Worldly Success.

his ambition Christian success as op
posed to mere worldly success.
Evening star., 1915-06-14

He summed up worldly success in this
slogan. Get on. get honor. get honest"
He explained this by showing that
man who only looks for material sue
cess attains it by any means possible
without being caught and exposed by
the laws of the land. Having attained
financial success he seeks honors. in
collegiate degrees. political preferrnent
and in the world of art, most of when
he buys. Then, as he rea aches the sum
NIT of his career and looks toward the
shadows of the hereafter he recalls
many PROSTATE forms that had been
uniuStly laid low by him that they
own material advancement. and ne
seeks to make restitution by generous
endowments and ostentatious charities.
even if these never reach the ones TO
whom they rightfully belong.
In contrast, "Christian success. he
asserted. has to be won by unswerV-
ing honesty, purity of life, sobriety,
respect for the rights of others and
devotion to the interests of Christ.
But a Georgetown graduate must do
more than that. he claimed. He must
be of service to mankind by teaching
mankind the truth and defending man
kind from its enemies. The greatest
enemy he defined as false philosophy
false principles of logic. cosmology,
systems of education. sociology. etc:
These are very prevalent now, he
u.
realize until he sees some of the prod
ucts of these false theories. The
Georgetown graduate, he insisted, with
his knowledge of the principles of
Catholic philosophy, ought to examine
the worlds new thought in the light
of these principles and detect the err
rors and expose and crush them. The
college graduate should not cease his
study after he has received his di-
ploma, but should consider it a sacred
duty to expose these false principles
before they have had an opportunity
to tester on society.
The preacher took issue with DR..
Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard, who in recent utterance
decla red that Christianity can never
eEd the war in Europe, because Chris
tianity had tried and failed. Father
Gaynor characterized this as "delirious
rant" and detailed the false principles
of Christianity that have been followed
by the nations at war and contrasted
them with the true Christian principles
His final admonition to the graduates
was that their alma mater will always
be proud of their success and eager
to encourage and take pride In their
honors, but that while watching low
ingly and pridefully to see them at
tain the very topmost pinnacle of fame
and material success she warns them
to take no step toward that proud po-
sition that is not also step nearer to
the kingdom of God. If actuated al
ways by that ambition, be their sue
cess great or be they the heroes who
fall in the battle of life while nobly
fighting for principle and justice, con-
scientiously always doing their best,
alma mater will always welcome them
with loving arms.

WILSON'S MEXICAN
POLICY CRITICISED
Perkins Writes to President,
Using Phrase "Butted In"
as Text.

George W. Perkins, chairman OF the
Progressive party. in the following let
ter sent on Saturday to President Will
son sharply criticises the Administra-
tons Mexican policy
MY Dear Mr. President:
81 am impressed with the following
statement made by you in your speech
at Columbus yesterday:
1.-The Mexicans may not know what
to do with their Government, but that
Is none of our business. and 80 long AZ
] have the power to prevent IT nobody
shall 'butt in" to alter 1t for them
This statement seems to me to be
in sharp contrast TO you actions In
Mexico-actions which have caused our
country so much embarrassment and
humiliation. When you refused to rccog-
MIC Huerta you certainly "butted in
in Mexico. I address you on the sub
ject because I earnestly believe that IN
the manner in which you butted In II
Mexico Is found the root OF all the trou'
BILE and humiliation to which our coun
try has been subjected, not only witt
Mexico but other foreign countries rs
well.
When you Quilted in in Mexico yoy
demanded that our flag be saluted you
sent our troops to Vera Cruz YOU
'ec 'Hs SN"u "V" e'' w W.
honor behind you abandoned our de-
mand hat our flag be saluted. These
with countless other incidents In Mexico
caused Germany and other nations I,
realize that our foreign policy was so Il
considered. so short sighted. 30 impotenI
and pointless that they had absolutel,
nothing TO fear from US. and conse
quently they have treated us with scorr
and with impunity.
The result Is that our prestige to
day IN every foreign capital Ia at q
lower b than ever before reached, anc
| believe that very many American.
join me in the feeling that all this is
directly traceable to the fact that at th'
beginning OF the Mexican situation 30,
did not act as you now talk.
"As the contrast between you state
ment OF yesterday and your action a
the beginning of the Mexican situation
Is at such wide variance II occurs TO ~
that there may be some reason for
which you might at this time be willins
