water with which you refresh them

Here was hard task, but Lot did
not question it's justice. Every morn

But when the beggar's thirst was

Then Lot threw himself down, buried
face in the sand and wept. When

MISSING MASS
(From the Pilot)

During these summer months there
will be many closed churches about US.
Needless to say, no Catholic church
will be closed. There is the same God
to worship in summer as in winter,
the same religious duties to be per-
formed, the same commandment of
the Church to be observed as to hear
ing Mass on Sundays and holy days
of obligation. And all this under pain
of mortal sin. That is such a plain
duty that it needs no calculation.
Yet there are some Catholics who
affect to believe that they are an ex-
ception to this common, ordinary rule
of life. They seem to breathe in some
Of the irreligion about them, they be-
come infected with the spirit which
turns it's back on religious worship,
when it entails some personal sacri-
fee, and just as SO many of the nom
Catholic churches close up for the hot
months. SO do they follow the exam.
pie and close their hearts tight against
God in order that they may indulge
their personal comfort.
Hence the case with which so many
Catholics seek to satisfy their con-
science when they miss Mass during
the summer. It may be for Sunday
outing, when they will start early in
the morning, and never give a thought
to the duty Of giving to God the wor-
ship He requires; it may be for the
weeks vacation, while they prevail
upon themselves that, since it is q
time of bodily recreation, no thought
need be given to Mass for that one
Sunday. Indeed, there are some who
will go away for the entire summer,
bury themselves in place miles dis
tant from a Catholic church and never
once go to Mass. And all this in spite
of the warnings given them that 1t is
mortal sin to miss Mass in summer
as in winter.
And what makes 1t more criminal
is the fact that it is unnecessary. In
this vast country the places Of vaca-
ton have been multiplied without end.
There are thousands of delightful re-
sorts adapted to every purse and to
all sorts Of people; resorts that are
handy to the Catholic church or chapel
where Mass is said on Sunday.
And apart from the question of sin.
there is another consideration that
ought to influence Catholics in the
choice Of q place of vacation. No
Catholic wishes to die without the
priest. No one knows when serious
illness will come. and With 1t the ur.
gent need Of confessing and receiving
the last rites Of the Church. And
what a terrible thing It must be for
one to face death in a place where he
himself made It impossible for the

FOR EVERYDAY CATHOLICS
The Pope tells US that all Catholic
forces should be directed with the
greatest constancy and energy" to the
solution Of social problems.
"All'' Catholic forces You, my Ca
tholic reader, are Catholic force, and
for your cooperation the Catholic
Church is waiting. Be you man or
woman, worker with head or with
hand, you can give something to the
cause-something which others can.
not give.
You realize, no doubt, how much
these social questions-sweated labor,
wages, housing, employment. care of
children. and the rest-are bound up
with the Kingdom of God and the in.
terests of immortal souls. How much
of our leakage from the Faith is due
to social conditions? How many PEG.

things cannot be put right unless we

not with good conscience leave it to
the politician-or the priest.
"But what can l do?" you may ask.
II mnot learned, and l have few
opportunities of influencing Others"
I answer that you cannot help in
fuencing others. Public opinion (the
chief engine of reform) is made up of
units; it is shaped by the thoughts and
actions Of people like yourself. At all
events, see that your thoughts are
true and your actions straight; let
your influence be Christian influence,
Catholic influence. How often you
join in talk about the events and
questions of the day-about strikers
and legislation and trade unions and
syndicalism and the working classes
and property. What do you know
about these things? You get your
opinions from your newspapers or
from the people round about you. Do
you ever ask whether the Catholic
Church has anything to say about
these matters? Do you try to find out
what her teaching is? If you would
do so, people would listen to you.
They would say: "This man knows
what he is talking about. He has
principles, and does not talk at ran
DOM" They might not agree with you
at first-but they would listen to you
with respect IL they were honest, and
the truth would do its work. For the
Catholic Church has the truth in these
matters. Her teaching has stood the
test of time. She has the Rock of
Truth beneath her feet."-Rev.
Charles Platter, s. J.. M. A., in Inter-
mountain Catholic.

Getting Sick a Sport
Raging in Trinidad

Down in Trinidad the City Council has
petitioned Colonel Lockett, in charge of
the United States troops, for permission
to reopen the saloons, as the sport of
chasing for bighball or other liquid
elixirs has become too exciting for the
denizens of that coal camp. The saloons
are actually closed for the first time in
the history of the town, and trying to
pry them open is about as healthy Job
as seeking to advise Huerta TO abdicate
the throne of Mexico. But even federal
troops cannot adopt a rigid rule to pre-
vent sickness, and the number OF people
in Trinidad who need prescriptions has
grown alarming. If you want a drink
OF booze it is necessary to get sick. Call
on friendly NJ. d. and get prescription
indicating your favorite beverage. Then
submit this precious document at mill
tary headquarters, where the commander
gives it the once over. If Colonel Lock-
ett puts his o. X. on the paper it passes
muster at any emporium where beer or
whiskey can be obtained. Sometimes he
decides castor oil or salhepatica would
be better, and so designates on the pre-
scription, Notwithstanding the fact he is
not licensed to practice medicine in Col.

necessary qualifications--whic qualifi-
cations we insisted should consist of a
knowledge of typewriting and stenogra-

clared we'd take what they offered or
