church may not hesitate; once let
him assume that a visible and audible
authority is of the essence of religion,
and he has no choice; he must become
or get himself reckoned as a Catholic
The Roman Church assails his I'M
derstanding with invincible charms.
Her sons proudly say to him: "She
alone is Catholic, continuous, veneer
able, august, the very church Christ
founded and His Apostles instituted
and organized. She possesses all the
attributes and notes of Catholicity-
an unbroken apostolic succession, an
infallible chair, unity, sanctity, truth,
an inViolable priesthood, holy sac
rif1ce, and efficacious Sacramento
The Protestant Churches are but of
yesterday, without authority, whose
confused voices but protest their own
insuficiency, whose impotence almost
atones for their own sin of schism by
the way it sets off the might, the maj
esty, and the unity of Rome. In con-
trast, the Catholic Church stands
where her Master placed her on the
Rock, endowed with the prerogatives
and powers He gave her, and against
her the gates Of hell shall not pre-,
vail"
Supernatural grace is hers: il
watched over her cradle, has followed
her in all her ways through all he1
centuries, has not forsaken her yet
She is not, like Professionalism, a con
cession to the negative spirit, and I'm
holy compromise with naturalism
Everything about her is positive and
| transcendant; she is the bearer Of
| divine truth, the representative of di
vine order, the supernatural living ir
| the very heart, and before the very
| fact Of the natural. The saints, too
are hers, and the man she receives
joins their communion, enjoys thei1
godly fellowship, feels their influence
participates in their merit and the
| blessings they distribute Their earth
| ly life made the past of the Church il
lustrious, their heavenly activity binds
the visible and the invisible into unity
and lifts time into eternity To hon
or the saints is to honor sanctity;
the church which, teaches man to live
holy, helps him to love holiness. And
the fathers are hers; their laborings
sufferings, martyrdoms, were for hel
sake; she treasures their words and
their works; her sons alone were able
to say: "Athanasius and Chrysostom
Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus
Cyprian and Augustine, Anselm and
Bernard are ours; their wealth is our
Inheritance; at their feet we learn
filial reverence and divine wisdom"
But, rich as she is in persons, she
is richer in truth; her worship is a
great deep. Hidden sanctities and
meanings surround man; the sacra.
mental principle invests the simplest
things, acts, and rites with an awful
yet blissful significance; turns all wor.
ship into a divine parable, which
speaks the deep things of God, now
into medium of His gracious and
consolatory approach to man, and
mans awed and contrite, hopeful and
prevailing approach to Him. Symbols
are deeper than words; speak when
words become silent; gain where
words lose in meanings; and so in
hours of hottest worship the church
teaches by symbols truth language
may not utter.

her conscience to such thing"
With such an example before their
eyes, we should like to ask our Ameri
can mothers what they think their
daughters are going to be. And we
should like also to draw attention to
the injustice of those Catholics who
wonder why converts succeed in do,

American parent, feminine gender, is
sufficient answer to that.

MAY NOW EAT
ALL SUGAR HE GRAVES

All sugar restrictions have been
lifted in Tennessee, according to adj
vices received by Supt. Allen, county
food administrator, from the state
food controller. Consumers may
now buy as much sugar as their re-
quirements call for. The sudden
lifting Of the ban was necessitated by
congestion in the sugar districts Of
ma. In order to relieve this
congestion and get the surplus sugar
out Of the refners' way, Tennessee
people will be allowed to take their
old time supplies again. The re-
striction was not to have been lifted
until some time later, the three
pound per person limit having been
considered as sufficient for the holt
day consumption.

Dear Homefolks So
At last | have chance to write
you a few lines. Guess you have
heard about CarPs death. 1t almost
kills me every time | think about it,
but have seen so much killing that
it doesn't affect me like it once did.
When we came out of the trenches
we had~been exactly one month. We
went "over the top" four times. 1t
was on the morning of October 9Th,
as we were going lover the top" the
second time, that Carl was hit by a
piece of shrapnel-he died few
days later. | wrote Brandon's just
as soon as / could after / heard he
was wounded. The next day news
came into headquarters that he was
dead. / would have written them
again but we were ordered back to
the front and over the top again; so
this is the first chance I've had since.
| can't understand why Carl had
to be killed-but God knows best.
Our loss is Carl's gain. am sure
Carl was the same boy that he was
when he left homeland he was game
to the end.
You people don't have any idea
what that word war" means; God
homself only knows. | do not know
whenSwe will have to go back to the
front again, but / trust we will never
have to go back.

now to cause her name to go down

RED CROSS MEETING.

i The Greene county chapter held
Its annual meeting on Saturday, Nov.
Both, at / p. m. in the circuit court
room, In spite Of influenza, there
twas a good attendance Of interested
Red Cross workers from all over the
county. The meeting was opened by
the singing of America, led by Rev,
NV. T, Pearmah, followed by prayer
by Rev. j. B. Ely. After, an appro-
pirate opening address BY the presi-
dent, Mr.. Gouchenour, came the spe-
cial feature of the meeting, a beauti-
full Red Cross exercise by the chill
dren's choir from Meadow Greek,
conducted by Rev. and Mrs, W. T.
Pearman. Several appropriate songs
were given by the children, who also
recited responsibility and in concert,
showing throughout the entertain
ment the careful training Of their
enthusiastic leaders. About twenty
children in Red Cross costume par
ticipated in the program.
The business meeting opened with
detailed reports of officers for the
year, which gave evidence Of the re
markable growth Of the chapter and
+ its splendid financial record. Then
| followed reports of the many cons
mittees of the chapter. Every chair
man presented full written report
of the faithful work of his commit.
tee, all showing wonderful amount
of work accomplished-full proof of
the untiring efforts of our Greene
county Red Cross
Next came reports from a great
number of auxiliaries, surprising
many of those present by the state
ments of large sums collected, and
the number Of members. The Off
GERS of this chapter firmly believe
that nowhere in the United States
can better auxiliaries of a county
chapter be found with more enthusi-
astic, devoted Red Cross workers. In
one of these auxiharies, Bethesda
one lady has knit seventy-seven pairs
of socks for soldiers, and is asking
for yarn to finish an even hundred.
The election Of officers followed
next in order, resulting in the re-
election of the present board. Owing
to the lateness of the hour, the presi-
dent announced that committees
would be appointed at another time,
and we hope to publish a complete
list next week. The chapter voted
to increase the size of the executive
committee, so as to include more\of
the active workers in the county, and
approved the appointment by the Of
fcers of superintendent for each
civil district in the county. TIL BILE
and enthusiastic leadership of the
president, Mr.. Gouehenour, and the
faithful cooperation. of the many
workers and the 5000 members have
given Greene county an enviable rep
utation in the southern division Of
the Red Cross.

Christmas presents, can be ordered |

 LONDON, June 17.-DetaiIs of the destruction of one of the Iarg- est submarines are given in dis patch from neutral correspond ent. This submarine was one of the last to leave Zeebrugge before the entrance to the harbor was blocked by British forces.
 The U boat struck a mine and out of the crew of forty only two survived on reaching the surface after struggle with death for an hour and a half twenty fathoms below the surface. Some of the crew committed suicide having lost all hope of leaving the boat alive.
 The only chance of escape was to force open the coming tower and the forward matches and trust to the compression of air in one part of the vessel to force the men to the surface. The air pressure in the submarine had become so high most of the crew could not keep their mouths closed.
 The compressed air shot them to the surface and hardly had they reached the sea level when the air pressure burst their lungs, and about twenty of them sank like stones. The survivors described the yeIIs of the men, when the end came as the most horrible noise they had ever heard.
 The attention of British trawI- CT was attracted and it hastened to the rescue. The condition of the survivors showed that their experi- ences in the submarine had been of a dreadful character.

 There is little change on the British front. The artillery battle has died down and the enemy is recognizing after his severe de- feat.
 Captured maps show that his objectives were very ambitiousy they included the capture of Pau and Gina di Fonte. The number of prisoners has increased to 716, including 12 officers. The total amount of completed material ac- tually brought in was four noun tain guns, 43 machine guns and seven flammenwerfers.
