TURNING THE LIGHT ON THE
DARK AGES"

The Renaissance, a movement
decidedly and intensely pagan in
it's every branch, first cast asper-
sion on the ages Of Catholic faith.
Originating in desire to resur-
rect the philosophy and art of
pagan Greece and Rome, the lead
ers of this resurrection strove ear
nestly to obliterate every vestige
of Catholic achievement. Protes-
tantism, arising shortly afterward,
was inoculated by the new spirit,
and it was considered good form
thenceforth to refer to those great
Catholic periods as clark"
The writers of the new cult
seized upon this idea as an excel
lent means Of eliminating imita-
ton of and interest in the splen-
did persons and events that mark
ed those ages. In course of time
even Catholics themselves fire.
quently referred to that part of
history as dark. The veil was
drawn over it's brilliancy, and only
the few spots here and there, that
indicate the weakness Of human
nature in any age, were revealed.
The consequence finally was that
the expression, clark ages" pass

Catholic writer's took for granted
that the less said about that period
the better.
Now, all this is sad and painful
to any one who has delved ever

FRANCE AND THE VATICAN.

Catholics everywhere Will greet
with satisfaction the announce
ment that M. Jonnart has been ap-
pointed ambassador from France
to the Vatican, and that Arch
bishop Cerretti is to represent the
Holy See at Paris.
In many respects the life of a
nation is very similar to the life Of
an individual, and as the indi-
vidual frequently is brought into
closer communion with relig-
ion as the result Of stress and suf-
fering, so France, the "eldest
daughter of the Church." has been
brought back to her home after
days Of tribulation.
France severed formal relations
with Rome, and the foes of religion
were jubilant. But they overlook
ed one fact, which was that
whatever the daughter might do,
the Mother had no intention of
DESERVING her child.
The war came. Not only did
every priest Of service age in
France fock-to the colors, but
from far-off corners Of the world
they came to don the uniform of
their country. Their example was
inspiring, their enthusiasm was
contagious.
On the other hand, the Vatican,
which humanity speaking might
have been expected to repay the
slight which France had inflicted,
did nothing of the kind, but pre-
served the strictest neutrality.
How thoroughly France appre-
ciated these facts is shown in the
action Of M. BRAND in appointing
M. Jonnart as ambassadors extra
ordinary. The present premier
was the chairman of the COM
mittee which fifteen years ago re-
ported in favor Of the separation
Of Church and State. Then he
was a Saul Of Tarsus, breathing
threatenings against the Church.
But now he has seen a great light,
so that when the Senate seeks to
hinder the desire Of the nation as
expressed by the overwhelming
vote in the Chamber Of Deputies,
he cries impatiently: eve can
not wait a month more"
This remarkable change of con-
science by the French nation will
give many ito think furiously" as
the French themselves would say.
Her religious orders expelled, her
property confscated, her priests in
many cases rendered homeless, the
Church seeks no revenge. De-
nounced as unpatriotic she gives a
manifestation of patriotism among
her prosecuted servants which
thrills a nation and results in re-
newed love and respect.

WHY so FEW?

It often strikes one as extreme
ly singular that so few persons
attend daily Mass in our churches.
Priests say Mass every day, and
religious eagerly attend this sub
lime service each morning. The
laity, however, seems to consider
such an act Of worship as some
thing heroic. 1t requires the full
force of the Church to draw Cath
olics to this wonderful act once
a week; to the credit Of our peo-
pie in America be it said that they
respond nobly to the command
and they set an example to the
world in this regard. But the
daily Mass, that is something diff
ferent.
Faith teaches us that one Mass
is a treasure Of infinite value. It
is the unbloody sacrifice Of the
Cross and the oblation Of the same
Victim who redeemed the world
by that same Blood. In the early
ages of the Church the devout
Christian risked his life not once
a week but every day in order to
be present at the august and ire
mendous tragedy. He realized
that even death was a small price
to pay for the privilege of assist
ing at an act that made the angels
stand in awe.
Today it is rare to see more
than a mere handful Of people in
our churches on a weekday, I'M
less there be some special festival
to call them forth. Does not this
argue an Indifference and an I'M
dervaluing Of the infinite worth Of
the Mass? True, many persons,
perhaps the majority, find it ex-
tremely difficult, on account Of
their daily occupations, to avail
themselves of this privilege. But
is there not fairly large minor
ity that easily could spare the half
hour snatched from pleasure, Cos
sip or even ordinary work in or
der to assist at Mass?
The League of Daily Mass, al
ready established in various do
ceses of this country, reports a
distinct increase in the number Of
attendants at Mass on each day
of the week. Is it not shame
and cause for reproach to many
Of our people that they lightly
neglect this infinite source of
grace for themselves and for 9TH
ers? During war, pestilence or
other disaster the churches Of the
afflicted countries are filled daily
with devout worshippers .implor-
ing heaven s aid. Are not the ad-
vantages of the daily Mass equal
ly as precious at other times?
After all, the average Catholic
is like a child. The child will 60
to school each day he is command
ed, but not another day; the ordi-
nary Catholic will attend Mass
willingly on Sunday, but he sees
no benefit in going at other times.

FOR CAPITALISTS
SIX NEW COMMANDMENTS Of
FERED IN SPAIN.

Six commandments for modern cap
italists were laid down in an address
before a recent gathering in Spain
comprising representatives of all the
societies Of employers and workers.
They were as follows:
First-To give an example to others
and not content himself with life Of
ease.
Second-Not to despise the efforts
of the workers to improve their con-
dition.
Third-To use his wealth in a natu-
raj way by employing it to increase
the prosperity Of all.
Fourth-To apply himself to pro-
duction for the general benefit, in
stead of thinking duty is fulfilled by
regular churchgoing and the saluting
Of the national flag, while at the same
time he app-opriates the major por-
ton of the products of the earth.
Fifth-To respect the associations
of the workers.
Sixth-To avoid the adoption Of vio-
lence, because repression engenders
revolution.

England is passing not only
through the hottest weather ex-
perienced in years, but also
through a drouth, which has
lasted almost two months. This
report comes from the London
Office Of the Chicago Tribune.
Crops are being damaged and the
water supply is down to its lowest
ebb. In some places water is sold
for a penny a bucket, and at Curra-
boy a large lake has been reduced
to the size of a small pond. From
Ireland comes word that the River
Shannon, which is the largest river
in the British isles, is so dried up
that it is possible to walk across
it. Farm fires are frequent be-
cause of the sun s, heat.

For a number of a I endured
dreadful suffering on account Of a
sever case of stomach trouble. / had
to use the greatest care as to what
I ste. for At times the least little
thing would completely upset me.
Often l would become so nauseated
that I could scarcely retain a thing I
had eaten and would suffer terribly.
I tried many different medicines and
treatments, but became very d~iscour-
aged as time went by without bring
ing me any relief. and I began to
think I would have to suffer for the
rest of my life.
However. 1 wasn't ready t. give
up. mt when l saw Tanlac recon-
mended so highly I got a bottle and
started taking it and it certainly prov
ed a happy surprise. Since taking five
bottles my stomach is in splendid con-
dition and eve troubles me a par

no longer troubled with nausea. Tan
lac has certainly been a wonderful
thing for me. n I Just think it's
