ways; but the. evil tendency is
needed and worked out into def
mite action.
Again, the criminal may devel-
OPP only at later stage. It is all
rot to say, as even some Catholic
writers incline to believe, that
when a man goes wrong, it is a
sign that he was always bad at
heart. Such a statement pre-sup-
poses that this man lived merely
a life of hypocrisy, which is not
always, perhaps seldom, the case.
Were Adam and Eve bad at heart
before their fall? Was Lucifer's
sudden change due to the work
ings of one who was always bad
at hearth
The plain fact is that man is
permitted by God and Nature to
make any use he sees fit of that
which is the gift of every human
being. Hence, even the good may
yield to the lure Of what their
blinded reason suddenly presents
as superior benefit, and they
fall into temptation, commit
crime, are criminals. Were this
a sign that they were "born Grim
inals," then useless would it be
to try and win them back to a
state Of grace and repentance !;
useless would be the sacrament of
penance, useless the heroic lives
OF great penitents: in a word,
such theory at once reduces
man, even the evil-doer, to the
state Of a machine where neces-
sity rules ineXorably. 1t destroys
at one stroke not only the sacra-
mental system Of the Church but
the doctrine of free will in gen.
eral.
Yes, few persons may be
criminals from the dawn of rea-
son; but do not say that the ref
ormation Of the criminal is a
hopeless task: Catholic experience
can point to countless cases Of
hardened criminals brought back
to life of virtue. They were
men with a moral, not a mental,
looseness. Argument, persuasion
and grace have effected more
cures, have Strengthened out more
lives, than all the materialistic
psychologists. and theorizers
that affect to diagnose human de-
pravity and it's causes. Such
thinkers may be sincere in their
investigations, but they begin at
the wrong end. Let them start
from the will and it's functions,
and then their conclusions will be
more consonant with correct
reason.

WASTING SYMPATHY.

Every time the '..Voice Of the
People" is heard in the columns
of the public press, one may look
for an outpouring Of desolate
walls and of fierce invective: that
is why the Voice Of the People
usually is raised. In these pro-
found elueubrations and exhaus-
tive studies in the world of ethics
and criminology on the part of
clerks, laborers and few sciol-
lists, one may expect TO be sur
prised, shocked and irritated.
One of the pet fads of Voice-of-
the-People writer's, usually is the
attacks they make on the law of
capital punishment. Sympathy is
poured out in streams for the
poor criminal; his crime is not
really imputab1e to him: crime is
but a disease, you know, and all
the criminal needs is an operation
to make him a respected and meek
member Of human society. Capt.
tai punishment also is useful
form Of operation that is guaran-
+teed to cure the evil-doer Of his
dangerous and murderous tenden-
cies; but Vox Pop considers the
extreme penalty too severe and
unpleasant a remedy. He cannot
deny, however, that it surely is
effective, at least as regards the
individual criminal. (
Now, the object of capital pun
ishment is three-fold: to punish
the wrong-doer, to warn others
and to protect society. These ends
were always held in view by the
Supreme Lawgiver Himself when
as we read in the Old Testament
death was prescribed for various
offences.

the criminal, but not enough; il

CHURCH GOODS IN UNITED
STATES.

(By N. C. w. G. News Service)
The Council of the Dublin Indus.
trial Development Association has re.
ceived from the United States certain
correspondence with reference to a
market in this country for church
goods of all descriptions-metal work,
vestments, lace, etc. Steps are to be
taken at once by the Council to elicit
the views of producers, and in the
meantime, the suggestion has been
made that Irish manufacturers of the
goods mentioned should form an or
ganization and send representatives
to America to call on the clergy and
secure orders. 1t is recognized that
facts disseminated by the N. G. w. G.
News Service have largely helped to
bring this matter to a head.
This is not the only way in which
America is rendering aid to Irish in
dustries. Expert Information has
been received from the United States
relative to the most approved meth
DDS of burning anthracite coal for in
dustrial purposes. This information
is now at the disposal of persons in

use Of Irish coal, which is Of the same
class as that SO largely used in the

A MODEL WORKMAN.

Thinkers and legislators in all
ages have endeavored to discover
panacea that would reconcile the
workman to his toll. Material,
commercial reasons usually are adj
duced, and the worker is lured on
by a promise Of better wages, less
labor and greater advantages for
himself and family.
Religion, however, a strong and
effective belief in Divine Provi-
dence, is assuredly the best known
remedy for industrial and social
unrest. When applied to the in
dividual in his own life usually it
succeeds in placing labor in a diff
ferent light; it enables the toiler
to see the nobility of labor, of all
labor that is rightly directed and
performed under the natural i'm
pulse implanted by the God Of
Nature in the heart of man.
Never in the history of the race
has the real value and purpose of
human toll been so eloquently por-
trayed as in the little Family down
in the humble town of Nazareth.
Joseph and Mary sheltered God
as their Guest. He was to them a
SonS4he most powerful in the uni
versak At His bidding worlds
came into existence: at His nod
the furies of Nature were stilled
and became reverent. Surely did
the sanity couple have a right to
expect at least the ordinary pleas
ures and comforts Of life of ease.
This doubtless was not too much
to ask of the omnipotent One in
their family circle.
And yet, not only did Christ re-
frain from using His power to
such an end, but He actually be-
came a laborer Himself. He as
sisted the other workman, Joseph
the carpenter, and together they
labored and toiled to provide the
few necessities for Mary and them
selves. 1t is not recorded that
they possessed a large bank ac-
count; that they looked forward
to an old age of luxurious COM
fort and ease. But they labored
on, day in and day out, convinced
that their very work was the high
est form of homage to God. In
the Garden of old had it been said
that in the sweat Of his brow
should man eat bread; and Joseph,
the carpenter, carried out this
prophecy in his own person to the
end of his days.
Doubtless Christ could have sur
rounded the little Family with
sufficient means to exempt them
from manual labor; but He desired
to impress upon a reluctant world
the actual value of human toll.
Before the Babe was born Joseph
worked at his humble trade: after
the advent Of the Redeemer Jo-
seph continued to labor as hereto
fore. The nobility of labor hence
forth would bear a divine stamp,
and Joseph has come down the
ages as the Model Workman for
all time.
