DR.. RYAN ANSWERS HILLOUIT

The Socialist will say that these re-
form proposals do not go far enough.
That is not the question involved in
Hillquits amazing assertion. He de-
clares that the Church is utterly
against the common people, and en-
tirely in favor of their oppressors.
When l read Mr.. Hillquit's "indict-
ment" of the Church in manuscript
first, | was inclined to be indignant
at his uncalled for incursion into this
field, especially since the space at my
disposal in the magazine rendered an
adequate reply out of the question.
On second thought, | am glad that he
wrote these pages. For they will be
taken by the great majority of intel
ligent and unprecedented readers as
the strongest possible proof of the I'M
fairness, ignorance, and bigotry of So
cialism,-that is, on the assumption
that Mr.. Hillquit's views are fairly
representative. He has simply over
reached himself in this ''arraign-
ment."
Moreover, he has given very peril
nent proof of the real attitude of So
cialist leaders toward the Church.
From man who feels thus, Catholics,
whether within or without the Social
list movement, cannot expect anything
| like fair treatment, or fair regard for
| their religious beliefs and sentiments.
Even you, who are not religious I'M
| believer, and who are fair-minded
/ oh ho VII
expressed by Mr.. Hillquit in these
amazing paragraphs. Do you blame
us priests for trying to keep our people
out of a movement which regards us
and our Church in this light? Are we
wrong in maintaining that the move
ment is an active force against us and
our interests?
| am sorry that | cannot refer you
to some single work in which all the
assertions of Mr.. Hillquit's ''indict-
ment' would find adequate reply. No
such book has been written, for the
reason that no opponent of any i'm
portance has ever before been suffi-
GENTLY reckless to put down in one
place all the extraordinary charges
that Hillquit has gathered into his
articles In the Catholic Encyclo-
pedia" you would find most of them
answered under different heads. For
example, you might look up the sub
ject of slavery in that work. 1t is in
the public libraries.
Another good work, in addition to
Tabrun's, on the religious beliefs of
scientists, is Kneller's "Christianity
and the Leaders of Modern Science
Trusting that what l have written
may not prove altogether useless to
you, and thanking you for your fair
ness, | am,
Very truly yours,
JOHN A. RYAN.
P. S. Concerning Hillquit's state
ment about the primitive Christian
community at Jerusalem, l would note
that it's community of goods was OPP
tional for the individual members,
and that the arrangement lasted only
short time.

CATHOLIC PRESS HOUR.

l note with pleasure, says a
writer in the Michigan Catholic,
that several of our schools have
adopted the 'SCatholic Press
Hour" in their study halls each
week, This is move in the right
direction and one that would have
added to the success of pupils if
introduced years back. Catholic
young men and women should be
on current Catholic
news. 1t is well that they should
be made acquainted with the
growth of the Church at home

THE MONTH OF ST. JOSEPH.

In the calendar of the ecclesias-
teal year the month of March is
dedicated to st. Joseph, the foster
father of the Saviour, and the
chaste spouse of the Immaculate
Virgin. His exalted position as
the earthly guardian and protec-
tor of the Son of God entities him
to special place of honor in the
hierarchy of the blessed. The
Church has always honored him
as one of the greatest saints; and
frequent and fervent are the pray
ers breathed forth before his
throne by her devout children.

|RELAND's PATRONEss
NEXT TO ST. PATRICK, THE IRISH
REVERE ST. BRIDGID-THE
STORY OF HER LIFE.

The faithful Catholic children of
Erin, next to God, revere st. Patrick,
their great Apostle, but there is an
other Saint who is placed high in the
affections of the warm-hearted Irish
race.
st. Bridgid was born in Foehard,
Ulster, in 453, and during her baby
hood, according to tradition, her
father, in vision, saw sacred un-
gent being poured on her-a proof of
sanctification. She was very beautiful,
and fearing that she might be COM
PEELED to relinquish her desire to con-
secrate herself, she prayed to God that
He would take away her good looks
Her petition was granted, and she be-
came so ugly that no one ever sought
her in marriage. When about twenty
years of age, she informed st. Mel,
a nephew of st. Patrick, that she had
resolved to consecrate her life to God
st. Mel received her VOWS according
to the rites introduced by st. Patrick,
her habit being of a white color with
white cloak, and by miracle the
Saint recovered her former beauty
ST. Bridgid was joined by several
other ladies, and they decided to
found a religious home for themselves
The first convent in Ireland was
shortly afterwards formed, with the
Saint as it head. The fame of her
sanctity spread throughout Ireland,
and she was beseiged by applications
for admission to her monastery. The
bishops also encouraged the Saint in
her crusade for souls, and monster
les soon spread over the land. The
province of Connaught soon had
rival in Leinster, a deputation from
which urged her to take up her resi-
dence in that province, and st. Bridgid
consented. Accompanied by number
of Sisters, the Saint reached Kildare,
where they formed new community.
Their coming created a new area for
the poor, who we're provided for by
the Sisters, and on one occasion even
the sacred vestments we're sold for
food for the hungry. Her generosity
to the poor and her piety drew null
titudes to Kildare, and from this
source was laid the foundation of
Kildare as it is to-day So rapidly
did the population increase around
Kildare that it was formed into an
Episcopal See. After seventy years
Of holy life the Saint became frail,
but she continued bright and cheer
full, and on February 1, 523, after re-
ceiving Holy Communion, her pure
spirit broke from it's earthly prison
house and scared aloft to see and
enjoy God forever. Her body, at first
inferred in Kildare, was removed in
the ninth century to Downpatrick,
where it was placed in the same grave
with the mortal remains of st. Patrick
Later, the two bodies, with that of
ST. COLUMBIA, were translated to the
Cathedral of Downpatrick. The head
of the Saint is one of the greatest
treasurers of the Jesuit Church at
Lisbon From the date of her death
to the present day, the glorious lives
of IS. Patrick and Bridgfd have IL
lumined ireland, whose sons and
daughters still show to the world the
piety and virtues taught them by the
two great Saints.

 One of the most spectacular features of tlfe celebration will be the parade that will be hel dat 7:30 o'clock in the evening. This will be grand pageant with large num- Der of industrial floats representing the various crafts in line, in addi- tion to large delegations of labor men and citizens. It is estimated that there will be at least two thousand men in the line of march, accompani- ed by three bands.
 Last, but by no means least, will be the grand fireworks display in the evening, from the river bank which will give everyone an excellent chance to view the same. This at traction was obtained at an eaorm- ous cost, but from accounts of the display, the committee feel well justified in securing it.
 It is the purpose of those in charge of the affair to impress upon the people of the neighboring towns who come to- Pine Bluff on Labor Day, that all the attractions held on that day will be absolutely free, and that the only return they expect is that everyone come to Pine Bluff, take part ia the good time, and there by help make the affair a success.

WANT MOTOR GAR
 T0 CLARENDON
Chamber of Commerce Takes Up Proposition
 With Cotton Belt

Efforts are being put forth by the trustees of Chamber of Commerce to have one of the motor cars recently ordered by the Cotton Belt operate between this city and Clarendon. The river and rail committee of the organization was instructed at the semi-monthly luncheon yesterday to take the matter up with the officials of the road.
 The trustees are of the opinion that if one of the cars could be run from this city to Clarendon that a great deal of business from that ter ritory now going elsewhere could be brought to Pine Bluff. The present schedule of the Cotton Belt will not permit people from that city to come to Pine Bluff, do their shopping and return the same day.
 When the motor cars were first ordered it was rumored that one of them would operate out of this city, but this was later denied by the of- ficials. The cars will be used on the Shreveport branch, branch running out of Paragould and on the branch lines and short runs in Texas. Since it was first made known that tho motor cars were ordered by the Cot ton Belt, the Chamber of Commerce has been busy in it's efforts to secure on of them for this city, but only little progress has been made. The matter will now be taken up with the highest officials.
 The regular semi-monthly meeting will be discontinued until September 15. Theo. Green, manager of the Magnolia Petroleum company, was a guest at the luncheon.

DOING A GOOD WORK
In Sermon, Former Pine Bluff Min. ister Compares Local Probation Officers With Margaret
 Daugherty

Tn his farewell sermon at Lakeside church, where he has been conduct ing 8 revival for the past week, Rev. E. o. Evans, pastor of Ausbury Methodist church of Little Rock, last night paid high complimentto Miss Julia Houston, local probation of ficer, and others who are doing this work.
 Rev. Evans used as his theme "How God Could Use Men and Women." He told the congregation that those who are doing the work of God should be praised and mentioned the names of several charity workers who have won fame in doing the work of God He said that Miss Houston was on the right path to be one of this number.
 He mentioned the following, who he said did the work of God, as He would have them do it: Thomas Benards of London, Miss Jennie Collins of Boston founder of the rescue home for wom-. en, and Margaret Daugherty of New Orleans, founder of eleven orphans homes in Louisiana.
 To commemorate the great work of Margaret paugherty, who earned by selling milk the basis of the fortune she used in behalf of the orphans, the people of New Orleans erected in her memory the first statue ever sculptur- ed to woman in the South. The snonument stands in Margaret place in New Orleans, and the memory of the kindly and beloved woman is reverend by all who know of her deeds, while the younger generations are taught to appreciate the char acter and the achievements of this Christian woman.
 He said that his theme was based on the good work done by these peo- pie, who gave their lives over to it, and also told of the great tribute paid them when they passed away. His text was taken from Leviticus, 21:21. The service last night was the best attended of any during the meeting.
 This was Rev. Evans last sermon during the revival. No services will1 be held here today. They will be re- sumed Sunday morning at II o'clock,
