AIDING THE POOR SOULS.

The Church has dedicated the en-
tire month of November to the COM
memoration of the Poor Souls, says
the Mission Message. While we should
ever be mindful of the suffering souls,
daily offering up prayers and good
works in their behalf, during Novem-
BERN compliance with the spirit of
the Church - we should especially
come to their relief, offering up our
good works in atonement for the petty
faults for which they must suffer.
Now, since the Holy Sacrifice is the
only perfect work of atonement, no
doubt there will be Masses among
your other good works. The giving of
Mass stipends is an excellent way OF
supporting the missionaries. If each
missionary were supplied with a daily
Mass stipend he would be assured OF
the bare necessities of life, and he
would thus be enabled to devote what
ever other aims he might receive to
educational and relief work among
his charges.
But let us remember not only the
dead. Thousands of our brave soldiers
will soon be on the battlefield, fully
aware of their great danger and know
ing that many of their number viii
fall, victims to the cause for which
America has entered the world war.
They rely on our prayers at home.
Therefore, have Holy Masses offered
for them, so that in the din and stress
of battle they may have a special
share in the treasury of graces OBJ
tanned by Holy Mass.
You will yourselves experience the
benefits of the Holy Sacrifice and
your almsgiying will receive its re-
ward. And how great viii be the con
ISOLATION Of the relatives of those cor
whom your prayers and Masses are DC.

THE LATE CONFER.

Perhaps one of the most unseemly
and annoying spectacles in church is
that of the late conner clambering over
others in getting in and out of pew.
l have seen. four people settled in one
of our church pews which holds five.
When the fifth comes along, instead
of moving in and letting her take the
outside seat, they all rise and bunch
themselves against the seat and COM
pei the newcomer to climb in on the
kneeling bench across them to the
very inside seat. In any case, the eff
feet is awkward in the extreme, but
when the last conner is large, heavy
woman, it is atrocious.
Then comes similar performance
at Communion time. The person oc-
eupying the last seat in the pew may
be the only communicate. 1t is bad
enough to make her climb out over all
the rest to approach the altar, but rev.
erence for the Sacred Presence should
prevent the other occupiers of the pew
from compelling her to get back the
Same way.
1t seems to be an unwritten law
among us that when there are, men
and women in the same pew the men
should occupy the outside seats.
If a woman comes after the pew is
fairly we'll filled, it is easy for the man
occupying the very outside place te
step out in the aisle while she takes
the next place to him, but it is not
necessary for the two or three mer
who may be in the pew to do so, just
| to give her the farther end.
But if a woman chance to have the
outside place or to be alone in the
pew, she simply moves in for eacl
newcomer till the pew is filled.

"HIcKoRY" CATHOLICS.

There are in every parish some
Catholics who are constantly finding
fault with the priest and the priests
actions, says the Almanac of the
Sacred Heart Those who pay their
pew rent promptly are not among
the grumblers. The people who con-
tribute according to their means to
every special collection are not among
the fault-fnders. The people who be
long to the church societies, who take
part in the fairs and entertainments
and on every possible occasion assist
their pastor, are not among the NUT
terers. The people who willingly send
their children to a Catholic school are
not among the discontinued, The PEG
pie who take into their homes a sound
Catholic paper are not apt to make i'll
natured complainants.
AS a rule, the surly critics in 9
parish are hickory" Catholics; the
further they are from grace the more
fault they have to find. The best
way for them to start a reformation
in congregation is to reform them
selves.

sons who died before they attain the
use of reason can save their souls,
says Archbishop Moeller. The divine
ly-enlightened Fathers and Doctors of
the Church teach that sinners, in order
to rise from the grave of sin, to break
the fetter of enslaving vice and return
to the loving embrace of God and per-
severe in His friendship, must pray.
Who" asks Saint Augustine, can
maintain that he is living holly p"
He" replies the holy Doctor, who
prays WE'LL ''As the body" he con-
tinues, without food cannot live, thus
also the soul cannot remain in the
state of grace without prayer"
The eloquent Saint John Chrysostom,
to illustrate the indispensable neces-
sity of prayer, makes use of variety
of apt symbols. Consider" he ex-
horts, "a plant that is not watered,
and you will find that it will soon
wither and produce no fruit; so, too,
the soul that is not invigorated with
the refreshing dew of prayer will die
and produce no good works
observe a house that is not built
on solid foundation, and you will
find it will soon crumble into a mass
of shapeless ruins; SO, too, the soul
deprived of the support that comes
from prayer cannot continue its right
eousness, but will fall lower and lower
into the grave of sin and vice, until
it is buried in the abyss of eternal
ruin"
Saint Francis de Sales hesitates not
to make this striking statement: THE
man who prays well is a good Chris
tian, the man who prays badly is bad
Christian and the man who does not
pray is no Christian at ALL"
The words and deeds of Christ and
the Apostles, the example of the
Christians of the first and succeeding
generations, the teachings of the Fa-
theirs and Doctors of the Church, all
with one voice teach and proclaim the
absolute need of prayer on the part of
us poor banished children of Eve if we
desire to reach the haven of eternal
bliss.

LIFE IN THE DEAD SEA.

The Dead Sea is not so dead as
it has been painted, if we are to be-
lieye recent lecturer, before the
Royal Geographical Society, DR.. w.
G. Masterton He is thus quoted in
The World of Science, London:
Ancient writer's established myth
that the Dead Sea was an abode of
death. that its shores we're sterile,
and that even birds flying over its
water were liable to fall dead. All
these ideas are now known to be the
reverse of the truth 1t was true that
the waters were so permeated with
salt that no animal or vegetable life
could flourish in the bulk of its vol
ume, but. near the shores, where
streams of brackish water found their
way into the sea, small fish, crabs,
and mosquito larvae We're found, and
he had seen fish in the sea. a bottle
of water taken from the same spot

ORIGIN OF WORD LADY.

The origin of the word "lady" is
thus described by the Catholic Sun of
Syracuse:
We have read recently that the word
lady" originated in way that would
put to shame some of the modern ways
in which the title is used. 1t gives
us a return to the care given to the
poor and suffering. The woman of the
house, a substantial home, gave away
a loaf of bread to all who came to her
door The day was called ''Laef Day, y
and gradually the term lady grew
out of this and the title would really
mean the giyer of bread. 1t has a
fullness of blessing in such a title
that carries something all other defini-
tions of the word must miss.

PERSECUTION IN AMERICA.

Many Catholics in the United States
fancy that the Church in this country
is immune from persecution and that
the trials and tribulations she has
encountered in other lands will not
occur here, says The Catholic Herald.
There is nothing in the past history
of the country to lead to any such
conclusion, because we have had per-
secutions here many times in the past,
from Colonial days, when to be a
Catholic was to risk your life and lose
your liberty, down through the days of
the Revolution; in the early days of
the republic, during which, in several
states, Catholics were deprived of
their rights, as in New Hampshire;
so on to the era of the Knownothings,
and later the A. p AS.
1t is true that except during the
Colonial period there was no official
maltreatment of Catholics or proscrip-
ton of their religion, but converts
were stormed, priests and religious
maltreated, the Faith insulted. And
never in the history of the country has
the Catholic been on a perfect politi-
cal equality with his Protestant neigh
Dor, in fact, though perhaps he has
been nominally.
Nor should we forget that persecu-
tions being inspired by the devil are
as multifarous in character and as
subtle in methods as everything else
conceived by Satan. Thus, in one land
the prosecutions, as in Armenia and
in the early days of the Church, were
of the most murderous and terrible
character, wholesale massacres, in
fact; in another they were carried
out as in England under the Tudors,
through courts and legal means; again
they consist in the suppression of re-
ligion and the confcation of property,
as in France; and again they are hid
den under the guise of moral move
ments, as, for example, the effort to
suppress the use of wine in the Mass,
which is now in progress in several OF
the states of this Union today.
1t is the last system; the quiet, in
sidious, subtle methods, carefully cam
ouflaged under the pretense of advanc-
ing the cause of morality or of uplift-
ing the state, which is the method his
satanic majesty is likely to follow
here in the United States, and Cath
Olics cannot be too careful to watch
his every movement that he does not
strike a blow at the Church and re-
ligion while pretending to be the
friend of both.
Too often, through thoughtlessness,
ignorance and Indifference, Catholics
aid movements which do incalculable
harm to religion without realizing the
evil they are aiding.

A WELL AUTHENTICATED RELIC

The iron bell which was once the
property of st. Patrick is one of the
Observation-Disclosures and oldest relics
that have descended to u.s. It's his
tory covers a period of years. 1t is
formed of two pieces of sheet-iron,
which are bent so that they meet, and
are fastened together with large riv-
cts. Some bronze was also used in
it's construction, which contributed to
it's preservation and helped to make
it's tone more sweet. - :
The beautiful shrine, or covering,
by which this relic was protected is
also in existence. AS early as the
eleventh century these shrines began
to be used, and no decoration or ma
teriaT was thought too fine to employ
in their manufacture. This particu-
lar shrine, one of the most beauti-
full known, was probably made about
the beginning of the twelfth century,
and is wonderful specimen of the
goldsmith's art. In it we see brass,
silver and gold, wrought in plates
anu the Iu6SI HISI6Ss WOth, WulAG
rich gems lend their aid in making
it beautiful and valuable. In accord
ance with an old custom, this shrine
was for centuries in the care of a
certain family, who acted as it's keep
ers and were rewarded by the crown.
Both bell and shrine are now pre-
served in the Royal Academy, Dublin.

MERIT OF HIGH MASS AND LOW

We learn to live and live to learn.
And we have lived to see this explain
alton in a usually intelligent Protes-
tant paper, The Continent:
''Of course, Catholics go to Mass bet
ter than Protestants go to communion.
And there is very plain reason for it.
The priests represent to, their people
that coming to Mass is an act of re-
ligious merit going far to cancel all
their sins, and the people take it as an
easy way of getting square with God
without any trouble to speak of.
Who says religious controversy is
devoid of humor? The Continent edi
tor will kindly contain himself if we
suggest that further developing his
very original idea, he show that Cath
olfcs go to High Mass to cancel NOR
| tai sins and to Low Mass to eradicate
venial sins.

AN OBJECTION ANSWERED.

One of the greatest difficulties even
with in regard to the dogma of eter-
nal punishment is this: How can any
one be happy in heaven, knowing that
those or some of those whom one has
loved best on earth "a parent, hus-
band, wife, child, etc. are suffering
eternal torments in hell?
Mr.. J. Godfrey Raupert, in his little
book on Hell and It's Problems"
meets this objection as follows:
1T is conceivable that the affections
of earth will experience a considerable
change when we shall learn to dis
tinguish between Divine and human
love, and when we see things in their
right proportions We love a person
here on earth because of that per
sons character and apparent perfec
tions. But we may be grievously mis-
taken respecting them and may re-
gard that as virtue which, from the
Divine standpoint, is not virtue at
all, but self-loye and selfshness. A
perverted nature may, as we all know,
be melted to love even by vice. We
cannot, for instance, conceive of a
saint loving those whose inner nature
is alienated from God, and whose char
aCter, however attractive from the
human point of view, has no beauty
or attractiveness from Gods point of
view He could not love them any
longer, since God loves them no long
er. Here on earth, we cannot possibly
form an accurate judgment of any
character, and cannot, therefore, say
that this person or the other has
reached a condition Of soul which rem
ders him no longer worthy of esteem
and love. We experience a difficulty
in conceiving of a fixed and final state
of the soul. We look upon every per-
son as capable of improvement, and
here and now Christianity extends its
arms of mercy to the most debased
and unworthy of men. 1t is our duty,
therefore, to exercise active love
toward every man, even though he
may have forfeited all claim to our
respect. But the case will be very
different in the other world, and after
the Judgment. Earthly love there will
have changed its character, and will
have become transformed. 1t will
view all things in a wholly different
light, and from the standpoint of a
wider knowledge and a more perfect
discernment. And it is surely con-
cefvab1e that, in the light of that per-
feet love, the souls nature will ex-
perience such radical transforms
ton that the attachment and affec-
lions of earth will no longer hinder its
most perfect peace and its enjoyment
of unaaoyed happiness"

A Stacker.

He only gave what he had to give,
And never penny more.
He had no aims for the poor and old,
Who came to beg at his door.
He only spoke when he had to speak,
Kind words we're to him unknown.
For what cared he for the heavy heart
BY sorrow burdened, alone?
He only prayed when he had to pray,
In his pew where all could see,
But he never said deep down in his
heart,
o Lord, have mercy on me!
He died one day, when he had to die,
Butthere gathered around his bed,
No plying angels to soothe his pain,
No Mother to quell his dread.
When he stood at last before the
Judge,
To hear that dire decree,
His hands were empty-he could but
say,
o Lord, have mercy on me!

PLATING
parture from England.

parture from England.
'One morning | entered the Church
of Saint Louis of France. The Blessed
affairs, probably on account of a
novena. There was nothing out of the
ordinary: few candles were burning,
the priests vested only in their sur
plices, knelt in the sanctuary; and a
few of the faithful were praying in the
church.
Nothing of the pomp of Saint
Peters was there; but it was God S
time. | felt in my heart mysterious
emotion, partly illumination, partly at
traction. For the first time in my
life it appeared to me that truth might
be here, and that possibly might one
day become Catholic.
But l was not yet converted 1t
was merely the call of God, and was
still far from the truth. l did not re-
iect the call; but l prayed, l sought
and studied with all the sincerity of
which | was, capable. Light increased
from day to day, and grace accom-
pIished the rest"
Considered from a temporal point of
view, no conversion could have been
connected with more disadvantages.
There was for a clergyman and a
scholar no more agreeable position
than that of Archdeacon Manning. AS
a dignitary of the Anglican church he
possessed riches, influence and a prom
inent position; genius, fame and
friends we're his. These were all lost
on entering. the Church of Rome; but,
as he said, he hardened to the voice
of God calling him.

WHY WE GO TO CONFESSION.

Penance is the sacrament in which
the sins committed after baptism are
forgiven. Penance consists of contri-
ton, confession and satisfaction. Con-
triton is sorrow for sin and firm
resolve to sin no more; confession is
telling our sins to duly authorized
priest for the purpose of obtaining
forgiveness; and satisfaction is salts
flying the divine justice for sins COM
mitted. The one, therefore, who re-
ceives this sacrament worthily must
make an earnest effort to find out his
sins; must be sorry for them, and
make up his mind not to commit them
again; must confess them to the
priest and perform the penance which
he imposes. This penance should be
performed faithfully, and as soon as
possible.
The power of forgiving sins was
given by our Lord to the priests of
His Church when He spoke these
memorable words: Receive ye the
Holy Ghost, whose sins you shall for
give, they are forgiven them; and
whose sins you shall retain, they are
retained" 1t is evident that our Lord
here Instituted penance on the form
of judicial tribunal. The priest is
a Judge who hears the offerse (for
this reason he must know the sin,
hence the necessity of confessing it,,
passes judgment by forgiving or not,
imposes a punishment and prescribes
a remedy. The penitent is the accuser
of self, and the advocate of his own
cause. He should abide by the SEN
tence, as all Catholics do.

''Ah, but your watch is wrong" said

lean students have often scraped and
saved that they might go to Germany
to sit at the feet of the able and
learned professors who had devoted
their undoubted scholarships and en-
ergies, not to uplifting the souls of
their fellowmen towards God, but to
the satanic task of eradicating the
remnants of Christian faith from mems
hearts and filling the. void with soul
wrecking doubts that rob men of peace
in life and of hope in death.
These young men have returned to
America. They went abroad with at
least confused belief in part or all
of the fundamental doctrines of Chris
tianity. They have come back with
their mouths full of scientific jargon
and mind tainted with the unbelief of
their German teachers.
They could have found Christ in
Germany; they could have heard the
divine story from noble Christian men
they could have found Catholic Ger
man scientists, than whom there are
none greater; but they wanted to alb
sOrb this so-called German kultur from
men who were strong minded" enough
to criticise the Bible and sheer at it's
revelations.
They came home emancipated from
the yoke of Christ, and then posed as
intellectuals. We have them in our
universities and in view of the present
aspect of German kultur, it is per-
MISSILE to ask if these men, with the
intidel doctrines they imbibed in Ger
man universities, are fit men to en-
trust with the education of our young
Christian men and women.
