operation, ana
cuts off between $50, 900 to $50 ,0O0,-
900 year in revenue which the rail-
roads had expected to realize from the
proposed increases. On the other hand
it means a saving of that amount to
the shippers of the country.
The gross earnings tax for 1910
amounted to ,4S265, which
amount was paid into the State treas.
ury within the required time, by the
railroad companies operating in the
state of Minnesota. The gross earn
ings of railroads in the state for the
year ending December 81. 1910, was
$97, 362,066.75. The increase for the
year 1910 over that of 1909 was So
347,843, in gross earnings, which yield.
ed the state an increase of $3.50, OOU
from the gross earnings tax. Prac.

What must one do in order to make
a good confession? If one forgets a
sin is the confession bad?
The catechism says that, in order to
make good confession one is required
"a to make careful examination of
conscience; (2) to confess all the sins
of which one is conscious; (3) to have
sincere contrition for having commit
ted them; and (4) to make firm reso-
luton not to commit them again. II
one has made bad confessions, it is
necessary to confess the number of
times one was guilty Of sacrilege. God
