Revealed Religion Is Against
Reason.

Objections: According to the mod
ern world-view it is an inalienable
right of reason, and that of every
persons reason, to decide for him
self what is true and false, good and
bad. In the Middle Ages and still
in the Catholic Church the final
judgment rests with authority: Rome
has spoken, the ease in finished"
That is against reason, because I'M
reasonable, whilst the modern world
view is according to reason, reason
able. Thus says Professor Paulsen
Ct 190S) of Berlin.
Answer: The learned professor
overlooked the fact that in the Middle
Ages and in the Catholic Church,
as in every sane world-view, the
authority has right to judge only
after it has legitimatized itself be-
fore the bar of reason.
Before l submit myself to an au-
thority l must be convinced in my
mind that the authority in question
is one that knows the truth, wants to
tell it and really tells it.
To submit ones self to such an
authority is according to right reason
reasonably, not unreasonable; but
to refuse submission in spite of this
conviction, is unreasonable, really
against reason.
So the tables are turned upon the
objector.
IA. More Light.
Objection: If God wants to make
a revelation to man, He should do
it with such clear evidence that no
doubts are possible.
Answer: Reasonable doubts are
indeed not possible for any one who
is of good will; but if one has no good
will he can have doubts of which he
knows that there is no solid foun-
dation for them.
The learned Father Pesch, S. j.,
writes in his work Die Weltratsel
(World Riddles ii. p. 414): 1T is not
the purpose of Divine Revelation to
throw man to the ground by the light
of Divine Majesty and to force him
to accept Revelation by kind of
mathematical evidence. In that case
ethics (the science of human duty
would lose it's Specification for man
and virtue it's trial and verifcation.
1.-THE purpose, which underlies Rev
elation, demands that not only mans
physical but also his moral freedom
must remain to him. Man must be
able to submit himself humbly or
resist proudly. He must be put to
choice in which his good will de-
cides the issue. The goodness of the
will and not the clearness of the
understanding is to decide mans lot.
History shows in how far the Divine
Wisdom has adopted the best way in
this regard; just look at the kind of
people that turn their back upon
Revelation 1t is those who are
given to .'the concupiscence of the
eyes, the concupiscence of the flesh
and the pride of life." First the Com
mandments are thrown overheard
and then follows the Greed, never
the reverse.

SHAW GETS BONUS in
WINNING final GAME
Grifmen Take Red Sox Into Camr
in Last Contest of the Season.

Boston. Mass. Oct. 4-Jim Shaw
won the $500 bonus offered by the
washington club for winning fifteen
games here today when his final ef-
fort resulted In a 5-to4 win for the
Washington team over the Red sox
The game marked the close of the
local American League season
While there were periods in the
game when II appeared as though
the Red sox players were not ex-
tending themselves for fear of spoil
ing shaw's grand opening. Washing
ton clearly outplayed the home team
in all departments of the game. The
game was a dull affair and was at
tended by less than 400 people.
Shaw's double in the second really
settled the game. for he scored Shanks
and Ainsmith with the clout- In the
third. hits by Foster and Clyde Milan
followed by Rice's double scored two
runs. Rice scored later on Janvrin's
poor throw 70 the plate.
Ainsmith's bad peg to check a
double steal allowed McNally TO score
Boston's first run in the second. Hits
by Janvrin and Gamer with a double
by Walsh accounted for two more in
the third. Walsh led the fifth with
safe single and taking second an
infield out scored on McNally's sin
gle.
Both teams scattered for their vari-
Gus homes tonight. A few OF the
Washington players will Join the Red

THANKSGIVING

President Wilson in his Thanks
giving Proclamation makes no at.
tempt to recount the specific things
for which the Nation at this time
has cause to be grateful. Had he
particularized doubtless he would
have given the result of the Second
Liberty Loan prominent place
among those things for which the
Nation should be thankful.
For the great result of the Sec
ond Liberty Loan campaign, with
nearly 100000 Americans rally
ing to the financial support of the
Nation and subscribing over four
and half billion dollars for the
purchase of Liberty Loan Bonds,
is a cause for deep thanksgiving
in the heart of every loyal Amer
lean.
President Wilson says the Ma

tho Railroads.

Discussing the transportation of
troops since the outbreak of the
war Maj. Gen. w. H. Carter, COM
manding the Central War Depart
ment, headquarters Chicago, said {:
Without an accident to a sing
lie man, without delay at point Of
origin, en route, or at destination.
without hitch in the arrange
ments as originally planned. the
officers and men Of the national
guard in fourteen states were tran
Sported by rail in one week to the
distant environments designated by
the War Department.
That is Il record of which cv~
cry American has a right to be
proud. 1t is more remarkable il,
view OF the fact that it was mad,
at time when the railways We're
handling tlf" heaviest commercial
traffic, both freight and passenger,
ever known.
"Just two things made that rec
ord possible-organization and CO.
operation; the organization of our
army, the organization of our en-
tire transportation lines into pract-
lcally a single system and the
hearty cooperation of these two
highly developed organizations.
The whole movement of the
national guard in the very short
time allotted, without causing con-
gestion on the railroads or at camp
destinations, could not have been
effected but for the unification of
the railroads agreed upon by their
presidents and carried out through
what is commonly CALLED the Rail
roads War Board"

Amount Of Second Liberty Loan,

Ihe amount OF the Second Lib.

will be accepted is $3,sOS, ,766, $50.
which is the $4,000, 100000 offered
and one-half of the oversubscrip-
ton Of approximately 81 per cent
Secretary McAdoo states in an
swer to inquiries, that the full
amount of the subscription will
not be accepted for the reason that
:he Government must not alter the
basis upon which the issue of bonds
was offered; that the banks and
public have adjusted themselves to
the basis of the Offering as origin
ally made; and that it would be ex-
tremely unwise to alter that basis
after the subscriptions have been
received.
All will agree with Secretary
McAdoo that the success of the Sc
cond Liberty Loan would have
been impossible without the loyal
support and cooperation of thu
people of the country and that that
support was secured by the indie
fatigable and earnest work Of
patriotic men and women through
out the United States.
Well may the Secretary of the
Treasurer thank these splendid
volunteers and patriots who made
the fight for Liberty Loan. In adj
dition to the thousands and thou
sands Of individual workers, he
motions particularly the press of
of the country. the bankers, the
Liberty Loan organizations in ev~
cry State. city, town and commun
lty, the women of America, the
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and
the business men. patriotic organ
izations, cooperative and f,tater-
nal societies and other organiza-
tons throughout the land, and
those employers of labor in large
numbers who gave every opportun-
ity to their employees to subscribe
to the bonds.
There is something particularly
patriotic in the liberal support Civ
en- the Second Liberty Loan by t. e
soldiers and sailors of the United
States. Having enlisted their lives
in the service of their country,
they have enlisted their dollars,
too. Surely they are worthy of ev.
cry needed sacrifice on the part of
the people to strengthen item t.,
win the victory.
