VOCATIONS TO THE PRIEST
HOOD.

Next Tuesday twenty-six young
levites who have completed the
prescribed course of studies in
the st. Paul Seminary will be or
dained to the priesthood by the
Most Reverend Archbishop. This
is but one of many similar cere-
monies taking place this month in
seminary chapel and Cathedral
sanctuary throughout this land
whereby young levites, taken
from among men, are ordained for.

to God, that they may offer up
gifts and sacrifices for sins. :"
These functions evidence the
perennial vitality of the Church
which is able to provide for the
needs of religion by yearly Access

With a view to being prepared
for every emergency, the Catholic
societies of Italy have been quietly
organizing to meet, if necessary,
the religious needs that the inter-
yention of their country in the
European struggle would bring
about. Numbers of chaplains in
addition to those regularly en-
ployed in the army are ready for
service and portable affairs, vest
ments, and altar furniture in
large quantities have been provid-
ed. All this without the least
sign of eXertion, because Of the
fact that in most large cities of
Italy the manufacture of these
articles constitutes an important
industry. From experience the
Italian authorities know the value
of having their soldiers accom-
panied by chaplains on the battle
field. 1t is well known that the
fearlessness manifested by the
priests in caring for the wounded
in Tripoh while battle ragged had
the effect of greatly encouraging
the men on more than one occa-
sion.

A VANISHING TYPE.

Concerning the passing of the
breath and the habit of wanting to
treat everybody he meets, the Mail
Order Journal has this to say
"Gone forever is the staggering
joke-telling salesman-he with the
whisky breath and the cigarette
stained fingers. His place has been
taken by the clear-cut, business-like
gentleman, who makes his sales, not
by treating, joking and storytelling,
but by craftsmanship or brains intel
ligently applied. The change is, of
course, credit to the craft, due to
the inroads of advanced education. 1t
was not many years ago that sales
man to be successful must be a good
story-teller a moderate drinker, and
a good liar. Now he needs polish,
department and tact.
"The former type, in truth, did not
drink because they liked it, but be-
cause it was a tool of the trade.
Some drank, it is true, like the China
man, who exclaimed after he had
bought quart of fiery, execrable
cheap whisky: Me no drinkee for
drinkee; me drinkee for drunkee.'
Most statesmen did not drink for pleas
ure; they drank for business, but
in the words of Rev. Jasper, The
world do move Civilization has
caused this class to be tabooed in all
good business circles, and the man
who dissipates soon finds himself on
the scrap-heap of men. Today few
men who sell whisky ever drink.
This proves conclusively it need not
be drinker that sells the goods but
a thinker"

tested the usual sectarian spirit by
attacking the Catholic Church.

resolution were passed to add a

in worldly way. Yet in His parallels
did not He liken His kingdom and His
authority to those of an earthly king,
and did not He apply the latter figure
to Himself? And does not one in this
sense rule His Church today as the
lawful successor of st. Peter, who first
filled the Office in succession to our
Lord? If in st. Peters day, and we
have it on that Apostles own testi-
mony, there were "unlearned and I'M
stable" Christians who wrested lin
terpreted) the Scriptures to their
own destruction" shall not we like
wise expect to find Christians SINH
larly unlearned and unstable in the
Church in all ages? And yet, be it OBJ
served, the unlearned and unstable
Christians of the Apostles days could
read, and, being able to read, under
took, as many do today, and have done
in all Christian ages, to interpret the
Scriptures for themselves. Here, Ger
tainly is an authentic picture of the
New Testament Church, and from the
pen of the Apostle in authority. We
are quite well aware that some Prot
estant scholars allege the Second
Epistle Of ST. Peter, in which the
Apostle relates these things, to be
spurious. Scholars" of this type have
a peculiar faculty of denouncing as
spurious all documents that fail to fit
in with their theories. Did not Luther
denounce as IAN epistle of straw" the
Epistle of st. James, because it is a
standing refutation of the most i'm
portant part of his unchristian teach
ing? But many Protestant scholars
go even further than that-"they deny
the Lord Who bought them" And so
we ask, how can it be reasonably ex-
pected that such should know His
Church? To return, however, to the
question Of st. Peters position of au-
thority in the Church: if it be asked,
did st. Peter, after our Lords Ascen-
sion, occupy the position of the
Church's earthly head? We unhesi-
tatingly affirm that he did. And our
witnesses to the fact are, Tertullian,
Origen, st. Cyprian, ST. James of Nisi-
bis, st. Hilary, st. Cyril of Jerusalem,
st. Gregory of Nyssa, st. Gregory of
Nazianzum, st. Basil, st. Epiphanius,
st. Ambrose, st. Jerome, st. Chrysos-
tom, st. Asterius, st. Augustine of Hip
pc, st. Leo the Great and others whose
names we have not space to specify.
Is it credible that these saints of the
early Church should, on a matter so
momentous, lie? What purpose would
their agreement to falsify serve? But
seeing that they lived in different
countries, and some of them in diff
ferent centuries, why should they so
agree if what they testify is false?
And only one of them, ST. Leo the
Great, was Pope. If they lied, it can
not therefore be alleged that they did
SO to establish themselves in that po-
sition, seeing that only one of them
occupied it. In order to keep 'the
unity of the spirit in the bond of
peace" and also to preserve and as
sure the unity of the Church there
must be a legitimate line of success
sors in the Chair of st. Peter.

Last week General Nelson A.
Miles. spent a few hours in Mime
apolis and was a special guest at
a luncheon given by the Mime
apolis Club to Governor Ham
mond. When the time for speech
making came the General was
called upon and made what is re-
ported to have been ga brief but
eloquent patriotic talk. +"
We are glad the Generals talk
had the merit of brevity. His
utterances cannot be too brief for
all practical purposes. But, a
patriotic talk oh, no! No
man who occupies the position
which General Miles does among
the so-called Guardians of Liberty
can give a patriotic talk in the
true sense of the word. Long be-
fore General Miles helped to
found the bigoted organization
with which he is allied, he believed
that Catholics had guns and am
munition stored in the Easements
of their churches and did not hest
tate to say so. Any man who
holds such views cannot be classed
as a patriot, no matter what his
services to the nation may have
been. Not a few charitable souls
believe the General to be in his
dotage. Perhaps he is but-when

TO The
BLESSED v1R.GTN
REV. w. n. CLAGGET, A PRoTES-
TANT MINISTER OF ST. LOUIS,
AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF
THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS,
PAYS A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL
TRIBUTE TO THE MOTHER OF
GOD.

Rev. w. IT. Clagget, a Protestant
minister of st. Louis, former presi-
dent of the University of Texas, as a
toast in honor of Mothers Day, OBJ
served on May 8, paid tribute to the
Blessed Virgin, Mother of God, which
is SO true and beautiful that it seems
to have come from Catholic heart
devoted to the Immaculate Mother.
We reproduce it in full, as follows,
from the St Louis Globe-Democrat
Mother. for whom words never
have been, never can be coined, with
which to weave the wreath of glory
that we would place upon thy brow
mother, by whom God became man.
by whom the human race has thus
been linked forever to the throne of
God-mother, the light of whose eyes
was the first light that shone upon
the Babe of Bethlehem - mother.
whose face was the first face into
which the Infant Jesus ever looked
mother, who, alone of all Gods serv-
ants, angels, archangels, seraphim and
cherubim, Graded Deity in thine arms,
and laid Him on thy bosom and held
Him in thy breast-mother, who
taught the feet of the Infant Son of
God to walk-mother, the first word
that the lips of the Babe, that was God
and Man, learned to lisp-mother, who
guided the footsteps of the Son of God,
and the son of man, through a spotless
youth to spotless manhood-mother,
who followed the Son of God, thy Son,
bone of thy bone, and flesh of thy flesh,
to the cross, to ignominious death
mother, the first Of all the earth to
give to the Saviour Jesus, loving min
istry as He nestled on thy bosom
mother, the last of all the earth in
the thought of the Saviour, Son of God,
and Son of Mary, as He hung upon
the cross and died-mother, through
whom heaven itself was forever
changed when the Son of Mary and
Son of God, assembled from the cross
and took His seat forever upon the
throne of God-mother, who, to this
sin-darkened world, gave the Infant
Jesus, God and Man, who to heaven
gave the Lamb Of God, Man and God,
Who is the light of heaven-mother,
standing not beneath the shadow Of
the cross, but beneath the glory of the
throne of God and of the Lamb, that
throne now replendent with the glory
with which thy Son has enshrouded
it, one and all, we rise up and call thee
blessed and place upon thy brow our
richest diadem. We crown thee queen
of our hearts-we give thee the first
place in all Of Gods creation"

TASTE NOT THE CUP.

Oh! taste not the cup, tho red, spark
ling and bright
The nectar that bubbles within;
There is poison and death in it's
bright rosy light
In it's depths there's temptation and
sin.
Then mind not the siren, whose voice
is so sweet,
While she calls thee to drink of
that BOWL
Oh! turn from that bower of pleasure
thy feet
Ere yet she hath power DER thy
soul.
Tho bright as the amber the drops
she distilled,
And fragrant the taste on the lip,
Yet, oh! it's bright depths are with
miseries filled,
Enslaving the soul that may sip.
Then turn, braVely turn, beloved
youth, from the wine,
And let thy hand never contain
The goblet, from whose rosy depths
ever shine
A serpent that feeds on thy brain.
ITS sweet food" you say, will soon
Danish the tear;
Cause the soul to forget every woe;
No sorrow or pain the proud spirit
may fear,
While it lives in it's breath's cheer
ing glow"
All! court not the phantom of drear
misery!
In her course must deep grief ever
roll,
She delights but in shipwrecks upon
the wild sea,
Or in harpies devouring the soul.
Then, taste not the cup-dash it down
to the ground!
Fen to gaze on it's food may be
harm;
1t is danger to hold, for oft danger is
found
Slyly lurking beneath every charm.
All! the serpent concealed is the one
most to fear
We don't see his approach thro' the
grass,
We know not till stung that his fangs
are so near,
Fen SO is he hid in the glass.
If the warm hand of friendship should
circle around
That cup amid laughter and joy,
Among such foolish votaries do not~be
found
For friendship like this will soon die.
Believe not the orator, poet or sage,
Who argues this nectar is blest,
For proofs thou wilt find to confute
every page,
In the homes of the many dis
distressed
Then taste not the cup-the least heed
do not pay
To the voice of the siren that calls;l
There are dangers around to destroy
who may stay,
And miseries, too, if he falls.
Let Temperance be the bright beacon
that guides
Thy footsteps wherever thou'll roam,
Then thou wilt be blest and respect
ed besides,
And cheerful and happy at home.

THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE
PAPACY.

As soon as Italy entered the
arena of war various and conflict
ing reports appeared in the public
press regarding the effect which
the declaration Of war would have
on the relations between the Vati-
can and the Quirinal. 1t is a
Well-known fact that many ma
tions are officially represented at
the Vatican. This is tacit recog-
milton of the independent sover-
eighty Of the Pope, even though
he has been stripped OF his tenn
poral possessions. Among the ma
tions having accredited ENJOYS at
the Vatican were the two powers
against which Italy threw down
the gauge of battle, namely, Ger
many and Austria, and many sur
misses were made as to what their
attitude towards the Holy See
would be after the declaration of
war. Would they recall their
representatives? Or would they
allow them to remain after the
ambassadors to Italy had been
given their passports?
The latest reliable news from
Rome is to the effect that the mat
ter has been amicably settled as
result of an understanding be-
tween the Holy See and the Ger
man and Austrian governments by
(which their ENJOYS to the Vatican
withdrew from Rome at the same
time as the ambassadors to the
lQnirinal. It is said that these
governments recognized the i'm
possibility of any of their repre-
sentatiyes remaining in Rome at
this juncture, and they left the
Eternal City on May "a.
The Italian Government had
previously issued an official state
ment announcing that it would
not demand that the German and
Austrian ENJOYS to the Holy See
leave Rome. This was intended to
show that no limit was to be
placed ON the independence Of the
Pope, as provided for in the Law
of Guarantees of 1871, and so
ward off the danger of a future
protest by the Vatican against a
violation Of the law.
If the Italian Government in
sisted on the withdrawal Of the
ENJOYS to the Holy See, it would
be a curtailment of the indie
pendence Of the Pope's spiritual
authority over the Catholics rep
resented by these ENJOYS and the
Vatican would be justified in pro-
testing against such a violation Of
the liberty accorded the Pope by
Ethe Law of Guarantees which is
INTENDED to safeguard the indie
pendence of the Papacy in the eX-
ercise Of it's rights and authority.
While the Law Of Guarantees has
never been accepted by the Holy
See as sufficient for the purpose,
the sending away of the German
and Austrian ENJOYS by the Italian
government would be an open con-
fession Of the fact that even Italy
did not recognize it's binding
force. It would be a diplomatic
faux pas of which the Quirinal
was not likely to be guilty.
These complications show the
necessity Of more definite
guarantee for the independence of
the Papacy in just such a crisis
as the present. It is evident to all
that the Holy Father should be
absolutely unhampered in. the ex-
ercise Of his spiritual authority
over the Catholics of all nations,
whether they are engaged in war
or not. Whether the present stu
alton will bring about a better
understanding between the Holy
See and the italian Government,
the future alone can tell.
