summary idea of the teaching of the
Catholic Church; and they have imme-
diately to meet the onslaught of their
own passions, which tend inevitably
to make them abandon the practice
of religion by alternating them from the
Sacraments, and are met by the spe-
cious objections to all religion which
are current among those in whose
company they find themselves at work.
They have had enough education to
enable them to read. and to make
them imagine that they are wise
enough to pass judgment on matters
which even the wisest can hardly
handle, and in too many cases passion
and too great trust in their own in
tellectual powers combine in making
them throw off that which they have
come to regard as the burden of re
ligion.
We are forced, then, to this general
there is a widespread
falling away from religious belief and
practice, especially among young men,
and that even Catholics are not unaf-
fected by these tendencies. There are,
indeed, wonderful examples of heroic
constancy among the very poor, who
find in their religion, which is all that
they possess, fortitude and resigna-
ton in an almost uncomfortable exist
ence. But these are the exceptions,
showing forth in their lives what Gods
grace can do in spite of countless OBJ
stacles.
Our first concern is naturally with
those who share with US, as members
of the Catholic Church, the full revela-
ton of things eternal which God has
vouchsafed to us by His Divine Son.
We desire to prepare them for, and
strengthen them against, the dangers
which now so frequently and in SO
many forms beset their faith. But IT,
in so doing, we be privileged to help
others as well, then will our Congress
be doubly and trebly blessed by &C
complishing something that is OF SUI
preme Importance for the future and
the well-being of our country.

men in the scientific world have estab-
lished the fact (Which stands unques-
toned throughout all time) that the
alcohol in any drink cannot have any
but evil effects on the bedy-that it is
not one of the fruits of the field any
more than a fungus growth is neces-

AS regards the evil effects of liquor
drinking upon the character no one
who has had experience with the
moral failures in life would doubt it.
The speaker told of his work among
the human wrecks who are found in
countless numbers within the confines
of his parish in Chicago, and stated
that LIQUOR drinking was the cause OF
their loss of manhood. He pointed
out where their downward course be-
gan, and tried to impress upon his
hearers that liquor drinking can pull
down those who today think they are
strong enough to constantly use and
never abuse alcoholic beverages.
"For forty years the American Cath
olic Total Abstinence Union of Amer
lea has been trying to get strong
hold on the Catholics of America" he
said. 1--WE are not as strong today
as we were ten years ago. Something
is wrong with the Catholic Total
| Abstinence Union or something is
wrong with our people. There are
those who say indeed the Total Abstin-
ence movement has done it's work;
that it created public opinion among
Catholics which gradually reduced ex-
cessive drinking among them until
there is little further call for the work
of this society. | do not entirely agree
with those optimists. The number OF
wealthy and well-to-do Catholics has
increased, it is true, and this inclines
many of us to forget the vast mum
bers of our people still impoverished
by liquor. There was a time when
disgraceful excuses were so frequent
that the evil of drink was easily real
lied, and few men of good will could
be depended upon in each community
to be loyal to the total abstinence
cause.

Mathew courageously took up the
cause of total abstinence and the
movement fourished.

Another principle is required.

It will take a generation to make the

that it poisons the human system.
