WHEN THE GUILDS PROVIDED
PUBLIC AMUSEMENT.

We studied the activities of the
Medieval Guilds in regard to educa-
ton and social problems Therein
was shown to you the guild, training
portray the activities of the guild in
it's members for the work of life, af-
fording advantages for the fulfillment
of the sterner duties, ennobling labor,
solving veXing social problems; in a
word, making men more useful and
life less burdensome.
The purpose of this paper will be to
portray the activities of the Guild in
the lighter relations of life.
Having provided men with an edu-
cation, having brought about condi-
lions under which men could live con-
tentedly, they also furnished them the
means Of enjoying the hours that must
be spent in relaxation from daily toll
and occupation. The people of the
Middle Ages realized the truth of the
adage, "All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" Unlike the men of
our essentially industrious and swift
ly moving age, who take little account
of leisure and its employment, they
saw the importance of the day of
rest, recreation and enjoyment. Sim
osophy of life.
The guilds, then, actuated by this
view of life, threw themselves into the
work of providing amusement for the
people with the same ardor and en-
thusiasm which they had shown in
educating them, and in improving their
social conditions. The guilds were a
fruitful source of amusement and rec
reation, and this, not for their mem
bers alone, for around them was cen
tered all that the Middle Ages knew
of organized popular entertainment.
At least once year the members of
each guild dined together for the pur-
pose of brotherly love and good-fellow-
ship. 1t is interesting to note that
at these banquets, as at their other
entertainments, the presence of the
women-folk was expected and encour-
aged. Doubtless, such friendly gather
ings and the family-like relations
which they created among the people
had an agreeable and beneficial influ-
ence on community life.
Under the medieval guild system,
with its eight hours of work, its eight
hours of rest and refreshment, its
eight hours of sleep, it's thirty or forty
holy days of obligation, its half-holiday
on Saturday, and on the vigils of the
more important Feasts of the Church $
calendar, ample time was given for
respite from labor, of which the Guilds
were not slow to avail themselves.

THE FUTlLiTY OF HATE.

Sydney Smith said that it was his
idea of hell to hate somebody.
Hate, malice, envy, hard thoughts of
any sort poison first the heart in which
they originate. They form brackish,
unhealthy pool where all sorts of foul
mental conditions generate.
1t is only in our loves that we really
live.
What we hate is dead to us. The
wider the range of our hates, the mar
rover are our lives.
1t is a beautiful belief that every
kindly act, word, thought or impulse
continues in it's influence forever
Frightening and sweetening the world
and that every evil deed or thought
permanently destroys part of the
sum total of human happiness.
Certainly this is the effect upon the
life in which the thought originates
Every thought elevates or lowers, puri
fies or debases.
Love thoughts are wings. Hate
thoughts are weights.
Your own feeling is reflected back
to you from others. If you give love
you get love. 1t is one of the things
the more of which you give the more
you have.
+ 1t is your own attitude that attracts
or repels others. According as you
love you get love or hate, you sur
round yourself with an atmosphere OF
inviting sweetness or you hedge your
self in like the quilted porcupine.
Love is the light in which we see
and live.
Hates are malarial mists in which
we blindly grope and miserably rot.

POPULAR APoLoGETICS.
Adapted. from the German of Rev.
Peter Mikes, S. j., by Rev. James
Watcher.

LVIII. The Sublimity of Pantheism.
Objection In pantheism the hu-
man intellect celebrates. its. greatest
divine triumphs. Man feels himself
one with the whole great Nature, as
a piece, as a ray Of the eternal
Deity (God), the highest manifesto
tion of God; all that is around him
he sees in a divine light. The great
word of the first days Of human con-
seriousness has been fulfilled: "Eritis
sicut dii-you shall be as Gods
Gen. $50.
Answer: Father Rob, S. j., (f1S72)
ridicules this god-likeness as fol-
lows: "On the day that pantheists
are born they weep and wall as
though the greatest misfortune had
must go to much trouble to clean up
and form these godlets And when
the god is ready, the lamentation be-
gins in earnest. Around about him
what a pushing, competition, kicking,
envy, calumny, pounding between him
and the other parcels of the deity!
And the end of all this glory? A
miserable fever pushes the idol into
the pit, the food of worms" (Grund-
irrtuemer unserer Zeit-Fundamen-
tai Errors of Our Time. p. 21.)
In pantheism it is but a small step
from the sublime TO the ridiculous.
The sublimity of pantheism ends in
feeling of Mohammedan fatalism.
Let intidels in most sentimental Ian
guage call nature Mother Nature, .
this cold mother has no heart: she is
a blind devouring monster, which
nOurishes man for time and then
devours him. At every turn man has
to be careful that this blind Mother
Nature" does not destroy, crush, poi
son, burn, and drown him. And then
all is over! The old, cold consola-
ton of the infdel David Strauss
(I1874) can help but little: Who,
ever stands under the blind mechan,
and levers Of this world chine,
which can at any moment shatter
and pulverize him, may indeed be
overcome by an uncanny feeling of
his powerlessness; but who can not
familiariZe himself with this feeling
is not up to date
We find this fatalistic conception
in our modern literature, among
others in the novel "Joern Uhr' by
the Protestant pastor and novelist
Frenssen, which quietly undermines
faith and morals, and in which life's
destiny is portrayed as Il great, black
monster, which quietly raises its paw
with the white claws, which can not
be flattered nor avoided, and to which
one approaches always nearer and
nearer, till finally the merciless paw
falls with fatal effect.
How consOling, on the contrary, is
the thought of Divine Providence!
Truly sublime is the Christian con
Ception that God is our Father Who
guides and rules all, without Whose
will not a hair falls from our head,
and Who directs even misfortunes for
our good. Il am a child of the great
and loving God; my life on earth is a
pilgrimage; heaven is my father
land!" That is truth, exalted and
eXalting truth.

War Library Fund
Still Short But Grows
Rapidly As Goal Nears

Things look a trif1e more cheerful
for the War Library fund. For instance
the members Of the Elks' lodge voted
last evening to give 500. Then $44 was
raised at the state house through the
efforts Of Miss Marguerite Mers of the
state engineers office and Mrs. Fred
Schwab Of the state superintendent OF
schools office.
Plans are being made by which all
the teachers in the city will be asked
to do their bit in the way of helping
the fund. Patrons who have enjoyed the
privilege of the library will probably
be asked to contribute 81 each Just as
an appreciation.
Salem 8 quota is $3.50 and the amount
secured to date is about $685..
For the benefit of those who do not
quite understand what the war Lib
rary fund is for, it may once more
be said that all this money is not for
books. Part of the big expense is the
erection of library buildings at each of
the cantonments. Each library will be
large enough to provide reading for
from 10000 to 10000 men. And to pro-
perly care for the books, the services
of experienced librarians are necessary.
There seems to be the impression in
certain quarters that the boys do not
want books. But army men are all fav-
orably disposed towards the library
proposition, as the average soldier only
works eight hours day while in train
ing.

Commissioner Miller
Goes to Washington
to Attend Convention

Commissioner Miller of the public ser
vice commission leaves today for Wash
ington where he will attend a meeting
Of the National Association of Public
Service Commissioners, in which he is
chairman of several important commit
tees. He will also look after matters
bearing on and affecting Oregon bust
ness. One Of these is the matter of
minimum load fixed by the Southern
Pacific railroad of $4,000 pounds to the
car on lumber. From the southern pine
districts the minimum load is $4,000.
This gives the southern millmen big
advantage, as their rate is ten cents
lower and as in the case of dry finish
ing lumber and such, it is impossible
to get the minimum load into car,
the coast is compelled to pay still heav-
Ter freight rates.
Another matter Mr.. Miller will take
up with the interstate commerce com
mission is that of the Erie railroad
which has asked to be allowed to make
a terminal charge of from $22 to $25
car on fruit shipments. This would
work a hardship on the fruit industry
of the coast and he hopes to prevent
this charge being allowed.
There are several other matters Of
importance to the coast which he will
take up with the interstate commerce
commission, and now that there is a
coast man on the commission, one per
fectly familiar with conditions here, Mr..
Miller has strong hopes of getting jus
tice done Pacific coast industries, some
thing that heretofore. the interstate
commerce commission has overlooked.
He expects to be gone for several weeks.
