A well-known physician, whose spe-
cialty was physical diagnosis, required
his patients, before entering his pri-
vate consultation room, to divest
themselves of all superfuous clothing
in order to save time. One day man
presented himself without having COM
piled with this requirement.
"Why do you come in here without
complying with my rules?" demanded
the doctor. "Just step into that side
room and remove your clothing, and
then I'll see you. Next patient,
please!"
The man did as requested, and after
a time presented himself in regular
order duly divested Of his clothing.

Catholic Principles viii
Play Important Part
Cardinal Bourne of London Gives
Eight Points to Engineering Fra
ternity of Great Britain.

The Cardinal Archbishop of West
minister, London, England, has been
further invited to contribute mes
sage on social topics by an important
firm of engineers in England, the
Messrs. Beardmore & Sons. The mes.
sage of His Eminence, which is ad-
dressed to the whole engineering fra
ternity of Great Britain, consists of
eight points for consideration:
(D "Human life, gift from God,
must be protected and developed ac-
cording to Gods purpose. Every indi-
vidual, endowed with an immortal
soul, is of supreme worth and dignity,
and must never be used as a mere
means to the production of wealth.
(2) "Man has right to such return
from his honest labor as will provide
a reasonable standard of life.
(3) "He should have a home to. live
in, not hovel; and such opportunities
as will enable him to lead healthy,
human life and develop his body and
mind.
(4) Education should not aim mere.
ly at making men better instruments
of production; it should bring out
what is best in them, physically, men
tally, morally and spiritually.
(5) "The rights of the individual
must be jealously maintained against
undue State interference or class dom.
ination.
(6) "There can be no rights with.
out duties, and no healthy society
without authority and discipline. We
should support rightful authority and
maintain discipline, not from fear OF
favor, but because it is the right thing
to do.
CD Society should not be strug
gle Of competing individuals or classes
but close-knit human brotherhood OF
mutual service.
(s) "The aim of that society should
be human welfare, and not merely the
production or acquisition of wealth.
"Such are the principles" concludes
the Cardinal, "that should guide us in
our great task of social reconstruc
tion. If they were sincerely adopted
the effects would be far-reaching. The
foundations of society would be Sc
cure. We could then erect a social
and political fabric such as the world
has never seen."

German Press
Admits Claim
Laments the Fact That All the Cath
= olie Peoples Outside the Central
Powers Are in Arms Against Their
Aims.
The "Passau Donauzeitung" tackles

The "PaSSau DOnauzeltung" tackles
the subject openly
Gwen in the ranks of the clergy
there are ever more frequent express
sions of anxiety about a possible
alienation from Rome; they fear that,
in view of the great rise of national
sentiment in the war, the attachment
of the Catholics to the Holy See is
slowly growing cold. They fear this
all the more because they conclude
from certain events that the Entente
powers are making attempts to obtain
influence upon the policy of Rome"
The plain fact is is dawning upon
the German peoples; fact which is
admitted by the Vienna "Arbeiter
Zeitung," that with the exception of
the German Catholics, all the Catho-
lie peoples of the world are on the
side of the Entente, and, says this
journal, it is useless for the German
Catholics in Austria to fight against
the inevitable. The day is past when
the propagandists of Germany hoped
to bring dissension into the ranks of
the Entente peoples by depicting a
non-existent holding off by the Catho-
lies. The religious statistics of the
American forces, for one thing, have
quite dispelled that idea, even if it
had any real existence. The forces Of
| Catholicism are arrayed in arms
against Germany and her allies, and
the Catholic peoples within the Cen
trail empires are finding that their re-
ligious compatriots of practically the
entire world are in opposition to them
and for which they are standing.
The "Postzeitung" of Augsburg a
few days ago pointed out to it's read
ers that the Vatican has the whole
world in it's purview, not forgetting
North America as we'll as Russia.
This newspaper says:
"In comparison with these tremen-
dous duties, what is the importance
of the Vatican's little Catholic branch
in Protestant Germany? *** When
the Catholics of Germany are discuss
ing their future political re-arienta-
!. tion, they should also ventilate the
,question whether their salvation in
future does not lie in the remuneration
of certain national aspirations and in
| a stronger and more deliberate at
tachment to the policy of Rome"

poral gain, or other worldly advan-

The Code of Canon Law which came
into force on Pentecost Sunday, 1918,
tells us what is the mind Of the
Church in so grave a matter as edu.
cation.
Canon lib says: parents are bound
by a most serious obligation to pro.
cure as far as possible, the religious,
moral, physical, and civil education of
their children, and also to provide for
their temporal welfare"
The Catholic parent or guardian is
bound by natural and ecclesiastical
law to provide for the proper develop.
ment of the child that it may become
a good citizen Of the kingdom of God
and good citizen of the state.
In Canon 1872, the primal right and
duty of parents to educate their chill
dren is once more affirmed: "All the
faithful are to be trained from child
hood in such manner that not only
is nothing to be taught them which
is opposed to the Catholic religion
and integrity of morals, but that re-
ligion and moral trainig hold the first
place."
"The right and the most grave duty
of giving children a Christian educa-
tion belongs not only to parents, &C.
cording to Canon lib, but also to all
those who hold their place."
Canon 1874 enacts: Catholic chill
dren must not attend nom Catholic,
neutral, mixed schools, which are
open to non-Cathohcs. It is for the
Bishop Of the diocese alone to deter
mine, in conformity with the instruc-
tion Of the Holy See, in what circum-
stances and with what safeguards
against the danger of perversion the
frequentation Of such schools may be

Every speaker, from the chairman,

candidate for United States senator,
to the woman representative of ST.
berian Soviet, had words of praise for
the Bolsheviki. None had words of
appreciation for Americas part in the

The collection of funds for United
War Work was denounced and the
Socialists were urged to withhold
money from this work, and contribute
it to fund for Socialistic propaganda.
Allied forces in Siberia were criti-
cised for taking the guns and bayo-

HOW Times. have
CHANGED OPINION
The Passing Fashion In German
kuItur.

Only few years ago non-Catholic
writer's were claiming that "the most
progressive nations in the world to.
day, foremost in civilization, are the
Protestant nations" Up to Septem-
ber, 1914, Germany was admitted by
Protestant writer's to be the most
Protestant country on earth. The
"home of Professionalism" and "the
birthplace of Professionalism" Carlyle
called Germany.
Prussia (where the world war was
Matched, and where another important
event was hatched in the sixteenth
century, stands out in front, Number
One, in the Protestant world. 1t is
amusing now to read some of the
books and speeches written and de-
nvered by English and American
Protestant controversialists prior to
the fatal year Of 1914. In most Of
them you will find Germany pointed
out as leading in civilization because
she was Protestant, and held up, as
an example, to the Catholic countries
of Europe.
Go through the files of non-C Catholic
newspapers and magazines published
in 1870 and 1871, and read of the de-
lirium of insolent Joy in anti-Catholic
circles when the news of Frances hui
initiation was published. Protestant
publications in the United States
hailed the "good" news as q victory
for Professionalism. Outside of the
columns Of the struggling Catholic
press Of the United States there was
scarcely anything published about
bleeding France" and "our debt to

happened in England. Turn to your

IL, 1914, printed a special cable from
Paris carrying extracts from an arti-
Gle in the Figaro upon a series Of
prophecies allaged to have been writ
ten by monk three centuries before
the outbreak of the war. These al
legged prophecies forsaw many of the
events and conditions of the war and
are reprinted so that comparison of
the text with recent events may be
made. The special cable said:
Paris, Sept. 1O.-The Figaro, which
Is now issuing a small edition In Bor-
deaux, besides its usual four pages in
Paris. on its first page publishes an
extraordinary tranlation of a Latin
prophecy alleged to have been writ
ten by monk, Brother Johannes, in
the year 1900, describing the destruc-
tion of Antichrist in great war. Fol-
lowing are some significant passages:
"The real Antichrist will be one of
the monarchs of his time. A son Of
Luther will invoke God, proclaiming
himself his envoy. He will have only
one arm. His armies, which will ap-
pear innumerable, will take for their
device the words, God with u.s. (the
motto actually stamped on the Prus-
SLAMS belts.) He will long act by ruse
and treachery, and his spies will over
run the earth, but war will furnish
the occasion for his throwing off the
mask-not that war waged against
the French monarchy, but another cas-.
lily recognized, because in two weeks
it will become universal, bringing into
battle the most distant peoples. Ar.
mics will form at the four corners of
the earth. Antichrist will massacre
priests, woman, children, and the aged
He will show no mercy, holding the
torch like the barbarians, but invok.
ing Christ. There will be an eagle in
his arms, also in those of his acolyte,
the other bad monch, who, Christ
ian, will die through the curse of Pope
l
"To conquer Antichrist more men
must be killed than Rome held. 1t will
require the efforts of all the king
doms. This will happen twenty cen.
turies after the incarnation of Gods
word"
The prophecy is contributed by a
writer signing himself "Peladan,'
who, after showing it's application to
the present war, says that it is only
the. first part and that he will give
the rest later The Figaro makes nc
comment.
The Petit Journal prints another
prediction said to have appeared early
this year in an almanac published in
the Indian native state of Jodpore and
to have been brought to the editors
notice by Hindu named Varma, liv.
