CHRISTIANIzING MEXICO

Outstanding a Catholic country, or
what. by every right and title. should
be a Catholic country, In Protestant
parlance, usually means tearing down
a belief In the Catholic religion and
what IL teaches. Money will be spent,
since Protestant sects have much OF
Il, and, as In other cases, these mis-.
sionAries, whose zeal for souls arises
when peace Is assured, will 70 10 work
with a will. The results In some cases
will be, not the making OF good Prot.
estants, but the de eChristianiEing Of bad
Catholics who, IL left TO themselves
and the ministration OF their own peo-
pie, might be brought back into the
one true fold. A bad Catholic will
never make a good Protestant And a
good Catholic remains true 20 the faith
OF his fathers.
"In regard TO the Outstanding OF

lies. IL is always exasperating TO have
Protestants assume the sole right and
title to the word Christian. We often
wonder what We are, according to Prot.
estant tabulation. Catholics are not
Jews, since we accept Redeemer. We
are not atheists, because we believe in
a Supreme Being. We are not agnos.
tics, because We know many things
which God has revealed; but, accord.
ing TO Protestant ideas, We are not
Christians. Some OF our Protestant
friends would evidently deny us the
right to call ourselves Christians,
though the more broad minded OF them
agree with US that Il is not right 10

hoods have left homes OF luxury and
comfort, TO suffer untold hardships,
persecution. and, in not a few cases,
torture and death.-Morning Star,
(Catholic) New Orleans.
Such is the comment in the
pope's diocesan organ on the an
nouncement that the Protestant
bodies of the United States would
Join in a great missionary move
ment to educate and Christianize
Mexico. The jealous reference to
Mexico, as a Catholic country or
what by every right and title
should be a Catholic country, far
from expressing a religious senti-
ment breathes rather the spirit
of a European monarch and war
lord. II is more like the bark of
the German war dogs when
French soldiers get too close to
the Rhine. 1t sounds like a
speech such as Emperor William
would make were Alsace-Lor-
raine captured by the French.
The reference to Protestant
missionary work as only destruc-
tive of religion is commended to
the loving attention of DR.. Glad
den who will no doubt find there
in another evidence Of why
papists and Protestants must live

Clerpyman's Pun,

A clergyman who had worked for
many years in certain wild section
OF the country, was being queried
by a brother as to the church which
made most appeal to the people in
that region. He answered that the
Baptists had been most successful in
making converts. The questioner made
some objection to the practice of total
submersion, which was the only bap-
tismal ceremony recognized in the
country. 1t seemed to him supereroga-
tory.
"Ah, yes" remarked the clergyman.
Il grant you that such a ceremony
may appear to you to be unnecessary
according to the Scriptures, but an
intimate life among these people has
convinced me that for most Of them
total submersiOn Is not to be classed
as work Of super-rrigation."- New
York Evening Post.

Secured from Ladies OF the Trinity
Methodist Church.

Preparations are going merrily on
towards getting everything in readi-
ness for the horse show. The grand
stand is being built, the fence around
the grounds has been completed and
the show ring is now being put in
condition for the exhibition here on
April eth, Sth and 9th
Mr.. j. 3. Booth of the Board of
Directors has had charge Of put
ting the grounds in order for the

Il. C.. DE LEON DEAD.
He Once Conducted Magazine in Bal

Thomas Cooper De Leon, formerly
we'll known in Baltimore, author of
numerous books, the more popular of
which related to the Civil War

aged rs years. Blindness during the
closing years of his life did not pre-
vent him from continuing his liter
airy work.
He was born in Columbia. S. c.,

the schools of Washington, ID. c., at
Rugby Academy and in Portland,
Maine, TO prepare for higher studies
at Georgetown College. He was then

II was found necessary to do away
with the family cat because she had

II was dangerous for the children. But
this cat was the children's particular

her disappear. with no funeral or fiow-

was chloroformed and then Mr.. Jones

In the train before the river was
reached Mr.. Jones saw the package re-
posing In the rack above his head and
determined that was a good place to
leave II. SO when he started to get out
OF the car he did not take the pack
age down.
Hey, there. Jones! You're leaving
your package" called out friend. So
Jones turned back and got the pack
age.
On the boat he was surrounded by q
number OF friends and realized that to
drop the bundle overheard In their
presence would require a lot of expla-
nation and doubtless result In more or
less Joking at his expense. So he took
the package to his office with him. He
saw the impossibility Of disposing of

home.
But there again he was surrounded
by his friends of the morning trip and
took the package to the train with him.

returning to his home with the bother

would meet him on the front porch and
insist on knowing what II was. Accord
ingly he made his way home across
the back lots. deposited the bundle on
the Kitchen porch and finally got to

seated himself on tho front porch with
the solution OF his great problem the
cook appeared.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jones both went back.
Sure enough the bundle contained

Mr.. Jones is still wondering whether
the man with whom he somewhere ex-
changed bundles had much difficulty in

PROFIT SHARING WORKS WELL
Method Of Stimulating Interest OF Em-
ploycs In Business is Growing
In Popularity.

Business as formerly conducted on
a modern scale permitted that &C.
quaintance between employer and en-
ployed which became a personal bond
and attached the worker Loyalty to the
establishment. This Is impossible
with the giant concerns Of today, and
the progressive among them are look
ing to the principle Of profit sharing
to interest the employe in his work.
In England, where the plan is much
In vogue and tends to become the set
tiled practice, the profit sharing sys.
tenn Is expected to enable the small
shop or factory to compete, by reason
OF the more jealous endeavor Of the
employed, with the huge establish.
ments; and 1t seems not unreasonable
that 1t may have this effect. Many
corporations In our own country have
worked out satisfactory profit sharing
plans. or are experimenting to that
end. A carpet company Of Yonkers
distributed $65,000 to employees last
year. A big insurance company has
inaugurated a retirement pension sys-

concern, after allowing q liberal re-
turn to capital, gives all It's surplus

plans are being tried. Beyond much
doubt these will become the universal
practice In the future, when the men
whose great ability can make huge en-
terprises successful have come to find
the higher pleasure in serving human.
ity.
Heretofore In world history human
development has been toward indi.
viduality. and this was facilitated by
everything which tended to exalt and
aggrandize self. Up to certain point
1t was necessary and good; but be.
yond that, development to the ideal
type Of man is retarded. 1t is along
the altruistic. not the egoistic, lines
that further progress must be made.
The present disposition Of directive

large Now York company. who vote
themselves each salary Of $4,000 a
year, though the stockholders would
seem to be getting nothing since de-

This kind OF profit division has always
heretofore been most in evidence. but
will not always be.
