THE AMERICAN BIBLE
SOCIETY.

The American Bible Society has
lost none of it's wonted activity in
distributing Protestant copies
of the Old and New Testaments.
Not long ago it shipped to South
America seven tons of Bibles
printed for the most part in the
Spanish and Portuguese tongues,
with some in Indian and other
dialects. 1t has translated the
New Testament for the 100000
Quechua Indians Of Peru and b.
livia and prints it in Argentina.
According to reports, "tremen-
dous progress has been made in
Bible translation for the people of
the Philippines In Iloilo the
American Baptists have a printing
press equipped to turn out Bibles
for the natives.
The opening of the Panama
Canal is expected to give a great
impetus to the work of the Ameri-
can Bible Society. It's agents are
already at work in Panama and
the Canal Zone and preparations
are being made to distribute Bibles
to the sailors who will pass through
the canal after it is opened to traf-
fic The Society also plans to send
large shipments of Bibles through
the canal to the western coast of
South America.
With unlimited funds at its dis
posal, it is a comparatively easy
task for the American Bible So
ciety to provide Bibles for the
natives of South America and the
Philippine Islands, as well as for
the people of China, Japan and
other eastern lands. But the mere
distribution of Bibles does not
insure the acceptance Of Protes-
tant Christianity. The Spanish
and Portuguese inhabitants of

..como monohars of tho Order

"Some members Of the Order
also promise to watch over the OBJ
servance Of Poverty, to refuse all
ecclesiastical dignities, to teach if
so hidden the lowest classes in
schools, and to accept without
remonstrance the most arduous
missions in any part of the world
for the purpose of teaching the
Gospel of Christ. These vows, or
"oaths,' are not secret. They are
part Of the Constitution of the
Society Of Jesus, which may be
found in any public library
We hope that our readers, some
of whom have had difficulty in
convincing their non-Catholic
friends that the so-called Jesuit
Oath is not genuine, will preserve
for future reference this reply Of
the editor Of america" It may
be taken for granted that there is
nothing in the ordination rite Of
Catholic priests to which the
Church is not willing to give the
widest publicity. In fact, a liter
al translation of the Latin in which
it is couched can be had at any
Catholic book store, and those
who wish to know the nature of
the "oath" which a priest takes
on the day of his ordination can
very easily satisfy themselves if
they are but willing to accept the
truth.

DUE TO DRINK.

The places of judicature | have long
held in this kingdom have given me
an opportunity to observe the original
cause of most of the enormities that
have been committed for the space of
nearly twenty years; and by due OBJ
servation / have found that if the
murders and manslaughters, the burg
laries and robberies, the riots and
tumults and other enormities that
have happened in that time were di-
vided into five parts, four of them
have been the issue and product of
excessive drinking-of tavern and ale

It is reported that Robert G..
Valentine, Indian Commissioner,
is to be retired from office for the
good of the service. Catholics, at
least, will not regret his departure.
The term Of his usefulness as In
dian Commissioner ended when he
issued his anti-garb ruling by
which he sought to force the Sis
tiers out of the Government Indian
Schools. By this act he over
stepped the limits Of his authority
and showed his anti Catholic ami
mus. Such a man should not be
retained in the service of the
United States Government no mat
ter what his qualifications for the
position may be.

THE ECONOMIC APPEAL.

When the economic side Of the sa-
loon is aired, says the Nashville Ten
nesseean, and the public sees what
drain it is on the public purse, there
is far less tendence to clamor for the
taxes paid by saloonkeepers. 1t
doesn't take the merchant long to dis
cover that the license fee paid by the
saloonist is taken out OF his till.
Money which should go for bread and
meat goes for beer. Saloons would
soon go out of business if only the
men who can afford to drink lined
up at the bars. The saloon lives on
the nickels and dimes it extracts from
the breadwinners in humble fami-
lies.

Him for the gift of supreme peace

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION.

In the liturgy of the Church the
fifteenth of August is set apart as
a day of special devotion in honor
of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It
commentaries her happy depar-
ture from this vale Of tears and
the assumption of her chaste body
into heaven. 1t marks the close
of her earthly career and the be-
ginning of her true life in the
kingdom Of her divine Son.
The Assumption Of the Blessed
Virgin Mary into heaven is the
complement of her Immaculate
Conception. 1t was fitting, indeed,
that the body from which the
nly-begotten Son of God derived
His sacred humanity should not be
subjected to the ravages of ode
Gays effacing finger; that the
pure flesh which gave Of it's sub
stance that the Word might be-
come incarnate, should not see cor
ruption. To such a special mark
of Gods love, her human nature,
| of itself, could lay no claim; but
He Who conferred on her the
unique boon of immaculate purity
was pleased to crown His gift
with this special wreath of bodily
interruption in order that He
might testify to the world how
precious in His sight was that
humble maiden of Judea whom
the poet so appropriately calls
'Four tainted natures solitary
boast"
The time, place and manner of
the Blessed Virgin s death are un-
known. At the foot Of the cross
St. John, the virgin Apostle, re-
ceived her from the dying Saviour
and thenceforth, as the Scripture
says, he "took her to his own
Some say she died at Ephesus
where the beloved disciple resided
after the death of the Saviour.
But the common tradition of the
Church is that she died in Jeru-
salem where, in the seventh GEN.
fury, her empty tomb was pointed
out to pilgrims.
This uncertainty regarding the
time, place and manner of her
death involves no uncertainty as
to the fact that she did die.
Though sinless, she, like her
divine Son, paid the penalty due
to sin, the common debt of human
ity. When the time Of her earthly
pilgrimage drew to close she was
not called to her eternal reward
without passing through the
portals of death. But the tomb
was not to enshrine her mortal
dust. A tradition which it were
impious to call in question says
that, after death, her body was
reunited to her soul and assumed
into heaven where, by the hand of
her divine Son, she was crowned
queen Of angels and of men. 1t
is true that in the liturgical pray
ers Of the Church on the feast
itself there is no distinct assertion
of her corporal assumption into
heaven, but that does not justify
one in questioning it's truth. The
voice Of ages has proclaimed this
eliminating glory Of the Virgin s
earthly career; and while it is
not an article of faith it would be
very rash for Catholic to doubt
or deny the traditional teaching
Of the Church on this point.
