DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
SERVING MARY BY TEMPERANCE.

Love is the only coin of Christ's
Kingdom and all else is counterfeit.
BY it alone is all the law fulfilled and
by 1t atone are the favors of His King
dom obtained Many Christian won
ders that his prayers are not more
profitable, who has not yet learned to
pray Alright. Building shrines and
making votive offerings may help to
make Mary loved of men but not al
ways. Such things may be senseless
monuments to vanity, rather than mag
nets for human hearts. The hayward
son who mistakes a natural tenderness
for his mother for a genuine love for
her may give her houses, and auto
mobiles, and everything that he is will
ing to give away. But that mother
wants his heart and the love which
only a clean heart can give. She NAV
accept the tokens of his tender
thought of her, but she hungers for
that gift which alone can fill up
her hearts desire. So it were better
that, instead of shrines to Mary and
costly gifts, we give her our love and
win for her the love of others.
He who protects the Blessed Moth
er from a single blasphemy uttered
against her Divine Son. or wards
off some threatening sin; Or renders
| any service that love dictates, will do
more than he can hope to do who en-
riches her shrines with costly gifts.
Better far to get drunkard to become
cnhpr tn
ards fate, than to offer many novenas
made for selfish ends. Not that
shrines are of small value as nOvenas
OF little effect, for by them are largely
fulfilled that great prophecy of Mary,
Behold from henceforth all nations
shall called me blessed" But they
| must be inspired by love and must
not fail in an intelligent appreciation
| of that ultimate purpose of all relig-
ious symbols-the salvation of souls.
Every pledge of total abstinence will
gladden. our mother by the greater as
surance of safety for one more of her
children. The establishment of a tenn
perance society will bless those who
ward off from her the cruel sting with
which drunkenness in her children
| wounds her. Build up the Kingdom
Of her Divine Son and her maternal
blessing will be upon the builders.
Temperance is one of the four cor
nerstones of that Kingdom. Make
men sober and you will make glad
the heart of Mary. Let us then
sing the praises of Mary with love and
joy! Let us breathe in devotion to
her with every breath of spring! Her
month is the month of the earth's
awakening! Let us be glad in these
| days! Let us gladden. our Blessed
Mother by gifts Of love and thoughtful
! service!

FRENCH MISSIONARY SPIRIT
FRANCE DID NOBLE THINGS FOR
THE FAITH.

In a discourse delivered, July 16, at
Bardstown, KY, Archbishop Glennon
paid the following tribute to France:
The French nation, at least the one
of bygone days, was not at all pre-
sumptuous in claiming for itself the
proud place of the eldest daughter of
the Church. for brave were the deeds,
deep the piety and sacred the con-
secration of many of her people. No
where in all the world of Christen-
dom were the shrines of faith more
frequent or glorious. Every fame was
in size and beauty a cathedral-every
chapel was a royal one Faith was
triumphant and found an honored
placement all the way from the howell
to the throne. From every pulpit the
defense grandiloquent was presented
Of the faith that had already conquer
ed the peoples hearts. 1t is true that
sometimes even in those Catholic CEN
tiers there arose opposition; and the
bitterness Of the opposition was
equalled only by the intensity of the
faith it attacked. But in spite of these
France wrought nobly and we'll for
faith and fatherland; and not in vain
they set as the superscription to these
things "Gesta Del per Frances" which
meant that the deeds of France were
inspired of God, and divinely blessed.
But there is one point on which,
whatever prejudices, racial or relig-
ious, there may be, that we can agree
on, namely, that France is first among
the nations in giving up her best and
most devoted to go forth and preach
the gospel to all the nations" 1t is
true that Rome in the early centuries
sent out her missionaries in the wake
of her legions' standards It is true
that for 900 years from Irish schools
went out missionaries learned and
devoted to bear the torch of faith to
nearly all of Western Europe But
in those later centuries no nation may
claim either in numbers, zeal or sue
cess what France may claim for those
who bore her name and faith to dis
tant lands. AS her rivers flowing
to all lands, so also from her cities
and homes went forth in ever-increas-
ing volume her consecrated sons and
daughters bearing to all the world the
rich freightage of their faith and zeal;
anxious, too, in going forth, to give
not alone the gifts of their hands, but
also their lives in the service of the
Master

PASSED THE SENATE BUT Is
OPPOSED IN THE HOUSE.

The bill providing for the erection
of the memorial to the nuns of the
battlefield in Arlington, Virginia, Ma
tional Cemetery, which passed the
Senate on August 5, is now pending
in the House of Representatives and,
Notwithstanding the willingness of
Speaker Clark that the resolution be
brought out on the floor Of the House,
Mr. Slayden OF Texas, chairman of the
library committee, to which the bill
was referred to after it's introduction,
who has opposed the bill from the be-
ginning, demanded it be referred back
to his committee. This, of course, is
his privilege, but it means that he
will do his best to shelve it, which,
he tried to do once before, and pre-
vent its passage.
In speaking of the measure, Mr.
Slayden: q am opposed to all
such measures. National cemeteries
were created for the burial of Amer
| am opposed to maintaining ceme-
teries at the expense of the people,
in which nurses or other women
members of soldiers and sailors fam
lilies and other persons be inferred.
l am opposed to the erection of mem
orials and monuments to such people
if they are buried in national GENE
teries. Finally, / am opposed to au-
thorizing the erection of memorials
in national cemeteries behind which
there are controversial questions.
The Kennedy resolution provides for a
memorial to Catholic Sisters. If it is
permitted, non-Catholics and others
must be given equal recognition if re-
quested. However, I do not know
what the library committee will do"

CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD
SHEPHERDS.

Preliminary arrangements are
now under way for the campaign
to be conducted next October for
the House of the Good Shepherd
in st. Paul. The actual manage
ment Of the campaign will be in
charge of Mr.. Sheffield Of Cleve-
land, Ohio, who will arrive in this
city early in September. After
that time it will take about a
month to make ready for the form
al Inauguration Of the work Of
soliciting funds which will be
done by teams of men and of
women.
The House of Good Shepherd
can point to more than forty-eight
years of continuous service in the
City Of St. Paul and those who
have followed it's career know how
worthy it is of every effort that
can be made to extend the sphere
of it's influence and make it more
efficient in its God-given work:
During most of this periodait has
labored under financial difficulties.
Only in recent years has it sue
ceeded in paying off the indebted
ness incurred in the erection and
equipment Of the plant Enlarged
quarters, both for the Sisters and
their charges, as well as for the
work they carry on, are absolutely
necessary. The income barely
suffices to meet the current out
lay and expense of up-keep. 1t
IS altogether too meager to afford
any hope of providing additional
buildings.
The friends of the institution
who know the worth of the Sis
tiers work for the moral better-
ment of the community believe
that the time has come to make a
final effort to put. the institution
upon "a q proper basis. They be-

AT THE BEHEsT OF BIGoTRY.

Congressman Charles A. Lind
bergh, of Little Falls, Mimi, has
strobe into the limelight Of ques-
tionable notoriety and has made
his bow to the public as leader
of the hosts Of m-American "pa-
triots" who would save the Unit
ed States from the Vaccinations
of Rome. He would lead these
professional patriots out of an
Egypt where their peace Of mind
is threatened by the bugaboo of
Papal aggression into, a land of
promise where the all-suffcing
badge of American citizenship is
opposition to the Catholic Church,
and where Catholic citizens have
no rights, political or otherwise,
which any one is bound to re-
spect.
Congressman Lindbergh is not
acting on his own initiative, but
under the spur and backing of the
Free Press Defence League of
Kansas, society which is said to
have branches in all parts Of the
country. We have heard of the
organization. It's henchmen have
been in Minnesota on more than
one occasion doing the work of

RECKONING WITH RUM.

A thick-set, ugly looking fellow was
seated on bench in the public park,
says an exchange, and seemed to be
reading some writing on a sheet of
paper which he held in his hand. you
seem to be much interested in YOUR
writing said.
Yes. I've been figuring my ac-
counts with old Alcohol to see how we
stand"
And he comes out ahead, sup.
poser"
Every time"
How did you come to have dealings
with him in the first placer"
That's what I've been writing.
You see, he promised to make a man
OF me, but he made me a beast. Then
he said he would brace me up, but he
made me go staggering around and
then threw me into the ditch. He said
| must drink to be social. Then he
made me quarrel with my best friends
and be the laughing stock of nv
enemies. He gave me a black eve
and broken nose. Then | drank for
the good of my health. He ruined the
little had, and left me sick as a dog"
"Of course
He said he would warm me up. and
| was soon nearly frozen to death. He
said he would steady my nerves. but
instead he gave me delirium tremens.
He said he would give me great
strength, and he made me helpless"
ITO be sure
He promised me courage"
Then what followed?"
Then he made me a coward. for
beat my sick wife and kicked my little
sick child. He said he would brighten
my wits, but instead he made me act
like fool and talk like an idiot. He
promised to make a gentleman of me.
but he made me a tramp"

little reflection will reveal to him
that the words he uses has no mean
ing apart from what he has learned
from the testimony Of men.
Something, then, is wrong with DR..
Burnay's idea of science or, otherwise,
human nature is essentially unscien.
tific. Can it be after all that faith and
science, that belief and knowledge are
ineXtricably interviewer with each
other?
Perhaps the doctor may now be
ready to make distinction between
human faith and divine faith. He will
probably admit that human testimony
with certain scientific restrictions
can give us certain knowledge; but
divine faith is utterly unscientifie. Is
it though? Let us see. But perhaps
we had best take little time first to
ruminate on the scientific character
Of human faith.

ALCOHOL A JOY-KILLER.

Professor Emil Kraepelin is direc-
tor of the Clinic of Psychiatry in the
University of Munich He has made
more painstaking tests of alcohol and
its effects probably, than any other
man; and he began them as a be-
lever in beer. Now hear him:
From the recommendation of
wine-dealer, learn that wine enlivens
the imagination, facilitates thought
connection, quickens the memory, is
favorable to the clear and rapid per-
ception of impressions and to the for
nation of judgments.
Every word lie!
Careful investigation. continued
for decades and conducted with the
finest apparatus to determine the ply
steal effects of alcohol, has shown be-
yond doubt that exactly the opposite
of all these assertions is actually the
case.
"By the elimination of alcohol, we
will gain so much that we will be far
more than compensated for the alco-
holic pleasures lost. In place of the
stupidity that shows itself amid beer
fumes and the morning after, will
come a richer, higher and purer en-
joyment, happy participation in all
the delights of untrammeled life in
full career, without rowdyism, with
out remorse. Athletic exercises, dra-
matte performances, various forms of
artistic work, social festivities of every
kind, will furnish abundant outlet for
gay and eXuberant spirits. What we
want is a happy, healthy people, strong
in mind and body"

The sale Of the Danish West

yet been contaminated. The
Landsthing, the Upper House OF
the Danish Parliament, met on
August 16, as a committee Of the
whole to consider the treaty pro
viding for the sale of the islands
to the United States, and forty
seven of the sixty-one members
present expressed themselves in
favor of the order Of the day stat
ing that the sale cannot be settled
before elections for both houses OF
Parliament have been held. The
situation has been further com
plicated by proposal from
Premier Zahle to the effect that

senting the various parties. II

NOTED TEMPERANCE
LEADER.

Very Rev. p. J. OCallaghan, c.
S. P, who, for many years, has
been President of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union Of Ameri-
ca, refused to accept re-elec-
ton this year owing to the many
demands made upon his time by
the duties of his new position as
Rector Of the Apostolic Mission
House, Washington, D. c.
During his term Of office, Father
O'Callaghan was unwearying in
his devotion to the cause Of total
abstinence and unsparing OF self
in his efforts to promote the wei
fare of the National Union. He
utilized every means in his power
to infuse new life into the Union,
and by his public lectures and ad-
dresses not only helped to remove
the prejudice which existed in
many quarters, but won new re-
cruits for the cause. He was in
strumental in establishing the ma
tional headquarters in Chicago,
and made the official paper, Cath
Ollie Temperance Advocate a
power for good in the land. While
the members of the Union regret
the necessity which removes him
from its official life, they neverthe-
less feel that the high standard Of
efficiency set by him will be main
tanned by his successor, the Rev.
John G. Beane of Pittsburgh, who,
for many years, has been the ear
nest and capable first Vice Presi-
dent of the Union. s.

Manners are not like clothes. It
is a bad thing to have two suits of
them-one for home, and the other for
abroad. Wear your best manners all
the time. They suffer more by being
put away than by constant use. If
you keep your best manners for COM
pany only, they will fit you badly, and
your visitors will suspect that they
were put on for them. Second best
clothes may be worn at home, but not
so second best manners.
