LET EVERYBODY PULL

What some Of our leading business
men had to say late yesterday in CON
nection with Il proposed creditable
hospital in COrdele fired the men
who want II with great courage. They
left that meeting with the real belief
that such hospital rs was proposed
can be had.
The men who were there thorough
~ understand that hospital. al
though it sometimes proves profit
able enterprise, is not generally a
money making institution. But they
want the hospital because it fills a
need in its place much like the
churches and schools fill their
places in the advancing progressive
community. The men who attended
that meeting realize that Cordele and
surrounding community need a hos
pital--ne it badly.
When they found an expert in his
line from another community ex-
pressing his willingness to lay down
his residence where he has built for
years and come here and contribute
a handsome fund on common basis
and equal footing with the other
men in Cordele in order to have the
hospital which is needed, they were
struck favorably with the possibility
of securing such an institution. They
could hardly think in any other di'
rection.
A good hospital will assure us the
best medical service that the medical
world can provide. 1t will develop the
home profession ana encourage hoih'
physicians to do their best. Managed
BY a business directorate, it Will
maintain itself on the business which
comes to it because il deserves the
best patronage.

with real spirit and enthusiasm.

A LODGE IN THE WILDERNESS


From the Baltimore American (Rep)
When one reads the statement or
Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge anent the
passing over of the peace treaty con-
troversy into the 1920 campaign he
Is reminded OF the words Of Holy
Writ why do the heather rage and
the people imagine vain thing? He
that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh, the Lord shall hold them in
derision." How petty does the pro-
posal appear to seek to make q party
issue of the bloody fields of France
and TO call into acrimonious action
the sacred and spectral forms OF the
heroes of those baWlefi%lds! How
foolish, il not worse the proposal
that the war shall be revamped, with
domestic partisan spleen, TO see
whether the people will support their
accredited minister of peace at Paris
who is now the nobility of which IS
beyond words, or the claims OF the
Massachusetts senator for personal
vindication!
A party issue OF patriotism and
can listen to such counsels and not
sacrifice, Of service and of faith, who
wonder what manner OF man it is that
proposes so ghoulish thing? Ma
Taft says all that is needed to reach
a treaty compromise rs 10 get out
from the reservations of the foreign
relations committee the abrupt, I'M
diplomatic and bumptiously offensive
language" that is the contribution of
the spleen of a few men for the de-
feat OF the worlds hopes. Mr. Taft
is, as usual, right. Mr.. Lodge is lost
in the wilderness of his own yagaries
when he talks of lining up, the Re-
publicans Of the country for him and
against the President, upon the issue
of the treaty and the remarkable res
ervafions that he set forth some of
which in these columns have been de-
scribed as asinine and others mali
cious. while still others are praise
worthy in purpose if not in language.
The war with the peace treaty lha'
followed is no more a p&rty Issue
than would be the tragedy CT The

tend to its appropriate business in
the right way at the coming session!

MEDIEVAL LATIN.

That medieval Latin was some
been represented there are numerous
and authoritative witnesses to prove.
Take, for example, the judgment of
such a scholar as Mr. Rashdall, who,
in his book, ''The Universities of Eu-
rope in the Middle Ages" says: "The
Latin which was written by the theo-
logan or historian, the Latin of the
secretary's letter or the episcopal or
dinance, was not SO bad as is COM
monty supposed by those who have
only heard it abused 81. Both the
excellences and defects Of thirteenth
century or fourteenth-century Latin
were due to the fact that Latin
was still a living language, though
its use was confined to the clerical
class. J. S. Mill has rightly praised
the SchOOlmen for their unrivalled
capacity for the invention of tech
nical terms. The Latin language,
originally rigid, inflexible, poor in
vocabulary and almost incapable of
expressing a philosophical idea, be-
came in the hands of the medieval
thinkers flexible, subtle and elastic
And this enrichment of the language,
which has had such immensely i'm
portant effects upon the tongues of
modern Europe, was carried on not
only in the schools by the Sophists
and Theologians, but (no doubt with
less wholly satisfactory results) in the
epistles of the eclessiastics and even
in the conversation of the ordinary
schoolboy, until Latin as living Ian
guage was killed by the Ciceronian
pedantry of the sixteenth or seven
teenth century. The barbarism which
shocks the modern scholar in the
pages of the average medieval scribe
consists . in the introduction of new
words, of vernacular idioms and COM
binations, and above all of new forms
or derivatives of good Latin words
demanded by the exigencies of new
ideas, rather than in the violation of
the ordinary rules of syntaX or
accidence."

which, paraphrased in a newspaper

"a rosy-cheeked girl who does not

pathway of the Virtuous?

will, everywhere to oppose all things
that may deceive innocence, and to

Erich and rare were the gems she
wore,
And a bright gold ring on her wand
she bore; -
But oh, her beauty was far beyond

Lady, dost thou not fear to stray
So lone and lonely through this bleak
way?
Are Erin's sons so good or so cold
AS not to be tempted by woman or
gold?

No son of Erin will offer me harm
For though they love woman and
golden store,
Sir knight, they love honor and vir-
tue more"

IMPURlTY is IMPURiTY.

We were rather pleased when we
read that the manager of one Of the
most prominent theatres in the coun-
try recently barred song because it
was suggestive. Our enthusiasm
waned trifle when we learned that
the suggestiveness of the song was
ridicule of a certain public character.
The incident did not indicate desire
to purify the popular song.
The ordinary popular song of today
has little or nothing to recommend it.
It's popularity is problem. It is Of
fensive to every good taste in music
and literature. 1t is trashy and ex-
presses neither high sentiment nor
exalted feeling. These are only the
minor offenses. The impurity, open or
suggestive, is its principal fault. Many
of the most popular songs of today are
downright filthy. 1t may be veneered
but it is quite apparent. 1t is heart
breaking to hear songs whose subjects
are marital infidelity and suggestive
situations from the lips of pure young
Catholic girls who should be ignorant
of the existence of such things. 1t is
said that they are innocent of the
meaning of what they sing. The words
mean nothing to them, the air is
catchy and they see no harm. The
words are not meaningless and will
linger in the memory of the singer
and also of those who hear the song.
We have often heard that to the

authors are neglected. is often the
just complaint of some of our writer's
and apologiSts in other lands when
they are breaking lance in the cause
of Catholic truth. They find so much
ignorance in questions of Catholic
teaching and practice, and SO much
that they are compelled to explain
these matters before coming to close
quarters with their adversary. A lit

have prevented the controversy
But do Catholics themselves read

Catholic friends! From the large
number of queries sent by our people
to Question Box managers, one
might infer that it is true, even of
those of our own household, that
| "Catholiea non legnntur.'
A copy of the Bible-at least of the
New Testament-should be in every

The practice of reading religious

another, the faithful cannot hear the
Sunday Mass. In this case, Gofine's

GOOD CHEER VS.. WORRY.

Have you ever seen more pleasing
picture than a cheerful countenance
Like calm, confident being, a cheer
full person radiates light wherever he
is found, and the effect of his pres.
ence is duly felt on his companions.
A company of individuals cannot be
otherwise than agreeable if one in
their midst is of a sunny, cheerful
temperament.
As sorrow weighs the heart down,
SO does cheerfulness bear it up.
Many think that a long face, and a
sad-weary smile gain sympathy.
Perhaps so; but a sunny disposition
gains friends. Can there be any two
ways of choosing between them ?
Who does not prefer friends to the
doubtfully sympathetic words of a
chance listener?
"A merry heart goes all the day,
A sad heart tires in a mile"
Those who worry are constantly
under a strain. Worry leaves it's
marks on the face of its victim, and
is ever seeking to dispel any trace
of happiness to be found To meet
the trials and tribulations of life with
a smile, and to have no fear of, or
solicitude for the future, and to help
others by a kind word or pleasant
smile-that is true cheerfulness.

ABOUT FAMOUS CHURCHES.

The six largest churches in the
world are reputed to be ST. Peters.
at Rome; st. Paul's, London; the Ca.
thedral, Antwerp; Santa Sofia, Con.
stantinople; Notre Dame, Paris; Ca.
thedral, Buenos Aires.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre
in Jerusalem, in the Holy Land, is the
citadel of the Catholic faith in those
parts; it contains many precious rel.
les, and is built upon the spot where
our Lord was buried.
The Cathedral of Buenos Aires, Ar.
gentina, was founded in 1880 and re-
built in 1852. Dimensions 37Ox250
feet; area $500 square yards; seating
capacity $4,000 persons. 1t is one of
the six largest churches in the world.
The Cathedral of Chihuahua, Mex,
an edifice of great architectural beau
ty, is reputed to have cost over $780,
900, which was raised by a special tax
levied upon the product of the famous
Santa Eulalia silver mines located fiji
teen miles south of the city.
st. Vibiana's Cathedral at Los An
geles is probably the only church in
the United States to have enshrined
above its sanctuary the remains of its
patron, st. Vibiana, which were
brought from Europe many years ago,
encased above the high altar.
The Cathedral in the city of Mexico
is 426 feet long and 203 feet wide; has
two naves, three aisles, twenty side
chapels, and a huge marble altar. The
bare walls alone cost 100000, and
when we consider the value of the in
terror adornments, the statues and
paintings, the total cost becomes al
most fabulous.
