BISHOP TELLS STORY OF FIGHT
FOR FAITH IN LITTLE WALES.

A thrilling story of the history of
the Catholic Church in Wales was
told by the Bishop of Clifton in st.
David's Cathedral in Cardiff where he
preached before the newly enthroned
Archbishop of Cardiff.
Never" said the Bishop, ''was the
plant of the Spouse of Christ so laden
with utter sadness as when the old
religion, which had been that of the
Welsh people since the days of the
Roman occupation, was banished from
the pleasant hills and valleys of Cam
brit. You, of all men, need not to be
reminded of the early glOries of the
Welsh Church, which, like that of the
rest of Britain, had her affairs, her
scriptures, her discipline, held the
Catholic Faith and was Joined in the
bond of communion with Rome. If
later that bond seemed for while to
be strained almost to spanning, put
it down to the isolation of the Welsh
Church, and to her very natural ha-
tired of the Saxon marauder.
"The roll of her early Saints, Bish-
ops and monks, can in part be gather
ed from the many towns and spots to
which their names to this day cling.
Their shrines were flocked to by pill
grims in every country. Her language
was that of the whole Western Church,
and even after this long lapse of time
the religious language of Wales today
is stepped in Latin. The famous laws
of Wales, drawn UP in the tenth CEN
fury, show not only the union of the
people with Rome. but how intimately
their life was penetrated by their re-
ngion, the spirit of which they breath
ed like their mountain air.
''The northern blasts blew over
Wales with vengeance when English
officialdom set itself to rivetsa Ger
man-made religion on the land, and
| the Royal Supremacy was proclaimed
there. Elizabethan doctrine and wor-
ship were far from being welcomed.
| The new religion was called the re-
ligion Of the Saxons. The turncoat
Pembroke, Baron Herbert of Cardiff,
was warned not to send his preachers
across the Marches. or they would not
return alive. Professionalism ran coun-
ter to all the national traditions, and
cut out of the national life its dearest
associations.
1.-THE bards poured upon it their
satire, and wept for the havoc it made
in the holy places, and in thousands of
homes. OF the old clergy some con-
formed, some wandered about in dis
sguise, saying Mass stealthily in Cath

Continent, among them Maurice Glen.

RELIGIOUS HYsTERiA.

Catholicism is a product of Divini-
ty; Professionalism of humanity
Catholicism is divine; Protestant
ism is defectible.
Catholicism has dignity; Protestant
ism is religious hysteria.
When the members of a Protestant
audience are told the parable of the
good Samaritan, and how Christ is the
Great Samaritan, anxious to heal all
wounds, they produce their handker-
chiefs and fall to weeping. They are
filed with emotion. They become hys-
terical. While the emotion lasts, they
have change of heart" the Prot
estant substitute for Catholic confess
sion. But when the fires of their emo
ton die out, their interest in change
of heart" suffers accordingly, often
going to the MISUNDERSTANDING di-
vorce and vociferously expounding the
doctrine of birth control.
Religious hysteria can produce tears
and halleluiahs but it cannot purchase
a ticket to heaven.
Religious hysteria burns out quickly.
1t is an intoxication of the spirit that
is transient and leaves no lasting
thrill for the day after.
When PLATE lived, the great Mes
siah had the attention of the religious
world. He was the pre-eminent Per-
sonage in the universe. He ruled and
taught and healed. All God-fearing
men adored Him. He was worthy of
all alteration. He had come to un.
dertake a stupendous task and He
performed it exceedingly we'll
The question yet to be decided, it
seems, is whether love and obedience
to Him is to be inspired by Faith or
whether it is to be the product of a
spasmodic, religious hysteria.
Catholicism is founded on Faith and
functions three hundred and sixty-five
days year. Anything short of that.
that is to say, religion that func-
tions only now and then, is a sham.
Religion is not worth much if it casts
a blanket over the face of the land on
a Sunday and keeps the divorce mills
grinding on the other six days of the
week. Religion is not worth the name
if it applies a blotter to drink while
it yells itself hoarse in advocating
birth control.
There is no need for fresh and star
Ting religious beliefs and practices
Christ has long ago finished the big
work He long ago left the world an
heritage which is able to endure all
days and which is so sublime and per
feet that it never grows old nor stale
but is ever fresh and wholesome.
Those who challenge Him, and His
work, the Church, cause no rocking
in the heavens All is safe and eter
nal there. Challenges have beer
hurled at Him many times but His
cause remains triumphant page in
the worlds history.
The enthusiasm engendered by re
ligious hysteria never continues fol
long. Also, hysteria leaves one eX
hauSted.
A hemorrhage is always a danger
GUS thing. 1t is thing dreaded by
patient and DOCTOR We liken- relig
ious hysteria to hemorrhage. 1t is
| to be feared because it saps ones
spiritual vitality.
1t is this which SO grievously af
fects the religious soul of the worlt
today, too much-far too much-re
ligious hysteria.
Obviously, the, remedy is: relig
ious enthusiasm, love of God, in
spired by Faith.

that great benefit would be derived

Leaders in both houses Of Congress
point significantly to the hearty AMI
prolonged applause which greeted his
announcement at the opening of Con-
gress last week that "the United
States means to establish and main
tain a great merchant marine"
EARLY ACTION ON SHIPPING.
Early action is predicted on the nu-
merous bills affecting shipping which
accompanied the opening of the new
Congress.
Among the bills which have already
been introduced and which are di-
rected toward the development and
maintenance OF a merchant marine
CONNIE nsurate to the size and CONNER
cial importance of the United States
are those relating to marine insur-
ance, establishment Of free zones in
the United States, releasing Panama
Canal tolls on American vessels, limit
ing immi grafton and many others.
A bill to regulate marine insurance
in the District of Columbia has been
introduced by Congressman Edmunds
Of Pennsylvania. 1t provides for the
incorporation of insurance companies
in the District of Columbia which may
write multiple forms of insurance.
which will be taxed by the Federal
Government on net underwriting
profits instead of gross premiums. and
which will receive various benefits
permitting them to compete on more
equal terms with foreign concerns.
This bill has the Endorsement, ii is
stated, of the private underwriters,
the United States Shipping Board, and
the Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries.
1t differs in some respects to the
marine insurance bill which failed at
the last session. but IT is almost sure
to pass both houses at this session,
according to opinions expressed by
members of the House Committee on
the. District of Columbia, which will
soon hold hearings on the measure
before reporting on 1t favorably. The
same bill was Introduced in the Senate
by Senator Jones. and II is expected
that the Senate Committee on Com
merce. to which IL has been referred,
will not waste any time in indorsing

TEN KINDS OF INSURANCE.
The forms of insurance which may
be written are described under ten
headings. which include practically all
forms of risk except life insurance
and fidelity and surety bonding. Com
panies must have a capital of 500, 900
and a surplus of $4,000. with an
additional 10000 OF capital and $685.
600 OF surplus for each additional
form of risk underwritten. Wide pow
ers of REINSURANCE are granted. The
principal changes in the new bill
occur in the clauses relating to taxa
tion. which authorize taxes only on
underwriting profits on premiums
written in the District OF Columbia.

pages and goes into the marine insur-
