GREETED having made. He agreed
to pay all the costs of the suit and
have his retraction published in
the newspapers. Father Sheehan
accepted this disposition of the
case because his primary object
was to vindicate his character and
not to get damages.
Whitaker made the mistake of
many another bigot whose career
of SANDER ended in court of law.
He failed to make "a full investi-
CATION" of the charges before
spreading them broadcast. In
future he will be slow to believe
rumors and slower still to spread
them-a lesson which could be
profitably learned by others Of his
class.

THE CELTIC CROSS IN CATH,
OLIC CEMETERIES.

The monuments we place over
the graves Of our dead ought to
express and symbolic our Cath,
Ollie faith and hope. The Celtic
Cross is admirably fitted to dc
this. It is a regrettable fact, how
ever, that we rarely see the Celtic
Cross in our cemeteries in some
parts Of this country. Instead
we too often see monuments that
have but little power to suggest
appropriate thoughts to the Cath
Ollie who visits Gods Acre.
The cross is the symbol of our
redemption and of the divine
love, goodness, power and wis,
dom displayed in that wonderful
mystery. It is the standard be-
meath which we fight the battles
of God against the enemies Of our
salvation. It gives us strength
and courage to work and to suffer
for Christ. By this sign we shall
conquer.
The cross over the Christian
grave is the noblest Of trophies
The flag above the soldiers grave
tells Of his loyalty unto death, and
of the deathless memory Of his
heroism in the heart Of his coun.
try. The cross above the Chris.
tan grave is the mute petition
that Christ in His Kingdom re,
member His fallen soldier. And
as the flag Of the dead warrior
stirs the hearts Of the survivors
to heroic loyalty, so, too, the cross
in the graveyard breaches to us
the gospel Of self-sacrifice for the
love of Jesus Christ. 1t expresses
our hope and our prayer for the
dead, and it tells us how to live
in this world so that we, too, to
gether with them, may one day
rise frop the grave unto life
eternal in heaven.
The Celtic Cross has all these
meanings, too. Entwined round
it's shaft and arms is the circle
the symbol of eternity, of the per
feet unending life which Christ I
death on the cross won for man
kind. It is usually adorned with
sculptured representations Of
scenes from sacred history, OF
with the wonderfully beautiful
tracery-work of Celtic art, show
ing that the cross is the synthesis
of all sacred history, and thai
human genius is never so well EN-
ployed as in the service of thu
cross.
The Celtic Cross has a simple
gracefulness, a majesty and ;
solemnity that make it peculiarly
appropriate as a monument o'el
the dead. Viewed merely as ;
work of art it appeals to all re

PUTTING THE LID ON
SLANDERERS.

Nothing brings a character-as
sassin to time so quickly as a
touch of the law. If there is any
thing that kills the activity of a
slanderer and neutralizes his
efforts it is to bring him before
the court and ask him to prove his
assertions. In nine cases out of
ten he whiningly throws himself
on the mercy of the one whose
reputation he would destroy.
We have already noted several
instances of this in these columns.
We take pleasure in recording
another, because we believe that
too much publicity cannot be
given to cases in which threat
of legal action has brought a
bigot to his senses.
Some time ago one Ernest
Whitaker of Coudersport, Pa.
made statements rejecting on the
character of Rev. d. S. Sheehan
of that city, as a citizen and a
priest, and was promptly called to
account for it. After the case had
been entered for trial, the defend.
ant begged for mercy and, on Sep
TENDER s, signed a retraction in
which he admitted that he
had repeated slanderous rumors
against Father Sheehan, and
declared that. after full in
vestigation, he had reached the
conclusion that there was no truth

tions for senator are subject to the
same conditions as are those for con.

Here is a goodly array of laws, ap-
proving confiscation, destruction of
personal and corporate liberty; and
unwarranted interference with reli.
gion. These laws show conclusively
just how much blame can be laid upon
the Church for the state Of affairs in
Mexico.

1t is the duty of all who believe
i'll God to pray for peace. Never
before, perhaps, was there greater
need of earnest and persevering
prayer to the Almighty God that
He bring about cessation of hos
tilities and restore peace to the
warning nations of Europe. Next
Sunday has been designated as a
day of special prayer for this pur-
pose. This does not mean that
our prayers for peace should be
confined to single day. They
should not cease as long as Mars
stalks the earth and demands his
tribute of the life-blood of ma.
tions.

others converts. y Every Protes-
tant church is labeled "Iglesia
Evangelical, and the name of it's
sect appears more obscurely below
the general placard. All this in
pursuit Of a scheme of division Of
the work in hand. Mr.. Grow
writes:
Under this agreement the
Methodist Church is responsible
for the evangelization Of the is
land of Luzon to the north Of
Manila, with the exception Of
the province Of Union, which is
occupied by the mission of the
United Brethren, and Of the Ilo-
cano and Mountain provinces,
which it shares with other mis-
sions. The Christian mission works
in the nocano and Cagayan prov
inces as well as in and about Ma
Mia. The Presbyterian mission has
for it's field the country south Of
Manila on Luzon and some of the
Visayan islands, the other islands
being occupied by the Baptist mis-
sion. In Mindanao two missions are
maintained by the Congregational
Church and the Christian and Mis-
sionary Alliance Of New York.
Other missions, notably Of the
Episcopal Church, are stationed in
the islands, and although all do
not belong to the evangelical
union, all work in harmony with
it."
The upshot of all this arrange
ment is the presence, in the
islands, Of 159 Protestant mission
aries, and the distribution of
about two million Bibles. And
this in country avoWedly Chris
tian!
Mr.. Grow thinks that little has
actually been accomplished by all
these ministers, however, and he
calls attention to their methods in
manner which amounts to an
Indictment:
"The missionaries take no pains
to conceal the fact that they are
attempting to break down the
power of Rome and many of
them keep alive the old stories
about the viciousness Of the friars.
These stories were doubtless al
ways exaggerated, and are GER
tainly not descriptive Of condi-
tons which exist today"
The solemn irony of this 'mis-
sionary" work in a Christian and
Catholic country is best seen in
the unchurched millions through
out the length and breadth of our
land is best heard in the filth and
the blasphemies which fall from
the tongues Of the callow street
youths Of our great cities; and is
best felt in the increase Of crime
and immortality which we hear de-
plored on every side. Why not
give a little attention to the prob
lens of our own country? Oh,
but that would not, down Rome |!

Catholics who cannot be pres
ent at the public recitation of the
rosary in church should make it
a practice to say the beads pri-
vately. In every Catholic home
the rosary should be recited in
common at some convenient time
before retiring. There are few
sights more edifying than to be-
hold the father and mother, sur
rounded by their children, en-
gagged in the recitation of family
prayers before retiring. This GUS
tom consecrates the home in a
special manner to God and calls
down innumerable blessings upon
its inmates.

Natures Response.

The corn and wheat crop of America
this year is the most valuable ever
harvested. Preliminary estimates
just announced by the Department OF
Agriculture are to effect that the i'm.
portant farm crops of the United
States this year are worth $5,06s,7 42, :
900, or s104 100000 more than the
value of the same crops last year,
Notwithstanding a loss of s415.000,000
sustained by cotton planters on lint
alone as a result of the European
war. The potato crop is the second
largest ever raised. The huge wheat
crop and the increased price of that
cereal, the large corn and apple crops
and the increased price Of oats. barley
and rye more than offset the big loss
in the value Of the cotton crop result
ing from the war.
In other words, the chief crops OF
this country return for each man, wo-
man and child of the United States;

person during the next year. Thus
