may be Interested the purpose being
to ascertain as far as possible where
employment may be had, and what
are the labor conditions generally
throughout the state.
In addition to this, there has been
maintained for some time bureau for
securing employment for returning
soldiers, sailors and marines, in the
old Minnesota Club building, now
commonly known as the Soldiers and
Sailors Club. This bureau has been
maintained and supported partly by
public subscription and partly by the
support given by the city and by the
several agencies combined in the re-
cent united war drive. This bureau
has, since it's organization, carried on
it's stationery and advertised as CO.
operating with it, the names, Knights
of Columbus and National Catholic
War Council, although up to the pres
ent time, neither organization has ma
terially contributed to the support or
maintenance of this work, which has
been in operation Systematically since
about January 25.
l had Mr.. Hanley meet Mr.. Val J.
| Rothschild, vice president of that bu-
reau, and it has been agreed that the
National Catholic War Council shall
| take over and assume the salary of
one of the employees of this bureau,
putting the National Catholic War
Council in substantially the same po-
sition as the Y. NJ c. A. and other
Iagencies. This mans name is Henry
lVenneman. 1t may, perhaps, be pos
sible also that some funds will be
contributed by the War Council to the
support of this bureau.
In Minneapolis, Robert D. Brown, {
very active Knight of Columbus, ant
a returned soldier. has been put il
charge of the work and will also CO
loperate with a similar bureau organ
lied there. He will have to assis
him, Mr.. e. A. Trudeau, who is al
ready employed in the bureau at Min
neapoliS
By this plan, we have utilized tn
existing organizations in both cities
and have in fact become contributor
to their maintenance, instead of ur
dertaking any separate agency, whlcl
was thought to be inadvisable.

club composed of 100 students, sang
and $50 Cretin boys under the direc-
ton of fifty Fourth Degree Knights

throng. Due to the fact that many
boys were unable to gain enrolment
during the year because of crowded
conditions, many parents of eighth

for the next September classes. 1t is
hoped that more classroom space can
be found during the vacation period

THE FACTS AND PALACES OF
MODERN Spirits MIS- SIR
CONAN DOYLE IN coMMUNIcA.
TON WITH THE SPIRITS OF
THE DEAD?
written by Sir j. Godfrey Raupert,
x. S. c.
ARTICLE ".

A fourth and still more fatal fallacy
contained in Sir Conan Doyle's argu-
ment is his absurd contention that the
information which is now being OBJ
taired from the spirit world will ne
necessitate the reconstruction of the
Christian religion.
He is, of course, not the first re-
constructionist Of whom we have
heard. Some years ago Mr.. R. J.
Campbell Of the New Theology"
movement attempted a similar thing;
but we know today how hopelessly
that movement has come to grief.
Like all these text mongers he pre-
scented to the world interpretations of
Holy Writ which the context could
not possibly bear and which any child
in the Sunday school could have re-
futed. Sir Conan Doyle's interpreted
tiOns are of this order. Let me take
single instance. He quotes the text
from the Apocalypse: Il heard a
voice from heaven saying to me:
Write;;" and he interpTets this as a
command or INDUCTION to employ auto
matte writing. But the context in the
first place indicates that it is not
some discarnate human intelligence
that gives the injunction but the Holy
Spirit; and secondly, that the writer
is not to wait for what may come
through his pen but is told what to
write. And what he is to write is:
blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord It is in fact the enunciation
OF divine truth or law put in poetical
language, and any unbiased reader
would see this when the whole text is
quoted. 1t must be clear that if the
New Revelation" is to be built upon
this kind Of juggling with texts it is
not likely to prove a very great sue
cess

Destruction of Faith.

But it is evident that Sir Conan
Doyle's reconstruction Of Christianity
is really a destruction of it, since all
that is vital in and characteristic of
it is eliminated in the process. l will
here but take a single dogma of His
torical Christianity which all reason
able men will admit to be fundamental
Sir Conan Doyle tells US that We must
concentrate more upon Christ's life
and much less upon his death, etc"
In his book he develops this thought
more fully and tells us that since
there never was a fall there could be
no need of Atonement and Redemp-
ton and that zone can see no justice
in yiCarious sacrifice, nor in the God
who could be placated by such means"
Now what is this but ''a making void
Of the cross of Christ" as ST. Paul
puts it. and relapsing into pagan
ism? For if any fact is clear from
history it is the fact that the doctrine
of the atoning and Tedeeming death of
the Son of God is a fundamental
primitive truth of Christianity. For
its profession thousands and tens of
thousands Of the best and noblest of
men and women of. all races and ma
tons have died, from it the saints and
martyrs of all ages have drawn their

West Union, Ohio, March 14-All

Of which amounted to s12,574.3S.

such is not the case. Almost every

Joshua had now conquered the
greater part of the land of Canaan ana
divided 1t among the tribes Of Israel
as an everlasting possession. 1t was
subdiyided to families and could not
be alievated for period beyond for
ty-nine years. Forty-eight cities had
been allotted to the tribe of Lew for
residence, but they had only the SUI
burbs for their gardens. They were to
be supported by 1.-THE of the increase
of the other eleven tribes.
AS the Lord had instructed Moses SO
Joshua designated certain of the cities
of the Levites as cities of refuge. The
country on the East side of the Jor-
dan had been conquered by Moses,
and divided among two and half OF
the tribes, and in that territory Moses
had selected three cities OF refuge
Three more were to be chosen on the
West side of the Jordan, for there
were to be six in all, and more If more
of the country promised to Abraham
should be conquered.
What were these cities for? In the
early history of the world before laws
had been enacted and courts estab-
lished, such as we have, it was the
universal custom for near kinsmen to
avenge the wrongs of men, If man
was murdered it was both the privil-
eye and the duty of his nearest OF kin
to inflict a punishment on the slayers
commensurate with the crime.
And so of other wrongs. The law
of Moses advances step above this
If the homicide was committed acct
dentally, as we say, with no intention
of killing, then the slayer could flee
to these cities of refuge and escape
the avenger. At the gate OF the city
he met the elders and declared MS
case, and if they were favorably i'm
pressed he was admitted and his pur-
suers were foiled. Later he was eX-
amined or tried before the congrega-
tion and condemned or acquitted. II
acquitted he had the freedom OF that
city until the death of the high priest
whom he was set at liberty. All this
would act as a punishment.
These cities were centrally located
so that every such slayer would nave
a fair chance to escape. the ROADS
we're forty-eight feet wide and were
kept in good repair so that the slayer
might have every chance to save his
life.
These cities were types of Christ
The sinner fees to Him for refuge;
Heb. 6:1S, and thereby escapes the
penalty Of Gods law that he has vio-
lated. This is the glory of Christ, lie
stands between justice and the sinner
and gives to him pardon that shields
him from an avenging judge.
In this day of progressive Christian
ity, prisons originally designed only
for punishment of the criminal ana
protection to the country, have been
turned into reformatories, and Chris
tian and humanitarian methods are
being used to accomplish this result
Much has already been done in this
line, and much more is being attempt
ed. In our own state of Kentucky, the
prison at Frankfort is now called THE
State Reformatory" and men are be-
ing prepared for citizenships when
their terms of confinement expire.
