ing OF the Catholic school.
THE CHURCH in THE U. $.

A table of statistics of thirty-one of
the leading denominations in the Uni
ted States compiled by H. K. Carroll,
D. d., and published in the Christian
Advocate, a non-Catholic publication,
shows that the Roman Catholic pop
ulation has doubled in the last twenty
years, and today the Catholics in the
United States outnumber the mem
bers of the Christian denomination,
ranking second in strength by four
to one.
According to Mr. Carroll's figures
the number of communicates of the
Catholic church in the United States
in 1890 was 6,231,417; the number in
1910 he places at 12,304,173. The
Methodist Episcopal church. ranking
second, had in 1890, according to the
same authority, 2,240,354 communi-
cants; the number for the past year
was 3,lS6,S62. The Regular Baptist
church (South) ranks third, while the
Regular Baptist church (Colored) is
placed fourth. Next In order come
the Methodist Episcopal (South), the
Disciples of Christ and the Presbyter-
ians (Northern). The gain of the Ro-
man Catholic bodies for the year was
10000; for the Methodists, 1o8,776.
These figures do not afford any
cause for serious alarm. The good work
is going forward in quiet, unobtru-
sive way. The steady and answering
course of the Catholic Church contin-
ues to confound her enemies and to
attract thousands to the true fold each
year. The attacks that are made on
her doctrines, instead of turning peo-
pie away, attract them to her. The DO
sition of the Church regarding mod,
ernism, divorce, Socialism and educa-
ton is year by year growing in pop
ular favor. 1t is hard for the enemies
Of the true Church to concede the
reasonableness of her position and the
fallacy of their own: but the time is
coming when the issues must be met,
and self pride will have to be sacri-
feed in the interests of humanity.
These successes do not mean, how
ever, that workers in the interest of
the true faith can now recline on their
oars. 1t is a.. work which must be
carried on with the same vigor and
intense devotion year after year.

Parliament.

The new Parliament was opened on
Monday last, and promises to be a
notable one, says the Dundalk Demo-
crat. The ''Kings Speech" was short.
Only one measure is mentioned, apart
from financial proposals. These latter
include the complete removal of the
poor law disqualification in connection
with oldage pensions and the insur
ance of working people against sick
ness and, to a-certain extent against
observation-disclosures useful measures
and worthy of a Democratic govern
ment. But the one great measure that
parliament is to give practically all

ways the contention was made that
the change had the authority of the
Bible behind it. Now they are to go
step further and change the final
authority. The commandments are
not flexible enough 10 suit modern
caprice. They are to be altered to
conform to present day demands. In
other words, to be thoroughly up to
date religion must conform to the re-
quirements of society, not society to
the requirements of religion. The lat
ter would involve sacrifice and any
religion that requires a sacrifice Of
human inclinations is ancient and I'M
scientific.
But then why should non-Catholics
not change the Ten Commandments
and the whole Bible, if need be? The
churches outside the Catholic Church
are human Institutions of which the
Bible is the constitution. They are
constantly changing and like states
that find new demands made upon
them, as civilization grows in COM
plexity, they find it necessary to
amend and replace their constitu-
tons in order to keep pace with the
changing conditions. Herein lies the
difficulty: They conform to the de-
mands of society instead of demand.
ing that society conform to their
teaching.
AS it is easiest to locate a flaw
when the flaw is most marked, the
Anglican Church may soon be able to
see it's own absurdities.

It Is Easy to Be Pleasant.

Nothing is simpler or easier than
the power of pleasing. 1t does not
require any particular talents or any
superhuman effort. 1t is not con.
fined to any condition of life; nor is
it dependent on any surrounding cir
cumstances. All it demands is the
presence OF sympathetic spirit, a
willingness to be pleased, desire to
see the bright side of things, and to
discover the best points in people, a
frankness and openness of disposition,
a readiness to leave self and other d.
verting objects and to enter heartily
into subjects more acceptable. Who
ever will cultivate these qualities and
habits of mind will ind a new life
opening up within her-a life that
will be fuller and richer in it's own
happiness because it will be constant
ly increasing that of her friends and
acquaintance.

RELIGION IN THE SCHOOLS.

The superintendent of schools in
Berkely, California, suggests as plan
for providing public school children
with religious education that the chill
dren be permitted to have one-half a
day each week which they may devote
to that end. Parents of course will
be free to send their children to their
own pastors or church organizations
for religious instruction. The objec-
ton no doubt will be raised by ire
ligious people that too much time
from school would be lost by following
out a plan of this kind. Such objec-
ton, however, can only arise out of
an differentiation of religious train
ing. The plan has some merits, but
after all is said it is not the few hours
spent in studying Bible History or
the Catechism that make children
thoroughly religious. Is it not rather
the atmosphere in which children live
from day to day that perfects their
characters?
Everyone who has associated with
people who put their whole soul in
their work has at some time or other
experienced desire to initiate them.
The pure, noble soul creates an atmos-
phere which has a refining effect on
all those who move in it. Who is there
that has stood In the presence of an
earnest, cultured and virtuous person
and has not had his hatred for evil
intensified? Who is there that has Wis.

Value Of. Being Alone.

The better sort are driven back on
themselves, away from the noise and
strife of the crowd; for only quiet
ness and remoteness are pure thought
and love possible, says Bishop Spald-
ing. 1t were not rash to say that the
purpose of education is to accustom
us to live in our own minds and
consciences. The finest natures are
the most lonely. The genius seeks
the solitude where none but high
spirits dwell. The saint loves only
the company of God and of holy
thoughts. Nevertheless human quail
ties can be awakened and developed
in society only; IN other words,
through companionship and the inter.
change of good offices. The warp and
wool of our lives are made by society.

CANADA'S ASSURANCE.

Champ Clark's declaration concern
ing the annexation of Canada still
continues TO awaken interest Ad-
verse comment has come from all
quarters, and some of it seems to re-
veal the fact that there are people
both in Canada and the United States
who construe the motives of the coun-
tries in entering into a reciprocity
treaty to mean more than what is ex-
pressed on the surface. At Ottawa
feeling ran so high on Wednesday of
this week that the French nationalist
members of parliament offered res
olution formally declaring loyalty to
England. The resolution was passed
unanimously.
"This discussion In which We are
engaged has given rise to a great deal
of comment on both sides of the line"
said Sir William Laurier, speaking of
the resolution. MEN there are in the
United States who have interpreted
this agreement as meaning ultimately
the annexation of Canada Men there
are on this side of the line who have
taken the same position. But am
glad to say there is not one man on
this side Of the house who has ever
thought of any such thing"
In The United States the opposition
to any such construction of the reel
procity treaty is just as marked as
in Canada. Champ Clark has been
criticized for what is termed his IAN
nexation blunder." II Mr. Clark had
made such statement year ago,
his critics say, it would have passed
for joke and would have evoked no
comment. But now that he Is the
probable speaker of the next house
his words bear more than ordinary
weight He should have guarded his
utterances. 1t is further stated that
by his ill-advised statement, the Mis-
sourian has put himself out of the
running for the presidency in 1912.
Perhaps Mr. Clark did throw the
pendulum little too far in the op-
posite direction to that in which Com
mander Simms swung it. A middle
course would have been better for
both.

The Parents Arc to Blame.

When boys and girls, in their teens,
form the habit of staying out in the
street late at night, when they take to
drink, when they go to questionable
resorts, when they insist on frequent.
ing balls, parties and excursions,
when they go to improper shows at
theaters, ETC., they are not so much
to blame as their parents.
If the father and the mother. SAWS
the Columbian, had done their full
duty in training the children right,
these would most likely not have gone
to the bad.
There are exceptional cases in
which the tendency of evil apparently
could not be controlled, but, az a rule,
children are what their parents make
them.
On the father and the mother, there
fore, rests the responsibility for the
conduct, the habits, the companions,
the principles, the amusements and
the hopes Of the young. On them will
fall due share Of the divine punish
ment If, through their neglect, their
sons and daughters fall into evil ways
Their happiness in heaven will be in
creased it, because OF their instruc.
lions, their children give glory to God

VETO BILL PAST FINAL STAGE.

tuesday night Witnessed wild
demonstration at Westminster as a
result of the announcement of the
veto bill after its first reading The
vote stood ISL to 227, showing that
practically the solid government ma
jority was on hand to help the meas
ure on it's course through the house.
When the announcement was made
the members of the Nationalist con-
tingent rose in their places and vent
ed their enthusiasm In a wild burst
of cheers. The Liberals soon fol-
lowed suit and the result was dem
onstrntion such as should make the
lords and their supporters turn sick
at heart.
The debate on the bill brought out
the fact that the Unlonists are will
ing to settle the question by con-
ference. One Of the opposition speak
ers after urging this point went so
far as to say that should the Liberals
force the veto bill the time would
come sooner or later when the OPP
position would repeal it. Winston
Churchill, who closed the debate for
the government, passed over this
threat lightly, saying that if the min
istry We're to alter their course at this
stage they would lose their entire
support. The lords had an opportun-
ity to settle the question by the con-
ference method once Seemingly they
did not think the pressure sufficient
to warrant them in making the con-
cessions that were demanded They
cannot consistently expect the govern
lnent now to offer an alternative
which was once rejected. For the Lib
erals to do that would be for them
to lose their prestige.
Last week Mr.. Redmond made what
is characterized as the ablest speech
of his whole career on the Irish ques-
ton. He pointed out the readiness
of Ireland to continue in full friend
Illness with the people of England and
to recognize the supremacy of the I'M
perial Parliament. Mr. Redmond fur
Their commended that the fear OF Cath.
olic oppression on the part Of Prot
estants was unfounded. In order to
prove his sincerity he offered to
strengthen the supremacy of the Eng
lsh parliament that those who oppose
Home Rule on this ground may be
pacited.
So far the government has met with
excellent success in the carrying out
Of it's policy. The veto bill will soon
be before the lords for ratification.
What attitude they will take when
the matter is finally submitted to
them remains to be seen. But the
probability is when they see the solid
government majority voting for the
measure they will accept their fate
with no greater attempt at resistance
than the conventional protest.
