Rome. They surely cannot forget the
existence of this Church or her mag
nitude. To suppose this, would be to
attribute to them too insular, or rather
too provincial, an ignorance. The
| cause, however, certainly is ignorance,
md an ignorance which though less
surprising, is far deeper. In this
| country the popular conception of
Rome has been SO distorted by our
familiarity with Professionalism, that
the true conception of her is some
thing quite strange to us. Our divines
have exhibited her to us as though
she were a lapsed Protestant sect,
| and they have attacked her for being
false to doctrines that were never
really hers. They have failed to see
that the first and essential difference
| which separates her from them lies,
primarily, not in any special dogma,
| but in the authority on which all her
| dogmas rest. The Church's primary
| doctrine is her own perpetual infalli-
bility. She is inspired, she declares,
by the same spirit that inspired the
| DIO1C, dllu uSI -NOl(S S4udlly Will
the Bible, the voice of God.
Her doctrines, as she one by one
unfolds them, emerge upon us like
the petals of a half-closed bud. They
are not added arbitrarily without, but
are developed from within. When she
formulates in these days something
that has not been formulated before
she is no more enunciating a new
truth than was Newton when he
enunciated the theory of gravitation.
Whatever truths, Hitherto hidden, she
may in the course of time grow con-
scious of, she holds that these are al
| ways implied in her teaching.
But the picture of the Church thus
far is only half drawn. She is all
this, but she is something more than
this. She is not only the parliament
of spiritual man, but she is such a
parliament guided by the spirit of
God. The work of that Spirit may be
| secret, and to the natural eye untrace-
able, as the work of the human will in
the human brain. But none the less
| it is there.
eff we would obtain true view of
Catholicism, we must begin by max
ing clean sweep of all the views that
as outsiders, we have been taught to
entertain about her. We must, in the
first place, learn to conceive her as
living, spiritual body, as infallible,
and as authoritative now as she ever
was, with her eyes undimmed and her
strength not abated, continuing to
grow still as she has continued to
grow hitherto; and the growth Of the
new dogmas that she may from time
to time enunciate, we must learn to
see are, from her standpoint, signs of
life and not signs of corruption. And
further, when we come to look into
her more closely, we must separate
carefully the diverse elements we
find in her-her discipline, her pious
opinions, her theology and her re
| ligion.
Let honest inquirers do this to the
best of their power; and their views
will undergo an unlooked-for change

NECESSITY OF AN INFALLIBLE
GUIDE.
(6y w. n. MaIIock, in as Life Worth
Living?"

THE characteristic | speak of is an
absolute infallibility. Any supernat-
ural religion that renounces it's claims
to this, it is clear, can profess to be
semi-revelation only. 1t is a hybrid
thing, clearly natural and partly super
natural, and it thus practically has all
the qualities of a religion that is
wholly natural In so far as it pro-
fesses to be revealed, it of course pro-
fesses to be infallible, but if the re-
vealed part be in the first place hard
to distinguish, and in the second
place hard to underestimate it may
mean many things, and many of those
contradictory-it might just as we'll
have never been made at all. To make
it in any sense an infallible revela-
ton or in other words revelation at
all, to us, we need a power to inter
pref the testament that shall have
equal authority with that testament it.

ing it. Indeed, it is only in the pres
ent day that it's practical meaning has
come generally to be recognized. But
now at this moment, upon all sides of
us, history is teaching it to us by an
example, so clearly that we can no
longer mistake it.
THAT example is Protestant Chris.
tianity, and the condition to which,
after three centuries, it is now visibly
bringing itself. 1t is at last beginning
to exhibit to us the true results of the
denial of infallibility to religion that
processes to be supernatural. 1t is
fast eVaporating into a more mutual
theism, and is thus showing us what
as a governing power, natural theism
is. Religion, it is true, we shall find
in it; but it is religion from which
not only the supernatural element is
fast becoming nebulous; it is indeed
growing, as Mr.. Leslie Stephen says
1t is, into religion of dreams. All
it's doctrines are growing vague as
dreams, and like dreams their out
lines are forever changing. There is
hardly any conceivable alteration oil
moral license that has not, in some
quarter or other, embodied itself into
rule of life, and claimed to be the

ison of views as to the terms which
must precee those ultimate arrange
ments' for the peace of the world
which all desire and in which the
neutral nations as well as those at
war are ready to play their full re-
sponsible part. If the contest must
continue to proceed towards unde-
fined ends by slow attrition until the
one group of belligerepts or the other
is exhausted, if million after million
of human lives must continue to be
offered up until on one side or the
other there are no more to offer, it
presentments must be kindled that

"The life Of the entire world has
been profoundly affected. Every part
of the great family of mankind has
felt Tie brden and terror of this
nprecendented contest of arms. No

said in truth to stand outside its in

crete objects, for which It is being
waged have never been definitely
stated.
"The leaders of the several belig-
erents have, as have been said, stat
ed those objects in general terms.
But stated in general terms they seem
the same on both sides. Never yet
have the. authoritative spokesman
of either side avowed the precise
objects which would, If attained, sat

war had been fought out. The world
has been left to conjecture what de-
finite results, what actual exchange
Of guarantees, what political or ter
ritorial changes or readjustments,
what stage of military success ever
would bring the war to an end.
'It may be that peace is nearer

that he was elected as the represen-

himself a large land owner.

ing for Early Avowal of
Their Peace Views.
E Washington, Dec. 23.-President
Wilson has appealed to all the bellg-
erents to discuss terms OF peace.
s Without actually proposing peace
or Offering mediation. the Presldent
has sent formal notes to the govern
.ments of all the warning nations sug-
oesting that "an early occasion be
sought to call out from the nations
now at war such an avoWai OF 1nelr
respective views as to- the terms up,
On which the war might be concluded
and the arrangements which would

AGAINST its renewal or the kindllng
of any similar conflict in the future,
z as would make it possible frankly to
compare them"
Wholly without notice and entirely
Z contrary to what administrator ON
cials have described as his course the
President last night dispatched notes
to all the belligerents and to all the
,neutrals for their information. Sum-
married in the Presidents own words
sas contained in the notes, his attl-
tude is as follows: +.

he is not even offering -. mediation.
He is merely proposing that sound

the war must first be concluded. The

ADVOCATE OF LOVE PHILOSOPHY DID NOT
TRY TO SOLVE ECONOMIC PROBLEM


BY JANE WHITAKER
Out on the highways and byways
woman wandered, hoping to teach
big truth that had nothing to do
with external things, but with eter-
nal internal things, and as happens
always with teachers of advanced
truth, she met misunderstanding and
ridicUIe.
It came about in a very simple
way. A committee of club women
investigating restaurant conditions
were invited by the far-seeing man
agement of a department store to
visit the lUnchrOom they had opened
for the benefit society of employees.
The woman, who is connected in
some way OF other with almost
every big woman movement, was in
vited to be the guest of one of the
women on that committee, and with
them to the restaurant went a wOm-
an reporter looking for material for
her paper.
The woman ate lightly and huT-
Tiedly, for she had another engage
ment, and, asked how she liked the
food, of which she had consumed 6
cents worth, she replied, uncOn-
sciously, that it was very delicious,
but what she was consciously con-
sidering was not the food, but that
the men and women, boys and girls
eating together in the restaurant
were laughing and happy, and she
is an exponent of happiness.
The reporter wrote the story. It
was a good one for her paper-soci-
ETY. women satisfied with a few cents
worth of working girls food - and
because Of that story the woman,
who is Mrs. L. Bracket Bishop, re-
ceived a letter written in lonely de-
preston by a working woman who
was sick over the limitations of her
life and the letter challenged Mrs.
DiCbOr +O 1.-Two fOy. met C,,o rrvooIv ~,

read the letter. Alone, she visualized
the anguish of the writer-the I'M
naturalness Of her lonely and love-
less life, and then she thought:
Even so, believe my philosophy
would not fail me. Even under such
circumstances l believe that by low
ing every one and trying to serve as
far as 1 could, those about me, I
could be happy despite the limita-
lions. 1t is unnatural; a woman
should be in her home, loved and low
ing and the hardship would not ex-
list, for love would make happiness,
but perhaps if 1 try this experiment
l can show that happiness lies in love
and service to others and not in
what one puts in the stomach"
With tears often dimming her
eyes she told me yesterday what had
been her thought Much of it I could
suTmise, for hers is a life of service
and l have known of quite a few
girls who owe their chance to the
fact that Mrs. Bishop helped them
to help themselves. She has always
invited to her not the successful, for
they are sufficient to themselves, but
the unsuccessful who need her, as
the sick need her as a physician.
81 had no thought of touching the
economic problem" she said. 'T was
not attempting to teach girls that
they should live on 81 a week, nor
on twice that amount. The thing l
wanted to teach was as much for the
employer as for the workers. When
employers are educated to the reaH-
cation of their eternal potentialities
there will be no economic problem to
solve, for their love of their fellow
man will not permit them to grind
down the wages of workers.
eff we could just start with the
children in the school to teach them
the wonder of being people. We
