son. There is a Fifth Commandment
of the Church which obliges Catho-
lies to contribute to the support of
their pastors. 1t is natural to suppose
that the Church did not intend this
commandment to be purely orna-
mental, and the plain words of the
commandment would imply that there
is an obligation. The general prac-
tice of priests and pastors is to leave
church support to the goodwill of the
people, and if they fail to do their
duty the priest is content to leave
them to the reproaches of their own
consciences. Archbishop Kenrick, in
his theology, states that those who
out of a spirit of avarice leave the
pastor in need or impose too heavy a
burden on others in the matter of
church support are guilty of a mortal
sin. 1t is for the Bishop to determine
what action may be taken in order to
bring such people to a realization of
their duty. Until that has been done,
pastors will go on administering the
sacraments even to those whose dis
positions unfit them for the worthy
reception thereof.

Unction. The Mission and Power Of
the Priesthood and the cherished re-
gard in which it is held by the faith
full are strikingly set forth. The
sacredness of Christian marriage and
the dangers attendant upon mixed
marriages are emphasized. The latest
regulations Of the Church in regard to
marriage are added in the instruc-
tons by the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Ireland on the new marriage
law which form a fitting conclusion to
the series and makes the treatment of
this important sacrament complete in
its relations, duties and obligations
The volume concludes with series of
special sermons, the most important of
which deal with the question of Chris
tian Education.
All who have read the preceding
volumes will hasten to secure the pres
ent one. Not only are the subjects
with which it deals important, but the
manner in which they are treated
holds the interest of the reader. Fa-
ther Jones has done his work we'll and
in adapting the sermons to present
needs he has shown excellent judg-
ment. His long experience as a pas
tor of souls has been invaluable to
him in the work which he has under
taken. Two more volumes will COM
plete the series, which should be found
in the library of every priest The
laity, too, will find these volumes val
liable for spiritual reading and medita-
ton.

La s A LIE
THE CAVALIER WHO DISCOVERED
THE OHIO RIVER.

Robert Cavalier de La Sale, the
discoverer of the Ohio River and ex-
plorer of the Mississippi Valley, was
born of a wealthy and aristocratic
family in the city of Rouen, France,
in 1913, and was educated in Jesuit
seminary, where he was noted for his
talents and pure character. He sailed
for Canada in 1866, and obtained
large tract of land near Montreal, at
Lachine In few years he had mas
tered the Iroquois, Algonquin and sew
eral other Indian dialects. With this
preliminary training he organized an
expedition accompanied by several
priests of the Sulpician Order, in 1870.
They proceeded to the Southwest till
he reached the Ohio, and sailed down
as far as the present site of Louisville.
Returning to Canada he was appointed
commander of Fort Frontenac.
A few years later he returned to
France, where he was cordially re-
ceived by Louis XIV, who invested
him with patent of nobility and gave
him a monopoly of the lake trade to
enable him to prosecute his explora-
tions. Again he set out for Canada
with a well-selected expedition, and
in 1879 built and launched a forty
five ton ship at the head of the Mag
ara River, the first vessel larger than
canoe constructed on the American
lakes. The launching was made amid
the solemn chanting of the TIE Deum,
and the ship proceeded up the Huron
and Michigan lakes and finally landed
at Green Bay. From there he pro-
ceeded to explore the Illinois River.
Learning that his ship with all it's
cargo was lost on Lake Michigan, he
set out on foot for Fort Frontenac, a
distance of 1000 miles. Again he
made the expedition in a canoe to find
his companions on the Illinois, and
with them fioated down the river,
reaching the Mississippi in 1852. Fol
lowing the course of the mighty
stream he planted a cross at every
landing, finally reaching the mouth of
it on April 9, that year. Returning
up the river he set sail for France,
and two years later returned with a
force of $50 persons, including three
franciscan priests, well supplied to
plant a colony at the mouth of the
Mississippi. He missed the entrance
and landed at Matagorda Bay, in
Texas, where he built Fort st. Louis.
La Sale was most anxious to find
the great river again, but he saw that

and treacherous. He undertook the
discovery by land, but a revolt broke
out and he was murdered on the 18th
of March, 1857, near Trinity River, in
Texas. Never" says the historian
Parkman, under the impenetrable
mail of paladin or crusader beat a
heart of more intrepid mettle than
within the stole panoply that armed
the breast of La Sale"

TO THE EDITOR
A LOVE FOR THE CLASSICS.
The Classics Have Always Been Eos
tered by the Clergy.

I am well persuaded that no grade
of scholarship can be too high to be
attained by those whose Office is to
teach in the schools of the Church
for in these schools there is the re-
sponsibility growing out of conscien-
tious duty-the work of teachers in
the Church is not of a mercenary ma
ture. The end in view is too high
pitched and the teachers knowledge
should be in harmony with the ends
in view. l admire the ambition of
those who aim at advanced and
varied scientific scholarship-no-
where so finely chiselled out as in
the halls of truly Christian science
The Church has always laid great
stress on the duty of being we'll &C.
quainted with the ancient classics
The great Archbishop McHale-who
was the student, the professor and
the Bishop-while yet in Maynooth,
was great lover of the Greek and
Latin and Irish classics. He trans
lated Homer into Irish and had many
of Moores melodies translated into
Irish and set to music. For example,
Erin the Tear and the Smile in
Thine Eye" And a regular practice
with him was to go to his harp every
morning after breakfast.
In reading the second book of
Homer VS.. 488 ct seq. you are asked
to compare text with VS.. 626 in
vi Book of Virgil The design of
both authors appears to be the same
as well as the conclusion drawn by
each of them. Virgil appears to have
been favored with the finer and more
special inspiration, Homer, not so
fine.
Between Bishop Lawler, speaking at
st. Paul, and President Emeritus
Northrop, speaking at Worcester,
Mass, both on the same day and on
the same subject, there is not a
single discordant note.
Certain it is that neither mind leans
upon the other. Each one has the
same innate concept of the true stu.
dent. Bishop Lawler declares
Rightly has it been said that work
and enthusiasm are the pinions on
which great deeds are borne In the
struggle for existence in our age and
country, young men and women for
get the absolute necessity of hard
work as a condition of proficiency
Self-denial is an ingredient of great
ness. P. Press (page 49,, June 49,
1913.
DR.. Cyrus Northup says:
THE ignorance sometimes exhibited
by graduates of colleges when exam
ined in variety of subjects with
which a person of ordinary ability and
culture ought to be familiar, is Ger
tainly discouraging, and does much
to destroy our confidence in the
thoroughness and wisdom of our edu'
cational work.
"The inability of some of these
graduates to meet the demands of our
increasingly strenuous life, their utter
incapacity for high service and their
failure to render any remarkable serv
ice in ordinary business life, seem not
unreasonably to throw discredit on
their educational training"
The works of Homer and of Virgil
in their dress Of classic beauty, give
more and more classic encouragement
to the study of their own and the in
spired poetry of the books of the
Old Testament.
