.RIC HES OF .RIT U AL

ing that in the first God is the object,
in the second man ia the object. 1t Is
the very genius of the Catholic Church
to seek first the worship of BOD, as
sured that all else needed for the Wor-
shipper will follow FROM God bounty.
It is perhaps the particular ffalf-truth
Of Professionalism to look upon the end
of worship as some spiritual emotion,
with which in the dim alleyways of
the human soul, can be COMPOUNDED a
mere aesthetic emotion. On the
other hand, the Catholic Church is
almost careless Of the emotion but
Jealous for God.
Under the pressure Of this great
idea the Catholic Church covets to
give God, the Supreme Being, a wor-
ship of supreme perfection.
|. 1t is not content to offer the Most
High only the second best All we
have is not enough for Him Who has
given us all we have-yea, Who has
given us all He has and is.
To keep back the best from God is
to steal from the necessary holocaust.
sMoreover, as the best must be given
somewhere, IF God does not receive
| it, some other creature like ourselves
must receive what is fit only for the
Most High. The Creator is robbed to
pay the creature; and the work of
Gods hands is given the worship due
to God alone.
Now, Art is mans highest express
Esion of intelligence and emotion. Yet
Art even at it's highest is not wholly
worthy of God. Deliberately to offer
Him less than the highest Art, when
we have the highest in our giving,
would be to deny Or slight His God
head.
When, then, the solemn services of
the altar are accompanied by the full
worship of Art-when the rite takes
place in a building planned and built
on noble lines and lavish of noble
spaces when all around on the walls
and distant roof and even on the feet
trodden floor beautiful shapes make
appeal by their form and color-when
the eye is filed with the stately pa
geantry Of serving men and boys and
anointed priests who encircle the
altar with wreath Of mystic move
ment-when the ear is appealed to by
music not made after human har-
monies heard on land or sea, but after
some superhuman melody heard ON
the mount of vision when the life
waited incense summons us Godwards
through our lowliest sense, IloadOubt
every avenue of approach to God is
thronged. Yet the whole ritual is not
a supreme worship offered to our
senses, but Arts supreme offering laid
humbly upon the Altar of'God.
A soul unaccustomed to these high
ways of worship might say, What
sensuqnsness! What idolatry!'' The
exclamation would indeed be true,
and the rite would be ido1atry if of.
fered to the senses or even to. the in
telIigence of man. Yet is it no idol
airy, but poor and hating worship of
the Most High, since it is mans best
offering to God alone.

tsGo-to Church on Sunday, Jan.
uary 81. I'll be there Such Is
the slogan adopted by the Central
Park Methodist, Central Presby,
terrain and First Baptist churches
of ST. Paul in a get-together cam
peign to increase the attendance
at their Sunday services. It is
one of several plans to be employ
ed by the pastors Of these
churches in preparation for a
month 8 eyangelistic campaign
which will begin March 81 1t
may help somewhat; but when
people know that they areSunder
no obligation that binds iii epn-
science to go to church on Sun
day, they are not likely to make
very strenuous efforts to be pres
ent. At the bottom Of all. this
o-To- Church Sunday cam
paign lies the consciousness on the
part of the churches that they
have no authority to impose, on
their members any moral obliga,
ton to attend church regularly
on Sunday. This is one Of the
radical defects Of the non-C Catholic
churches and it, must continue to
be a defect as long as they are
outside the pale OF the one true
Church established by the Saviour
of mankind.

EARLY CLOSING DECREASES
49, CRIME.

Mr.. Robert Wallace, the chairman
of the London (EngIand) criminal
sessions, maintains that the earlier
closing of public-houses-"s saloons"
has caused an enormous decrease
in crimes of violence and disorder.
Figures / have obtained" he said
recently, are. SO remarkable. that
they ought to be known. During the
first nine months of this year s103
of these charges came here. The
eleven o'clock closing order was In
troduced, and the result was that in
October the number fell to FIVE. In
that month the closing order was
altered to 10 p. M, and in Nove1ns
Der the cases fell to two, whilst to-
day, almost for the first time in the
history Of the county, we have not
a single wounding case to deal with.
People may talk about theories hut
these are facts and figures: Il trust
that the lessons which this war is
teaching lls, and the. experience that
is derived from it, will have their
effect on future legislation" 81
Commenting on the above, the
Tablet of London says:
why have we not the courage OF
our knowledge, and why does not tho
country insist that all public-houses
should be shut up-at 10 p. M. and re-
main closed until twelve o'clock on
the following day? The whole nation
would be the better and the happier,
and the richer, for the change"

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS.

We are informed by "The Cath
olic Register of Denver, Colo,
that the diocesan parochial school
board, at a meeting held last
week, decided to cooperate with
the public school board in a plan
for inparting religious instruc7
|tion to the pupils in the public
schools. The publpschool author
titles have agreed to give credits
good at the State Teachers Col
|llege to members of all churches
which establish Bible study classes
for their followers. Each denomi-
nation will conduct it's own classes
lin accordance with a curriculum
which all must follow as far az
their creeds permit.
/ It was decided by the Catholic
school board that classes would
meet opce a weekin the Cathedral
school alall, the most centrally 10
Gated Of all the Catholic schools OF
Denver. Not only tie Catholic
pupils 2aDf the public high schools
but also the students Of all Cath
|ioIie high schools, will attend these
|elasses. Priests FROM different
parishes will give weekly lectures
and fhe students will be<cofApelled
TO take notes and pass an examin-
alton at the. end of the course.
The credits will be based equally
upon the examinations and the
note books.
This Bible study course is in
line with the movement: inaug.l-
rated some time ago at the State
Teachers College at Greeley,
Colo, where religious instruction
is carried on in such a way as not
/ to give offence to the religious
|convictions Of any student The
Catholic students receiFe their IN
structions from Rev. AZ B. Casey,
pastor Of the Church Of st. Pat
rick in: that city.
This plan has much to commend
|it3to the favorable consideration
of the general public, and there is
no reason why it should not work
out satisfactorily in other ] deali,
ties and thus go far to- solve the
|pexed problem Of religious In
struction in the public schools.

BIBLE READING IN THE PUB
Lie. SCHOOLS.

The Rev. Wilbur r. Crafts,
head of the international Reform
Bureau of Washington, has come
Ito the Twin Cities to enlighten
Jour benighted people on the sub
ject of Bible reading in the pub
lie schools. He deplores the
"lamentable condition" of the
ten states of the Union in which,
he says, there is no reading of
the Bible in the public schools. =
Minnesota is one Of those
heather states which forbids
by law the reading of the Bible
in the schools. - If DIR. Crafts re-
main long in the State he will
find that many Of the public
schools are disobeying the law by
reading the Bible to their pupils
and that they have no intention
LOT giving up the practice unless
it can be shown, as it has been in
the case of some Of the high
schools, that it will be for their
pecuniary advantage to do so.
DR.. Crafts says that in New
York the Bible has been read in
the schools for years and no OBJ
lection has been raised by any
one. He quotes members Of the
Board of Education to the effect
that . the system is a great sue
cess and members Of all denomi-
nations and religions are working
| together in perfect harmony. ,
We are inclined to doubt this
statement, as far, at least, as
Catholics are concerned. They
are never satisfied to have their
|children read q mntilated Bible;
for, Of course, the Bible which DIR.
Crafts would have read in, the
schools is the Protestant Bible.
Their objection is something
more than the fictitious q ghost Of
Esectarianism2' which he says is re-
Esponsible for keeping the Bible
tout OF the public schools. DR..
Crafts is laboring under the false
Impression that reading the Pro-
testant Bible in the public schools
is the same as teaching religion
in these institutions. Catholics
have no objection to- the teaching
Eof religion in schools. They. have
always insisted on it and have
gone so far as TO erect and equip
their own schools in order that re-
Ihgion may be taughtfwithout vio-
llating the principle offthe Consti-
tuition which requires that the
public schools be kept free from
|sectarian teaching OF all kinds.
Catholics are. opposed to the
|feaehing of the Bible in the pub
llic schools noteonly because it vio-
|lates the Constitution, but because
the Bible which is TO be used for
this purpose is the Protestant
Bible. Even Protestants who are
SO anxious to have the Bible read
hin the public schools would not
select the Catholic Bible for that
purpose. Even the subterfuge Of
making selections from the Bible
and reading these does not
change the situation for they
would not be willing to incorpo-
rate in this book any passages that
SAVIOR Of Catholicism. This would
cut out Of the Bible a great many
of its most important parts. We
are afraid that DIR. Crafts efforts
to enlightcn the public will not
bring about a solution of the
much-discussed question of Bible
reading in the public schools.
