SUNDAY DISSERTATION.

The widespread dissertation of
the Lords Day, at the present
time, has attained to such proper
tions as to enlist the attention
of all right minded people, both
In Europe and America. The con-
tinuous whirl of amusement on
Sunday, together with the scarcely
interrupted rush of labor, makes
it appear that vast number of
people have forgotten that one
day of the seven is claimed by the
Almighty as His own, to be conse-
Grated to His honor and worship.
The relentless grind of the wheels
of modern industry on the one
hand, and the Unsuitable demand
for pleasure on the other, bid fair,
says the Northwest Progress, to
efface from the minds of men,
especially from those of the rising
generation, the obligation con-
tanned in the third commandment
Of the Decalogue: Remember
thou keep holy the Sabbath day, !"
which has the same binding force
today as when it was given to
Moses amid the thunders and
lightnings of Mount Sinai. The
law of rest and religious worship
is broken by the pleasure seeker
and the worker with the utmost
unconcern, and yet none of the
other commandments carries with
it so solemn an injunction as does
this one Remember, it says, as
though to add q special signific-
ance to this precept above the
others. An infraction of the Sab
bathical rest was visited under the
Mosaic law by the severest penal
ties, but under the Christian dis
pensation its seventies have been
greatly relaxed, except by the
Calvinistic sect which followed
the Jewish law IN its rigid observ-
ance.

AN EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS

With this issue The Catholic
Bulletin enters upon a new jour
nalistic year with brighter hopes,
a wider horizon and a stronger
determination to make good "
than ever before.
AS an evidence Of this it makes
it's first appearance as a seven
column paper: The change was
rendered necessary on account of
the demands made upon it's space
by advertisers who have learned
it's value as medium for placing
before the Catholic population of
the Northwest their different lines
Of business. Then, too, more
room was needed for general news
and articles of interest.
We hope that our readers will
appreciate these efforts to give
them a Catholic weekly newspaper
second to none in the country.
With their cooperation we aspire
to surpass the very gratifying rec
ord of progress made during the
past year. They can help the
cause of Catholic truth not only
by inducing their friends to sub
scribe for The Catholic Bulletin,
but by patronizing those who adj
vertise In it.
To commemorate the second an
niversary of The Catholic Bulletin
our friends among the business
men of the Twin Cities have en-
abled us to offer a supplement to
this issue in which the attention
of the public is called to what
they have to offer In their respec-
tive lines of business. If our
friends patronize them as well as
our regular advertisers it will help
to place this paper on a high
plane as an advertising, medium
that gets results. Give our adver-
tisers the preference whenever
you can do so, and let them know
that you saw their advertisement
In The Catholic Bulletin. 1t will
be mutually beneficial.
We thank all who have contrib
uted to the success of the past and
we bespeak a continuance of their
esteemed support.

DISREGARD FOR HUMAN
LIFE.

During the past few months an
unusually large number of people
have been killed or manned in the
Twin Cities as the result of reck-
lessness on the part of automobile
drivers. 1t is a wonder that more
people have not fallen victims to
the speed mania which seems to
possess these drivers who, in open
defiance of the law, place the lives
of their fellowmen In jeopardy by
ignoring the speed limit set by the
statute as well as the rules of the
road.
1t is about time to put stop
to this insane desire to put on
speed. Pedestrians and those who
make use Of the older and slower
methods of transportation have
rights which automobiles should
be taught to respect. If the laws
regulating the speed of motor
vehicles of all kinds are sufficient

SERMONS FOR JANUARY.

According to the prescriptions
of the recent letter of the Most
Reverend Archbishop the follow.
ing subjects are assigned for ser.
mons in the churches of the Arch.
diocese of St. Paul on three Sun.
days of this month:
/. Supernatural Revelation.
(a) The meaning Of revelation
The difference between knowl-
edge received through revelation
and that received through human
reason, between the supernatural
and the natural.
(b) The right Of God, if He
so elects, to give forth a super
natural revelation.
(c) The blessing to men of a
supernatural revelation, taught
drought it, as they are, by God
Himself.
II. "Faith, the Adhesion Of the
Intellect to the Teachings
of Revelation. "
(a) The meaning of faith.
Human faith, belief in the word
Of man; divine faith, belief in the
word Of God.
(b) Faith, the acceptance of
divine revelation, once the revela-
ton is duly authenticated, is no
disparagement to human reason.
Opposition to faith on the part of
reason is most irrational, besides
being a rebellion against God s
authority and veracity.
(c) The solemn duty of faith
of intellectual submission to the
revelation made by God, once
proven to have been made by Him.
The refusal Of faith, an open re-
bellion against Gods majesty and
authority.
III. "The Need of Supernat-
ural Revelation: It's Bles-
sings to Men,
(a) The teachings of reason,
while duly establishing vital
truths, such as the existence of
God, the supremacy in the moral
order of God as legislator, the
Immortality Of the human soul,
etc., ETC., are limited in extent and
in efficacy, and call for further
illumination through revelation.
(b) In a particular manner is
a revelation needed to enlighten
us as to our more intimate rela-
lions with God-His fatherly love,
His mercy when we have trans
crossed.
(c) The absolute need of a
supernatural revelation, should
God have raised man to super
natural end, to be gained through
supernatural means-as later we
learn from the teachings of the
Christian religion.

At the beginning of the year it
would be well if the subscribers
to Catholic newspapers and per-
iodicals would make resolution
to help the Catholic press by Sc
curing at least one new subscriber
for their favorite paper. This is
not asking too much of them.
They are expected to show a per-
sonal interest in the spread of
sound Catholic literature by help
ing to extend the circulation of
Catholic newspapers. If each one
would add but a single subscriber
it would double the circulation of
each paper and render its work
for religion more effective. Have
you thought about it? If not,
think and act quickly. 1t is the
best testimony of appreciation you
can give to the paper or papers
in which you are interested.

SERMON OF THE MOST REVEREND
ARCHBI SHOP.
A Religion Without Doqmas.

Those there are who dare not alto
gether blot from their title-roll the
name of Christian, who feel they
must in some manner bow on Christ
mas Day to the crib of Bethlehem,
who, however, bid the Christian re-
themselves have chosen. Let it be an
uprising of the soul, sentiment, an
emotion towards a better living. But
away with dogmas and doctrines: the
world has outgrown dogmas and with
the world around we must keep pace.
An insult to their own reason, no less
than an insult to the authority of the
Saviour, language of this kind. What
is religion without its dogmas and
doctrines? To be at all admissible, a
religion must define itself, declare it's
principles, its methods of acting, it's
conditions of service: and this is
dogma, doctrine. Does the nation ex-
list without its constitution, without its
principles of government-in other
words, without its dogmas, its doc
trines? Man is not a mere sentient
being, ruled merely by impulse and
emotion. The intellect must first
have spoken before the will moves:
and the voice of the intellect is argu-
ment and principle dogma and doc
trine. Jesus entered the world to
draw men towards Him: must He not
tell us who He is, what His purposes?
Must He not propose to US the goal
towards which He would have us

Sabbath and the gloom of the
Puritan Sunday has nearly
touched the opposite extreme of
making the day one of ordinary
labor or unlimited license. The
Catholic Church, as the authorized
interpreter of the Divine Will, has
always allowed her children the
largest liberty compatible with the
laws OF God, and in imitation of
her Divine Founder she regards
the Sabbath as made for man,
and not man for the Sabbath. y
! Consequently, she has never de-
barred innocent recreation, or
works of absolute necessity, after
due attendance at divine worship.
But not few Catholics, caught
up by the irreligious spirit of the
day, transgress even these mild
bounds, and think it a matter of
no moment to give the entire day
to work that might easily have
been avoided, or to pleasure-seek-
ing that takes little or no cogniz-
ance of God or His service. Even
Catholic employers are not seldom
found who require their employees
to work during the hours when
they should be attending church,
thus depriving them of the spir-
itual uplift and also the bodily
rest necessary for their welfare.
1t is a startling thought that in
this so-called christian nation
there are sixty millions Of people
to whom the third commandment
is dead letter, and Sunday, at
best, but a day of recreation or Of
rest from toll. While Catholics
are not bound by the stringent
regulations of the Hebrew or Pur-
itanicaI Sabbath, there is a strict
obligation to sanctify the day
from which they cannot lightly
excuse themselves. The trend of
the times is In the direction of
unlimited license, and away from
God and the wholesome restraints
Of religion. The American public
has been aptIy termed SEamuse-
ment mad and therefore, what
ever tends to encourage and
strengthen this too prevalent ten
dency, and to- cause people to for
get the purpose CT the Lord s Day,
whether this be the theatre, the
fraternity picnic, the athletic field,
hunting, rowing, automobiling, Or
other forms of amusement or
labor, is open to very serious OBJ
lection.
Catholics, approaching the aim
of our Holy Fathers pontifcate,
"To renew all things in Chris"
ought to aid powerfully in bring
ing about a change in those I'M
Christian conditions and restoring
the true spirit of the Lords Day.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-01-04

to'put stop to the speed nuisance
the penalty ought to be strictly
and impartially enforced in every
case. The aristocrat of wealth or
position ought to be dealt with
just as severely as his less
prominent brother. There should
be no favors shown in the enforce
ment of these laws. If the laws do
not provide sufficient penalty to
deter chauffeurs from endanger-
ing the lives of those who use the
public thoroughfares, more strin-
gent enactments ought to be
passed, and policemen and magis-
trates should be empowered to
deal with offenders in such way
as to abate the evil.
In this connection it is not un-
interesting to note that the courts
of British Columbia have decided
that in future all persons killed
by the carelessness of automobile
drivers shall have their families
supported. if they require it, by
those responsible for the accident.
This obligation will be imposed
hereafter as part of the criminal
penalty. Already two chauffeurs
have been sentenced to support
the families of men for whose
death they were criminally re
sponsible through carelessness.
They were forced to furnish bonds
to this effect.
Would it not be we'll for our
legislators to consider the ad-
visibility of enacting such a law
1t would make the owners and
drivers of motor vehicles more
careful and place a wholesome re-
straint upon the speed mania
which has taken possession Of so
many chauffeurs.

A WORD OF WARNING.

1t becomes necessary once more
to call attention to the fact that
certain rules have been laid down
for the guidance of those who
patronize the "Question and An
swer" department Of The Catholic
Bulletin. Many enquirers seem
to be unfamiliar with these con-
ditions. If they turn to this
department they will find a brief
statement of the conditions which
must be fulfilled in order that
their questions may receive atten-
ton.
Many letters are received which
do not contain the names of
the senders. In all cases the
name of the writer must be signed
as a guarantee of good faith. The
name will not be published. If
the name is not signed to the let
ter, the letter finds its way into
the waste paper basket. We have
no time to devote to anonymous
correspondence. If one has not
the courage to sign letter he
writes, he should not write it. At
least, he should not expect to
receive an answer to it.
Many other letters contain ques-
tions which relate to personal mat
tiers or deal with local conditions
and abuses. These we cannot an
