WUDANS
SPEECH ON Yuan
MUCH TOO hot

Col.-gen. Wudan's address in 10
cal theater last June was too hot for
M. C. Amana, according to the state
ment made today by the witness for
the prosecution in the Wudan anarchy
case, the hearing of which is now be-
ing held at the immigration Station.
Il did not stay to the end of the
speech" said Amana.
Amana testified on July / OF this
year before the immigration officials
that he did not hear Wudan make an
address in which he came out openly
to kill the officials of the Yuan Shih-
Kai government, but said that Wudan
used the word overthrow" Amana
said at that time that the word "over.
throw" meant to have a fight, and
someone must get killed.
At the hearing today Amana stated
that Wudan used the word "kill'' in
his address regarding Yuan Shih.Kai
last June. When questioned by r. w.
Breckons, counsel for the defense, he
said that he had thought the matter
over and decided that wudan had used
the word kill" in reference to the
Chinese president.
The defense completed the testi
mony f-their witnesses today, with
the exception of the testimony of WI.
dan. Young Yiu Kwang, Hee jackson
and Lum Yat Keong were the wit
nesses for the defense this morning
and each stated that he had heard
the address from beginning to end and
had not heard Wudan use the word
kill" with reference to Yuan Shih-
Kai The case was continued until
Monday morning at $50. f." "

and disfigures the soul in Gods most
holy sight. And, as has already been
said, it paves the way of mortal sin,
and thus may be the occasion Of
damnation itself. We are told in the
Life of st. Teresa how God showed
her the place in hell that would have
been hers had she persisted in certain
venial sins of vanity. To say, there
fore, Il will confine my endeavors to
avoid mortal SIM is to run the risk
for most grievous self-deception. II
the outworks are not watched and de-
storm the citadel; and if man is
careless about venial sins, he will
some day be in grave danger Of fall
ing, before the onslaught of tempta-
ton, to worse things.
Our venial sins, then, should be the
subject of serious concern to us, and
of thoughtful legislation in the con-
duct of our Christian life. We should
always make some definite venial sin
the subject of determination, of
special sorrow and firm resolution at
confession. Those who as general
rule have fortunately nothing but
venial sins to confess should make
sure of real sorrow and purpose of
amendment when they receive the
Sacrament of Penance. Above all, let
the thought of Gods goodness, of the
truth that Christ our Lord suffered for
our yenial sins; the thought that by
venial sin we grieve our best Friend,
Who is bound to us in the bonds of
charity; that we grieve, too, the Holy
Ghost Who dwelleth in us,-let the
thought that venial sin is an incon-
ceivable meanness and shabbiness
toward Him Who, all the time, is pour
ing out upon us the riches of His
mercy, grace, and love,-let these
thoughts move US to hearty repent
ance and serious amendment of that
which so much displeases the loving
Lord, Who yearns over our foolish
souls with more far, far more-than
a mothers tender affection.

ST. JOHN OF EGYPT.

/ :
Till he was twenty-five John worked
as a carpenter with his father. Then
feeling call from God he left the
world, and committed himself~to a holy
solitary in the desert. His master
tried his spirit by many unreasonable
commands, bidding him roll the hard
rocks, tend dead trees, and the like
John obeyed in all things with the
simplicity Of child After a careful
training of sixteen years he withdrew
to the top of a steep cliff to think
only of God and his soul. There he
dWelt fifty years till his death, never
quitting his cell, eating little fruit
once day, and never seeing woman.
st. Augustine tells us of his appearing
in a vision to a4.holy woman whose
sight he had restored, to avoid seeing
her face to face Devils assailed him
continually, but John never ceased his
prayer. From his long communings
with God he turned to men with gifts
of healing ndeprophecy. Twice each
weeA Il. e. spoke through a window with
those who come to him, blessing oil
for their Sick, and predicting things
to come A deacon came to him in
disguise, and he reverently kissed his
hand. ToDthe Emperor Theodosius he
foretold his future victories and the
time of his death. The three last
days Of his life John gave wholly to
God: on the third he was found on
his knees as if in prayer, but his soul
was with the blessed. He died A. D.
394. .
st. John left first his natural and
then his, spiritual brethren, and gave
himself up to prayer, to learn the state
of his conscience, that he might puri-
fly himself, as God is pure. The more
he knew of himself, the more he dis
trusted himself For the last fifty
years therefore he never saw women,
and seldom men. The result of this
vigilance and purity was three-fold: a
holy joy and cheerfulness which con-
soled all who conversed with him;
perfect obedience to superiors; and in
return for this, authority over crea-
lures, whom he had forsaken for the
Creator.

HOW A TRUE CATHOLIC DIES.

Nothing extraordinary, perhaps, may
mark the end, except what astonishes
those who see nothing beyond the
present life-I mean the serenity of a
soul who abandons the world without
an effort, says Monsignor D'Hulst.
The Sacraments ardently desired, hall
ed with faith, received with love; the
calm with which the preparation for
death and the last tender adieux are
made; the firm and tranquil. hope of
"a future reunion; one last look, min
gled with confidence, at that past
which God has purified; then the mind
turns away from visible things to fix
itself on the bright dawn of eternal
realities; the hands claspfng the cru
cifix, the lips murmuring a last prayer,
and the entire man, especially recol-
lected, waiting for his last sigh. Such
is the sight which ever makes a Chris
tian death the astonishment, of the inn
pious, the consolation of the just and
one of the most eloquent witnesses
which God gives us of Himself here
below.

VENIAL SIN, A REAL INIoUITY.

1t is q truly pernicious disposition
of mind that leads some people to say,
II will be satisfied if 1 can keep from
mortal sin; | really can not bother
about trying to avoid venial SIM" The
writer has actually heard this said,
though it is to be hoped that not many
Catholics would explicitly give utter
ance to such a sentiment. At the
same time it is unquestionable that
not a few, though they would hesitate
to formulate, either mentally or verb
ally, definite determination not to
trouble. about venial sin, yet in prac-
teal conduct, either from sloth or
carelessness or Encouragement, act as
if they had made that very un-Chris-
tian and un-Catholic resolve.
There is a real danger of under
rating the seriousness of venial sin
There is, indeed, all the difference in
the world between mortal and venial
sins in themselves and in their dis.
tinctive natures. But in actual fact
in the concrete, in the individual lives
of Christians, there is frequently a
close connection between the two
In other words, it is an undoubted
fact that venial sin often leads to
mortal sin. Many mortal sins would
never be committed were they not led
up to, and the way for temptation
prepared, by the commission of venial
tsin. How often does not habitual
sloth and love of ease, yenial perhaps
in itself, lead TO mortal sins of sen
sualIty! Can not the same be said
OF venial offences against the virtue
of temperance in eating, drinking. and
the use of various creature comforts
Because venlal sin is not 50 terri
