MAKING RESTITUTION.

We so generally understand this
phrase as referring to material things
that we are not as ready as we ought
to be to apply it to moral things as
we'll. The duty of making moral resti-
tuition is just as binding as is the duty
of making material restitution. The
hasty judgment, the mistaken impress.
sion given to others, the colored re-
port, and any other infringement upon
the truth must all be rectified just as
surely as ill-gotten material gains must
be restored. If this principle were
vitality recognized there would be less
reckless talking. Strangely enough it
is often actively religious people who
fail in this way, seemingly unmindful
of the truism that the frequent re-
ception of the Sacramento should have
for one of its, most palpable results
the elevation of the character to a
nobler plane of thinking. Not that we
are obliged to have or to express an
exaggerated estimate of the excellence
of others. Nothing is more unjust to
people than to have too good an opin-
ion of them. It leads those whom we
influence into false confidence in
them which we should be careful not
to excite. But such discretion is die
tated by the same charity that will
Withhold damaging remarks because It
springs from the same noble love of
truth. This love of the truth, like any
other faculty, can be cultivated to a
high degree making all self-defensive
specious talk hideous. The love Of
truth is the spiritual eyesight which,
like the physical eyesight, will become
diseased II exercised in darkness, and
here Is pretty incident showing how
edifying the simple admission of the
truth can be.
The congregation was getting to the
church considerably after mass had
begun, some coming in at the Preface
and even later. So many had come
during the sermon that the priest
broke 1t of to rebuke the people for
not bestirring themselves earlier and
really, it did look very bad that there
was scarcely anyone in church at the
beginning of mass and that they should
suddenly arrive in throrgs during the
sermon. The priest expressed his dis
approval very strongly. The follow
ing Sunday the congregation arrived
promptly and when the time for the
sermon came the priest simply and
quietly said, my clock was wrong last
Sunday. began mass too early. My
judgment was mistaken" How very
much better this was than bolstered

which nothing is more transparent or
estranges a following faster. And
nothing wins allegiance sooner than
plain dealing and honest speech and

CAN CATHOLICS
BE LOYAL

The following is an extract taken
from a recent sermon delivered by DR..
Washington GLADDEN., the well-known
Congregational minister, at his own
church, in reference to the wave of
Catholic prejudice now spreading over
America:
But some of you are asking ques-
ton that we often hear: Can Ro-
man Catholic be loyal to his coun-
try? It is little like asking, Can
there be sky over our heads, and
earth under our feet?' Look about
you! You know a good many Roman
Catholics. Are they not, as rule,
patriotic people? Do they not, as a
rule, obey the laws like other people,
and pay their taxes as promptly as
Professionals? Are they not ready,
when their country calls, to give their
lives in her defense? How many of
them left their bones on Southern bat
tie fields? Can Catholic be loyal
American? Did you ever hear of Will
liam T. Sherman or Philip H. Sheri-
dan? Oh, 1t is shameful to utter such
a suspicion. You can, of course, by
putting your own construction on the
Catholic doctrine, make it clear to
yourself that Catholic cannot be
loyal, but the simple question is how
does the Catholic understand it?
Every intelligent Catholic declares
that his religion requires him to be
loyal to his country; and Catholics
by the 10000 have sealed that doctrine
with their blood.
But there are good many Protest
ants who, though they may not con.
sciously adopt the policy of disfran-
chising Catholics, are disposed to do
all they can to discredit them. Their
minds are full of suspicion, they are
quick to credit any evil tale that can
be told about Catholics and not slow
to give 1t currency. It is sickening
to note the eagerness with which such
stories are welcomed and retailed. I
am speaking now of Professionals and
am saying these things because l
am Protestant, and because Protest.
antism is dishonored and deflled by
such methods of controversy. In the
name Of all that is sacred and honor.
able in the religion of my fathers /
protest against these campaigns of
calumny. To make answer as many
do, that the Catholics are equally
abusive and libelous is to descend
into the gutter. If that were true,
would it be any justification? 1t is a
pretty cheap sample Of a man who
does not hate such methods, whoever
resorts to them; but it is when they
are preached in aid of cause that is
dear to me that they become to me
doubly execrable and Infamous
then it is that with all my soul alb.
hor them.
$50 we come back to our question
and repeat the confession of our faith
that religious people can be friends
and must be friends. Professionals and
Catholics living together on this
broad continent, working together in
fields and mines and shops and stores
and Offices and factories, partners in
industrial and civil life, have got to
be friends. What other attitude will
they take toward each other but that
of friendship? Shall they hold each
other aloof, put each other under sus-
pfcion. treat each other as though
neither trusted the others sincerity?
That will never do. You cannot build

 Wherein some grains may fall.''
 It has often been said that Ameri- can working girls are as bashful as they are interesting. The majority of them are stylish and fair of face It it little wonder that they attract gIances of admiration from the oppo- site sex. It must be said. in defense of the men. that they put more heart in their gaze than they are really aware Of
 There are girls who glory in attract ing attention There are also sensitive girls who shrink from ardent ooserya- ton of men whom they pass by. If the man who openly admires Is well dressed, with an air of prosperity about him, the pretty, sensitive work ing girl is slow to believe that it is a case of love at first sight on his part. He can see by my clothes that I am poor, ! is the thought that runs in her mind file must be rich, and could get his pick of a dozen society bed1es. He might consider that I was good enough to hirt with, but there it would end I've no wish to have some one just to beau me around a bit. That isn't the way to get mar ried.'' sA
 Her wisdom is far ahead of many of her more fortunate sisters. While it is we'll to be wary and be too much of 8 lady to nfrt, 1t is not wisest and best to mfsconstrue a young mans motives. Marriageable people meet where hills and mountains don't It is the nature Of men to recognize the one intended for them when they meet. They seek an introduction. It matters not to them if the girl their heart is rich as Croesus or as poor as the proverbta1 church mouse, They will strive to woo and wed her.
 Working girls are too sensitive of. ten over having to earn thoir own Iiv- ing. They do not know that there are types Of men who admire them all the more for their industry They re- alize that a modest working girl is as true as steel and as pure as a pearl. They judge well that she is not friyo- 1ous, or sfae would not be working for her living The working girl has more advantages in a mans mind than she knows of They know where she is during the long afternoons when their business keeps them away from her She is attending to earning her liveIt- hood. On the evenings he is not there to take her out she is sewing her clothes. not parading the streets or entertaining a JoviaI crowd. Last, but not least the girl who has known poor surroundings will surely appre- ciate the comfortable home which he will give her. No matter how pretty she is he will feel secure in her love Her heart is not that of the rowing kind She will be true to him. More than one-ha1f Of our greatest men own proudly to the fact that they chose a working girl instead Of an heiress for a wife, and always had cause to con gratulate themselves upon their for tunate choice and happy home life with her.
