monetti PROSECUTING station. The jury
was non-Catholic. 1t took less than
fifteen minutes for the jury to render
a verdict in favor of the priest.
Thus ended one of the most absurd
cases Adams county has ever seen.
Several weeks ago the "deacons'
went out to Welby and held services
in the home of Michael Zerlango, who
had given them permission to visit
his house, but did not expect them to
hold services there. They had been
there the Friday before, and had ex.
pressed a desire to see Father John.
Zerlango heard they were coming
back on Sunday, and ordered them to
stay away, but later consented to have
them come merely to meet the priest.

town; but the priest was not among
the escorters.

LOWUs DuC tue priest was uOI dulOnS
the escorters.
A committee of Methodist ministers
was named to investigate the affair
following protest to them by Sui
monetti, who is former bartender,
and, within few days, the five deac-
ons filed charges against the priest in
the Adams county court, charging him
with breaking up religious meeting.
These men swore on the stand that
Father John had come into the room,
shouting, This is not the true relig-
ion," and had broken up their services.
They had Zerlango as one Of their
chief witnesses. But, alas! his testi-
mony was the strongest that came out
for the other side. He testified that
Father John had not disturbed the
deacons.
The jury, probably fearing that some
religious animus might result from the
trial, sent word out to the judge ask
ing him to give the verdict. He sent a
message back declaring it was the
jurymen's duty to do this. A verdict
of not guilty came within two or three
minutes.
Father John is president of a large
club of young men there composed of
both Professionals and Catholics. There
is the best of feeling.
The suit against him is merely a
Sulmonetti plan to arouse interest in
the North Denver mission-interest in
this case meaning cash.

Cbtloren's Easter DUTY


1t is during the recurring Easter
season that Holy Church calls to the
minds of Catholic parents the sacred
duty, upon consultation with and ad-
vice from the confessor of their chill
dren (Roman Catechism), to see to it
that their little ones approach the
Holy Table.
Some time between the first Sunday
in Lent and Trinity Sunday MAY 80,
1879, the DEGREES of Plus X, ION the
age of those to be admitted to first
Holy Communion" may be heard read
In the vernacular in every parish
church. 1t is since the eighth day of
August, 1910, that every child that has
reached the use of reason, is to be ad-
mitted to Holy Communion. AS rule,
the use of reason is reached by a child
at the age of seven years. or there
about.
All well-instructed Catholics under
stand it to be grevious fault and sin,
If they do not comply with the com.
mandment of Holy Church to receive
Holy Communion worthily at Easter
time; but there is large number of
those who, after lapse of nearly five
years, have not yet grasped the idea
that the same precept applies in an
equal measure to children who have
OF ofr,n no ne
a-.a Citing the Council of Trent, Pope
Plus X says: IF any one shall deny
that all the faithful of both sexes, who
have attained the use of reason, are
obliged to receive communion every
year, at least at Easter time, according
to the precepts of holy mother Church
let him be anathema," that is, exclud-
ed from the society of the faithful.
No distinction is here made between
adults and children who have come to
the age of reason. The Inference,
therefore, is that the duty of com
memorating the death of the Lord
Il. Cor. II. 26) or complying with ones
Easter duty, devolves equally upon the
old and young.
Some parents find difficulty in get
ting rid Of the spirit of the old prac
tice of admitting children to Holy
Communion for the first time at later
age, say when they are 10 years old.

that expression in the sense that in

be intelligent enough to adapt our

our Church never will, nor can
change, but it's discipline may vary &C.
cOrding to the times i'm which we live,
There was time when the Holy
Eucharist was given to the little ones
at baptism under the species of wine
That practice obtained from the first
Christian era till the thirteenth CEN
fury. For long time the small frag-
ments left over after the Communion
of the adults were given to the chill
dren.
In the thirteenth century the dis
cipline not to allow children to ap-
proach the Holy Table before the
dawn of reason and before having
some knowledge of the august Sacra-
ment. was firmly established by the
fourth Lateran council.
In the Papal decree of 1910, the
Pope Of the Holy Communion, as Plus
X Is called, severely took to task the
Jansenists of the seventeenth century
who required an extraordinary prep.
aration for the reception of Holy Com
munion. Their motive bore at least
the semblance of piety, while the rea-
son which prompts some parents to
withhold the divine grace from their
little charges, is sheer ignorance and
inexcusable carelessness. The fire.
quent objection advanced that children
do not understand their religion, may
be met by the answer suggested by
the Decree on Holy Communion, that
"a complete and perfect knowledge of
the Christian doctrine is not neces-
sary." 1t suffices that the child be able
to distinguish the Eucharistic from
the common and material bread, and
/ knows how to approach the altar with
proper devotion"
AS to the complete and perfect
knowledge of all the Christian doc.
trine, this is matter of duty to be
