The waves of old ocean must needs

Is the Church a Menace to America? :?
Is the Church really such a danger

covered America. Catholics helped to
colonize and to civiliZe America Cath
olics fought, and bled, and died, and
enriched the soil of America with as
pure and noble a stream of blood as
ever flowed from the heart of patriot.
Scan the pages of our history; glance
at the rosters of the army and the
navy; peep into the Legislative halls
of the country; view the array of
judiciary and executive minds of the
nation that insure peace at home and
honor and prestige abroad. Behold
the vast expanse of this glorious coun-
try dotted everywhere with the homes
of honorable and upright Catholic eiti-
zens. Where is the treason, where
the disloyalty, where the hostile or
covert attack on constitution, law, or
fellow-citizens? Complete harmony in
civil matters exists between Catholic
and non-Catholic. Each one worships
as best suits his convictions. And all
is well, 'save for the cocks shrill

metallic bray from the home of Uncle
Sans faithful mules.
These reflections do not attempt a
defence of the Church against the
Lilliputian pigmies who squeal and
squirm at an imaginary foe; such a
defence in re is unnecessary 1t would
but lend the dignity of honorable con.
troversy to the pin-prick grief of the
mental infants who cry out in the
dark. Instead of invoking the powers
of oratory, the keenness of logic, the
facts of history, or the incisiveness
of polemics against these votaries Of

4 Ne " Man LETTE R
IN WHICH THE GREAT CARDINAL
ALLUDES TO HIS CON
VERSION.

Preaching in the new Oratory of
Birmingham on the sixty-first anniver-
sary of Cardinal Newman's reception
into the Catholic Church, Cardinal
Bourne recently spoke as follows:
1--WE have his own assurance often
times repeated as to. the peaceful GER
tainty which was the outcome of his
submission to the Catholic Church.
May read to you further testimony
which, perhaps, may help some hesitat-
ing soul, even though more than fifty
years have passed since the words
were written? 1t was addressed to my
own father, who, then a young man
and very recent convert from Angli-
canism to the Catholic Church, had
been disquieted, like many others by
the persistent rumors that DR.. New
man was dissatisfied as a Catholic,
and was contemplating return to the
Established Church, and had written
to ascertain the real truth from him
to whose writings he owed, under
God, his own reception into the
Church"
The letter is dated from Maryvale,
June 13, 1848. 1t is embodied in the
book of Cardinal Bourne, recently
published and is as follows:
Dear Sir-I return an immediate,
though necessarily hasty answer to
your enquiry, which made me more
than smile. It is wonderful that peo-
pie can satisfy themselves with ru-
mors which the slightest examina-
tion, or even attention, would dis
prove; but | have had experience of
it long before l was a Catholic. At
present the persons who saw through
and reprobated the evangelical mis-
representations concerning me, when
| was in the Church of England, be-
lieve of me things quite as extrava-
CANT and as unfounded. Their eX-
perience of past years has taught
them nothing. / can only say, if it
is necessary to say it, that from the
moment I became Catholic, never
had, through Gods grace, single
doubt or misgiving in my mind that
did wrong in becoming one. Il have
not had any feeling but one of joy
and gratitude that God called me out
of an insecure state into one which
is sure and safe, out of the war of
tongues into realm of peace and as
surance. / shrink to contemplate the
guilt / should have incurred, and the
account which at the last day would
have lain against me, had not be-
come a Catholic; and it pierces me to
the heart to think that so many ex-
cellent persons should still be kept
in bondage in the Church of England,
and should, among the many good
points they have, want the great
grace Of faith, to trust God and fol-
low His Ieadings This is my state
of mind, and / wish it could be
brought home to all and every one
who, in default of real arguments for
remaining Anglicans, amuse them
selves with dreams and fancies."
Cardinal Bourne, on finishing the
reading Of the letter, remarked:
81 think that we may safely say
that he was raised up to convey the
old, unchanging message in new words
and i'm a fresh setting acceptable to
the Englishmen of his day. No voice
has fallen on English ears 50 per
suasively as his"

lives of earnest faith and practical
morality. Catholic citizens of today
must walk in the footsteps of their
forefathers, to do well their God
appointed work. Since by earnest
faith and practical Christianity, con-
ditions have changed, methods and
measures may undergo change also.
The Catholic citizen must seek in
struction-interest himself more in
higher education and take livelier
interest in the social activities of the
age Catholic citizens are obliged to
cast their vote on election day, in
municipal, state and government elec-
tions, and all have an obligation to
be practical politicians
Program Of Catholic Citizenship.
'The program Of Catholic citizen
ship as laid down in the proclama-
tion of John HI. Redden of Denver,
Supreme Master of the fourth degree
of the Knights of Columbus, may
serve as a model for the Initiation
of all Catholic citizens. It's contents
are: Social and moral uplift of the
country, by putting into practice the
teachings of the Catholic church. 1t
stands for virile patriotism, it seeks
to spread the moral code of the
Catholic church to make lasting
foundation for civil society and civil
government. 1t has no quarrel with
Christians of any denomination-its
fight is with ignorance and unbelief,
which are menaces to society.
Religion and morality, which are
mentioned as the pillars Of good gov
ernment by the father of the Ameri-
can Republic, must be the chief vir-
tues of Catholic citizenship. These
evil times with all their crimes call
for vigorous action on the part of all
Catholics. 1t is not the man who
sits by his fireside and talks COM
plainingly of the evil times, who will
do anything to save his country. Go
out into the fray! Strike blow il

country. Organize! Join the great

try; hold aloft the cross of Christ
and your country's flag. Pro Dec ct

FORMAL OPENING ON MARCH 26
PERCEPTION OF PosTuLANTs

MANY VISITORS EXPECTED
SHOWS GROWTH or THE, Or
DER.

The formal opening of the new
Novitiate of the Sisters of st. Joseph,
on Randolph Street near Fairview
Avenue, St. Paul, will take place on
March 26. The institution has been
in use since the first of last August,
when it was blessed by the Most
Reverend Archbishop who celebrated
the first Mass in presence of the
noyices and postulants who had come
from ST. Joseph's Academy to take up
their residence in the new home.
Since then the work of the novitiate
has been carried on and large class
of postulants is now ready for recep-
tion into the Order.
Heretofore, it was customary to
hold this reception on March 19, the
Feast of st. Joseph, patron of the Sis
terhood, but, owing to the fact that
this date falls in Holy Week, it was
necessary to postpone the ceremony
until the Wednesday after Easter
On that occasion thirty-eight postu-

THE VATICAN LIBRARY
CONTAINS MOST PRECIOUS Docu-
MENTs-22o 1000 VOLUMES AND
10000 MANUSCRIPTS.

The Vatican library probably is the
most sumptuously housed in the
world, says the Pail Mall Gazette This,
of course, is only as it should be, for
the collection contains some OF the
most precious manuscripts in exist
ence, including the Biblical "Codex
Vaticanus" of the fourth century, the
Fifth Century Virgil and the
palimpsest "De Republica" Of Cicero.
The printed books include more
than $500 fifteenth century editions.
many of them vellum copies. The total
library has been estimated to comprise
more than 100000 volumes and 10000
manuscripts, but it has never been ade-
quately catalogued.

WHEN ENGLAND WAS CATHOLIC
EVIDENCE or IT AMONG TREAS
lures AT FIsHMoNGERs'
HALL, LONDON.

Among the treasures at Fishmon-
gers Hall, London, England, where
the Lord Mayor OF that city was
an honored guest some time ago, is
a pail, which, it is said, was used at
the funeral of Sir William WaIworth,
the doughty Chief Magistrate who
slew Wat Tyler.
It IL the work of nuns, and, despite
its great antiquity, is in a state Of
splendid preservation. By the way,
the company still perpetuates the his
toricaI inaccuracy that the weapon de-
picted in the City Arms represents
the dagger with which the rebel was
slain. As matter Of fact, the weapon
il a. sword, and not dagger; and
represents the sword OF St. Paul, the
patron saint of London.

NATIONAL NE EMORIAL
To INDIAN S
WILL BE ERECTED AT FORT
WADSWORTH ON STATEN
ISLAND-PRESIDENT TAFT AND
INDIAN DELEGATES ATTEND
Mr.. WANAMAKER OF PHILA-
DELPHIA WILL ERECT MUSEUM
AND STATUE.

In presence of a distinguished
gathering President Taft turned the
first spadeful of earth, on February
%, at Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island,
N. Y, on the site selected for the
memorial to the North American In
dian, to be erected by Rodman Wana-
maker, of Philadelphia, as national
recognition of disinherited race.
Historical significance is attached to
the erection of this memorial on Amer
ican soil, for never before in the
worlds history has a monument been
erected to race of people. The
authority to erect the museum and
gigantic statue was given to Mr. Wan
amaker by an act of Congress.
Thirty Indian chiefs, the majority
in aboriginal full dress, and a number
of other prominent Indians witnessed
the interesting ceremonies. These in
cluded representatives of the Kiawa,
Kiawa-Apache, Menominee, Grow,
Sioux, Flathead, Northern Cheyenne,
Gros-Ventre and Arickaree tribes.
The delegates from these tribes,
most of whom are Catholics, were ac-
companied by Rev. William H.
Ketcham, director of the Bureau of
Catholic Indian Missions, who at
tended the ceremonies on invitation
of the Indian Memorial Association.
Declaring "the North American In
dian has had a right to be treated
not as a relic of prehistoric man, but
as an existing force, with great and
immediate and direct influence upon
the settlement and development of
this country by the white race" Presi-
dent Taft commented on the great
differences in the matter of civiliZa-
tion and culture between the tribes,
some tribes showing very little ad-
vance from the lowest human type
and others having degree of civili-
zation, art and culture that makes
their history full of interest to the
present-day historian"
These observations of the President
bring forcibly to mind those glorious
servants of Christ whose names are
inseparably linked with the red mems
cause-those noble souls who have
labored and are still laboring zeal
ously for the uplifting of the Indian;
self-sacrificing missionaries, whose
efforts have brought about that de
gree of civilization, art and culture, .
that Christianizing influence which has
made the life and history of the red
man worthy of perpetuation in bronze.
The Sioux chief, Red Hawk, sound
ed the keynote to the situation in his
address following the Presidents
when he said: 1--WE have been taught
in our Indian way to love one an
other as brothers, and think you
have been taught to love each other,
too. Therefore let us join hands in
brotherhood, and so you viii help us
get out of the rut of the past

SHOULD WAIT ON JUDGMENT
Medical Journal Depreoates the Re-
moval Of the Tonsils Without
Due Consideration.

The Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal, in reviewing a discussion on
the removal of the tonsils, expresses
the opinion that the operation is a
much more serious one than it is pop
ularly considered, and should certain
ly not be entered upon lightly, but
l~iscreetly, adyisedly and soberly.
This admonition coming as it does at
a season when the tonsils, especially
in children, are most subject to irri-
tation and Inflammation, should be
borne in mind. "Tonsils,' says the
Journal, SHOULD not be removed for
trivial symptoms. Tonsillitomy is
not justifable simply because the
tonsils protrude in front Of the pill
lars, or because they look ragged, or
for occasional sore throat, or because
they contain plugs, or because the pa
tent is under ether for adenoids, or
for any remote symptoms not Of a
serious nature, or to protect the child
