BILLY SUNDAY AND BISHOP
BURT.

We commend to the Methodist
Bishop Burt, whose anti-Catholic
utterances have done more harm
to Methodism in this country than
to the Catholic Church, the reply
made by Billy Sunday, the evan
gelist, when asked why he did not
attack the Catholics. He said:
/ am often asked why | do not
preach against the Catholics. [
always reply, 4 find too much
dirt, filth and rubbish in our own
Protestant backyards. 1t keeps
me busy with muck rake, and
[ haven't time to stop to find
fault with my neighbor across the
street. -
If Bishop Burt had any of the
wisdom which is supposed to go
with years and experience he
would realize the futiIity of at
lacking an institution which
measures its age by centuries and
which does not pay the compli-
ment of even passing notice to
his rantings. One would think
that even a Methodist Bishop of
the Burt stamp could learn a les
son once in a lifetime. That
Bishop Burt has not done so is
evident from his recent diatribe
against the Church in the course
of which he says:
Not only would | advocate
the government control Of paro-
chial and private schools, but

THE INHERITED CURSE.

A commission appointed by the
German Government to compare the
descendants of drunkards with those
OF moderate drinkers has just made
its report. 1t studied ten families Of
each class, as result of which it
states that AZ per cent of the children
OF drunkards die within a few months
OF their birth, against only per cent
OIL the children of moderate drinkers.
Among the children OF drunkards
there are 10 per cent idiots, per cent
epileptics, per cent dwarfs, and in
only II per cent of them does the in.

The Alabama Legislature has
administered a severe blow to the
liquor traffic in that state. On
February II, both houses passed,
over the Governor veto, a bill
to prohibit newspapers published
in the state from printing liquor
advertisements and to prevent
the circulation in the state Of pa
perS published outside Alabama
and carrying such advertising.
The new act, which goes into ef,
feet Immediately, also prohibits
liquor advertising by circular,
billboard, display, or otherwise.

The Menace Publishing Com

by Father RoSsmann for its libel

Father Rossmann s victory is the
first setback this paper has re-

Is it too much to hope that this
is the beginning of the end? If

A GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION

A very ready and generous re-
Spouse was made by the parishes
of the Diocese of st. Paul to the
letter Of the Most Reverend Arch
bishop appealing for financial aid
for the destitute and distressed
victims Of the earthquake which
caused such obstruction in Italy
last month. AS a result, the Most
Reverend Archbishop sent to His
Holiness Pope Benedict Nv the
sum of $4,000. By some mistake,
the Catholic Press Association s
cable from Rome made the
amount $500 instead of $4,000.

His Emincnce Cardinal MERCER
Of Belgium is very much in the
public eye at the present time.
1t is interesting to note that his
uncle, Mgr. Cloquet, was for fifty
years a missionary to the Indians
in Oregon. This fact adds to the
interest which American Catholics
take in the great Belgian church
man whose now famous letter has
made him better known than ever
before.

the leaders of the sectarian cam

The Old Moorings of Faith.

1t does appear TO be an inconsis-
tency in Mr.. Eliot's teaching when
he asks us to follow the doctrines of
Jesus, and assumes that the Church
has wandered far from that doctrine.
If he refers to the various denomina-
tions that, like flotsam and jetsam,
litter the sea Of religion, we agree
from their mornings. The Catholic
Church, however, is still for her chill
dren the pillar and ground Of truth,
and for the world in general she is
the only example of steadfast adher-
ence to the pristine doctrines of
Jesus. 1t needs be that wars must
come. Human depravity is too deep
to expect it wholly to purge itself of
all evil. The millennium in the moral
as well as in the social order is still
afar off, and no amount or argument
from the pacificists, so-called, no de-
gree of social service will ever avail
to uproot from the nature of man the
perversity of will that has fallen upon
him from the beginning. Catholics
will continue to ascribe mans present
weakness to the effect of the Fall.
They will persist in ascribing mans
rise to grace through the merits of
Jesus. The Church will ever go for
ward unfiinchingly and dauntlessly in
the face of perils as she has in the
past. Her dogmas are immutable,
her faith unshakable. She will still
endeayor to lead man on the road to
eternal salvation through the maZes
of suffering and tribulations, even
when these result from armed con-
fiicts between the nations. She depre-
Gates war, as she prays in her 1itanies;
she grieves over the evil consequences
that frequently follow in it's wake
she would Danish all war were it pos
sible. But so long as man is in his
present state war will probably con-
tinue, and the Church will still pur-
sue her way heavenward, preparing
man for eternal life, whether that
man die in agony on the field of car
mage, or breathe forth his spirit quiet:
ly in the chamber of death.

press dispatch from Rome.

\ press dispatch from Rome,
dated February II, says: Mgr.
Ladeuze, president of Louvain
University, had an audience with
the Pope to-day, at which he eX-
planned the extent Of the damage
to the college. The Pontitf was
greatly impressed and promised
to raise the necessary funds to
rebuild the university with the
aid Of the Catholics Of the
world.

change apparently is not on a
numerical basis, but all those who

Education and Dogma.

We are reminded that educated
men, as rule, in both Europe and
America, have ceased to be influenced
in their opinions or their actions by
the dogmas of the churches, by the
rewards the churches Offer or by the
puniShments they threaten
This is not strange, nor is it new.
Men have done this before, and they
probably will do it again. The fact
that many have ceased to be SO infu-
enced does not initiate against the
other fact that many are still firm adj
herents to the teachings of their an
cestors: nor does it destroy the value
of the Church. Christ foretold all
this, and st. Paul reiterated it,
But, THE thinking person who is
enduring life of suffering now, on
this earth, is much less disposed than
he used to be to accept as a real con-
ISOLATION another imagined life free
from the struggles and pains of the
present life which only goes to show
that the thinking person of the above
description has completely lost all
idea of the supernatural, the nature
of the soul, and that he has fallen
below even the most benighted
heather, who at least has some hope
of future happiness to compensate
him for his present state of imper-
feet content. Neither the heaven nor
the hell of the Christian churches ap-
peals to the modern man as it for
merly did to his predecessors" Aside
from the tautology of this statement,
we merely remark that it probably will
appeal much more forcibly later on.
Mr.. Eliot at some length and pains
sums up the condition of the Church
in that it has proven colossal fail.
ure when confronted with a world.
crisis such as the present. If the OBJ
ject of the Christian religion were to
prevent war, to stifie the natural law
which bids a man defend himself and
his possessions, then might it be said
much as it has not fulfilled it's mis-
sion. But the conception which Mr.
Eliot seems to have of Christianity
leaves much to be desired. His futile
attempt, ludicrous even i'm q President
Emeritus, some time ago to refashion
the whole fabric of the Church, and to
inject his vague theories of material
ism and social service into the very
foundation stones Of the Christian
structure, is proof that with his learn.
ing and culture Mr. Eliot has failed
to grasp even the rudiments Of the
idea of true religion. He poses as q
reformer of the decadent Church, and
he would substitute for the pure doc
trines of the Divine Founder of Chris
tianity the pulings and platitudes of
an impaired vision. If Christianity
has deviated from its course, why not
lead it back, instead of accepting the
dogmas of man-made religion. The
President Emeritus has fallen into the
usual inconsistency of such pseudo
reformers, who ask us to forego our
own dogmas, only to accept the sub
stitute which they offer.
