want for even the bare necessaries
OF life, many of them will be
obliged to close their missions and
leave their stations until such time
as sufficient financial assistance is
assured. The Church cannot af-
ford to have even the least of her
missionary outposts closed for
want of the pittance which is
required to keep them in op-
Grafton. Even at best the mis-
sionaries barely exc out pre-
carious existence. The ordinary
revenues are too small to enable
them to do all that they would for
the advancement of the Church s
interest among the heathens. Their
future is imperilled when these
limited resources are not available
and one can readily understand
that in the present conditions they
will have to endure more than or
binary hardships and privations if
they are not forced to give up the
struggle entirely. The Church i'll
America must be the benefactor of
the missions for the present at
least ), and hence, the reason for
the more urgent appeal now being
sent out by the bishops for con-
tributions to enable the Church to
successfully tide over this crisis in
her missionary activity.

A STRIKING CONTEMPLATION.

Professor Pepper of Philadel-
phia recently delivered the fifth of
the Lyman Beecher lectures at
Yale before an audience which
comprised many Of the delegates
to the convocation of ministers
holding its sessions at the Univer-
sity. In the course of his address
he paid the following tribute to
Catholic education:
~"There is no doubt in my mind
that the Roman Catholics have the
finest system Of teaching possible
and | am positive that the time is
coming when move will be pro
NOTED to have each religion care
for the education of the children
Of its creed, just as the Roman
Catholics are doing at the present
time. / believe that these various
religions will receive small COM
pensation from the state for the
education of each pupil. In this
way the children of each creed will
be freed from the rival claims of
other creeds, and the time is not
far off when to know God will
be considered the greatest Of all
the uses OF the human mind. And
when this move is started you may
be sure that it will have strong
political backing =
1t is gratifying to receive from
such source confirmation of the
belief, so general among Catholics,
that the system Of education
adopted by the Church is the
finest possible; and yet what other
view could be expressed by any
intelligent man who knows what
lis necessary for the purposes of
genuine education-an education
which takes cognizance of the

A THREE-FoLD BEREAVE-

During the past week the
Church III the United States suf-
fered a triple bereavement in the
deaths Of the distinguished
prelates who presided over the
Sees of Buffalo, Covington and
Salt Lake. The East, the South

and the latter the twenty seventh.

FEAST OF THE ASCENSION.

The feast Of the Ascension cele-
brated OH Thursday of this week
commentaries the return of our
Lord to His heavenly home at the
close of His earthly career. 1t
signalizes the withdrawal of His
visible, corporeal presence from
among the sons of men. The cloud
which hid His ascending form
from the gaze of the Apostles has
never ceased to roll beneath His
feet. Since that day the eye of
faith alone can discern His bodily
presence beneath the sacramental
veil; and hence, though He has
ascended on high, He is still with
US. Each tabernacle is glorified by
His abiding presence In it heaven
touches earth and the Goldman
resides among His people. 1t is
the fulfilment Of the promises
Il will not leave you orphans. !"
1" Behold | am with you all days. =
Let us praise and bless the name of
God Who deals thus generously
with His erring children, redeemed
from the slavery Of the evil one.

THE NEEDS OF RELIGION.

Elsewhere ill this issue we pub
lish the letter of the Most Rever-
end Archbishop announcing the an
nual collection to be taken up on
Pentecost Sunday in all the
churches of the Diocese for the
benefit of the Holy See and urging
a generous response on the part
of the faithful. The contributions
made for this purpose by the
parishes and missions Of the Dio-
cese last year fell far short Of the
expectation and, consequently, far
short Of what should have been
given to supplement the resources
Of the Holy See at time when the
amounts annually contributed by
European countries for this pur-
pose were available
The need of more generous
response to this appeal at the pres
ent time is apparent to all. The
great conflict now raging beyond
the Atlantic has had disastrous
effect on the revenues at the dis
posal of the Holy Father for carry
ing OH the work Of the Church.
Several of the countries engaged
in the war were among the most
generous contributors to this
fund but now little or nothing can
be expected from them. Until
peace and prosperity reign once
more within their territories the
Holy See must suffer, unless Cath
olics in the New World take to
heart the needs of the situation
and deem it their filial duty to
come to the aid of the Sovereign
Pontiff by placing at his disposal
such sums of money, as will enable
him to replenisll the depleted
treasury of the Vatican and carry
on i'll the usual way the admins
trative work Of the Church and
the religious and philanthropic
projects which are so vital to her
life and mission.
AS a general rule, American
Catholics are noted for their gem
erosity to the Church. They have
been blessed with a fair share of

to the assistance of religion with
no niggardly hand. A special APP
peal goes forth to them this year
in the unusual circumstances
brought about by the war and it
is safe to say that they will meas
.ure up to what is expected of them
when there is question of the
Church and her interests.
Nor will Catholics in America
lose sight of the missionary needs
of the Church in general. The war
has wrought havoc with the for
eign missionary work of the
Church especially, by cutting off
its ordinary sources of revenue in
Europe; and unless America takes
to herself the honor of seeing that

oring in heaihen lands do not

Irving Grinnell, treasurer Of the
Church Temperance Society, of New
York, told at temperance meeting
dramatic anecdote.
"A woman entered bar-room," he
said, "and advanced quietly to her
husband, who sat drinking with three
other men.
She placed covered dish on the
table and said:
'Thinkin' ye'd be too busy to come
home to supper, Jack, I've fetched it
to you here
And she departed.
The man laughed awkwardly. He
invited his friends to share the meal
with him. Then he removed the cover
from the dish.
The dish was empty. 1t contained
only a slip of paper that said:
Il hope you will enjoy your sup
per. 1t is the same your wife and

Mr.. j. S. Blackton, President of
the Vitagraph Company of Amer
lea, says that, for the year 1913,
the general public paid 275,000,-
900 for admission to various mo-
tion picture houses throughout the
country-a large sum for amuse-
ment, some Of which of a more or
less questionable character. IL
this enormous amount were ex-
pended for religious purposes, how
much good could be accomplished
If only a portion of what Catho-
hes spent in this way were devoted
to the educational and charitable
works of the Church, how these
would grow and expand under this
rain of coin from the sky of self
sacrifice! And this is only one of
the manifold forms of amusement
that drain the purses OF our people
of money that could be infinitely
better used for the propagation of
religion.

the work of developing the intel
Elect and pays no attention to the
formation Of character by the i'll
culcation OF right ideals of life and
conduct is necessarily defective.
1t leaves oHt Of consideration alto
gether the child's nobler nature
and the higher purposes for which
he is placed upon this earth. By
its failure to recognize the right of
the individual to a Well-balanced
and co-ordinated development of
all the faculties and powers Of his
being, it necessarily sends him into
the world ill-equipped to battle
with the forces and temptations
which make war against his higher
nature and strive to shackle him
to the things of earth. Wherever
the claims of God and of the
human soul are kept in the back
ground education must, Of neces-
sity, fail to do the work which is
expected OF II.
In her educational system, the
Catholic Church recognizes that
the pupil is the child Of God, and
that its first duty is to Him Who
gave it being. Consequently,
while she does not neglect the
claim OF intellect to the fullest ex-
pansion and development, she
never fails to emphasize the value
of a training which places a we'll
developed Christian character
above mere intellectual keenness,
which emphasizes the supernatural
in the individual and makes the
soul the master Of the body.
So thoroughly are Catholics con-
vinced of the value Of such an edu-
cation that they leave nothing un-
done to give their children the full
benefit of it. In this they do not
ask the state to aid them. They
are willing to make the sacrifice
themselves. Any attempt to draw
from the public treasury for the
support Of Catholics schools would
meet with violent opposition and
bring to the surface of political
life the latent forces Of sectarian
bigotry. Catholics have no inten-
tion of asking the state to support
their schools, though why the state
should not be willing to pay for
the education i'll secular branches
given under Catholic auspices it is
difficult to see. 1t is not likely
that the time is near at hand when,
as Professor Pepper states, the
different denominations "will re-
ceiye small compensation from
the state for the education Of each
pupil. = And yet, does this not
point the way to reasonable solu-
tion Of the whole question in re-
gard to the teaching Of religion in
school? sizes

It needed not a despatch from
Rome to assure us that the Holy
Father was deeply touched by the
recent marine disaster which
snuffed out the lives Of so many
persons. He expressed sorrow at
the destruction Of the liner and
sympathy with the victims. He
said he hoped that the American
government would be able to
make future disasters of the kind
impossible. His attitude is that of
the Christian world at large,
shocked at the loss of so many
human beings plunged into -eter-

A PROTESTANT CONFES-
SIONAL.

The Rev. DIR. Warren, a Prot
estant clergyman Of New York
City, claims to have been instru-
mental in dissuading several per-
sons from committing suicide and
in order to carry on this work in
a more effective manner he has
decided to open an anti-suicide
headquarters where all who are
tempted to "shuffle off this NOR
tai col" (" may seek his ministra-
tions in an effort to overcome the
temptation to escape the ills of life
by this cowardly means.
In an interview, which appeared
in the New York Tribune, he
speaks of his project as follows !:
'sThe small number of suicides
among Catholics is due, in the
main, to the ability Of Catholics
to enter the confessional box, and
there, unknown to the spiritual
adviser, bare their souls and
hearts, and go away buOyed up by
the knowledge that, no matter
how hopeless the case, there is
a Supreme Being who, i'll visiting
trials and tribulations upon hu-
manity, always provides for the
reward for such suffering.
:" 1t is our object to supply that
consolation and encouragement to
those outside the Catholic Church
by establishing this headquar-
ters. =
In other words. DR.. Warren
would establish Protestant con-
fessionaE He would pattern it on
the lines of the sacred institution
which, under the aegis of the
Catholic Church, has proved so
salutary remedy for the spiritual
ills Of life. That this institution
which DR.. Warren projects will
not prove a success is evident to
all who understand the difference
between divinely y-instituted rem
.edy for sin and a man-made anti
.dote The Saviour gave to the
Sacrament Of Penance which He
instituted a divine sanction to
which alone must be attributed the
efficacy which il possesses as a
spiritual help. Without that di-
vine sanction and the sacred safe
guards with which Sacramento
Confession is surrounded, it would
not appeal to erring man. DIR.
Warren fails to comprehend the
teaching of the Church on this i'm
portant point. This is evidenced
by his proposal to establish a
Protestant confessional which, of
its very nature, will fail to do
what he hopes to accomplish by
it. The fact that he plans such
an institution shows that he rea-
lies the need Of something that
will appeal to the non-Catholic as
confession does to the Catholic.

POSTPONE HIGH SCHOOL
PLAY FOR ONE WEEK

The illness of Deane Malott, car
rying the lead in ''The Mysterious
Mr.. Brown" which was to have
been presented by the high school
students Friday night, has made 1t
necessary that the entertainment be
postponed one week, to February 70.
Deane is not dangerously Ill but the
attending physician advises against
his taking part in the play this week.
Most of the tickets for the seats
in the parquet Of the Seelye have
been sold, and a large crowd was
on hand to reserve seats this morn
ing, so that the management OF the
high school production is assured a
good house. The seat reservations
will. of course, hold good for the
production of the play February 20.
Prof. ]. w. French promised the
eats for a hike to the high school
class selling the most tickets for
the play. The result of the offer 10
that most of the house has been sold
out and some of the high school
students have turned spectators
among themselves and to win the

the seats at a premium. One senior
even sold a bunch of tickets on con-
dition that the boys who bought
them take freshmen girls and thus

TALK COUNTY FARM
ADVISOR HERE MARCH @

A meeting of the farmers insti-
tute to consider further the proposal
to hire a county farm advisor has
been called by the institute officers
for March 6. the first Saturday Of
next month. BY that time a more
definite idea of how to establish the
county agent plan will be outlined
and doubtless some forward action
taken.
H. G. Kyle, president of the insti-
tute, has made inquiries over the
county and in the towns as to the
opinion of farmers and business
men relative to a farm advisor. In
practically all instances the plan
has been spoken of favorably and
many are enthusiastic. Legislation
touching on this question is now
pending in the Kansas legislature.
The Smith-Lever act already has
been accepted by the state, and by
this act a federal appropriation is
made to help pay for the farm ad-
visors' work.
