WHERE THE FREEMASONS
STAND.

Some weeks ago William
Muench, President of the Fedora
ton of German Catholic Societies
of the State of New York, ad-
dressed a letter to the Editor of
"The New Age Magazine, " the Of
fetal organ of the Supreme Coun-
ell of the Thirty-third Degree of
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Rite of Freemasonry for the
Southern Jurisdiction of the Unit
ed States Of America, in which he
asked him to state his attitude to-
wards the present revival of the
old spirit of bigotry which is mani
testing itself in a campaign of
calumny and utilization against
the Catholic Church, its priests
and Sisters. "A frank editorial
statement, says Mr.. Muench,
"condemning this sort of propa-
ganda as unfair and un-American.
and possibly calling attention to
the real danger it involves, would
do much to set the public Alright
in so important a matter" This

Muench asks in the name Of the
Federation of which he is Presi-
dent, which numbers $50 societies
with $1,000 members in the State

In his reply the editor, George
Fleming Moore, $50, states that

THE WRONG BRAND OF
"PATRIOTS."

The better class Of citizens in
several Minnesota towns have
shown their disapproval of the
methods used to arouse religious
bigotry by refusing to allow anti
Catholic lecturers to appear in
public halls, churches, or meeting
places controlled by them. This
is very effective method of put
ting stop to the ranting Of bigots
who profess to deliver patriotic"
lectures as a means Of acquainting
their fellowmen with the dark de-
signs Of the Church Of Rome upon
the American Government. This
is the favorite topic, in one form
or another, with which these dis
interested "patriots" deal.
That the professions of these
anti-Catholic lecturers are esti-
mated at their true value is shown
by the fact that they have diff
Guilty in obtaining a hearing
wherever patriotic citizens are on
the alert. In Bemidji, for instance,
Catholics and Protestants joined
hands to prevent Professor"
Theodore Sims of Bay City, Mich,
from delivering a series of six lee
lures in the city hall this week.
His coming was announced very
appropriately in red placards.
The topics on which he was to lee
ture were sufficient. to indicate his
sectarian bias. The right-thinking
citizens of Bemidji believed that
no good could come from stirring
up religious controversy. The
popular opposition was so great
that permission to give the lee
lures in the city hall was revoked
and, according to tThe Bemidji
Sentinel" Of last week, "this feel
ing is so strong, that ;. the Sims
lectures in Bemidji will have to be
abandoned, for persons respons-
ible for the use of halls and
churches do not wish to become
involved" The attitude of the
editor of the Sentinel is shown by
the following note with which he
prefaces his article on Sims: "The
editor of this newspaper is not a
Catholic and none of his near rela-
tives are Catholics; he knows
little indeed of the workings of

GL ASTO BURY ABBEY
RELIC OF THE DAYS WHEN ENG
LAND WAS A CATHOLIC CoUN-
TRY-ITs GLORIOUS TRADI-
TIONS.

Members Of the Devon Antiquarian
Society visited Glastonbury Abbey,
England, some time ago. After a
general study of the extensive ruins
and the portions laid bare during
recent researches, they were met by
Mr.. F. Bligh Bond, who had consented
to give an account of the fabric and
of the work being carried out to
preserve the more precarious por-
tons, and the light thrown on the
connection of the various sections
during the excavations, now being
made under Mr.. Bonds directions.
The portions especially touched on
were, commencing at the west end
ST. Joseph's Chapel, with it's rich
treatment of transitional works.
Church of Wood and WattIes.
It was suggested that this building
succeeded an early church built Of
wood and wattles, dedicated to St.
Mary and st. Joseph, and that the
great work of permanent restoration
was begun in 1884. Abbot Benedict
began building the Monks Church
beyond st. Joseph's eastward for 223
feet, up to the east wall of the tran
septs, and this portion was continued
for 154 feet to the end of the retro
choir, occupying two-thirds the length
of the present choir, which was
further extended in the 14th century
At this juncture Mr.. Bond de-
scribed the difficulty in solving the
problem of the position and extent of
the north porch. ALI doubt, however,
was set at rest by the result of the
excavations, for some eight or ten
feet below the surface most massive
foundations were encountered, por-
tions with examples of splendid cut
masonry, which clearly corroborated
the plan propounded many years pre-
viously by that distinguished arch

THE CHURCH AND THE ARTS
HOW 1T INSPIRED ARCHITECTU-
RAJ GRANDEUR.

During the period of Gothic inspira-
ton, that is from the decline of Ro-
mansque to the evolution of Renais-
sance, the monks were the leading
masters who taught and practised
architectural science. Northern
France was the cradle of Gothic arch
itecture, and one of the earliest speci-
mens-the Abbey of St. Denis, fami-
liar in history as the burial place of
the Kings of France-was the work
of holy monk who was contemp-
orary with the illustrious st. Bernard.
The magnificent Cathedrals of Notre
Dame, of Rouen, of Amiens, and in
Vulnerable other sacred edifices
throughout Western Europe, bear tes-
timony to Gothic energy. Such energy

of the Crusades which made men spe-
cially eager to erect temples worthy
Of their God and fit to be the last

such as the Cathedral of Notre Dame,
which Victor Hugo has called sym

of history, art, and science. 1t bears

dark period in the history of the
Church, when the French Revolution
burst forth in wild chaotic confusion,
when the Vicar of Christ died an ex-
lie in foreign land and many magnifi-
cent buildings erected to the honour
of God were ruthlessly desecrated.

1.-THE CONFESSION. {"

Ut TWO Weeks ulEluS Gn6
month "The Confession" play
by James Halleck Reid, attracted
capacity audiences to the Shubert
Theatre in this city. The central
idea around which the plot is
woven, is the inviolability of the
seal Of sacramento confession.
The play presents the Catholic
teaching on this important subject
in such a way as not to offend the
susceptibilities of any Catholic
who may witness it. The presenta-
ton is true to fact and accurate
in detail from a doctrinal point
of view. The principal role was
played by Mr. Wright Huntington
who emphasized the moral of the
play in a pleasing, logical, and
convincing manner. His ability
as an actor was shown to good ad-
vantage in the difficult situation
in which he was. placed when, in
his role as a Catholic priest, he
seals his lips against the efforts
made to wiring from him the sacra-
mental secrets which had been con-
fded to him by a penitent. Not
even when the shadow of the gal
lows hangs over his own brother,
who is convicted of another s
crime on circumstantial evidence,
does he betray by word or gesture
the knowledge Of the real ulprit
received in Confession.
The lesson conveyed by "The
Confession" is a wholesome one.
Non Catholics are impressed by
it as much as Catholics, though
some Of them may not grasp it's
real significance, but go away
with the impression that the actor
is impersonating "stage" priest
rather than a priest in everyday
life. What is true Of "Father
Bartlett" is true Of every Catholic
priest. Never in the history of
the Church has Catholic priest
been known to reveal the secrets
confded to him by a penitent in
the confessional. The non-Catho-
lie who grasps the significance of
this fact can readily understand
why it is that Catholics are not
afraid to reveal their hidden sins
to the priest in confession. They
know that his lips are sealed for
all time and that under no circum-
stance will he make known even
the least Of the sins confded to
him. This knowledge makes con-
fession easy for the faithful and
eliminates the difficulty which
many Protestants have in accept
ing this dogma Of the Church.
There is another lesson that
may be drawn from this play,
namely, that the theatre going
public will patronize a clean, up
lifting and instructive religious
play when it is not a travesty on
Catholic doctrine or practice. Of
course, there is an element among
theatre patrons who revel in sala-
cious plays, but the majority do
not want them. There is little truth
in the statement that playwrights
and theatrical managers are only
catering to public taste by present
ing unbecoming plays. The peo-
pie are clean at heart, and they
show it by patronizing good plays
when an opportunity is offered,
and if the theatres would only rec
ognize this fact there would be
a gratifying change for the better
in the character of plays presented
on the stage.

which he has conjured up, and in
order to bolster up his cause he
puts the worst possible interpre-
tation upon incidents and events
which ought to have no bearing
on the question at issue.
1t is unnecessary to comment on
this editorial expression" fur
ther than to ask if the editor has
ever known the Catholic Church
to go out Of it's way to attack
Freemasonry, or even to take
cognizance of it's existence until
forced to do so by it's persistent
and aggressive attacks? Further
more, has he ever known the
American Bishops in council as
sembled to lay aside their official
duties long enough to indulge in
vituperative attack on Freema-
sonry or any Protestant sect?
When the American Hierarchy
meet in the interest Of the Church,
they attend to the business that
called them together, and when
that is disposed of they return to
their respective fields Of labor
without making themselves the
laughing stock of the country by
senseless and unprovoked attacks
on any of the denominations. The
same cannot be said of conven-
lions held by the representatives
of Protestant denominations. They
cannot meet for any purpose with
out taking a gratuitous fling at
the Catholic Church, and her in
situations, and in doing so they,
presumably, act as the official rep
{resentatives of the church to which
they belong.
Of course, there are Catholics
who deem it their duty to indulge
in brainless exhibitions Of sectar-
ian spleen by attacking Protest
ants and Professionalism; but their
attitude must not be taken as the
official attitude of the Church.
When the Church, as a religious
society, speaks, the world knows
it, and is not left in doubt
as to what she says. When the
Bishops Of any country voice
the official attitude Of the Church,
and not their personal views, the
public at large are not left in
doubt as to their meaning The
Catholic Church in this country is
not in politics. She has no designs
on the Government. She does not
NEEDLE in public affairs for her
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT. But Catho-
lies, whether clergymen or lay
men, are American citizens and
as such have a right to all that
is implied in that title. There is
no reason why their religion
should prevent them from taking
an active interest in political af-
fairs or from aspiring to political
preferment. They are as well
qualified for office, to say the least,
as their nom Catholic brethren and
if they use every legitimate means
to attain the goal of their ambi-
ton in the political world, who
shall dare to asperse their charac-
ter or condemn them as guilty of
political intrigue simply because
they are Catholics? We are tired
Of hearing about the Catholic sin
Of aspiring to political office. 1t
is the battle cry Of the pigmies who
seek official positions for which
they have little, if any, qualifica-
ton by appealing to sectarian
bigotry. The sooner this method
of getting into office disappears,
the better. Catholics are never
among the first to raise the re-
ligious cry and they have no de-
signs upon the American govern
ment.
