CATHOLIC SCIENTISTS.

People who imagine that there is a
conflict between religion and science
or that the Catholic church has no
great scientists among its members
are Astounding in their own Ignorance.
Just to mention a few OF the scien-
lists who we're Catholics, we give the
names of Copernicus, the astronomer;
Galvani, the electrician; Volta, the
physicist; Ampere, the electrician;
Roentgen, the discoverer of the X
rays; Pasteur, the chemist and biolo-
gist: Schwann, the dlscoverer az the
cell theory; Johannes Muller, the
biologist, after whom the Muller
ducts are named ;lClaude Bernard .lthe
psychologist; Nicholas Stensen, the
anatomist, after whom is named the
Stensen duct; Laennec, the discov-
erer Of the stethoscope and the
father of physical diagnosis; Secchi,
the astronomer, and Eric Wasman,
the biologist, who is also a priest
and a Jesuit These names are OF
scientists of the first rank. They
are only a few of the myriad OF scien-
tific men who have adored God and
have been members OF the Catholic
church

We hear so much nowadays OF
condemnation and abuse Of Catholic
institutions and the church, espe-
eially in past ages, that testimony
like the following. coming from a
Protestant divine, the Rev. DR.. N.
NJ. Waters, is refreshing:
"Out Of the monasteries came the
printing press; out OF the monas-
teries came the universities; out of
the monasteries came the prayer
book, the Litany, the TIE Deum. II

ton OF English literature was laid

BOY WHO LOVES HIS MOTHER.

BOY WHO LOVES HIS MOTHER.
She sat on the porch in the sun
shine,
AS I went down the street
A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was blossom
sweet,
Making me think of garden,
When, in spite of the frost and
snow
OF bleak November weather
Late fragrant lilies blow.
l heard a footstep behind me,
And the sound of merry laugh,
And / knew the heart it came from
Would be like a comforting staff
In the time and hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean on
When we think all things go
wrong.
I turned at the click of the gate
latch,
anu uicl Ms manly lOOh,
A face like this gives me pleasure
Like the page of pleasant book;
1t told of steadfast PURPOSE,
OF a brave and daring will,
A face with a promise in 1t,
That, God grant, the years fulfill.
He went up the pathway singing,
/ saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with a wordless well
come
AS sunshine warns the skies.
"Back again, sweetheart mother"
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face uplifted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to depend on,
| know that this is true
From lads in love with their
mothers
Our bravest heroes grew.
Earth's grandest hearts have been
loving ones.
Since time and earth began;
And the boy who kisses his mother
Is every inch a man.
