How Catholics Have Lost,

The Rev. DIR. Thomas O'Hanlon, one
of the LEADERS, of the Methodist Church
in New Jersey, died at Ocean Grove
the great camp meeting center, on
September 30, in his cighticth year
He was the son of Irish Catholic par
cnts, who driftcd into the Jersey will
derness when, he was n child. and
there was neither priest, nor church,
nor Catholic neighbor to keep inside
the fold. says the Pittsburg Catholic
He fell as IL boy under Methodist
influence, after attending an old-timc
camp meeting, and was educated by
men OF that sect who appreciated his
evident ability. FEc became the prcsi-
dent Of their seminary at Pennington
and during the thirty-thrce years he
held the position, according to his
own oft repeated boast, he trained and
sent out on their mission six hundred
ministers of the Methodist Church.
Think of it, gentlemen" said Bish-
well, speaking three years ago OF the
power of an individual influence to
the graduating class of st. Francis
xavier's College "Think of it! The
son of an Irish Catholic father and
. II other making ready six hundred ac-
tive, eager workers to destroy the
Church of his ancestors!"
Methodism for years with O'Hanlon
was a Fitzgerald, and in the country
round about dwell Methodist Murphys

terations of good old Celtic patrony-
mics that tell the story Of similar
lapses during the pioneer days.

the impression that he was hopeless

maid, long ripe for the harvest, and
ready to be bound and bundled away

Then, too, some weary pilgrim,
eager to shake Oft the mortal coil of a
cold and selfish. world, and longing
for warmth and comfort in the next
could with propriety on his part leave
last request Tor the choir to enter
tain his friendss Will, the good old
hymn, Let the Lower Lights Be
Burning."
Another, rclnarseful for the lite he
had led. might desire to have sung at
his funeral, ''rnrow Out the Life
Line" Rescue Sthc Perisl,ing," and
similar selections which would envel-
opc in a spirit Of gloom an otherwise
pleasant occasion To his friends and
relatives.
Indeed, there lis no limit to the ludi-
crous follies that may be indugcd in

so all thoughtful people will ap-

fervently pray THAT the new rule he
has establishedfnlay lead to a univcr-
sal custom. Moro dignity and less
devilment in ,nerrage ceremonies and
celebrations will tend toward greater
stability in thes domestic relation, and
make for a swaetcr seriousness about

Since the flight OF Mohamned from

morality, but OF civilization. The CRU

tide of Turkish conquest. The days of
Sobteski and the Crimean War simply

Of the Powers of the West. And now,
when the little Sick Man of Europe

in addition, have the sympathy Of the
Christians in European Turkey. Mace
donia is the ring of contention. The

without exposing himself to knife

pacif1ed under the shadow Of the Cres-

living patriotism.
But here Austria, as well as Eng
land and France and probably Russia
step in. Macedonia, they say, needs
an overlord. Do they propose to join
hands with the enemy Of civilization?
Do they insist that the Sultan's ster-
ilization of political, intellectual and
social life is nobler sway than Chris
tianity's progressive brotherhood?
Evidently not: since they have left to
the Balkan States their hard-won
right to dictate terms Of peace to the
