JOHN LIND DIsCREDITED.

We have waited several weeks
to give the Hon. John Lind of
Minneapolis, an opportunity to
furnish the proofs which we de-
manded to substantiate the state
ment made by him in ''The Bell
man" of that city, that popular
education, except IN respect to re-
ligion and politeness, was forbid
den Tin Mexico) by Papal Bull
for two hundred years. As soon
as this article appeared, we chal-
lenged Mr.. Lind to state when
and by what Pope the 'Papal
Bull to which he refers was Is
sued? And where can an .authen-
tic copy Of this document be
found?" And in order to bring
the matter to definite issue we
denied the truth of Mr.. Lind s
assertion.
To the questions put to him by
The Catholic Bulletin Mr.. Lind
has given no answer. The only
conclusion which can be drawn
from his silence is that he is um-
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-01-09

able to substantiate his statement.
We called for proofs and no
proofs are Forthcoming. Mr..
Lind's failure to make even an
attempt to justify his charge not
only against the Church in Mexico
but against the Papacy itself,
places him In the same class as
the anti-Catholic lecturers and ir-
responsible bigots who are seeking
to foment religious strife in this
country by the vilifcation Of the
Catholic Church and who, when
challenged, are unable to produce
scintilla Of proof in support of
their accusations.
John Lind's silence and his
failure to make public reparation
for having borne false witness
against the Catholic Church, place
him in a new light before the pub
lie who have heretofore believed
that he had no use for the tactics
Of A. p. A.ism and that he had
some claim, at least, to the title of
Honorable" which courtesy now
prefixes to his name. Their idol
has feet Of clay; and in the minds
Of all intelligent men who believe
in honesty and fair play, John Lind
stands discredited. What sorry
figure this Ex-Governor Of Mime
sofa, ex-Regent of the State Uni
versity, and former personal rep
resentative Of President Wilson
cuts in the eyes Of all right think
ing people. Well would it have
been for him had he preserved for
ever the diplomatic dumbness of
which he was said to have been
such shining exemplar; and bet
ter still for his reputation, liter
airy and otherwise, had he not
rushed into print without devot-
ing more time to a study Of "The
Mexican people. F" This would
have rendered it unnecessary for
him to pilfer, without word of
acknowledgment or a single quo
tation mark, large part Of the
historical portion of his article in
"The Bellman" from DR.. Tylor s
article on Mexico in the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica.

QUE BEG CATHEDRAL
FIRST MASS CELEBRATED IN IT
IN 1904 MAJESTIC RAsILlCA.

The first Mass in Quebec Cathedral,
one of the most famous Catholic edi-
fees in North America, ives celebrated
264 years ago on Christmas Eve, 1860.
Since then the church has been prac-
tically rebuilt, although the foundation
and part of the walls are still in
existence. Since the Christmas Eve
of 1850 the doors of the Cathedral
have never been closed, with the eX-
ception of brief period in 1859, when
the building was partly wrecked by
bombs and flames. The work of rear
ing the celebrated religious edifce was
commenced in 1915, the wealthy peo-
pie of Quebec having contributed for
that purpose $50 beaver skins, which
were sold to start, the, building fund.
The cornerstone was laid by Cover
nor Montmagny and Father Lalement,
the Superior Of the Jesuits and a
brother OF the famous missionary who
was killed by the Indians.
A part of the building was COM
pleted in time for the Christmas Eve
Mass of 1850, but it was not until
nearly seven years later that the edi-
fee was formally opened
The Cathedral is one of the finest,
INTELLECTUALLY in North America. and
can accommodate 1900 people.

RELIGION IN EDUCATION.

In last week s issue we called
attention to the prize essay con-
test inaugurated by the National
Education Association of the
United States which offers prize
of $1,000 for the best essay on
1.-The Essential Place Of Religion
IN Education, with an Outline of
a Plan for Introducing Religious
Teaching into the Public Schools. "
This essay must be III the hands of
the Secretary Of the Association,
Durand w. Springer, Ann Arbor,
Mich, not later than June l, 1915,
and the award will be made at the
meeting of the International Con-
gress Of Education held in connec-
ton with the Panama-Pacifc Ex-
position at Oakland, Cal, next
August. Full particulars regard
ing the contest can be had from
the Secretary.
This affords Catholic students a
splendid opportunity to vindicate
the position taken by the Church
on this question; and it will be a
source of disappointment if a
large number Of Catholics are not
found among the competitors for
this prize. Apart from the none
tary consideration, the subject is
one in which all Catholic educa-
tors should be interested.

ously to them. Scarcely the poorest
would make a will without recording
bequest to the ChurchWardens of
some small chattel or sum of money.
And in all the life of the fif-
teenth century the Church took a lead
ing part. :. There was a vivid
belief in the unseen, often expressed
crudely and coarsely enough in ways
which made for superstition, but still
belief which had the effect of MAX
ing men think of death and judgment
and the life beyond the grave, and
of the bond between the living and
the departed. In the fiji
teenth century religion dominated hu-
man life. ;. We of a later age,
in whose daily life religion exercises
SO limited function, in a land where
the outward expression of corporate
religion is strongly discountenanced,
cannot afford to condemn, or even to
criticise too closely, those to whom re
ligion was an air continually breathed
to whom God, worship, prayer, peni-
tence, brotherhood, were terms that
stood for realities"
In the light Of the above conclusion
arrived at by living Anglican writer
who has made special study of the
Medieval Church, and whose re-
searches so candidly written have won
for him the widest respect in the
Anglican Communion, the Archbishop
of Canterbury's allusion to abuses calls
for no further comment The Arch
bishop, however, proceeded: Surely
now there is place for the recogni-
ton of the instructive, natural, loyal
craving of the bereaved, the
reverent and trustful prayer of a
wounded spirit who feels it natural
and helpful to pray for those it will
not see again on earth, but who in
their Fathers keeping still live, and,
we might believe, go from strength
to strength in true purity, In deepened
reverence and love-" Approval of the
Archbishops sermon has been ex-
pressed by practically every Anglican
weekly of note. Such Vindication of
this beautiful part of the Church's doc
trine should afford to Catholics not
only pleasure, but should move them
to deeper loyalty and devotion to
the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic
Church which has kept the Faith.

BATTLE Of ARMAGEDON
SYMBOLIC OF THE WARS WHICH
DESTROYED ROMAN PAGAN
ISM.

Armagedon is the name of battle
mentioned in "The Revelation of Jesus
Christ Commonly called THE Apoca-
lypse of st. John'O, as the symbol of
the overthrow of the old Roman En-
pire by force Of arms. 1t comes into
the Roman theme of Revelation in
this way. For they are the spirits
Of demons working signs, and they go
forth unto the kings of the whole
earth to gather them to battle against
the great day of Almighty God"
"And he shall gather them together
into place which is called in Hebrew
Armagedon" REV. xvi 16). The bat
tie itself is not described, but its re-
suits are stated as follows: "And the
beast was taken and with him the
false prophet who brought signs be-
fore him, whereWith he deceived them
who received the mark of the beast
and who adored his image. These two
were cast alive into the pool of fire
burning with birthstone" (Rey. xix.
20). Exegetes allow that the beast
here is Caesar, and the false prophet
Paganism. The connection between
the first paragraph and the second can
be shown from the Greek text.
1t appears that the battle of Armage-
don was an affair of centuries. 1t rep
resents all the wars and all the battles
which destroyed the pagan Roman En-
pre- 1t came to an end about the
middle Of the sixth century. st. John
took the name of Armagedon as bat
tie symbol as it had battle history
well known to the Hebrews. There,

THE TREASURE IN EARTH
EN- VESSELS.

On the occasion Of the twenty
seventh anniversary Of the organi-
zation of The Peoples Church, st.
Paul, the Rev. DIR. S. G. Smith
said among other things: "While
the Old World was breaking up, a
formal corporate church was the
only kind of ark which could keep
afoat. But to worship through
such a church is this alive, vibrant
new era is like living among dead
bones. The only foundation for
Christian unity is not the form of
thought or organization Of the
church, but the treasure within
the earthen vessel. =

WHERE PROHIBITION Is VEL
COME.

Since the outbreak of hostilitieS in
Europe, the Gar has forbidden the
sale of vodka in Russia. This is
gratifying news, for the curse of vodka
was only one degree removed from
that of opium Vodka might aptly be
called the national intoxicant of Rus
STA and it has worked havoc among the
subjects of the Car for many years.
The liquor is made of grain and pota-
toes; it is a cheap preparation, deadly
in it's results, but eagerly sought after,
especially by the poorer classes who
endeavoTed to drown their misery in
it's Supplying draughts.
The sale of spirits in Russia has
been conducted as a monopoly by the
government, which has regulated the
manufacture and sale of liquor, for
it's own profit. Nearly one-third Of
the revenue Of the country has been
raised from this source. At the be-
ginning Of the war the Gar issued an
order prohibiting the sale of vodka.
1t was generally thought that this was
but a temporary proceeding, calcu-
lated to keep the people III better con-
dition during the war.
But a trial of the plan has proven
of such great benefit to the citizens,
and. their condition, physically and in
dustrially, has even SO UNNECESSARILY
improved by the prohibition, that it
has been decided to make the order
permanent, and bar the manufacture
and sale of vodka by the government
altogether
The financial loss to the Russian
exchequer will be heavy, but the vic
Tins of drink will be SO improved in
health and general conditions, that the
loss will be more than recompensed
by the greater thrift and industry of
the people. -cotboUc Advance.

THE PRESS AND LIQUOR
ADVERTISEMENTS.

At the beginning Of the year the
Boyce WeekIies of Chicago, an
nounced that thereafter they
would not print any advertise
ments of whiskey, wine, beer, or
other alcoholic beverages. BY so
doing they cut off a source of rev.
enue which had paid them on the
average $4,000 a year. The
last contract expired December 81
and they refused to renew it.
This action was taken as the re-
suit of an investigation conducted
by them during the past year.
"The Saturday Blade" one of the
Boycc publications, printed a
blank and sent it to subscribers
and others, asking for information
as to the effects of alcohol on the
people of this country. and the
tabulation Of the answers, based
on the Judgment Of the highest
authorities on life and health,
gave the conclusion that "alco-
hOlic poisons shorten the average
life Of the American people three
years. By a simple computation,
based on a population of 100000
600 people under the American
flag, they arrived at the conclu-
sion that the average loss of pos
sible life in one year is over nine
million lives of the average dura-
ton of thirty-three years. The in
vestigation convinced the publish.
