CzECHO. .SLOVAKS And THE CHURCH

says: "Owing largely to the dramatic
circumstances of his death, he became
at once the hero of Bohemian patri-
otism and the martyr-saint of the null
titudes in Bohemia and elsewhere who
shared his demagogic and revolution
ary PRINCIPLES
The results of Hus' teachings were
felt for many years. In fact, church
known as the Bohemian Brethren, the
direct outgrowth of his movement, is
in existence to this very day. Re-
ligious wars harried Bohemia, until
many had become huge horde of
brigands bent on bloodshed and MUIR
DER the inevitable result of genera
tions of warfare.
The chief bone of religious conten-
tion was the giving of Communion
under two forms to the laity. There
is nothing in Catholic teaching against
giving laymen the chalice, and the
Eastern rites. do it constantly, but it
is most decidedly opposed to apostolic
Christianity to say that the conse-
Grated Wine must be taken as we'll as
the Host in order to gain salvation.
DoctrinaI Vagaries.
AS always happens with churches
not in communion with the Vicar OF
Christ, the followers of John Hus fell
| further and further away from Cath.
| olic truth. Finally they came to such
a point that they began to murder
| Catholic priests and to ruin all
Catholic property. Of course, they
| constantly protested against what
had happened to Hus, but when Mar.
tin Loquis, priest of their own mum,
ber, taught that Christ is not really
present in the Blessed Sacrament
they cruelty tortured him and one OF
his followers and finally burnt them
| in barrel.
Crusades were preached against the
Hussites, and blood was shed on both
sides to an extent that must strike
horror into the heart of a modern
reader. But remember that it is only
now that the world is beginning to be
at all tolerant along religious lines
And also remember that Catholics
first in shortlived republic of Ireland
then in Maryland, were the first of al
men to legalize religious liberty.
The fact that their German neigh
bors were on the side of their religious
opponents naturally encouraged the
national spirit among the Hussites
But, not through war but through con
ferences, most of them were finally
won over. So now Bohemia has more
Catholics than anything else.
While these Catholics cannot con
done John Hus' religious teachings
they look up to him as a patriotic
| Bohemian. He is certainly not to b.
placed in the same class as Martin
Luther. He was different type o
man altogether and, while he wa!
sadly mistaken and was the innocen
means of bringing untold suffering t
his native land, he was nevertheless
sincere something the writer canno
believe of Luther.
The Czecho- Slovaks have right tt
liberty. 1t is shameful that the.
should be held in subsection the wa.
they are Even as Catholics they ow,
nothing to Austria Hungary. TIL
Church is by no means as free il
that autocracy as it should be, despit
the fact that ignorant Protestan
| writer's in America attempt to max
out that the Pope must be un-neutra
because that empire is SO Catholic
| If you think that the Church is fre
in Austria, consult the Catholic Er
J cyclopedia, It speaks with authorit.

ING THAT THE "WIN THE WAR"
SPIRIT RISES SUPERIOR TO ANY
DIFFE ENcES - GENERAL
PERsHING HAS LAID DOWN THE
LINES HE WANTS FOLLOWED
ON THIS ScoRE-THE APPEND.
ED ARTICLE REVEALS HIS FEEL.
INGS REGARDING THE UNITY TO
BE ACHIEVED BY MEN OF ALL
CLASSES AND cREEDs in KEEP.
ING HEART AND MIND CLEAN.
The proudest thing to be said about
and for the American army in France
from moral viewpoint is that it's
commanding general is just as anx-
ious to see his soldiers maintain a
clean, faithful standard of manly in.
tegrity as to see them come off vic.
torious in battle, writes N. r. Best
from Paris. Not often has it been pos
sible to say so much of any army and
it's leaders-certainly never in any
army comparable in size and signifi-
canoe to the American Expeditionary
Force now in France. But it is liter
ally true concerning General Pershing.
And his sentiments in this regard are
not merely utilitarian. He knows
right well, of course, as any thorough
soldier must, that an army made up
of men sound and strong in personal
character is necessarily a more de-
pendable army in military sense
than could ever be constituted from
rogues and ruffians.
But his moral concern for his men
goes deeper than that. 1t is out of
his own personal valuation of religious
faith-his own experience of it-that
General Pershing has set his heart on
having every soldier under his COM
mand preserve in France whatever re-
ligious faith he brought from the.
homeland-all of it at full strength
and get more of it if he can. II
Heart and Conscience. 81
This is the handspring of the en-
couragement which the commanding
general has so constantly given to
the Y. NJ. c. A., the Knights of Colum-
bus, the Jewish Welfare Board and
the Salvation Army. He wants his
men under the influence of these re-
ligious forces. 1t is the secret, also,
of his quite unexampled pains to de-
Velop the power and use of the chap
laincy among his troops-the reason
why he insisted on creating the here
tofore unheard-of office of ''senior
chaplain of the army and on ap-
pointing to the position the man who
has been his own most strengthening
spiritual counselor-Bishop Brent. No
great soldier ever issued before to his
troops any such moving religious ap-
peal as that unofficial but nightly
effective word of counsel, in which
General Pershing, like an older broth
er of his soldiers, begs them to be
true to the precepts of the Saviour.
And these public signs confirm the
reality of the conviction which an in
nocent revelation of headquarters Sc
CrSLS I6llS VI Ills 6ApIcSS1uS W u1S
staff: Gentlemen, this army of ours
has heart and a conscience, and that
heart and conscience must be fed" In
that noble word is spoken the explana-
ton of much that makes General
Pershing unique among the military
chieftains of his time.
A Misguided Lieutenant.
Such avowals from the commands
ing general naturally have a tremen-
dous effect on his subordinate officers.
The influence may be slow in filtering
down to the subalterns, but among
the higher grades a remarkable con

BOGALUSA BOY
RETURNS FROM I
over THERE"
Decorated for Bravery and
Gives a Most Interesting
Address

Capt. Harry Gayer, son of Mrs.
Amanda Gayer of Pleasant Hill, and
who had twice been decorated for
bravery, arrived in Bogalusa from
the front line trenches in France and
gave an account of his work from the
time the ship left port with his COM
pany until the company had gone
lover the top ard captured Ger
mans. Capt. Gayer captured Ger
man Major as well as a private and
he showed home folks some Of the
souvenirs as a result Of going "over
the top Gas masks, German he'll
NETS, German revolvers and belts, as
well as other articles worh BY the
Hun, were shown and there was not
"a person in the large audience ct chs
X. Ne. G. A. Monday night who did
not enjoy every word of his talk. He
told of the embarking of the troops,
of the seasickness, of the anxiety Of
reaching French soil, the sensation
of keeping out Of range of the u
boats, the reception his company re-
eeived in France, the training they
received after their arrival and
their march to the front line trench
and the sensation of how it feels to
go lover the top and how it feels
to bring into camp Hun major.
The address was by far the best
that has been given in BogaIusa on
the work of the boys 'sover there.
Young Gayer was attending school
Iat Lincoln, Neb., at the outbreak Of
the war, attended the first officers
training camp where he gained a
Commission Of Captain. He landed
in France almost a year ago and he
is considered such fine officer that
