Forty-eight sitting legislatures besides
our federal Congress are engaged, by
the strong arm of the law, in educat-
ing our citizens unto righteousness, in
keeping us good whether we desire to
be good or not and in increasing our
chances of walking in the ways of the
transgressor. Perhaps it is not sur
prising that as in the industrial world
we have developed such capacity for
mechanics that our machines function
almost like human beings, and as in
business we have perfected systems
of finance that stop losses and elm
mate wastes and balance perfectly, so
in the world of conduct and character
building we should fancy that eff
cheney is the main thing and that con-
formity is the equivalent of conviction.
Not so, however, are men produced,
not SO We're the fathers of this great
nation engendered; not so will the
citizen of tomorrow, if he is to be
worthy of his spiritual progenitors,
grow to the stature of civic manhood.
Our country was built on the idea of
mans freedom, not on the idea of man
wealth, and it was built on the idea of
freedom because it was the belief of
our fathers that men were worthy to
be free and that freedom was better
than food or comfort or prosperity or
anything less high than mans immor-

In no merely conventional sense we

American victories some fled with the

the war of 1872, it was New England
that was disloyal, and one of the most

less the foreign born than the native

SUPPORT OF THE CLERGY.


: The religious duty of supporting the
clergy is clearly set forth in the Old
and New Testament, and the Catholic
Church commands her children to do
so by a special precert. In the. Old
Law the Jews set aside one-tenth of
their flocks for their priests: OF all
the tithes of oxen and sheep and goats
that pass under the shepherds rod,
every tenth that cometh. shall be sane
titled to the Lord (Lev. xvii. 80:
Gen. xviii '22}. Again, God ordered
the people to make certain specified
donations to Ntl1e priests when they
exercised their ministry. Thus,
women after child birth offered "a
lamb, for a holocaust, and young
pigeon, or turtle. for sim Uev. xii,
6);; or if too poor, like the Blessed
Virgin .Luke ii, 24),' two turtle doves,
or two young pigeons, IN and
the priest shall pray for her. (Lev.
xii. 81. SA
In the New Testament st. Paul ex.
pressly teaches the same duty:
Know you not, that they, who preach
the Gospel should live by the Cos
pei he said.

MORALITY DEFINED.

$40 r. f
No word is SO banded about by
modern philosophers with SO little
comprehension Of its true meaning as
the word morality" Father Hull
gives this definition, which may clear
up doubts in. many minds on this
fundamental matter: Morality con-
sists in doing what is right. as q duty,
that is, because / ought. A duty
means something due to somebody,
and that somebody is God. God be
ing our Maker and Master has a
right to command, and it is. therefore
our duty to obey. From God we re-
ceive all that we are, and all that we
can do; and therefore we owe, it to
Him to be what He wills us to be,
and to do what He wills us to do. And
this is Morality"

Father Dome was silent for a min
ute, then continued:
There is something more than
mere humbug in this new theory of
mental telepathy."
Then you believe in it, Father?''
the younger man asked surprised.
Il said new theory" Father Dome
continued, unheeding the question,
but should have said new name,
for like modernism and appendicitis,
it is merely new dress on an old
doll. Today we call this thing telep-
athy; in the olden days it was the
promptings of the Spirit or the whis-
pering OF our good angel. In those DAYS
when persons far apart had kindred
thoughts, aspirations and desires, and
when one soul in distress called for
another, we always said Divine Provi-
dence led them together; the one to
love and help and sustain the other.
To-day we, are told that thoughts flash
from one soul to another through like
or unlike ether waves and there is set

Redemption and Justification.

Redemption and Justification.
SO. No Original Sin.
Objection: Man is by nature good;
he has no original sin and needs no
redemption; at the most he is spoiled
by education and environment His
redemption is "back to Nature" (Rous-
seau) and development Of the natural
dispositions, which are originally
good.
Answer: Certainly, man is neither
by nature nor from original sin so
bad that he can not do anything good
nor has free will, but is willessly
ridden by the devil, as Luther taught.
1t is, alas, also true that an unchris-
tian and bad education and the vices
of the parents often become a kind
of second original sin for the chill
dren
But the time of the dream of Rous-
seau (f177S); that mans salvation is
to come from human nature being left
to itself, is long past and has gone to
the other extreme in modern pessim-
ism.
After Rousseau came the French
Revolution with its moral monsters,
who certainly did not start an era
of Paradise; and a hundred years
later they celebrated "the roaming
blond beast" and the superman with
his revaluation of all moral ideas got
the upper hand. If Revelation had
not taught us original sin, it would
have to be invented TO understand the
history of mankind
The Catholic Church, as in other
things, holds the golden mean be-
tween the naturalistic optimism of
Rousseau and the pessimistic pan
satanism of Schopenhauer and Metz
sche.
Z AS a material-spiritual being it is
natural for man that both material
and spiritual goods influence, him and
often come in conflict In Paradise
the wrong inclination towards the
sensual seeds was by Gods special
goodness restrained; but through the
sin of our first parents, which passed

ants, this inclination was set free
and inaconseauence the imagination
and thought of mars heart was prone
to evil from his youth" Gen. S::21),
thatbis, man often feels laundering
and inclination towards sensual things
in. way that is contrary to right
reason.
Christ has regained by His passion
and death on the Cross sanctifying
grace (flial relationship to God) and
imparts it to us in Baptism; but al
though Baptism takes away original
sin, still it leaves the inclination to
evil (fomes pecati) that we might
with the help of the grace of Christ
conquer it and thus merit heaven.
Without this fight there is no true
and all-pervading morality.

40 Vicarious Atonement Immoral.
Objection: It is claimed that the
redemption of Christ consists in suf-
fering and atoning for the sins Of
men; but such vicarious Suffering
in place Of another) atonement is
against justice and hence immoral;
the guilty one himself must suffer;
simply to remit his guilt and punish
rnent encourages him to evil.
Answer: It is not as simple as all
that; personal guilt is never remit.
ted without sorrow and change for
the better of the guilty one There
is no substitution possible, but it
must be done by the guilty one him.
SELF @2 ss
But no sorrow and no satisfaction
of finite being can blot out a griev-
Gus sin; since it is an offense against
an infinite being, God, it entails an
infinite guilt But if this infinite guilt
is to be atoned for it evidently takes
an infinite atonement to do SO. But
this atonement the Goodman Jesus
Christ has taken upon Himself, and it
is for the sake of His atonement that
God is ready to forgive men their
sine. But in order to take part in
this yicarious atonement we must be
sorry for our sins and must act ac-
cording to the demands of Christ,
which certainly is not immoral.
If children without reason and with
out their moral cooperation are justi-
fed, this is no contradiction, for it is
not their personal fault but only an
inherited fault that is RENTED.

al. The Sofa Eide Doctrine.
objections Only by faith alone (soIa
'fide) and not through our works we
are justified, as says the Epistle to
the Romans.
~ Answer: The text referred to- reads,
We account man to be justified by
faith without the works of the law
rom. 1929. .The works of the law
means the Mosaic law or religion
and life according to- the Mosaic
precepts; but faith means the new
Christian religion and life accord
ing to the precepts of Christ. On
his own authority Luther added to
this text the word alone after
faith"
The meaning is therefore: Not
through Moses but through Christ we
are Justified, not through the Mosaic
law but through the law of Christ
hence by doing that on. which Christ
has made justification dependent
But that is the worthy reception oil
the Sacraments of Baptism and Pen
ance, which in case of necessity per
feet love and contrition can supply.
