AN HONORABLE JUDGE.

There's justice in Missouri
whose Catholicity merits nation
wide recognition. He is Miles
Bulger, presiding judge of the
Jackson county court, and the
Register" of Kansas City, tells
that couple who applied to him
lately for marriage were refused.
"My religion" he explained,
teaches me that | have no right
to perform the sacred ceremony
of marriage. You should get
either a priest or a minister to
perform the ceremony" If the
marriage question in this country
is ever to be solved, the principles
of the Catholic church alone can
effect the solution. And it is edi-
flying to find such laymen as are
not backward in asserting her doc

A JEWISH CHAPLAIN AND
THE CROSS.

A story illustrating the BROTH
erly feeling that suffering endured
for the same cause develops
among men at the front-chap-
lains and soldicrs-comes from
the Vosges.
A French temporary ambulance
was violently bombarded by the
enemy, the frail wooden building
took fire, and the $50 wounded
soldiers, who were waiting to be
removed to a hospital beyond
reach of the cannonade, had to be
carried out as promptly as posi-
bic by the men of good will, who
were on the spot.
A dying soldier, whose life was
fast ebbing away, caught sight OF
an elderly man, whose costume
was that of a military chaplain:
"For Gods sake" he cried,
bring me a crucifix, quick, a
crucifix.' The chaplain did not,
as might be supposed, offer to
give the dying man dissolution
but, in obedience to his request
he succeeded, even in the hurry
and confusion Of this tragic scene
in finding a crucifix, and kneeling
down by the soldier, he held it tc
his lips. This kindly chaplain was
not priest, but M. Block, the
well-known rabbi, who was acting
as chaplain to the Jewish soldiers
he remained with the dying man
till the latter breathed his last, his
lips tightly pressed on the sacred
symbol OF our Christian faith that
the hand of a Jew had brought
him. That same day the charita-
bic rabbi was killed by shell and
died in the arms of a Jesuit, Faith
er Jamin.

also by city officials and represen-

FALSE PROPHETS.

In several state legislatures
bills have been introduced for the
suppression of seers and fortune
tellers. It is a wise move to thus
protect the mentally weak who
alone are their patrons.
No better proof of the fraudu-
lent nature of the business at
which the bills are aimed can be
asked than the fact that these
people who pretend to see the fu-
ture are obliged to order their own
lives exactly as common mortals
do. Taken as a whole, the claims
of these imposters, if true, would
revolutionize government and So
ciety. If they are not liars, they
are the most momentous fact on
earth.
The truth is that they are gen.
orally ignorant and despite their
marvellous claims they often live
in a state of hand-to-mouth pow
erty. Idle and foolish youth with
childish old age make up their

A BOOMERANG.

Georgia is having its fill of Wat
sonism. The campaign carried
on in that state by the opponents
of religion is having its effect, and
the protest lodged against the
teaching in the two Catholic state
aided schools has acted as a veri-
table boomerang. Owing to the
protest offered by the followers of
Tom Watson, the state superin-
tendent OF schools investigated
the charge and as a result six
Baptist, six Methodist and one
Presbyterian school were found
to be in exactly the same position
as that of the two Catholic
schools. As a result these schools
will suffer equally with the Catho-
lie institutions.
A number OF high schools under
Protestant UNCONVENTIONAL control
will also be affected and unless
other financial aid is given many
OF them will be obliged to close
their doors.

THE IRIH REPUBLIC.
How goes the Irish Republic

How goes the Irish Republic
Well.
1t has more men behind it,
more arms to support it, more
love and enthusiasm for it, more
contempt and defiance for its
enemies in the ranks of it's mem
bers than it has ever had.
"The Irish Republic now viz
tually established" was phrase
of the obligation taken by the
Fenians at initiation, and it was
a solemn and a glorious state
ment of sober fact.
The Irish Republic stands.
The sisterhood of Ireland and
England is no longer referred to
even in the English press, and
common laws and common
crown, and common heritage" is
phrase that is as dead in theory
as it is dead in reality.
England no longer hopes for
Irish support, she can buy trait
tors, but no price can buy men,
and the Irish regiments, COM
posed largely of England's slum
jewellers have melted away with
out an Irishman to fill the gaps.
The English press bowls for
CONSUMPTION. and the military
dictatorship that rules Ireland
would try CONSUMPTION if they
dared.
The most that any sane British
er dreams of in his hope for Ire
land is such a state of feeling as
would allow a reduction of the
English garrison that now holds
Ireland down by force of arms.
And it is we'll to remember
that there has been no friend, no
arbiter of Ireland's destinies, but
the Irish people themselves.

pealed, and not in vain, to the

One of the signs of the times is
the cool effrontcry with which
Our people ignore the rights of
Almighty God to rule the world,
and with which they usurp this
divine right to themselves or to
the state. 1t is a sign which shows
that the proud, presumptuous
doctrine of private Interpretation
of the Bible has at length brought
about it's logical result-the re-
lection of the Bible and the God
of the Bible, and the setting up
in Gods place of self and state.
This is idolatry-and idolatry of
the kind most difficult to eradi-
cate, since it is founded on abso-
lutte pride, the most stubborn of
vices. For the man who merely
breaks Gods. law, there is hope
his sin is human. The man who
usurps Gods power of making
laws, is wellnigh hopeless; his
crime is diabolical. He follows
the proud spirits who first raised
the standard of revolt against
their Creator and reechoes their
battle cry, 81 will not serve!"-

OUTLAWING DIVORCE.

One of the currents of the time
is the divorce evil. Catholics
know and understand the posi-
ton the Church takes on this
problem. The world looks up
with admiration to the church
for her unfaltering protection of
the marriage vow. But Catholics
fail in practise to support the doc
trines they profess when they
even, through sympathy, condone
the sin of another. The Catholic
woman especially, should make it
clear that Divorces who remarry
are strangers, are people who act
and think differently from the
way we believe they should. In
ostrasizing such violators of the
moral standard, a woman need
not be rude. 1t is not necessary
to sacrifice her natural courtesy
and refinement for there are ways
of being quiet, yet firm, but it is
her duty to subordinate the cause
of the individual to the cause of
truth and public morality. It is
real charity that tells her not to
help-even with her neutrality
the widespread evil that in few
years has brought society to the
verge of ruin.

MIND YOUR CHILDREN.

Keep your eye on your chill
drens conduct at all times, as far
as possible. Let them never be
far away from you if you can help
it, and make it your business al
ways to know where they are.
Insist that they shall come
straight home after school, and,
then, if they want to go anywhere
let them ask permission. St. John
Chrysostom, speaking fifteen hum
dred years ago, said: People
take better care of their cows and
horses than they do OF their chill
dren !" And is it not true today ?
If you have horse or COW, you
always know pretty we'll where
they are to be found. Can you
say the same of your children ?
Even at night, when they should
all be in the house, many of you
do not know where they are. They
are running the streets some
where and learning no good, you
may depend on that. That is
criminal carelessness on the part
of the parents who permit it. The
youngest should never be allowed
out after dark, and even with the
grownup ones you should insist
that they should be in at an early
hour. There must be no going to
bed and leaving the doors open
for them to come in. How any
father or mother can go to sleep
with an easy conscience while
their boys or girls are out, and
they don't know where they are
is something hard to understand.

AMERICA SHOULD NOT
ACT IN HASTE.

The note received by America
from Germany last Thursday
morning announcing that she will
increase her submarine war and
asks us to look out and warn
American shippers to keep out of
the war zone is nothing more
than could be expected since the
Allies declare that they want no
peace without victory, let them
fight for victory. Let the Ameri-
can press play neutral for the
time being and suspend their
hasty judgment and await calmly
for more light upon the subject.
Why this hasty conviction of the
Kaiser and his submarine warfare
by every English owned paper in
the United States? Has Eng
lands money so blinded the
American Editors of our Metro
politan press that they are blind
to the welfare of their readers?
We believe that every prudent.
self-thinking man will suspend
judgment for the time being and
await further development, as
this is merely a turn in the affairs
of war, and possibly a return from
President Wilson's sudden intru-
sion into European politics. If
Germany intends to torpedo Eng
lands boats or other boats which
carry contraband stuff, let Eng
land, with her great navy get out
and protect these ships, it's up to
her to fight or hide.
The forbidden area for neutral
vessels under Germany's warning
is bounded by line running from
practically the center of the Meth
erlands coast northwards, block
aiding all Denmark and the en-
trance to the Baltic, to the outside
point of Norway, thence due west,
skirting the southern part of the
Farce islands; then west and then
south in a grand square 800 to
400 miles to sea off the British
Isles, to the junction of Spain and
Portugal, apparently leaving the
latter country open and affording
2O-mile safety zone along the
northern Spanish coast to the
French border. Practically the
whole Mediterranean is declared
dangerous except a narrow strip
almost paralleling the African
coast to a point directly south of
Greece, from which a 20-mile
path to Greek territorial waters is
declared open.

a memorial of the golden sacerdotal

Ford of the orphanage property. He
offered thirty-three acre tract in an.

THE LILY OF ISRAEL: The Life of

Gerbet. Revised edition. With
foreword by Rev. William Living
ston. u mo-, 1886 pages, frontis-
piece in color. rs cents. New York:
P. j. Kennedy & Sons.
With the exception of the life of
Our Divine Lord no biography of those
who followed in the footsteps of Our
Savior, or since, is so deserving of at
tention as the Life of His Blessed
Mother. And of the several which
have been written in English, none has
made more wide appeal to Catholics
during the past generation than "The
Lily of Israeli
Even cursory perusal of this de-
lightfully picturesque account of Our
Lady's life is quite sufficient to explain
the fascination it has held for so many
readers in the course of the last fifty
years. But as Father Livingston ex-
plains in his Illuminating foreword to
this new edition, ''the occasional
flights of fancy which carried it's writ
er beyond the confines of credibility,
called for a treatment more accept
able to modern readers" and the pres
ent version will without doubt prove
even more popular and attractive than
the old.
The charm of 1.-The Lily of Israeli
lies to considerable degree in the
simple treatment of the characters
and incidents associated with the life
of Our Lady as narrated in the Scrip
lures. The author gives us vivid pic
ture of times and conditions, and
weaves the story of mans redemption
with wealth of information concern
ing the life, manners, thoughts, and
aspirations of the Jewish people.
We follow the Blessed Virgin from
her infancy and all it's marvellous cir
cumstances with feeling of rever.
ence as the inspired words of Holy
Writ convey to us their message Of
the Redeemers work among men. But
the chief interest of the book is to be
found in the authors portrayal of
Mary's character. The great dignity
of the Mother of God was ever resplen-
dent in her profound humility which
made her realize her awful RESPONSE
bility and sustained her in the keen
sorrow and suffering that filled her
soul at the humiliations of her Divine
Son. In these tribulations she was
mindful Of the will of God to bring
redemption to mankind and to share
with her Son in the work of our saliva
ton.
This new edition of THE Lily of
Israel" deserves wide distribution,
for it cannot fail to increase our love
for the Blessed Virgin and her Divine
Son. The book is we'll printed from
new type, tastefully bound and reflects
credit on the publishers.
