words of wisdom and admonition
have saved many a one from spir-
itual and moral shipwreck. Now
when restraint has been removed
from society they will do well to
continue their fine efforts for the
salvation of their people and ap-
praise them frequently of their
high and sacred duties before God
and man. They have in their
power a mighty weapon that can
conquer all worldliness Of con-
duct, the preaching of public
morality through individual sane
tity. Plain words to simple minds
carry a wonderful influence, and
they are needed now as never be-
fore. 3fE
Our country will soon enter the
heyday of her peace and prosper
ity. That these be lasting the pub
lie morality must be placed and
maintained on high level. With
lofty ideals and sound morals our
permanence is assured. Without
them our future is uncertain even
as was that of Rome and Greece
when their morals began to cor
rupt.

PREVENTING HISTORY.

The efforts Of the Anglicans to
establish Apostolic. succession for
their church may show consum-
ing zeal but it hardly justifies the
perversion of history. The Uni
versity of London is sponsoring a
volume dealing with the separa-
ton of England from Rome, says
the Catholic Columbian. It sets
up the preposterous claim that the
separation was not brought about
by the infatuation Of Henry VIII
with Anna Boleyn, but that it was
prompted by Irrational feeling"
which demanded ecclesiastical ma
tionalism.
The statement might be well
questioned on it's very face, but it
is more simple to ask a few ques-
tions that naturally come to mind.
Let us continue with the marital
escapades of King Henry and
learn what kind Of national feel
ing" brought about the other do
nestle infelicities Of his majesty.
One of his various consorts could
not speak English. The volume
says that this q national feeling"
objected tothe Latin Liturgy. Why
did not Henry put a stop to the
use Of Latin as an ecclesiastical
language? Why did he in his will
order Masses to be said for the re-
pose Of his miserable soul? If it
was purely a matter of national
feeling why did Henry appeal to
the Pope to have annulled his mar
riage with Catherine of Aragon?
We take no exception to zeal in
a cause. Though the cause may be
wrong the zeal may be sincere.
There is no sincerity in trying to
pervert historical evidence.

Dubuque College Suit
PR ESBYT ERI AN l. A WSUIT
AGAINST A CATHOLIC COLLEGE
is DECIDED IN FAVOR OF THE
LATTER.

A lawsuit of considerable interest,
which is here referred to simply as
matter of record, is one taken by a
number of Presbyterians against the
authorities of a Catholic college and
decided by the Supreme Court of Iowa
in favor of the latter. In the legal
record the case when it was before the
State Supreme was described as "The
Dubuque German College and Semi
nary, appellant, versus st. Joseph's
College, otherwise known as Dubuque
College," Some years ago st. Joseph's
College, Dubuque, Catholic educa-,
tional institution controlled by the
Archbishop of Dubuque, changed it's
name to that of Dubuque College. AS
soon as it did so those in charge of
the Presbyterian Dubuque German
College and Seminary instituted
an action at law to restrain the
priests in whose direction the former
is, and was, from using the name
Dubuque College, on the ground that
such name was not only misleading,
but would result in unfair competi-
ton" against the Calvinist institution.
The suit was dismissed; and an appeal
was then taken to the Supreme Court
of Iowa, the justices of which, by five
to two, have decided against the Pres
byterian institution. The majority
hold that cit is not probable that de-
PENDANT will obtain property intended
for plaintiff, or that students will at
tend defendants school when . they
intended to attend plaintiffs: they
are unable to see how plaintiffs de-
partment, Dubuque College, as such
could receive or hold property. 1t is
not a legal entity but one of the in
tegral component parts of plaintiffs
institution" Chief Justice Preston
goes on to say that the full name of
the plaintiff is Dubuque German Col
lege and Seminary" that the words
German" and Seminary" denote the
origin and character of the institution,
that it is a German religious institu-
ton using the English language also,
| that .sthe base of education" in de-
| PENDANTS college is the English Ian,
guage, and that the plaintiffs institu-
ton is a Presbyterian school, whereas
the defendants is a Catholic institu-
| ton. ut seems to us highly improb-
able that any person of ordinary pru-
dence could not see the difference be-
tween the name Dubuque College and
Dubuque German College and Semi
nary"

The Supernatural Life.
There is not much real Christianity
in the world The danger today is of
leading a purely natural life as the
pagans did and do. Naturalness, ma
terialism and worldliness possess the
earth. Everything is done for fame or
honor or the money that is in it-else
you are fool or haven't any purpose
in life.
On the supernatural plane the Chris
tan should live-a plane elevated
above the mere natural life. The just
man lives by faith. In the gospel it
is related that when st. Peter was
catching fish he said to our Lord: We
have labored all the night and have
taken nothing. But when in the Lord S
name they cast down their nets, the
ships could not hold all the fishes they
had taken. If you were asked at any
time, What are you doing that for?
be able to say, For God. st. Paul tells
us, Whatsoever you do, whether you
eat or drink, do all for the glory of
God. We should have a supernatural
motive in all that we do. We should
live supernatural life. Our works
are dead and there is no merit in them
unless we are in the state of sanctify-
ing grace and do them from super
natural motive.
The Christian should lead the in
terror life. Take the example of the
great saints who did not seem to per-
form any wonderful acts in their lives.
Their lives should be read not to see
where they were born or in what coun-
try they lived, but to see the super

No Liquor For Soldiers
SECRETARY BAKER URGES
AGAINST INTOXICATING DRINKS
FOR TROOPS.

Secretary Baker has appealed to
friends of soldiers returning from the
front, for assistance in discouraging
abuse of hospitality which resulted in
supplying them with intoxicating Ii
quors as part of homecoming celebra-
tons.
I'm the celebrations that welcome
our troops from abroad many men in
uniform have been given Intoxicating
drinks" Secretary Baker said. This
is contrary to law. 1t is breach of
military discipline, 1t is an injury to
the returning troops. A drunken sol
der is a disgrace to his uniform, an
insult to the flag, a shame to himself,
and danger to the community. No
loyal citizen who has the interest of
the men at heart will offer them the
temptation of inebriety.
II appeal to the friends of our boys
from the front to discourage this abuse
of hospitality. Our army in service
has had record for cleanliness and
sobriety of which the country has the
right to be proud. l appeal to that
pride to help the men live up to their
record"

THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.

st. Paul is gradually becoming
known throughout the country as
a city of high civic ideals. Various
causes have contributed to this
recognition. Not least among
these causes is the Christmas Fes-
tival which, for the past four
years, the city has enjoyed. Due
to the initiative Of Mrs. r. M.
Seymour, of the ST. Paul Institute,
and her energetic committee, the
citizens of this commonwealth
have been given a taste of real
mediaevalism in their period Of
Christmas rejoicing.
This year the committee has en-
larged it's scope, and has called
into action several powerful forces
that will tend to elevate and to
strengthen the sentiment gaining
ground here; that Christmas is a
season of spiritual rather than of
material joy. Christ came not to
build empires, nor to enrich His
followers, but to spread in their
hearts that peace which surpasseth
all understanding. This higher
motive for annual rejoicing is
brought out beautifully in the
festivities which the committee
has prepared for this year.
The singing of the 800 children
will be under the direction of Miss
Elsie Shave, organist Of St.
Mary's Church. The student choir
of the st. Paul Seminary, under
the leadership of Rev. Francis
Missia, has already achieved a
reputation far beyond the confines
of this city. This splendid organi-
zation will render Christmas selec-
tions, trusting to it's own inherent
power and without orchestral ac-
compartment. The audience is
assured Of a treat not often heard
in this city.
Altogether, the idea Of such a
public celebration of Christmas
hanks back to those olden ages
which were so surprisingly bright
that their splendor has caused a
few moderns to call them dark i:
such is the effect of excessive light
on some eyes. The annual Christ
mas festivals in the old Cathedral
towns of Europe depended pre-
cisely upon this idea, that the
spirit of the Christ Child's com
ing was in broad and democratic
comprehensiveness: spirit that
appealed to all, irrespective of ar
tistic temperament or of highly
trained perceptions.

natural running through their lives.
No great pilgrimage or act of martyr
dom may be recorded of them, but
they all led the interior life.
In a letter written by an old mis-
sionary in China to Bishop Cretin, the
first bishop Of st. Paul, the former
says: "You will gain more merit than
a martyr if you live here on the mis-
sion for forty years. The individual
acts of humility and self-denial here
among your companions will aggregate
more merit perhaps than a martyr
DOM" SF2 Nk
There are two services of God prac-
ticed in the world. The ordinary
Christian service lies in just keeping
on the brink of the illicit and saying,
I'll see how far can go without being
damned for it, but I won't go any far
Their. This is the ordinary Christian
ity of the world and we may be sure
that God is displeased with it. There
is no love of God in it. But Gods
standard of love towards us is meas
uI0u ny our love TO Him. moral the
ology is no guide to Gods love, as it's
hairsplitting legality serves only the
purpose of not overburdening the
Christian conscience
The true happiness of the Christian
soul lies in heavenly regions-in the
supernatural. He is expected to do
much more for God than ordinary peo-
pie who are just trying to keep out Of
hell We don't want to be on the rail,
afraid to go down on one side into hell,
or on the other for fear we should
have to deny ourselves and make some
self-sacrifice. The man who has lost
the spirit of sacrifice may be. neither
good nor bad but lukewarm and; the
Lord will vomit him out. The charity,
| generosity and noble soul of the Chris
| tian who chooses God as the portion
| of his inheritance will win for him
abundance of heavenly treasure, and a
rich measure of glory awaits him.
| When his deeds are weighed in the
balance of justice, they will not be
found wanting.

THE PRESIDENT ABROAD.

There may have been honest
differences of opinion as to
whether or not the President
should have gone to Europe. The
fact is that he has gone and he has
gone as President of the United
States.
1t is quite true that this is the
first time in our history that a
President has made such a jour
ney, notes an observer. We must
bear in mind that our relations
with Europe have never been so
intimate as they are at present.
It is the. first time in our history
that Europe has asked for aid in
settlement of it's affairs. The
President thought it wise to at
tend the peace conference in per-
son. He is the President of the
United States and as such he must
not fail. Failure would not be a
personal failure nor a personal
humiliation. It would be failure
and humiliation for the whole
American people. Those who
would hamper the President by
petty pickering, who would en-
barrass him and thus lessen his
power at the peace conference, are
guilty of disloyalty to their coun-
try. If the President does any
thing in France that may justify
honest criticism it will be a
patriotic duty for those who are
charged with the affairs of ma
tional government to offer the
criticism. We will not believe that
the President will do anything
that is not in accord with the de-
sires of the people he represents.
He has gone on the greatest mis-
sion that was ever given to civil
ruler. 1t is a matter Of supreme
interest not only to the United
States but to the whole world.
1t would be a crime against
humanity to say or do anything
that would thwart the President
in his work. He feels, and we can
not but believe that he is right,
that the greatest work before the
United States today is to see the
full accomplishment of those
glorious purposes for which we
lavishly expended our treasure
and unselfshly shed our blood.
We hope that patriotism will shut
the mouths of those who have been
manifesting willingness to sacri-
fee the good of humanity ON the
altar of party politics. May God
be with our President.

To Welcome Sixty-Ninth
NEW YORK WILL RECEIVE FAM
Gus IRISH REGIMENT WITH
FIGHTING HoNoRS.

Mayor ,Hylan and a general commit
tee of citizens have already launched
preparations to welcome home the
New York City troops, and particularly
the Gallant old Sixty-ninth,' the fam
GUS fighting Irish regiment which held
the right of line in the Rainbow divis-
ion, and which covered itself with
glory from Chateau-Thierry to the last
battles on the front up to the morning
of the armistice.
The New York papers and the gov
eminent reports (Which have been
sent over to Ireland and England)
leave no doubt as to the heroic part
played by the Sixty-ninth (now the
161st) and the hardly less heroic work
of the famous Ninth Massachusetts,
also an Irish-American regiment, with
an enviable civil war record.
The veterans of the Sixty-ninth, the
greatest military organization of New
York City and the Sixty-ninth State
Guards held joint meeting lately and
appointed committees to prepare a re-
ception to the valiant boys of the great
regiment.
AS the Rainbow division was in the
heaviest fighting from the start it will
be the first returned to this country,
and New York aims to have the Sixty
ninth men lead the way UP Broad
way.
The first American officer wounded
in France was Major Moynihan of the
Sixty ninth, and since he was wounded
many of our boys have fallen and the
list of heroes is long one.

A MEXICAN OUTRAGE
USE THE HOLY SACRIFICE TO
FOOL PILGRlMS-NEW OUTRAGE
is PERFORATED ON coNFID-
ING. MEXICAN CATHOLICS.

Revolutionists in Western Mexico
have been profiting considerably in
financial way by promoting religious
celebrations among people and ap-
propriating the money which is offered
at the shrines by the devout wor-
shippers, according to the statement
OF Rev. Eugene Sugranes, of San An
tonic, Tex. 1t has long been the prac-
tice for the people of the states of
Sonora, Sinaloa and other states of
Mexico to go, to Magdalena, Sonora,
by the thousands in October of each
year, to participate in the great feast
in honor of the sacred image of st.
Francis Xavier, the apostle of the
Indies. The worshippers present their
offerings of money at the shrine of the
church, and this usually amounts to
considerable sum in the aggregate.
All Catholic priests were exiled from
that part of Mexico in 1914 and 1915
and the annual religious festival at
Magdalena was discontinued. 1t oc-
Cured to the revolutionists that they
might reestablish the celebration and
with profit to themselves. They put
the scheme into successful practice
last year. How it was done is
described by Father Sugranes, as fol-
lows:
'They had big posters printed an
nouncing the great feast. Programs
were sent broadcast giving minute in
formation concerning the services in
honor of st. Francis. They told the
Mass would be celebrated. The peo-
pie, of course, not being aware of the;
ruse, and being eager to hear Mass,
which had not been celebrated for two
years, came to Magdalena, as usual,
by the thousands. Masses indeed had
priests allowed to celebrate them.
Thus the visitors and pilgrims were
greatly disappointed. Still, in their
good faith and in fulfillment of their
vows and promises, they left their Of
ferings, dropping their coins into the
boxes, performed their private devo-
lions and returned to their homes with
heavy hearts. So the plan of the
Mexican revolutionists proved to be a
great financial success. According to
reports they collected the fair sum of
$1,000.
"The famous sanctuary was almost
the sole support of the diocese of So
nora. It was from the offerings of this
church that the Bishop paid the ex-
penses of the seminary, parochial
schools and asylums."

the central figures of the labor move

In Queensland he is bitterly at

WHIskEY DETRIMENTAL IN IN.
FLUENZA.

Wide publicity should be given to a
statement of Col. C. Y. Brownlee,
Medical Corps, u. s. A., the chief
medical officer at Camp Lee, as to the
use of Whiskey in influenza and pneu-
monia cases. AS a treatment for in
fluenza, Col. Brownlee said whiskey is
detrimental and not beneficial In
pneumonia cases, where a stimulant is
needed, whiskey may be used in limit
ed and guarded doses with beneficial
results.
The liquor interests and their sup
porters have been Industrious in
spreading false and dangerous state
ments that whiskey is a valuable aid
in the treatment of prevalent diseases.
1t is not. 1t is neither preventive nor
curative. Regular whisky drinkers can
have little hope of recovery when they
are attacked by pneumonia. Their
habitual state of over-stimulation rem
ders them unresponsive to effort at
stimulation when Frustrated by dis
ease. No argument or demonstration
is needed to convince on that point.
1t follows that an unnecessary slim
ulation is highly dangerous, particular
ly at time like the present when
none knows where the prevailing all
ments will strike. Closed saloons are,
in fact, the forcible prevention of the
public from injuring itself. The state
Health Commissioners order. is not in
comparable with the striking of phial
OF poison from the hands of an intend
ing suicide.
Unless the doctor prescribes whis-
key-and you will be surprised at how
little he orders-let the stuff alone.
