WHITTIER INFORMS SENATORS


Washington, Juno 3. - National
agreements in effect during Govern
ment control, which required "the rail-
roads to allow employees one hour extra
pay each week for punching the clock
regardless Of the number OF hours ac-
hally worked" cost the railroads
SO, AS 1858 during the first six months Of
last year, Il. T. Whittier, Of Philadel-
phia, chairman Of the Conference Com
inittee OF Managers, told a Senate In
vestigatiug Committee today.
An order issued by the Director Cen
eral In July, 1913, guaranteeing to
men employed on piecework 'the same
minimum hourly rate as those Of hourly
workers, resulted in a decrease ranging
from 10 to 40 per cent in the output Of
piecework men," Mr.. Whittier said, add
ing:
'aThis falling of in production be-
came uniformly noticeable when IL was
known by the pieceworkers that they
guaranteed only the minimum hourly
rate

very sympathetic book about Old

fact, the sign of glimmer of liberal
thought in the Church during the
Middle Ages. During the 14th and
18th centuries, not only we're monas.

freely, but many more books were
chained in places of Worship than in
the 18th century, when the proclama-
ton for the setting up of Bibles in
church was granted unwillingly." 1t
is one of the glories of the Church
that it made the Bible accessible to
the laity and the clergy by claiming
copies in libraries and churches. The
chained Bibles were those copies
which had been used most exten.
sively, for every Bible chained in the
Middle Ages stands for a group oil
Bible students who made their studies
therefrom.

THE WAY OF THE SAINTS.

To make democracy safe for the
world, the spirit of the Gospel must
reign in the hearts of men. 1--WE may
say with truth" says the author of
Golden Rules, that the saints, one
and all, were distinguished for their
exquisite refinement, charity, and
mildness, no matter whether they
earned heaven in kitchen, like St.
Zita, or graced the throne, like st.
Margaret of Scotland; whether they
sprang from the most degraded class,
like st. Margaret, the penitent, of
Cortona, or stained the baptismal
robes with martyrs blood, like the
gentle child, st. Agnes; whether bred
at the plough, like st. Vincent, or in
a feudal castle, like the sweet saint
of Geneva, st. Francis of Sales;
whether they passed their lives in a
desert, like the first hermit, Or ex-
changed the sword of a cavalier, for
the sword of the spirit, like the brave
soldier of Loyola; whether they
begged their bread, like st. Labre, or
yielded a sceptre, like the last of the
crusade kings-whether in fine, they
offered fair children to martyrdom,
like st. Felicitas, or served God in the
cloister, like st, Teresa"

QUIET IN THE MIDST OF RUsTLE.

Passing Kensington way, London,
quite recently had to get off one bus
and wait for another, says writer in
the Irish Catholic. During the inter
val went into Kensington Square,
which is just a few yards from the
busy main High Street, full of hurry,
scurry, hustle and animation. / en-
tered the Church of the Assumption,
kept by the Nuns of the Assumption.
The Blessed Sacrament was exposed,
and before the Most Holy One in
alteration, was nun in habit of violet
and white. On either side of the
choir, in quiet monastic stalls, were
twelve nuns, six on either side, chant
ing vespcrs. The scene was impress
,s1Ve and put one in reflective mood.
In the public portion of. the church
there was only one other person.
There was Our Divine Lord, in the
Sacrament of Love exposed and wor-
shipped by his faithful /spouses, the
Nuns OF the Assumption. A few yards
off in the main thoroughfare, the great
crowds passed on needless of His pres
ence. Behold this Heart which has
loved men SO tenderly and yet receives
nothing from them but ingratitude. .

is DANCING WRONG?

No one will assert that all dancing
is wrong, says the Augustinian. 1t
may be and often is, under proper
auspices and safeguards, a very de-
lightful exercise and amusement,
bringing the young people together,
for the purpose of personal acquaint-
ance. Every respectable girl will be
very careful about her escort, espe-
cially on the way. home. Every
respectable young man who claims the
name Of a gentleman will show
genuine respect to the lady. She
ought to be safe i'm his presence. But
danger turks in the lateness of the
hour. There is not the slightest doubt
that some kinds of dancing are dan.
:gerous and sinful. 1t is. absolutely
true that Of late years new dances
have crept in which are in themselves
indecent. The indecency of the dance
is often heightened by the indecency
of the dress.
The Catholic young man and the
!, Catholic young woman have their
Well;settied views about dancing. II
is as plain as daylight that a dancing
party to remain within the lines Of
decent. wholesome amusement mus
refrain from all indecent dances. The
Catholic conscience will easily define
what il indecent and dangerous. u
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1921-01-01

matters little what name is given to
the dance.
But more important that the kind
of dance is the personnel of the party.
A Catholic young man and a Catholic
young woman will never attend
promiscuous party. They have suffi-
cient self-respect to select their com
pany. 1t seems, therefore. evident
that public dance, to which all per-
sons and couples are admitted simply
on admission fee, are not the dances
for people who are particular about
their choice of dance hall and COM
pany. Even if such dance is dignf-
fled by the name of Municipal Dance,
it is obvious that, how great soever
their good will, the matrons cannot
adequately keep'in hand SO large and
promiscuous crowd.
And what may happen as the
couples go home, released from every
cone'ol and surveillance? The same
caution applies to public roller skat-
ing and public bathing. Worst of all
is the Saturday night dance. 1t is a
pitiful preparation for the Lords day.
1t is likely to keep the parties from
attending Holy Mass and observing
Sunday. The Saturday night dance is
the devils device to spoil or dishonor
the Lords day. The Catholic of good
faith and standing does not allow any
kind of decent amusement and recrea-
tion-no party, entertainment, excur-
sion-to interfere with his attendance
at Holy Mass, the most sublime and
perfect expression of divine worship.
The Catholic young man and young
woman know that, as st. Francis de
Sales says, dances. are like mushrooms.
Some few are edible, others, and many
more are poisonous. Amusements
must be tempered by self-restraint.
The source of happiness is not self
/ indulgence, but deep sense of re-
sponsibility.

WHEN GOING TO CONFESSION.

1t is not safe to be original in the
matter Of salvation, so we follow the
teachings of the Church.
You are Obliged to confess only your
mortal sins. You are not obliged to
confess a sin about which you are un-
certain, but it is not well to omit it.
The only way to know that you have
not had contrition is to be convinced
that you intended to commit the same
sins at the first opportunity.
A quarter OF an hour should be long
enough for preparation for weekly con,
fession. From three to five of these
fifteen minutes is ample time for
examination. You cannot have a NOR
tai sin on your soul without knowing
tit is like big fish which must
come to the surface to breathe.
Why should ten minutes be too much
for contrition and resolution? Have
you not motive enough? You began
the week in the fulness of Gods
grace, and now what have you done ?
Perhaps you have been on the
boundary line, of mortal sin and have
been saved by Gods grace. And what
else has He done for you this week?
How does God consider sin? Look
on Calvary for the answer.
Be as plain and blunt in telling your
sins as you We're in committing them.
Listen to the priests advice and don't
worry trying to recall other sins while
he is talking to. you. The priest is
taking Christ's place. Be as attentive
to what he says as if Christ were
speaking.
In making your act of scOntritfon,
think of your sins as of handful of
slime which you have cast into the
beautiful face of God. You need not
feel contrition. 1t is alb act of the
will, and regards the past and the
futurerejects the past, resolves for
the future.
Trouble does not come from God.
His acts all tend to encourage u.s. The
devil tries to discourage us. Those
troubled with scruples must obey or
they will open the blue beard cham
Der" of their own punishment. Their
disobedience is often punished in this
world.
Give the confessor credit for having
common sense; believe that he has
some judgment He is as much
obliged to see that you make good
confession as you are to make it and
even if he should make mistake in
directing you, he alone is responsible.
You are safe in obeying.
Zach confession should be Q wave

TWELVE APOSTLES OF ERIN,
WERE FRESHMEN NOTED FOR
HOLINESS.

A title which has a quaint and in.
viting touch in the history of Ireland
is that of "The Twelve Apostles of
Erin says an exchange. From far
back in early Christian days in the
Emerald Isle comes the story which
gave rise to this title, so suggestive
of the life and ways of the time, and
so challenging to investigation.
The Twelve Apostles of Erin
were a dozen Irishmen who were
noted for holiness in the sixth century.
They were men who went to pursue
their studies at the School of Clonard
in Meath. The story of their coming
to study under ST. Finian at Clonard,
on the banks of the Boyne and Kline
CAD Rivers, is almost like romance
of the faith in the old land
At thek present day there appears
to be some doubt as to the reason why
these particular men were termed the
Twelve Apostles" but the fact is that
they are so designated in old annals.
1t was about the year $40 that ST..
Finian founded his noted school at
Cluain-Eraird. This name means
"Erairds Meadow" The place is now
Clonard. 1t is recorded that saints
and men of learning found their way
there in the old days
They came from various parts of
Ireland, and some idea of the size of
the place may be gained from the fact
that it has been said that the average
number of scholars who were in
structed at Clonard was some three
thousand. This may be compared in
structively with the numbers of stu
dents who at the present time attend
some of the leading universities and
institutions of learning in this coun-
try and abroad.
The famous Twelve Apostles" are
said to have been:
st. Ciaran of Saighir (Seir-Kieran)
!, st. Ciaran of Clonmacnois.
st. Brendan OF Birr.

CHAINED BIBLES BEFORE AND
AFTER REFORMATION.

The medieval custom of claiming
Bibles has often been made to serve
the purpose of bigotry, says Father
Lenhart in Catholic World. Modern
authors, ignorant of ancient usages,
have pointed to what once served to
spread Bible knowledge as an odious
attempt to restrict the free circula.
ton of the Scriptures. This error
has passed SO long for established
fact, and has spread so widely that
many may be surprised to learn, that
Bibles were chained both by Cath
| Olics and Protestants for over two
centuries after the Reformation, and
Protestant English Bibles may still
be seen chained in some churches
and Libraries of England.
\ Previous to the erection. of special
structures for housing books, j. {, e.,
during the 18th and 18th centuries,
smaller collections of Il books were
chained to desks according to the
lecten-system in various parts of
the monastic and collegiate buildings.
In addition to these collections, which
varied in extent, single volumes, as
well as smaller collections, have al
ways been chained in churches, ever
since the Benedictines at Weissenburg
introduces this novelty about 1910

SOME IMPOSSIBLE PEoPLE-A

You are woman. You long to be

happiness, in the full measure of the

you travel along on the road of life
you pray that the Lord may guide you
