TO CATHOLICS
HILAIRE BELLOC OFFERS AD-
VICE ON MODE OF ACTING WITH
REGARD TO THE THREATENED
PERSECUTION.
(By N. c.. w. c.: News Service.)

(By N. c.. w. c.: News Service.)
At a conference of the Catholic
Young Mems Society, held in Wigan,
England, under the presidency of the
Archbishop of Liverpool, Mr.. Hilaire
Belloc delivered a telling address in
which he offered some important guild
ance to Catholics, regarding the part
they should take in any legislation
that is contrary to Catholic doctrine.
Looking ahead" Mr.. Belloc said.
1T is quite certain We shall have in
the near future legislation or DEGREES
affecting, at any rate, the less well-to-
do of the population, which will con-
fict with Catholic doctrine and the
Catholic view Of life.
Our attitude must depend upon de-
gree. If Catholics make it clear why
they differ so much, SO as to make
their resistance appear warranted, it
is possible by that very protest we
! may prevent the evil we fear. Let
us wait until the evil comes, and then
let us observe proportion and degree.
If the degree is passed, after which e.
| Catholic must refuse, we must make
up our minds to resistance, for there
is a point after which there can be
no compromise.
But before there a be any ques-
ton of deying the law, there must
be clear definition. Catholics must
know what it is exactly they refuse
to do, and why. Consequently we
must be guided by ecclesiastical au'
thority. ] dwell on this point for a
moment, because non-Catholics get the
idea that the Catholic Church is a
highly organized body despotically
governed, much like a regiment in time
of war.
THAT is the very antithesis of the
Catholic temperament, the very op
posites of the intellectual freedom
which is the mark of the Catholic
/! Church. IT is within the Catholic
Church alone that we hear discussed
today all the fundamentals of philos
ophy. But ecclesiastical authority Is
absolutely necessary where corporate
action is concerned
"If any one has to resist, the task
is not so formidable as is imagined
Small as the Catholic body is in this
country, it knows what it thinks, anC
it has a determined position. That il
of enormous Importance. A minority
which is logical, reasonable, and unit
ed, is a very much stronger thing thar

. RESPECTFUL SUGGESTION.

One regrettable effect Of the
late war, as regards this country,
is the spreading of propaganda to
minimize the work Of our fore
fathers in the American revolu-
ton. Text books for school and
college now seek to show that the
revolution, instead of being as it
really was, an epoch in human his
tory, was simply a friendly tilt
with the mother country, and
that the best feeling prevailed all
around. This is to distort facts
and to lower patriotism among
those of the rising generation.
Several years ago the Knights of
Columbus published a special cdi-
ton of DR.. Walsh's "Popes and
Science thereby comforting an
immense good on Church and
State. 1t would be well at this
time to bring out popular editions
of one or two other books that are
classics in American history. We
refer to two works by the late Mr..
Martin l. J. Griffin of Philadelphia,
Americas premier Catholic his
torian. These works are, "Catho-
lies in the American Revolution
and Commodore Barry" Mr..
Griffin was pre-emincntly a his
torian, not a mere compiler, that
is, he wrote nothing but what was
based upon incontrovertible facts
as furnished by incontestable doc
umcntary evidence.
The Knights of Columbus would
surely be accomplishing a splendid
educational work were they to
take up the publication Of a pop,
ular edition Of one or the other of
these excellent books. It would
be a welcome addition to the X
of c. edition of the Catholic Ency.

A THOUGHTFUL SYSTEM.

One OF the many beauties Of the
Christian religion is to be found in
the constant suggestion which it
presents of things eternal. Life in
it's manifold aspects tends to lead
one away from mans final goal
and destiny. Material pursuits,
which should prove of but passing
interest, usually engross the ener-
gies and monopolize the activities
of the greater portion of mankind.
The result is that God and the
things Of the soul are relegated to
one day in each week, if that
much.
The Catholic Church, however,
like a watchful mother, continue
ally appeals to her children to fix
their gaze on the better things. To
this appeal she adds the force OF
law or counsel. endeavoring on ev.
cry occasion to raise our minds to
heaven and its beauties. For this
purpose and to this end does she
institute festivals and devotions
in order that by a variety Of at.
fractions she may win our souls
lover to a closer view and, as a con.
sequence, a more fervid interest in
spiritual rewards.
Thus it is that at this time Of
the year, while preparing for the
: commemoration Of the sublime
mystery Of the Incarnation, the

ish persons who think only of them
selves?
A. By taking away the liberty
of any one who is dangerous to
others.
