The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-01-16

A great teacher has said that the be-
ginnings Of sanctity consist in finding
out that we are wicked. and that God
is infinitely good; and further, that
by His grace alone we can be made
good Christians, and good Christians
may go on and become better ones.
This involves penitential mood,
which is one of the prime requisites of
right beginning. The inner condition
is experiencing this word of Holy
Writ: "Our God is a consuming fire.
(Heh. xii, 29). Here, then, is the purga-
tive way. Give God access to your
sins, for He is consuming fire" in
the Sacrament of Penance, in the
practices of Catholic modification, in
| the religious customs of wise and de
vout souls, in spiritual direction, in
His constant inspirations to virtue, in
the bitter memories of early wicked
ness.
We hear much-and not too much
about advancement in perfection. But
we do not often enough realize that to
| progress we'll we have only to keep
pace in our devotional life with our
steady movement toward eternity
Step by step l am going forward to
| the grave: and / am dull and motion
less in my attitude toward God. am
now one day-so | ought to say each
night the settling of my &C.
counts, and have not penny saved.
Day by day should begin and end my
strivings with advertence to this
truth, as formulated by st. Francis de
Sales: "The desire of God is that we
should be perfect, uniting ourselves to
Him, and initiating Him as nearly as
possible" (Devout Life, Part iii, Oh. W.
When one firmly sets his face to
realize that desire" of God, he finds
Him not only in pious practices, but
in everything. Men fish for pearls,
and they are called pearl-fishers. Yet
in reality they look for oysters of a
certain sort, and first are oyster
fishers. So we may find the gems of
divine grace in our rough occupations,
in the street or in the shop, among
crying babies and huckstering trades
men. God is everywhere, and every
where He desires us to look for Him,
ever making a beginning or new
search.

Without War. What?

While rejoicing at the terrible con-
flict which is devastating Europe is
probably far from the mind of any
decent American, certain students of
financial and industrial affairs in this
country are convinced that only the
war has saved this country from what
otherwise would have been the most
disastrous period Of hard times in it's
existence. These students point out
that by shutting down the factories
of practically all those European coun-
tries which normally compete with
American manufacturers, the war has
proved as effective as high tariff in
protecting American industries; by
calling out Of this country hundreds
of thousands of German, English and
French, and now Italian, workmen,
reservists in their several armies, the
war has greatly curtailed the labor
supply and thus, in effect, operated to
maintain wages and diminish the gen.
eral lack of employment; and that by
creating an inordinate demand, not
alone for munitions of war but for a
great variety Of materials and kindred
manufacturers, such as copper, cleo
trical supplies. automobiles, etc. the
war has actually doomed certain lines
of industry in this country which were
in great distress when the war broke
out. Financial experts are asking what
would have been the situation of the
United States without these aids and
with the depression, SO general in this
country last June, unchecked by out
side influences.

A Memorial Day Thought.

Wnllo several european natlOnS are
standing up millions of men for others
to shoot at and are filling soldiers
graves by the thousands every day, we
are bowling reverently once more, after
half a century. in grateful remem-
brance of our heroes sacrificed in war.
Today, we can understand the feel
ings of England. France, Germany.
Russia, Austria, Italy, Belgium, a half
century ahead. Then they will mourn
the folly Of these days. Then they
will shed bitter tears for the noble
lives wasted, as they will have been
shedding such tears in all the days
to that time.
We visit the graves Of the brave
sons who stood between us and the
fate of divided nation, and we honor
the Just as noble brothers who fought
side by side with them in the bloody
lines but were spared to return. For
the first we strew the flowers Of the
glad spring days. For the living we
offer our warmest hand clasps and
look into their dimming eyes our feel
ings Of respect and love and honor.
We need not say again to them the
things we have repeated SO often-they
know our feelings toward them; they
need no assurance of our gratitude, for
they are our fathers, our brothers and
husbands and friends.
Their steps are not as brisk as half
a century ago, but their hearts are
lust as true Their hands are not as
strong, nor eyes as keen, but they
would as quickly offer their lives for us
today as they did in the sixties.
We mourn our dead warriors; we
honor our living heroes; we are re-
solved never to engage in the folly
of war again-but for the honor Of
those dead, for the approval of those
living, for our homes and children to-
day and the record to leave for pos
terity. American rights must be re-
spected.

Whom Will You Follow?

At Boston. Wednesday. the Unfair
ians went on record for national pro-
hibition.
And on the same day, in the same
city, the Brewers Association of Mass
achusetts went on record for booze.
If you, as a disinterested party, were
to consider the matter judicially you
would naturally decide that the church
organization contained fully as much
intelligence and grasp of human affairs
and needs. as found in the brewers
organization. At least you would not
Jump to the conclusion that the church
people were all mistaken and booze
folk had all the right Of it.
Then you might consider the object.
You would not hastily find that the
church organization was working for a
monetary consideration and the beer
makers with a high human aim. On the
contrary, would you not decide that
the church was imbued the high pur-
pose, and the booze makers proceeding
from a wholly selfish standpoint?
II you should reach that conclusion
then In which organization would you
repose the greater degree OF conf
dence with regard to your own well
fare and that Of posterity?

The attitude of Great Britain to-
ward cotton, is weighing heavily on
tine cotton producers of the South, and
they are beginning to protest against
situation which gives England the
option of naming such prices for the
staple as may suit her pleasure. Al
though just now Germany would be
glad to pay 80 cents pound or more
for Southern cotton, there is no mar
ket available in England or elsewhere
at more than one-third of that price.
The Northern dealers in war muni-
tions and tie Western dealers in food
stuffs are having picnic: but from
the way the thing appears to US, it is
largely, if not entirely at the expense
OF the people of the South.-Yorkville
Enquirer.
And not only so, but England is un-
dertaking to say bow much cotton
shall be shipped to certain countries,
and the amount is based on the amount
of cotton heretofore used by these
countries. And Germany, of course,
is not to have any cotton at all if
England can prevent it, but if Germany
undertakes to prevent England from
getting of the munitions of war or
food stuffs, then England protests and
wants the United States to interfere.

COMMISSIONER WATSON INTER
ESTED.

The State newspaper yesterday pub
lished a map showing the proposed
Highway from Columbia to Spartan
burg by way of Union. From Union
into this city two routes are shown,
one by way of Jonesville and Pacolet
and the other by way of West Pacolet
and Glenn Springs, and both are said
to be in fair condition. This is the
route which traverses Fairfield county
and crosses Broad river at Smiths
Ferry, where it is proposed to build a
bridge.
An article appearing with the map
says: 1.-The state department Of agri-
culture is preparing to issue new
pamphlet containing maps Of the va
rious highways from Columbia to the
mountains of western North Carolina.
Several routes have been suggested.
The problem just now is to find the
nearest route from Columbia to Spar
tanburg to connect there with the new
Saluda turnpike. The Union chamber
OF commerce is making an effort to
open up a new route from Columbia
through Fairfield county. Another
route suggested is from Newberry, by
Whitmire, to Spartanburg. The Spar
tanburg chamber of commerce favors
the route by way of Laurens.' %
We do not know that the statement
that the Spartanburg chamber of COM
merce favors the route by way of Lau-
rens exactly conveys the right idea.
Just now the route by way Of Laurens
is the best route because of the ferry
on Broad river, which may cause the
traveller some inconvenience. AS a
matter of fact, we think this city would
welcome and encourage, in every way
possible, the improvement of the road
through Union.
That Commissioner Watson is in
terested in the route, and is prepar-
ing to give the roads through the
State to a connection with the high
way to the mountains valuable pub
