EVILS OF HASTY MAR
RACES,

There is a setback 10 parental
authority and influences by the
hasty, foolish and improvident
marriage, with the result of ire
sponsible living, and a prenatal
influence on the child that later on
asserts itself in the life OF the
child" observed Archbishop John
]. Glcnnon in his October sermon
at the St. Louis Cathedral.
Many of our young people to-
day not only enter marriage with
no sense OF responsibility, but
their later years are equally ire
sponsible. They drift into mar
riage, and they continue drifting
with the result that they join the
grand army OF the homeless TN
til finally they drift apart.
1T stands to reason that the
children born to such people are
to be pitied. Now, parents may
drift for while without going on
the rocks, but not so with their
unfortunate child, whose fate is
sealed almost from the very begin
ming.
Some parents treat their chill
dren the way a certain patriot
treated his country, that is, they
love them, not wisely, but too
we'll. They regard their children
as treasures. They treat them as
they would dollhouse plants. They
eNpcnd upon them no intelligence,
but much emotion.
The result is the children soon
take advantage Of their doting pa
rents. They become more urgent
in their demands, more insistent
on their own will. which gradually
supplants the will of their parents.
parents should have a domi-
nant place in the school. 1t should
be a school wherein the teachers
OF the home shall be amplitied and
strengthened, wherein the quail
ity OF obedience, the meaning Of
sacrifice, the laws oil God, the
teachings OF faith shall be further
inculcatcd. In other words, the
Catholic school is the necessary
complement of the Catholic
home"

WHO ARE REAL CATHO-
Lies?

The Church suffers not a little
III the estimation Of many good
people for the lack of discrirnina-
ton between those who are and
those who are not Catholics. Who
are Catholics? is by no means a
supcrtiuous question. There are
many so-called Catholics who
have no real claim to the name.
No one is entitled to the name
'of Catholic unless he be practi-
cal Catholic. The Church is a liv-
ing organism. and she bcstows
Catholic life upon those only who
are in communion with her, and
her means OF conveying this life
arc the sacraments. These are
the only channels of her life,
which is grace.
Many a recreant enjoys the
name of Catholic, and his mis-
deeds are Immediately placed to
the account of the Church. This
is your Catlolic!" is remarked bv
lnhdcl and Protestant. But the
tact is that man is not a Catholic,
nor does he in any sense represent
Catholicity. He is no more Cath
Ole than the sneerer himself. 1t
is unfair and unjust to the
Church to class such a man Cath
Ole, and then attribute his fail
ings to the faith which he never
practices.-My Message.

SOULS IN PREDATORY.

The general intention of the
League of the Sacred Heart for
November, as recommended by
His Holiness, Pope Benedict NN.,
is THE Souls in Purgatory.'
All of us have friends among the
dear dead who are laid away in
Gods acre. At their death-beds
we were sad and i'll Our grief we
promised never to forget them.
We did not intend to be faithlcss
to these pledges, but have we kept
our word? Have we been true to
the promise that brought comfort
to their souls on the brink of eter-
nifty? How soon the memory OF
them began to grow dim after the
hrst few months of sorrow and
loneliness!
Every year Holy Church re-
minds us of these dear souls and
OF the countless others who have
no one to pray for them during
their time of suffering. This year
our Holy Father asks the men,
bers of the Apostleship to make
them the special object of our
prayers during this month. Our
Lord has placed in our hands the
power to help them. to release
them from their prison.
Faithful associates can gain in
dulgences all day long by the
practices OF the league. Apprc-
ciating the keen desire of the
Sacred Heart that these friends
of His should be assisted, they
will strive to satisfy it by gen
erous offering of all the means
placed by Christ at our disposal
in Holy Church. BY masses and
holy communions and fcrvent
prayers they will make expiation
for those who can no longer merit
or help themselves but must re-
main i'll the cleansing flames until
the last farthing is paid.

Mr.. Haines, at his apartment in
the Hotel Breslin, admitted his
connection with the order. He
volunteered the information that
within the next few days the
Executive Committee of "The
Pathfnders," which was appoint
ed at recent convention of the
order in Cleveland, would meet
in Washington to determine
whether Woodrow Wilson or
Charles L. Hughes would receive
their support.
He said that the committeeman
were drawn from the following
states: New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Florida, Michigan,
California, Minnesota, Massa-

ut is true" said Mr.. Ilaines,
that our organization is anti
Catholic.
THE origin OF the order was
Masonic, although it is in no way
affiliated with Masonry. All it's
moving spirits were Masons,
many of them high in the councils
of Masonry. 1t started here in
New York state, and some of it's
meetings were held in the Ma
sonic Temple. Later it met in
Newark, N. j., and then it
branched to Pennsylvania. Today
it has lodges practically in every
town in the United States, and
nothing can stop it from achieving

1T is our purpose to drive po-
litical Roman Catholicism out of
this country, as the Roman Catho-
lies themselves drove it out of
France and Portugal a few years
ago, and from Italy when the vail
ant Garbaldi led his immortal le-
gions on to Rome, and as Mexico
is doing now!"

lar excuse OF the bigots, that they
have nothing against Catholics,
but oppose the political activi-
ties of the Church. lie con-

ROMANCE OF THE CROSS

In all the history of Christian
ity, and the persecution and
martyrdom of the followers of
Christ, and the preservation of
the faith under supreme repres-
sion, nothing is more romantic or
dramatic than the discovery in the
heart of Japan OF thousands of
Christians who had kept the faith
secretly for three centuries in
the midst of idol worshippers who
hated Christianity with such
venom that the Christians would
have been cruci6ed or burned at
the stake had their secret become
known.
Some fifty years ago, after ia
pan had been thrown open to for
eigners and the safety of Christian
worship guaranteed, the order of
Jesuits built cathedral in Ma
gasaki. At that time it was not
supposed, either by the Japanese
government or by foreign mis-
sionaries, that there were any
Japanese Christians in that coun-
try; but on St. Patrick's Day,
March II, 1865. the day the new
cathedral was dedicated, a party
of fifteen Japanese asked for pri-
vate audience with Father Petit
jean. the priest, and, after he had
taken them into his residence and
locked the doors and corridors
they made known to him that
they, too, were Roman Catholics.
The good Father could not be-
lieve it at first. lie was more as
tonished when they told him there
were several thousand of Japanese
OF the same faith. The story in
brief, was this:
In 1540 St. Francis Xavier, a
Jesuit and personal friend of
Ignatius Loyola, founder of the
order of Jesuits, landed in Japan
with two companions and began
to preach Christianity under the
protection of Nobunaga, friend
ly feudal lord. Many converts
were made and a central cathedral
was built at Nagasaki. When No
bunga died he was succeeded by
a lord who hated Christians and
began their determination in what
is known in the annals OF the
Catholic Church as the great
martyrdom." Twenty-six native
priests were crucified in Maya
saki and died preaching and sing
ing. On another day twenty-seven
were beheaded and twenty-five
buried alive. In one year thirty
seven thousand Japanese Chris
tians were slain. 1t was supposed
then that the blood of the last
martyr had been shed, and the
work of the ''krishitan Baterens"
(Christian Padres) had been ex-
tinguished. The Emperor of ia
pan issued a proclamation. i'll
which he said:
while the sun warns the earth
let no Christian be so bold as. to
venture into Japan. Let this be
known to all men, though it be
the King OF Spain in person or
even the God OF the Christians
But in spite of all this perse-
cutlon and martvrdon a group OF
