A CHALLENGE TO THE
CHURCH.

Mrs. Margaret Sanger, in her
latest book, ''Woman and the
New Race" just issued, boldly de-
clares that her campaign for "new
sex ideals" through the dissemina-
ton of information on contra
ceptive methods is "a challenge to
the Church.
. Undoubtedly it is.
Mrs. Sanger SCOTS at the doc
trine of original sin. According
to her opinion that doctrine was
formulated by the Catholic Church
as a part Of it's plan to keep
women in subsection to the eccle-
siastical authority. Here is what
she says on this point:
Elm the days when the Church
was striving for supremacy, when
it needed single-minded preachers,
proselyters and teachers, it fas-
tened upon the people the idea
that all sexual union in marriage
or out Of it, is sinful. ;. 1t was
held that the child was conceived
in sin, and that as a result of the
sex act, an unclean spirit had pos
session Of it. This spirit can only
be removed by baptism, and the
Roman Catholic baptismal service
even yet contains these words
Go out of him, thou unclean
spirit, and give place unto the
Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. ="
Scouting the idea of original
sin, Mrs. Sanger, of course, can
not believe in the Redemption.
And if she doesn t believe in Che
Redemption, she denies the divine
mission of Jesus Christ.
Her challenge, therefore, is to
Christianity.
Mrs. Sanger SCOTS also at the
idea that marriage is a sacrament
She declares that instead of up
lifting women through the institu.
ton Of marriage, the Hierarchy
created about the whole. love life
Of woman an atmosphere OF
degradation Her idea is that
woman marries and has children
not in obedience to the law OF
God, but solely in response to hel
amative instinct, and that when
her "mate' no longer arouses
these impulses she has the right
and the duty to break off the mar
riage relation and find another
smate" to whom she can fully
respond.

MIR. BABSON SPEAKS.

The business and financial world
of America knows that Roger Bah
son is rated as one Of the highest
statistical and financial experts in
the country. Usually his opinions
are received with respectful at
tention by our chief leaders Of
business.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Babson ad-
dressed a gathering of business
men in the Athletic Club of this
city. In the course of his remarks
on readjustment and general con-
ditions the noted expert said:
There is nothing fundamental
ly wrong with business in the
United States, and 1921 will be a
prosperous year if we realize that
the Ten Commandments are the
fundamentals of prosperity" Elk
planning this he added, "All our
troubles we owe to lack of relig-
ion. The future Of the business of
the country depends on the deyel-
opment Of the soul Of man.
It surely is refreshing to hear
such words from such a leader of
men. They have the ring Of pri-
NAL justice towards God and man.
They bark back to the old prin-
ciples of right and wrong, prin-
ciples that are imbedded deep in
the Decalogue, and they are
the basis of all relations between
God and man and between man
and his fellows. Unless the stand
ard of individual as well as OF
social justice prevails in the world
of business, the same as in other
spheres of human activity. the
world can expect nothing short OF
injustice, tyranny and the result.

PAGANIsM AND SUICIDE.

To those who regard the earth
as their beginning and their end,
and deem the qualification of the
senses as the only heaven, and the
deprivation Of health, pleasures
and material advantages as the
only hell, life may easily be a
burden and a failure.
With some millions Of Ameri-
cans holding and exemplifying
just such a philosophy, it is not
surprising that suicides are grow
ing in number among all classes
and all ages.
Suicide, indeed, is the logical
course for men and women who
believe that death may as well
come at the outset as at the close
of a term Of hopeless sickness,
poverty or adversely; for such as
can see beyond the grave no ever
lasting future which they might
win by the patient endurance Of
temporal reverses, trials and suf-
ferings. They may well withdraw
themselves from race which they
foresee they shall lose at last, do
what they will, strive as they will.
For the most part, leaving out
of the count all those bereft of
reason, the more than 1900
suicides which were recorded in
this country in 1920, are but a
roster Of the men and women who
showed the courage-or the cow
ardice-of their false, futile and
Goddess convictions. It was life,
not death, that they came to con-
template with fear and shudder-
ing. Faced by illness, pain, sor-
row, misery, want, disgrace, de-
feat, without the hope and the
help which belief and trust in God
beget, these men and women were
true in an awful sense to the
pagan philosophy that ignores the
supernatural, that spurns religion
and all it's supports, sanctions and
consultations.
In the eyes Of the Christian sui
eide is the most horrible of all the
sins and crimes that imperil the
creature and outrage the Creator
1t slaps from Gods hands, as it
were, the grace he proffers; il
thwarts His dominion over life
and and death; it cuts. short the
time for repentance, and hurls the
unprepared and despairing SOU
before the judgment seat of its
Maker.
May Gods mercy meet it then

KNIGHTS DECIDE TO LEAVE
IRISH RELIEF TO NEW
ORGANIZATION.

Joseph C. Pelletier, Supreme Adyo-
cate of the Knights of Columbus and
District Attorney of Boston, while in
New York has stated that the
Knights of Columbus would drop the
investigation of starvation among the
children of Ireland. The Knights had
initiated this investigation at the re-
quest of Herbert Hoover, chairman of
the European Relief Council, of which
the K. of C. are a constituent organi-
cation.
''At the very outset of our investi-
CATION" Mr.. Pelletier said, 1--WE had
reports from unquestionable sources
that the need for relief in Ireland at
once exceeded the needs of the chill
dren of Ireland. From Bishops of the
Irish Church we know that large Sec
tons of the adult population are suf-
fering terribly as the result of recent
reprisals on the part of the military.
TT was our immediate judgment
that relief should be at once extended
to the suffering adult as well as the
suffering child population of Ireland,
and, of course, adult relief is beyond
the scope of the work of Mr.. Hoover's
European Relief Council We were
considering an appeal to the American
Red Cross to inaugurate relief work in
Ireland, or to President de Valera to
undertake relief work with the monies
of the Irish Republic recently sub
scribed in this country. But the an
nouncement in the press that group
of representative and influential Irish
men in this country had formed an
American Irish relief committee and
subscribed a large sum of money for
immediate relief work in Ireland
seems to happily solve the problem.
The Knights of Columbus will give
hearty support to this movement just
as they are cordially supporting Mr..
Hoover in his great work. / believe
the organization of these prominent
Irishmen will, in addition to furnish
ing immediate relief, also prove help
full to the cause of the Irish Republic"

fective educational work among the
Cubans.
Another recent subscriber to the

AS is we'll known, the French State,
in compliance with the law Of neutral
ity, grants subsidies only to the official
and neutral schools.
But of late the Catholics have called
on various municipalities to vote the
necessary credits which might, at
least, defray the cost of school sup
plies given their needy pupils
Several important I towns already
have complied with these requests,
and now the City Council of Bordeaux
has voted $4,000 francs for the needy
pupils of the parochial schools in that
city. There were only two votes
recorded against the proposal.

K. OF c. SCHOOLS
INCREASED REGISTRATION AND
NEW COURSES MAKE ..
PROGRESS.

Knights of COLUMBUS free night
schools for former service men will
inaugurate the work of the year 1921
in New York and other cities with the
institution of several new courses.
Seventy-five thousand former soldiers
and sailors were on the rolls of the
100 K. of C. schools at the close of
the late term just before the Christ
mas holidays, and the schools will
open with an additional registration,
the holiday period having been used
for extension of accommodations.
In New York the Knights have set
aside one school solely for former
service men. In all their other
schools the Knights accept civilians
for all courses, although civilians must
pay nominal fees. All schools are
free to former service men.
"Our work during 1920 showed un-
precedented results for educational
work of the character undertaken by
the Knights of Columbus. More than
100000 veterans and civilians re-
ceived courses, and in every case
passed their examinations when they
had put in the necessary time to COM
plete the course,
"We have found a great need
among men in every walk in life is a
knowledge of business, commercial
and income tax law, and for 1921 the
Knights will make drive to have all
their students take up these courses.
when Marshal Foch visits the
United States this year he will make
a tour of the X. of G.. schools in the
larger cities, as he and other inf1uen-
tial public men in France contemplate
introducing similar work for the SOL
diers of that country"
