Nv u were IN California at the
w time Dustin Fa5num came
W out there to play in pic
lures. He had already done "The
Virginian," and it was such a sue
cess that the Pallas company, which
was then the Bosworth company,
sent for him to star in a famous old
Spanish-American story, Captain
Courtesy"
Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley,
her husband, who directed Dustin
Farnum, told me an exciting story
which occurred during the taking OF
the pictures.
"Of course, when word was re-
ceived among the cowboys that Dus-
tin Farnum, the famous actor OF
The Virginian,' was to come out on
the rancho to put on a picture, they
all smiled among themselves and
said, Wen show that matinee idol
a couple Of tricks or so.'
YOU'D better be careful we
warned them, very much alarmed.
Everything in this life is equal. You
cowboys can ride horses better than
Mr.. Farnum, but you'd feel mighty
uncomfortable if you had to appear
on a New York stage and couldn't t
do It one-tenth as we'll as he
Reckln not, one OF the cow
boys drawled. Wed feel like a
country mule in a city stable
Then when Mr.. Farnum comes,
If he cannot ride as we'll as you boys,
you must respect and help him, for
he hasn't the years of experience in
the open places that you have had.
But the cowboys were a mean
looking bunch the day Mr.. Farnum
rode in among them, dressed in the
costume of the early Spanish bandit.
Wot dye think OF him? they
all asked each other. Just then Dus-
tin dismounted and walked over to
them, looking them sQuarely in the
eyes and smiling that sincere, all
embracing, magnetic smile of his, as
he held out his hand to each of
them.
AT first reluctantly, then rather
touched, they held out their grimy,
sunburned paws, for he had won
them over Immediately, so much so,
in fact, that they swore eternal
friendship for Dusty as they all
called him FIVE minutes after they
had met him.
Il don't know much about riding
these wild bronchos,' was the first
thing he said to them, but you fel-
lows will have to help mep
"'Betcher life we willp came a
dozen voices in reply, and right then
we knew there would be no trouble
in camp.
"a few days later, we were out
taking a scene where Hart Hoxey,
the wonderful Indian actor, who was
playing the part of a Mexican, met
Farnum on horseback and a fight
followed, Hart, as the Mexican, US
ing a knife, and Dustin with a gun.
The two horses wildly excited by
the firing, reared and plunged, and
the cowboys sent up a cheer for
Dusty as he clung heroicaiiy to his
saddle, while Hoxey took a spectac-
ular fall from his horse when he
was supposed to have been shot. 1t

SERMON OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP

and women! Not for you, my respect
ed hearers! Were to pass down at
this moment through the aisles of the
Cathedral and question grown men
and women on the lessons of the
Catechism, what answers would you
make me? Is there not peril that oft
and oft you would say-I knew my
Catechism when made my First Com
munion and when / was Confirmed,
but much of it have since forgotten.
Well you should not have forgotten it,
Tor the Catechism gives the summary
of what YOU should ever know, of what
you should ever remember. So now,
buy the Catechism. Read it, and re-
read it. Keep it near you where often
you may see it, where often you may
read it.. Have copy of the Catechism
for your own personal use: have copies
of it so that you may present one to
him who is yet searcher for divine
truth, that he may know exactly the
teaching of the Church. Catechisms
should be bought by the tens of thou
sands and judiciously distributed
where instruction in the truths of the
Church is desired or needed. At the
door Of the Cathedral to-day hundreds
of copies of the Catechism may be
purchased at five cents a piece. You
cannot complain of the price. A fur
Their supply of Catechisms will be at
the door of the Cathedral at the sew
eral Masses on next Sunday. Cate
chisms will be constantly held in the
book-rack at the entrance to the
church. 1t is my wish that every
Catholic own Catechism and read it,
and not only every Catholic in the
Cathedral parish, but every Catholic
in the entire Diocese of st. Paul
Hence my request to all pastors, that,
having explained to their people the
Importance of the Catechisn, they see
that all may possess copies of it.

thorized summary of the teachings of
your faith; not, however, that l limit

still humble little plant, which only
for few decades lifts its head above

mighty tree shading the earth, whose
crown reaches into the clouds, but a
tree, let us not forget, whose roots
are mostly rooted in the ground of
philosophical speculation, and not in
that of empirical (known by expert
ence) facts. The theory of evolution
which l hold both as a naturalist and
philosopher rests on the foundation of
the Christian world-view, which alone
hold to be correct In this evolu-
tionary, theoretical world-view on a

far from being an exaggeratfon,

far from being an exaggeratfon, is.
rather the contrary.
Certainly it is impossible to exag-
gerate the sufferings Of the martyrs.
Their moral afflictions, such as loss
Of property and rank and Office, the
wrenching of family ties, the conse-
quences to fall upon dear ones, these
are likely to be obscured in our mind
by the pictures of physical pain, of
penal slavery, OF prisons, dark and
foul, with the torment of hunger and
thirst, of unimaginable tortures, tor
lures so agonizing that the mere re-
cital of them makes us shudder
Mingled with tales of inconceivable
brutality are tales Of pathos that bring
tears to our eyes. The stories of the
early martyrs are a priceless heritage
of the Church forever.
1t must be remembered also that
escape was always easy for the mar.
t tyr If he would deny Ills Faith. His
trial was not properly a trial; that is,
there was no advocate, there were no
witnesses, for the prisoner admitted
the charge. Torture was inflicted,
not as the law allowed, to secure a
confession of guilt in view of punish
| ment, but to secure apostasy and ac-
quittal. One word of abjuration, one
small act of homage to the idol, and
the prisoner would be free
Perhaps in the latter days, as the
number Of Christians became great,
organized resistance to persecution
might have been possible But the
Divine Master wished them to con-
| quer the world by peaceful means, to
give ample Of charity, patience, for
giveness, to be blessed in suffering for
| justice sake. Had they used earth
ly weapons, had they asserted: their
right of self-defense, they would per
haps have conquered by human
means, but they would have lost the
very character which endears them
to us and which rendered them ad-
mirable even In the eyes of pagans.D
Tertullian was describing the actual
fact when he said, 1.-THE more you

your study of religion to the Cate
chism. The Catechism first and at all
times: but all things said, it is a sum-
mary, to be later enlarged by more
ample reading, starting point on the
road of light, to give encouragement
and understanding to further travel.
Supplement the Catechism with the
reading of Catholic books, Catholic
newspapers and reviews; and, in a
particular manner. with the frequent
hearing of sermons from the living
lips of your pastors. Pour into your
souls ceaseless draughts of light and
knowledge. The Catholic Church
makes the urgent invitation that she
be known the better, in order that she
be loved and oDeyed the better. The
monday light needs no argument that
it be admired and loved. So it is with
the truth, taught by Christ, taught by
the Church. The Catholic Church is
not known to our world. When pow
ers and principalities were wrestling
from peoples their Catholic faith
what did they do? They threw across
the native beauty of the Church the
veil of calumny, thus presenting to the
beholder hideous form which all who
saw should repudiate. Let knowledge
tear away that veil: let the spouse OF
Christ be seen in her native beauty:
and all who see her will cling to her
even to death itself. That you be
strengthened in the faith: that you
lead others to embrace it, know the
Church as she really is. See he1
queenly demeanor as she moves across
the earth, scattering words of saliva
ton wherever she sets her footsteps:
see the sunlight of Heaven sparkling
over her brow: see her as she was
when coming forth from the hand OF
Christ, as she is today under the
power of Christ abiding ever with her
as she will be to the end of time
Who sees her, never afterwards for
gets her charms, or turns away from
the ranks of her loyal sonship.

THE CONVERTS OF THE EARLY
CENTURIES-WERE TAKEN AT
FIRST FROM THE LOWEST
RANKs-LATER WERE FOUND
IN ALL -lMMENSE
NUMBER OF MARTYRS.

The story of the spread of the Chris
tian Faith in the early centuries is
marvellous one, and furnishes an ar
gument, advanced from the very be-
ginning, to prove that the Christian
Faith was indeed from heaven and
that it's author was indeed the Christ,
the Son of God.
The divine impulse of the first Pen
tecost carried the Faith throughout
the Roman Empire and even beyond
its frontiers. Jews from all parts lis
tened to st. Peters first sermon in
Jerusalem and brought the gospel mes
sage back TO their homes. Tho
Apostles went forth in obedience to
the bidding of the Lord. Within the
apostolic days the Faith took firm
hold in the East; it was planted in
Egypt; it had set foot in the West, in
Greece, in Macedonia, and in Rome
especially. from which place it pene.
trated into Spain.
The year Ga marks the beginning
of Nero's persecution of the Chris
tians. SIS. Peter and Paul suffered
martyrdom in Rome in the year 67.
From the year Ga on, to the year 313,
extends the period of persecution. In
the year 313 Constantine issued the
edict which recognized the Church
and made Christianity licit religion
How had the Faith Jared, what mum
Der of converts had been made during
those years in spite of the power OF
imperial Rome? Christianity had
grown steadily and to such extent
that the policy of persecution could
no longer be continued. Constantine
recognized fact when he recognized
the triumphant Church.
1t is not possible to determine def
initely the number of the Christian
population of the Roman Empire in
the year 800. Estimates have beer
attempted, but do not agree. Some
have said that the Christians made ur
i one-tweffth of the total population;
others have said one-fifth; and still
others have set the proportion as
| high as one-half.
Harnack, whose conclusions regard
ing the expansion of Christianity
agree, on the whole, with those of AL
lard, finds the proportion varying in
the different provinces of the Empire
In the city of Rome. particularly
we find that the Christian population
about the year 800 numbered, accord
ing to the calculation of Harnack
somewhere between $4,000 and 10,
600, and, according to that of Allard
between 100000 and !, 100000. Eyi

ST. THEODORE TYPO, MARTYR.

st. Theodore was born Of a noble
family in the east, and enrolled while
still a youth in the imperial army
Early in BOG the emperor put forth an
edict requiring all Christians to offer
sacrifice, and Theodore had just joined
the legion and marched with them
into Pontius, when he had to choose
between apostasy and death. He de-
clared before his, commander that he
was ready to be cut to pieces, and
offer up every limb to his Creator who
had died for him. Wishing, to conquer
him by gentleness, the commander left
him in peace for while that he might
think over his resolution; but Theo-
dore used his freedom to set on fire
the great temple of Isis, and made no
secret of this act. Still his judge en-
treated him to re1iounce his faith and
save his life; but Theodore made the
sign of the cross, and answered: "As
long as 1 have breath / will confess
the name of Christ" After cruel tor
ture, the judge babe him think of the
shame to which Christ had brought
him. This shame Theodore an
swered, 81 ands all who invoke His
name take with joy" At night his cell
was full of light, and heavenly voices
Joined with his in the praises of Christ
He was condemned to be burnt. AS
the flame rose, Christian saw his
soul rise like fash of light to heaven
An officer questioned Theodore about
the Son of God whom he served, and
said he preferred the service of his
own emperor Theodore made an
lswer: Would that you had light to
know the Son of God. Then you would
leave darkness, in which you lie, and
| fight for the King of kings"
