mo PRIEST, NO OPERATION"

1 remember a good Catholic doc
tor was lying dangerously ill. His
brother practitioner, one of the most
skillful in the city. came to perform
serious operation" Wait minute"
said the Catholic doctor to the other,
who was prepared to begin opera
lions. Il expect the priest every
minute" ,
"Oh," said the other, "we don't
want one of those black-coated gen.
tlemen about us! He will only dis
turb you and put the fear of hell
into you. We shall get on much
better without the priest"
The Catholics reply was, mo
priest, no operation"
At that moment the priest enter
ed, whereupon the irate operator re-
tired, muttering that he would not
be responsible for the consequences.
The consequences were, that when
he returned to the room he found
the patient in so wonderful a state of
content and happy resignation that
it gave him every chance to make
the operation successful-as it was
and indeed, as, of course. it might
have been whether or no. But ever
afterward when that doctor was call
ed to Catholic patient his first
question was. Have you sent for the
priest?" well, send for him and
then I'll cure you" Doctors are be-
ginning to realize this fact nova
days and act up to it. I wish 1t
were better known.-From a Pastor

ton, on the ground that the world
would expect more from an ayowed-
ly pious man than he was able to
give. That false reasoning sur
vival of the old time rigorism-has
fortunately been swept away from
among Catholic men by our reyer-
sion to the primitive discipline of
the church in the matter of the
sacraments, and also by the multi
plication or organizations like the
Holy Name Society. to mention but
one, which demand more than the
minimum of Catholic practice among
it's members.
We have always had good Catholic
fathers who seduously took their
share in the religious training of
their children and set them splen-
did moral and spiritual example.
But these are multiplying. Hosts of
men are now monthly commune
cants; many are weekly commune
cants; and we know a few, men of
the world at that, and engaged in
strenuous labors, who fulfill the
ideal as daily communicates.
But when men become religious,
they don't, as rule, act merely I'M
der emotional excitement. They
want to know the basis of their faith
and the reason for their action.
Women who have innocently pre-
empted the field of religious influ-
ences, are sometimes immensely
astonished to find fathers, brothers
or friend more familiar than they
are themselves with the Word of
God.
A man demands logical religion.
Hence, when the day comes, foreseen
by Mr.. Johnson, in which men feel
the need of getting back under the
mantle of religious faith" it will
mean not the revival of failing nom
Catholic denominations, but an i'm
mense reversion to the Catholic

Higginson. He had many Catholic
friends. why not Rome AND
Reason?'" ask one of these. He
saw many of the older American
stock deserving the Puritanism of
their forefathers. or the Unitarian
ism of their forefathers for the
Catholic church. Many more will
follow these; and not in Boston or
Cambridge alone, but throughout
the land.
Will they need the painful 'aberra-
lions of the goddess women to con-
vince them? If this should be,
mems rational action in the matter
of religious utilization will save the
women; and, after all, that would
be according to Gods plan.-Boston

COOPERATIVE ELEVATORS
IN WESTERN CANADA.

In compliance with the demands
of the powerful Grain Growers AS
ISOLATION, the Manitoba Government
adopted the scheme of provincial
ownershibR 1910. The government
bought ITO country elevators, and
operated them for year at heavy
loss. These elevators are now op-
Grated under lease by the Grain
Growers Grain Company, the farm
ers' terminal marketing company of
Winnipeg.
The Saskatchewan government
dealt with the problem differently.
1t appointed competent commission
to study the situation. This COM
mission advised against government
ownership and in favor of a central
lied system of farmers cooperative
elevators to be controlled by the
farmers, but built with the aid of
Government loans. This scheme was
adopted and the Saskatchewan Co.
operative Elevator Company Act was
passed in March, 1911. 1t provided
that local associations of stockhold-
ers should be formed and that when
such local association had paid in
Is per cent of the cost of an elevator,
the Provincial Government should
loan the remaining IS per cent-this
loan to be repaid i'll twenty annual,
installments. The rate of interest is
only S per cent.
The farmers of Saskatchewan lost
no time i'll taking advantage of this
law. They Immediately organized
their central and local associations,
and started to build 40 elevators,
which were put in operation in the
fall of 1911, within eight months after
the law was passed. In 1912 they
had 137 elevators, and during the
past fall, 1872 elevators. According to
the last report there were 1886
stockholders, all farmers, and the
subscribed capital was $1,818,OOO. In
the year 1928 the company mar
keted 100000 bushels of grain, and
made clear profit of $168OOO. On
July 81, 1913, the Government loan
stood at $1,206,0OO.
The Province of Alberta followed
the example of Saskatchewan, and
passed an act providing for the in
corporation of the Alberta Farmers
Cooperative Elevator Company in
January, 1913, only a little over a
year ago. By the first of September,
organization had been perfected, and
so elevators actually built and put
i'll operation, in time to handle the
1913 crop. The Government loan
amounted to over 100000 in April,
19l4.-L. D. H. Weld, Agricultural

the great trouble has been the con-
viction of too many men that relig-
ion itself. and the religious affairs
of the household in detail, were the
woman's business.
A tinge of this spirit has been
found even among Catholics. Not
that the Catholic men at any time
consider themselves exempt from the
laws of the Church, but that, what
he might call the minutiae of rel.s-
ion seemed to him to belong more
to the woman's domain. At one time,
1t quite often happened that the
woman was better instructed in her
faith than the man. This came
about through the necessity of the
latter to enroll himself among the
wage earners at an earlier age: and
also, perhaps, from what almost in
stinctive drawing to the things of
God which have earned for women
the title of ''the devout SEX" Men
who would not for any Imaginable
reason fail in their religious duties
of obligation, shrank from adding to
these the further practices of devo-

down to the hall about o'clock,
