Poor Huckleberry Finn! His brief
experience of the uplift at the hands
of the Widow Douglas was surely
difficult enough to enlist the SYM
pathy of his dear shade for those
whose resolution to escape is more
infirm than his. After all he had
youth on his side; it is the business
of youth to rebel and of age to &C.
quiesce. Lolling in the Elysian fields,
blest in the companionship of those
whose sins were perhaps many but at
least human, we fancy he may look
upon the composite and magnified
Widow Douglas who seems to be in a
fair way to shape our civilization, and
be thankful that he was taken away
from the evil to come. If we must be
instructed and improved and uplifted
and moralized above measure, if the
world must come to be what one
styles zone vast, awful world" we
may, at least until thinking is for
hidden, dwell upon Huckleberry Finn
and the Burmese and remember that
the gentle art has had its exem-
plars.

A LOST ART.

Gentle and admirable, the art of
the Puritan eXegesis Of Gains reply.
Most of us have. read the report of the
traveller in Burma, which says that a
foreigner may go and settle down in a
Burman village, live his own life, and
follow out his own customs in free
try to correct and convert him, or in
sist that he ought to do differently,
and that, if he does not do differently,
he is an outcast either from civiliza-
ton or from religion or from both.
The people will accept him for what
he is, and let the matter rest there.
If he chooses to change his ways and
conform to Burman habit, well and
good; but if not, we'll and good.
Alas, how many lovers of the hui
man life there must be, who in their
moments of dependency would fain
seek a haven in Burma and rest
there forever and forever! Weary of
being uplifted and reformed, weary
of peevish little Dogberries in public
office, of impossible Socialists,
evangelical preachers, policemen, and
all the other agents of organized
meddling in other peoples affairs, the
human spirit courts repose- slouchy,
dissolute, unprincipled, delightful re.
pose-among congenial souls, such as
this traveller (may the. kingdom of
heaven be his!D reveals as existing
| in Burma. But short of Burma it will
not be. found, least of all in this fair
land of ours. All signs point to an
unprecedented preoccupation on the
part of an influential minority of our
people with the, lives and habits OF
their fellows. We are all to be up
lifted to a height, undreamed of.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES AND EDUCATIONAL ITEMS OF TERES

must restrict its activities in all de-
partments Of the peoples life, but es-
pecially in that which relates to the
schools in. which their children are
trained. 1t must suppress it's tenden-
cies towards the naturalization, cen
tralization, and standardization of edu-
cation, get rid of it's self-perpetuating
educational boards and commissions,
neither representative nor responsible
to the people, and bring the control
of education back to the parents, to
whom it naturally and primarily be-
longs.
1t is a truth that cannot be gain
said that the country's most stalwart
defenders are those parents who are
educating their children in schools
where God is recognized and religious
training given the place of prom
inence. Their schools, which are the
only schools in the land that harmon
ize with our national traditions, will
protect the rights of the citizen be-
nifty as a man, and, in the end, will
procure vitality and strength for the
nation when all governmental machin-
cries and state establishments fail.
Let the state, therefore, cease that
unreasonable interference in education
which would hamper these schools
in their most necessary and salutary
work. Let it restore to its subjects
in the field of education and in other
private pursuits the fullest freedom
consistent with the public welfare,
lest it be guilty of folly in embracing
the tyrannizing policies it has sacri-
feed so much blood and treasure to
destroy, and justly incur the charge
of hypocrisy in making a worldwide
proclamation of democratic principles
| while at the same time doing violence
to the spirit and genius of it's own
democratic institutions at home

THANKSGIVING.

That mine is still the middle way.
Set in a safe and sweet estate
Between the little and the great.
Not troubled with wealths cares, mol
yet
Too poor, where needs that carp and
fret,
Push out sweet leisure and green
hooks,
And give no chance for talk and books
l take my middle way between
The mansion and a lodging mean.
My cottage at the country's edge
Hath sweetbriar growing in it's hedge
Honesty, heartsease, and sWeetpeas,
Herb-bennet, loVe-in-idleness.
Give me tree, a well, hive,
And I can save my soul alive.
And be as poor in spirit as
The Poverello's lady was.
covet not smooth silk nor lace
Nor any lovely lady's face.
Nor yet would go in hodden-gray
But lawns and wool be my array.
/ thank God that my modest place
Is set amid much pleasantness.
And not too high and not too low
The safe untroubled path I go.

REASON FOR SAINTS.

What's the good Of saints anyway?
Why are we constantly harping on
their names? Why is SO much of the
liturgy given over to their lives and
their deeds? In great part those out
side the Church are not interested ex-
cept in a few pet ones like ST. Fran
els, or st. Theresa, whom they persis-
tently and painfully misrepresent
Robert Louis Stevenson granted that
the Catholic Church alone could pro-
duce saints, but with equal frankness
he said that these same saints an
Inoyed him. To him their virtues were
questionable, and their lives a mis-
direction. And he was speaking for
| the majority. Well, one reason for
| the saints was precisely to annoy the
world. They refused to have it con-
tented. They were perpetually chaI-
longing it's standards, and as they
cared neither for life nor death, nor
reputation, nor wealth, nor power
nor prestige, the world could take no
toll of them. AS suffering and perse-
cution were necessary to their growth
| they coveted both. Impotent rage is
the punishment of an ineffective
enemy.
So the lives of the saints are a
| constant thorn in the side of com
PLEASANT world. Then too, they are a
perpetual reminder that the words OF
| Christ were for imitation. and not
| merely for admiration "Ra We ner.
feet as your Heavenly Father is per
feet" This was the paradox they
were unfiinchingly trying to realize
And as far as human weakness al
lowed they did approach closely to
! this ideal. They were not bothered
by the yardstick of nature. They
| measured themselves by quite another
| footrule. The arm of convenience
had no part with them. They sought
| the Hand of God. And to untold mil
lions they have been a light and &
strength For sainthood is never
sterile And again, these beloved Of
God have indicated the proud prop
erty of the Church, sanctity. This
I can never desert her. On the shoul
| ders of the saints rests what we
| learned long ago in our catechism-
that our Church is holy because o.
the eminent holiness of so many o

LONG MASSES AND SHORT.

There is a rather good story told
of an ighteenth-century Bishop. A
lady having complained to him one
day about the excessive length of the
Sunday Mass, he replied: Madam, tbs
not the Mass that is too long, but your
devotion that is too Short
Still better is the, narrative of the
sanity Princess Wolkowska's eXplana-
ton of very lengthy and very brief
offerings of the Holy Sacrifice. 1t was
rule of the Princess life never to
say word contrary to charity about
any person or thing whatever. A witty
Young duchess of her acquaintance
set out one day to make her violate
this rule, and this is the way she went
about her task:
my dear Princess said she, 81
know that you habitually hear daily
Mass at the Church of Saint Andrew
dele Fratte. Well, now, does not one
of the priests there try your patience
almost beyond endurance? He drones
along SO slowly that his Mass takes
up regularly well-nigh an hour of ones
time"
why, my DEAR" replied the
Princess, "do you find that disagree
able? I am sorry to differ from you
but l must, decidedly. What happi-
ness it is to be able to recollect ones
self at each phase of the Holy Sacri-
fee, to mediate at ones leisure upon
the great mystery, to recommend
without precipitation ones parents
and friends! l confess, that, for my
part, | attend through preference the
Mass of that very priest"
Very we'll, said the duchess; but
in that case, you can't like the Mass
of Father X, who acquits himself of
the sacred function SO eXpeditiously
that he hardly keeps the congrega-
ton longer than twenty-five minutes. .
But, my dear FRIEND" gently re
Joined her companion, you are rea-
soning somewhat lightly. Just think
of the busy people the clerks, the
poor servants whose. time is so linn
tied! 1t is all well enough for us
great ladies to take our. time and ac-
complish at our leisure even our exer-
cises of piety; but, then, everyone has
not the same latitude. If these per-

THE STATE EDUCATION.
(From Cardinal O'ConnelI's Paper at
the Catholic Educational Conven-
ton in st. Louis, Mo-

1t (the state) may encourage and
promote education, but this does not
necessitate a monopoly. 1t may pro-
vide schooling for children who would
otherwise grow UP in ignorance, but
this is a, supplementary right, not a
primary and underived one. 1t may
use constraint to bring such children
to it's schools, but when parents other
wise furnish proper education it can
not compel them to send children to
the educational institutions it has
established, nor can it exercise exclu-
siyely the function of education And
all this, because education is a par
entail, not a political right, and the
State exists to promote the welfare
and to protect the rights of it's cit
liens, not to antagoniZe or injure
them. Different teaching than this
comes only from those who know and
care little of human rights, and less
of the legitimate functions of a consti
tutional democracy.
Judged by these principles, which
are the principles of sound political
philosophy, the civil government in
America stands accused of unreason
able trespasses upon the rights and
liberties of it's citizens. In the field OF
education it's interfering activities con
stitute a most serious menace, fol
there is no more dangerous monopoly
than the monopoly of the despotic
state over the minds of it's people.
For this reason it is just here that
the work of reform must begin. II

it's present path towards autocracy, il

sons remained too long in church,
they would be reprimanded by their
clients or their employers. Would
you, therefore, deprive them of the
benefit of being present at the Holy
Sacrifice? Father KS is just the Mass
that suits them. Providence my dear
duchess, arranges everything we'll :
the first priest for us, the second for
them"

A UNIQUE PHENOMENON.

I have often been struck with the
facility with which the Catholic relig-
ion adapts itself to the character of
every nation; l have had some oppor-
tunities of observation; l have seen
the Catholic Church on three out of
four continents, and have everywhere
noticed the same phenomenon. Ma
hometanism could never be trans
planted to the snowy regions of Rus
STA or Norway; it needs the soft, ener-
waiting atmosphere of Asia to keep it
alive; the veranda, the bubbling foun-
tain, the noontide repose are all
parts of it. Puritanism is the natural
growth of the country where the sun
seldom shines, and which is shut out
by a barrier of water and fog from
kindly intercourse with its neighbors.
1t could never thrive in the bright
South. The merry vinedressers of
Italy could never draw down their
faces to the proper length and would
be very unwilling to exchange their
blithesome canzonetti for Sternhold
and Hopkins version. But the Catho-
lie Church, while it unites it's profess
sors in the belief of the same infiex-
ible creed, leaves them entirely free

BEARING ONES CROSS.

Everybody in this world has cross
of some kind to bear. 1t may be one
lying unseen in the silence, OF the
hearts profoundest depths; or it may
be one that is painfully visible to all.
To some God gives but one great
cross to bear; on others He showers
what seems like multitude OF smaller
ones. But, great or small, or one or
many, the cross is there, and must be
carried.
Some bearers wreathe their crosses
with the sharp thorns of repining and
discomfort; others with the soft BIOS
SONS of patience and hope. 1t IS
largely a matter of choice, resting
with the bearer; but it is the revela-
ton of our experience that he tlnds
his cross lightest who has learned
bitter though the lesson is-to smile
with others at his own miseries.

A KEMPIS' VOLUME LIKED BY
MANY NoN-CATHoLICS.

It is not surprising that devout peo-
pie should be fond of reading and
meditating upon the thoughts ex-
pressed in the limitation; for they
only possess the secret of extracting
nourishment for their souls from an
ascetical book that repels wOrldlings.
But it is one of the paradoXes OF
literature that worldly writer's have
been fond of the limitation" Few
readers would expect to find George
Eliot extolling THE Imitation of
Christ" yet in 1.-The Mill on the
Floss" she pays one of the highest
tributes to its power of consolation
and insight into human nature that
the Victorian period witnessed, says
the Pittsburgh Observer. There are
scores of other celebrities famous for
almost everything except their Chris
tian example who have given honest
yet reluctant testimony of the power
of the Imitation" to console and
soothe.
When book survives the wear and
tear Of centuries and the shocks of
manifold translation, when it is not
only the delight of the cloister, but
bears the eloquent thumb-gloss of a
doughty controversialist like Bishop
Miner, is charter member of
'Evangelicar Libraries, (albeit sadly
disguised), is sold every year as a
holiday volume, and is even found on
the reading tables of men and women
who affect to scott at the things of
God, the author must assuredly have
had a mighty message for the hearts
of his fellowmen. 1t has been said
that a classic is untranslatable. This
holy classic is surely an exception to
the rule. It's original Latin possesses
a never-failing charm for the scholar
but Cations English version con-
serves the same quality.
Almost the only test the work could
not stand was the mayhem practiced
by Protestants who eliminated or tor
tured the book on Holy Communion"
and calmly amputated whatever failed
to square with their clumsy theology.
The late Archdeacon Farrar's version
is curious instance of true scholar
ship wrestling with constituencies
religious prejudice. Farrar could not
resist the beauty of the limitation
as whole, but with literary dis
honesty that sullies his name, he re-
moved entire Catholic passages and
hideously maltreated Others, 1T is
interesting and perhaps, encouraging
to note that Protestant scholars have
for the most part abandoned this mex
cusable procedure, and that the Eng
lish version published not long ago by
the Oxford University Press states in
its preface that it has rendered the
original faithfully. But it surely took
Protestants an unconsciously long
time to learn the lesson of elementary
literary morality.

THE LAW.

'Tis a truth as old as the soul OF
things
Whatever We SOW We reap.
TITS the cosmic law that forever
springs
From the unimagined deep.
IT'S shown in the manifold borrowings
OF the race; in remorse with it's
secret things
That he who grief to his brother
brings
In his turn shall some day weep.
s4p%
To the man who hears his victims
cries
And hardens his heart at the sound,
At last a Nemesis dread shall rise
From out of the void profound.
Who sows in selfshness, greed and
hate
Shall gain his deserts in the years
that wait.
For the slow and remorseless wheel
of Fate,
Forever turns round and round.
If We give out of mercy and love and
light,
The same shall return to you;
For the standards of right and infinite
And the scales of the gods are true.
By it's good or evil each life is
weighed;
In motives and deeds is it's record
made;
When your wages at last fall due.

TO MARY.

Evenings shadows fast are falling;
Twilight deepens in. the west;
Nesting birds their mates are calling
Wanderers come home to rest.
Lonely mountains lie before us;
Crimson cloudlets far behind.

Shelter us, for thou art kind!
Swiftly passes earthly splendor;
Gladness flies, and griefs remain.

Pity us and soothe our pain,
Be thou nigh to help and cheer us
Guarding thou our every breath.
Loving Mother, be thou near us,
Now and at the hour of death!
