ment that a capacity house gives, and
the proceeds from the affair should be

large enough to be of substantial bene-
fit to the association. The club is one
of the best known in the community
and those who heard its concerts at
the Watch Tower during the summer
will welcome this opportunity to again
hear so splendid an organization. The
members of the club give their serv-
ices gratis as a means of assisting in
the charity work of the city. Local
men compose the club and the inter
est of the city is theirs. The tenta-
tive program shows excellent oppor
tunity for the giving of the best that
the club is capable and with the splen-
did array of soloists the concert should
be one of the finest given here for
many a day. The object is worthy of
the support of the people and the con-
cert of their patronage.

istines and Israelites we're at war and
the giant Goliath threatened to throw
a panic among the followers of King
Saul, to the time Saul died and David
was proclaimed King. The versatility
of the character of David is brought
out very strongly in the play. The
material grandeur of the man, his
prowess as the slayer of Goliath, his
achievements as a leader of his peo-
pie, all of which are softened by the
simple faith of the poet and dreamer
who is gentle and unassuming as the
sheep of his. flock.
Large Cast and Chorus.
Mr. William Farnum, who will play
the part of David in the coming pro-
duction, is aptly suited to the role,
and his performance in the play prom
ises to be one of the achievements of
his interesting career. Other we'll
known players who will appear in the
production are Mr.. Robert McWade,
Mr. Edward Mackay, Mr.. Wells
Knibloe, Miss Edna Archer Crawford
and Miss Virginia Hadley. In addi-
tion to the large cast there will be a
chorus of forty voices and ballet of
sixteen people to sing and dance the
old scriptural music that has been
added to the original manuscript of
the play.
1t is said the production of "The
Shepherd King" will be the most stu
pendous production ever given by a
professional company under private
auspices, in New York.

CATHOLICISM NO MENACE.

hatred out of which such mad pa
pers and orators arise
"To me it will seem that the Cath
olic Church is not so much a menace
as it is challenge. 1t challenges
the entire Protestant church to
awaken and become greater power
for good in the lives of men. 1t bids
the various denominations to work
together in harmony for the kingdom
of God and put aside all pickering and
jealousy.
''It calls to the Protestant church to
rival it in good works. It tells the
Protestant church that it will never
fulfill its mission until it can give
greater inspiration through it's teach
ings than the Catholic Church gives
through it's doctrines and it's sacra-
ments.
"It asks Prostestants not to forget
that the Catholic Church is the
Mother Church Of Christendom and
has fulfilled great mission in the
world in spite of many failings.
"And it has it's challenge for the
free man in religion. It bids him to
prove his greater, nobler faith by
nobler, greater works. 1t tells him
that the liberal who is Indifferent to
his greater faith is less to be respected
than the loyal worshipper who bows
before some humble shrine by the
wayside.
IF we believe in a God of love who
needs no atonement, but Who is ever
ready to forgive, we should show
forth contrite hearts worthy of for
giveness. And, finally, Catholicism
bids us to strive in love and truth for
the truly Catholic, the universal
church, in which there is place for
all who struggle and aspire, for all
churches and denominations, heretics
and orthodox.
eff we are members of the true
universal church, we shall never see
any menace in any church that tries
to lead men into a higher and better
life, little matter if her truth be not
truth to u.s.

PR|NCELY GIFT
CANON SIMoNES OF STRASBURG
DONATES PROPERTY FOR SUP
PORT OF CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

An important Catholic charitable
foundation has just been erected ac-
cording to law, in Alsace-Lorrain, by
decree of the Emperor William, who
has approved the statutes. 1t is only
by accident that it has become known
that the anonymous donor of this
munificent gift is a priest. The ad-
ministration of the foundation is CIV
en- to a committee over whom the
Bishop of Strasburg will preside, and
it's end is the support of various Cath
olic charities. The foundation is COM
posed of property in the Rue st. Leo,
Strasburg, which brings in an annual
income of some $4,000 marks. This
property is the patrimony of Mon
signor Paul Muller Simones, Canon
Prebendary of the Cathedral of Stras-
burg and a director of the works of
charity of the diocese. He is the
anonymous donor of the foundation
described. Four thousand marks
yearly have been allotted for the cen
trail diocesan Office of works of char
ity In one of the buildings of the
estate has been installed the editorial
and printing offices of a Catholic jour
nal, "Elsaesser." Another portion of
the revenues is placed at the disposi.
tion of the Bishop for the assistance
of poor pupils of the little seminary,
and for the higher education of theo-
logical students. Not content with this
generous gift Monsignor Muller 81
mones, who is a stanch advocate of
the Catholic press, is now organizing
a Catholic association to aid in the
development and circulation of the
Catholic press.

union with so many who were dear to
them on earth. This belief that we
shall see our loved ones in heaven is
very consoling one and, while there
is no definite statement of it in so
many words in the Bible, it neverthe-
less follows from the Churchs teach
ing in regard to the joys of heaven
which are the portion of the blessed.
Since they see God face to face they
must needs know and love all the citi-
zens of His kingdom. The love of our
brethren, therefore, is a necessary
consequence of the love of God The
unity for which Christ prayed will
then be perfectly realized: THAT they
all may be one, as Thou Father in me,
and 1 in Thee; that they also may be
one in Us" John xvii: 21

Perhaps he still might save it,
Or stem the gushing tide,
But see! an empty kettle
No drop remains inside.
In haste he clears the form-wall,
And sees and will not see
The bell, complete and perfect,
From spot or blemish free.
On the floor the boy is lying,
He'll keep the watch no more,
Oh master! savage masteri
Thy blow was all too sore.
Before the judge he hastened,
And straight his guilt confessed;
With sorrow for the upright man
The judge was sore oppressed.
But nobody can save him
For blood will cry for blood;
He hears his own death sentence
With calm and fearless mood
Upon the fatal morning,
Fer they led him forth to death,
They brought the choicest dainties
For his last, last meal on earth.
81 thank thee" spoke the master,
My worthless good and true,
But there is yet one kindness
My heart desires of you.
Let me but hear, pray thee,
The sound of the new bell,
Twas who made it ready,
Would judge if I did WELL"
His last request was granted,
It seemed a little thing,
And as they led him forth to die
The bell began to ring.
The master heard it sounding,
So full, so pure, so clear,
That down his cheek, perhaps for io,
There stole a silent tear.
And then his face grew radiant
With light no grief could dim,
For more than music of the bell
Came floating down to him.
He bowed before the headsman,
With courage calm and brave,
For Hope had come to brighten
The threshold Of the grave.
So Of all the bells he founded,
This is the roof and crown,
The bell of Magdelana,
In ancient Breslau town.
From that day by the people
It was named the Sinners Bell"
If so 'tis called these newer times,
God knows I cannot tell.

been seen previously in the flesh
and therefore we affirm that ghosts
or spirits are sometimes actually pres
ent in a room; their presence being
signified by the rattle of chairs or
tables or by the violent movement of
beds and other articles of furniture.
And while frequently at spiritualistic
seances much fraud is practiced, lean
not doubt but that there is often be-
yond dispute the actual presence of
evil spirits with whom the spiritual
istic mediums have entered into COM
munication."
Doubling Thomas.
Now your correspondent is doubt
ing Thomas in all these matters not
withstanding the firm faith of Mon
signor Benson. And as there is a
haunted house in the suburbs of Lon
don we mean to put the ghost theory
to a very severe test. We will oc-
cupy bedroom in this house for one
night, bringing with us reporter 8
note book, a policeman's dark lantern
and an Iver Johnson, 38-calibre. If
the ghost becomes unruly, we will
make him dance a Montana two-step
to the tune of leaden pellets. On the
other hand if he acts as a gentleman
we will interview him on extra-stellar
affairs, and send the interview to the
press. We intend to give the ghost a
square deal. And if, like the gallant
Englishman who died in quest of the
pole, we are borne away into realms
of impalpable ether, let it be known
to the readers of The Catholic Bulletin
that I'VE. did our best to the very last.
