] Again we read, ASK now the beasts
and they will teach thee; and the
birds of the air and they will tell
thee, Speak to the earth and it will
answer thee, and the fishes of the sea
shall tell. Who is ignorant that the
hand of the Lord hath made all these
things?" dob XII, 7-9).
"The heavens show forth the glory
of God; and the armament declareth
the work of His hands" Cps. VXIII, u.
So we can know, we ought to know,
that there is GOD. Most men are
not able to give very good account
of the proofs of Gods existence They
know it, they are sure of it, they can
not think a man serious who says it
must be proved to him before he will
believe it. They always knew it; it
was taught to them at their mothers
knee; they are not able to doubt it,
any more than they can doubt of
mother love- 1t is surely good thing
to have this simple firm childlike be-
lief. But it is still better to strength
en- it by the knowledge that comes
from study and thought. And today
it is important for Us all to be able to
give reasons for the faith that is in
us. We cannot all be great philos-
ophers or great theologians; but we
can at all events have something more
than a child's knowledge of the cate
chism. We can look into the answers
to those first questions of the cate
chism:-Who made the world? Who
made you? Who is God? After all,
the deepest and the soundest philoso-
ply is just plain common sense speak
ing correct language. And our cate
chism gives us the highest human wis
dom as we'll as the revealed truths of
the Gospel. We ought to know what
we believe and why we believe it. The
knowledge is useful and even neces-
sary to ourselves, especially now
when so many things tempt .us
first to offend God, athen to forget
Him, and finally, perhaps, to doubt or
to deny His existence. 1t may be, too,
that Almighty God intends that you or
get the opportunity to speak help
full word that will set some wandering
benighted soul on the road that leads
to the truth. Let that word be ready
on our lips when the hour comes.

forgiveness and remission of all our
sins and trespasses; and that we may
obtain from Him further, through thy
supplication, the perpetual occupation
of the heavenly kingdom, through the
eternity of life, in presence of the

world; which may we deserve, may we
occupy, forever and ever. Amen.

Trade With Possessions.

The question is always asked by the
material Americans, Does il pay; do
get value received from these enterprises,
commercially valuable to u.s. Porto Rico
and the Philippines are wholly different
propositions. and must be treated sepa-
rateIy Roughly speaking. however, it
can be said that with our own possessions
We have reciprocal trade relations, which
means that the bulk of the products of
the countries concerned is sold in the
United States and the bulk OF their pur-
cnases are made in the United States.
and the balance of trade is not very great
for or against any Of these dependencies.
The advantage of owning these
countries from which we buy our
tropical products is that we have
reciprocal trade relations with them
and other articles which they use in
stead of sending their money abroad
with which to purchase foreign made
goods. Thus the annual imports and
exports from the Philippine Islands to
The United States are about equal
whereas with almost all South Anleri-
can countries the balance of trade is
largely To our disadvantage aggre-
