DAY OF IMMORTAL HOPE
THE RESURRECTION is A HIS
ToRIc FACT PROVED BY THE
TESTIMONY OF RELIABLE WIT
NESSES.

Many attempts have been made to
associate Easter with paganism and to
show that human beings on the return
of the leaf and blossoms to irrational
nature dreamed fondly but vainly, that
they, so much more worth while, might
live again even in the flesh. While it
is true that in northern chimes we have
borrowed the old pagan word for the
great day of Immortal Hope, yet who
shall question the identity of the spirit
and the celebration of those climes in
which it is ''Paschaltide," not Easter
tfde? Ponce de Leon discovered Flor

THE BUSY BIGoT.

The approaching municipal
elections have aroused the social
ed Guardians Of Liberty and other
bogus patriots" to renewed
efforts to prejudice voters against
Catholic aspirants for public of
fee, The fundamental dogma of
their political creed is: 'iNo

would debar Catholics from ex-
ercising the right guaranteed to
every American citizen by the
Constitution Of the Republic-the
right to seek political preferment
and public office without having
his religion made a disqualifica-
ton.
These "patriots" Of the A.lP. A.
stripe, il they possessed the in
telligence of their aboreal ances-
tors, would prove a real menace
to American institutions; but they
are so despised by the American
citizen of average intelligence and
common sense that their influence
on the life Of the nations is dis
coverable only by the aid of a
high-powered microscope. They
are ashamed to come out in the
open, and give expression to their
views. Like the mole, they work
in the dark, and dread nothing
more than the light of day. "For

Chinee is not more peculiar than
these parasites OIL the body polite
who arrogate to themselves the
duty Of defending this country
against the bugaboo Of papal
domination.
The length to which these
bigots are forced to go in their at
tempts to thwart the legitimate
aspirations Of real Americans is
shown by the secrecy with which
they have placarded different sec
tons of the city, and the pictures
OF certain candidates for public
office with stickers containing a
base insinuation against the Cath
Ollie Church and her practices.
These detestable and un- American
tactics call for public rebuke by
all right-thinking men, and we
hope the voters will express, in
no uncertain way, their disappro-
baton Of this and everything that
savors of dragging religion into
politics.

be informed as to. the Jewish holy
days, and their observance. The
purpose which this calendar is
intended to serve is stated as fol-
lows: "We respectfully ask
from them cooperation to the end
that Jews coming under their
jurisdiction shall be enabled to
conform with the spirit of the
holy-day in service or celebration,
and shall, without penalty, be
enabled to avoid these days for
examinations and special work.
We feel assured that this request
will not be denied us, and that
heads of institutions, knowing
which days are sacred, will, if
possible, avoid them as examina-
ton days" Is there in this a
suggestion for Catholic societies?

THE ST. PAUL HYMNAL.

A new edition Of t'The St.
Paul Hymnal, " much enlarged
and improved, has just been is
sued from the press by j. Fischer
& Bro, New York. 1t consists of
10000 copies which are now ready
for distributions In addition to
the matter contained in the orig
inal exemplar, this second edition
has an appendix Of thirty pages,
giving the text and melody of q
number of popular hymns, the
Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, the. TIE Deum, the: De Pro
funds, and the N1iserere.
This hymnal, which is the Of
fetal textbook for congregational
singing i'll the Diocese Of st. Paul,
has been well received by priests
and people, by the directors Of our
parochial schools, and by all who
are interested i'll restoring congre-
gatlonal singing to it's former
place of honor in the Church. It
provides the uniformity in words
and i'll melodies which is absolute
ly necessary for the introduction
Of sacred song in the schools and
churches. 1t is sufficiently COM
prehensive in scope and content to
satisfy all the ordinary needs of
congregational singing, and it is
published at such a low price
twenty-five cents a copy-that
there are few who cannot afford
to buy it for their own use.
Since its publication last fall,
1.-The st. Paul Hymnal" has been
the means Of promoting congrega-
tional singing in many parishes Of
the diocese, and its continued. use
cannot fail to furtheN enhance the
popularity of movement which
is now becoming quite general
throughout the country. The
rapidity with which the first edi-
ton of 10000 copies was disposed
Of shows that "The st. Paul
Hymnal" is well adapted to The
purpose which it is intended to
subserve. The new edition will
enable schools and parishes which
could not secure<a sufficient supply
for their needs to supplement the
number already in use.
The appendix which forms part
of the new issue has been publish
ed separately, and will be sent,
without additional cost, to all who
bought copies Of the first edition.
This will make it unnecessary for
them to procure another copy.
Those who are familiar with
"The st. Paul Hymnal" know
that it does not contain the must
cal notation for organ accompani-
ment. This is provided in a spe-
cial volume which gives the nota-
ton together with the complete
contents OF the regular edition.

il lit could be taken away--and we
know it cannot-Christiani would
collapse like house of cards, and man
would reel into the beast. What is life
in those lands which know no Easter?
Mental and usually material stagna-
ton; immortality and hopeless savag-
cry. We are unworthy enough of our
privileges; yet we know that the leav-
EN- of this life is in the certainty of the
completed life to come; that all the at
tempts of man to annihilate time and
space with his inventions, to perpetu
ate himself in art and literature are
the STRINGS of bodily as we'll as a
spiritual life within him which cannot
be depressed.
Christ's resurrection had its witness
es among the pagans as well as among
His followers; and first of all, were the
guards at the sepulcher. A compare
lively small number of His post-resur-
rection appearances are given in the
scriptures, but enough to show that He
satisfied every doubt, not only by sight
but by the touch Of His hands and the
sound Of His voice; that He partook Of
food as man with man. albeit He need
ed no earthly sustenance, and that He
continued the organization of the
Church from the point at which He had
left it off before His Crucifxion.

THE ARCHBIsHoP'S PAS
TORAL.

We have made arrangements to
issue in pamphlet form the Pas
toral Letter of the Most Reverend
Archbishop which was read in all
the churches of the diocese before
Lent and published in The Catho.
lie Bulletin of February 26.
The pastoral deals with the rev,
erence due to the Holy Names of
the Creator and Of the Redeemer-
a subject of primary Importance
i'll these days when blasphemy,
cursing and profane language arc
SO frightfully common, even
among Catholics whose lips should
never pronounce the Sacred
Names save with the reverence
which they conjure up in the
minds of all who are conscious of
what they signify.
This pamphlet will consist Of
sixteen pages, and will bear the
title, "The Holy Names" It
should be read and re-read by all
Catholics, both young and old.
Catholic societies should take
pride i'll distributing it broadcast
that it may come into the hands
OF their non-Catholic: friends.
Every member of the Holy Name
Society should make it point to
read the pamphlet and profit by
it's teaching. In every parish
where Holy Name Society is Or
gained, several hundred copies
could be distributed through the
members. In a word, there are
many ways in which this pamphlet
could be placed where it will do
much good as an exposition Of
Catholic teaching, and an invita-
ton to Catholics to join the Holy
Name Society, and make repara-
ton for the insults offered to God
and the Saviour, by the irreverent
use of the sacred names.
We are prepared to fill orders
for these pamphlets at the rate Of
five cents each or three dollars a
hundred, money to accompany the
order in every case. How many
can you use?

HE DIED A PAPIsT. !"

The Ave Maria says: ''The
celebration Of Shakespeare S ter

dispute about his religion. How
ever difficult it may be to prove
conclusively that he was a Cath

that he was not. His familiarity
with the teaching Of the Church
on certain points and his rever-
ence for what Protestants of his
time were won't to deride is an
argument in itself. And the

to Shakespeare, concluded thus:

WHY TOTAL ABSTAINERS ARE
PREFERRED.

A man employed as tCamSter in
certain mill came to work on several
occasions in an intoxicated condition.
The manager, noticing the condition
of the teamster OH one particular
morning. was considering what TO do
with him to break him of tho liquor
habit, but before he decided the man
himself decided by falling off his
wagon seat, breaking his neck. 1t
will not take judge or jury to decide
for Mr. Manager the next time case
like this presents itself.
This manager talks total abstinence,
and will do SO forever.
Another case: A teamster whose
duty it was to do cleaning around the
office had taken several nips in tho
morning, and his condition was notice
able to his manager. This manager
learned of the accident previously
related, and figured that neither the
law nor any one else was going to
slip one over on him; so he notified
his man to leave the premises for the
day The man, however, decided to
duty by taking his horses to water
trough, located about onc-half a mile
from the mill. His team was hitched
up and started for the trough, but,
passing a saloon, the teamster figured
a nip or two would make him feel
better. After imbibing quite freely,
he tried to climb on his wagon, missed

a broken leg. His horses became
frightened and in the runaway collided
with a farmers outfit, and in the
spill the farmer sustained a broken
hip and his horse ran away.
This meant loss of an employee,
certain preliminary expenses. etc, and
the farmer instituted suit for $4,000
damages. Do you blame the manager
for encouraging total abstinence?

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
1T WAS HIS PAPA.

very saddening incident was
noted on street car during the holt
day season. A neatly-dressed young
matron and her little son, a child of
five years, were sitting on the cross
seats in the rear. The child amused
himself by studying the other pas
sengers, and presently he gaZed with
deep interest at young man, whose
head was settling down on his knees,
as he yielded to the influence of the
liquor he had taken and the heat of
the car. Suddenly the boys eyes
lighted up, and jumping to his feet,
he pointed towards the sleeper
Mama! mama!" he cried in his
high, shrill voice, there's my papa!"
The mother started, looked where the
little finger pointed, and then said
sharply: tSit down, Billy. That is
not your papa" "Oh, but it isl said
Billy, as he struggled to get free.
Don't | know my papa?" The other
passengers looked curiOusly at the
young mothers flushed cheeks, as she
caught Billy and forced him into the
seat. For the rest of the trip the
child remained silent, but he still
stole some longing glances at the
drunken man. Approaching the stop
his mother rose, took the child by the
hand and went towards the door.
For moment she hesitated, then go
ing rapidly up the aisle she shook the
sleeper, two men in the seat behind
him raised him to his feet, and he
managed to stumble from the car,
after the child was so proud to claim
him and the young wife who was SO
ashamed of him that she disclaimcd

SOUTH AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

South America is a valuable
asset for Protestant missionaries
1t pays to exploit the alleged
medieyalism of that country in
the matter Of religion. and educa-
ton. The tales which returned
preachers and colporters tell of
the so-called superstition and ig-
nOrance which flourish in that be-
nighted continent are the cham
pion painless extractors Of coin
from the purses of people who are
always ready to shell out the
shekels in response to an appeal
for evangelical work among the
people of South America who,
according to the promoters, have
been deprived for centuries of the
true gospel by the Catholic
Church.
The United States is prolific
source of revenue for the pro-
motors of Protestant evangelical
work i'll South America. One of
the most active Of these preach
ers is Bishop Stuntz whose name,
it may be remarked, is suggestive
of peculiar antics. The Bishop
for South America" as he is
called, is eminently fitted to live
up to it's requirements. lie
makes the most absurd, state
ments about conditions in South
America with a disregard for
truth which is amazing even in a
Methodist Bishop.
At the opening session of the
Laymen Missionary meeting
held in New York recently for
the purpose Of stimulating inter
est in foreign missions, Bishop
Stuntz asserted that colleges
should be. established III every
capital city of South America.
He said he had not found native
clergyman there who could pass
the graduation examination of
our colleges.
We take it for granted that the
report of the Bishops address
given III the public press is sub
stantially correct. In view Of the
charge which he makes, we also
take it for granted that he never
conversed with half dozen ma
tive clergymen of South America.
Had he attempted to catechize
them in regard to their intellect
ual qualifications, they would GER
tainly have challenged his right
to consider himself or his colleges
a standard of culture. Had
Bishop Stunt taken the trouble
to study conditions as they are,
with a mind unbiased by religious
prejudice. he would have found
that South America is. to say the
least, as well equipped with edu-
cational institutions of all kinds
as the United States itself.
What are the facts Of the case?
Let us take the testimony of a
traveller and scholar who knows
more about South America. as it
really is, than Bishop Stuntz will
ever learn, no matter how long he
may reside there. One OF the
