A STRONG ARGUMENT FOR TOTAL
ABSTINENCE

Whatever their differences in other
directions, social workers in Europe
seem to be agreed on one point.
namely, that one who is working to
save victims of the drink habit, must,
in order to be successful, be himself
total abstainer. Experience has
shown, says Life and Health" that
moderate drinker can not work with
advantage for the permanent uplift of
drink victims. Total abstinence is the
only safe ground for one who has been
drinker; and the only one who can
inspire in drinker the ambition to
be absolutely free from the habit is
one who is himself total abstainer.
The fact, conceded even by some who
favor the restriction as against the
abolition of the liquor traffic, is
strong argument in favor of total abb
stinence, on the principle stated by
Paul: Wherefore, il meat make my
brother to offend, will ear no flesh
while the world standeth, lest I make
my brother to offend" Ct Cor. 8:13)

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
A NATION WEAKENED BY
ALCOHOL.

In telling article in La Revue, of
Paris, Deputy Joseph Reinach calls
the public's attention to the national
danger of the great increase in alco-
holism. The chief cause which has
changed France from one of the
soberest to the most alcoholic coun-
tries in the world, he considers to be
the complete liberty in the sale of
spirits there.
While America, he points out, has
1 licensed house to every $50 inhabit-
ants, England 1 to 430, Sweden l to
5000, and Norway and Canada, 1 to
every 5000, France has l for every 81
inhabitants, or 1 to every rs to 80
adults.
To the appalling spread of alcohol
ism M. Reinach attributes the in
crease in the number of suicides,
which has almost trebled in the last
so years; madness, which in 30 years
has nearly doubled; and tuberculosis,
which now carries off 10000 victims
year.
The enormous extension in crime is
also proved, by the statistics of the
Ministry of Justice, to be principally
due to the drink curse. In 60 years
the nations consumption of alcohol is
said to have increased nearly 6 times,
the amount taxed, according to the
last statistics, being equivalent to
nearly 100000 hectoliters of brandy.
M. Reinach points out that France
is country in which alcohol is taxed
the least. While America imposes a
duty of $50 hectolitre and England
1913, the French excise claims only
$44.
He declares the most deadly enemy
of the drunkard to be abs1nthe of
which France consumes more than all
the rest of the world put together, and
he recalls that in 1903 the Academy of
Medicine unanimously voted for a
total suppression of all drinks COM
posed of alcohol and natural and arti-
fetal essences.
Where is this unanimity now?" he
asked in conclusion. "On one side are
the working classes-the backbone of
the nation. On the other the big dis
tillers and wine merchants, whose
chief interest is to multiply licensed
houses. On one side are those who
die from alcohol. On the other those
who live by it. A choice has to be
made. The principal cause of the alco-
holism which has ragged for the last
century is not the slackness of the
law in suppressing drunkenness, nor
the unrestricted sale of drink, nor the
invasion of absinthe; it is the fear of
the elector."

RE-ORDAINING ANGLICAN
CLERGYMEN.

A most extraordinary move
ment is taking place in Anglican
circles in England just now. ac-
cording to the London correspond
ent Of one Of our exchanges. It
is called the revival of the Corpo-
rate Reunion Order. The so-called
Archbishop Mathews, who was
once a Catholic priest, and re-
ceived his conservation as Bishop
from the Archbishop Of the Dutch
Old Catholics, is mixed up in it.
It is understood that the idea is to
ask and receive from this Arch
bishop Mathews conservation as
priests, not for young men who
have never been ordained, but for
those Anglican clergymen who
wish to be sure Of the validity of
Anglican Orders, and who accept
the decision of the Vatican that
they have no validity. It shows
extraordinary twists of the hui
man mind, this precious plan.
For if these clergymen in question
are convinced that Rome is right
and that they have no orders,
then why do they not some
straightforwardly to Rome, re-
nounce their errors and set aside
all doubts ON ordination by fol-
lowing the example of the six
convert clergymen who are now
on London missions, i. e., study
for the priesthood? It looks
rather as if the Old Catholic pri-
mate Of England as he calls him
self was seeking some means for
increasing his influence and giving
himself employment Anyhow
the Anglican Church is becoming
too complicated for the mere man
in the street. There is a Church
in London which is both Anglican
and old Catholic, and prints it's
notices in English, French and
German, and now they are going
in for doubly ordained clergy,
who yet have no orders at all.
Amusingly, too, there is already a
split in the old Catholic camp.
Bishop Marsh Edwards, another
Old Catholic, writes to the press,

Of THE APOSTLES
Many of Them Contained in the
BasIica Of the Twelve Apostles.

The Basilica of the Twelve Apostles,
the second half of the sixth century,
under the pontificate of Pelagius.
Some years after Constantine, Pope
Julius I erected in this locality a
basilica in honor of the Twelve Apos-
ties, but on the occasion of the trans
Apostles Philip and James the Less
the Church was rebuilt in the form of
Greek cross in imitation of the cele-
brated Apostolicon of Constantinople.
The church has been restored many
times and has lost almost all traces
of it's ancient character. During the
last restoration, which took place in
1873, the ancient altar containing the
bones of the Apostles Philip and
James was discovered under the high
altar This altar was in shape like a
small square cell with an opening
through which cloths were passed to
touch the bones of the Saints. In the
lowest cavity was found silver urn
containing the relics Of the Apostles.
The basilica, first consecrated of
John III, successor of Pelagius, was
reconstructed in it's present form I'M
der Clement XI and re-consecrated by
Benedict XIV in 1924. The portico
contains several monuments and in
scriptions from the middle ages.
The Church is in three naves di-
vided by pilasters; behind the high
altar is large picture by Muratori
representing the martyrdom of the
Apostles Philip and James. The monu-
ment of Clement XIV over the door of
the sacristy is by Canova. The crypt
containing the altar with the relics of
the Apostles may be visited. Here
may be seen the remains of the prim-
tive basilica as well as the numerous
relics which the sanctuary possesses.
The basi1ica is served by the Minor
Conventuals.

SATURDAY, AUGUST II, 1912.

The second session of the Sum-
mer School for Teaching Sisters
conducted under the auspices of
the Catholic University Of Amer
lea closed on August 9, after a
term of six weeks. It was more
of a success than last years in
attendance and enthusiasm on the
part Of pupils and teachers, as well
as in the character of the work
done. More than three hundred
and fifty members Of the different
teaching Sisterhoods in America
were enrolled and the regular pro-
fessors of the University con-
Quoted the different courses. The
benefits to be derived from such
a course are becoming more ap-
parent. It will bring about a
much-needed coordination Of
methods in school work and a
sense Of solidarity among the
Teaching Orders that will re-
dound to the benefit of Catholic
education.

A PHYSICIAN AND A FATHER
MATHEW MAN,

DIR. Gibbon, a physician of San Fran
cisco, is one of those veteran total alb
stainers who took the pledge from
Father Mathew. He writes in an ex-
change:
I'm 1847 the sanity Father Mathew
was administering the temperance
pledge to thousands of people in Ire
land. He was announced to be in
Groom Chapel, County Limerick, on
Sunday in August, four miles from
where was born, and three across
the country as the crow flies. I was
then nine years old. No one asked me
to go; it must have been my Guardian
Angel that prompted me to go, and
went the short cut The chapel would
hold about five hundred; it was sur
rounded by an open space. There
must have been four or five thousand
there. The windows and doors were
all open SO that all could hear. Father
Mathew said the Mass; when it was
over he removed the vestments and
preached sermon on temperance At
the end of it he requested all to kneel
down and repeat the pledge he gave
out. /, among thousands of others,
did so.
IT neither smoke nor chew tobacco
nor drink nor swear; and never did
nor intend to. I have practised medi-
cine in California over fifty years, and
l am glad to say i never prescribed
liquor for patient yet. Alcohol is not
a stimulant, but a narcotic. II 1 were

physicians in town would order alcohol
of any kind, I would answer no. /

The August intention of the
League Of the Sacred Heart is
"Catholic Emigrants.' Year
after year large numbers Of Cath
olics leave their European homes
for other parts Of the world.
Nearly four hundred thousand of
them come to the United States
and their spiritual welfare should
be a matter Of deepest concern
to their fellow Catholics. These
emigrants are brought face to
face with new conditions and are
beset by new dangers in their
adopted home and it behooves us
to pray, at least, that the faith
which they professed in their
native land may be able to with,
stand the enervating influences OF
unusual surroundings in this
country. The children of these
emigrants should be special objects
of our. solicitude and wherever
possible provision should be made
for the incubation of Catholic
truth. Upon the catechetical in
struction which they receive will
depend their future usefulness as
members Of the Church. The ap.
peal Of the League for a special
memento on behalf of these new.
corners should meet with ready
response from all who are inter.
ested in the future growth and
progress of the Church.

A HISTORIC CATHEDRAL.

The Norwegians of Minnesota
as well as their fellow country
men throughout the United States
have undertaken to raise a fund of
one million dollars by 1914, the
one hundredth anniversary Of the
independence Of Norway, to be
devoted largely to the restoration
of the historic cathedral Of Trond-
jhem. This cathedral is the finest
building in Norway. Tt was erect
ed by the Catholics Of that coun-
try at a time when Catholicity
was the prevailing religion. Tt
contains the bones Of st. Olaf, the
patron Saint of Norway. It was
converted into Protestant church
at the time Of the Reformation
when Catholicism was prescribed
and when the possessions Of the
Church were confscated by the
crown and given to its retainers.
The story of this venerable ca
thedral is not unlike that of many
another in European countries
where the Reformation took root
and Professionalism became the
dominant religion. It's restora-
ton, if carried out in detail, will
recall to the minds of Norwegians
at home and abroad the glories of
other days when their ancestors
knelt in lowly alteration before the
Eucharistic Lord Whose presence
in the tabernacle inspired the
builders Of that majestic cathe-
dral. And it may be, under God,
means Of making them look with
kindlier eye upon their country
men who have embraced the faith
of their forefathers, as well as a
foreshadowing Of the day when
the memory Of ST. Olaf will be
observed in Norway as it was in
Catholic times.

It is worthy Of note, says the
Catholic News, that while a num-
Der Of Protestant churches in
New York have been sold to He
brews and converted into Syna-
gogues, and several Protestant
churches have been sold for large
profits and the congregations
have erected new churches in
other and distant sections Of the
city, not a Catholic church has
been abandoned nor has any Sec
ton that did have a Catholic
church been left without one.
It is the same story everywhere.
Seldom is a Catholic church aban-
doned save to make room for a
larger and more imposing struc-
ture to meet the needs Of the
growing Catholic population. New
parishes are being opened each
year and, were it not for the
dearth of priests in many dioceses,
the growth Of new parishes would
be even more rapid than it is. 1t
is a good sign Of a vigorous relig-
ious progress.

America, which has the approval
of the Hierarchy by liberal finan-
cial support as subscribers. No
force in our country today is
more potent for good and the up
lift Of humanity, is doing more
for the spread Of solid and sub
stantial Catholic information,
aside from the clergy, than this
auxiliary arm of the Church mill
tant; and no class of men is max
ing greater sacrifice in establish
ing on a firm basis, a press that
will be a credit to Holy Mother
Church, than the men who are Civ
ing the best that is in them to
this great work. It is therefore
fitting that we should give them
our encouragement, sympathy,
and support. We recommend to
our members the hearty support
Of the great Catholic Press of this
country
1t needed no prophetic vision
to foresee that a resolution along
these lines would be spread upon
the convention records. It is part
of the usual procedure of Catholic
conventions. Year after year
resolutions Of this tenure are
adopted as a matter of form.
They look we'll in print; but how
many Of the delegates or Of those
whom they represent ever recall
them to mind after the conven-
ton?
The Catholic press needs some
thing more than the empty husks
Of convention resolutions to make
it self-sustaining. Practical sup
port in the way Of subscriptions
and advertising is required; and
not infrequently those who are
foremost in paying this, formal
tribute to the Catholic newspaper
are last in line when practical
cooperation is needed instead OF
fine words. But it may be that
the members Of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians will set a new
standard for Catholic societies in
this regard. There is a splendid
opportunity for some organization
to be a pioneer in the way of ten
dering practical support to the
Catholic newspaper instead OF
high-sounding resolutions, not
worth the paper on which they
are written. Will the Ancient
Order Of Hibernians take the
lead? If it does, and other Cath.
Ollie societies fall in line, the Gus.
tomary formality of resolving tc
aid the Catholic press can be dis,
pensed with hereafter.

CATHOLIC LAND; CATHOLIC
SKY; CATHOLIC ATMOS-
Pierre.

The following editorial from the
pen of Father Phelan, which ap-
peared in last weeks issue of the
Western Waterman" should be
read and pondered over by our
Catholic people in every walk Of
life. 1t emphasizes the true view
of Catholic education and brings
into bold relief the real raison
d'etre Of CATHOLIC schools.
"Why are we so solicitous for
Catholic education? It is very
costly, and the results are not al
ways commensurate with the time,
money and energy expended. But
why is it failure only spurs us on
to greater effort? Why is it that
with the most liberal public school
system in the world we still
clamor for more Catholic schools
For the sake of Catholics the
American people have absolutely
secularized their public school
system, banishing prayers, preach
ers and Bible from the class room ;
yet we will not accept the relig-
iously sterilized education offered
us, and we redouble our efforts to
give the opportunity of a Catholic
education to every Catholic child
in the land Why this seeming in
consistency?
eve are living in a Protestant
country. We are living under a
Protestant government. We are
surrounded by Protestants. That
is a great misfortune. Religion is
a delicate plant. The soil of the
United States is not adapted to its
growth. We have only religious
weeds, and they are rank. The
laws of a people are the external
expression Of their life. Our laws
are hostile to Catholic ideas and
do not respond to the needs of the
Catholic soul. The man is the
composite of the elements of the
society in which he lives. Our So
ciety is british in all it's aims and
manners. 1t is as hard to raise a
good Catholic in the United States
as it would be to cultivate cactus
plant in Siberia.
"We must save our Catholicity
We must safeguard religion. We
must save our Catholic youth.
Therefore we build Catholic
schools. There is church in
Rome where they maintain a little
graveyard, twenty by twelve,
filed to the depth of five feet with
clay from the Holy Land. 1t is
considered the highest privilege to
be inferred in that sacred soil

THE CATHOLIC BULLETIN, AUGUST II, 1912

Immigrants of this country try to
settle in colonies where they can
continue the social and religious
life of their native land. They
cling to their language and Gus
toms and give them up reluctantly.
Catholic education combines all
these conservative agencies, and
endeavors to give to the child born
in the United States the earth and
sky and atmosphere of a Catholic
land. There is for the Catholic
child in the Catholic school
glimpse, a taste, a touch of real
Catholic life, such as his parents
knew it in their youth. 1t is the
grandest earthly and heavenly
blessing they can bequeath them.
The rising generation Of American
Catholics enjoy to the full the
advantages of Catholic life and So
ciety during the happy days spent
in a Catholic school. Inside the
threshold Of an American Catholic
school the boys and girls born in
this country enjoy to the full the
ample Catholic life accorded the
children Of the faith in the most
favored Catholic lands. For three,
four or more years they are in a
Catholic environment and breathe
the free, fresh air of Catholic life.
The vigorous growth acquired in
that time will enable them to with
stand all the adverse influence Of
after social life. We want a virile
Catholic manhood, a strong and
unsullied Catholic womanhood.
And to insure both we give them
the advantages during the years
of their development of a Catholic
soil, a Catholic empyrean; pure
Catholic atmosphere. For this we
are willing to spend and be spent
cit is not for the little arith-
metic or geography or grammar
we give them that we support our
separate schools. These things can
be taught in the public schools and
are worth very little when learned.
The thing known as grammar
school education is becoming
known to all as very costly piece
Of ignorant extravaganza. What
is known as lteracy is the veriest
sham.
"What we want for our Catholic
boys is few years Of happy, in
nocent association with other
Catholic boys. What we want for
our Catholic girls is a part Of their
youth spent in the pure atmos-
phere Of Catholic girlhood. What
we want for Catholic boys and
Catholic girls is a few years.
familiar and trustful intercourse
with Catholic teachers and Catho-
lie priests, that the foundations Of
true Catholic life may be solidly
laid and the first story of the great
edifice Of Catholicity may be com
pleted before the builders on the
walls are changed. A Catholic
school is a section Of Catholic life
and economy, and we want it pre-
served for all our children. There
fore, up with the parochial
schools. Multiply our teaching
orders. Make Catholic education
more and more Catholic; and we
can look the future confidently in
the face.'
