His Eminence, Cardinal Glib
bons, recently appointed the first
Sunday of each month as Cath
Ole Press Sunday, for his arch
diocese. Referring to the Cath
Ollie Review His Eminence uses
words which are most applicable
to our Catholic papers in general.
He said: Experience has proved
that, if copies of the Review be
placed on sale at the door of the
church on Sundays, and an en-
couraging word be spoken from
the pulpit, the circulation of the
paper increases at once very con-
siderably.
Kindly further the cause of a
paper whose only reason of exist
ence is to procure the good of
our holy religion.

We have heard during the past
year a great deal of talk about
the coming four hnndredth ami
versary of the establishment OF
Professionalism There was to have
been a worldwide celebration
concentrating the Reformation.
But it suddenly occurred to some
that Martin Luther was a Hun. =
Whereupon the unity of Prot
estantism manifested itself; Eng
lish and American Protestants
began to feel Discrimination to
honor one who would be a subject
Of the Kaiser at the present day.
Hence, it is really a most awk-
ward and embarrassing situation,
you know.

But a few years ago France, or
rather the French government,
deemed the priests and nuns un-
worthy a place in the sun; these
good people were driven beyond
the confines of Masonic jurisdic-
ton, they became exiles without
reason. Now, the same French
government has discovered that
these holy persons had in them
the stuff that makes heroes and
heroines. It has bestowed its
highest decoration for bravery,
the coveted "Legion of Honor, !"
upon sixty-seven priests and one
hundred and twenty-seven nuns,
who distinguished themselves for
valor on the firing line. Will
these heroic personages so back
into exile after the war?

In the near future the New
York Sum- one of the most in
fluential dailies in the country,
will issue special Catholic edu-
cational edition. This surely
ought to appeal to many parents
who still persist in sending their
children to public schools. Ii a
paper like the ''Sun" holds our
schools in such high esteem, will
Catholic parents still refuse to
recognize the worth Of these
schools?

PORTO RICO.

One of the fields selected by the
Methodists for exploiting their re-
ligion was Porto Rico. After the
|Spanish7American War these
good people, fired with an all con-
|suming zeal, determined to lead
the poor Porto Ricans out of the
darkness in which they had wan
dered under their Roman guides.
Money was spent lavishly, houses
of worship were multiplied, every
inducement was held out to the
poor benighted Porto Ricans to
receive the light. This, perhaps,
was praiseworthy evangelism, in
a way. Their efforts, however, it
seems, went awry. Not so their
zeal. Their fervor rose in in
verse ratio to the poor results.
Glowing letters have recently
appeared from the pen of Rev.
W. P. Thirkield, the Methodist
bishop, who resides in New Or
leans. He describes in detail the
wonderful fruit gathered for the
church in Utuado. According to
this gentleman, a Methodist con-
ference was in session in this
town. It was Ash Wednesday.
"Our church." he says, twas
crowded. At the "great church
ON the nlaza''- Roman CathO-
lic-he found zone lone worship

priest, a clear-eyed, fne-faced
brother, out in front evidently lis
tenipg to the strains of Gospel
music from the Methodist con-
venticle across the way
Our esteemed Catholic contem-
porary of New Orleans, the Morn
ing Star, thought it worth while
to investigate this state Of affairs,
the more so that the present Arch
bishop Blenk, of New Orleans,
spent seven years as Bishop Of
Porto Rico, and the present Cath
Ollie incumbent, Bishop Jones, is
well known. The result of the in
vestigation is told at great length
in a recent issue Of this paper
Among other things we find that
whereas Utuado, before the adj
vent Of the Methodists, had but
one priest, four priests are now
kept busy, chapels for the outly-
ing districts have been built, the
| old church repaired, and a spa
cious rectory has been erected.
There have been during the past
four years in this parish $40 mar
riages and SPAS baptisms, surely
notSa bad showing after all the
reputed gains of the Methodists.
Along side of this, the lone lone
worshipper''' story certainly
smacks of ignorance or worse.
One result of the Methodist
Invasion" has been to make the
Catholics stronger in their Faith.
As Mr.. Henry Huyke, spiritist
and a member OF the lnsular
House of Delegates, recently said
in a public debate. Competition
is the source of energy. Look,
for example, in Catholicism. The
new life of Catholicity in Porto
Rico is evident, on coming in con-
tact with the Protestant sects,
which aimed at closing its. adj
vance. F."
Thus it is the same old story OF
Methodist triumphs, in Porto
Rico, in South America, in Italy,
and elsewhere. The pyrotechnic
display is wonderful; the net re-
suit is a collection Of old sticks
that have fallen from the sky
after the fireworks have subsidized.

LOSSES THROUGH DRINKING.

Loss of money follows drinking;
Loss Of time brings bitter thinking;
Loss Of business follows these;
Loss of strength and loss of ease:
Loss of health, respect and love;
Loss of hope of heaven above;
Loss of friends who once admired;
Loss Of mind by frenzy fired;
Loss of usefulness, alas:
Loss of life's goal for the glass!
Loss of life and loss of soul,
Grown his loss who loves the bowl.

death: the best of serpents should
have its head crushed" But, on the
whole, the Law owes its vitality to
the pen. The Jewish encyclopedias
overflow with the names of men,. who
in the course of ages have put their
lives and their labors into the elucida-
ton of their great book of Law. And
what book they have produced! The
Talmud is a storehoHse of legend, of
superstition, of poetry, of jurispru-
dence, of casuistry, of obscenity, of
etiquette, of everything save common
sense. 1t is labyrinth without
Ariadne's thread, great commentary
on Scripture with a meager mention
of Scripture, an Egyptian rubbish
heap not without an occasional gem.
But however much it may have grown
in the course of ages, it bears in every
line the stamp of its origin. To
know the origin of the Talmud we
must know the origin of the Pharisees
who made it.
81 Ancient Pharisees.
Ascending with the Hasmonean
dynasty from Marianne, the murdered
wife of Herod, we meet the following
names of the sovereigns of Judaea:
Hyrcanus II, her grandfather; Alex
andra, his mother; Alexander jan
naeus, the husband of the last; John
Hyrcanus Cor Hyrcanus -, the father
of the last: and finally his father.
Simon. Simon was the last of the
Maccabean family, which descended
from Hasmoneus; hence its other
name. 1t was not Hasmoneus, how
ever. that brought the family into
prominence, but his great grandson.
Mathathias. the priest of Modin. This
intrepid Israelite, filled with righteous
anger, slew perVert, who was about
publicly to sacrifice to idols. He slew
also the kings messenger. who was in

The People Pharisaic.

Although all the people, outside the
powerful minority of the Sadducees.
did not call themselves Pharisees, yet,
all their instruction i'm the towns was
towards Pharisaism. 1t was the Phari-
sees, who were Jealous for the estab-
lishment of synagogues and the ele-
mentary schools connected with them.
They were thus @the instructors Of

religious. The Ab-beth-dln, or second
in the priesthood, with the college over
which he presided, attended exclu-
siyely to religious duties. There is
some question, however, as to the ex-
istence of this Office and court. In the
ensuing reign of Alexander Jannaeus,
Simeon, the brother of the queen, had
influence enough to fill the Sanhedrin
again with Pharisees. But again there
was falling out and for six years
the Pharisees, in the civil war that
ensued, held their ground against the
king, great conqueror though ne was
of many towns. At the death OF Alex
ander, Queen Alexandra assembled the
throne. Simeon then became all
powerful and once more filled the San
hedren with Pharisees, whom persecu-
ton had brought to the whitehead OF
fanaticism. He is therefore called
'.the restorer of the Law who brought
back to the crown of learning its
former brightness. From Queen
Alexandra down to our Lords time,
although the high-priesthood was
eventually lost to the Hasmoneans,
but retained by the Sadducees, the
Sanhedrin, or at least the court
Beth-din, remained preponderantly
Pharisaic, and consequently many Of
the members were Scribes.

friends to learn Wednesday last

gone to the Cities early in December
to visit with friends and while there
she suffered a stroke of paralysis Dec
cember 10, 1914. AS she had been in
frail health for number of years she
had no reserve force to combat the
paralysis and her death followed a
gradual decline of strength, accompanied
by considerable suffering altho every
thing possible was done to alleviate
the discomforts of her illness.

yet ready for the larger institution.

all these public affairs. She was known
as splendid housewife, real helpmeet
to her husband and the best of
neighbors and friends, often taxing her
strength to the utmost in order to give
aid and assistance where needed. She
was member of St. Peters Church
of this city and gave much time and
thought to it's advancement.
