WHAT AN ANTl-cATHoLlC BOOK
DID.

Often l have tried to look back in
to my life. and accurately determine
the very first time that had any seri-
Gus thought about the teachings of
the Catholic Church. but | have never
been able to find anything back Of a
certain experience which | underwent
during my high school course in my
native town At that time there was
in the library of the school a book
highly insulting to Catholicism, a
most violently. biased account Of the
Protestant Reformation. The book
was fully illustrated and, being young
and with mind most impressionable,
| used to spend much time reading
the text of that vile volume and look
ing at its melodramatic Illustrations,
wondering at the same time how any
body could be so deluded and ignor-
ant and childish as to believe any
thing that the Catholic Church taught.
How long this state Of mind lasted,
| cannot say, but fortunately for me,
before many months began to find
within myself an awakening Of inter
est as to, just what the Church really
was. To be sure this curiosity ex-
tended over a. number oflyears, and
the. whole thing gradually unfolded it
self to me in truly remarkable way,
for it is to. be remembered that all
this. time, and for years afterwards,
| was continually surrounded by the
most intense Protestant influence.
But whenever CHANGED to attend d
Catholic service, it. was invaribly the
case that Il came away much im=
pressed and wondering more than
Fever how, il the faith that ! had just
heard taught was false faith, the
name and spirit of Our Divine Lord
should occupy such a very prominent
place in it. Thus it was that / was
gradually brought to the fact that the
book that / had read. long before in
my school days was the work of the
devil, and that the religion that had
become Interested in because of haV-.
ing read of it's being so terribly de-.
famed, was in reality the faith estab-
l lsl by Our L1 f9r Jesus Christ. d

THE sPRlNGTlME or LIFE.

Tho Maytime Of life comes but
once; second springs are rare eXcep-
tons Though we may know very lit
tie about the laws and secrets of ma
ture, we fully. realize the Importance
Of Towering time. What spring is in
the natural order, youth is not only in
the same, but even more So in the
supernatural order. When a tree
stands in full bloom, we have no alb
solute security for the fruits it will
bear in fall; but il there are no bios
SONS at all, then we are absolutely
sure that therell be no fruit in au-
tumn The same holds true of man
A young man., or young. woman, may
have fine principles, and good habits
they may enjoy and even understand
the nobler things of life; they may
have what we call-religious sense, and
may strive to a certain degree to per-
feet themselves; in word, their ideal
is some day to be fine citizens and
good Christians. Now, these things,
you will admit, are all very good, but
these are only the buds and blossoms
of Maytime, These ideals, principles
and good resolutions have not yet
ripened into fruit. Summer heat and
storms, as well as early frOsts, may
| come, A noble.minded young man
has splendid chances nowadays to
ruin himself in the ripper years Of
manhood if he isn't on his guard. On
the other hand, they who have care
| lessly squandered the Maytime of life
may have saved few frost-bitten
| blossoms; but, as a rule, these will
seldom reach the goal for which man
was created. =
This is merely lesson taught by
universal experience. Young men
very often deceive themselves; they
start Off on the journey Of life, On
the sO-ca!led sidc-tracks, and they fiat
ter themselves that they can keep
! one eye on the main track, turn the
| switches later on, and make up for
lost time by putting on more steam!
Experience, that wonderful lamp,
| by which our feet should be guided,
teaches the contrary. The wrecks
| caused by this mode of thinking and
| living are numberlesse 1t does hap
pen, sometimes, that a man in later
years, realizes what a fool he has
made of himself; he must, however,
be made Of exceptionally good metal
| if ne is going, to unfool himself I'M
less he. has the abnormal courage to
face the world and former boon com
panions. he'll run, or walk along in
| the same. old rut and say-too late!
Some apple trees bloom in October
hut they never yield fruit.
Sometimes, too, man will discon-
tinue the pleasures Of bar-room
| life; he'll begin to work and to save
with all earnestness and sincerity
he'll become tame in the eyes OF the
world, because his family is on the in
crease, and Still he may be tameless
in the eyes aad hands OF God! The
real essence Of evil. selfshness and
the striving for all that was merely
! earthly, remains whilst all that is
good, the love of God and the faithful
obedience to His laws, are. entirely
| lacking, just as in younger. days.
| have met with men on their death
bees. who after careful preparation
for death, forgot they were at the
| gates Of eternity and bewailed the
| rainy weather because the potato crop
| would spoil

WAMRERC'S PHARMACY


The electric siren was installed
last week and after being connect
ed up was tested out to see if
everything was in good shape.
1t certainly has a great capacity
for noise making and should be
able to arouse most anyone any
time any place within a reason
able distance. While the tests
were being made a farmer over a
mile out Of town called up the
central office to find out what all
the disturbance was about.
B. T. Kraabel arrived Saturday
from Montana and has started to
put his store building in shape
for occupancy. He has a carload
of fixtures on the way and also
has placed orders for a complete
stock of new goods both in groc-
cry and dry goods lines. During
the year that Mr.. Kraabel has
been in Montana the patrons in
Hope and vicinity have missed
his store and he is being heartily
welcomed now that he has decided
to return. Watch the advertise
ments in the Pioneer for the an
nounccmcnt of his opening date.
my Four Years In Germany"
Ambassador Gcrard's account of
his observations in the German
Court and in Germany during his
residence there prior to the en-
trance of the u. S. into the war,
has been produced in the movies
and the films will be shown at the
Bi.iou Theatre on Friday and Sat
urday nights. A number Of our
readers have seen these films in
the cities and they speak very
highly of them. After seeing the
picture, President Wilson said:
"Let the American people see
this picture and Kaiserism will be
wiped from the face Of the
earth"
Capt. r. E. Young, who is in
command Of the Hope Shock
troop, has been maneuvcring his
men very skillfully the past week
and has recovered a large amount
of territory which had been left
in shocking condition by the bin
ders. A number of engagements
have been satisfactorily complet-
ed and a number more + anti
cipated before harvest is com
pleted. Recruits are joining the
ranks daily and a hundred acres
an evening will be an easy matter
before this paper is issued. The
only supplies required by the
troop is plenty Of water. They
go to work at 700 o'clock and
quit at 10 100. The proceeds OF
their engagements will be donated
to the Red Cross.

HAVE YOU MADE GOOD

Correspondents with the Perish
ing troops in France declare that
the first question Of the wounded
American soldier, on coming out
of the ether sleep, is almost in
variably: ''HAVE 1 MADE
|GOOD?"
The field hospital facilities with
the American troops are splendid
ly efficient, and it often happens
that a man struck down in battle
is carried quickly to the rear, that
he does not regain full conscious
ness until after the operation.
Then he gradually a%wakens, to
find himself between clean sheets:
with the Whitehead figure Of a Red
Cross nurse bending over him.
At such moments, the human
mind is incapable Of pose or pre-
tense. The brain acts automatical-
ly; the lips speak.
And there is something intense
ly, peculiarly American in the
question:
The wounded nephew Of Uncle
Sam does not ask how badly he
has been hit, or whether he is 60
ing to get we'll. Nor does he
ask-frst of all-whether his
company or his regiment has at
tanned it's objective. He seems to
take that for granted.
His interest and responsibility
are personal. Though never fail
ling in teamwork, he is the SUI
preme type Of individual fighter.
Modestly, yet profoundly, he
feels that it is up to him to "make
good"
Our boys are making good:
"Over There" They are keeping
their pledge to Uncle Sam.
Have we made good our pledge
to Uncle Sam? Are.we buying
War Savings Stamps regularly?
Are we doing as much in proper
ton as the American soldier to
help win this war?
This question can only be
answered by yourself.
"HAVE I MADE GOOD?"
