ORIGINAL CHRISTIANS WERE
JEWS.
From the Catholic New

From the Catholic News.
Recently, in speaking of the prob.
able failure of Protestant missionaries
to make good Protestants out of Cath
olics in South America whom they
seek to turn from their Catholic be.
liefs, the editor of the New York
Evening Journal said: "You can't
change real Catholic into real Prot
estant." From this self-evident plati-
tude he proceeds to say: Similarly
you cannot make a Jew into a Chris.
tian.'
The first Christians were Jews and
Jews almost exclusively. The first
Eon-Jewish converts were looked upon
askance by the devout Christianized
Jews. Many of these felt that the
Jews were the chosen people to be.
come Christians and that the Gospel
ought not to be preached to the Gen
tiles. Disputes occurred among the
very fathers of the Church, them
selves Christianized Jews, as to the
righteousness of admitting Gentiles
to the Christian faith.
The twelve Apostles were Jews.
The men who went forth on Pente.
cost to preach the Gospel to the ma
tions of the earth were all Jews. In
stead of becoming Christians under
threats of torture and burning, thou
sands of Christianized Jews refused
to give up Christianity when tortured
in a hundred ways. Their blood, the
blood of those Christianized Jews, is
the seed of the church. Their un-
shakeable Christian faith is one of
the marvels of the world. They went
to their deaths so bravely, so nobly,
with such forgiveness for their enc.
mics in their hearts that they shamed
the pagan prosecutors who could not
comprehend such marvellous devotion
to an obscure creed. The Christian
ity of those Jews has helped to evan
gelize the world. The successor of
the great Christian Jew, Simon Peter,
sits on the Pontifical throne today.

the child of her age she was. She and
her husband are the fine flowers of
medieval chivalry when religion was
a romance and romance was a re-
ligion. Whoever ambitions becoming
an Irish hagiologist should try to
follow in Montalembert's footsteps
and depict the state of Ireland at the
time the Saints he writes of lived.
If it be true that Saints are the in
carnation of the national genius at it's
best, it is both religious and ma
tional duty to bring to light the lives
Of the sainted men and women of our
race.
All of us who live in ireland and
especially those of us who have gone
much among the people of the Gael
tacht have had the privilege of know
ing men and women to whom it is no
exaggeration to apply the term Saint.
Lives of really heroic virtue have been
led and are still being led by those
whose hands we have clasped, and
whose friendship and affection we
have had the honor to enjoy. And
when these splendid soldiers of Christ
fall, having fought the good fight and
finished their course, is it not we'll
that sometimes corner of the veil
which hid their lives be lifted, and
thot tho;r o,,,pofr;ofc no cIouy,, fIo;r
shining example.
The sainted ones of our race in
early days shine like stars in the firma-
ment. The Glory of Patrick, Bridget,
Columcille, and the rest of that galaxy
of Gods heroes who gave our land
the title of Island of Saints, blazes
down the ages. But since the shadow
of the penal days fell over Ireland,
sanctity has flourished here by stealth,
and furtive note has crept into our
peoples fervour. 1t is only when the
scrolls of time are finished and those
Of Eternity are unrolled that the hid
den holiness of Ireland will be re-
vealed.
Surely it is for "the glory of God
and the honor of Ireland" that some
of the hidden lives of our modern
Irish Saints be made known. They
shrouded themselves in humility and
obscurity while they lived among us,
but now that they have entered into
their Kingdom we may profit by
studying in their lives the wonders
which the Lord can do to those who
love Him. "He is the same yester-
day, today and forever" Rightly the
Gaedhilgeoir calls Him reverently
THE King of Miracles"
Catholic theology teaches that char
acter is of more Importance than
achievement, that what we are matters
more than what we do. 1t is there
fore, more important to arrive at an
understanding of the inner life of our
forefathers during the era of suppress
sion and persecution than to know the
glorious deeds of our missionaries in
earlier days. Perhaps then, inspired
by their example, we may follow in
the wake of the heroes" Holy Scrip
ture dwells on the importance of this
pious filial duty of recording our fore
fathers virtues. We read in Ecclesias-
ticus Xiv. Ills: "Now let us praise
men of renown and our fathers in
their generation.
Let the people show forth their wis.
dom and the Church declare their
praise"

History Reneats ltself.

When the Lincoln administration
came into power Mexico had been in
a turmoil for years. The Juarez gov
eminent had come into power, but
was unable to enforce order over the
country. Not only had American prop
erty been destroyed but American lives
had been lost and a member of the
American legation had been MUIR
dered.
The attention of the nagging news
papers and interested jingoes is call
ed to the following memorandum,
which was part of President Lincolns
instructions to the American minister
to Mexico at that time, and which de-
fines the principle that President
Wilson has followed with our unfor-
tunate neighbors to the south:
LincoIn's Mexican Policy
For a few years past the condi-
tion of Mexico has been so unsettled
as to raise the question on both sides
of the Atlantic whether the time has
not come when some foreign power
ought, in the general interest of So
ciety, to intervene, to establish a pro-
tectorate or some other form of gov
eminent in that country and guarantee
it's continuance there.
you will not fail to assure the
government of Mexico that the Presi.
dent neither has, nor can ever have,
any sympathy with such designs in
whatever quarter they may arise or
whatever character they may take
on. y
"The President never for a moment
doubts that the republican system is
to pass safely through all ordeals and
prove permanent success in our own
country, and so to be recommended
to adoptio by all other nations.
"But he thinks also that the sys-
tenn everywhere has to make it's way
painfully through difficulties and en-
barrassments which result from the
action of antagonistical elements that
are legacy of former times and very
different institutions.
"The President is hopeful of the ul-
innate triumph of this system over
all obstacles as we'll in regard to Mex
leo as in regard to every other Amer
lean state; but he feels that those
states are nevertheless justly entitled
| to greater forbearance and more
generous sympathies from the govern
ment and people of the United States
than they are likely to receive in any
other quarter.
"The President trusts that your mis-
sion, manifesting these sentiments,
will reassure the government of Mex.
leo of his best disposition to favor
their commerce and their internal i'm
provements.. N5I t.'t
ri find the archives here full of
complaints against the Mexican gov
eminent for violation of contracts and
spoliation and cruelties practiced
against American citizens. 1t is not
the Presidents intention to send for
ward such claims at the present mo-
ment. He willingly defers the perfor-
nance of duty, which at any time
would seem ungracious until the in
coming administration in Mexico shall
have had time, If possible, to cement
it's authority"

Why Not Change the Policy?

why INOI SIdV8S tVS COuCy!
1t has been observed that property
owners on planked streets strenuous.
ly oppose their improvement by paw
ing, and viewed from the selfish bust
ness point that animates most of us,
their action is no cause for wonder.
So long as the city pursues the pres
ent policy of repairing plank streets
to the point of renewal at the cost
of the entire city why should those
people not resist an attempt to really
make them pay for the upkeep of
their street?
But, those who are taxed for hard
surfaced streets are becoming weary
of the load Of paying for the rebuild
ing Of plank streets, as they are do
ing now. And the remedy appears
exceedingly plain. If the city coun-
Gil would adopt the policy of making
but very minor repairs on the plank
ed streets, and closing them to travel
when badly or dangerously out of Or
der until the entire block is in such
condition and could be rebuilt at the
cost Of the AUDITING property, the
owners would quickly discover that
hard surfaced street, paid for on a
ten-year plan, was not only a better
street, but the cheapest.
This course, the fairness of which
may not be questioned, would elimi-
nate one of the largest items in the
current expense budget, the bulk of
which is paid by the owners of prop.
erty on streets that have already
been permanently improved, and be
much better for the city at large.
