Abbot John the Less, who was a
young man, and had an elder brother,
used to say: Il wanted to be without
any care whatsoever, and to be like
the angels of God, who do nothing ex-
cept sing and pray to Him." And
straightway he cast from him the gar.
ments which he had on, and went forth
to the wilderness; and when he had
passed one week there, he returned to
his brother. Now, when he knocked
at the door his brother did not answer
it, but asked him: 'Who art thou?"
And John said unto him: 81 am john
And his brother answered and said
unto him: John hath become an angel
and is no longer among men, And
John entreated him, saying: II indeed
am John" But his brother did not
open the door until the morning. And
when he came to open the door he
said unto John: IF thou art indeed a

SO that thou mayest live"

never tasted anything that had had

THE BIsHoP-ELEcT OF LEAD.

AS announced elsewhere in this
issue the Right Reverend Bishop
Lawler, Auxiliary Bishop Of ST.
Paul, has been appointed Bishop
of Lead, S. d. He. viii have juris-
diction over all the territory west
of the Missouri River, comprising
an area Of over forty-one thou
sand square miles.
The removal of Bishop Lawler
from st. Paul, where he has served
as Auxiliary to the Most Rever-
end Archbishop since 1910, will
be a great loss to the Archdiocese
and to the city where he has al
ways taken an active interest in
every movement for the general
welfare of the community. He
has been prominent in the relig-
ious and public life of st. Paul for
score of years and his transfer
to another field of activity will be
regretted by many: but it will be
corresponding gain for the Do
cese of Lead where a strong and
vigorous hand is needed at the
helm of ecclesiastical affairs.
The Bishop-elect is a scholarly
prelate of wide experience and
mature Judgment and under his
guiding hand and fOStprinp care
the future of the Church in the
Diocese of Lead is promising in
deed.
The Catholic Bulletin tenders
sincere congratulations TO the new
Bishop of Lead and wishes him
many years Of jealous and fruit
full leadership in the new field Of
labor to which ne has been APP
pointed by the Supreme Pontiff.

RAILROADS GOING DRY.

Mr.. William Fl. Anderson, superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League for
the State of New York, has addressed
letter to the presidents Of railroads
operating in his State calling upon
them to discontinue the sale of liquors
upon trains operating therein. Five
hundred and eleven townships out OF
932 are already "dry" and to sell
liquor on trains as they pass through
these townships is violation Of the
law. This cannot be done satisfactor-
lily without having miniature block

ated by the steward as signalman OF

We cannot predict what effect such
a letter will have, but his appeal is
based upon sound argument We
quote one paragraph:

the operation Of trains not only from
drinking, but even from frequenting

railroads il frequently In violation of

We have received a communica-
ton from one who styles himself
a missionary for over twenty
years in Mexico" in the course of
which he calls upon the sixteen
millions Of Catholics in the United
States to do their duty towards
their prosecuted brethren in Mex
leo, and suggests the manner in
which their protest is to be made
effective. We do not think the
procedure he outlines would bet
ter the situation much. When he
states that the whole Catholic
press Of the United States prac-
tically has been silent or muz-
zled,' = he confesses himself I'M
familiar with the many and vigor-
Gus protests which almost every
Catholic. paper in the United
States has made during the past
two years against the attitude
which the present administration
has taken towards Mexico. The
Catholic papers have done their
duty in this regard and if they
have not succeeded in arousing
their readers to a full realization
of the deplorable results of
watchful waiting" it is not their
fault. The reason must be sought
for in the general apathy of the
Catholic body.

Too many people make life
miserable for themselves and miss
all the happiness that would
otherwise be their portion by
contrasting their condition with
the lot of those who arc, seeming
ly at least, more prosperous and
in better circumstances than they.
Consequently, they are always
hankerings for things which lie
just beyond their reach and which
they imagine will conduce to their
happiness. If they would only
contrast their condition and sur
roundings with those Of their less
fortunate brethren and realize
how much better off they are than
hundreds of others whom they
know, they, would not only secure
peace of soul for themselves but
would experience the joy which
true contentment brings. In addi-
ton to that, they could increase
their happiness by ministering to
those who are not so well off as
they are and who would appre-
ciate the touch of a kindly hand.

The worst evils, says Canon
Sheehan, are those that never oc-
cur. And where would be our
faith in Providence-the Far, Seer
IF our weak eyes could pene-
trate the dusk of the way we shall
yet have to wake
There is fullest truth in the
statement. Many people worry
themselves to death about things
that never happen. They are al.
ways anticipating trouble and,
consequently, when affliction does
come they are not prepared to
meet it in a Christian spirit. A
little more confidence in Divine
Providence would make life much
happier for all of us and for our
neighbors.

TO TAKE UP MATTER
 OF GOVT. LOT FAXES

At a special meeting of the city council last evening Councilman Du- breuil moved that the question of taxation of the property to be sold by the government next month be re- ferred to the city attorney and after some discussion this was done. It may be mentioned in this respect that some time ago this paper quoted Mir. Christensen of the land depart ment as saying that his department was trying to figure out some means by which the purchasers of the lots would pay towards the city expenses. The fact that the commissioner of the land office states that the improve ments in the Anchorage lots are tax able shows that buildings on the gov ernment tract here would also be li- able to taxation.

FIGHTING ELSEWHERE

LONDON, June 13 - The fighting around Verdun

Several boats have been sent out in the slight hope that the body of Lord Kitchener might be found but the searchers have been many since the sinking of the Hampshire and as no results have been achieved hope has almost entirely disappeared Of the three hundred men lost when the cruiser went down only the bodies of very few have been taken out The admiralty has not yet given out its opinion as the cause of the sinking of the Hampshire but the be-
 lief has been expressed in quarters that the enemy must have been lurking in wait for some such a chance
