Why He Omitted Morning Prayer
While reading the letter entitled 'Abid-
ing Faith" in today's "Sun" it &C.
Cured to me to inquire through your
columns whether these old gentlemen
and "Old Girls" ever say any morning
prayers. There is large number of
Christian people in the various sects
who seem to know nothing of offering
to God the first fruits Of the day. From
the time they arise till they are about
to retire money is their god; which
having been duly worshipped for'ten or
twelve consecutive hours, they do not
begrudge five minutes to the Almighty,
expecting in return to gain His protec-
ton during the "still and solemn
hours" of night They are like the
little boy who explained why he never
said any prayer except when he was
about to retire, viz, that he was able
to take care of "his own self" in the
daytime.
While the evening prayer should not
be omitted, the morning is the more
appropriate time to bow in alteration
to the Supreme Being and give Him
our first thoughts. Then may we con-
fidently expect His blessings on our
labors in the day before us.-J. e. s.,
in the New York Sun.
Anti-Catholic Drive In Canada
sell, Ont, and Secretary of State dur
ing the last three years of Sir Wilfred
Laurier's administration, followed Sir
Robert Borden in the debate on the
address in the House of Commons
March 10. Portions of Mr.. Murphy's
speech have special reference to the
anti Catholic character of the cam
paign, and to the utterly unfounded
charge made by Mr.. Rowell against
the members of the Religious Orders
from France who had taken refuge in
the Province of Quebec. In our last
issue, says the Canadian New Free
man, we made reference to the present
construction of the Federal Cabinet
along almost exclusively Protestant
lines utterly regardless of the fact that
the Catholic body in Canada is almost
one-half the entire population of the
Dominion. Forty per cent of the peo

but two new members, still leaving the
Catholic body with but three instead
of nine Cabinet Ministers-their due
proportion. We stated, as anyone who
knows his Canada is fully aware, that
| Quebec is not Catholic Canada, and
that Catholic representation from but
one Province in Canada is hardly in
line with good government.

Can Catholic Judge Grant d.
vorce?-Neither a Catholic judge nor
a Protestant nor any other kind, of
judge can grant divorce. But we
must distinguish between real "di-
vorce' and decision under the civil
law. A Catholic judge in his official
capacity is compelled to sit in divorce
cases. He is allowed to state the law
and it's application to the particular
case placed before him. His judgment
is that under certain circumstances set
before him the bond of marriage is
declared dissolved by civil authority.
He merely pronounces and grants le-
gal immunity to the parties if they
attempt to contract a marriage during
the lifetime of the two. He does not,
because he cannot, grant them. the
right to contract another valid mar
riage. The law which makes the bond
of marriage indssoluble is a law of
God, and He alone can dispense or alb
rogate it.-Sydney Catholic Press.
Catholic Archbishops Approve We'll

Catholic War Council, meeting in

Councils were suggested for every do
cese to assist local authorities in pre-
serving decent camp environments,
