Y oooD HAN REWARDED.

We were very glad to learn OF the re-
cent action of the Maple street Baptist
church towards it's pastor, Rev. y. Bates.
In a recent meeting of the church ~
was voted by the whole body to give
him a large increase m salary We
think that the church could not have
taken d better way in showing the
love they have for the one who lead
them in the way Of truth. But there
comes some more; the church also 90.
nated him two tons Of coal They have
the golden rule well applied now. No
church can do too much for good
pastor. The burden that rests upon
them of some of those Responsibilities
lis a great rest. 1t should not take
much for large membership to donate
"a ton Of coal to their shepherd.
Maple STREET Baptist chnch has tax
on the lead of all the churches in the
city, whose pastors who have to supply
themselves. Let others follow.

LOUISIANA CATHOLIC SOCIETIES
PROPOSE IMPORTANT REFORMS.

(By N. c. w. c. News Service.)
New Orleans, May ia bill re.
quiring that at least 4S hours public

the issuance of marriage licenses will
be introduced in the present session OF
the Louisiana legislature at the In.
stance of the Louisiana Federation Of
Catholic Societies, which has recently
concluded it's seventeenth annual meet
ing in this city.
The Federation had previously
adopted resolution urging this safe
guard for marriage, but as the legis-
lature was not in session at the time
no bill could be proposed. It is now
intended to present the measure and
urge its prompt passage.
Attempts now being made in var.
ious states and in Congress to hamper
Catholic schools were condemned In
a resolution unanimously adopted by
the Federation. Copies of the resolu-
tion were ordered distributed among
members Of the Louisiana delegation in
Congress and the Senators and Rep.

mittees on education.
Pledges Of support to the Catholic
press, reproval Of immodesty in WON.
ems dress, and condemnation Of 90
cialism and kindred teachings were tho
subjects Of other resolutions voted BY
the Federation. The report Of the COM
mittee on public morals denounced

 LasSater also urged separation of large stockyards from packer control. The yards. he said. should not be owned by a holding company but by the railroads as a transportation ad- lunct.
