BETWEEN GREEK
CHURCH AND CATHOLIC
CHURCH.

In using the term Greek Church
one must distinguish carefully. Or
dinarily it means all those churches
using the Byzantine rite whether
separated from Rome or in COM
munion with the Holy Father. This
includes Slavs, Roumanians and
others. as well as Greeks But it is
not an accurate expression as there
is no Greek rite but only the Byzan-
tine which is used in common by
many races. AS we take it the uues-
ton refers to the Orthodox Greek
Church, which includes all those
churches separated from Rome and
using the Byzantine srite. They claim
to have the doctrine of the primitive
Christian Church. We call it the
Orthodox Church which is a fiction
inasmuch as they are heterodoX. The
principal doctrinal difference con-
sists in their rejection of Papal In
ma of the Immaculate Conception,
and that of Purgatory. The Ortho-
doX Greek Church is sometimes
called the Schismatic Greek Church.
1t would be impossible to go into a
history of the many attempts, some
successful for a time, at a reunion
with the Greeks since their first
schism in the latter part of the ninth
century. The last breach with Rome
in the eleventh century has never
been repaired. Several Popes have
used every means to bring them back
to Christian unity. They have tried
pacification and when necessary
theological controversy. Many times
Greek patriarchs and bishops have
professed the Catholic faith. But it
is hard to believe they were genuine
ly converted. But we know that in
the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles they gave evidence of good
will to Catholic missions. They per-
mitted priests of the Catholic Church
to hear confessions and say, Mass in
their churches. And we find that
many Jesuits and Capuchins made
use of the permission. Today the
rules about communicating in sacred
things with heretics have been made
quite severe, by Propaganda and the
missionaries are observing the rules
most rigidly. &

ENEMIES OF THE CAUSE.

During the siege of Ladysmith in
the BOer War a civilian was arrested,
tried by court-martial and sentenced
to a years Imprisonment for being
"discOurager.' The man would go
along the picket lines, saying dis
heartening words to the men on duty.
He struck no blows for the enemy,
but he was a discourager. 1t was a
critical time. The fortunes of the
town and it's garrison were trembling
in the balance. Instead Of encourag
ing the men on whom the defence de-
pended, he put faintness into their
hearts, and made them less hopeful
and less courageous. The court
martial adjudged it a crime to speak
disheartening words at such a crisis.
The same thing is true of the Chris
tan army. 1t is always time of
war. The Church is always being at
tackled by it's enemies; yet there are
men and women who are continually
doing what this man did. They do
not deny their religion, but they
never defend it. They put a damper
on everything by their GOODNESS and
Indifference. They are always quick
to find fault, never ready to give
service They are silent on the sub
iect of their faith, no matter how in
cumbent upon them it may be to give
a reason for it. We are all soldiers
of Christ; and unless we are bravely
confessing Him, we are discouragers,
and injuring His cause.

as you understand it, be done. That

as you understand it, be done. That

Blessed Henry Suso fulfilled day and
night with tender conscientiousness
the will of his heavenly Father. He
found it easy to keep the command
ments of God, even in the smallest
matters. Hence he used to say often:
God does not require us to abound
in knowledge of heavenly things; but
He desires us to do His will in all
things, and to subject ourselves to
that divine will" .ss.....-s.. ......'.
Every time that st. Catherine of
Siena said the Our Father she laid
special stress on the words: THY
will be done on earth as it is in heay-
en-" Not unfrequently she would in
quire of herself: How do | stand?
Is Gods will always obeyed by me?"
By such and other questions she &C
quired new courage to obey the will
of God
One day st. Stephana in spirit saw
herself placed in heaven, where she
saw mingling among the. seraphim
many deceased persons whom she had
formerly known on earth, and heard
a voice assuring her that the souls
had attained that high decree of glory
because when on earth they had not
only prayed Thy will be done," but
because they had truly made it their
rule ever to do the will of the Lord.
1t was most pleasing and sacred
task to that devout servant of God,
Louis of Granada, to do Gods will,
and he prayed increasingly to that eff
feet. only this one thing, o Lord, y
he used to say, ''only this one thing
do | seek-that Thy holy will be done
perfectly, that l be all Thine, and ever
give myself to Thy holy service. l
will ask nothing contrary to Thy will !;
| will do nothing against that will,
even to please friends and &C
quaintances or crafty flesh and blood.
Thy holy will is my only joy, and the
delight and consolation of my soul"

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. MARK, HERMIT.

Mark was forty years of age when
he turned his back upon men and en-
tered the desert of Scete. He scarce
ly ever left his cell, but stroye by
prayer, fast, and solitude to redeem
the time he had lost. He succeeded
in committing to memory all the
Sacred Scriptures, and the writings
which he composed breathe the wis
dom and JUNCTION of the Holy Spirit.
He was to all most gentle and kind;
and when God put the seal of mira
cles upon his sanctity, not men only.
but the most savage beasts of the
desert had recourse to his charity.
A hyena once brought him her blind
whelp, and with many pitiful ges.
lures begged his healing aid. Mark
opened the eyes of the poor beast,
and the next day the dam in graft
tude laid the skin of ram at his
feet. By degrees Mark put to death
every human passion, and attained
to perfect purity OF heart; but in his
own eyes he was ever vile and
worthless sinner. He was once
heard to upbraid himself as hoary
old glutton for having, when broken
down by age and austerities, tasted
wine and oil. He was most devout
to the Blessed Sacrament, and his
abbot, St Macarius, deposed that
whenever he presented the Sacred
Host to him in Communion an angels
hand appeared, which inyisibly gave
him the heavenly food. Mark was
short in stature, and almost bald, but
a radiant light constantly encircled
his head He died A. d. 400.
In the same desert with ST. Mark
there lived for a while a priest,
whose face was half consumed by a
cancer. He had committed a grave
offence of unchaStity, and having said
Mass in q state Of mortal sin, the
punishment followed. st. Macarius
would not speak to him till he had
confessed. Then when the priest
had accepted his disease as Justly in
1icted by God, and had promised
never again to say Mass, but to com
municate henceforth as layman,
MacariuS laid his hands on the hide
GUS sore. The wounds gradually
healed, the hair grew anew, and the
priest went to his home a sound man,
glorifying God and giving thanks to
the Saint.

the, position taken by the Church.
The meaning is that there must be
only one head to the family. What
a good woman wants is generally
what God wants. The only reason
why the women do not get the vote
is because so many of them do not
want it. They must be educated up
to it. Where they want it, out West,
they get it.
"The policy Of the Church in regard
to the education of women may most
readily be exemplified at places in the
worlds history where she has con-
verified a whole nation and is enabled
to work out her own ideas. Con-
slider the case of Ireland, country
where there were so pagans left
What did woman do there? Is not
st. Brigid honored as SECOND only to
st. Patrick? Ireland became the
schoolhouse of the world, so much so
that any European, at that time, at
least north of the Danube, who could
read or speak the Greek language,
had been taught by an Irishman or
by one whom an Irishman had taught.
OF the work done in st. Brigid S
school in Kildare, we hear from Ger
aid, the Welshman, who travelled
throughout the continent for many
years before coming to Ireland, and
who says that at Kildare he saw the
most beautiful book in the world
We have also preserved for us to this
day in the Dublin Museum a transla-
ton of the Scriptures, probably made
at Kildare, which has not yet peer
as regards beauty of decoration. AT
st. Brigid's school women were
taught to make lace, and to this
school we owe our beautiful Irish
lace of today. The position of the
Church is sufficiently set forth if
say that the Blessed Virgin is second
only to the Divine Son Himself in the
ranks of the Church, and st. Teresa
who was largely instrumental in saw
ing Spain to the Church at the time
of the Inquisition, has place of hon
or among the statues of the Fathers
of the Church in Rome"

THE CHURCH AND WOMAN.

ignorance today consists not in
the lack of knowledge, but in the
knowing of too many things that are
not true" said DR.. James J. Walsh in
a recent lecture in Brooklyn. Among
the prevalent false notions we find
that which says: This is the first
time in the history of the world that
women have been able to procure an
education. The opposite is the case.
The women of the Renaissance were
magnificently educated, and in the
early centuries women taught with
men in the universities of France and
Italy.
eff you were to find out for your
self why the education of women dis
appeared during the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries You would. find
one of the greatest proofs that the
Catholic Church is not opposed to
progress, as she is accused of being.
Women were well educated until the
Reformation obliterated the old edu-
cationaT system and introduced new
and destructive one. 1t was at that
time that the education of women be-
gan to disappear. They had excellent
times when the old Catholic rights
governed, but in their greed for
gold Protestant rulers took over the
valuable property of the monasteries,
and thus the opportunity for educa-
ton was lost. The nearer we were
to Rome the more chances women
had for education.

women as compared with men there

the railway dollar in May, brings
out strikingly several interesting
POINTS. Among others, it shows that
even in the Western district, where
the amount applicable to dividend
payments was greater in May, 1917,
than year before, operating ex-
penses consumed a larger part Of
the dollar. This is commonly at
tributed to high prices for ma
terials, which undoubtedly are re-
sponsible to some extent, but there
is another and perhaps more i'm
pOrtant factor behind the showing.
1t is that when railroad facilities
are loaded beyond a certain point
the cost of carrying the whole traf-
fic tends to increase faster than the
expansion of tonnage handled.
Thus, assume that a railroad is
carrying 80 per cent of its normal
capacity and that the volume of
traffic increases to 100 per cent.
Experience has shown that a we'll
managed road will save at least
half the increase in operating
revenues for net earnings. But if
with the same facilities the road is
called upon to carry more than
theoretical capacity, efficiency in
handling the traffic will decline, and
when a certain point is reached
there will be no profit at all on the
extra tonnage carried. To the ex-
tent, therefore, that traffic increases
beyond additions to equipment, we
may expect to see an increase in
the operating ratio.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The less favorable turn OF events IN
Russia was reflected last week IN
fresh decline in Russian exchange IN
tbs market, rubles breaking to ia
cents for a new low record. During the
previous week the price had recovered TO
2s% cents. The market was extremely
narrow and only a relatively small
amount Of buying or selling was needed
TO cause considerable price fluctuations
The tendencies of exchange on some
Of the neutral countries are beginning
20 reflect the effects Of the American
cxport embargo. This apparently is
factor in the Spanish exchange market
resetas last week declining TO the low
so level in a month or more.
Bankers who have interests IN tne
Far East were vitality interested in the
action Of the British government in
placing what amounts 10 an embargo
on silver shipments into India. This
makes il increasingly difficult for the
American importer of Indian raw mate
rails 20 arrange payment for the same.
Heretofore silver shipments have been
the principal medium OF making pay
ment. but with that eliminated the only
