LVI. Monism.

Objection: Science strives after
the greatest possible simplicity, in its
explanation of nature, after the SIM
/, plest, possible world-conception, that
is, Monism. The dualism between
God and the world, body and soul,
spirit and matter, must be abolished.
1.-THE Creator must, without further
ado, be turned out of DOORS" says
Karl Vogt Ct 1880 If one is not sat
isfied with the material monism of
Feuerbach (+1S72), Vogt & 1889,
Moleschott Ct 1899, Buechner Ct 1899,
Darwin Ct 1892, Haeckel, ETC., let him
choose the idealistic monism and pan
theism of Spinoza & 1870, Fichte
Ct 1910. Schelling Ct 1854, Hegel
G1S3D, Schopenhauer & 1860, Won
Hartmann & 1906) etc. On. B. Ma
terialistic monism admits only matter
and denies everything spiritual; ideal
istic monism denies the existence of
matter and admits only mind or spirit.
Monos is Greek and means one, alone,
unique: monism, therefore, admits
only one kind of substance or being)
Answer: Science does not strive
as matter of course after monism
nor dualism, but after truth. If dual
ism (theism-belief in God is true,
we can not do anything against it,
come what may, the nicely adorned
hobby-horse monism must be left in
the nursery, if one wants to ride in
reality and not only in imagination.
What is there so terrible about this
dualism (belief in the spiritual and
materiaD? You must be thinking Of
the great political difficulties of Trans
baikalia or of Tibet. But be without
fear. In this dualistic world-view we
have the grandest and most powerful
monarchy of God and the most splen
did order and subordination in his
realm. There arises a united world
view, which can not be imagined more
majestic: God is the alpha and
omega, the first cause and last end of
all beings.
But the secret charm Of monism is
simply this: Away with God; | am
it alone. l and the world are one"
whether in a materialistic or idealistic
sense is immaterial, according to
David Strauss Ct 1870 [Alter und
neuer Claude, Gold and new belief, p.
212l, it is only quarrel about words,
if only the Creator (and judge is
abolished.
If man is bothered by somebody.
he cries: Let me alone!-Almighty
God, let me alone!" is practical mon
ism.

SAVED BY THE BLESSED VIRGIN.

The historian Baronius relates that
in the year 998, Robert, the King of
France, at the head of large army,
laid siege to the Castle of German,
not far from Anjou. The besieged
made a valiant defense, and succeed
ed in harassing the enemy so much
that on the sixth day of the siege the
King, eXasperated at their resistance,
resolved to take the fortress by storm.
On hearing this, the garrison were
sadly cast down; in their distress
they appealed for help and counsel to
pious Benedictine monk. He eX-
horted them to put their trust in the
Blessed Virgin and to hear Mass
in her honor. This Mass be himself
offered at Our Lady's altar in the prin-
cipal church, all the people devoutly
assisting.

money as this paper weighs Full
OF JOY, she at once obeyed, and pre-
sented the note to the aforesaid gen

but after putting the paper in one side
OF the scales, and finding it weighed
two hundred Silver crowns, remember
ed a promise he had made the year
before to give the above-named sum
OF money, as marriage portion, to a
poor girl, he at once handed the sum
over to her, thus saving her from dis
honor.

MARRIAGE PORTION.

In 1649, st. Anthony did great
act of kindness to a poor girl.
The mother, pressed by extreme
poverty, wanted to sell her beautiful
daughter for money. The unhappy
girl, in her anguish, went and knelt
before the picture of-St Anthony, in
the Franciscan Church, imploring him,
weeping bitterly to save her honor.
In the midst of her prayer, the saint
stretched out his hand and handing a
note to her, said:

A QUAINT PRAYER.

Rev. William Hughes writes in the
bright and interesting Indian Senti-
nel," the new monthly devoted to the
Indian missions:
Saint Anthony, thou blest!
Just three things l request:
Salvation, money, too,
And a husband ever true.
The story is told, and l have it from
one of the natural historians of the
missions, an old native, that at the
mission of San Antonio there was once
a pious Indian maid by the name of
Loretto, who was observed to spend
much time in church, especially be-
fore the altar of st. Anthony, the pa
iron of the mission and the favorite of
eligible madens. An old Indian asked
her:
why do you spend so much time
in church,"
Praying" she replied.
But what prayers do you say to
busy you so long?"
Blushing, she replied, Just one"
And the prayer?"
This" she said:
San Antonio bendito!
Tres cosas tie pido:
Salvation y dinero
Y un buen marido."
Truly, remarks the Newark ''Moni-
tor" we must admire the powers of
combination of the Indian maid. Her
prayer is as quaint as it is all-embrac-
ing.

Proper View o: Life.

Why is it, / wonder, that the little
boy almost always imagines that out
side of home is to be found the larger
liberty? Why do young men fondly
dream that yonder, always yonder, is
to be found business opportunity?
Why does the dissolute man conclude
that, outside the common virtues Of
society, he is to find the larger life?
For you, my son, will sometime find
that your largest liberty was in the
old home, where, if there was author
ity, there was also deep and abiding
love; and you, my friend, will find
that others succeeded in your home
town, while you failed in the world;
and you, my liberty-loving man, will
most surely realize, that in the COM
mon virtues Of the simply good life
is to be found what you seek in the
by-paths of the world. Find the wealth
that lies everywhere about you. Prac-
tice the virtues that you know. Cher
ish the love that is yours now. Value
the friends that you have known; and
in the superficial you will find the
profound, and in the simple things
the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle-

SUBMARINE WARNS
| Dutch STEAMSHIP
TO TURN BACK"
Ryndam of Holland -Ameri-
can Line Puts Back to
N. Y. Post in Haste.

New York, Feb S.-The Holland
American steamship Ryndam, which
sailed from here for Rotterdam Janu-
airy 20 with the American consular
agent at Luxembourg and nearly 10C
other cabin passengers, and which
was reported last night as returning
to this port, was warned by Ger
man submarine to turn back when
she was about to enter the war
zone" according to unofficial advices
received here today.
The news came in wireless mes
sage from a passenger on the vessel
to a friend here. The Ryndam was
enroute to Rotterdam via Falmouth
and was within IA hours sailing OF
the latter port when she put back fol
American waters.
At the office of the line it was
stated that no message from the YES
sci had been received except cable
message from the offices of the line
at Rotterdam, announcing that she
had turned back. The message con-
veyed the impression that the master
of the ship had taken the action or
his own initiative and SO advised his
owners by wireless. This action by
the captain was clearly within his
rights, as full responsibility for The
safety of the ship and passengers de-
wolves upon him while at sea.

His Bright Idea.

When the European war was in it's
infancy Changers back" found them
selves continually taken to task. A
grocer's clerk, calling for the usual Or
der, was scornfully asked why he was
not answering his country's call.
Thinking he could see good customer
slipping away, an excuse was desper-
ately urgent. Fortunately an incoming
customer relieved the position, and a
happy idea came his way: Madam -
he replied, perhaps if told you I've
not all my toes on one foot you would
scarcely believe it," This aroused the
sympathy of the woman, whereupon he
got an increased order. Upon telling
her husband of the young mans mis-
fortune he coolly asked: "Well, have
you?" The feelings of the good lady
can be better imagined than described.

Evolution and Immortality.

There is an element in evolution
which epdears it to me and to every
man; think it throws bright CLEANS
on the question Of Immortality. I see
that the unfolding series In this world
are all the time from lower to high
er, that the 1dea is not reached at any
point, that the leaf works toward the
bud, and the bud toward the blossom,
and the blossom toward the tree, and
that in the whole experience Of hui
man nature, and in the whole economy
of the providence of God in regard to
the physical world. everything is on
the march upward and onward. And
one thing is very certain, that neither
in the individual nor in the collective
mass has the intimation of God in the
human conscience verified and fulfilled
itself. The imperfection shows that
we are not much further than the bud {;
somewhere we have right to pre-.
science Of the blossom.-Henry Ward

Rich Man Knows Not What He Wants
The Woman's Home Companion has
an article in which this passage &C.
ours: "The nuisance for the man who
has acquired great financial resources
usually is that he doesn't know what
he wants. Possessing the resources
and feeling the moral necessity to
have recourse to them, he looks about
for something to want, and he selects
the most costly thing. The acquisi-
ton of this most costly thing always
involves, in practice, the separation
of the rich man from society. Thus,
he will acquire large estate, or sew
eral large estates, and cut himself off
from the world by gates, doors, miles
Of drive, lodgekeepers, menials and
secretaries. Or he will acquire g.
OOO-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic
privately, though less quickly, less
comfortably and even less privately
than on great liner. Or he will keep
private orchestra, instead of being
seen at concerts. All which, though
magnificent, is antisocial and Silly, and
Is secretly felt to be so by the rich
man when he happens to wake up in
the middle of the night and can't go
to sleep again."

White of an EGG.

The white of an egg is made up OF
little cells filled with albumen. By
beating the white these cells are rup-
tured and oxygen from the air is in
closed, which gives the white and light
appearance of beaten eggs. The white
of a stale egg will not inclose as much
oxygen, will not be as light ana as
easily digested as that of the fresh egg
and is, of course. less valuable. The

to do their spring training in this city
for the five years beginning last
year." said Secretary E. B. Bloom Of

merce may take legal steps to compel
the Milwaukee club to carry out it's
contract, although this matter has not

The action of Mr.. Timme in chang

in which he expressed his delight and
pleasure at having trained here last
season, the climate being particular
1y desirable one, as he stated spe-

honor at the Hotel Pines.

the past two or three weeks, none of
which has brought a reply or even an

"The COnQueror," which comes to

in California, Texas and Mexico. It
was six months in the making. On
the production Mr.. Fox spent $780,
900. In the making of the picture
5000 people were employed. Among
these were 450 Sioux Indians secured
through the Department Of the In
terror from the Pine Ridge Agency
and for whose safe return at the
end of their artistic labors a bond
of $4,000 was deposited. And
among the 5000 also were Mexican
soldiers, negroes from Southern plan
tations, Texas rangers and U. s. cav
alrymen. Weeks were spent on the
big battle scenes, thousands of dol
lars worth of ammunition went up
in smoke, and, as a result the battle
scenes in "The Conqueror" are
reality itself; 1000 horses appear
in the picture and numerous other
animals, among which is a dog that
figures prominently in the action.
