of modern social reformers is an ap-
peal to law, past, present and future.
Justice is stern and heartless.
but where there is no fear of God
and men have not learned to be a
law unto themselves. society in self
defence exacts justice.
Social justice, however. does not
displace the charities, nor is it eleva-
ted above them. but is and remains,
their humble and less noble compile
ment. Not that the motives of social
reformers need be less noble, but
that the object to be achieved is en-
comprised by physical and moral
compulsion, rather than by more
ideal forces. Justice is more funda-
mental than charity.
The charities control the more
ideal forces, the sources Of love in
the human heart and their sweet
compelling suasion. The Catholic
Church above other institutions Gull
tivates these inner sources Of true
charity: they are her birthright and
she will not lightely sell it for mess
of pottage.
A Social Heresy.
We may readily understand how
such movements as the National Con-
ference of Charities and Corrections
have forfeited the content, If not the
name. of charity, and developed
more and more into social reform
agencies. We do not deprecate these
movements, for this article itself is
a special plea for social service, but
we do deprecate the confusion of
terms and issues. especially on the
part of Catholics who might reason
ably be expected to avoid modernism
and to abide by we'll established def
initions. Catholic social reform
must not be classified under the cap
ton of Catholic charities.
The distinction is recognized
abroad in the Catholic movements.
For instance, the Catholic Congress-
es of Germany have four selections:
- Missions. Education, 3)Social
Questions. 4)Charities. Again, the
word Charities" is not so much as
listed in the dissatisfaction" of the
Goerres Gesellschaft, which is the
standard work for social and politi-
cal reform from the Catholic view
point. The division of issues has
been consistently carried out.
The charities are works of gener-
osity. love, philanthropy, goodwill,
ETC., not enforceable, however, by the
law. or having any direct claim or
bearing upon the law Social justice
seeks it's elimination in social and
labor legislation, duly and properly
enforced by the law and public opin-
ion. Sound public opinion is the
most important factor, and it is the
function of social service to create it,
foster and strengthen it.
The social movement that would
come under the classification indica-
ted above are such as the following:
political parties, merchants and man
ufacturing associations, trade
unions, cooperative societies, con-
sumers' leagues, boards of COM
merce, farmers associations, loan
associations, insurance societies,
civic leagues, legislative councils,
reform agencies, immigration and
colonizing societies, labor exchanges,
industrial boards, etc.

MOST VALUABLE LESSON OF
THE WAR.

Thoughtful people. we believe, VIII
unquestioningly accept the opinion OF
member OF the general stan Of the
United States army at Washington
that one OF the greatest lessons to be
taught by the present European con-
nlct will be the unprohtableness OF
war. II is this consideration, indeed,
that stimulates all lovers OF interna-
tional peace with patience; that In
spires all friends Of a common human
ity with confidence. Let II be clearly
and thoroughly realized by all gov
ernments and peoples that, no matter
what the outcome may seem to be,
war inevitably means loss, and one
OF the strongest incentives TO Its
declaration and prosecution. II not the
very strongest of them, will surely be
removed.
II has been a settled belief in mill
tary Nations for years-at once an
obsesson and a superintendent
war waged triumphantly means gain;
that Nations victorious In war are i'm
PEELED onward and upward by newly
born impulses. aspirations and ideals;
that prestige and power are wrested
by the conquerors from the field OF
carnage. But is II not tremendous
gain for true progress TO find a pro-
fessional soldier saying that realiza-
ton OF the utter unprofltableness OF
war as a result Of the present conflict
may bring about the adoption Of the
plan for world peace-that OF unlver-
sal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by the
United States to its sister Nations
under Presidents Roosevelt and Taft,
and practically, under President VIII
son? The plan contemplates the or
ganization OF one naval fleet and one
army for international control, direc.
ton and employment In the perform
ance of the worlds police duty. mo

his own hands, points out the soldier
referred to. "but must appeal to the

that policy" so the Nations. under

their individual citizens, be disarmed
and would be encouraged and i'm
