PURlTANISM AND GOD.

This idea of mans liberty and merit
Gods generosity, was utterly beyond
the narrow and gloomy conception of
the Divinity introduced by the So
called Reformers, says the Register
Extension. In their zeal for the exalta-
ton of God they degraded man. He
was wholly, irretrievably bad. What
ever goodness he had was not in him
but wrapped around him as a cloak to
hide his leprosy. If he went to
Heaven it was because of Gods i'm
mutable decree irrespective of any
merit on his part; if he were con-
personal sin but because God foreor-
dained him unto condemnation.
Such a creed must of it's very ma
ture beget a gloomy fanaticism or a
self-righteous intolerance. That it did
so, is amply proved by the history
of Puritanism on both sides of the
New World with it's record of dark
and malignant intolerance. OF its
career in the Old World the murder
Gus tyranny of Cromwell is an in
structive sample. Indeed one of its
two saints, Bunyan, whom Macauley
lauds with more than his usual par
tizanship, was driven to periodical fits
of insanity by his dread that he was
preordained to. damnation, whilst on
the other hand Millions greatest poem
is characterized by an utter lack of
reverence. The author expounds the
designs of the Almighty with all the
assurance of one to whom the Eter-
nal Trinity was as familiar as his
friends of the meeting house. The God
of the Puritan was a deified Cromwell,
who smote his enemies nightly and
was not very indulgent even to His
saints. The God of love which Chris
tianity presents to the world had no
place in the gloomy Puritan concep-
ton of the Deity. And it was charac-
teristic of that creed that it showed
special hostility to the observance
of Christmas Day.

THE ROSARY WILL BRING PEACE.

"The Rosary has been called the
unlettered mans prayer-book. But it
is more than that" says the Pilot.
ut is a prayer-book for all from Pope
to peasant. Even the greatest intel
lects in the Church have told their
beads with all the loving simplicity of
the child who knows no other books
but this one of Our Lady herself.
Even the most eloquent book of pray
ers is gladly laid aside to take UP the
old Rosary that seems like part of
ones soul"
Does not the Rosary bring home to
each and every one of us the lessons
of Jesus life, says the Irish Mes
senger. In it, as we repeat with quiet
persistence the angels salutation to
Our Mother, our minds are brought
through all the scenes of His life.
From the Crib His infant voice
gently tells us that to be poor and
despised of men is not the misfortune
that the world would fain proclaim it
to be. While our minds are fixed upon
these joyful mysteries we hear Him
saying, Learn of Me because / am
meek and humble of heart" From
Nazareth He teaches us His boyhood's
lesson of gentle and unquestioning
obedience to the guidance of those
whom God has placed over us-the
truest source of peace in world that
chafes at every restraint. In the sor.
sowful mysteries He teaches us that
midst pain of body and desolation of
spirit peace can still hold sway in
the soul, Father, into Thy hands
commend My spirit" Then, as the
beads of the glorious mysteries slip
between our fingers, we realize that,
in the words of st. Paul, "The suffer
ings Of this time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory to come,
that shall be revealed in u.s." (Rom.
| viii, 49,
No wonder, then, that the Rosary,
daily recited, brings with it the spirit
of peace. Seen in the light of it's
mysteries, the troubles and trials of
life lose their terrifying power and
become invested with a wondrous
value. But this recitation must not
be perfunctory. AS we pray we must
hear Our Blessed Mother saying to us,
as long ago she said to the servitors
at the wedding feast of Cana, what
soever He shall say to you, do ye."
II this be our spirit, Jesus will not
hesitate to convert the waters of the
bitterness of life into the wine Of His
consultations This we can insure by
hearkening to the command spoken on
that spot lying between the gaunt
and barren sides Of Vesuvius and the
bright calm waters of the bay:
Spread devotion to my Rosary and
you shall find peace" Yes, spread
devotion to Our Lady's Rosary, and
not only shall we find peace for our
selves, but we shall bring peace to
others. To accomplish all this, and to
gain true love for our Rosary beads,
we have but to hearken to the words
placed by the spirit of God in the
mouth of the wise man: "My son,
bind them in thy heart continually
and put them about thy neck. When
thou walkest let them go with thee;
when thou sleepest let them keep thee,
and when thou wakest talk with
them prov. vi, 2D.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. wlNEFRiDE, VIRGIN MARTYR.

Early in the seventh century Wine,
fride, q maiden of princely birth in
the kingdom of Wales, moved by the
counsels of ST. Beuno, to whose care
she had been committed as a child,
vowed her virginity to God; and hav-
ing received the veil from his hands,
retired with certain of her COM
panions to nunnery which her father
had built for her not far from his own
house. This step excited the rage of
Caradoc, son of the king of that coun-
try, who had sought her in marriage;
he assailed her with words of re-
proach and insult, and at last, in a
paroxysm of fury, fell on her with
drawn sword, and severed her head
from her body. Then" writes the
old chronicler," where the virgin fell
there sprung up fountain of sweet
water, which bears to this day her
name; the stones of it's basin were
stained red as blood, and a fragrant
moss grew on the sides under the
stream" He tells also how the earth
opened to swallow up the wicked
prince, and how at the prayer of
Bruno his victim returned to life,
bearing on her neck the mark of her
martyrdom-a rudy seam which
traced the passage of the murderous
sword. Such is the record of the past.
But the holiness of Winefride and her
miraculous power, even in this unbe-
lieving age, are beyond dispute; for
year by year persons afflicted with all
manner of diseases and infirmities
are made sound in the we'll of the
virgin saint.
Among the more recent miracles
effected at st. Winefrides spring at
Holywell is that of a boy, eleven years
of age, son of Mr.. Lucas, of 20 We'll
lington Street, Wigan, who, about
1868, fell from crane some twenty
seven feet high. His head was so
severely injured that he became deaf
and dumb, and his speech and hearing
were pronounced by several doctors
irretrievably lost. In September, 1875,
he was brought by his father to Holy
well, and after bathing twice in the
we'll both his speech and hearing re-
turned This case was so notorious
that the inn where the boy was stay
ing with his parents was besieged by
visitors anxious to see him.

Watch your pockets, was the ad.
vice of the ribald William. "Take 1t
from me, Free Evangelical calling
himself Marten will bear watching.
May be he awiped the name, may be
he didn't: at any rate keep tab on
your swag when he's round
William, you must not speak so of
Brother Marten, you wrong him; but,
my son, il you do not care to hear
him, go down to Walstons church"
Good night" said William, with
much emphasis, though he had just
risen from the< breakfast table. "Not

your little Willie fades away. May be
I'll go to ST. Patrick's with Tom
Doran."

Willie, of course you don't mean it,
you wouldn't do such thing, you
mustn't. Father, this is your work.
forbid him, l insist, forbid him.
Billy retired hastily before his
fathers guns could be brought into
action.
Mr.. Marcy gave no evidence of
alarm. ''Tom is fine young fellow.
You may be glad to have Bill with
him, he'll never take him to any place
you need be ashamed of, you may be
sure of that"
"This is what comes of making
friends of these people. We never
should have bought house so near a
Catholic church.
What harm, have the Dorans or
the Mahoneys done US? Could we
have had better neighbors? ''
"No-no-they are as good and
kind as possible, and I wish my family
were as true to their religion as our
neighbors are to theirs, but that
makes their influence the more dam
gerous."
Nonsense" said Mr.. Marcy, they
are good people and their influence is
good, and it can't be good and bad at
once. Don't worry"
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-11-07

Mrs. Marcy felt she had reason to
worry, aside from the dangers of her
neighbours influence, for Billy was not
always with Tom Doran.
You'll be late for church IL yoll
don't start, fnotfer''--It was Evelyn,
the only daughter, and the baby Of
the family, who sWas reminding her.
Mrs. Marcy sighed as she put on her
bonnet. Evelyn was another source
of uneasiness. Evelyn had been
docility itself until Mr.. Marcy's in
validism had developed; her fathers
need gave her excuse to free herself
from the bonds the Free Evangelical
was striving to forge for her. Her
mother never dreamed that methods
Of evangelism familiar to her form Of
Achildhood were a horror to her child.
Her fathers keen intelligence was
hers, her constituencies was \ all her
own, and she resented as Dissertation
the crudeness of the personal plea to
publicly confess her sins in the prayer
meeting and turn to God, resented
with all the fire of her youth and hin
nocence being publicly prayed for as .
"wretched and sin sick soul, a soul
.ehated by God" for its hardness and
pride. s.5.4 MI
Il don't see why God should hate
me-" poor Evelyn cried to herself. Il

love Him, as Agnes and Molly do, but
they won't let me. / don't believe

tanical orthodoxy, who had enjoyed

were the breath of life, her daughters
attitude was beyond comprehension.
She asked Brother Marten to labor
with Evelyn in private, but after one
such effort Mr.. Marcy refused to per-
nit a repetition.

erations that had gone before them
were unenlightened and superstitious
idolators. From their own ranks, how
ever, there soon arose men with the
unanswerable question on their lips:
IF you refuse to accept Purgatory
from the Saints and Doctors of Rome,
what right have you to accept the
Bible from them?" This question has
always pulverized Professionalism in
the candid mind. 1t tells us why so
many Professionals are coming back to
the old Faith.

Engineer Unconscious.
Train Runs Wild a Mile

PHILLIPSBURG. Jan. 19.-Wh'le
the engineer, with a fractured skull,
was hanging unconscious from the
cab window. a freight train Of the
Lehigh and Hudson railroad which
operates on the Pennsylvania tracks
in this section, ran wild for more than
a mile yesterday. 1t was not until the
train had passed danger signal that
the fireman on the other side of the
cab, became alarmed and climbed
across the big camel-back to discover
the engineer, Harry Vessel twenty
seven years of age, apparently dead
from a deep wound in the head. The
fireman quickly brought the train to
a stop and had the unconscious engi-
neer removed 10 the Easton hospital.
The freight train which Weisel was
operating had passed 4 coal train
about mile back, and it is supposed
that Weisel was leaning out of the
cab window to watch the sand box
when his head came in contact with
some part of one of the coal cars
The road here is our-tracked, and
the freight was not running on the
passenger tracks.

FIELDER AGAINST
CALIFORNIA PLAN
Says 1t Would Produce Con-
fusion and Interfere With
Legislatures Work.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 1s.-James F.,
Fielder, who becomes governor to-
morrow, came out squarely this
afternoon against the California plan.
He did this, too. Just at the moment
when the advocates of the plan were
jubilant and were confident that the
votes for the adoption OF the new
idea by the Legislature were assured.
Up to this afternoon the SUPPOSE
ton is that while Mr.. Fielder did not
think highly of the plan, he would not
oppose it if the Legislators thought
wise to countenanee it.
This afternoon the governor-elect
threw dismay into the camp of the
California plan advocates by making
this statement in his office in the
Commercial Trust building:
"I believe it would be a mistake on
the part Of the Legislature to adopt
the so-cal.ed California plan.
Instead of granting the relief that
it's advocates claim it would give, 1
fear that it would produce confus on
and interfere with the work of the
Legislature. Under the California
plan, for instance, the time between
now and March l would be devoted
entirely to the Introduction of bills.
Now what would the Legislature who
have no bills to introduce do between
now and March l? What inducement
would they have to go down TO Tren-
ton to hear other mem bers introduce
bills?
There would be no inducement at
ali and the result would be that many
members would stay away from
Trenton and 1t would be impossible
to get a quorum. The time of the
members would in a degree be wasted
and the orderly course of the Legisla-
ture would be interfered with. l do
not believe that you could hold the
Legislature together between now
and March l. when the time for the
of the bills would cease.
IF l were a member of the Legis-
lature I would certainly vote against
the California plan.
1.-THE members OF the Legislature,
of course, will do what they think
best. 1t is not for me to dictate
what they should do. l do not be-
lieve that the advocates of the plan
have as many supporters as they
suppose they have. l have an idea
that many of the lawmakers will
consider the matter long before they
give their consent to the proposition"
Governor ELECT Fielder's stand to-
day, coupled with the fact that the
incoming Governor intended to be
the Democratic State leader as we'll
as Governor, is regarded by many
this afternoon as sign that the
California plan is doomed, and that
even If the Assembly should give it's
the plan would surely be
stopped in the Senate.

CALF ORN|A PLAN
SURE OF PASSING
Little Doubt That judiciary
Committee Will Act Favor
ably on 1t Tonight.
Especial to the Newark start

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 19.-There
seems to be little doubt that at to-
nights session of the judiciary COM
mittee of the Assembly, called for
seven o'clock, the resolution offered
by Asemblyman Walter L. McDer-
mott, eInbodying the California
plan of legislative procedure, viii be
favorably passed upon and reported
to the House for final action.
Mr.. McDermott expresses conf
dence In the adoption of the resolu-
ton. He Is In receipt Of numerous
letters and kilograms from all parts
of the State commencing the plan
and his action in the matter.
IT have yet to find a single plausible
argument against the proposed sys-
tenn" says tho Hudson assemblyman.
Anybody who criticizes the plan is
under the burden of showing that 1t
will be worse than the chaotic, in
efficient and costly legislative pro-
ceedings of recent years. If the Cal
ifornia plan has some defects the
present system has scandalous de-
fects.
1.-THE California plan is a genuine
reform. 1t. ought to be tried. The
period of rest-that is, the proposed
recess during the month Of March
would result In the elimination OF
many useless bills and produce dis
cussion and investigation that would
prevent the duplication of acts, as has
occurred at every session. 1 look for
the passage OF the resolution and it
would not surprise me IL the vote
were unanimous"
From assurances received from the
House members by Mr.. McDermott,
the indications are that there will be
no serious opposition to the .resolu-
ton. Many members who were In
clined to vote against it for one rea-
son or another are now openly favor
ing it. All the Hudson delegation will
go on record for the adoption of the
resolution and a canvass of the Essex
members discloses the fact that they,
too, think well of the proposition.
Mr.. McDermott, who has been In
communication with all the members
of the House, Republicans as well as
Democrats, is perfectly satisfied with
the situation. He is confident nc
serious objections can be made
against the resolution.
