UNCONVENTIONAL STRIFE.

J.
A. few sour politicians in this state
1 and nation are trying their dead level
tbest to stir up denomiinational strife,
the object being tip reap profit for
Il themselves. The last resort of a
/ low-down; unprincipleds politician is
/ to enter. the pulpit, deyil-like, and
throw mud, hoping=to win the plaud-
/ its Of the devil and to divide the
moral and religions forces. 1t is all
right for, preachers, who are called
of God, to fight error from the pull
pit, but it is all wrong and very
dangerous to allow the devil, acting
through dirty politicians, to make
you believe he is fighting the Church
of God by stirring up religious preju-
dice and intolerance. There is alb
solutely no good in the devil, and
when he asks you to give him your
eye and your support while he fights
this or that church, against which
he thinks you have deep prejudice,
you had better tell him to get be-
hind you. He is not fighting evil
he is undertaking to demoralize the
: Kingdom of God by creating corfu-
sion among it's members. If you
will make diligent inquiry into the
characters of the men who are thus
acting as agents for the devil you
will find that they are not praying
Christians, but dirty, disappointed
and sore politicians. Having reached
the end of the tether in politics, they
+, enter UNCONVENTIONAL discussion and
undertake to tell Christians what
they should do or not do.
This agitation is one of the most
dangerous things now threatening our
/ country. At this moment there are
thousands of Americans who would
not vote for certain moral measures if
those measures were represented by
:; men belonging to denominations dis
tasteful to them. They are good men
:. themselves, but they have had their
minds poisoned and misinformed by
disreputable politicians who are en-
gagged in the damnable work of stir

Dear Father Reardon:
Excuse me intruding myself upon
yoaF time. I'm In hospital now and
have been for three long, dreary
months now.
East March I got a rupture and on
April 13 last i entered hospital to be
operated on. The operation was done
with the greatest care, but it was
Gods will to put my patience and my
confidence in His providence to the
test by allowing an infection to get
into the, wound, and now I've been
fighting this infection for three
months. When we thought we had got
had spread so that l had to undergo
a fresh operation. That is three
weeks and a half ago and Pm still
writing this from my bed. Gods
holy will be done. 1 wouldn't com
plain of it. What is worse than the
sickness is the worry of not being
able to meet the expenses it incurs
Even when we'll live by appealing to
the kindness of Catholics who are in
terested in the missionary, how much
more SO now when I'm faced with such
extraordinary expense, must trust
in Gods Providence to bless this, my
appeal to be lifted out of the worry.
/ have had to undergo two opera
tions. i have had medical treatment
daily, bitten twice daily for three
months now. Add to this the assist
ance of nurses, hospital fees for three
months. Moreover, have to supply
my mission, Sunday after Sunday, with
a priest, there being no one to run
the mission in my absence. My teach
ers are running the school all the
while. You will see from this account
that it is all expense and nothing com
/ ing in. Moreover, the expense is not
light, either. / reckon this financial
worry will delay my recovery. You
would relieve me tremendously if you
could send me some gifts to meet these
expenses. Worry, worry, worry, that's
] the rule. would be thankful if you
would make my case known to others

sTlPENDs FOR MASS.

Catholics Living in thickly settled
districts may find it hard to believe
that within the confines of the United
States there are many priests who,
were it not for the help received by
Mass stipends, would often go hungry,
Bishop Reilly recently wrote in to
the Catholic Church Extension Soci-
ETY.: Il would be grateful for Mass
stipends. We get very few from the
East and my priests cannot subsist
without some help on their poor mis-
sions. I could use thousands and
have none"
The sending of Mass Intentions to
the Catholic Church Extension Soci-
ety. for distribution among mission
aries is, indeed, charitable act.
Bishop Reilly is in need of Mass sti-
ponds for his priests; offerings for
Masses for him sent to the Catholic
Church Extension Society, whose of.
fees are located in the McCormick
Building, Chicago, will be promptly
forwarded to him.
