PUTTING THE BLAME WHERE
IT BELONGS.

During the past two weeks the
readers OF. the daily papers have
been regaled with the story OF a
minister of certain denomina-
ton who fell from grace by in
dulging a propensity for marry
ing without taking the precau-
ton to be divorced from one
woman before he took to himself
another. As a consequence, his
sin has found him out and now he
is III the tolls. The hand Of the
law has fallen upon him and he
must answer for his misdeeds.
The fact that he is minister has
been paraded as If that had any
thing to do with the case except
IN SO far as it is an aggrayating
circumstance. OF course, as 4

THE MENACE INDICTED.

The following telegram was re-
ceived by the Hon. G. d. O'Brien of
st. Paul, on January Is, from Mr..
Paul Blackwell Of st. Louis: "The
st. Louis Republic of today an
nounces that the Menace Publish
ing Company Of Aurora, Mo-, and
its officers, w. +. Phelps, Presi-
dent, Marvin Brown, managing
editor, and Rev. I. c. Walker,
editor, were indicted by federal
grand jury sitting at Joplin, Mo-,
on charge of sending improper
matter through the mails. "
This will be good news to all
who have been bombarding Post
master General Burleson with let
ters asking that the mailing priv
leges of this despicable sheet be
revoked by the postal department
on the ground that it is unfit for
transmission through the mails
because of the obscene and sour
rilous nature of its contents. 1t
would seem as if the Department
had at length taken cognizance of
these protests and instituted pro-
ceedings to debar the Menace
from the mails. 1t is only fair to
state that Il great deal of credit
for this is due to Mr.. Blackwell OF
st. Louis who has called the at
tention of the Postmaster General
TO the statutes and legal prcce-
dents bearing on the case. We
hope his efforts will be ultimately
crowned with victory. The cas-,
will be tried i'll June, and the de

THE WORST PART OF II.

u y
The Catholic priest, who said the
worst saloon is the best saloon, had a
sympathizer in the Quaker referred to
in the New Republic
Several persons, among them a
Quaker, were crossing the mountain
in stage. A lively discussion arose
on the subject of temperance and the
liquor business, and those engaged In
it were handled without gloves. One
/ of the company remained silent
After enduring it as long as he could,
he said:
Gentlemen, / want you to under
stand that I am liquor dealer. I
keep a public house at -, but
would have you to know that have
a license and keep decent house. /
do not keep loafers and loungers
about my place, and when man has
enough, he can get no more at my
bar. sell to decent people and do
a respectable business
He thought he had put a quietus on
the subject, and that no answer could
be given. Not so. The Quaker said
Friend, that is the most damnable
part of thy business. If thee would
sell to ,drunkards and loafers, thee
would help kill off the race, and so
ciety would be ridNof them. But thee
takes the young, the poor, the limo
cent and unsuspecting, making drunk
ards and loafers of them. When their
character and money are all gone,
thee kicks them out and turns them
over to other shops to finish off, and
thee enshares others and sends them
on the same road to ruin"

minister, lie should have known
better than to tlansgress the
moral law. In the same way one
might argue that lawyer who
breaks the law is more guilty than
one who does not belong to the
profession because he has clearer
knowledge of the law. But no
one would blame the legal profess
sion because Of the crime of one
of its members; then why should
one blame this minister's religion
because of his misdeeds?
AS a matter of fact, we do not
think that any man of common
sense lays this minister crime at
the door Of the denomination to
which he belonged. But if he
were priest, there are many who
would condemn the Catholic
Church because of his fall. His
crime would immediately be
charged to his religion and the
Catholic Church would, as a con-
sequence, suffer in the minds Of
many.
No man, unless obsessed by
unreasoning bigotry, will main
tain that this minister sinned be-
cause Of his religion. Had he fol
lowed the teaching Of his church
he would not be guilty Of the
charges made against him. He
fell, therefore, III spite of the
teaching of his denomination.
His church and its doctrines are
not to be blamed for his failure to
lead good life and no man of
common sense will say that his
religion was bad because he, as
an individual, sinned. The blame
must be placed upon the individu-
al and not on the church. This
is lesson which many people
need to learn.

But the shepherd must not only
provide good pastures for his flock,
he must also guard the flock from the
wolves. Now, there are many sys-
TENS founded on reason alone, which
issue in such denials, as would utter
ly destroy all revelation. Such are
denials of the existence of God, of the
soul, of immortality, of our power to
acquire certain knowledge, ETC., and
the Church to guard the deposit of
Faith must have the infallible author
ity to detect them and to condemn
such errors. Further, the Church has
a right for grave reasons to use pre-
cautionary measures. Hence Bishops
in their dioceses and the Roman con-
gregations for the world may pro-
scribe books, which are pernicious, or
issue other doctrinal decisions. Such
decisions are not infallible, but both
interior and exterior submission is
due them.

The Function of Tradition.

OF all the questions which arise al
once from this hasty exposition of the
revelation between the Church and
the Bible, l shall select only one to
answer.
People may say, how can the Pope
and Bishops know more than the pro
fessors in the great Universities of
the world, -linguists, oriental schol-
ars, Psychologists, students of the
Bible, etc. How are Catholic scholars,
admittedly eminent men, being con
tinually condemned by men with
scarcely half their learning? The
answer is simple. The Church not
only carries (what is most Important
the correct sense of Scripture, but also
by Divine Tradition many other
things, which the fragmentary Scrip
lures omitted. In fact, only five
at most of the twelve Apostles wrote
anything Yet all worked for years il
the Lords vineyard witnessing to the
truth, establishing the liturgy, and
sowing the seeds of Christian customs
Now the rule followed is that an.
nounced by st. Vincent of Lerins
what has always and everywhere
been taught, what as far as memory
goes back, was never established by
any Council, can surely be set down
as Apostolic teaching. When we sec
the grass of the meadow all sWayine
and bending in one direction, we know
that in that direction the breath OF
spring is blowing. So. likewise, when
we see the minds of the early Chris.
tians throughout the world inclinins
in one spiritual way, we know that il
is the Spirit of God, that is breath
ed upon them. Tradition carries down
thus certain truths and practices
which supplement or illumine thu
ton Of the Saints, prayers for thf
dead, external worship, the humble
and the inspiration OF the Sacred
Books, the distinction Of priests and
bishops, the baptism of infants, and g
hundred others. The Church there
of Christ and the Apostles. She con
dennis not from the standpoint o.
superior talent or erudition, but from
the standpoint of sure knowledge
Those who iInbibe theories opposed
to Christian Tradition imbibe them al
their own risk. The testimony Of &
child who had sure knowledge of 6
fact, has often upset the cleverest
theories Of gifted, lawyers. No one
from this would argue that the chil(
know more law than the lawyers, bu'
the child know more about that one
fact. Perhaps on account of this sure
possession of the truth the Church
while ever solicitous for the integrit!
of the Scripture, has not been from
day to day afraid of every slight in
terpolation. She never trembled fol
her existence on account of the writ
ten word Hence she has found il
necessary only from time to time to
make new revision of Scripture, anf
she has never declared any revision
to be perfect. There is a great revi
sion going on at present, but even il
will not be the last.

Read the Bible.

Take up the Bible, then, with al
reverence, not to find therein new
religion, but to deepen the knowledgC
of the old Read it with the Faith
handed down to you and your hear
will expand with joy as the greaf
truths of religion are presented to yol
in those symbols selected by the Hol'
Ghost Your faith will give you new
eyes to see the great spendor of Thu
light and new ears to hear the sweet
music Of this Tyre. In perusing in the
spirit of Faith these pages, the great
drama of salvation will pass before
you not as riddle to which there is NJ
answer, but as plan developing har
moniously from the fall to the Re
demption The Bible is full of watch
words, which at certain times are
other things being supposed, the shib
oleths of truth. Take them only for
what they are, not for an epitone of
all truth. All truth regards the whole
man, the body and the soul, nature
and grace, truths of reason and Of
revelation. In the Bible you will find
all these and the Faith OF the Church
will teach you to blend them barmoni
ously together. Do not make the mis-
take that any new learning can take
the place of the Spirit of Faith. That
mistake was made of old by those who
stoned the prophets, by those who
crucified Christ. That mistake is be
ing made today by those, who with q
misunderstood Bible in hand ca1um-
mate the Church.
Read the Scriptures for your. own
edification as the early Christians
read them, when their spoken Ian
guage was the language of the Scrip
lures, as the Christians of the middle
ages read them, when they had them
translated into all modern tongues be
fore modern systems of belief were
known. They will broaden your
minds, deepen your Faith, put fervol
into your religious exercises and give
you SAVIOR for the Word of God, thai
scarcely otherwise can be found.
Read the Scriptures for the sake
of Sacred Doctrine. They are the
very phrases which passed through in
spired minds, they are religions his
torica1 documents of the first order
they have ever been the consolation
Of the Saints and the wells, from
which they drew copiously the waters
of salvation. need scarcely add that
it was thorough-going conviction Of
the divinity of Christ that made The
Bible for them such fountain of liz
ing waters.
