Among many farmers the time-hor-

because so many of the best pure
bred hogs in the country are fed their
corn in this manner.
The question of the most ecoRor'.
icsl method Of feeding corn to hogs
has been very carefully studied b.

fastest and most profitable gains we're
secured by feeding dry ear corn until
the hogs were close to 500 pounIs in

AN OFFICIAL PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH.

President-elect Wilson and Vice
President-elect Marshall are
prominent members of the Pres
byterian church. In fact each is
an Elder in his own congregation.
Their election to the highest
executive positions in the gift
of the people has led to a scram-
BILE among the Presbyterian
churches in Washington as to
which will have the honor of
counting them among it's wor-
shippers. Each Presbyterian
church in the National Capital
would like to have the honor of
being the official church during
the coming administration and has
invited the chief executive to afili-
ate with it.
We are told in dispatch from
Washington that eff either the
President-elect or the next Vice
President has replied the fact has
not been made public. - This is
commendable on their part. What
church they may elect to attend
is purely private matter and the
Presbyterian churches in Wash
ington should be above striving to
make capital out Of the presence
Of the Chief Executive among
their worshippers.
In this connection it is not I'M
interesting to learn that Presi-
dent-elect Wilson is a "praying
man." During his residence at
Princeton University he took
part in the religious exercises
and was not ashamed to be
seen on his knees or to have it
known that he was a praying
man. No doubt he will carry his
religious convictions and pious
practices into the White House
and be faithful in attendance at
the church Of his choice

MARY IMMACULATE.

Next Sunday is the Feast of the
Immaculate Conception Of the
Blessed Virgin Mary who, under
this title, is the special patroness
of the Catholic Church in the
United States. For this reason,
therefore, it ought to be a day of
special devotion for all who enjoy
her august protection.
The Feast of the Immaculate
Conception recalls the most glori-
GUS prerogative which the Blessed
Virgin enjoys by virtue Of the
transcendent dignity of Divine
Motherhood with which she was
invested when 'the power Of the
Most High overshadowed her. "
This inestimable gift Of immacu-
late purity places her upon a
pedestal apart from all others as
the model whose chastity without
stain is the most precious jewel
that can be enshrined in the Chris
tan heart.
Those who strive to initiate her
purity of life are strengthened by
her all-powerful intercession in
their endeavors to preserve that
cleanness Of heart which the
Saviour Himself commends as a
passport to the Beatifc Vision.

pretext, to throw down the guage
of battle.
When the United States took
possession of the Islands in 1898,
it found them in state bordering
on anarchy. The American occu-
patton has brought about internal
peace by establishing central au-
thority capable of coping with the
difficulties of the situation. As a
result, conditions in the Islands
have improved immensely. A
wholesome respect for civil au-
thority has been engendered, and
the Church, under the direc-
ton Of her American Bishops, is
beginning to recover from the
changes brought about by the
withdrawal Of the Friars.
Under these conditions the Fill
pinos are being trained for self
government. They enjoy large
measure Of the civil and religious
liberty guaranteed to American
citizens. They are becoming ac-
customed to our ideas Of civiliza-
ton and are gradually assuming
a more important share in the
management of their own affairs.
It is evident that they are lay
ing the foundation for future in
dependence. But just at present
they are not prepared for it. To
grant it at this time would be to
stem the tide of material and re-
ligious prosperity that has set in,
and pave the way for internal
strife and revolution as is the
case in the Central American Re-
publics where independence seems
to mean nothing more than
the right to revolt against the
established order of affairs. The
people of Central America are just
as fully qualified for self-govern-
ment as the Filipinos are, and yet
they are unable to maintain peace
within their borders.
IL independence were granted
to the Filipinos in the present
stage of national development, it
would be nothing short Of a cal
amity. It would bring about an
archy and revolution and pave
the way for China, Japan, or some
other nation to secure possession
of this important archipelago. AS
it is at present there is feeling
of security in the Islands that
augurs well for the future. The
Filipino is being trained for indie
pendence but he is not yet ready
to profit by the boon. Those who
would force it upon him, in view
of present conditions and pros
poets, would do him an almost
irreparable injury.

less of the operate chant of the
theatrical stage. The atmosphere
of the theatre thus intrudes itself
into the sacred ceremony, and the
attention Of the congregation is
distracted from the primary pur-
pose for which they have come to-
gether.
Despite this prohibition forbid
ding theatrical singers from adj
joining themselves to Catholic
choirs, it happens from time to
time that they are allowed to take
part in the services of the church.
This is usually the fault of the
choirmaster who, without the
knowledge Of the pastor, takes it
upon himself to invite theatrical
singers to his choir. Pastors
should see to it that their choir
directors take no such liberties.
They should have an explicit I'M
derstanding with them in this re-
gard; and failure to live up to this
diocesan regulation should entail
serious consequences. The ruling
is absolute: no exceptions are al
lowed, no matter how good the
motive or how exemplary the life
of the singer may be. Of course,
the prohibition takes on added
force and meaning whenever there
is question Of admitting to the
choir a professional singer whose
life is not above reproach.
In this connection it may not
be amiss to add that Catholics
should be on their guard lest, by
patronizing theatrical singers
whose character will not stand the
test of the closest. scrutiny, they
compromise the Church and re-
ligion. These singers like to sing
under Catholic auspices because
thereby the seal Of the Church s
approval is, apparently, set upon
them. The Individual Catholic
may see no harm in patronizing
such performances; but no matter
what ones personal opinion may
be in regard to the merits or de-
merits Of a professional singer
that is a matter between one s
conscience and his God-Catholics
should remember that their ac-
lions often entail serious conse-
quences for the Church and re-
ligion, and hence they should be
very slow to do anything that will
compromise either in the slightest
degree.
