Rightly remarks the Western
World, of Des Moines: AT Lenox,
Massachusetts, a maltese cat was
given a fine funeral by her de-
voted and grief-stricken mistress.
The cat died in New York and
was conveyed Chat is, the re
mains') to the family estate near
Lenox ina special auto truck, be-
ing enclosed in metal casket.
All employees on the estate. were
obliged to attend the funeral
services at a cemetery within
the estate. Some reports say the
cat cost $1,000 and some say it
was valued at $4,000 by the
mourning family. No report is
given Of the funeral expenses,
however. People may smile, but
such things are not funny at all.
They are sickening, particularly
when such stories are printed
alongside accounts Of the starving
people in war-desolated lands.

THE FORTY HOURS.

According to a schedule made
recently by the Most Reverend
Archbishop, each church and in
stitution in turn in the Archdio-
cese will have the Forty Hours
Devotion on certain specified days
throughout the year. In this
way the great center Of Catholic
worship and belief, the Most
Blessed Sacrament, will be
brought wildly before our
people. -
In the whirl Of present-day ac-
tivities there may possibly creep
in here and there a tendency to
forget or, at least, to neglect the
chief object Of religious worship.
The modern slogans, brother
hood of man," and service, +"
frequently are pushed SO far that
even in the Catholic mind the ne
cessity Of divine worship, as
represented in the Blessed Sacra-
ment on the altar, may be some
what obscured.
While it may be true that re-
ligion in it's larger sense means
service to our neighbor, it is also
fact that religion means primar-
lily the devotion Of the soul to
God. Pious persons are some
times led to direct their religious
fervor towards this or that saint
to such an extent that they ne
glect the real Catholic devotion to.
wards the Blessed Sacrament. The
Communion of Saints is a tenet
Of Catholic belief and at the
same time one of the most con-
soling and efficacious doctrines of
our religion. 1t should not, how
ever, be allowed to take prece-
dence in our thoughts or our ac-
tons over the worship of our
Blessed Lord in the Tabernacle.
For this reason it is eminently
fit that from time to time our
Catholic people be brought face
to face with this wondrous devo-
ton in all it's splendor and lowell.
ness. Our Divine Lord rests ever
on our affairs not merely as a
guest, to be more or less ne
elected, but as a perpetual object
Of homage and alteration. AS a
non-Catholic has remarked, "a
church without the Real Presence
is merely a beautiful conventicle
while with the Real Presence il
becomes the very court Of God
The Forty Hours Devotion
therefore, should make a strong
appeal not only to those people
who usually are noted for THEN
piety and goodness of heart an6
conduct, but to every Catholic
who is in the least sense worthy
Of that name.

Catholic and Protestant Progress

have said enough to emphasize the
point that Protestants should keep
their eyes open to the fact that the
Roman Catholic Church intends to
move forward more strongly than ever
before. If we should assert that it is
the evident purpose of the leaders to
make America Catholic they might
come back at us with the rejoinder
that Professionals would like to make
the United States Protestant.
But in SO far as certain objec-
tionable features in the historic policy
of the Catholic Church influence it's
leaders today, or are finding express
sion in ways inimical to freedom, toll
erance and genuine brotherhood, We
believe that such attitudes and en-
deavors should be discovered, ex-
posed and resisted. The confessed
desire of some Catholic leaders to Sc
cure a division of the public school
funds should be fully understood. In
some states excellent laws designed
to improve the public schools have
encountered the stout opposition Of
Roman Catholic authorities. Only
just now at the polls some men who
had stood strongly in the legislature
| for betterment of the public school
| system were made the object of bitter
and unsuccessful attack by the local
Roman Catholic forces. We do not
| want to see either Protestants or
| Catholics lining up in hostile ranks
on either local, state or national is
/ ues. Certainly the Protestant Church
will not be the first to drag into pol
tiles the religious ISSUE
The Congregationalist sees the alb
solute necessity of a closer solidarity
on the part Of the Protestant forces
of America, mot primarily to combat
Catholics, but to prevent Protestant
tism from splitting into too many par
ties working at cross purposes, and
from becoming collection of isolated
and ineffective units Further:
eve Professionals need to put out
more literature of the first order, set
| ting forth the fundamentals of our
Protestant beliefs, both as it affects
Christian faith and practice and con-
corning the Christian order of So
ciety. Such literature as this would
when necessary expose fallacies and
sophistries, but in the main it would
be constructive in character, aiming
to make the Protestant Interpretation
and application of the Christian re-
ligion ineligible, attractive and po-
tent
"The new life and purpose in the
Roman Catholic Church in America
should not cause any Protestant re-
action toward bigotry, but should be
a spur to all Christian bodies, and
especially to those that trace their
lineage back to Plymouth Rock, to be
iup and doing, shoulder to shoulder,
heart to heart"

WILLIAMS IS Answered
HIS BLIND CONFREnE PAYS TRIB.
UTE TO THE IRISi-SENATOR
GORE QUOTES MISSlSSiPPPS
GREATEST ORATOR..

Senator Thomas P. Gore of Okla
homa in a recent brief speech before
the Senate, paid a beautiful tribute
to Ireland, quoting as an offset to the
bitter abuse of Senator John Sharp
Williams, the words of the man whom
Mississippi always lovingly proclaimed
it's greatest orator. Senator Gore
said GAS a native of Mississippi
love to quote what Mississippi's great
greatest orators had to say concern
ing the Sons of Erin:
"It has given the world more than
its share of genius and of greatness.
1t has been prolific in statesmen, war
riors and poets. It's brave and gener-
Gus sons have fought successfully all
battles but their own. In wit and
like its history, moves to tears by its
sweet but melancholy pathos.'
"These words, as true as eloquent,
fell from the lips of Sergeant Smith
Prentiss on an historic occasion in
New Orleans. In every forum where
the champions of liberty have been
permitted to plead her cause has been
heard the voice of Irish eloquence.
On every battlefield where men, have
died for liberty will be found the
graves of Irish heroes. Every cabi-
net to which worth can win its way
has been adorned by Irish genius AMI
craftsmanship. Irish valor helped to
win American independence, and Irish
chivalry help to maintain the Ameri-
can Union.
IF it be true that one swallow does
not make summer, it is equally true
: that one snowbird does not make a
! winter No one vandal, however will
ing, can destroy the monuments of
Irish genius. No one iconoclast, how
ever powerful, can demolish the stat
ues which commemorate the virtue
and valor of Irelands sons. No one
Musselman, however anxious, can
burn the Libraries or blot out the bril-
liant and consecrated pages on which
are inscribed the sufferings and sac
rifices of Emmett and his countrymen.
"The Democratic party owes the
| lIlSu NOle ueUI Which, IL Cdu ldIuiy
pay. 1t is in debt to the Irish Demo
Gratis for every Democratic victory
since the Civil War; The following
language will be found in the national
Democratic platform of 1892: We
tender our profound and earnest sym
pathy to those lovers of freedom who
are struggling for home rule and the
great cause of local self-government
in Ireland Similar assurances are
contained in other platforms. Shall
democracy keep the word of promise
to the ear and break it to the hope?
Immortal little island.
No other land or cline
! Has placed more deathless heroes
In the Pantheon of tino.."

ESTATE is DIVIDED AMONG DE.
SERVING INSTITUTIONS.

The entire estate, worth $4,000,
possessed by Jerome F. Good, who
died November 20, at Pittsburg, was
left to charity. He made bequest
of $1,000 each to the Sacred Heart
Church and St. Peters Church, which
is to be used for Masses for the re-
pose of the souls of the deceased
members of his family, as we'll as his
own. He placed $500 in trust with
the Union Trust Co., the income of
which is to be used in caring for the
family burial plot in st. Marys Gene
terry. In the event that the cemetery
is abandoned at any future date the
money is to go to the Little Sisters
of the Poor.
The deceased directed that cne-half
of the remainder of his estate is to
go to the Little Sisters of the Poor,
for maintenance of the Home for the
Aged. and the other half is to be
equally divided between St. Paul's
Orphan Asylum and St. Joseph's pro-
tectOry.

PAUL OF TARSUS.

If one were to select the model
Christian Of the ages he would
make little or no mistake by
choosing Saul Of Tarsus, perse-
cutor Of the faithful and guest of
the seventh heaven. The wonders
Of divine grace were exemplified
in him in superb degree. His
whole career was a thing of earth
surrounded and permeated and
shot through with the splendors
Of God Himself. His life summed
up the quintessence of Christian
living and conduct. No virtue
was foreign to his spiritual man.
ual Of arms; the tactics Of sane
tity and the strategy Of divine
warfare were all utilized in win
ming the victory for Christ and
His servant.
If we look for zeal, he tells us
that he wished to be anathema, an
outcast, for his brethren. He who
was rapt cen to the seventh
heaven and gave ear to the secrets
of God, gloried not in his unique
privilege, but gloried only III his
infrmities. And those infirmities
The very elements Of earth and sea
and sky combined to break the

Ireland: "While with deep devo-
