Canadian Catholics Busy

The Catholics of Canada are accom-
plishing much in welfare work for the
soldiers of the dominion serving in
Europe, according to recent report
received by the Knights of Column
bus Committee on War Activities.
Eight hut chapels or recreation
rooms are now being conducted in
England, while two huts and num-
Der of tents are maintained in France.
Others are to be erected without de-
lay. A large amount of church sup
plies have been issued to chaplains
ton are being provided for the men.

There is something you can do
at home, says Bishop Kelley.
Don't let a word be said in harsh
criticism of the Government. | do
not doubt that mistakes have been
made, and perhaps costly ones, but
to make mistakes is human. There
is a frightful load of responsible
ity on the shoulders Of our Presi-
dent. Don't add to it by helping
the yelping band of ours who are
barking at his heels, whether they
be in Congress or here. The issue
is loyalty or treason. There is no
halfway house. We are for the
United States or we are for the
Kaiser.

MOTHERHOOD.

A modern writer states that it is
no eXaggeration to say that the
good mothers Of this generation
are building the homes of the
next generation, and the bad
mothers are building the prisons.
These words sum up neatly the
ultimate results Of home training
as directed by the mother. EX-
ceptions on both sides of the rule
but prove its general truth. Out
side Of religion itself, there is no
other influence in the world SO
holy, so strong and effective as
that Of a good mother. The father
may claim headship in the house
hold, but the mother is the heart
Of the family. The family unit
measures every pulsation from
that heart, and is strengthened or
weakened according to the vigor
Of the heart. Each member of
that small group feels the respon-
sive throb Of every heart beat.
The will Of the father may be ex-
ecuted through fear: love alone is
the response to the mother s de-
SireS.
Nature has so ordained things
that the young of practically all
living species cling to the mother
during the period of weakness.
Man, endowed with rational pow
ers, attributes to the mother not
only his physical being, but also
all those latent influences for good
that arise in his heart when con-
frontcd by temptation. AS the
soldier boy leaves for the field Of
danger, the mothers parting adj
monition, My son, remember
your mother" exerts more power
for good than all the laws and
regulations Of the state. The law
appeals to him as citizen: the
mother speaks to him with the
command Of love as to part of
her very self.
This influence Of the mother
tends every day in the privacy of
the home to mould the character
OF our future men and women.
AS woman she is not faultless
as mother she represents to her
children the very apex of perfec-
ton. Her duty then is to live up
to the high standard Of this ideal
model, and to treat her children
with tenderness, firmness, and a
becoming womanly dignity. Let
her remember that her every word
and action are SO many stones III
the structure of flial worship
which she is erecting in the hearts
of these children. Let there be no
stones married by flaw or defect.
Even as now she holds in her
arms the offspring Of her love, SO
in after years will the stalWart
arm of son or the tender embrace
OF daughter encircle her shrinking
form, and pillow her greyed and
bending head upon a heart that
pulses with love for her alone.
This is the day of the mother.
All honor and glory be hers. The
unfortunate creature who has will
fully deprived herself Of the glory
of motherhood may now hang her
miserable head in abject shame.
God has not blessed all married
persons with these proofs of His
love; but they who have yolun-
ltarny refused this evidence Of di-
vine favor now stand forth as OBJ
jects of scorn before God and
imam.

In Memoriam

Ye Dead! Lie aside,
Make room free and wide
For this sanctified clay,
To thy bosom, o Earth!
Take such harvest as Death
Has ne'er reaped till today.
Take them gently, o Mother!
They died for another,
AS that Elder Brother
Who hung on the tree.
Ring the bells dolefully,
Raise the prayer soulfully,
They paid the toll fully,
Mankind to free.

same principle holds good, even
to a greater extent, today, when
the diffusion of the press offers
such vast variety of false prin-
ciples of conduct and morals.
There is no excuse whatsoever to-
day for a Catholic to be ignorant
OF the position which his Church
holds on every known subject. 1t
is only when he allows himself to
be swayed by human motives or
by alluring theories that he is in
imminent danger of suffering
shipwreck to his faith.

WHAT DOES THE CHURCH
SAY?

From time to time Catholics are
confronted by various problems
in the field of science and econom-
les, Of politics and sociology.
While natural rectitude and a
general knowledge Of one s relig-
ion may be a sufficient guide for
corduct i'll many spheres, it is not
always easy for the Individual
Catholic to know his position on
some given problem. To the man
to whom Christianity and religion
are the paramount issues Of life,
there is always one certain means
of ascertaining the truth. When
the religious element enters such
a problem he will Immediately ask
himself, What does the Church
hold on this subject?
The Catholic Church is pre-emi-
nently a religious organization.
Her object is to offer salvation to
the souls Of men. AS a guiding
principle she never enters any
other field excepting when error
or falsehood in that field makes it
dangerous for her children to
tread therein. She never offers
definite decision in matters of sci
ence, politics or economics. When,
however, these human institutions
for any reason prove source of
danger, by their insidious falla-
cies, to her own doctrines, she i'm
mediately warns her children Of
the peril. Possessing as she does
the deposit Of truth, she never
can permit error to creep into the
lives, the minds, Of those who be-
lieve in her teachings.
If the Church failed to warn her
children of any dangers that may
Turk in their path, she would be
derelict to her duty as a mother
and a guide. False science, fimsy
theories Of economics, or harmful
political teaching frequently make
appeal to our people. The sincere
Catholic will Immediately inquire
rs to the position Of his Church
on a given problem, knowing as
he does that in teaching religious
truth the Church is infallible, and
human truth never can be at vari-
ance with the divine.
For this reason it is clear that
Catholics should be abreast of the
times, and should familiarize
themselves with the teaching of
their Church. Sermons, lectures,
books, newspapers and periodicals
abound for this very purpose.
Every opportunity is offered the
sincere Catholic to know precise
ly what his Church holds in the
matter of divorce, socialism, the
nature of government, and count
less other subjects. If the Catho-
lie permits himself to be led
astray into poisonous pastures,
without consulting the Church s
guide posts along the way, he has
but himself to blame if he subse-
quently suffersspi ritualillness, and
even death itself. st. Peter long
ago warned the faithful that they
shoHldNbe able to give reasons for
| the faith THAT is In them. The

KILLIHG GROUSE
 OUT If SEASON

fl has been said on good authorl- g~ that one party in this city has Killed ten blue grouse within the ,as. few days. and that many oth- r- persons are out daily on the hills killing the game, which is HON out of season and therefore asaiust the law, and any person guilty of killing at this time is sutjsct to 3 fine and Imprisonment.
 Th;s is the mating season of these birds. and it is kucwn that there a.e great quantities to be found on the nearby hills, but it is the duty of the game warden to look in to the matter and prosecute any person who he finds guilty of breaking the law.
 By killing one grouse hen at this time it means the destruction of manE, for it will not be long now hafors the hens would begin laying eggs. and these would be matched within a short time,
 For a number of years the hills in the Skagway district have been almost cleaned out of these birds, and it is only during the past few years that they are again to be found in any quantity. Until they become plentiful they should ba protected. and it is the duty of the local game warden to inVesti- gate and bring the guilty persons tJ justice.

GOOD PAY ON
 WOODCHOPPER

Arrivals from the Hot Springs district are authoity for the state- ment that Woodchopper will be the s,aue of considerable mining activity this summer, it being the intention cf at least one outfit to work On a large scale. Good pay has been uncovered by Fred Jorgenson on the Book ground, adjoining the famous Cleveland & Howell lay, and crew of six men is onw engaged in open Ing uu the property preparatory to the commencement of summer oper- atiops.
 Jorgenson and Cecil H. Clegg the Fairosuks attorney have a lease on the ground in question. Jorgenson is now 'n charge, but it is the In tention of the other partner to nov down to Woodchopper as soon as court business i'll Fairbanks will permit and to devote his entire time to mining. He and Mrs. Clegg will take up their residence on Wocuchopper for the summer.
 The working shaft is 1S6 feet dep and considerable tunnel Work has be~n done during the winter The rsy runs as high as $2.5O to the foot of bedrock and there is a sufficient body of the good dirt 10 insure 3 substantial margin ot profit after deducting the high cost of provisions and other min ing supplies.
 JCrgenson is an oldtimer in the Hot Spring district. He secured the Cleveland & Howell lay, which he sold to that firm for $5,0O0 and which afterwards produced nearly million dollars.
 Whether or. not the firm of CleVe land & Howell will mine extensively in the Hot sprigns district this sum mer had not been decided at the time Mrs. Cleveland left Nenana for th4 lower river camp. She ex- pected to have a conference with Sylvester Howell soon after her ar rival at Hot Springs and she con sider~d it probable that a program of work would be outlined at that time. Much would depend, howeTe she stated, upon labor conditions
 nd the cost of supplies. Under favorable mining conditions, con siderable work doubtless will be done hy them.-The Nenana Daily News.
