TIE HUMAN WARRIOR 3

A Chicago man has applied for a dill
vorce because his wife went through
his trousers pockets seeking some
small change.
One can picture this man without cx.
ercisilIs the imagination 10 any great
extent He is undoubtedly n lean,
cadavcrous person who wears car
muifs and red shawl around his neck.
He is exactly the sort OF a person who
makes his wife write her letters with
bluing Instead OF ink and who wears
porous plasters all winter to keep
warm instead of buying an overcoat.
Any man who has to rush to the
courts with petty grievance such as
his is no man at all and II he were any
sort OF a man his wife wouldn't have
to search his pockets for money while
he is asleep. He belongs back in the
palezolc age or among his own kind,
the warthoss OF Africa.
Men don't arrange their domestic
finances this way any more. They got
all over that idea cycles ago. Mon
nowadays believe that their wives are
entitled to as much as they have them
selves. II not more. They have an un-
dcrstanding with their wives which is
as satisfactory as their circumstances
will permit and then tho man and his
wife are as happy as the high cost of
living will allow. That Chicago man Is
a hopeless back number.
Anyhow. after all other arguments
against this man have been exhausted,
There remains the argument that. II he
had any sense at all, he wouldn't have
left his money in his trousers pocket
where his wife could find it.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 24.-Death and

Up in the Red Stone valley near

can be learned.

AS to why he wanted to be Gov

Jones stated the policies he favored,

To FINISH ST. PETERS
An Effort Will Be Made to Complete

The marble workers will soon begin

Peters. The time chosen for complet-

according to the original design is
we'll chosen in that it comedies with
the sixteenth century of the recogni-
ton of Christianity by Emperor Con-
stantine, who laid the foundation of
the first Church of st. Peter.
The present Cathedral was erected
on the site of the old one, and some
of the original foundations remain.
St. Peters, though one hundred and
thirty-fve years in building, was never
fully completed. The facade was only

OF the Reichstag is the object Of this
struggle. Everyone of us has the OBJ
legation to stand up for the constitu-
tional rights of the peoples represen-
tation; let us remember this on the
day Of election!
The Centre has always been op-
posed to the centralizing tendencies of
the Imperial Government, and shows
itself the consistent champion of State
rights. 1t has fought for the secrecy
of the ballot, and bitterly opposed
the extension of the legislative period
from three to seven years. 1t has
done it's utmost to make Parliament
airy institutions a reality by trying to
establish the principle of Ministerial
responsibility to the Reichstag. Mind
full of it's own past of persecution, it
has always opposed exclusive laws, !"
and with rare courage opposed the
special legislation directed against
the Socialists. On the other hand it
has found favor with the Government
by it's support of policy of protection
for home industries, and by the read
mess with which it has voted millions
for the building of a great navy. Upon
all the questions grouped under the
term social reform" the Centre has
taken an advanced position and the
German system of national insurance
would have been impossible without
it's eager cooperation. A party with
such traditions and such a record of
public service could not fail to COM
mand respect throughout the Empire
"a respect which will not be dimin-
ished by the knowledge that it can
command over 100000 votes at the
polls, and has 1O5 representative in
the Reichstag.

THE HOLY NAME.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
j. J. CresWeII.)

Jesu, that name SO all divine
First heard by her, haild full of grace
The sinless one of all our race
Of David's royal house and line.
The Royal Harpist longed to hear,
That name of Him, SO long foretold
While shepherd kings, in awe and fear
Bring gifts of incense, myrrh and gold
And holy Simeon, in his arms,
His Lord and Master would behold.
A sin-lost world, by Adams fall
That Name alone could pay our loss,
AS Plate nailed it to the cross,
Redemption's Pledge, for sins atone.
Jesu, to walk with Thee once more,
Ger Judah's plain, round Galilee,
Or by the blue-waved silvery shore,
To feel again the soul made free. /,
What can l do, or aught may say,
AS pilgrim lost in vale of strife
That Holy Name now points to Thee
Like radiant star DER dark 'ning sea
If Thou would'st enter, follow Me,
The Way, the Truth, the Life.

retain his standing in the Church. 2.
Giordano Bruno was burned to death
on February II, 1900, for heresy, be-
cause he taught, among other things,
that Christ was not God, but merely
an unusually skilful magician, that
the Holy Ghost is the soul of the
world, that the devil will be saved,
etc. He was put to death by the
secular power after trial before a
commission of the Roman Inquisition
during which he was granted several
terms of respite in which to retract
his theological errors. In these days
heresy was regarded as crime which
the state itself considered worse than
treason and punished with death. 8.

The souls in Purgatory do suffer great
agony. This is known as the pain of
sense. While suffering they are
awaiting patiently their release, which
will come only when the debt of tenn
poral punishment due to their sins is
paid in full. They can do nothing to
help themselves; but depend upon the
prayers and good works of their
brethren on earth and of the Saints in
Heaven. We can help them; as the
Church teaches, by offering our pray
ers, and especially the Holy Sacifice
of the Mass, which is the most effica-
cious means that can be employed to
secure the freedom of the souls in
Purgatory from the place of punish
ment
