IT'S DOORS ARE NEVER
CLOSED.

In the course Of an address at
the College Of Agriculture in this
city last Sunday, DR.. J. E. Young,
Professor Of Political Economy at
the University Of Minnesota, adj
vised the Protestant churches to
learn lesson from the Catholic
Church and keep their doors al
ways open.
1t is a matter of common knoWl-
edge that Protestant churches are
closed to worshippers six days
of the week unless some special
service is scheduled to take place.
Nor are the church doors thrown
open at an early hour on Sunday
morning. Professionalism has SO
little to offer to its votaries in the
way of dogmas and devotions that
there is no reason for a daily
service. At the Reformation it
cut itself off so completely from
the great central doctrines of
Christianity that a daily call to
divine worship would be barren
of results. It's churches are little
more than meeting places where
the members of the congregation
get together at stated intervals to
participate in public prayer, to
listen to a popular talk on some
subject remotely connected with
religion and to meet one another
in social way.
Not so with the Catholic Church
The Divine Tenant residing in the
Tabernacle makes every Catholic
Church in which the Blessed
Sacrament is reserved House OF
God and Home Of Prayer. With.
in its sanctuary the Saviour Him
self resides day and night, ever
beckoning His faithful children tC
their Fathers house and bidding
them pause in their daily round
of toll to greet Him in visit
prompted by love, if the early
hours Of the day do not find them
PROSTATE before the altar. From
early morning to late at night
there is a continual stream of wor.
shippers passing into the Catholic
Church and pouring forth then
petitions in presence of Him Who
welcomes them with an ear at
tentive to their prayers and q
heart surcharged with love fol
1 them.

GREAT POET
DANTE'S STRANGE AND SAD
CAREER.

This great poet of Italy was born
in Florence on the 18th day of May,
1865, and came from an old and dis
tinguished family. He is best known
in the popular literature as the author
of ''Dante's Inferno" which stands
almost alone in it's fearful and daring
imagery. He was most gifted ar
list and scholar. Boccacio relates
that before his birth his mother
dreamed that she lay under very
lofty laurel, growing in a green mea-
dow, by very clear fountain, when
she felt the pangs of childbirth; that
her child, feeding on the berries which
fell from the laurel and on the waters
of the fountain, in very short time
became shepherd and attempted to
reach the leaves of the laurel, whose
fruit had nurtured him; that, trying
to obtain them, he fell, and rose up,
no longer man, but in the guise of
peacock.
Dante's career was indeed, most
strange and sad. We have space only
for the merest reference. He became
involved in the civil strife which agi-
tated Florence and spent many years
of his life in exile. The fame of his
learning and philosophy caused those
who had banished him to offer to per-
NIT his return on payment of nomi-
nal fine, but he refused the offer.
When but a boy he met at her
fathers house young girl, Beatrice
Portinari, only nine years old, and the
story of his love for her forms one
of the strangest chapters of tender
and ennobling enchantment, though it
was his destiny to meet her but few
times and to marry another, and hers
to know but little Of him, as she died
young. Dante died of a fever in Ra-
VIENNA on September 18th, 1881 His
daughter Beatrice, named after the
love OF his youth, became a nun.

members continued to observe the
total abstinence pledge which they
had taken. The disturbing agita-
ton of the years prior to the Civil
War turned mems thoughts into
other channels and lessened the
interest taken in total abstinence
work. A few years after the war,
however, the work of organizing
along broad and stable lines was
undertaken and, although the
movement has had it's periods of
ebb and flow, it is still vigorous in
many localities throughout the
United States. 1t has languished
not SO much because there is no
need for it, but because the meth
DDS of the olden days are no long
er adequate to cope with new con-
ditions, and no commanding figure
looms above the horizon to
direct its energies into new chan
nels or put into operation modern
methods of propagating its prin-
ciples. There is crying need of a
new leader endowed with the
magnetism and enthusiasm Of a
Father Mathew and the organic
ing genius of Napoleon to re
unite the broken ranks of the total
abstinence army and lead them on
to victory against the combined
hosts Of evil which march beneath
the banner Of the Moloch Of the
drink traffic. With methods
attuned to modern needs and cap
able of combating modern evils
there is no reason why the glori
Gus record Of the golden age Of
total abstinence cannot be sur
passed in the present generation

Five cents a month, says t

Five cents a month, says the
Missionary is a very small
amount. Yet if every Catholic in
the United States would give it,
the total would be $8,771,256 at
the end of one year. What an i'm
mense help this sum would be to
missionaries for the conversion of
America. But what is the use of
figuring upon what might be, if
all Catholics were doing their
duty? The question is: Are you
giving five cents a month to the
missions?

An appeal has been issued to
the Catholic public by a commit
tee composed of priests and lay
men of Oregon for the purpose of
securing financial aid to enable
the Sisters of st. Benedict of
Mount Angel, Oregon, to prose
cute the suit for $4,000 damages
which they have instituted against
the "Silverton Journal" for a
scandalous attack made upon
upon them in its issue of August
l, 1913, and disseminated
throughout the United States in
"The Menace. The Catholics of
Mount Angel have raised 800 for
this purpose, but this fund has al
ready been exhausted. The com
mittee declares that the "Silver-
ton Journal is receiving finan-
cial support from the anti-Catholic
press and particularly from "The
Menace.

Monsieur Firmin Roz, of Paris,
was some time ago a visitor in St.
Paul. Here is a statement from
his pen in the noted French Re
view-''La Revue Hebdomaire"
Rich, spacious and noble, the
new Cathedral of st. Paul unites
together the imperial majesty of
Byzantium and the opulent grace
of Italian Renaissance" This is
what the architect Of the Cathe-
dral intended it should do: it is
pleasing to hear from an impair
tial judge that the concept of the
mind has been wrought into a
magnificent reality.

The official statistics of the state
of Ohio show that 1895 mar
riages took place last year, and
1924 couples sought to have their
marriage dissolved by divorce.
While the number of divorces is
greater each year, there are 5000
fewer marriages than there were
six years ago. Ohio has no reason
to be proud of this record. On
the contrary, it is a disgrace. But
the state is, apparently, doing
nothing to ameliorate this deplor-
able condition which threatens to
ruin the commonwealth.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-10-11

Some months ago, a woman who
became a convert to Catholicity
through the influence Of her hus-
band was forced, on account of his
unconquerable love for drink, to
sue for divorce before the District
Court Of Ramsey County. A de-
cree was issued in her favor, and
she was entrusted with the care of
her husbands children by a previ-
GUS marriage. When her attorney
suggested that she petition the
court to restore her maiden name,
she refused to do so, for the rea-
son that it was through her hus-
band that she received the inesti-
mable blessing Of the one true
faith, and in gratitude for that
priceless gift, she wished to retain
his name. What greater tribute
could she pay to him, unworthy
though he proved himself to be !!
Had he valued the church Of his
forefathers as much as she did the
religion Of her adoption, there
would have been nothing but hap
piness in store for that family.
We can imagine how unbearable
life must have become for the wife
before she took legal steps to sever
the sacred tie that bound her to
her husband; but it did not mill
tate against her continued adhe-
sion to that faith which she re-
garded as the most precious fruit
of her welded life, and to which
she had recourse in her moments
of greatest trial and difficulty.

The Century Club, an exclusive
women's organization of San
Francisco, recently made a bon
fire of lot Of vile books. The
clubs censors read the volumes
and Immediately proposed that
they should be banished from the

other members of the club to de-
eide that the books should be
burned.
