If you want to live in the kind Of a

Like the kind of a town you like
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's knock at yourself when you knock
your town,
It isn't your town-it's you,
Lest somebody gets ahead,
When everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if you while you make your person.

On August Is, 1868, Father
James Gibbons of Baltimore, was
consecrated a Bishop of the Cath

week James Cardinal Gibbons
completes fifty golden years in
the Episcopate.
For many persons a jubilee of
years means simply that they have
passed more or less monotonous
existence for a certain period Of
time. The occasion of the jubilee
but marks pause in their onward
progress towards the grave.
Looking back in retrospect such
persons behold nothing to indicate
that the world is wiser or better
for their continued presence
therein. The span of their lives
has covered only the little incl
dents that are given to ordinary
mortals- The jubilee itself is
made an occasion for celebrating
the simple fact that they have

OBSERVING THE LAW.

In a recent address before the
Catholic Educational Association
at San Francisco, Archbishop
Hanna expressed himself as fol
lows in reference to law, liberty
and democracy:
Often where liberty abounds
there is a tendency to believe that
freedom means the privilege Of
doing as one pleases. No matter
how much we desire to follow the
passing Whim, the thoughtful man
must know that the full enjoyment
of freedom is only possible in the
reign Of law, which is ever Rea-
son s Ordinance, and so true is this
that Rome's greatest genius de-
fines the liberty-loving man as the
the Slave Of Law. True, in our
democracy, the law represents the
will and good pleasure of the gov
erned, but can we leave the OBJ
servance of the law to the tickle
fancy Of each individual? When
passion stirs and personal inter
est urges, will he still obey? Only
when men recognize that man s
law is the reflection of God S
eternal ordinance; only when men
know that all authority comes
from God; only when men see in
the law-giving body representa-
tives Of the Most High; only when
men obey because God speaks I'M
to them in those who rule, will
there come in the reign Of law,
without which no government can
endure. Again, only religion, yea
more, only the religion of Christ,
has brought men to recognize the
supremacy Of law, as the reflection
of the mind and will Of God Him
