cREEDs AND DoGMAs.

One of the latest forms of attack
that shallow minds have se1nployed in
order to marshal their weapons
against the Catholic Church is that
she has creed, a fixed and pernaa-
nent statement of her faith, a definite
belief, a precise body of doctrines all
of which are capable of being en-
shrined in a formula. expressed in un.
equivocal and una1nbiguous terms. and
which must be protested by all her
children as condition of membership
in her communion, writes Rev. T. F..
Coakley, D. D., in the Pittsburg Catho-
lie. In other words, the Church is as
sailed on the ground that she is en-
phatically dogmatic. whereas the trend
of the modern world is unquestionably
in the opposite direction.
What is a dogma? Al dogma is a
truth. Dogmas are simple, c1ear-cut,
sane, sensible, STRAIGHTFORWARD express
sions of the truths that we know and
believe. Dogmas are employed to
avoid looseness of thought and care
lessness of expression. Dogmas enable
us to clearly arrange our thoughts,
and to express them in the language OF
precision. SO that We ourselves and
others may know what We think.
Those who have 10 clear, dehnite and
exact IDEAS whose jud gments are

brains are clouded. those to whom

READING OF THE SCRIPTURES BY
THE LAITY.

Cardinal Gibbons, in a recent sermon
delivered on the reading of Sacred
Scriptures, said: Resolve to set
aside certain time each day or night
which you will devote to the reading
of a religious book. Select for spirit
ual reading such venerable treatises
of piety as have, by their exceptional
merit survived the wreck of time and
have met the commentator of sue
ceeding generations. But, above all
other books choose the Sacred Scrip
lures. There is a special grace at
tached to the reading of the inspired
volume. 1t will imprint in your soul
a. solid, sturdy and healthy piety. It
is the inexhaustible fountain from
which the Fathers and Doctors of the
Church, Christian, orators and poets
have drawn their inspiration.
Pope Plus VI the highest author
ity in the Church, in an official letter
urgently recommends to the faithful
the pious perusal of the words of God.
BY meditating on the Holy Scriptures
you will nourish your soul with the
Bread of Life"
Let the reader judge for himself be-
tween this statement and the foul, old
calumny that the Church withholds
the Scriptures from the people as re-
peated by those who should know bet
ter, and from whom we should expect
better things.

and the classifying hand Of God, 1t
would be we'll for us. too, to look upon
crosses and gadyersities that befall
us in the course Of life's pilgrimages
as sweet tokens of His special love
for us. This. sensible view Of crosses
and sufferings will put cheer and com
fort into our hearts and enable. us
to bear up manfully under the bur
den. Hence even when the cup of
affliction is pressed to our lips we
may well say "Deo gratias.''
s When we begin some task in the
course of the day---we can insure its
success, at least from the standpoint
of supernatural merit, in no better
way than by the pious aspiration
authorized and sancified by. scriptural
authority: In nomine .Domini' ..'irl
the name Of the Lord" Not, only
large and apparently important works
and undertakings of vast consequen-
.ces may thus be hallowed and .sancti-
fed by invoking the sweet, name of
the Lord, but even our every day toll
and our rounds of ordinary duties.
The consciousness that we are work
ing not for human glory or for the
vain applause of the multitude, but
for the sake of the Lord Christ will
lend courage and inspiration when
WEAKNESS is about to oyertake us.
There is nothing so helpful to the
Christian engaged in the spiritual
combat than a brief and efficacious
appeal for help and pardon. And the
Church like a gracious mother whis-
pers to him the salutary orison:
my Jesus, mercy" We know that
the use of this petition has been
recommended by the greatest saints
of the Church. We all stand in need
of mercy and forgiveness: In the dark
hour of need and temptation and bit.
ter conflict with the powers of evil
let us say, but say with hope and con,
fdence, My Jesus, mercy:
When we are about to answer the
last great call and take our place
beside the vast army 4of the silent
dead, we are once more taught q
supplication, surprising in strength
and holiness. 1t is: Jesus, Mary
and Joseph. After we have praised
the name of the Lord during life
after we have given thanks for botI
the blessings and crosses that have
been our portion, after we have
received mercy and the hope of par
don from Jesus, how appropriate thai
in that last great hour, we shoulc
invoke Jesus, the Savior, Mary oul
mother, and Joseph, the patron of &
happy death? Verify, we are abun
dainty blessed in the multitude. o1
these pious aspirations, which the
Church recommends for our use during
the course of LIES pilgrimage.

IDocfRlNAE. EfTURGicAL.l


punishment due to sin is certainly a
spiritual chain. Therefore, who will
deny that in the above words Of the
Savior the power of loosing it is in
Guided? TO st. Peter power was
given of removing any obstacle pre-
venting entrance to the kingdom of
heaven, but as long as the temporal
punishment due to sins is not re-
moved, it constitutes real impedi-
ment to entering heaven; therefore,
st. Peter and his successors must
have the power to remove it. This
power can be exercised out OF the
Sacrament of Penance; because it is
evident that there is nothing in the
words of Christ whereby this power is
restricted to the Sacrament.
Besides this clear testimony of
Holy Scripture, we have in our favor
the whole of Christian Tradition, The
great apostle of the Gentiles was per-
haps the first to make use of this
power. He communicated the in
cestuous Corinthian, and delivered
him to Satan for the destruction of
his flesh, that his spirit might be
saved. In a little over a year, he
RENTED the penance which he had
imposed, whatever that penance may
have been. In his second Epistle to
the Corinthians, he writes: ITO him
this rebuke is sufficient that is given
by many, SO that contrariwise you
should rather pardon and comfort
him. For what I have pardoned for
your sakes, have / done it in the
person of Christ" There is no ques-
tion here of sacramento absolution;
St. Paul was not present, but he used
the power of renting temporal
punishment due to the Corinthian's
sin; in other words, st. Paul
then did what the Pope now does,
when he proclaims an indulgence.
The early councils of the Church,
such as the Council of Ancyra, held in
315, and that of Laodicea in $40,
clearly explains the belief of the prim-
tive Church on this point. After the
seventh century we find numerous
ecclesiastical punishments COMMITTED
into other pious works of charity or
modification; this was especially
done on the occasion of church dedi.
cations. We have, besides, another
argument. No beginning can be as
signed to either the granting or gain,
ing of indulgences, therefore we must
suppose and believe that it was
introduced by the Apostles them
selves.
4 Indulgences free the soul from the
debt of punishment not only before
the Church, but also before God. St
Thomas proves it by the following
conclusive argument: EFF the Church
granted such indulgences, valid only
for herself and not before Almighty
tGedp she -wesla -rathsrs damage than
help, because she would send the soul
to the more severe pains of purga-
tory by renting the penances i'm
posed" Yet we are to believe as an
article of faith, that the use of .indul
gences is salutary to the Christian
people. Consequently, they must free
the soul from the debt of temporal
punishment also before God.

XIX. Atheism and Science.

Objection: But such scientists as
Du Bois-Reymond and many, many
others are protested atheists, and they
are profoundly learned men.
Answer: In their particular branch
of science they may be profoundly
learned; but beyond what they act
like foolish children. Why don't they
want to acknowledge God as the au-
thor of the world? The only reason
they give is: Where supernatural
ism (meaning here the conviction that
there is Cod begins, science ends. ="
If then we ask for the proof of this
assertion, they say that that is self
evident
AS though it were self-evident that
science and sound human reason did
not agree! Science says: Eeither l
must admit the existence of God or /
can give no efficient cause for the ex-
istence of the world and it's arrange
ment. Sound human reason answers
to this: But there must be an eff
cient cause. Every thing has it's
cause, hence l admit the existence of
God.
Is it not the greatest folly to say:
No, do not want God; otherwise my
thoughts would go beyond this world
(for that is the meaning of the ter
rible" word supernaturalism) and
hence beyond the bounds of science
The memorable law of casualty
demands an efficient cause for this
world, which is behind and above this
world. And to follow this law of
casualty to it's last conclusion should
no longer be science?

Al SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. JOHN or BEVERLEY.

The Benedictine monasteries were
to the Anglo-Saxons homes of piety.
centres of industry, and schools of
learning The monk who left his
ecfoister to rule a diocese gathered
round him crowds of eager students.
StFJohn of Beverley was one of these
great monastic bishops. He spent his
early years at Whitby under st. Hill
7da; and WAS afterwards raised to the
See of Hexham, and then to that of
York. ! He there founded "a school
which became celebrated for it's
learned men, yet none were so poor or
ignorant but St. John tried to instruct
them also in the truths of salvation.
". Bede, one of his pupils, relates the
following among many other miracles
wrought by him. 1t was the holy
Bishops custom to retire during Lent
to- some solitary spot; and ON one
occasion he took with him a poor
dumb youth to support and teach. The
first week st. John spent alone in
prayer. with God. Then, armed with
divine power, he made the sign of the
Cross on the dumb boys tongue, and
babe him speak. The boy uttered the
letter as he was bid, and then day by
day the Saint taught him new letters
and words, till at length the youth
could speak without difficulty. So
delighted was he with. his new gift
that he never ceased expressing the
thought of his mind. ST.. John died
amidst the blessings and tears Of his
flock A. D. 721, and is still yenerated
as the special patron of the deaf and
dumb ..E- a -
1t Infthe beginning of the twelfth cent
AIRY, Gerard, Archbishop of York, made
his first visit to Beverley, and in the
church dedicated to st. John sang
Pontifeal Mass. He had in his train
a youth dead. and dumb from birth.
When the Gloria began the tongue of
the dumb youth was suddenly loos-
ened, and he joined with the others in
the angelic hymn. The Archbishop
being informed of the prodigy, turned
to the people after the Gospel, and
said, See my children, how holy,
how powerful a patron must ours be,
since God wills him to work SO great
a miracle for our sake"

Wanted Excitement.

During the past two or three
weeks numerous fire alarms have
been turned in at the Santa Fe
shops, and the boys would have
run with their carts, but never
could locate any fire. At last it
dawned on them that so many
false alarms must have some con-
tributing cause, so a real Hawk
shaw, in the person of Special
Officer Kinman, was detailed to
locate the trouble. It was only
a matter of a few hours and a
little investigation before the of
fcer had a hunch, and he took
into custody a Mexican boy nam
ed Delphine Martinez as the Of
fender. He is not only charged
with tampering with the alarm
system, but also with damaging
fire hydrants. Sheriff Newman
came down from Holbrook We'd
ne3day, and took the lad back
with him to lodge in the county
jail until such time as Judge Sapp
can give him hearing. The
shop boys got a lot Of practice
running with their fire carts, and
from reliable source we under
stand they used some profanity.
