aTHE BELLE OF NEW YORK;

"THE BELLE OF NEW YORK;
"The Nest Egg" was witnessed by
audiences yesterday afternoon and
last night that packed the Avenue
Theatre. The production of the com
edy on the holiday was, in every
sense, a triumph. The CONFESS
Players were freely applauded the
assemblages appreciating the fact
that this is their farewell week The
final appearance of the dramatic COM
pany tomorrow night will be note
worthy. The members of the COM
pany who have made such a good inn
preston here, will be called upon to
make curtain speeches and tell Of
their appreciation of the support CIV
en- them by local playgoers. Bunches
of flowers and other gifts will be in
evidence.
Tn musical company that will pro-
duce THE Belle of New York" at the
Avenue next week, rehearsed all of
yesterday. IL is the largest musical or
ganization ever installed in VIII
mington. numbering fifty persons.
The rehearsals continued today and
they will again be continued tomor-
row. This will ensure a finished
presentation of the musical play in
which Edna May scored so heavily In
New York and London. The opening
performances next Monday night will
be a gala event. The members of this
company are different from the dram
attic organization inasmuch as they
are all singers and dancers. Man
ager CONFESS made this innovation as
result of demands made upon him
by the Avenues clientele for musi-
cal shows. It Is always his policy to
give his patrons what they desire.

some mothers and some teachers who,
without strenuousness or any outward
sign of authority, somehow call forth
obedience wherever they go. The
magic flower springs from the soil
they tread But in most cases obedi-
ence has to be taught, and taught as
one of the sterner duties. Every child
should know that in some relations of
life orders must be followed just be-
cause they are given by person in
authority-and for no other reason.
A child who obeys his mother be-
cause he loves her is not necessarily
an obedient child To others he may
not be obedient at all. You must
take him right" the mother probably
explains to you, then he will obey.
She does not understand obedience,
which is submission to authority. An
obedient child does what he is told to
do, whether he likes it or not This
is a lesson that all have to learn
sooner or later, and it is a point too
little emphasized.
Obedience is very distasteful to
most children. They cannot see a
reason for it. Why must they do
what is disagreeable just because
someone says they must? This atti-
tude they have caught perhaps from
their parents, who are equally impa-
tient of any sort of authority. 81

polite bore said to me lately, after

Whats the use, anyway" The an
swer to this question seems to me
clear enough. Wherever order and
discipline are to be maintained, there
must be regulations, which must be
enforced without discussion.

ONLY THE CROSS.

At coroner's inquest recently in
New Mills (England), the coroner, an
swering the request of witness for
a Catholic Bible on which to take oath,
said there was no difference between
a Catholic Bible and Protestant
Bible except that one had cross on
it and the other had not.
That coroner is not much of a Bibli-
cal scholar, but he allowed the witness
to make a declaration, there being
no Catholic Bible at hand. The Cath
olic Herald, which tells the story,
prints an interview with Father James
Hughes, of Liverpool, in which some
interesting information on the subject
is given.
"To make use Of Bible or Testa-
ment in taking an oath is to recognize
it as the true word of God.
Therefore, as the Protestant Bible
or Testament is neither complete nor
correct, strictly speaking, it is not
right for a Catholic to make use of
it. 1t is well, for Catholics to under
stand that if they have not a Catholic
Testament with them their Catholic
prayer-book, which contains the Cos
pels used each Sunday throughout the
year, can be used instead of the Tesla
ment. Further, it should be
remembered that in taking an oath the
correct form is the laying of the hand
on the Gospels or Testament, and not
the kissing of the book. The point
that matters is the touching of the
Gospels with the hand, kissing being
only mark of respect for the Gospel
as the true and written word of God
Catholics, therefore, would do well to
take note that it is not right to make
use of the Protestant Testament in
the taking of an oath. If possible, a
Catholic Testament should be OBJ
tanned, and if one has not such thing
in his possession Catholic prayer
book should be used. In the event OF
neither being obtainable, Catholics
should insist on what is known as
the Scotch oath, which really is a
declaration made with the hand up
lifted"
AS for the New Mills coroner's "dif
ference it might be taken as perhaps
safe enough mark of distinction be
tween the two Bibles. The Cross and
Catholicity are inseparably connected
