THE ADEsTE FIDELls.

AS the Adeste Fidelis is sung until
Candlemas Day, February End, this
word about it's origin will be interest
ing. Individual authorship the Adeste
Fidelis may not have had. The at
mosphere of the monastic scriptorium
breathes, however, through its melodi-
GUS strophes. 1t is in many respects
unique in Christmas hymnology. More
than any other church song it blends
prophecy, history, prayer, exultation
and praise. III 1t were printed side
by side with the Nicene Greed it would
be found an astonishing versification
of that august prose.
Every line of the Adeste is casket
Of faith and love. Upon it's cadence
many hours must have been spent for
the crystalization of sublime truth
into crisp and dazzling syllables.
Adeste: approach; fideles: We faithful;
laeti: joyful; triumphantes: victorious;
venite: come; adoremus: let us adore;
Dominum: the Lord.
The hymn in the Latin form, is so
musical that it is memorized almost
without effort. 1t is found continu-
ously from the middle of the seven
teenth century. 1t is believed that in
many centers of devotion 1t was made
also a recitation as of an oratorio.

on England, where a far-reaching
change of this kind is now in process.
NO other country of Europe furnishes
less proyocation for the activities of
anarchists, whether of the peaceable
or the violent stripe. Now Ferrer's
sole aim as a teacher and publicist
was to make revolutionists and anar-
chists. While he did not, in his later
years, advocate the use of force, there
can be no doubt that he would have
approved it If he thought it opportune.
Nor can anyone doubt that his teach
ing was calculated to foster precisely
the same attitude in others. Unless,
therefore, Mr.. Archer believes in the
theories of anarchism, to be realized
il necessary by the bomb and the
torch, he does but stultify himself
when he implies or suggests that Fer
rer's political teaching and activity
were in the direction of progress.

IMPORTANT WORK or A BENE-
DIcTINE.

Father Antonio Staerk, monk of the
Benedictine Monastery at Buckfast, at
present serving in the Church of st.
Stanislaus, 9, Malta Masterskia, has
nearly completed his important work
the reproduction of the original
texts of st. Jerome, which are in the
Russian Imperial library. This work
contains several manuscripts of great
interest to Englishmen, especially
those on the ecclesiastical history of
the Venerable Bede and his comment
aries on Holy Scripture. Others are
on the famous codex of four Gospels
in old Irish writing of the eighth CEN
tury by Frideger There are also
several old manuscripts of the school
of Bobbio Ga foundation of st. Colum-
banus). The scientific academies
could not undertake the production of
such an expensive work, but Father
Staerk has carried it out free of debt,
thanks to the liberal help he has re-
ceived from all, Catholic, Orthodox
and Protestant. 1t will form a mag
nificent volume, and will contain about
third more than was promised in the
prospectus. Nearly all the principal
libraries of the Continent, England
and America are on the list of sub
scribers. The texts, many of which
have never been reproduced, will be Of
great value in the revision of the
Vulgate. Everybody connected with
the work, publishers, printers and
photographers, have co-operated
heartily with Father Staerk, and it is
through the kindness of the Russian
authorities that these valuable manu-
scripts will be given to the world. IL
is not too much to say that the book
will be the most remarkable one of
the coming year

anthropy in Detroit and Takes
Shot at Scott Gift.

In a powerful talk In the Lenten
service in the Detroit opera house.
Wednesday noon, the Rev. Frederick
ID. Leete. pastor Of the Central M. e.
church, declared that the church In
practically powerless to remedy the
saloon and other existing evils, large
ly because of the obstacles that have
been placed in its way by the poll
ticians.
1T is q shame and a disgrace that
there are more ttan 1900 saloons for
q population OF less than SOC, ,000," he
said. While l do not decry the poll
ticians as such and consider politics
an honorable and useful business
some politicians are responsible for
the fact that there are not only so
called respectable saloons, but also
that there are miserable dives that
are the breeding places of murder.
thieving and all sorts Of crime. The
responsibility for these crimes rests
upon the heads of the men who per-
init such places to exist. Some peo-
pie like to lay the responsibility for
these conditions upon the church. but
the church Is so tied up with politi-
cal and financial difficulties that IL
can do nothing to remedy them. The
politicians have the church bottled
up and bound down 80 that It cannot
be reasonably held to account.
II am not a pessimist about Detroit,
but I do not believe that the man
who shuts his eyes to the evils that
he finds is a true friend to the COM
munity. There are many indications
OF better things. One is the growing
influence OF women in public AFFAIRS
I think, too, there Is some hope for
the mayor when / see him attending
these Lenten services, but he needs
the cooperation and help of the
Christian citizens OF Detroit more than
does the mayor OF Jerusalem. l hail
the energetic Board Of Commerce, and
believe that they are doing a great
work to make the city not only big
ger, but better. | am not SO much
interested in q big city, but I want
TO see the Detroit OF the future bet
ter city, a city stronger in moral life.
These are things that l think
| the church Is Detroit ought to do bet
| ter. The first Is evangelization. The
churches are not evangelizing the city
as they should. There is Just as much
pagan and goddess living to be found
in Detroit as there is anywhere.
There is just as much soulless. selfish
sodden sin in Detroit as there is in
Calcutta, and the sinners are just as
hungry for some one to speak to them
OF better things.
There Is not enough philanthropy
In Detroit. II Is true. OF course, that
we have a few philanthropists, but
great gifts to philanthropy are SO
rare that the city cannot see its way
clear to refuse a gift even at the
price OF honoring a dishonorable
name. There are not enough hospt-
tails, not enough institutions for the
aged and dependent.

CITY OWNERSHIP
PAYS IN HULL, ENG.
United States Consul Reports Munich
pality Has Made 100000 on
Street Railway in 10 Years.

That municipal ownership OF a
street railway system Is success In
Hull, Eng, is shown by United States
Consul Walter G. Hamm, stationed
In that city, in report to the United
States government. Mr.. Hamm points
out that, during the past 10 years, the
city of Hull has cleared over $7OO,O00
on the operation OF It's street cars,
In spite of the fact that only one-cent
fares are charged in the morning and
two-cents the rest OF the day.
The report is especially interesting
to Detroit at the present time, mas
much as the question OF operating
the local car lines by the city Is re-
ceiving much attention.
Mr.. Hamm's report Is as follows:
I'm the past 10 years the city
treasury of Hull has received
from the profits of the municipal
street car system over 100000
which has lessened local taxation
by Just that amount. This is af-
ter paying all operating expenses
and interest charges, keeping the
system In flrst-class order, and
adding a stated amount annually
to the sinking fund.
The net profits in the fiscal
year ended March 81. 1910, were
$111,647, and $77,864 was set
aside for the relief of taxes; in
1909, with net profits Of $130,646
the sum of $S7,597 was devoted
to tax relief.
There are no fare zones. The
fare is 2 cents, which carries a
passenger from one end of the
line to the other, and in the
morning hours the charge Is only
