JURY VISITS CONVENT
GOOD SHEPHERD HOME GIVEN
EVIDENCE OF THEIR
PLEASURE.

The House of the Good Shepherd,
in New Orleans, La, received, unex'
pectedly, a few days ago, a visit from
the grand jury of the State, which
was making the tour of visitations of
the various institutions of the city.
The gentlemen of the grand jury were
so pleased with the i'll which
this institution is conducted that one
of them, Mr.. Philip N. Mott, sug-
gested to another, Mr.. Dryden Will
liamS, of the Crescent Film Company,
that it would be a kindly act to give
the inmates a little treat i'll the way
of a moying-picture show. Mr.. Will
liams at once acceded, and set to
work to have all the equipment for a
first-class show properly arranged in
the study hall of the institution. Mr..
Mott and Mr.. Williams not only came
themselves, bringing their wives with
them, but other members of the grand
jury. also came with their wives and
members of their families.

Reputation and character are
two terms that frequently are
interchanged without reason.
Character as Abbott says, lis
what a person is; reputation is
what he is supposed to be. Char
acter is injured by temptations
and by wrong-doing; reputation,
by ISLANDERS and libels."
No truer words Oh this subject
possibly could be uttered. The
tendency Of the human mind in it's
present state is TO seek reputation
rather than character, to appear
rather than to be. II we could lift
aside for a moment the veil that
hides the heart and motives of the
average man, possibly we would
see the idol of Reputation en-
throned i'll the sanctuary. ChM
acter, with all that it means and
stands for, is the result Of the
highest form of religious feeling.
Reputation is but the tinsel COW
ering over ugliness it is the artif-
cial, powdered bloom on coarse
features. Frequently it is the
whitened sepulcher concealing
putrid flesh and dead bones. Repu-
tation may be injured, nay,
destroyed, by even. an un-
founded charge. 1t is of the
earth, earthly. Character, on
the contrary, is internal. 1t
withstands triumphantly the
storms Of infamy. of SANDER, of
obloquy, Of misunderstanding, of
unjust denunciations. Character
may be assailed from without, but
never can it be injured, because
it is of the soul, spiritual. 1t is
contaminated and weakened only
from within: by temptations ac-
cepted, by poisoned motives, by
unjust desires, by wrong-doing of
any kind. Many a person in every
walk of life without distinction of
age, or class, or condition, is to be
found who places all his hope in
maintaining his so-called reputa-
ton while imperilling the security
of his character. Many a man,
whose character has been torn to
shreds by weakness Of will OF
malice of mind, endeavors to de.
ceive his followers by his solici.
tude for his reputation. A man
of strong character seldom cares
about the opinion Of those who
would force him to wrong-doing.
When reputation is given the
preference over real character we
have lying, deceit, uncharitable-
ness, renegade or lukewarm Cath
olics, Or plaster pillars of real
infamy.

THE SOLDIERS HOME
WASHINGTON, D. Co. INSTITUTION
UNDER FIRE FOR EMPLOYING
CATHOLIC SISTERS AS NURSES.

The fact that Sisters of Charity are
employed as nurses in the Soldiers
Home in Washington, d. c., has led
to an attack of the A. P. A. forces on
the management of that institution. 1t
has been represented by the bigots
that the home has fallen into the
hands of the Roman Catholics" with
the result that Protestant inmates
are neglected, if not actually i'll
treated.
The National Tribune" of Wash.
ington, in an editorial appearing in a
recent issue, shows the utter falsity
and absurdity Of these charges, and
explains the reason for the employ
mcnt of religious nurses in the insti-
tution-a reason that is a signal trib-
ute to the self-sacrificing devOtedness
of our Catholic Bisterhoods. After re.
peating the various charges, the editor
of the National Tribune writes:
"The plain truth is the home is a
strictly military institution governed
by the rules and regulations of the
United States Army, which knows no
political party, no race, nor sectarian
denominations.
1T is managed very much as a camp
or garrison is, with justice and impair
TALLY to all and NJ fayors to any.
The men are old regulars, and, through
force of habit, if nothing else, the
rules and habits of a garrison dom.
mate everywhere.
There is no question raised as to a
mans nativity. politics, ace or re-
ligion, any more than there is in a
camp in the field. All of the officers,
excepting the surgeon in charge, are
Professionals. The surgeon and his as
sistants are members of the medical
corps of the regular army, and take
regular terms of duty at the home,
precisely as they do in other routine
Of the army"

Struck thg great blow for not only

struck the great blow for not only,
religious bAt also political liberty.
Discarding the improved claim ia
political enfranchisement, it would
be instructive to compare the re-
ligious world before the year 1917,
and since that eventful date. Up
to the year 1917, religion flowed
along through the channel of the
ages bulWarked on either side by
the holding walls of religious GER
tainty. In its onward, exultant,
triumphal flowing, religion enjoy
ed untrammeled freedom of ac-
ton and liberty of operation. The
members of the Church rode on
the wave of the flood certain of
their course and assured of their
safety. Those who remained in
the bark OF Peter were carried for
ward swiftly, and deposited safe
and happy on the shores of eter-
nifty.
After Luther's detection, when
he had opened up a new channel,
the religion which he ehampioned
met with many mishaps. The new

the surrounding country, and i'll
its scattering left everywhere the
wrecks Of the unfortunate ships
that had trusted themselves to its
murky but shallow and unprotect-
ed waters. Today as we look
about and view the work of Luth-
er we can count the sects by the
number Of years that have elapsed
since his rebellion. On every
hand we behold the result of So
called religious freedom, a free
dom which has made every man
the dictator of his own conduct
and the uncertain guide Of his own
course. 1t has been said that

THE HOME.

In a recent utterance Arch
bishop Glennon, of st. Louis, gave
forth a new slogan: Back to the
home"
These four words may well
form the text for a sermon or the
title for a volume which easily
might be written on the subject of
the home. Time was when the
home vas looked upon as the cen
ter of society, the source OF
strength, the foundation of i'll
spiration, the motive-power which
gave dynamic force to the collec-
tive efforts of the social units. But
the home, like the heart, is the
place whence issue both good
things and bad. The heart cannot
but give forth what it possesses E;
SO, likewise, the home. While pos
sessing no particular brief for the
superiority of the old-fashioned
home in all respects, an observer
cannot fail to note that the
strengthening influences of the
home of yesterday are noticeably
absent at the present day. The
causes seem to be internal as we'll
as external. The former are to be
found III the prevalence of divorce,
or the %lOOseness of the marriage
bond, excessive devotion to club
activities on the part Of the father
or mother, and the modern idea of
lax discipline with regard to the
children. External reasons may
be found in an unbridled desire
for frequent amusement. For the
modern child looks upon amuse-
ments Of all kinds as not merely
accidental but as an essential part
of his existence. The ultimate re
suit is seen in a loosening of home
ties and a general drifting from
the domestic mornings. In many
eases, it is true, the home is a most
unpleasant place for youth on
account of the uncongenial condi-
tions that often exist there
chickering's between husband and
wife, coarse language, vulgarity in
many forms, and uncalled for
severity towards the young PEG,
pie. Hence, as a clever French
Canadian journalist expresses it
"The floor of the home burns the
feet nowadays"

IMPORTANT COURT DECISION

The Supreme Court of the State
of New York recently handed
down a most important decision.
A Christian Scientist was arrested
in New York, and fined on the
ground that healing by prayer was
unauthorized medical practice.
The Appellate Court sustained the
conviction, decreeing that it was
not a valid defense for the defend
ant to say that he was following
his religious beliefs. The Supreme
Court Of the State overturned this
ruling. Chief Justice Barrett as
serted that the conviction would
be illegal even without the act
which permits praying for the
sick. Justice Barrett said: 81
deny the power Of the Legislature
to make it a crime to treat disease
by prayer"
If praying for the sick were
considered a crime then, indeed,
would new prisons and jails be re-
CURED everywhere. Christianity
teaches that when there is one sick
amongst lis we should call in the
priest of God who will pray for
the sick man. Catholic practice
and, generally speaking, Christian
usage, has always sanctioned pray
en- for the sick. Christ Himself
prayed for those afflicted with va
rious ailments, and the Catholic
Church has special prayers i'll her
ritual for all the ills that afflict hui
manity. While the medical profess
sion ranks high, and while the
members thereof are generally men
Of ability and rectitude and high
motives; still it might be surpris-
ing to know how many cures have
been effected through the sole
medium Of prayer. The Lives Of
the Saints, the history of the
Church, and the annals Of count
less shrines throughout the Catho-
lie world attest to the. wonderful,
and even miraculous, efficacy of
prayer. The great sanctuaries Of
the world show forth numberless
tokens offered by the sick in recog-
milton Of their cure which has
been brought about by nothing
else but prayer. Truly, Horatio,
there m more things i'll prayer
than were ever dreamt of in your
philosophy.

DIES CATHOLIC
GREAT SPANISH DRAMATIsT, COM.
PARED TO MICHAEL ANGELO
AS A GENIUS, ASKS FOR PRIEST
AT HIS DEATH.

A great figure passed away from
contemporary Spanish life by the
death, on September II, Of D. Jose
Echegaray. He "a such a many-slded
genius that he has been compared by
his countrymen to Michael Angelo,
Leonardo da Vinci, and those men of
the Renaissance who shone equally in
the varied departments of literature,
science and art. One of the most
prominent scientists Spain has pro
duced for the last few centuries, he
was at the same time n Of its fore
fact, the founder of the modern Span
iSh school of drama. From 1874 to
the beginning of the present century,
scarcely u year passed that did not see
at least one of his plays produced.
1t is the old story, SO often repeated
in Spain when prominent revolution
lists come to die. In his will, he had
left as recorded that he desired Chris
tan burial. In his last illness the
priest was called, and he devoutly re-
ceived the Sacraments. When rapid
ly sinking, he kept repeating to the
end, Jesus, my God"
BY royal decree he was granted the
funeral honors of a Captain-General
who dies while actually in command.
The funeral procession raj certainly
wonderful-troops lined the streets,
attachments of cavalry paraded, mill
tary bands played, ETC., but more sig
niicant than all these were the paro-
chial cross, which preceded the hearse,
and the standard of the religious Con-
fraternities of the parish to which de-
ceased belonged.

How then could she weary of her
