MILITANT CATHOLICITY GAINS

as something dying and negligible
something only TO be tolerated when
| it was extremely weak. as it is treat
ed, for instance, In England,
The Masonic institution, which is
the chief organized enemy of the
Faith, acquired prodigious power
and all kinds of catch-phrases, ulti
mately anti-Catholic, became current
as though they were things to be
taken for granted by every reasonable
man.
The story of the nineteenth century
has been the story Of reaction
against all this and the latter part Of
the nineteenth century was essential
ly a struggle between the great resur-
fection of catholicism especially in
France-and the old tradition from
the eighteenth century. that Catholics
ism was dying and could be neglected.
France was the arena of that strug-
gle, and remains the arena to the pres
eTt day And what is true~of France
is also largely true of Italy. There is
nothing more absurd than to regard
the fate Of the Church as being In the
hands of those who-as do many in
Spain only desire to leave it undis-
turbed, and are Indifferent to it's vitali-
ty; or of those who-1as do some in
parts of the German Empire and in
Holland are content to accept a posi-
ton of inferiority and tutelage. The
future of the Church lies with those
countries where Catholics maintain the
fight, attack their enemies, and in
crease their strength upon the mind
of society as a whole. The focus of
that struggle is upon French soil, and
il France had been defeated it would
have been a mortal wound to that out

irish and Poles, Catholic Hope.
Carrying his dictum to it's logical
conclusion, it would seem, according
to Mr.. Belloc, that the future of the
Church lies very much among the Irish
and the Poles. Among both these peo
pies he said, Catholicism is vivid and
intense, and it is aided by being close
ly intermixed with their national feel
ings as ill-treated and neglected ma
tons.

Kindly inform me if ST. Peter was
a Jew or Syrian?
st. Peter was a Jew born in Cali
lee in the town of Bethsaida on the
Lake of Genesareth. His Original
name was Simon and his fathers
name was John; our Lord changed his
name to Peter, which means rock,
when He made st. Peter the rock
upon which He was to build His
Church. St. Peter was diving in Cap
harnaum with his mother-in-law when
he was called to become an apostle of
our Lord. He was married. and so far
as VIC know, the only one of the
Apostles to have wife. AS no men
ton is made of his wife in the New
Testament, it is concluded that either
she was dead at the time of our
Lords public life, or st. Peter aban-
doned the married life with the call oil
His Master.

BY DR.. William E. Barton.
III is instructive to go back hun,
dred years and to remember that
Just that long ago James Monroe had
been president just as long as Mr..
Harding now has been on the job,
and that prices were behaving just
as they are behaving now. Flour had
been selling at SO to SIT a barrel
since 1917 and it fell to So and Sc,
and all the farmers cried out that
they were ruined.
There was a lot of unemployment
and very general complaint at re-
duction of wages. Everybody want
ed wages to keep up and the cost
| of living to come down, and they
both came down together.
But one of the most interesting
things that occurred a hundred
years ago was the eXhuming of the
remains of Major Andre. He had
been tried by court martial by COM
mand of George Washington and
hanged as spy, Oct. 2, 1870. But
the American people who have not

his part in the waiter which result
ed in the death of Andre, held even
then the character of the latter in
high respect.
Arnold betrayed the trust and for
the sake of gain became traitor;
Andre, who conducted the negotia-
ton, was true to the country that
employed him, and whose uniform
he wore, and for his share in the
same despicable business is held to
honor.
1t seems a rather thin line be-
tween honor and dishonor, but it rests
on the basis of loyalty to a trust
accepted.
And so, hundred years ago, to-
morrow, the government that had
hanged John Andre, exhumed his
body, gave it oyer to the accredited%
representatives of the British gown
eminent, saw ii safely aboard Brit-E
ish ship of war, and saluted as .iti
sailed away to be buried in West |
minister Abbey.
Getting ones self hanged is not al
sure way to fame, hut several of
the worlds most famous people have
achieved it in that way.
