and We never saw normal thing all
the time We were there, to quote the
familiar expression Of the Caiifornians.
Ii hadn't rained for nine months when
we got there, and 1t didn't rain for
three months more, and Southern CAL
ifornia presented az fine a specimen
Of a desert as one could wish for
dust and sand fees being the only
things that appeared to be anything
like normal or really belonging to the
country. And we shivered in January
fogs that would put an Iowa blizzard
to shame for cutting coldness.
And then came the rain! In four
brief hours SO much water fell that
the streets ran full, the street cars
stopping in the middle Of the blocks
where the grade was highest, and
even then policemen in rubber boots
carried the pass engers to and from
the cars. And the water ran into
the oil wells in the swell residence
part OF the town and the Shiny dirty
stuff OVERLOOKED until it ran for half
mile down some Of the best resi-
dence streets Of that fair city. And
those dearly beloved native sons
stood up with one accord and cried
unto high heaven the rain, like the
| drouth Of a year. was mot normal
We saw another rain with the same
results, only added thereto that the
Easements Of buildings in the whole
| sale districts were flooded and the city
fire engines pumped for several days

In trouble, sorrow or sickness, trust TO

Many a shrine has more followers than
Pasteur. many saint more believers
than Lister. Less than twenty years
have passed since the last witch was

Cardinal Gibbons said he was shocked
at DR.. Osler's statement. Il find that
scfentists in any line sometimes make
statements such as that Of DR.. Osler, -
said the cardinal. land only a short
time ago had to defend some truths
that Thomas A. Edison attacked. The
great trouble with these scientific spe-
cialists is that they can not imagine
how any one can disagree with them.
They think their statements should go
unchallenged, but this one Of DR.. Osler
shall not, and / shall write to him
asking him to retract 1t.
II would like to call the attention
of DR.. Osler to the fact that Pasteur
was devoted Catholic and put his
trust in the saints. He said that as his
knowledge OF medicine increased his
faith grew likewise He was proud OF
the fact that he was a member OF the
Catholic church and am sure he
worshipped at many shrInes.
What do the things that DR.. Osler
prea ches stand for anyhow? Fifty years
hence all his teachings may be over
thrown By new discoveries. His whole
doctrine is based on theory.
The statements attributed TO DR..
Osler are an attack on Christianity. l
am exceedingly surprised that he
should make such an attack in this
age. The Catholic church is not
founded on theory, and whereas the
whole world is informed OF its doc
trines. the conclusions of DR.. Osler are
