A FEW QUESTIONS.

The following problems are SUBJ
mitted for the consideration Of the
Catholic editors assembled in conven-
ton at Columbus a couple of weeks
hence:
l. What should be done with the
man who subscribes for a paper to
get rid Of = solicitor and changes his
residence to evade the collector?
2. Which of the following malefac-
tors should the editor order the gov
ernor to order the state militia to deal
with: the paidup subscriber who says
a certain article is rotten or the sub
scriber owing seventeen years who
declares the same article is the best
ever?

AN ENLIGHTENED LAiTY.

TO be a Catholic and ashamed of it
is worse than having no religion. Yet
there are many Catholics who are SO
timid and fearful of asserting their
faith in the presence of opposition
that their attitude practically amounts
to being ashamed of the creed they
profess. If some one makes an untrue
statement about the Church in their
presence they prefer to let it pass
without correction rather than run the
risk of starting discussion. They
are afraid they will be taken for reli-
gious cranks who are too narrow to
appreciate modern up-to- date ideas.
But there is no need of arousing en-
nifty or quarrels in asserting ones
rights. Most people will listen to
corrections tactfully made and have
a higher regard for the person who
has the courage 10 make them. OF
course ones ability to meet attacks
Will depend Qn his education, but
there are few Catholics who are not
able off hand 70 puncture many of
the myths that so often take on new
lease of life.
The greatest boon the Church can
have is an enlightened laity. Cath
Ollie laymen can exert an influence
Where the clergy cannot. Many petty
nf Not hn1i ~, j
be afraid to say word in the pres
ence OF priest. But they will talk
freely in the presence of laymen with
whom they consider themselves to be
Oh an equal intellectual level. If
catholic men and women armed With
the truth have the courage to assert
themselves in private and in public
life they can be silent band of mis-
sionaries supplementing and complet,
ing the work of the clergy.
Every Catholic layman ought to
familiarize himself with the principal
facts about his religion. There are
hundreds of books on the market to
be had for a nominal price which will
furnish this information. 1t is we'll,
too, to know Of some of these books
and to be able to put them in the
hands of friends who evidence a de-
sire to get first hand information.
Among all the books that would serve
this purpose there is none that will
do it better than The Faith of Our
Fathers" by Cardinal Gibbons. It
covers the whole field and is by an
unmpeachabe authority. ,. 49,.

Cardinal on Prohibition.

Here is Cardinal Gibbons view OF
prohibitions:
THE Church does not favor prohi-
bition laws. 1t is well for Catholics
to understand her position on the IL
quor question at a time when laws
regulating the sale Of liquors are SO
much discussed. She believes in tenn
perance societies with their thousands
of members, but she believes that this
temperance should come from educa-
ton and the exercise of free will
the determination Of the man not to
fall into the sin Of gluttony. She
knows, also, that no prohibition law
can prevent men who wish to drink
from obtaining liquor, but that prohi-
bttion as now obtaining in some states
and countries IL merely an exchange
of illicit for open selling"
The Irish standard., 1911-08-12
A Sensible Christmas.

In the hot month of August it seems
out of time to mention such a far-off
feast as Christmas but a Christmas
reform movement is organizing and
preparing it's work months before the
holidays. The safe and sane Fourth
movement proved. such a success that
sane Christmas is only question
of time says the Catholic Journal
! (Memphis).
Back to the old-t time Christmas is
the cry Of the day, back to the day of
; religious worship and family cheer
when Christmas commenced with a
five o'clock mass, then finally break
fast with the presents afterward. A
family dinner was the order of the day
and big basket of good things was
sent to the poor.
Indiscriminate giving marks the
, modern Christmas. Friends far and
near must be remembered with gift
until the poor housewives head huns
| with trying to make certain sum go
round Nothing is left over for the
poor and the religious side of the feast
is completely forgotten.
All this is false conception of the
spirit of Christmas and must give way
to common sense. May the sane
Christmas movement spread all over
America by the coming of next De-
cember.

THE PoPE's HEALTH.

! The persistent dispatches from
Rome are uniformly indicative of the
enfeebled condition of His Holiness
Pope Plus Y. These rumors have been
coming with more or less regularity
ever since the Holy Father began his
pontificate. AS it was known that
Plus Y. was frequently troubled with
the govt, though not to any serious
given these dispatches. But now the
Holy Father has reached the years
when old age is beginning to tell on
him and Irregularities which would
one time give his physicians no alarm
are now considered much more grave.
A dispatch from Rome published by
associated press papers last Thursday
says: Pope Plus early last night en-
,, joyed several hours of rest in his new
room on the third floor of the Vatican
to which he was moved yesterday
from his small bed chamber on the
fourth floor. The new room is more
spacious and airy and the change
seems to have revived the Popes
strength somewhat and cheered his
spirits.
when Doctors Petacci and Mar
chiafava visited His Holiness in the
early evening his temperature was 1O1,
but at midnight after he had perspired
! profusely, it fell below 100. The pains
in the knee also diminished and he
was able to obtain some refreshing
sleep.
THE efforts of the physicians now
will be toward restoring the strength
Of the Pope, fearing that otherwise
| there may be fresh complication of
the throat and bronchial trouble"
When allowance is made for the en-
belishments which these reports re-
ceive in the course of their transmits
sion it does not seem even at the pres
ent time that the condition of Plus y.
is alarming. 1t is to be hoped that fu-
! ture reports will bring better news
from Rome.
