Of. The great Cardinal Manning used
to say: "A will, in which God is not
remembered, is bad will" Nothing
is more true, for the author of such a
will makes no recognition Of his in
debtedness to the Almighty for all that
he is able to leave behind, shows him
self to have an ungrateful heart, and
cheats his own soul.
How is God remembered? by be-
quest to any laudable work, particular
ly to any work fostered by religion.
Moreover by such a course parents
will be more sure to obtain GOd'S
blessing on the inheritance they leave
to follow every Inheritance, for we
know how money becomes a means OF
ruin to many people.
1t is so sad to hear of Catholics con-
testing a will in which worthy char
tiles are remembered by a relative.
We read of such cases occasionally,
and one must pity the blindness Of
such people who cannot see that their
scandalous actions will bring down
Gods curse upon the money which,
through the law, they have diverted
into their own pockets and away from
Gods Church, from His poor, or the
orphans, for whom the same was in
tended by s.le dying relative.
Money Lest for the benefit Of par
ticular church, if the church be not in
cOrporated, should be left to the priest
for the church intended to be bene-
fited
Not everyone is able to leave much
for religion, but there are few who
could not leave $25, $50, or 500 to the
parish church; and if this occurred
ten or twenty times a year. the prob
lem of paying for churches would be
solNeu. Exchange.

Oar amt no yesterdays; nothun mat

not the people taxed heavier by the
government on that account?
Religion is free in those countries
in much the same way in when the
public schools are free here. But are
the public schools free? They are the
most expensive institutions which the
state treasury has to support; Tor
each child patronizing the same the
people must pay from $500 to $1,000
a year. Had we none but denomlna-
tional schools, it would amount to
much less than it does now
1t matters not whether people have
any children to send to school,
whether their families have produced
any orphans, or aged, or feeble-mlnd-
ed. or insane or incorrigible mem
bers; they are taxed to support IN
situations for all these. They must
support state and county houses, col
leges and universities, reformatorles
and penitentiaries, insane asylums and
orphanages, houses for the aged and
many other Institutions under the
control of the State, even if they nave
no relative on earth who is cared TOT
in any of them To enjoy the dement's
of citizenship, we must bear the
burdens of citizenship. This seems
reasonable, and we hear no complaint
about it. Applying the same logic to
church-support, the trulsm reaas:
"To enjoy the benefits OF church
membership, we should bear the bur
dens Of church-membership, which
are comparatively light. State repre-
sentatives issue a call: Give unto
Caesar the things that are caesar S,
and are obeyed; and the representa-,
tives of the Church issue call:
Give unto God the things that are
Gods" and they are resisted. Give
your Saviour an unmortgaged mouse,
furnish it, beautify it; support GODS
delegate-the dispenser OF the mys-
teries of God; erect and support
school, in which your children Will
be made loyal soldiers of Jesus Christ
in this world of sin and fellow
citizens of the Saints in Heaven. TO
promote the greater glory or Goa, ana
to further yours and your children
eternal salvation the Church asks
little material assistance from you
and what is your response?
Some people imagine that because
the Church is not of earth. because
her work is of the spiritual, charit-
able order, she ought to get along
without money. Would that she
could! She is not of earth. but she is
on earth, and on earth it requires
money to conduct anything.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-02-10
MAKING YOUR WILL
THINK OF GODS CAUSE WHEN
you MAKE YOUR WILL.

Everyone who possesses any money
or property should make a will, and
should arrange this important matter
in due time. During your last illness
you will need all your time to think
of your soul; don't deprive it of those
precious moments by being annoyed
about the disposal of your earthly pos
sessions Don't make it necessary for
your children to withdraw their atten-
ton from you, in theiraworry concern
ing your neglect to adjust such mat
ters earlier. Do not be unnecessarily
disturbed by the visits of lawyers or
the conflicting counsels of prospective
legatees. You will rest more quietly,
die more easily and happily, if you
draw up sensible and just testament
at the time when your head is cool.
Be convinced of the truth of the say
ing: who giveth to the poor, lend
eth to the Lord and draws big inter
est Remember religious or charitable
institutions, or donate to your parish
church some article it stands in need

The Burden Of Support
IN MANY COUNTRIES TAX FOR
THE CHURCH is LEVIED LIKE
TAX FOR THE STATE.

The Church, in her external consti-
tuition, is an organization, a society,
composed of rulers and subjects just
as the State is. AS the State should
work, the Church does work for the
common good Of the people, and
hence, like the State, she must be sup
ported by the people. The Church is
as much more deserving of support
than the State, as the good she does
is greater than that done by the
State. People complain not when the
State asks for some ofs their earnings,
but let the Church do so, and what
fault-fnding! The State levies taxes
according to the amount of ones pos
sessions-so much on $100.00-and
the people pay for it. If they do not
pay it, the authorities sell their
property. But in parochial matters
each person would like to be legisla-
tor and determine what should be the
amount of tax, pew, rent, or other
sources of support.
In many countries, the tax for the
Church is levied like the tax for the
State; and the people pay heavily
toward the support of the Church,
though you may imagine they pay
nothing. 1t is true that in these
countries the government pays for
the support Of the Church, but are

For four years this country had
been scOurged by Civil war Millions
Of lives had been sacrificed, the re-
sources of the South had been eX-
hausted, and those Of the North
drained to the utmost. The whole
country was filled with the MANNED,
the homes of the land were in mourn

sacrificed on southern battlefields, but
the soul of Abraham Lincoln shone
forth in trust in God, in His goodness
and in His justice. He said:
If we shall suppose that American
slavery is one of these offenses which
in the Providence Of God must needs
come, but which, having continued
through the appointed time, He now
Wills to remove, and that He gives to
both North and South this terrible
war, as the woe due to those by whom
the offense came, shall we discern
therein any departure from those di-
vine attributes which the believers in
living God always ascribe to Him?
Fondly do we hope, fervently do we
pray, that this mighty scourge of war
may speedily pass away. Yet, if God
wills that it, continue until all the
wealth piled by the bondmen's two
hundred and fifty years Of unrequitted
toll shall be sunk, until every drop
of blood drawn with the lash shall
be paid with another drawn by the
sword, as was said three thousand
years ago, SO still it must be said, the
judgments of the Lord are true and
righteous altogether
with malice toward none, with
charity for all, with firmness in the
right as God gives us to see the right,
let us strive on to finish the work we
are in: to bind up the nations wounds,
to care for him who shall have borne
the battle and for his widow and his
orphan--to do all which may achieve
and cherish just and lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations
