BANK CLERKS CHARITY
On. C. w. c.

A Jealous Catholic who was known
to the world only through his charity,
recently passed away in Paris.
Paulin Enfert was true apostle
of the people, and the beginnings of
his apostolate were as original as they
were modest. He was clerk in
bank, and happened, one Sunday, to
be walking out on the Notifications of
Paris, when he noticed group OF idle
children. He suggested games to
them, and the following Sunday he
brought BALL Little by little the
large juvenile population of the quar-
ter was grouped into a club. M. En-
fert confined membership to the most
destitute and abandoned of the chill
dren of the outer faubourgs. In time,
the club acquired its own chapel. This
was an old road wagon which had
been occupied by some fair-people uR-
til it became useless to them.
The apostolate of M. Enfert contin-
ued for many years, and the original
club work was supplemented by an
other charitable undertaking which he
called the "Crumb of Bread" This
consisted in serving soup morning and
night to all the poor unfortunates who
asked for it, without distinction OF any
kind. M. Enfert served the poor him.
self
This sterling Christian, who sup
ported the work out of his own re-
sources, without causing it to become
known, finally had the generous
thought of permitting the young col
lege students of Paris to share in his
apostolate. He asked the Ecole Nor
male and the Ecole Polytechnique and
other large institutions to give him
scraps of bread left from meals. At
the same time he invited the older
students to help serve soup to the
poor. He soon gathered around him
the elite of the intellectual youth, over
whom he exerted deep influence
through his simplicity and the gram
deur of his charity 1t became hab-
it for students to go to lie pere En-
fert' as he was Familiarity called, and
serve soup to the poor. Among these
young men were several writers. such
as Charles Peggy, jacques Maritain
and Ernest Psichari, who left social
ism to embrace the Catholic faith, and
whose influence is powerful, even
since their death during the war.
Among the large number of young
Catholic men who helped him are
many of the present leaders in the
social movement.
On the spot where Paulin Enfert
first established the chapel of his club
in THE old roulette the Church oil
Sainte-Anne de la Maison Blanche has
been erected, and it was from this
church that his funeral was held.
M. Joseph Zamanski, one OF the di
rectors of the Catholic movement, de
scribing the funeral in the "Libre Pa
ro1e,' said:
''The man who awakened so many OF
| us to the work of apostolate, now rests

Whether one has ones finger
on the pulse of the times or not,
it is easy to see that what a
French publicist once said is still
largely taken to be in order
"What you want is a new deca.
logue. Gods old one goes toe
much against the grain with you
1t is contrary to your customs
your appetites, and your partic.
ular sense of the natural" The
modern spirit conceives truth and
justice as changeable from day to
day. And it seems to hold that
the more change there is, the more
progress.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1922-10-14

There is indeed a widespread
quest for the emancipation of the
spirit and of the flesh. We are
to get rid Of all that bothers and
burdens, to cut loose from truth,
authority, law, and our origin.
Some schools of thought reduce
more and more the part that God
has in human life. Little by little
they encourage the casting off of
all exact observance of divine law
and rules of conduct. The old
order of things, and especially the
antiquity that used to be held
venerable, no longer commands
their respect and mostly excites
only their scoffng and ridicule.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER II, 1922

Whatever the times may be, is
there not often considerable cry
ing where there is really no great
hurt? Likewise is there not much
ado, with bubbles of enthusiasm,
over ways and means of reform
to better things by will-o'- the
wisp routes? Catchwords and
slogans for all sorts Of improve
ments, individual and national,
are having their day as perhaps
never before.

A BOOK OF MERIT.

A doctor of philosophy as well
as of medicine, the Rev. F.. J.
Dore, S. j., delivers a salutary
message on a topic of very general
interest and Importance, in his
book, "Health and Happiness"
clos. r. Wagner, Inc, N. ".
Life has largely come to be not
so much "fitful fever" as one
long drawn out see-saw of titilla-
ton and exacerbation of the
senses, an excessive use Of vital
energies merely to keep the out
ward mechanisms of bodily pleas
ure in constant operation. Sanity
in sanitation, wholesome whole
ness of body and soul, make for
health and holiness, and in these
two. happiness becomes mans
most blessed possession. Many
are the quackeries these days
holding out gilt edged tempta-
tons to part with a little coin,
and get rid of all manner of big
troubles with equally big Greek
and Latin names. These same
quackeries, oftentimes masquerad-
ing as scientific benefits to the
individual as well as to society,
are rubbish compared with the
the contents of Father Dore s
book.
Perhaps not few readers may
benefit by an excerpt like the fol-
lowing from a chapter on the care
Of the nerves:
"By the common term, nerv-
BUSINESS, is usually meant that
state Of the nerves in which
trifies upset too easily that rest
full poise which most people pos
sess, or that condition in which
the ordinary amount Of self
control is lost. The individual
allows the imagination to have
too great sway over the actions,
so that he is ruled by feeling and
emotion. This is more frequently
the fault of the female sex; when
is occurs in the sterner sex, the
effects are more pronounced.
eff you are naturally nervous,
you should train yourself to over
come that habit while you are
young, or it will be a difficulty
all through life. It may be i'm
possible to get rid Of it completely,
but do what you can to work
against it on all occasions. If
you will not try a thing just be-
cause you feel afraid, you will
never accomplish much for your
self or for God in this world, nor
will you have a harvest Of good
deeds to bear to the next. Use
less worries and needless fears
are the only things which deter a
great many people from making a
success Of life. II they had only
made proper use Of their oppor-
tunities they might have become
great in the eyes Of their fellows
they might have done heroic
things for the spread of Christ s
kingdom on earth, and reached a
high plane of holiness for them
selves; instead they spend their
days in idle inaction and fruitless
desires. The real reason Of their
failure is that they have never
acquired the amount Of self.
control that would have enabled
them to act in spite Of their fears
,, Strength, courage, endurance may
come more easily to some than to
others; but unsupported depths OF
these virtues are at the disposal
of any boy or girl who may wish
to mould them into their char
acters by repeated acts until their
nerves have acquired them as hab
it's. Do what you know is right
no matter how you feel, or what
you fear, and your life will be q
constant ascent in happiness as
| well as in holiness. -

Of the last days. There is UNI
doubtedly, in the missionary
spirit, a safeguard against this
selfish trend. And ought not the
development and exercise OF
Catholic zeal to be greatly slim
ulated by our immediate human
environment? Have we not daily
opportunities, if not Of actually
"giving Faith" to other souls, at
least Of showing what Faith can
do in our own?
A learned German Protestant,
Prof. DR.. Forester, has been
quoted in the following remark
able words: "In the Church to-
day there is a numerous line OF
Catholics who, with great self
satisfaction think within them
selves, why should we be con-
cerned about the rewinning' OF
those who have forsaken us? We
are in the possession Of the truth.
If the others care to have it, let
them come back to us I.
OF such as think in this wise,
Knight not after all the question
be asked: Did you ever take
into consideration that the great
breach (of the Reformation) not
only robbed of the newer culture
those who broke from the unity,
but also caused to the strength Of
that unity a loss Of vivifying
cultural power?' -
The Indifference towards those
elements that have been estranged
from the Church assuredly stands
in contradiction with the spirit OF
the good Shepherd. Or how is il
to be reconciled with the very old,
est tradition Of Christendom, that
the Church, in relation to the mod.
ern world, no longer develops any
really effective propagation Of the
faith? Not a few selfsatisfied
defenders Of this tradition seem
more and more to take the same
stand that was occupied Of old by
the Jewish authorities. These
likewise wholly gave up the work
of winning proselytes. Yet there
is the command: Going forth
teach we all nations. Why g
only to the black and yellow pa
gans, and not to the civilized
ones?"
