FOOD FOR SERIOUS THOUGHT.

In order to show the origin of the
love of the Irish people for Virtue,
and Valor, Liberty and Equality, Piety
and Patriotism, herewith is presented
the Moral Code of the Race. as OBJ
served 1850 years before Christ.
This Code was written in the ancient
Scythian language by Ellus, who was
the leader of the Celtic race from 1868
B. C. to 1885 B. c., and was translated
by O'Connor in A. D. 1922, and may
be found in the CHRONICLES of Fri,
as published by O'Connor in that year.
Moral Code of the Children Of Fri.
"Then did each father declare unto
those descended from his loins:
1. Give praise and thanks to Baal,
the author of light and life.
2. Shed not the blood of thy fell
low without just cause.
3. Take not aught belonging to an
other secretly. ~
4, Keep falsehood from thy lips
falsehood perverts justice.
5. Keep envy from thy heart
envy corrodes the spirit.
6. Keep flattery from thy tongue
fiattery blinds the judgment.
Z z. Pay respect to thy father, con-
form myself unto his will, be thou a
sure prop to his old age.
s. Love, honor and cherish thy
mother. Let thy hand wait on her
eye--thy foot move in obedience to
her voice; for the first pain that thou
causest to her, she was quit for the JOY
at thy coming forth. Beware of bring
ing grief to thy mothers heart; the
thought will sting thy spirit in the
time to come.
8. Contend not with thy brother
unity becometh brethren. 3fa
10. Be loving and protecting unto
thy sister.
IL. Cherish the widow, nourish the
orphan, deprived of his father, his
staff, never more to hear a tender
mothers voice.
II. Relieve the poor, the needy and
distressed. Be kind and minister unto
the stranger far from the dwelling of
his kindred.
1S. Be merciful unto every living
creature.
Ia. Be watchful to keep thy pas.
sions in obedience to thy reason, in
the first place, thereby wilt thou avoid
doing unto another what thou wouldst
not have another do unto thee.
Is. Preserve the glory of thy race;
die or live free"
Note: "And it shall be in that day
thou shalt call me Ishi and shall no
more call me Baal. "-Hosea 2:16.
Note: Erin, the modern poetical
name for Ireland! is the possessive of
Fri.

4. To induce their neighbors to re-
frain from all insults against God and

becoming language.

! sT.tPATRlck's BELL.

The iron bell which was once the prop
erty of st. Patrick, is one of the best
authenticated and oldest relics that
have descended to us. It's history COW
ers a period of no less than fourteen
hundred years. 1t is formed of two
pieces of sheet-iron, which are bent SO
that they meet, and are fastened to-
gether with large rivets. Some bronze
was also used in its construction,
which contributed to its preservation
and helped to make its tone more
sweet.
The beautiful shrine, or covering, by
which this relic was protected is also
in existence. AS early as the eleventh
century these shrines began to be
used, and no decoration or material
was thought too fine to employ in their
manufacture. This particular shrine,
one of the most beautiful known, was
probably made about the beginning of
the twelfth century, and is wonder
full specimen of the goldsmith's art.
In it we see brass, silver and gold,
wrought in plates and the finest fill
gree work: while rich gems lend their
aid in making it beautiful and valu-
able In accordance with an old GUS
tom, this shrine was for centuries in
the care of certain family, who act
ed as its keepers and were rewarded
by the Crown. Both bell and shrine
are now preserved in the Royal Acad-
envy of Dublin.

THE BETTER THING.

1t is better to lose with conscience

Than win by a trick unfair;
1t is better to. fall, and to know you've
been,
Whatever the prize was, square,
Than to claim the joy of far-off goal
And the cheers of the standers-by,
And to know down deep in your in
most sonl
A cheat you must live and die
Who wins by trick may take the prize
And at first he may think it sweet,
But many a day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat;
For the man who lost shall be glad at
heart
And walk with his head up high,
While his conqueror knows he must
play the part
Of cheat and a living lie.
The prize seems fair when the fight
is on,
but save IT IS truly won
You will hate the thing when the
crowds are. gone,
For it stsatls for a false deed done.
And it's better you never should reach
your goal
Than ever success to buy
At the price of knowing down in your
soul
That your glory is all lie.

LV. Animal Ethics.

Objection: The English philosopher
Herbert Spencer (T1903) proves from
many dog stories that animals per-
form moral acts. Animals have, there
fore, ethics (the science of human
duty.
Answer: The whole trick of Spen-
Ger consists in this, that he calls
things by another name; he calls NOR
ally good what is, according to all
civilized nations, Epicurian (given to
luxury selfishness. The norm of his
morality is nothing but sensual lust,
or, to use nicer words, comfortable
feeling or qualification, the physical
wellbeing. OF course, in that sense
animals can be moral.
With such change and confusion
of ideas beggar can become reign
ing monarch in a twinkle; he need
only call his cap a crown, his cane a
scepter and his dog and cat his sub
jects: and-"long live the king!"
Spencer says: IAN act is morally
good or bad, just as its consequences
are. good or bad for the actor or for
Others" Hence, if l investigate wheth-
er a hot poultice or a porous plaster
or an EYE opener or a stay of sew
eral weeks at a health-resort, ETC., has
good or bad results for myself or 9TH
ers, that is an ethical, moral-philoso-
phical investigation. In this way all
physicians and druggists are moral
philosophers by excellence.

The imaginative infidel naturalist
Brehm (f18S4) endows animals at the
outset with human thoughts, feelings,
virtues and vices, which casts over
his natural history a fairy atmosphere,
which bears the same relation to sci
ence that the nursery has to the uni
yersity lecture hall
The Zoologist, Prof. Altum (f1900),
q priest, proves in his book der Vo-
gel und sein Leben" (the bird and it's
life) in the clearest manner by exam
piles that animals have not even the

UNsPokEN WORDS.
(Ry John Boyle o,ReilIy.)I

The kindly words that rise within the
heart
And thrill it with their sympathetic
tone,
But die ere spoken, fail to play their
part,
And claim a merit that is not their
own.
The kindly word unspoken is a sin,
Al sin that wraps itself in purest guise,
And tells the heart that, doubling,
looks within
That not a speech, but thought, the
virtue lies.
But It's not so; another heart may
thirst is.s
For that kind word, as Hagar in the
Wild
Poor banished Hagar! prayed a we'll
might burst
From out the sand to save her parch-
ing child,
And loving eyes that can not see the
mind
Will watch the expected movement Of
the lip
And can We let it's cutting silence wind
Around that heart and seattle it like
whip?
Unspoken words, like treasures in the
mind,
Are valueless until we give them
birth,
Like unbound gold their hidden beau
ties shine
Which God has made to bless and gid
the earth.
How sad 'twould be to see masters
hand
Strike glorious notes upon voiceless
lutte!
But, oh, what pain when, at Gods own
command,
"a heartstring thrills with kindness,
but is mute!
Then hide it not, the music of the
soul
Dear sympathy, expressed with kind
ly voice,
But let it like a shining river roll
To deserts dry-to hearts that would
s ]. rejoice,
Oh, let the sympathy of kindly words
Sound for the poor, the friendless and
the weak!
And He will bless you; He who struck
these chords
Will strike another when in turn you
seek.

INFLUENCE OF THE COURAGEOUS

If the good were as bold as the bad,
says Father Bede Jarrett, o. p, there
would be no bad left. or very few.
Every unit tells. If very Catholic
were a credit to his religion and
openly protested the whole round of
faith, how would the evil of the world
be cowed! 1t is, perhaps, the little
things that tell most-grace properly

ton of the Holy Name; these are the
things that oddly enough most strike
those outside with the true Christian
fearfessness. Laymen should also be
keen on their religion and be able to
give a reasonable account of the faith
that is in them; but the strongest
argument of all is religious and
edifying life as a courageous Catholic.
We are responsible, then, if there is
a soul that we can help towards God,
which through out laziness is thrown
off from that direction to a lower
plane of life. OF us will God ask, as

THE SOLDIER AND HIS scAPULAR

Commenting upon the high soldier
ly qualities of Catholics on the Next
can border, prominent army officer
who recently left Sacramento, OBJ
serves that quite 80 per cent of the
linen serving with the National Guard
were Catholics. He points. to the
proof of this by their wearing scapu-
lars when called before the surgeons
for physical examination and, he adds,
large majority of these Catholic
soldiers we're later found among the
non-commissioned officers, being Sc
lected for superior ability in the
ranks. His remarks are Illuminating:
Although | am not a Catholic my
self" he says, Il was certainly inn
pressed and touched by seeing scores
of brawny, lusty young men appear
ing before the surgeons naked and
unashamed'-of their emblems of
faith, worn over their muscular chests.
The government issues little leaden
discs for purposes of Identification
killed Or wounded on the field, and
each soldier must wear one all the
time. But these men stood, with two
tags of identification, one being of his
sword and the other of his faith.
when these men came up for their
typhoid innoculation and physical ex-
animation / was a bit puzzled at first.
| asked one of the surgeons if the
little brown cotton tags we're some
new tag issued by the government.
Of course, should have known bet
ter, but the scapular and it's signifi-
canoe had escaped my mind. The
doctor happened to be a Catholic him
self, and he whispered an explana-
ton, adding he ought to be wearing
one himself, but had grown somewhat
careless about it.
And, as these men came and went,
wearing their scapulars over their
bare shoulders, it left me wondering
what power and latent force had such
"A faith that it gains and retains the
love and loyalty of strong, rough men
who come to spill their blood and
fight like wildcats for their country,
yet who carry the force of their faith
in their hearts to the last"
This worthy man of arms would
find his answer in the imperishable
Truth that has endured through the
flight of ages, to the wonderment of
other men in countless generations.
