Another large donation, amount
ing to one million dollars, has
been placed at the disposal of the
Congregational Board for educa-
tional work in foreign lands, by
a donor whose name for the pres
ent is withheld. 1t is not an
unusual thing for wealthy non,
Catholics to give very large
amounts for the support of diff.
ferent kinds of work maintained
by their churches. Few, however
of our wealthy Catholics follow
their example. There are many
who could deal very generously
with the Catholic Church in the
way of financial assistance tc
enable her to carry on her mis-
sionary, educational and philan

they do it? That is the question

sovereign rODDeQ OF MS Kingdom WIFI
out a word of protest. He had that
fine quality of the truly great; the
courage to fight for a just, though
unpopular cause. When his king
George v, was driven from the throne,
Windthorst did not abandon him. It
was he who, in behalf of the royal
exile, negotiated with Bismarck a
treaty, which honor and justice should
have held sacred, but which the
Chancellor quickly ignored.
Windthorst was a master of cleo
toral tactics and parliamentary war
fare. Twice he had been called to a
seat in the Hanoverian cabinet. AS a
debator he was well nigh without a
peer; bold in attack, witty in repartee,
crushing in rebuttal. Brushing aside
all minor issues, yielding where prin-
ciple was not involved, he ever fought
for vital and fundamental truths. Like
Cato, he concluded his telling argu-
ments with vigorous: "Delenda est
Carthago"-Carthage must fall, and he
retreated only when the enemy laid
down his arms. Before popular
audience he was an ideal speaker,
with the gift of laughter and tears.
He had that quaint humor which
O'Connell and Lincoln had, and which
invariably moves the masses. He was
born leader and organizer. If today
the German Catholics are safeguarded
against the dangers of Socialism and
unbelief, 1t is owing to the strength
and influence of the teVolksverein,"
that formidable army of million men,
founded at his suggestion; it Is due
to his "Augustinusverein," which, by
it's countless Catholic dailies and
weeklies, reaches several millions of
readers, and supplies them with sound
principals and reliable information.
Under him the Center worked with
the precision OF a machine, IL trusted
the little man from Hanover absolute
ly, implicitly; he trusted In justice and
in God.
The May Laws and Their Repeal.
The fight began and Bismarck
attacked all along the line. All that
Catholics held dear was assailed by
him; their rights as men and citizens
were trampled on, their bishops cast
into prison, their religious exiled, their
priests hampered I'm the free admin
stration OF the Sacrament, their
preachers silenced, their schools
closed. The May Laws f1873) OF Falk
practically disfranchised every German
Catholic who would not apostatize.
For q while the MAN OF Blood and
Iron" triumphed, but Windthorst and
the Centre faced him at every turn.
Windthorst managed the attack and

Many surmises have been made
in regard to the object Of the
visit which Herr Keiderland
Wachter, the German Ambassador
for Foreign Affairs, paid to Cardi-
nal Merry del Val, the Papal
Secretary of State, during his
sojourn in Rome. The minister
drove to the Vatican in the car
riage of the German Ambassador
accredited to the Holy See and
remained with His Eminence for
nearly an hour. The Cardinal
afterwards repaid the visit at the
Embassy near the Porta Pia. II
is said that the Italian authorities
are very much annoyed at this
action on the part of the German
Minister for Foreign Affairs but
they dare not show their feelings
openly. The reasons for this con.
ference may have been many for
the Imperial Government is anx.
ious to maintain friendly relations
with the Holy See.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
WHY WE DRINK LESS.
Personal Ambition Has Cured the
American Man OF Bibulousness.

The American people are almost
cured of drunkenness. Notwithstand-
ing the breadth of this assertion. it
is a fact says the New York Mail.
A hundred years ago most Ameri-
cans were confirmed tipplers; and to
be sogged with drink at bedtime was
the privilege and practice of gentle
man.
Fifty years ago inebriety had taken
such hold upon the American people
that reformatory measures followed
one another in about this order: The
Washingtonians, Cough, Father Ma
thews, Reynolds, Murphy, the Sons of
Temperance, Good Templars. Knights
of Columbus, Temple of Honor and
White Ribbons, all commendable
means to wean people from family
wrecking, notwithstanding drunken
ness.
Today it is a positive disgrace to
get drunk, and serious handicap to
have name for tipping. This nation
al transformation has taken place in
practically the first century's history
of our people.
It is a remarkable result for which
] there is a remarkable and patent
cause. 1t must not be wholly attri-
buted to religion, education, social
dictum, moral sensibility, or any the
oretical arguments. The mania for
drink has been supplanted by more
mastering mania-personal ambition.
Ambition for achievement, position
and power brooks no handicap; so
Americans have made laws Of deport-
ment individually, and in cold-blooded
concern for self the problem that
neither prohibition nor moral suasion,
nor both, could solve has been adjust
ed in conserving regulation of per-
sonal lives, with no pretense to benefi-
cence or humanitarianism
This definite cause for diminution in
drinking as an American habit is not
popularity comprehended, nor conceded
as the primal reason why drinking is
less prevalent here than in other coun-
tries, but it is the real reason.
To prove it-had not ambition been
the stronger, the sodden practices of
the sideboard of hundred years ago,
and the debauching conviviality of
fifty years ago, would have triumphed.
That's the answer.

in the. Saviour's service, 50 it is
clearly their duty to maintain the
control and management Of all
their affairs i'm the hands Of those
who profess to love and publicly
VOW their faith in Jesus, the Re-
deemer, as Divine,
And who testify their faith by
becoming and remaining members
of churches held to be Evangelical
and that such persons and none
others should be allowed to vote
or hold office. !"
What we are to understand by
the term Evangelical is set forth
IN the Portland resolution of 1869,
"and we hold those churches to
be Evangelical which maintain the
Holy Scriptures to be the only
infallible rule Of faith and prac-
tice, etc., also in the same resolu-
ton "that the right to hold office
be conferred only upon young men
who are members in good standing
of Evangelical Churches. :" To put
the matter in an argumentative
form: Only those who become
and remain members of Evangel-
ical Churches which maintain that
Holy Writ is the only infallible
rule of faith, can vote or hold
office in the 7. M. G. A.; but the
Catholic Church does not maintain
that Holy Scripture is the sole in
fallible guide in faith and prac-
tice;
Therefore, the Catholic Church
is not Evangelical in the Y. M. c..
A. sense of the word; therefore
Catholics should not be allowed to
vote or hold office in the Y. M. c..
A.
In spite of this strict ruling Mr..
Towson tells us: IT can only re-
peat that we do have Roman Cath
olics on nearly all our standing
committees, many Of them serving
as chairman of such committees. F"
"While some Of the clergy are an
tagonistic,. the fact remains that
we have a very large number of
Roman Catholic MEMBERS" and
"there are more members of the
Roman Catholic Church in our
Railroad Association than all of
the other denominations put to-
| gether.''
How these Catholics manage to
"become and remain members of
the Evangelical Church and at the
same time are and remain Cath
olics is not clear.
! Be it as it may, there is no rea-
son for Catholics to become mem
bers Of the Y. M. G. A. The Church
of God has more effective means to
promote faith in Jesus Christ and
to safeguard virtue, for there is
more sap in the living trunk than
in the branch Topped off from the
parent stem. The Catholic Church
has led millions Of youths to the
sublimest heights Of sanctity long
ages before the Y. M. G. A. came
and she will clarion-like proclaim
J faith in Jesus Christ long after
, Y. M. G. A. has become a mean.

SAILING UNDER FALSE
COLORS.

The attempts made by the Y. M.
G. A. in different parts of the coun-
try to bolster up the assertions
made in regard to it's unsectarian
character are everywhere being
met and refuted by vigilant guar
dams of the Church IS interests.
The latest comes from New Or
leans, where a writer in the col
umns Of the Morning Star"
proves by reference to the reports
Of the national conventions Of the
association how unfounded are the
pleas of Observation-Disclosures put
forth by it's leaders who, by rea-
son Of their official positions, can
not be considered unfamiliar with
it's rules and regulations. He
writes: No sincere effort, whether
organized or single-handed, aim
ing at the amelioration Of the So
cial, political or religious condi-
ton of man, can fail to receive the
approval of that Church whose
very raison d'etre is the better
ment and happiness of mankind.
Disregarding the meagerness of
the results, the Catholic Church
gladly welcomes Protestant socie-
ties striving for better things.
Agreeably to this line Of policy
there could be no Catholic Obiec-
ton to the prominent Young
Men s Christian Association, if the
uplift of youth and the preserva-
ton Of faith in Christ be it's sole
purpose.
But the Protestant 7. M. G. A.
should not conceal it's Protestant
character. The Y. M. G. A. is a
purely Protestant organization.
The Catholic press of the coun-
try has clearly pointed out the fact
that the Y. M. C. A. discriminates
against Catholics by making them
ineligible for any Office in the or
ganization. While it may be sur
prising to find so many Catholics
still ignorant of this fact, it is
astonishing to meet with members
and even high officials of the asso-
citation disclaiming all knowledge
| of this obnoxious statute. Here are
some striking instances from a
1912 letter of Secretary Charles r.
Towson: 'sThere is absolutely no
discrimination against Roman
Catholics as to membership privil-
eyes. F" $50 far as / am aware
there has been no deliverance that
bars Roman Catholics from full
participation in its rights and
privileges. +" In the face of these
statements Mr.. Towson attaches a
leafet containing resolutions
adopted by International conven-
tions which preclude every shadow
of doubt as to the exclusively
Protestant character of the 7. M.
G.. A. and render problematical
either the sincerity or the per-
spicacity of Mr.. Towson.
The first resolution, that of De-
troit, 1868, reads as follows:
Resolved, that, as these organi-
cations bear the name of Christian
and profess to be engaged directly

ALcHoHoL AND BRAIN ACTION.

DR.. Kraepelin, of Heidelberg Uni
versity has made extensive expert
ments to determine the effect of alco-
hol upon brain action. He found that
while the simple, automatic actions of
the brain, such as reading aloud, were
at first quickened by a small dose of
alcohol, even these were rendered less
trustworthy and accurate. He also
found that processes involving no
more complex actions than adding fig
ures rapidly, or of performing problems
in mental arithmetic, were hindered by
even small doses of alcohol. The
result of these experiments came as
surprise to DR.. Kraepelin himself, who
had hitherto shared the popular belief
that small doses of alcohol quickened
the activity of his mind. But when he
came to measure his unerring instru-
ments the exact time occupied, he
found to his establishment that more
time was required to performs these
operations than when he did not use
the brain was acting more rapidly.
Similar experiments were tried upon
others, the same results being gained
in every instance. And, singularly
enough, each one felt, when under the
influence Of alcohol, that he was doing
better and more rapid work, though
the tabulated results showed the
reverse to be true. Such is ever the
delusive effect of alcohol; and the
delusion is as real as in those Incl
dents mentioned at the beginning Of
this article.
This effect is not peculiar to alco-
hol. "The ordinary anesthetics, used
in surgery, as chlorform and ether"
says Sir Victor Horsley, make the
patient feel that he possesses great
muscular strength, and feels himself
to be making powerful efforts, which
in reality are not in any way super
human"
A man for a time feels warmer in
winter after taking glass OF liquor;
but multiplicity of experiments have
proved that he only feels warmer, that
he is actually colder, and would sue
cumb to severe exposure more quickly
than If he had not taken alcohol. This
illusory feeling of warmth is no more
indicative of an increase of bodily
heat than is blushing. The alcohol
causes slight paralysis of the nerves
controlling the action of the blood
vessels of the body; and as result,
these dilate, and allow more blood
to come to the surface Of the body,
where it IL cooled. The feeling OF
warmth is due merely to the fact that
the skin lis made warmer by the
increased flow OF blood, and the
nerves OF the skin carry the sensation
of warmth to the brain. So we'll
known is the fact now that alcohol
lowers the temperature OF the body
that lumbermen, explorers, and others
who are exposed to extreme cold,
regard this narcotic as deadly foe.
Chloroform and ether produce like
effect In lowering bodily temperature.

SATURDAY, FEB. II, 1912.

During the holy season Of Lent,
the Church prohibits the solemn
zation of marriage, that is to say, a
marriage ceremony is not allowed
to take place with the usual ac-
compartment of joy and rejoicing.
This prohibition remains in force
from Ash Wednesday until the
first Sunday after Easter.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-02-17

Read the Lenten regulations
carefully. The observance Of them
means much for the spiritual well
fare Of each one. They should be
observed as vigorously as health
and occupation permit. Too many
find excuses, often trivial, to evade
this form of modification enjoined
by the Church.
