THE BULWARK OF GOOD
CITIZENSHIP

Reports from every section of
the country indicate that the par
ish schools opened with increased
attendance. The encouraging
feature of the news is that the in
crease is not due so much to the
natural increase in the number of
Catholic children as to the fact
that fewer Catholic children are
attending the public schools.
There is no institution in the
church which is doing more for
God and country than is the pa
,rochial school. Even those who
do not agree with us in principle
or policy are beginning to recog-
nize that religion is component
part of education. Our position
in regard to the spiritual training
of children is commanding the at
tention of the sects and many of
them are establishing church
schools along the same lines as
the parish school. Even those
who insist most strongly on the
separation of Church and State
realize the necessity of moral in
struction of some character if we
would have our children develop
into good, useful citizens. The
Lutherans and Episcopalians have
long since established schools in
connection with their churches
and many Presbyterians are now
advocating the establishment of
denominational schools.
This is genuine tribute to the
value of the religious schools and
to the wisdom of the Church in
maintaining them at the sacrifice
it has cost. The parish school is
the cornerstone of the Church. It
trains the boy and girl in those
virtues which alone can fit them
for their life work. 1t makes
them good children of God. This
is the one desirable thing. 1t
teaches them that there is one
lesson of supreme importance in
this world-that to love and serve
God is first and above all the rea-
son of their existence. The
Church has not forgotten that it
pro6teth nothing if we gain the
whole world and lose our souls.
The parish school is no less the
sure foundation upon which good
citizenship can be built. The man
who does not know how to serve
God will not know how to serve
his country. That citizen is tru-
est to his flag who is most loyal
to God. With a Catholic patrio-
tism is not a sentiment. It is not
something to make the heart thrill
on independence Day when the
band plays and the ubiquitous
small boy makes the welkin ring
with the toy pistol and cannon
cracker. Patriotism means that
love of country which prompts a
strict observance of law and prop
er respect for civil authority. 1t
lis as much a matter Of conscience
as any other virtue and is not
based only on natural obligations.
The Catholic if he be true to the
principles taught him in his par
|ish school is the best type of
American.

A STRANGE MEMORIAL.

A STRANGE MEMORIAL.
Many of the citizens of Spring
field, ILL.,, have determined to
build a church as memorial to
Abraham Lincoln. The leader in
the movement is the pastor of the
Congregational church of that
city. In explaining the purpose
of a memorial the reverend gen.
tleman said that ''the Congrega-
tional church has constitution
so broad that men of all beliefs
can worship and receive instruc-
ton under it's roof" The church
is designed to be of service to the
common people regardless of sect
or creed. In explanation of his
broad and creedless Christianity
the pastor contends that all "dy-
manic theologies" are the same
and the noblest Christianity is the
great brotherhood of man. He
puts the brotherhood of man
above dogma and creed; not only
above all other virtues but with it
makes all else but useless in
cumbrance.
In our mind the noblest truth
is the Fatherhood of God. Did
not the Saviour say, 'He who will
not leave father or mother for Me
is not worthy of Me-? All the
dynamic theologies are not fun
damentally the same. The de-
nominations are divided by diff
ferences in creed which are essen
tial to their very existence. The
most perfect Christian is not the
one who has done the most for
humanity. 1t is he who has done
the most for God and whose work
for humanity has been prompted
and kept alive for love of God. 1t
is not possible even by miracle
to sweep away the divisions be-
tween the churches. You cannot
by any process sweep away any
thing revealed by God.
If church have no creed which
it believes to be of Divine origin,
if it have no dogma which it holds
to be revealed by God, it has no
right to claim the attention of
any thinking man. If a political
party were to announce it's candi-
dates and appeal for the suffrage
of the people without any princi-
pies or platform, it would get lit
tie consideration and no support.
The difficulty with SO many
preachers of today is that they see
nothing beyond the grave. Their
religion is purely natural. They
believe that the whole mission of
Christ was to heal the sick, feed
the hungry and raise the dead.
These things were only incidental
in the life of Christ. He came in
to the world to offer Himself as
a Victim and to preach a creed.
Gle that believeth and is bap-
tiled shall be saved" There is
too much of the brotherhood of
man in the modern concept of re-
ligion. Love your fellow man by
all means, but do not imagine it
will cover up the refusal to be-
lieve what God has revealed.
The Irish standard., 1916-09-30

tinually because they are our
badge of faith, and no doubt the
Mother of God looks with spe-
cial love and interest upon those
of her children who carry with
them the means of praying to her
at all times.
Many a man has been killed
suddenly and buried in a non
Catholic way, because there were
no evidences upon him of his
Catholicity. If a man carries his
beads and is killed or injured, the
Divine Mother will not allow him,
we may feel sure, to die without
receiving the consultations of re-
ligion. That, of course, is not a
matter of faith, or a positive as
surance, but there are many
things which events and circum-
stances show are true which we
are free to believe or disbelieve
as we see fit, and there is no doubt
that those who wear the scapulars
or carry beads are under the spe-
cial protection of the Almighty,
and the special care of His
Mother.
The beads, too, are a devotion
that can be very much more easily
employed as an aid to prayer
than prayer book. They take
up no room in the pocket, and
they are not likely to break or
tear. They can be said many
times when we have nothing else
to do. When travelling on train,
for instance, it is not necessary
to make an elaborate display of
them on such an occasion, but we
can put them in our pocket and
quietly recite the prayers and
make the meditation without our
neighbor on the same seat, if
there be one, knowing what we
are doing. 1t is a far more useful
way of passing the time than in
looking out of the window at the
scenery. ~"~ -
If possible, we should during
the month OF October at least, re-
cite the beads in family or with
two or three persons together. eff
two or three are gathered togeth-
er in my name I will be in the
midst of them," Our Divine Lord
tells lis, and we may be sure that
He is not far distant when the
pious Father or mother gathers
the children around and recites
with them the rosary. In many
churches there are recitations of
the rosary in the evening, and if
we can conveniently, we should
attend those services, not that we
cannot recite the rosary at home,
or even by ourselves, but of
course it is better to pray in the
presence of the Blessed Sacra-
ment when we can.
Let all then make up their
minds not to let a day of October
pass without reciting the rosary
and we assure them that they will
feel long before the month is out
the spiritual benefits of their de-
votion, and the temporal benefits
also no doubt. Let us not forget
in that connection the souls in
purgatory. Pray for them and
offer our rosaries and the many
indulgences that are attached to
the recitation of the beads for
those who have gone before and
whose pious prayers for lis in the
next world will no doubt be

and there are many old ruins in In

heaviest rains the water runs off the
ruins quickly. whereas a hole In the

python needs to eat only once q week,
and to get that meal it lies fiat along
the bough of tree near stream and
waits for its prey to come to drink.
When the natives see the Ions tran
that the python's body makes near the

they make hole in the ruined wall
just exactly big enough for the python
to get through, Then they tie a pig to
stake near the hole on one side OF
the wall, and on the other side of the
wall opposite the hole they tie another
pig to stake. They also tie wire
to the leg or the tail of the near side
pig, and as evening draws on they
twist it from q distance, and the pig
squeals. AS the python comes home
to bed it hears the squeals.
So the python comes along mcrrily
