the banks of the city were literally
opening their cash vaults at the lowest
rate of interest ever available to any
one in Washington, and the further
fact that there was no commission In

ing back of the loan, 1t was an easy
matter to sell bonds

THE CHILD.

What is necessary to child's prop
or training? Archbishop Glennon of
St. Louis, Mo-, answers this question
as follows
Responsible parents, a home, and
an attitude on the part Of the parents,
of interest, affection and intelligence
And there must be, furthermore, and
back of all, the high standard of liv-
ing, which will be a beacon light to
lead the child upwards and EDWARDS. ;"
TO these elements of training still
another must be added-the school.
The Archbishop is very definite about
the character of this school, which, he
insists, must be a school that will am
plify and strengthen the teaching OF
the home. In such a school the mean
ing of sacrifice, the value of Obedi-
ence, the laws of God will be further
inculcated.
In other words" said the Arch
bishop, the Catholic school is the
necessary complement of the Catholic
home, maintaining at once and ampli-
fying the child's responsibilities to
.God-to his parents-to his home-to
his country

A GREAT ANGLICAN CHANGE.

The London Catholic Times prints
on it's editorial page the following:
We fear that if the Church of Eng
land Protestants of a hundred years
ago or less could hear the Anglicans
CT today taking on religion or could
read their writings in regard to it
they would turn in their graves.
Doctrines which filled them with
alarm are now accepted by .Anglicans
without demur. In last weeks issue
of the Church Times appears letter
i'm defence of the doctrine of Purga-
tory which shows that the writer, Mr..
A. II. Baverstock, has been carefully
studying our theological authors who
treat of4the subject. Though appar-
emily an Anglican, he maintains that
the Tridentine definition, that there
is Purgatory and that the souls de-
tanned there are aided. by prayer and
especially by the offering of the Holy
Sacrifice summarizes the common be-
lief of Christians from considerably
before the days of St. Augustine. At
meeting of Anglicans in All Saints
Church Hall, Margaret street, on Sun
day last the Rev. L. w. Greenstreet
said chaplain was necessary in
every school; daily Mass should be
voluntary, and there should be oppor-
tunities for a boy to go to confession.
And Mr.. Ian Malcolm, NJ: p, said what
was wanted was a Catholic revival
in the public schools. He would like
to see Mr.. G. X. Chesterton infusing
into the masters the almost reckless
gaiety of the Catholic. religion. 1t is
not so many years since such a speech
might have cost Mr.. Malcolm his seat
in Parliament. 1.-THE Anglicans have
not reached the Catholic Church they
are trying To approach 1T.

THE SPIRITS AND THEIR WORLD.

When treating of the distinction
says that after the distinction of, good
and evil in creatures, the next distinc-
ton to be considered is that between
corporeal and spiritual creatures. He
then proceeds to treat % Of the pure
ly spiritual creature which in Holy
Writ is called angel, GU of the crea-
ture wholly corporal, and CD of the
composite creature, corporal and
spiritual, which is man. In the first
article of the treatise on the angels
st. Thomas asks the question whether
there is any entirely spiritual crea
ture, altogether incorporeal. Are
there creatures of such nature that
they do not depend at all, in any way
whatsoever, upon corporeal matter,
either as regards their substance, or
their activities?
III In order to understand this question
well it is necessary toiknow the differ
ence4 between what is simple and what
is spiritual. Every spiritual being is
a simple being, but the converse is
not true. There are many things that
are simple which are not altogether
incorporea13h The principle of activ-
ity must necessarily be simple, with
out parts, that is uneXtended. The
living principle of a plant or of an
animal must be simple, otherwise it
is quite impossible to explain the
unity of any one action Now, al
though these principles are simple or
incorporeal no one of them is spiritual
or entirely incorporeal. The living
principle of a plant, e. g., depends
upon corporeal mattersinsorders te4put
forth any activity at all, and it can be
shown that if this. very activity de-
penis upon ceEporeal matter so does
the very substanceSWhich is the prin-
|ciple of that activity depend.npon mat
ter. Is there, sthen, a creature which
depends in no way, as regards either
substance or activity, upon corporeal
matter? If there is, it is called a
spiritual substance and is something
higher in perfection of being than a
mere simple substance.
That there exists such an order Of
beings is of faith; there are innumer-
able passages in Holy Scripture which
speak of the angels. Viewing the
question on the side of reason, it must
be. admitted that no demonstrative
proof. can be brought forward to prove
the existence Of purely spiritual be
ings; only probable reasons can be. adj
duced. ST. Thomas's argument, here
| in the aSufnma,7 comes to this, that if
there are no angels there is great
gap in the universe.

BEARING ONES CROSS.

Everybody in this world has a cross
of some kind to bear. 1t may be one
lying unseen in the silence of the
hearts profOundest depths; or it may
be one that is painfully visible to all.
To some God gives but one great cross
to bear; on others He showers what
seems like a multitude of smaller
ones. But, great or small, or one or
many, the cross is there, and must.
be carried.
Some bearers wreathe their crosses
with the sharp thorns of repining and
discomfort; others with the soft bios
SONS of patience and hope 1t is large
ly a matter of choice, resting with the
bearer; but it is the revelation of our
experience that he finds his cross
lightest who has learned - bitter
though the lesson is-tO smile with
others at his own miseries.

for his friend. Blessed Juliana of Nor
wich says in a passage of beautiful
phrasing, Love is His token. Who
told it to you?-Love Wherefore told
He it to you?-For love- Yes, love
is His token, Love alone supplies the
reason for His death, Willingly suf-
fered, since this is the highest express
sion of love. Truly. when He hung
upon the Cross, He cried out that all
was censummated,~ for even love Al
mighty could no further go. Like the
penitent whose sins He fOrgave so
freely, He broke the fair white alabas-
ter box of His own dear body, and
the whole world has been filled with
the fragrance of it.
Thus it is, then, that quite rightly
the Passion and death of Our blessed
Lord do come most powerfully into
our lives; since it was by His death
that we were redeemed, and because
His death represents TO us the highest
achievement that love can offer. Love
expresses itself in the broken phrase
Of sacrifice
1T behooves me, therefore, to keep
ever fresh in mind the Passion of Our
Lord. How is this best to be done?
By a tender devotion to the Five
Wounds of Christ. + = The devo-
,tion to the Five Wounds was so pop
ular all over Christendom (witness its
carved shield on the bosses of the
roofs of our Cathedrals, its appear
ance on the bench-head Of our old par
ish churches, its colored glory in the
ancient WindOWs), is SO full of love,
yet not of sentiment or 9ush, is so
bracing with its refining fierceness of
suffering, that it must find many who
would welcome its reappearence in
this modern world. 1t is an old de-
votion, but it is coming back, just
because it does keep alive the memory
of Christ's death. No one can be I'M
manned, made effeminate by the sight
CT a wound. The sight must steady
me, give me the necessary sternness
to meet life sturdily, yet it adds to
all this strength the tenderness of
love. At Communion, or when | make
my visit, and words and thoughts
seem to fail, let me turn to these
dumb mouths that open their ruby
lips to beg the voice and utterance Of
my love-

SIGNS. OF A VANISHING PRoTEs
TANTISM.

Revelations of the Census Bureau
present a danger for Professionalism
that needs attention, says The Chris
tian-Evangelist Disciples, ST. Louis).
The danger can be met, it thinks,
only by an evangelism that more
nearly resembles that of the Catholic
Church than the revivalism of the
Protestant In the first Federal birth
statistics ever published the States of
New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Minnesota, the New England States,
and the District OF Columbia are
dealt with. The highest death-rate in
this area was found in New Hamp-
shire and the lowest in Minnesota.
The highest birth-rate was in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, and the
lowest in Maine. The greatest eX-
cess OF births over deaths was in
Minnesota and the least in Maine.
This journal finds here disclosed
some interesting facts with regard to
the marked difference of family in
crease between those of foreign and
native extraction. The excuses OF
the birth-rates of the foreign-born
over the native-born population varied
from 40 per cent in Minnesota to 300
per cent in Connecticut.
Apparently these figures indicate
two tendencies in our American social
life. First, they indicate that the
white race is slowly supplanting the
colored in population; and, secondly,
that the foreign-born whites are sup
planting the native born. In this lat
ter fact lies a great danger for Ameri-
can Professionalism. The majority of
our foreign-born population are Jews,
Catholics, or Freethinkers The
growth of the Roman Catholic Church
is largely due to the greater proper
ton of births among immigrants
The same church which prescribes
celibacy for its clergy, encourages
large families among the laity. 1t is
noticeable that Catholicism grows VI
almost entirely by absorbing its own
children rather than by proselytfsm
Protestants frequently let their chill
dren get away from them and then
hold big revivals to bring them back
We need an evangelism which will
hold the children quite as much as
one which will bring them again into
the fold
