ARCHDIOCESAN SUPPLE
MENT.

This week The Catholic Bulle-
tin sends forth it's Archdiocesan
Supplement in the hope that it
will prove interesting to all read
ers. It is brief record of one
line OF parochial activity in the
Archdiocese of st. Paul during the
past twelve months. It contains
cuts and descriptive sketches of
the churches, schools, converts.
and other parish buildings erected
or dedicated during the past year.
1t is not as complete as we hoped
to make it for reasons set forth
In the supplement itself. As far
as it goes, however, it is valuable
record of diocesan activity. It
furnishes evidence of the fact that
the work of erecting two great
Cathedrals in the Twin Cities has
not exhausted the resources of the
diocese. The people of the differ
ent parishes, in addition to con-
tributing their share towards the
upbuilding of the mother church
es of the diocese, have not allowed
their own needs to be forgotten.

THE REAL TEST,

The following incident shows
that the path of the religion-maker
is more thickly bestrewn with
thorns in some countries than it is
in America. At LODI in Russian
Poland a new sect was formed by
man named Kowalski who
gained a large following among
Moravite women who considered
him the Redeemer. For a time
all went well; but lately his fol-
lowers proposed that he submit to
crucifxion in order that, by his
subsequent resurrection, he might
prove to the world the truth of his
doctrines. The so-called Redeemer
did not relish this suggestion, but
his followers were determined and
pressed the point. One day thirty
Of these women surrounded his
dwelling and would have forced
him to a certain and horrible
death were it not for the
prompt interference Of the po-
lice. The women brought with
them all the necessary nipple
ments for the sacrifice; and it was
only by stating that he was max
ing preparations within that he
obtained respite which enabled
the police to reach him before his
followers undertook to carry out
their plans.
1t is stated that Napoleon was
once asked to establish a re-
ligion Of his own but he re-
fused on the ground that he was
not ready to submit to the ordeal
of crucifixion. This is a very good
test; and if all founders of So
called religions in this country
were obliged to submit to it in
order to test their sincerity and
demonstrate the alleged divine
character of their mission, there
would be fewer man-made relig-
ions amongst us and fewer at
tempts to foist strange doctrines
ON credulous dupes.

PHILIPPINE DIVORCE BILL.
KILLED.

In recent editorial we referred
to the efforts made during the
past few months to place divorce
law on the statute books of the
Philippine Islands. The bill was
approved by the House Of Depu-
ties and sent to the Executive
Commission of the Islands for
ratification. Fears were enter
tanned that it would receive the
approval of the Commission and
thus become a law Of the land.
This danger, however, is now
past. The Executive Commission
has voted down the UBIQUITOUS
measure and the dread spectre of
divorce with its attendant evils
has been banished from the Is
lands for the present at least. Tt
now appears that the bill, which
was supposed to have been faith.
cred by some the American resi-
dents, was, in reality, introduced
into the House Of Deputies by ma
tive agitators who wished to con-
vey the impression that they were
truly Americanized. They did not.
by any means, represent the senti-
ments of the vast majority of the
Filipinos.
The Executive Commission is
composed of a majority of Ameri-
cans and their prompt rejection
of the divorce bill reflects great
credit on them, and may be taken
as an induction that they are fully
alive to the responsibilities that
weigh upon them. Evidently they
are imbued with the true Ameri-
can spirit and not only know what
is for the welfare of the Fili-
pinos, but are doing whatever they
can to Americanize them along the
proper lines. This is the kind of
Americanization that is needed in
the Philippine Islands, and the ac-
ton of the Executive Commission
will, no doubt, do much to make
the Filipinos who are trying to
ape so-called American ways, see
that they are far from rejecting

the spirit or attitude of the Ameri-
can people towards these Insular
Possessions.
In this connection it may be
stated that an intimation was
given to the Executive Commission
from high authority in Washing
ton that not only did the condi-
tons prevailing in the Philippine
Islands postulate the rejection Of
the bill under consideration, but
also that, in itself, the bill deserv-
ed to be killed. All honor, there
fore, to those to whom honoris due.
Those who are charged with the
American administration of the
Philippine Islands have given an
other proof that they are anxious
to deal justly and honorably with
the Filipinos. They recognize the
good work which the Catholic
Church has done in bringing the
natives to their present state of
civilization and they do not wish
to do anything that would prove
detrimental to their future well
fare. The proposed divorce
law would have worked ir-
reparable harm aud the admin
istration was unwilling to leopard
ize the future of the natives by in
PRODUCING among them the evils
that follow from divorce and that
have proved so disastrous to the
social well-being of the United
States. All right-thinking people
will applaud this attitude and give
due credit to the government for
it's prudent foresight and wise &C.
ton in this important matter.

There is no better way Of conse-
Grating the lenten season to God
than by daily attendance at the
Holy Sacrifice Of the Mass. This, no
doubt, will involve no inconsider-
able sacrifice Of bodily comfort for
many who, nevertheless, will make
it willingly for the sake Of their
souls. But what about those who
are less generous in their self-sacri-
fee for God? They are unworthy
Of the sanity heroes and heroines
of the past whose holy lives they
should strive to initiate. When
ever possible, daily attendance at
Holy Mass should take precedence
over all other forms of devotion.

A NATIONAL DIVIDEND.

A western editor with a pen
chant for statistics, finding that
the value of church property in
the United States as reported by
the census amounts to $1,257, ;
575,867, figures it out that "the
country loses in taxes more than
twenty-five millions Of dollars. "
The proper view of it, says the
Chattanooga Times, is that it is
not "tax loss" Of twenty-five
million dollars" but an invest
ment of that amount on which the
government-national and state
reaps a harvest Of dividends in the
way of responsible, patriotic and
well disciplined citizenship, not to
speak Of the savings in criminal
costs. 1t may appear to be econ
omically paradoxical, but it is a
fact that nations are prosperous
and have progressed in civilization
in proportion to the amount of
property they report exempt from
taxation because of it's educa-
tional or religious character. In
other words, the greater our religi-
GUS and educational development,
the larger are the dividends we
as a nation are receiving on that
part of our wealth from which
we exact no tax tolls.
This view of the question, which
is eminently just and reasonable,
seldom appeals to those who be-
lieve in taxing every thing in sight
in order to increase the revenue
of the state. Their close scrutiny
of the purely economic phase of
the question blinds them to all
else; and they will not see that
there are things which cannot be
appreciated at monetary value
which are, nevertheless, very real
and an asset that should not be
left entirely out of consideration
when one is striking a balance.

The annual appeal issued recent
~ by their Eminences, Cardinal
Gibbons and Cardinal Farley and
Archbishop Prendergast on be-
half of the Catholic mission work
among the negroes and Indians,
directs attention to the need of a
fuller missionary spirit and activ-
ity among Catholics and concludes
with these words: 'FWhat is this
spirit which we would rouse up
but the mission spirit of Christ
Himself, Who hungered and sacri-
feed Himself for souls, but above
all for the souls of the poor7 THE
poor have the gospel preached to
them, this was the peculiar glory
of His mission spirit. And this
mission work, this collection, is
for the poorest of the poor, the
Negro and the Indian. Of all
those to whom the gospel is to be
preached none so poor and help
less as the Negro and the Indian.
But recently raised from slavery
or savagery, with childlike minds
and hearts, lacking that develop
ment which other races have had
for centuries, there are no others
on Gods earth to whom the words
of Our Lord apply more fittingly,
none but that can appeal more
fully to the Catholic heart. Com
ing, too, at a time when the call
to missionary work is so pressing
and obligatory, at a time when
means to carry on this Negro and
Indian work is more needful than

David Goldstein, the we'll
known Catholic lecturer On Social
ism, has written a very interesting
article entitled Socialism versus
the Church which will repay per-
usal by all who are interested in
social questions. It contrasts the
doctrines of the Church with those
of Socialism and points out the
menace of the latter. "Why should
Catholics" he then asks, stand
all the day idle? Ours is the duty
to gain a better understanding of
the antagonism between the
Church and the Socialist move
ment. We must rally to the de-
Tense of the Faith against Social
list assault. - This article is pub

The season Of Lent is time of
special prayer and devotion, as
we'll as of self-denial. Those who,
because of their duties, cannot
begin the day before Gods altar
should seek the Tabernacle before
retiring to rest by participating in
the evening devotions held in
every parish church. Special exer-
cises of piety appropriate to the
holy season will tend to keep our
thoughts ever turned to the goal
toward which the Church would
direct our hating steps.

AN ERA OF CONVERT
MAKING.

The number Of converts made
during recent years through the
missionary work among MONICA
tholics which has been so largely
inspired and directed by the Apos-
tolic Mission House, Washington,
has turned the attention of Catho-
lies to this important phase of the
Church. activity and has i'm
pressed upon them, as nothing
else could, the great strides which
she is making in bringing into her
fold the "other sheep" spoken of
in the gospel. "Last year. says
the Rev. A. P. Doyle, C. s. p, Rec
tor of the Apostolic Mission House,
'our missionaries gave hundreds
of mission and the record Of con-
vert making is away beyond the
thirty-fve thousand mark each
year. This estimate says nothing
of the hundreds Of fallen away
Catholics that have been brought
back to a good life" S'How near
at hand" he asks, edo you think
is the time when America will be
dominant1y Catholic? Things
move on with rapid strides these
days, and the creation of three
American Cardinals has brought
the Church once more to the fore
front. The dominant note in the
address Of the Holy Father as well
as in the replies Of the Cardinals
is the hope Of wonderful progress
among English-speaking peoples.
They have all spoken Of the "era
of convert making All this
indicates a marvellous advance
along the lines wherein the mis-
sionaries of the Apostolic Mission
House have been working these
twenty years.
eff all the priests and laity
would turn their faces to this one
goal, what a tremendous impetus
the movement would get! One of
our great leaders recently said
and there is a burning truth in
it we must labor to gain the
confidence, love and respect of the
American people. This once
gained, the Catholic Church on her
way to claim the American heart,
may carry a thousand dogmas on
her back - -.1g
Have we done anything during
the year to increase the number
Of converts by our example or our
teaching? Are we planning to do
anything along this line during the
months to come? We can all teach
by example, if not by word; and
the good seed sown by the exemp-
larry conduct Of a practical Catho-
lie will not fall upon barren
ground. We may not see the fruit
which it is destined to bring forth,
but we may rest assured that it
will yield a hundred-fold harvest
to be garnered in God s own time
and in His chosen way.

THE DEMOCRACY OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

CAIHOLlC CHURCH.
/ In a recent issue Of the Chicago
American, which is controlled by
William Randolph Hearst, there
appeared an editorial in which the
Catholic Church is referred to as
"the first great republic of our
era" The Chicago American
holds no brief for this venerable
Church and hence it's utterance is
all the more notable for the broad
and enlightened view which it
takes. We subjoin an extract
from it:
To understand the long life, the
power that has lasted through GEN.
turtles, the purpose that continues
unchanged as men come and go
within the great Catholic Church,
it is necessary to realize that that
Church was the first great repub-
lie of our era, and that it is a great
republic now.
In the days of savage kings and
despotic rulers, in the later days
1 Of refined monarchs and govern
ment slightly less brutal, the Cath
Ollie Church, an organization Of
spiritual as well as temporal gov
eminent, had an immense advan-
tage over every government on
earth.
The kings and the emperors
came, died, and each successor was
a matter of accident. The child
that happened to be born first in
herited the crown. Because of the
weakness due to accident Of birth,
dynasties and kingdoms and en-
pires, changed, melted and disap-
peared.
But the Catholic Church went
forward through the centuries
steadily gaining in power, because
from the first the government Of
the church was a republican form
of government.
| No accident Of birth determines
any important fact in the govern
ment Of the Church.
| The Cardinals, body Of learned
and powerful men, themselves, Sc
lected because of their special abil-
ity and regardless of birth or rank,
elect in their turn the Pope to rule
the Church-just as our Electoral
College was established by the
founders of this government to
elect President.
! When some feeble king was
succeeding to the throne and the
power of France, when some weak
ling, through the accident of birth,
was made ruler of Spain, or Of
/ England, the ablest man within
the Church was chosen to rule.
I A boy that had been the hum
blest and poorest of children,
tending animals in the field, Sleep
ing on hard bed or no bed, while
the boy Emperor was in his pal
ace, lived to see himself upon the
throne of st. Peter, and to see the
Emperor grown to manhood hum
bly, submissive without the gate.
/ That was the result of repub-
] lican government within the Cath
Ollie Church. The ablest man was
chosen for the highest honors and
4 responsibilities. And many royal

what it was to bow his head to the
chosen ruler of the Church, chosen
because of ability, knowledge, de-
votion, and chosen on the basis of
