Sur on Single Women

There was a request published in your Corner not long ago for a song entitled, Poor Old Maids. In my opinion that song is an insult to every woman on earth. If single women are not respected only through men. no woman gets respect. There is many fine, honest girl who never got a man, and perhaps she is as well off It surely is not always the best girls who get married. No woman has to spin nowadays for a living. The news paper insults single women by calling them 'spinsters' This slur on single women is the foundation of the so-called white slavery. This world Is a great lottery and no one knows what the Sfu- ridicuie another. Above all, honest, in dustrious single women. who are in every way worthy of respect. A WOMAN"
 You are singularly unfortunate in that you evidently live in community so far behind the times that the vulgar tand thought the obsolete) prejudice against spinsters-oth wise elderly single women who prefer to remain unmarried to taking risks of unhappiness, or whose requisi- tions in the matter of possible life part ners. are high and striot--still fingers in some minds. In no part of our country of which I have Knowledge Is this preju- dice so strong that virtuous women are tempted into the ranks of fallen victims" I am amazed-and I confess shocked-in reading the assertion to this effect made by our correspondent. The hundreds of avenues opened to women in which they can work and move freely, respected and contented, are among many other agencies that have thrown down and trampled out of the sight of sensible folk the bar Tier separating the single from the welded woman, so far as popular esteem goes. The finest philanthropists of our sex who have earned the homage of the world are women who in every city and hamlet in America are rescuing the fallen. making the strong stronger and laying to the hands of the stranger and helpless employ ment suited to her ability have been and are, in an immense percentage of the mighty whole. unmarried.

verdict Of our fair-minded felloW-citi-
zen, we shall be satisfied
The blacklist evil that could darken
our fair land is religious war. 1t is
the death-knell to its glorious consti-
death-knell to its peace
and prosperity. Catholics never will
provoke religious war, never will give
to it cause or countenance. We claim
our rights to religious freedom: the
same rights we gladly recognize in our
felloW-citizens. AS we wish that they
should treat us, so will we treat them.
We respect conscience in others, as
we wish others to respect it in us.
We defend our faith, as need to de-
fend it arises-always, however, with
the arms of truth and peace-neVer
admitting rancor into our hearts, OF
fraud or deceit upon lip or pen. Let
adversaries do as they will: ours at all
times to be towards our felloW-citizens
whatever some be towards us, the true
Catholics and the true Americans.
Appeal to the Knights of Columbus
Sir Knights, be, as you wish and
profess to be, the typical layman, the
chivalry of the Church in America
and honor indisputed and indisputablt
will crown the banners of your faith
You are not the whole Catholic body
you are the leaven to penetrate ant
witty the entire mass. You are no
the whole army of the Church: yol
are it's chosen troop. With your ideal
and aspirations, put into courageou
action by yourselves and by your fel
low Catholics, the Church, in he
every stepping over the land, cor
dennis the caluminator to shame, AM
wins to herself respect and love
while, at the same time, through tn
| fidelity of her sons to those ideals, sh
redoubles hundred fold her power t

holiness of the Gospel of her Founder
the Incarnate God.

template them, to understand them so
far as their mysterious nature per-
mits. You are the apostles, the sol
diers of your faith. 1t behooves you
to explain it to others, to battle against |
errors that belle it, against miscon-
ceptions and calumnies that betray 1t. |
Are you the intelligent Catholic? Do
you adopt the means to be the intel
ligent Catholic?
The means to be the intelligent
Catholic is the sermon; the Catholic
newspaper, the Catholic periodical,
the Catholic book. Have you, per-
chance, heard of the knight, who pur-
posedly assists on Sunday morning at
a Low Mass so as to avoid the sermon
of the day? Have you heard of the
Knight whose name is absent from the
subscription list of the Catholic news
paper, whose library shelves are void
of periodicals and books of Catholic
literature? Then, you know a Knight
who is not typical Catholic.
An intelligent laity is the prime need
of the Church today, in America. The
battle is opened. 1t is a flood of con-
tradiction, of Misrepresentation, OF
calumnies. History is perverted;
Catholic doctrine is put into lying for
mulas, Catholic discipline is travestied
When the Church, as seen daily, can
not with safety be assailed, the ap-
peal is to centuries of long ago, more
unfamiliar to the reader-to remote
lands whence no contradiction may
come. The remedy is intelligence OF
all important matters concerning the
Church at home and abroad, intelli-
gence that Catholics be guarded from
poisonous incubation, and be, at the
same time, in a position to influence
public opinion in favor of truth and
Justice. The most ready arm is the
press: hence the duty of the hour is
to give generous support to the Cath
Ole newspaper, to read it, to distribute
it, supplementing it, as occasion per-
mits, with magazine and book. One
book, the summary of thousands,
especially recommend, the Catholic
Encyclopedia. 1t is the complaint of
publishers-that Catholics are not the
readers that the times require. The
typical Catholic must hurry to the
rescue.
Hence, too, the supreme interest at
tached to the question of Catholic
schools for Catholic youths. l shall
not tarry to discuss the question. Too
clear it is from unchallenged expert.
ences that the youth, outside the Cath
Ollie school, is not safe-guarded in his
faith, or forearmed to victory in the
battles that await him. 1t is the para
mount duty of the typical Catholic tC
give Catholic education to his chill
dren, and for the sake of the genera
welfare of religion, to abet and foster
with every energy of word and act
Catholic schools, Catholic colleges
Catholic universities. In this regard
l point with pride to a notable in
stance of generosity on the part of the
Knights of Columbus. May the zeal
there shown forth, abound no less al
other times and through other chan
= nels.

A Courageous Faith.

The act of faith is primarily inter
nal, elected within the private realm
of the soul. But again and again it
must be Observation-Disclosures into
open word and open act. To this in
tent your act of faith must be courage
Gus, fearless of consequences, intrepid
in enunciation. l neither counsel nor
advocate ostentation or inopportune-
ness in the profession of Catholic
faith 1t is too dignified to be trifed
with, too holy to be exposed to I'M
necessary contradiction. But never,
when circumstances order an out
spoken affirmation, must there be, by
slightest token, a refusal to profess it,
in defiance of all human respect, of
all personal loss. The courage of ones
faith is the courage of ones convic-
tons: it is a virtue which the adver-
sary himself admires, to which, l say
it with patriotic pride, the people of
America readily accord approval. 1t
is the virtue sternly commanded by
the Saviour: IF any one shall deny
Me before men, him will l deny before
My Father Who is in Heaven" The
Catholic Church is the fruitful parent
of blood-empurpled matryrdom. To
this you are not called in America
Yet even here happenings there are
and situations, where the call is to the
heroic spirit to cry out-Begone Sa
tan: God is my master and my ruler
There is the derision of things OF
your religion from the ignorant and
the Pharisee: the waving of the hand
does too much honor to the prattler
There is the chance of being put under
discussion if at a meal on Friday you
call for other food than meat, if on q
Sunday morning, amid strangers, you
enquire where and when you may heal
Mass: flush of joy should be or
your cheek as you refuse the proffereG
meat, as you set out on the way tt
the nearest altar.
There are trials more serious. Tenn
poral gain is made to bangle before
the eye in opportunities to more re
munerative labor, to higher civic O
political honor, if your name is inscrib
ed upon the roll-call of society tina
the Church has banned, if under thu
stupid watchword of liberalism yol
minimize your faith, or altogether dis
card it, in obedience to the prejudice
of the sought-for friend and patron
1t is the old temptation held out t,
the Lord Himself on the pinnacle o
the temple, whence showing Him tn,
kingdoms of the world and thei
glories, Satan said, "All these will
give Thee, if falling down Tho,
wouldst adore me-" Your reply will
be that of the Master: Begone Satan
the Lord, thy God thou shalt adore
and Him only shalt thou serve.
And there is the great trial of tn
ay-fashion-social distinction. 1t
the particular terror of women: it i
at times the terror of men. Poorer
the Catholic was safe and sound
richer, he Graves for the honors tina
go with riches: he is ambitious of ri!
ing in the world, of having his famil
rise with him, or even above hin
Now the upper world, the aristocrac
of society is largely non-Catholic. TIL
fear is that there Catholicism is NOR
or less unwelcome: then, let Catholi
faith be quiet and subdued. The aY,

Reserve Banks Asking
Lower Discount Rates

Washington, Nov. 49, Although
rediScounting operations by feder.
al reserve banks in three DAYS have
amounted to only a few million
dollars several banks already have
requested the federal reserve board
for permission to lower the rates
1t was understood the districts
asking a lower rate are in the
south and west.
The board has about concluded
not to tax federal reserve notes.
This will make them more attrac-
tive to banks who now have in
their possession quantities of emer-
gency currency and possibly clear
ing house certificates, both subject
to high taxes or interest charges.
Emergency currency and the
certificates are being retired rapid
ly, and although financial observ-
ers here say their is no need for
more circulation, banks which
give up their emergency notes to
avoid payment of further taxes
may feel the need of other notes
and the freedom of the reserve
notes from a tax may bring them
into circulation.
