Lloyd George on the Church.-Lloyd
| George, the new English prime min
lister, who is now so much before the
public, has this to say of the Catholic
Church: Sometimes we criticize the
Catholic Church very severely, Dlrt
| there is no church that has made a
surer and deeper search into human
nature. The Catholic Church, the
greatest religious organization in the
world, conducts it's worship in com
mon tongue. The Catholics conduct
their worship in a language of wor
ship. Their Church utilizes every
means of taking people outside every
day interests, and seeks to induce
them to forget what is outside. Thus
the language of commerce and every
day occupation is left outside, and the
people are taught the language of wor
ship. That shows a shrewd, deep in
sight into the human mind
