should have it and by every

Cut Bank, with its railway

large business interests, its
contiguous land that are
rapidly passing to patent and
becoming taxable, is contri-
buting a very large chunk of
revenue to the county ex-
chequer and has ever been
modest about asking for
public improvements for the
community. But we are not
going to be bashful about
this bridge matter. We want
it and want it right away, be-
cause we are going to push
our trade campaign into the

fore and we are not hiding
our plans in this respect.
And we want the good

to take up his matter and

The citizens of Cut Bank
and the residents of the big
reserve have especial reason
for felicitation over the re-
suit of the vote on the S10,-
600 bond issue. When the
advisability of this issue was
being discussed one of the
prime reasons urged for
bringing it before the voters
was the scarcity of public
money for the erection of
two or three large bridges in
Teton county-one of them
being the proposed bridge
over the Cut Bank river at
Cut Bank.
Now that the voters of
the county have placed the
fiat on this measure we ex-
pect to see the county COM
missioners take action with
out delay toward the con-
summation of this important
matter and the Pioneer Press
would like to see a healthy
sentiment crystalized here to
"keep their memory green
on this subject. The COM
merce between Cut Bank
and the fine dominion on the
south and west is naturally
growing greater all the time

CATHOLIC SANCTUARY
RESTORED IN SCOTLAND
Famous Monastery in Forfarshire Re.
gained by CathoIics-lts Inter-
esting History.

For the first time since 1860, when
the Monks were expelled, Restenneth
Priory, Forfarshire, Scotland, has
passed into Catholic hands. Miss
Charlotte Louisa Hawkins Dempster,
of Dunnichen, is a Catholic. She has
just succeeded to the estates of Dun
nichen, Restenneth and Auchterforfar,
and has fastened to address petition
to the Holy See to give consent to her
possession of the Church lands of
Restenneth and to remove all her dis
abilities.
The church and monastery, which
stand about a mile beyond the country
town of Forfar, form the oldest
ecclesiastical building in stone in
Scotland. Nechtan, King of the Picts,
having been baptized "at place called
Restenoth," wished to build church
to the glory of God. He sent to Monk
Wearmouth for the builders that he re-
quired and dedicated the church to St.
Peter. This happened about 720 A. D..
The remains of the kings own castle
are still to be traced in field near
Dunnichen called the Castle Park. The
barley waves above the dwelling of
the Christian king, but the priory,
much of which dates from a later
period, is still a striking ruin with a
fine stone tower Being a place OF
size and comparative comfort it used
to have many visitors, even royal ones.
King Robert the Bruce resided in it
more than once and when the patriot
king lost son under age the lad was
laid in the burying ground of the
mother church of this district.
Though the monks were expelled in
1860 the pile of buildings stood firm till
1745, when the Hanoverian regiments
of the Duke of Cumberland's army, on
their way down from Culloden, set fire
to Restenneth. Dangers and disabi1i-
ties were the portion for many long
the Catholic faith, but there is lady
living now whose great grandmother
baptism was performed about 1850 in
the font of the ruined church. The
child was brought there by night and
at some risk, and this incident shows
how deeply and for how long the
priory of Restenneth was revered in
Forfarshire. George Dempster, of
Dunnichen, who was for more than a
quarter of a century nj. P. for the
Perth Burghs, is buried in the priory.
He was patriotic man, the true
Scot" of Burns poem, and was the
friend of Fox and Burke, of Gains
borough and of Reynolds, of Boswell,
and of DR.. Johnson, Of Robert Owen
and of Howard, the reformer of prison

FASTING BEFORE COMMUNION
Is 1t Only of Pious Custom, or One
of the Laws of the Church?

"The six Commandments of the
Church do not contain any Injunction
that I must not break my fast before
receiving Holy Communion, and that
l should keep this fast from the prev
ious midnight" wrote a correspondent
to Father Hull, the editor Of the Bonn
bay Examiner "Ah 1 to presume that
this is only pious custom, but in no
sense obligatory? Anyhow, I do not

The Reply.
Here is the learned Jesuit's interest
ing reply:
There is an important Catholic prin
ciple which teaches that in matters
of faith, morals and discipline an ex
press official definition or decree OF
the authorities is not essential, but
merely convenient, in order to close
dispute. Originally the deposit OF
Christian truth was given to the Apos
ties by informal conversations, and
afterwards by the assistance and in
spiration of the Holy Ghost. This de
post was conveyed to the faithful by
word of mouth in the form of daily
teaching and instruction, and there
existed no written formula either OF
the creed or the code. Only on one
occasion in the New Testament do We

CARDINAL NEWMAN AND
The DYING WOMAN

At a time when the name of the
great Cardinal is on everybody's lips,
and in some quarters is mentioned not
too favorably, the following pathetic
incident will be of interest. 1t is to
be found in the Western Catholic
(AmericanJ, and u. P. K.," who re-
lates it, says: unlike some tales, this
is a true incident of the days of Mr.
Hope-Scott :. and was told to me
by Father Forbes, s. J., who was a
close friend of Mr.. Hope-Scott, and is
given here to point moraT-the
moral that God never forsakes those
who trust in Him. The scene of the
incident was Selkirk, near Abbotsford,
the great mansion built by Sir Walter
Scott, into possession of which Mr.
Hope came by marrying SCOTS
granddaughter. Scott had a daughter,
Charlotte, who married John Gibson
Lockhart, (Scott's biographer). Lock.
hart's daughter again married James
Hope, Q. c., the friend of Manning
and Gladstone, and one of the great
Oxford converts, who then took the
name Hope-Scott. Hope-Scott's daugh-
ter, who married one of the Max
wells of Herries, and took the name of
Maxwell-Scott, is the present proprie-
tress of Abbotsford, and is thus a
great-granddaughter of Sir Walter.
And now for the story:
Zone day Mr.. Hope-Scott was driv-
ing through the little town of Selkirk,
few miles distant from Abbotsford,
and with him was grave-looking gen.
tleman. AS the little dogcart was be-
ing taken up the steep hill which
leads into the town, the horse stopped
at close, and no amount of per-
suasion, or even more drastic meas
ures, would induce it to proceed. The
two gentlemen we're in desperation,
and as they stood helplessly by the
rebellious animal, a woman came hur-
riedly down the close DO either of
you gentlemen know where can get
Catholic priest?' she queried ex-
citedly.
'Mr. Hope-Scott looked at his COM
panion. You have one here he said,
with that sunny smile for which he
was noted.
Ellis companion at once proceeded
with the woman to a house in the
close, where he found a poor woman
dying, I knew would have a priest,
she said, because I had prayed every
day to God not to die without the Sa-
craments.'
Having heard her confession, the
stranger priest set out for Galashiels,
and returned in time to give the dying
Catholic the Viaticum. The woman
died shortly afterward, without know
ing that she had been prepared for
heaven by no less a person than Car
dinal Newman"

ages exist and would exist even II
they were never called Command
ments of the Church" and never print
ed in catechisms. We know that
they are obligatory simply from the
fact that they are asserted in every
book of theology and instruction, and
that the official Church knows this,
and therefore enthusiastically gives
force to 1t as law.
When we consider that the laws OF
good society, the things which every
gentleman Is bound to observe if he
wishes to be counted as a gentleman
at all, are all founded in the same
way on unwritten and unformulated
and universally-accepted customs, this
unformulated character of certain
Catholic obligations will not seem
strange or surprising. It Is the way
in which human nature works in gen.
eral; and the Church in this respect
follows the way of humanity so long
as it is sufficient to secure the desired
object. 1t is only when doctrinaI or
disciplinary obligation is questioned
that the official formulation of writ
ten law becomes necessary. Our prac-
teal test is this. Suppose, for in.
stance, somebody sent to Rome a
question whether fasting before Com.
munion was strict obligation, can
anybody doubt what the answer would
be? The answer would certainly be
1T is of strict obligation" Knowing
this, we have the common-sense to
take it an evident fact without de.
manding such an answer. We ought
to add that the existence of the law
is proved by the fact of the Holy See
sometimes giving dispensation from
it's observance.
The obligation of fasting before com
munion is therefore really command
ment of the Church, and might be add
ed to the others as seventh. 1t would
also be possible to multiply the list
ndefnitely-For instance: Not to
marry within forbidden degrees; not
to marry outside the Church; not to
be present at heretical services; not to
join forbidden secret societies.; not
to take part in political movements
against the temporal power; not to
read books placed on the Index; not
to take part in spiritulistic seances;
not to cremate the dead, etc. 1t just
happens that these points of Christian
duty have been scattered about over
the different parts of our textbooks
and catechisms, while certain other
points happen to have been left out
and grouped in heading by them.
selves as Commandments of the
Church" But the arrangement is
quite haphazard and practical, not
methodical or scientific.
