AN TENTED STATEMENT OF
THE FULL CATHOLIC TEACH
ING.

Catholics believe in the Trinity, in
other words, that God exists in three
divine Persons; they believe in the
Incarnation of the Son of God, and
hence in the Divinity of Christ. They
accept the whole Bible, from cover to
cover as containing Gods revealed
word. They believe that Holy Scrip
lures ceases to be Gods word when
wrongly interpreted They believe in
Original Sin; they believe that Christ
instituted Baptism to remove Original
Sin and to impart new birth, or
supernatural life to the soul; and that
He instituted six other sacraments to
sustain and strengthen the spiritual
life or to restore it when lost through
sin. They believe that Christ en-
powered His Apostles and their sue
cessors, through another sacrament,
to remove sins committed by people
after their baptism; they believe that
Christ gave His real Flesh and Blood
to His Apostles at the Last Supper,
and that He empowered them and
their successors to communicate Him
to His followers. They believe in the
Immortality of the soul, place of
eternal reward and another place of
eternal punishment. They believe
that just as there is place of imme-
diate eternal reward for the very
good, and place of eternal punish
ment for the very wicked, so also is
there an intermediate state of tempo
rary publication for those who can
not be classed with either of these
two extremes. They believe that the
dead in this intermediate place,
which they call Purgatory, may be
assisted by the prayers and good
works of the faithful on earth. They
believe that the Saints can help us
by their interceSsiOn, not as mediators
in the sense that Christ is mediator
of redemption, but as you and | are
mediators before God when we pray
for each other. They believe in a
general judgment at the end of the
world, in the resurrection of the dead,
and in eternal life.
Now, assuming only the same privi-
lege which the Protestant demands
for himself, namely that of private in
depreciation, we find the Bible to sup
port this whole creed; but in addition,
we have the extra backing of the
whole Christian world for fifteen
hundred years and of three-fourths of
all Christians today.

DURATION OF PURGATORY.

Purgatory, whether it be place or
| only state, ends with the general judg-
ment Our Lord Himself tells us that
all mankind will be divided then to
| His right hand and to His left; that
all will receive one or other of the
| two sentences which He will then pro-
nounce, and that the sentences will at
once be put into execution. And so
| st. Augustine says NO Christian
| may believe that any Purgatorial pun
ishment will extend beyond that last
and awful Judgment
| But what of each ones purgatory?
| How long are souls to be detained in
purgatory before they may enter
heaven? We can answer nothing
| only that ones pugatory will be ap-
pointed to him in judgment accord
| ing to the number and malice of his
unforgiVen venial sins; according to
| the satisfaction in which he is indebt-
ed to Gods justice for forgiven sins;
| according to the dispositions in which
| he is; and, not improbably, according
| to the degree of holiness in which he
| died. But what the proportion is be-
| tween these considerations and the
| duration and intensity of his purga-
| tory, we have no means of knowing
| Nor can we form even probable con
| lecture as to how far the sentence
| may be modified in it's execution by
| the souls own efforts, and by the in
| tercession of others in heaven, on
| earth and in purgatory itself. For,
| though such efforts and such interces-
sion are, through Gods great mercy
and the divine promises, of singular
value and efficacy, yet we have no
assurance that, in any individual case,
| they will be wholly or even partially
successful. We know nothing of the
measure in which God accepts them.
| And hence the Church encourages
| long continued suffrages, and makes
| anniversary commemorations and
| binds herself in perpetuity to Masses
for the dead. She teaches nothing,
she herself has been told nothing con
| corning the length of a souls impris-
| onment in pur2atory.

THE LATE CONFER.
Exchange.

Perhaps one of the most unseemly
and annoying spectacles in church is
that of the late-comer clamberinS over
others in getting in and out of a pew
| have seen four people settled in one
of our church pews which holds five.
When the fifth comes along, instead
of moving in and letting her take the
outside seat, they all rise and bunch
themselves against the seat and com.
pei the newcomer to climb in on the
kneeling bench across them to the
very inside seat In any case, the
effect is awkward in the extreme, but
when the last conner is a large, heavy
woman, it is atrocious.
Then comes a similar performance
at Communion time The person oc
cupying the last seat in the pew may
be the only communicate. 1t is bad
enough to make her climb out over
all the rest to approach the altar, but
reverence for the Sacred Presence
should prevent the other occupiers OF
the pew from compelling her to get
back the same way
1t seems to be an unwritten law
among us that when there are men
and women in the same pew the men
should occupy the outside seats.
If woman comes after the pew is
fairly well filled, it is easy for the man
occupying the very outside place tC
- i'll IL, toJ-
the next place to him, but it is not
necessary for the two or three men
who may be in the pew to do SO, just
to give her the farther end.
But if woman chance to have the
outside place or to be alone in the
pew, she simply moves in for each
newcomer till the pew is filled.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. TURIRIus. BISHOP.

Born of noble Spanish family,
Turibius was advanced by Philip II,
to the high judicial post of President
of Granada. This Office he dis
charged for five years with such
prudence and virtue, that when the
archbishopric of Lima fell vacant he
was adjudged to be of all others the
best qualified to evangelize Peru and
remedy the scandals which obstruct-
ed the conversion of the infidels.
Obedience and zeal for souls over
came his repugnance to the dignity,
and in 1881, he sailed for his distant
diocese. His jurisdiction extended
along a coast-line of four hundred
miles, embracing populous cities and
rough mountain districts. The native
population was infamous for its de-
hatchery; the Spaniards for their
cruelty, avarice, and fraud. Turibius
on his arrival, began visitation of
the whole country, which occupied
him for seven years; he travelled
often on foot, over the SHOWS of the
Andes and the scorching sands of the
coast to the most remote villages

NEGOTIATIONS FOR LENT.

The days from Ash Wednesday to
Easter Sunday should be days of prac-
tical Christian meditation on the sub
ject of Christs passion and its appli-
cation to our daily lives. Spare, oh
Lord. Spare Thy people, is the spir-
it of the Church's prayers during all
these forty days. How appropriately
the Church insists on it's children de-
voting these days of Lent to prayer
and meditation and to preparedness
for the Sacramento of Penance and
Holy Communion. Catholic people
must not allow themselves to be dis
tracted during these days by such
vulgar amusements or stage exhibit
lions as will lower their moral tone.
To the Catholic, Lent is season of
comparative retirement from the or
binary cares of the world. Catholics
should live during these days in the
presence of God in a very special
sense.
Catholic men and women are sup
posed to be examples of the spiritual
life for their n-Catholic neighbors,
and by spending Lent in the true
Catholic spirit they will preach to
their neighbors SO powerfully that
even the least kindly amongst non
Catholics will admit that the Catholic
faith is the best hope for home and
society and the surest pledge of legiti-
mate progress.

WEARING OF Boards BY CLERGY.

Very few priests of the Latin rite
especially European and American
priests-wear boards and moustaches.
The Capuchins, an independent branch
of the Franciscan Order, and some
contemplative monks are directed by
their rules to grow boards as a mark
of austerity and penance. The Bene-
dictines also wear boards, although
numerous individual Benedictines are
clean shaver. Individual priests who
desire to wear boards for medical or
other reasons, must obtain the per-
mission of their Bishop or religious
superior.
Throughout the history of the
Church there have been bearded and
unbearded Popes, Bishops and priests.
The Apostles are for the most part
represented as bearded, though not
uniformly So The Jews, and most
eastern people, cherished the beard
as a sign of manhood, and looked upon
a smooth face as q mark of effeminacy
or lack of virility.
Many Popes wore boards in the six
teenth century, and some were long
and flowing. In 1876 st. Charles
sought to bring back the clergy to the
ancient practice and addressed a pas
toral letter to them "On the Shaving
of the Beard It was not, however,
until the end of the seventeenth cen
fury that the clergy returned to the
earlier usage. In 1865 the Holy See
rebubed the Bavarian clergy for an at
tempt to introduce the wearing of
boards.

churches, seminaries, hospitals,
sprang up on his steps. Even on his
journeys he said Mass and confessed
daily, though he had never lost his
baptismal innocence. He organized
and reformed the diocese of Peru,
establishing synods, and using his
authority to correct abuses among
clergy and laity alike. He was espe-
cially Jealous in behalf of the Indians,
and protected them from the tyranny
of their conquerors. He died March
%, 1906.
When st. Turibius received the
news of his appointment to the epis-
copate he cast himself on the ground,
and prayed, with many tears, that
God would deliver him from so heavy
burden; it was not till the miser-
able condition of the native Indians
was represented to him that he
agreed to accept the office, in order
to help them in their troubles. Then
only at the call of charity did he con-
sent to take upon himself the unwel-
come honor. His sacrifice was re-
warded by a most blessed DEATH He
ordered psalms of praise to be sung
round him as he lay in his agony,
and with calm and holy joy gave
back his soul to God.
