The Acts of the Apostles.

The words Of our Lord, "The Para
clete, the Holy Ghost whom the Father
will send in my name, he will teach
you all things and bring all things to
your mind, whatsoever | shall have
said to you" set us thinking. What
were the things, which, as the original
has it, Christ said" to his Apostles?
many things which He taught to the
multitude in their hearing. But were
there no private instructions unre-
corded in the Gospels? Passing by
the synagogue of the Alexandrians,
for instance, did Jesus never mention
the copy of the Scriptures read there
in, which contained inspired books not
included in the Jewish Canon? When
he placed Daniel among the prophets,
was there no explanation offered for
this breach of Jewish custom? When
did He institute the sacrament for the
sick, which ST. James promulgates? :?
In those wanderings from town to
town in Judea, in that journey near
the confines of Tyre and Sidon, what
opportunity there was for long in
structions! And we know, as on the
occasion of the TRANSPORTATION, that
Jesus was not averse to giving private
instructions to His Apostles. But
what were they? The Apostles do not
explicitly tell us. They act on their
remembrance illumined by the Holy
Ghost without telling us that their ac-
tion is based on remembrance. The
only supplement, therefore, that we
have to the written Gospels is con-
tanned implicitly in the teaching and
practices of the Apostles. Happily we
have, besides what can be cleaned
from the Epistles, part of this work
told for us in the inspired treatise of
st. Luke, called the Acts of the Apos-
ties, the book which we are about to
read. 1t narrates some of the deeds,
not of all the Apostles, but of Peter
and Paul and of others, who in cer-
tain broad sense were called Apostles.
In this book we shall see that in truth
the Holy Ghost did teach them all
things and we shall contemplate His
manner of teaching.

NJ. Y.

Plans for a temporary home for
Catholic working girls are well under
way in Rochester, N. Y. Nearly
$4,000 has already been contributed
to fund for that purpose.
The subject of a temporary home
for girls who are without work and
strangers in the city was first brought
up at meeting at the Bishops house
last spring and an investigation show
ed the need for such a place. A COM
mittee has been named and system
attic campaign is under way to carry
the project to completion.

ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
The Author.

Let us first take glance at the
writer of this book. | said that st.
Luke is the author, because remote
antiquity says the same. Two great
writer's, who flourished less than a
century after st. Luke's death, who
had documents that we have not, who
travelled from East to West and from
West to East in search of knowledge,
st. Irenaeus and st. Clement of Alex
andria, tell us that Luke is the author
of Acts. st. Justin, who wrote a lit
tie before them, may in all likelihood
be said to ascribe a gospel to st. Luke.
But all agree that the writer of the
third gospel is the writer of Acts. Be-
sides from that remote epoch there
has not come down dissenting voice
except that of heretics, who dissented
not from historical grounds, but be-
cause their doctrines would not accord
with that of the Acts of the Apostles.
or of the system of rejecting books of
scripture, with which novel doctrines
do not accord. TIe was preceded by
Marcion, who did not like the doctrine,
that the Holy Ghost had come before
his time; by the Ebionites, who did
not like the doctrine, that the Mosaic
Law was abrogated; and by the Encra-
tites, who did not like the doctrine
that all food is good; they all accord
ingly rejected this book. Omitting all
other external arguments, we shall
take glance at the following internal
argument for the authenticity of Acts.
1t will enlighten us with regard to the
theme Of this book.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-02-20
Internal Arguments.

st. Paul mentions the Holy Spirit
some eighty times and ''the spirit"
signifying some grace from the Holy
Spirit, some thirty-five times. AS his
Epistles in our quarto bibles occupy
only one hundred pages, he averages
more than one mention of, or allusion
to, the Holy Spirit to a page. The
Holy Spirit, therefore, fills his thought
and the thought of the Holy Spirit
gives lofty tone and marvellous vigor
to his style. He takes standpoint
above natural emotions and the laws
of nations, above the dictates of rea-
son and the enactments of the Law of
Moses, and writes from the stand
point of heavenly impulse and light,
being endowed with that same Spirit
"who searcheth the deep things of
Cod" Now this standpoint is clearly
reflected in the writings of the author
of Acts.
In fact, this author mentions in the
third Gospel the Holy Ghost more
times than any other Evangelist, and
in the Acts he mentions the Holy
Ghost some fifty-nine times. The Acts
has so continuously the work of the
Holy Ghost in view that anciently it
was called the Gospel of the Holy
Ghost. Here we have narrated the
promise of the Holy Ghost, the COM
ing of the Holy Ghost, marvellous dis
courses preached under the influence
of the Holy Ghost, a description of
sins against the Holy Ghost. the con-
version of Samaritans and of GentiIes
under the guidance of the Holy Ghost,
the assembly of the Apostles convened
in the Holy Ghost, and the great mis-
sion of st. Paul to the Gentiles by di-
rection of the Holy Ghost. Thus the
book is wholly given to narrating the
work of the Holy Ghost in those first
beginnings and therefore it is just
what we would expect from a compan-
ion of st. Paul.

RUSSIANS CLAIM
CONTROL OF PASSES
Berlin advices

LONDON, April Berlin advices
early this afternoon assert the fighting
in the Carpathians continues with I'M
usual severity, and that the desperate
struggle going for two weeks past in
that region, has crystallized into the
most sanguinary fighting yet chroni-
cled. The Russians pushing through
SHOWS persist in their efforts to dis
lodge Austrian forces from the noun
tain passes, Notwithstanding the Sc
verify of the weather. Little has been
accomplished blythe attackers; accord
ing to Berlin reports, but from ,Petro-
grad, an altogether different story
story of the fighting is sent out. The
Russian authorities claim to have
achieved substantial results during to-
days fighting and assert that Russian
mastery of the Carpathian range is
practically complete.
The collapse of the German cam
paign in northern Poland is further in
dictated by claims sent out from Petro-
grad late this afternoon. Correspon-
dents Of London afternoon newspapers
assert the Germans along the west
bank of the river Nieman have hastily
retreated from their second line of
defense, and that the trenches there
are now occupied by Russian troops.
Losses during the fighting in this sec
ton are not detailed, but are believed
to have been heavy. ..

WANT To ANNEX
GERMAN COUNTRY
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 2-Emile Vader-
velde, socialist leader and minister of
state for Belgium, displays a view as
to annexing new territory to Belgium,
if Belgium shall be reconquereQ and
Germany crushed that fails to please
the more ardent Ike Steele, the Bel
gian journal, now publishing in
Havre.-
Belgians, NJ. Vandervelde declared,
are not ambitious, and the only pare
they would likely to annex is the grand
duchy of Luxembourg, providing the
Luxemburgers themselves wish it. He
added that if it could be done without
injustice and by the consent of the
people, some of the bordering country
whose population is Belgian rather
than German might also be taken over
But as to conquering and annexing
any true part of Germany, that M.
Vandervelde could not think of.
The Ike Steele, answering the Soc
ialist minister, comes out for a
Great Belgium, and advocates the an
nexing of Germany territory to include
Axle hapelle.
Both M. Vandervelde and the Ike
Steele are in turn criticized by the
Independence Beige, published IN
London, for their prematureness. 1t
says editorially:
Let us first say that it seems at
least inopportune to nourish pro-
iects of conquest at time when our
thoughts ought to be centered on the
delivery of our country from German
domination.
Our heroic soldiers fall in defense
of our country and not to rob the Ge;'-
mans Of theirs. Let these criminals
be put in a position where they can
not hurt us, but let us have no ambi-
ton to initiate them Aix-le-Chapelle
has always been German city. Be-
sides, nothing would be more absurd
than to break the equilibrium between
the Latin and German elements Of our
country"

GERMAN SUBMARINES
SINK THREE TRAVELLERS
(By Associated Press.

NEWCASTLE, Eng, April 2.-Three
Tyne trawlers have been sunk in the
North Sea by the German submarine
U-10, according to authentic informa-
ton reaching here today.
The fishing boats were proceeding
to the banks when surprised by the
German warship, and the crews or
dered into boats. The three ships
were then sunk by means of bombs
placed in the hull, and the submarine
took the small boats containing the
crews in two. Proceeding toward
Tyne, a small fishing vessel was
sighted and the German commander
'overhauling the vessel placed his
prisoners on board. The men were
then brought to this port and landed.

says eleven men, comprising the crew
of the Norwegian bark Nor, torpedoed

Workn1en Busy
In FatherLand
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, April 2.-The latest Gov
eminent summary of conditions in the
lobor market shows that further i'm
provement was registered in January.
In total of 100000 workmen organ
lied in $50 branch association the
number of persons without employ
ment was only SIS per cent, as COM
pared with 10 per cent in December.
The percentage of unemployed for
January varies but little from pre-
vious years and is regarded as quite
satisfactory for the mid-winter month.
Similar reports were sent in by the

public employment bureaus. Near the
end of last August these had 150,622
more applicants for work than they
could satisfy, but on February 13$the
number was only 57,397. On the other
hand, there were on the latter date 21,-
983 applicants of employers for help
that could not be filed, as against only
4,419 in August.
Some of the details of the Govern
ment summary are interesting. 1t is
mentioned that iron foundries are
working over time and at night on
orders, and that steel and
rolling mills are also in part working
over time. Some branches of the ma
trade, like locomotives steam
engine and boiler shops, also estab-
lishments for building bridges AMI
other iron construction and railway
cars, were all very busy. Electrical
were also working hard
on dynamos, motors, and other sup
plies for the army; and the big chem
ical companies were running some Of

ity. A higher tendency for wages was

" HAS BRIGHT CAREER. &"

The All-Alaska Review, it is now
certain, is going to be a far greater
success than had been anticipated. In
the last mail came a communication
from the mayor of one of the largest
Alaska cities requesting the Review in
behalf of his town to direct attention
to the resources of the place and to
give the fact publicity. Right in this
town today is a gentleman who is as
sociated with the largest mining inter
ests in the country and who has made
bet of one hundred dollars that he
can go to San Francisco and get a
thousand subscribers for the Review,
so anxious are the people, and par
ticularly mining people, to read about
Alaska. The liberty is taken of men
tioning his name. 1t is Mr.. Mccoy.
These are only two examples of the
many ideas expressed concerning the
Review from all quarters. The June
edition is now selling even more quick
ly than the first one and already sub
scribers are coming from the states.
To mention only one example; three
weeks after the issuing of the first
number a subscription came through
George Sexton from big mercantile
house in Philadelphia Another has
come from the government library
and museum at Juneau and various
other organizations. And it is only
