AN EDIFYING SIGHT.


A pathetic but edifying scene
was witnessed in the St. Paul
Union Depot last Monday morn
ing when two Belgian girls, aged
nine and six, respectively, who
were travelling alone from Brus-
sells, Belgium, to Edmonton,
Canada, and who had spent the
night in the depot, knelt down
beside the bench on which they
had slept and said their morning
prayers. With joined hands and
faces upturned in supplication
they prayed with devotion and
recollection, entirely oblivious OF
the curious attention Of the people
about them. It was a sight not
usually witnessed under such cir
cumstances.
Evidently, the children had
been well brought up in a Cath
Ollie home. 1t was the usual thing
for them to begin the day with
prayer and even in these strange
surroundings the custom was not
forgotten. Who shall say that
the lesson was lost on those who
witnessed it?

GREAT THINKERS "SEE"
GOD IN NATURE.

Lately there passed away in
France a great man of science,
the most noted entomologist of
the world, J. Fl. Fabre, whom Vic
tor Hugo was used to call "The
Homer of Insects. To a visitor
he said:
After my eighty-seven years
of observations and reflections /
cannot say that I believe in God
| see Him. Without God | under
stand nothing: without Him all is
darkness. Not only have | pre-
served this conviction despite my
studies, but | have aggravated or
ameliorated it, as you may wish to
term my state of mind. Every
epoch has its decisions. | con-
slider atheism as the delusion OF
our epoch. It is the malady of
our present time. One would de
spoil me of the cuticle of my body
sooner than of my belief in God. :
Thus it is that all great think
ers "sce" God in the works OF
nature. 1t is always, AS ST. Paul
once wrote, the fact, that through
the visible things Of the creation
we perceive, if we are not blind OF
soul, plainly and Enthusiastically
the splendor of the power and Of
the wisdom of the Creator.

But, above all, it has developed
missionary spirit in the clergy
and people Of the Catholic Church
in the United States and helped to
preserve the faith Of Jesus Christ
to thousands of scattered Catho-
lies in every portion Of our own
land, especially in the country
districts and among immigrants.
It has been a clearinghouse for
Catholic home mission activity
and nothing that would tend to
foster the growth Of this chart
table spirit among the people has
been foreign to its endeavors.
But no brief reference such as
the foregoing can give an ade-
quate idea of the many-sided ac-
tivity Of the Church Extension
Society since its organization.
One must read the report itself
in the December issue Of Exten-
sion Magazine to obtain anything
approaching a true conception of
its work and Of the possibilities
of the future. On this point alone
the current Extension Magazine
will repay close perusal; but in
addition to this the magazine con
tains the usual interesting and
varied assortment of Catholic
reading. Those who subscribe for
it not only help to promote the
spread Of good Catholic literature
but also aid the specific purpose
for which the Society was organ
lied.

A PAGAN EDITORIAL.


The omniscient DIR. Crane, whose
editorials are featured in the ST.
Paul Dispatch, took occasion, in
last Saturdays issue, to commend
the action of the Chicago physi-
clan who allowed a defective baby
to die rather than prolong its life
by an operation. He recommended
that the state be given the right
to decide whether or not children
so afflicted be allowed to live.
This pagan conception of the
sanctity of human life, this I'M
Christian denial Of the right of
the individual to the ordinary
means, at least, for preserving
the life given him by God, i'll
becomes one who, we are told,
graduated from the ministry into
journalism. The public express
sion of such views is an insult to
the intelligent people of the com
munity and when supposedly
reputable paper gives them the
stamp Of its approval it merits
the condemnation of every reader,

An immigration bill has already
made it's appearance in Congress
and another will soon be intro
duced. Senator Dillingham; OF
Vermont has introduced bill
providing that male aliens more
than sixteen years old, who can
not read, be excluded from the
United States. Representative
Burnett of Alabama, proposes to
introduce measure practically
the same in form as that which
failed of passage in the last Con-
gress.
Similar bills have been intro
duced from time to time for many
years. On three occasions, after
much opposition, they passed but
were vetoed by the then Presi-
dents Cleveland, Taft and Wilson,
because they violated American
traditions as to the admission OF
aliens into this country. All
these bills were aimed at the peo-
pie of Southern Europe, most OF
whom are Catholic, and were sup
ported by the forces of bigotry.

EDUCATION WITHOUT
RELIGION.

In the course Of an address de-
hvered this week before the mem
bers Of the College Women s Club
in Minneapolis, DR.. Richard Bur
ton, a member ofcthe faculty of
the University Of Minnesota, said
in reference to that institution:
We learn too much about
horseshoeing and too little about
the spirit Of God. Our young
people are taught how to embalm,
how to make bread and lot of
other things, but one Of the most
vital phases of education is over
looked. We are so ethically in
sensitive that we Willie to be on
a football team. Do not let us
defy the brain, the emotions are
infinitely more vital.
"When I came here seventeen
years ago." he continued, they
had prayer every day at the Uni
versity; now they have three-and-
a-half minutes Of prayer with 9th
er frills in chapel twice a week.
This lack Of recognition Of God
and ethics is kicking the heart
out Of the centers of eddcation."
What DIR. Burton says Of the
University Of Minnesota may be
Dredicated of similar institutions
throughout the country, for it ex-
hibits the tendencies common to
all of them. This is a sad com
mentary ON the training given
young men and women in insti-
buttons which are supposed to rep
resent the highest ideals Of the
public school system in this coun-
try. There is only one way of ac-
counting for 1.-THE absence of
definite religious training.

A DECADE OF HOME MISSION
WORK.

The current issue Of Extension
Magazine, giving a resume Of the
work Of the Catholic Church Elk
tension Society of the United
States for the first ten years Of
it's existence, makes instructive
and inspiring reading for all
and their name is legion-who are
interested in the home missionary
activity of the Church which it
has done so much to promote and
foster.
The preliminary meeting which
marked the inception Of the prof.
ect to organize such a society in
this country was held in Chicago
on October Is, 1905, at the resi-
dence Of the late Archbishop
Quigley who, from that day to the
time of his lamented death, was
most enthusiastic advocate of
the Society and it's first Chancel-
lor.
That the time was ripe for the
Inauguration Of such movement,
no one who is at all familiar with
the work of the Society will deny.
The success which has accompa-
MED its efforts is the best criterion
of the opportuneness of the work.
It's establishment was providen-
tial.
During the first three months
of the Society's existence $1,934
was received. In 1906, the first
full year, $34,080.79 was contrib
uted, and during the fiscal year
just closed the cash donations
reached a total of 1892, S54.58
The moneys that flowed into It's
treasury were not allowed to re
main there. They were poured
out generously on the altar OF
missionary zeal in response to ap-
peals coming from the poorer sec.
tions of the United States in ever
increasing volume.

of the things which the Exten.

sion of this question in a recent

speak on theological subjects of
which he has shown himself pro-
-foundly ignorant in the past.

CHRISTMAS CATECH|SM
FACTS WHICH EVERY ONE
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CHRIST
MAS AND ITS LITURGY.
When was Christ born?

When was Christ born?
About 1000 years after the creation
OF the world, in the second year of the
reign of the Emperor Augustus.
Why do priests say three Masses on
Christmas Day?
To indicate the three-fold birth of
Christ, according to the distinction of
His two natures, and also of the graces
which He confers on us.
Of what birth does the first Mass
remind us?
1t reminds us of His divine birth
from His Heavenly Father, according
to His divine nature.
The second Mass?
Of the temporal birth of Christ OF
the Virgin Mary, according to His
human nature.
The third?
Of the spiritual birth of Christ in
the hearts of Christians by His Sacra-
ments and grace.
Why does the Church have Mass at
midnight on Christmas Day?
First, to indicate that the eternal
birth of Christ is, for us, hidden in
mystery; second, because Christ was
born at midnight; third, to indicate
that those who lived under the laws
OF nature were as yet walking in
spiritual darkness.
Why is the second Mass celebrated
early in the morning, at the break OF
day?
First, to indicate that those who
lived under the law of Moses, like the
shepherds to whom the birth of Christ
was announced, did not have as clear
knowledge of God as we have; sec.
ond, because the shepherds came
about dawn to Bethlehem to adore
the newborn Christ.
Why is the third Mass celebrated
at broad daylight.
To indicate, first, that the birth of
Christ has given us the broad light OF
the knowledge of God; second, that
the spiritual birth of Christ takes
place under the influence of His en-.
tightening grace.
Why does the priest kneel at the
altar at the High Mass on Christmas
Day when the eft incarnatus est is
sung?
Because the article of the creed
(credo) contained in the eft incarna
tus est" refers to Christmas Day in
particular.

convent, accompanied a convoy of
wounded English soldiers discharged
from the hospital to Rouen. On her
return she found the Germans in oc-
cupation, but she re-entered the town
the day after their departure and re-
sumed her work at the hospital with
an energy and devotion truly remark
able.
"Soeur Joseph and Soeur Blanche,

THE MODERN PHYSICIAN AND
ALCOHOL.

John d. Quackenbos, A. NJ, M. D.,
Emeritus Professor, Columbia Univer-
sity and Fellow of the New York Acad-
envy of Medicine, New Hampshire
Medical Society, American Medical
Association, and American Association
for the Advancement of Science, writes
as follows in the Temperance Cause:
II have been asked to define the po-
sition of the medical profession in re-
gard to the use of alcohol as bever-
age and as a therapeutic agent. 1t is
distinctly unfavorable today. Ply
sicians look upon alcohol as a protO-
plasmic poison, and are advising
against its employment where it was
once warmly recommended, as, for
instance, in nervous depression, dys-
pepsia, insomnia and tuberculosis. We
now know that alcoholic drinks inter-
fere with digestion, predispose to
cardiorenal and pulmonary troubles,
and impair the elimination of toxins
created in the body which are the
cause of gastric acidity, sleeplessness
and general neurasthenia, as well as
of high blood pressure and premature
arterioslerosis. Thus the use of alco-
hol Indirectly contributes to the de-
velopment of form of arterial degen-
Grafton designated as hardening,
which is directly due to auto-intoxica-
ton accentuated by the ingestion of
alcohol. The majority of people over
eat and under-exercise. Sixty per
cent of Americans work indoors at
sedentary vocations, and these drink
moderately as a habit, and over-smoke
as well, in response to the demand of
a system depressed by a superabun-
dance of food that cannot be disposed
of, and of unnatural work that keeps
up the demand What these persons
drink to reinforce nervous energy is
| itself most dangerous compound
made of crude grain or potato spirits,
or fusel oil, and various essences
manufactured in laboratories-a COM
pound sixteen times as deadly in its
effects on the brain and other organs
as is ethyl alcohol in pure whisky.
And the beer and ale of this country
all contain sulphurous acid and other
adulterants, much of it preservatives,
rendering it antagonistic to digestion
which is form of fermentation, and
constituting it a kidney and liver ir-
ritant which has to be reckoned with
by the doctor and is taken into seri-
GUS consideration by life insurance
companies. Diseases of the kidney
have increased twenty per cent with
the sophistication and improper manu-
facture of beer"

a spirit of fraternal affection and
sympathy with the great Protes-
tant churches. Only in these
latter days has different spirit
developed among us.
DR.. Van Allen who contends for
Catholic Protestant Episcopalian-
ism says:
Eve will have nothing to do
with any propaganda of aggres-
sive proselytizing among Roman
Catholics We feel that
any possible advantage from such
a conference SIS would be
far outweighed by the discord
among ourselves such participa
ton is certain to produce. And
we are frank to say that we sus-
pect deeper purpose than any
yet avowed, namely the endeavor
officially to rank this church,
which has preserved the Catholic
order and the Catholic sacramento,
as merely one among Protestant
bodies. To this we shall never
consent. -
If the Protestant Episcopal
Church takes part in the forth
coming Congress, it will tacitly
avow itself Protestant, rather than
Catholic, for it will make common
cause with the other non-Catholic
sects in their attempts to prosely-
tie the Catholics Of Central and
South America. In such a case,
all who say that the Episcopal
Church is a branch of the Catholic
Church must, if they be consist
emf, make vigorous protest. They
must realize that the very pres
ence Of delegates from the
Protestant sects at Panama is an
insult to the Catholic people of
that locality, as well as to all the
inhabitants Of South America
who belong to the Catholic Church
which is in complete union with
Rome.
The Catholic Church is already
in possession. She has done and
is doing her work without inter
fering with any Of the sects.
Calumnies, it is true, have been
uttered against her; but that was
to be expected and it cannot be
helped as long as Protestant mis-
sionaries are blind to the real
religious conditions in these
Republics.
AS a matter of fact this Pan
Protestant Congress will not at
tain the object sought by its pro
moters, namely, the evangelical
ton Of the Catholics in the Cen
trail and South American Repub-
lies. The most it can do is to
weaken the faith Of the few
Catholics who may be willing to
attend. 1t cannot make Protes-
tants Of any Of them.
Finally, instead of sending dele
gates to this Congress, the
different denominations should
devote themselves to work nearer
home. There is not a Protestant
settlement in this country where
religion is not disappearing The
churches are empty, the sermons
are political or semi-political in
character, and all kinds Of novel
expedients are resorted to in
order to keep up semblance OF
| Christian worship. There is work
enough for each denomination in
| the localities where it is already
established if it will only attend
to it's own business. There is nc
need to go abroad in search OF
people to evangelize, especially il
these people are as solidly
grounded in the Catholic faith
/ today as they have been for the
past three centuries.

CHURCH DESTROYED BY FIRE

The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes
Victoria, Texas, was destroyed by fire,
together with the comparatively new
pipe organ, and a splendid bell. The
Blessed Sacrament, the sacred YES.
sells. vestments and statues were res
cued by neighbors. The Church OF
Our Lady of Lourdes was built in
1875, of fine Florida lumber brought
from Indianola. The building and or
gan were insured for $4,000, but the
loss far exceeds this amount.
