The difference between faith and
superstition. from the Protestant
viewpoint, is given in an article writ
ten to the Denver Catholic Register
in commenting upon the attitude
taken by the Protestant ministers
when at the bedside of the dying.
The article is written by q recent
convert to the Catholic church. and.
in the course Of his comments, he
says, when Protestant minister is
asked to, pray at a dying mans bed
side. That is faith. but when a Cath
Ollie priest implores the saints in
Heaven to intercede with God for
the dying soul, that is "supersticious
ignorance"

MARSHAL Law IN SOUTH AFRICA

that marshal law has been pro-

THE BIGOTS HEART STILL
BLACK.

Last week it was pointed out in
the columns Of the Irish Standard.
that not too much faith was to be
given to the reception accorded to
the priests and nuns because Of their
gallantry. heroism and patriotism in
coming to the rescue of France In
her present tribulation. It takes
more than the political trials of q
few weeks to whiten the hearts Of
the French political bigot. The press
throughout the country are lament
ing the destruction Of the French
churches, but not the French papers.
French papers take the occasion to
commend the heroism Of the priest
soldiers. and there are many thous-
ands of them on the battlehelds of
France. but as evidence Of the atti-
tude toward the Catholic church.
When President Poincare and Pre-
mier Viviani were asked what atti-
tude the Church would take toward
peace prayers. he answered that the
French government knew no God.
and consequently the law knew no
religious observance. Thus, in spite
of what is suffering. and in spite Of
the glorious patriotism Of Catholic
citizens. priests and nuns. at heart,
the French government officials are
still bigoted and uncharitable. Her
praise is begrudged and the hearts of
her bigoted officials is as black as
ever.

CARDINAL Gl06ONS.
CATHOLIC LITERATURE DOES
GREAT GOOD.
Capuchin Fathers Inaugurate Cam
paign.
The Capuchin Fathers laboring in
Kansas have decided that Catholic
literature pave the way for the work
Of the missionary. In his mission
district Father Martin says that
many Catholic young men and
women frequent Protestant church
services. and this is not to be WON
dered ut. for their religious instruc-
ton Is 50 scanty.
Being compelled to attend the pub
lie school and having services in their
own churches perhaps but once or
twice . month and then oftentimes
only on week days. what wonder is it
that such deplorable conditions
should prevail. wonder how long it
will be before the results Of such con-
ditions will open our eyes and make
US wonder at the spiritual havoc
wrought amongst the people Of our
own religion. One need not be pes
simist to predict such results when
being confronted with such condi-
tions. 1t is indeed easy to seduce the
ignorant. but those who possess in
telligent faith stand firm in the hour
Of trial."
1t is the opinion Of Father Martin
that Catholic literature supplements
the instruction Of the priests.
ut is good for both Catholics and
non-Catholics." said the priest, "for
here in our mission district both are
in need of practical solid instruc-
ton"
The Catholic Church Extension So
ciety sent him a box of we'll chosen
books for distribution among his peo-
pie. and needless to say, the heart Of
the missionary was gladdened by
them.
The Society determined to start .
fund simply for the purchase of Cath
Ollie books, and It is called the Sister
Teresa Of the Infant Jesus Literature
Fund. Any donation sent in to the
society for this fund will be used for
the purchase Of books to be sent to
missionaries for distribution. The
society is enabled to furnish both The
Faith of Our Fathers and The Cues
ton Box for 16 cents postpaid each:
The Catholic Church From Without.
cents each; The 1nQuirer's Guide,
cents each; Polemic Chat. 10 cents
each. These are. Of course, postpaid.
1t is a plan to give everyone chance
at convert-making. for these special
books have brought many souls to
the church. The Offices Of the Catho-
lie Church Extension Society are To-
Gated In the Mccormick building,
Chicago. and any money sent into the
Sister Teresa fund will be promptly
used for doing this missionary
work.
