Father Perigord to Return
SOLDIER PRIEST RECEIVED WORD
OF HIS RECALL LAST WEEK
IN HARTFORD, CONN.

Rev. Paul Perigord, French soldier
priest, who for the past several
months has toured the country on a
lecture tour in the interest of the
United States Publicity Bureau, is
soon to return to the battle fields of
France. Shortly before speaking to a
large audience at Hartford, Conn, on
Wednesday evening of last week, he
received word that many of his com
rades had fallen in the recent battles
and that he was to return to the scene
of active warfare. The news struck
a solemn chord in the heart of the
priest, and he began what may be one
of his last lectures with an earnest
plea for determination as we'll as op.
timism on the part of the American
people.
Lieutenant" Perigord, as he is
known to his comrades, was sent to
America together with other French
officers to help instruct the American
soldiers in the art of warfare, but
after delivering speeches on several
different occasions, news of his eX-
ceptiCnal oratOrical ability reached
Washington and he was drafted into
the service of the National Publicity
Bureau.
Before the war Father Perigord was
a member of the teaching staff of the
st. Paul Seminary. He belongs to the
diocese of st. Paul, Minnesota. He is
at present taking much needed rest
in this city.

MORALS AND MORALE.

When we speak Of the morals
of body Of men, we mean either
their principles of conduct or
their manner of living as regards
virtue and vice; or we mean both
their principles and their prac-
tice of life, writes DR.. Thomas P.
Heart.
When we speak Of the morale of
a body Of men, we mean their
psycho-physiological condition in
relation to the general objects,
for which their body has been or
ganized, or in relation to any par
ticular enterprise in which they
may be engaged. The term is
used very frequently nowadays
in reference to the various nations
and to their respective armies, en-
gagged in the World-war.
Reports from Europe tell us that
the morale Of one set of belliger-
ents is low, meaning that the SOL
diers, discouraged by reverses and
hardship, have given up their
hopes OF. winning the war, and
that this depressed mental condi-
ton, reacting upon their physical
powers, deprives them of that
vigor and that stamina, so essen
tial to success on the battlefield.
. On the other hand, we are told
the morale Of the other belliger-
ents is remarkably high, because
they are confident of ultimate vic
tory, and that this confidence, act
ing as physiological as well as a
mental tonic, enhances the vim and
the courage of the troops so as to
greatly increase their efficiency.
This is not strange phenome-
non: 1t has been recognized for
ages. Upper put it we'll in writ
ing "Of Faith" in his 'Proverbial
Philosophy"
Confidence is conqueror of men
victorious both over them
and in them;
The iron will of one stout heart
shall make a thousand
quail;
A feeble dwarf, dauntlessly re-
solved, will turn the tide of
battle,
And rally to a noble strife the
giants that had fled.
Confidence, however, is not the
only element in building up and
maintaining a high morale among
armies, engaged in active warfare
1t is now generally acknowledged
that good morals, a lively faith in
the Immortality of the soul, and
an abiding hope of eternal happi-
ness after death are most conduc.
i've to the ideal military esprit de
corps, to absolute fearlessness un-
der fire. Even the governments
of France and Italy, inclined, as
they have been, to infdelity, have
recognized the necessity Of having
the religious needs of their fight
ing men ministered to by chap.

realize that there is no longer a
question as to the quality OF in
struction given i'll the parish
schools. The value of the system
has been practically demonstrated
by the successive classes gradual
ed in the last twenty-five years. 1t
ic generally recognized e grad
yates of Catholic schools, in addi-
ton to knowledge of secular sub
jects, bring to their work habits
OF obedience, courtesy and honesty
and application that are the re-
suit not Of temporary compulsion,
but of religious conviction and the
training Of conscience by religion.
Men have had their way through
the centuries in trying out mani
fold fads and systems in educa-
ton, with how little success his
tory shows. But the Church, true
Teacher, remained constant in in
sisting that education without re-
ligion could not produce the per-
feet character, and one by one the
eXperimentalists conceded that
the Church was right.
1t is related that an eminent
educator looking into a Catholic
church one Sunday, while Mass
was being celebrated, was amazed
at the size Of the congregation.
Later his curiosity prompted him
to ask the pastor: ''How do you
fill your pews?" The pastor
pointed to the schools grouped
near his church. "There is the
supply house," he said. "Wher-
ever you find such schools you
may be sure that religion -four
ishes."
Events Of the past two years
prove also that patriotism flour
ishes under the teaching of re-
ligion. The only time in years
that there has been a falling off
in the attendance at Catholic
churches at the six or more Masses
celebrated each Sunday, is the
present, when so many Of our boys
have gone to the front. 1t is one
comfort and joy in this trying
period to know that here or cover
there" they are demonstrating
the worth of Catholic teaching.

"What is to come out of this
war;" is the question upon the
lips of every one. Socialism,
some say; anarchy, others; world
democracy, says President Will
son; a lasting peace, says Eng
land; the enlargement of our
boundaries, say ROumania and
Bulgaria; Mittel Europa, says
Germany. All of them stop too
soon. Out of it will come a Con-
queror. He may come Immediate
ly after the war, or later; but He
surely will come. The world will
recognize Him, and know that He
comes by right. Out of this war
we will have the Conquering
Christ.

The pastors throughout the do
eeSe of Salt Lake have been in
structed by Bishop Glass to base
their instructions to the faithful,
each Sunday and holy day of OBJ
legation, on the questions and an
swers of the little Baltimore Cate
chism. At least five minutes must
be spent in explanation of the
fundamental doctrines contained
in the miniature theology. "Popes,
bishops and councils have insisted
again and again., recalls the
bishop, upon our duty Of teach
ing the saving doctrines of the
Church to all our peOple-to the
grown people as we'll as to chill
dren. At no time in the history
Of the country has this work been
so important as it is now" I'm
less the faithful of the western
diocese are considerably different
from the rest of men, there will be
few who will fail to profit by a
consideration of these elementary
lessons. He is an ideal Catholic
who knows his Catechism well. 1t
is not a primer to be laid aside
when the days Of Sunday school
have ended.

THE PRICE OF A DRINK.

Ten cents glass! Does anyone think
That that is really the price of a
drink?
"Ten cents a glass;" | hear you say,
"Why, that isn't very much to pay"
All, no, indeed; it's a very small sum
You are passing over 'twixt finger and
thumb.
And if that were all you gave away,
1t wouldn't be very much to pay.
The price of a drink! Let him decide
Who has lost his courage and lost his
pride,
And lies a groveling heap of clay,
Not far removed from a beast today.
The price of a drink! Let that one
Who sleeps tonight in murderer's
cell,
And feels within him the fires of hell.
Honor and virtue, love and TRUTH
All the glory and pride of youth,
Hopes of manhood, the wreath Of
fame,
High endeavor and noble aim
These are the treasures thrown away
AS the price of a drink, from day to
day.
Ten cents a glass;! How Satan
laughed,
AS over the bar the young man
quaffed
The beaded liquor; for the demon
knew
The terrible work that drink would do;
And ere the morning the victim lay
With his life blood swiftly ebbing
away;
And that was the price he paid, alas!
For the privilege of taking social
glass.
Ten cents glass! Oh, if that were all,
The sacrifice would indeed be small!
But the moneys worth is the least
amount
We pay; and whoever will keep ac-
count
Will learn the terrible waste and
blight
That follows the ruinous appetite.
Ten cents a glass! Does anyone think
That that is really the price of a
drink?

KILBY OF ALABAMA

Alabama Catholics are at present
face to face with another edition of
the notorious Cats. Lieut.. Governor
Thomas E. Kilby, a candidate for gov.
ernorship of Alabama, is conducting a
decidedly Catholic campaign
throughout the state, which has a
Catholic population of only $4,000.
He first denounces the patriotism
of the Catholic, then the "autocracy''
of the Pope, and winds up by pledg-
ing, if elected, to keep every Catholic
out of job.
