WRONG 10 SHRINK FROM PAIN
Eminent English Divine Points Out
How Its Action 70 for the eensat
Of Az Mankind.

An address dwelling upon the value
and benefits Of pain was delivered b.
Doctor 1nge, dean Of st. Paul's. at the
annual meeting Of the Southwark
branch Of the Charity Organization SO
ciety, says the London Globe.
"A revolt against pain" he salG, sis
one Of the most prominent features in
our life at the present time. We dis
ike the very thought of pain as our
ancestors did not dislike it, and we
shrink from inflicting it even with good
reason. The recollection of pain suf-
tered Is q safeguard; and in other ways
pain is the best efectual means that
could be devised to protect us against
various dangers.
TT is quite clear that God does not
consider death to be an evil or an in
Justice. and it is equally clear that he
intended his creatures to suffer pain.
Pain 10 q condition that Is most pre-
cious In this world. Would mother
hood be what it IL without pain and
self-sacrihce? Would pity and charity
have any scope in q painless world?
Would . world in which no one de-
served pain be moral world at all?
I'VE must not shirk pain, for it is in
itself beneficial and part of Gods or
dering Of the world. It IL great puri-
fer; we cannot get rid of moral evil
without it. Where pain ends gain ends.
Success is rooted in apparent failure.
and in the highest pleasures there is
always an undernote of pain"

PapaI Coins.

The first Pope to issue coins was
Adrian I, who assembled the Papal
throne in I'll. The coins Of Europe
were then largely modelled on those
of the Byzantine Empire, whose gold
byzants were in general use. The
coin of Pope Adrian was of this class,
says the Catholic Record Of London,
Ont. It showed full face portrait,
presumably Of ST. Peter. on the OBJ
verse, surrounded by the inscription:
"Hadrianus p. p" and the cross on
the reverse, very much after the style
of the Byzantine pieces.
Many of the earlier Papal coins
bear the inscription of the reigning
Pope, and representation of either
st. Peter or st. Paul. It was not
until later that the portrait of the
reigning Pope became a characters.
tic Of these coins. ..u-
A gold scudo of julius II. may here
be mentioned, the design of which is
credited to Francis, a celebrated
metal worker of the time, which
shows finely engraved portrait of the
Pope with the inscriptions: Julius
P0ntifex Maximus."
A coin of Alexander VII, attributed
to Paolo, has on the reverse the cross.
ed keys and crown. This is said to
be the first Papal coin to bear this
device.
The greatest value of the series Of
Papal coins and medals is that II
forms metallic history of the Popes
since the eighth century and contains
the only authentic portraits in exist
ence Of many Of them. u
They have Of course, a special in
terest for the numismatists, but like
everything pertaining to the Holy See
have a still deeper and wider interest
for the student and the historian.

The case In question arises out Of
the death Of Father Wirth, a member
of the order Of Saint Benedict, founded
about 525, A. d. At the time of hi.
death in 1901, he was in charge o.
the German Catholic church al
Springfield, MINI.
Nearly so years before his death
he took the VOWS of charity, poverty
and obedience in the Benedictine So
ciety. He was then % years old. Thu
effect of the vow of poverty was tina,
all right of possessing property on hit
part was transferred to the order, ant
that the order, on its part became
obligated to educate, maintain and
support him for life.
Father With became a member Of
the st. Vincent Mission of Westmore
land Co., Pa, in 1916. Later he was
made prior Of monastery In Kansas
and about 1897 sent to Minnesota
During his life he had become such
an honored member that his superior
permitted him to retain in his pos
session certain property. At the time
of his death, he was in possession
OF some 5000, in addition to royal.
ties from books he had written.
The Probate Court Of Brown Co.,
Mimi, recognized his heirs as entitled
to the property. After series OF
contests with the order, the heirs sue
ceeded in getting a decision from
the United States circuit court to the
effect that the vow of poverty was
against public policy and therefore
void. The heirs were held entitled to
the property.
Approximately $1,000 priests, broth
ers and nuns will be affected by the
decision, and 1t is probable that the
title of the orders to their churches,
colleges, school houses, hospitals and
sanitoriums in practically every state
in the union may be drawn into ques.
ton.
In the application for the Supreme
Court to review the decision attorneys
for the order stated that If the de-
cision was carried out to its full ex-
tent, it might eventually dissolve and
disintegrate the temporal organiza-
ton of those orders.

Judament by FaIth.

SSSusSsss ~
Judge not by deeds and things, take
the good heart and the good motive
on trust. Believe in it, affirm it.
To affirm a thing is literally to make
1t firmer. To glorify the good self of
another is to set going the machinery
by which goodness manifests.
When others believe US good. or
wise. or lovely, we catch the vibration
by thought transference and begin to
believe in ourselves as true, beautiful
and good. And whatsoever things we
believe in we think upon, and we be-
come like that which we think upon.
Also we. act accordingly.
II you want to see beauty in this
world, just believe in those about you.

The President and Free Tolls.

In the matter of the Panama Canal
tolls, the presidents power over con-
gress will be subjected to a severe

only to undo action recently taken, but
to repudiate the Baltimore platform.
In the senate the original provision
was sustained by a 4 to / vote; in
the house by about to l..
After the president finished the
reading of his message to congress,
Senator Chiffon of West Virginia,
seized upon the first opportunity to
introduce bill to repeal the toll sec.
ton of the canal act. This bill was
referred to the committee of which
Senator O'Gorman is chairman, who.
after giving the subject careful
thought, issued a statement in which
he says:
Il yield to no one in respect for the
presidents motives or patriotism, and
l withhold my approval of his recon.
mendation with regret. Believing his
proposal unwise. unnecessary, and
destructive of the best interests of
the American people, my duty as a
Senator of the United States offers me
no alternative but resistance to the
proposed repeal.
