HOW ROOSEVELT JUDGED HIS
OWN SUCCESS.

Mr.. Roosevelt was fond of saying
average man who had made the best
use he could of such faculties as were
given to him. He had built up phys
ical vigor from frail and delicate be-
+ ginningS. He had made himself a
place among scientists and scholars,
and among historical students and
writer's, through adding industry to
natural interest. He had been willing
to select the things to which to give
his time and strength and having in
herited modest fortune, he did not
choose money-making as one of his
life occupations. Thus he was able to
devote himself to the pursuits of
lover of nature, and to the occupa-
tons of man of letters, while above
all things offering his time and his
strength in the sphere of public serv-
ice, says the Review of Reviews
He felt that citizens duty is
thing to be faced by each American;
and that being an active and useful
citizen was very large part Of the
ooiiooSloll tuCSI lSSI upOH every
allegiance to this country. What we
had received as a heritage from our
fathers. he declared, should be pro-
tected and should be transmitted with
as much improvement as possible to
those coming after us. He always
recognized the fact that he did not
stand alone in this sense of civic
duty; and no one was more eager
than he to recognize the value of the
work of others all about him who, at
one task or another, were striving for
justice and human betterment. Thus
he felt himself to be typical rather
than exceptional. But his individual
qualities were so extraordinary, his
personality was so fascinating, that
he will stand out on the pages of his
tory as great figure, just as in his
own day he had achieved a reputation,
not only throughout this land but in
every other country, that Justly ele-
waited him to heights of fame.

| laid the book aside, my antagonism
to Catholicity was subdued, and my
hatred was pacified' What an argu-
ment for Catholic literature
This book, while not converting the
minister, allayed all his prejudice He
ceased to refer to himself as a Prot
estant." He preferred the more gen.
erous name of non Catholic" But he
got into dangerous religious nires
He read great quantities of Unitarian
literature and delved into higher criti-
cism, so that he was on the verge of
paganism.
About this time, the great anti
Catholic wave of a few years ago
started. The minister determined to
investigate the anti-Catholic charges
thoroughly He heard "Ex-Priest'
Crowley lecture and discovered him
ito be a profuse dispenser of gross,
improved assertions about Catholic
ity' He also heard the editor of The
Menace and found that he was merely
catering to religious prejudice by Civ
ing utterance, both in speech and
print, to the most outlandish and I'M
truthful statements about the Catholic
Church." One day, Mr. Meyers found
a piece of Our Sunday Visitor lying in
the dirt. He sent for a copy and got
others at times, being put in touch
with interesting literature. Father
Noll, the editor, sent him number of
books too. Looking up the Congress
sional Record to find out about the al
legged bloody K OF c. oath, he found,
as the bigots had charged, that the
| publication did contain the oath, but
for an entirely different reason than
| they had said. 1t was there simply
| to expose it and condemn it as spur
ous. The willy anti-Catholic editor
had purposely deceived his readers by
| simply telling them the half truth that
| this awful oath was recorded in the
Congressional Record and
J this disgraceful trick is only one out
| Of number of the same sort"
The thing that finally led the minis
| ter into the Catholic Church was a
deep study of the Reformation. He
was particularly struck by finding that
| it was an out-and-out falsehood Of
Professionalism that Luther found" the
| Bible and gave it to the people. "Luth-
er himself never. at any time, claimed
to have made any such accidental dis.
| covery of the Bible, but on the other
| hand distinctly states that he had been
accustomed to reading the Bible
| FROM HIS VERY CHILDHOOD" SO
says Mr.. Meyers, and he gives the
| quotation from Luther's "Tischreden' ~
| Melanctnon, Luthers co-worker, also
says that in his youth the Bible was
much more extensively read by young
men than it was after the Peforma-
! ton. Protestant scholars of high
| standing are quoted TO the same effect.
And so the minister goes on in this
memorable little pamphlet, proving
| how, step by step, he found that the
| Catholic Church was the exact oppo-
site Of the vile thing his good but mis-
| taken parents had believed her to be,
| and was the very Church of Jesus
Christ, True God and True Man.

made that. as here the autumn leaves

THE MOTHER OF SEVEN
CHILDREN.

She starts before the rest are up,
with breakfast for her man,
And little time to say her prayers
above the frying pan;
She calls to Susie and to Tom, and
thus begins the day,
The while she huns sacred song to
keep the blues away.
A Bingham gown, an apron plain,
With shabby slippers shod-
And yet through all the years she
brings
Her children up to Godi
Her forty years of WEAKNESS, his
forty years of toll,
A dollar and a half day to make
the kettle boil,
From morn to night her courage
stands against the clouds that
come,
And on her lips little song to keep
the shadows dumb.
Away he goes, her man is off,
+ And now the children rise
And yet through all the years she
keeps
Above their heads sweet skies!
On Saturday the wages come, and
then they count it up,
And so much put away upon the side
board in a cup,
And some for sugar, some for tea,
and some for meat and bread
And some to put the little dreams Of
sweet in childhood's head.

says-the Great Spirit was appeased
and sheets of rain hid the brave In
dian maid from the view of her peo-
pie.
Never more was Camas seen by her
tribe, but every spring since then the
strange little pink and white flowers
have covered the wide mountains of
Huckleberry range. In honor of the
Indian girl the blossom is called the
Camas flower.

OLD BELIEFS.

Superstition dies hard in Africa, and
the missionaries must practice bound
less patience in waiting for the old
errors to die.
One of the strangest beliefs of an
East African tribe called the Kikuyus
IS that they become sullied or unclean
in various ways and must be purified
Dy means of special ceremony. For
instance, if KiklIyu touches a corpse
Or human skull, he becomes unclean.

And still through all the years she
sings
A glad and holy song!
All, Marys fever seems so high, I'll
send the doctor, dear
And down the world her good man
goes to hide from her his tear;
The whispering lips, the beating
hearts, the quivering on the
STAIR
The weeping in a woman's heart to
speed to God her prayer.
Some medicine, the doctor comes,
And all was saved is spent
And yet through all the years she
smiles
In sweetness and content.
She started ere the rest were up, and
still she's on her feet,
Socks to mend. and rooms to dust,
and then the supper meat:
A baby with a finger cut, one with a
festered knee,
And hardly any coffee left and hardly
any tea;
Close, little rooms to sleep at night,
In winter, cold and drear-
And yet she goes the daily round,
With seven chicks to rear.
Oh, Lord of mercy and of light,
paint the picture hard,
But it is right that some should have
the struggle and the shard,
With up at morn before the rest and
breakfast for her man,
And only time to say her prayers
above the frying pan?
Be still. She answers best herself,
IT'S not her lips complain
And tbs this resignation, God,
That gives our heart such pain!

A MINISTER'S SURRENDER,

! The Catholic Church is constantly
receiving steady stream of Protes-
| tant ministers into her fold-men who
often are married and who have been
! trained for nothing else but the minis
| try, yet who must give up the idea of
| continuing in it because our clergy are
celibates. Prof. Charles w. Meyers,
! of San Antonio, Texas, is one of these
converts and has written pamphlet
| describing his experiences. 1t is one
| of the most valuable contributions to
Catholic missionary literature in re-
cent years. 1t is entitled, "a Minis
ter's Surrender, or How Truth Con-
quered Prejudice" and is published by
Our Sunday Visitor Press, Huntington
Ind. He was born of Lutheran parents
near Louisville, KY.
My very earliest religious impress
sions were intensely nti-Catholic. MY

Church was an institution of the devil
and that all Catholic priests were the

reared in the Methodist church as
there was no Lutheran church around
| He was ordained a Methodist preacher,
but his belief became too liberal for
this fold, SO he joined the Congrega-
tionalists. He held Congregational
| and Presbyterian pupits-a seeming
inconsistency made consistent by the
cordial relations between those church
es. He admits that his aversion to
Catholicity was intensified "by the
| bitter anti-Catholic literature that
charged the Catholic clergy with all
sorts of beastly lust, and with murder
GUS hatred towards all Protestants"
His first favorable impression of
Catholicity came in a Protestant theol-
ogical seminary, when he realized that
Protestants had only fragmentary and
| unconvincing explanations of why the
| books that make up the Bible should
| be there. Asked about these proofs,
his professor said: Yes, these are
all the proofs that Protestants have,
but the Catholics claim that the canon
| icitv of the New Testament books was
settled by the infallible Councils of the
