THE SCHOOL OF
SOCIAL STUDIES

i In the course on the defense of re-
ligion DR.. Moynihan dealt with the
long-standing objection to the ruling
of Divine Providence arising from the
presence Of suffering and sin in the
world. This difficulty is the most
ancient of all urged against the reli-
gious view of the world and remains
the perennial theme of theological con-
troversy. Suffering in the animal
kingdom, of which so much was made
by John Stuart Mill and men of his
school of thought, is, on the admission
of evolutionists themselves, commonly
exaggerated. In the case of human
pain, the power to look before and
after, the presence Of fear that grasps
the full terrors of a situation. and the
pangs of memory add an intensity to
suffering from which the denizens of
air and forest and water are COM
paratively free. Disasters resulting
from destructive agencies of nature,
such as volcanoes and earthquakes,
are due to the working Of the very
laws that render the world a cosmos
comforting the security and stability
necessary for life.
| Much of human suffering, the
lecturer continued. is to be ascribed
to causes over which man has con-
troll. A vast amount of misery springs
from the seven deadly sins Of human
nature. However, in a world ruled
by Divine Providence evil could have
no place Of it did not subserve some
beneficent purpose. Such virtues as
patience, fortitude and sympathy are
| fostered by suffering, and exercise a
humanizing influence softening, mel
lowing and enriching character.
In dealing with sin, the awful blot
on creation, the lecturer pointed out
that God bestows only good gifts and
that the highest of all, the power of
| self determination, making man
master of his own destiny, included
in its very nature ability to abuse and
pervert itself and all things else.
| Without freedom of the will man
would not be a moral being endowed
with sense of responsibility, but free
will enables him to violate the divine
order established in the world. BY
free will he sets aside the law of God
In conclusion, Din Moynihan point
ed out that the objection is founded
upon a false conception of God as an
indulgent father who is expected by
ceaseless miraculous interference
with the laws Of life and of nature tic
ward off from His creatures any and
leverything no matter how trivial that
could mar their comfort and happiness
The problem of evil is one of the
mysteries of the world that in any
system of thought can never be fully
solved, but religion alone can make its
existence ineligible and save the
soul of man from the pessimism thai
inevitably comes from the conviction
that life is only a dread machinery
of sin and sorrow. Life is a prelude
to an eternity where there is no sir
or. sorrow and the teaching of the
Cross is the true Interpretation OF life

The program of festivities drawn up
by the Brazilian authorities for the
celebration of the centennial Of ma
tional independence was not exclusive
ly devoted to political or civic func-
lions. One Of the most prominent
features was the Eucharistic Congress,
which opened with solemn Pontifical
Mass in the Metropolitan Cathedral,
and closed with stirring address by
Mgr. Becker, Archbishop of Porto
Allegro.
In referring to the Congress, Arch
bishop Becker said that it would
serve to bring about closer union be-
tween religion and national life, by
paying just tribute and honor to God
for the many benefits which He has
conferred on Brazil during the hun.
dred years ofsher independence. The
audience was deeply moved when he
said: 20 Lord, the Supreme Director

GERMANY ALARMED.

"A wave Of juvenile crime and de-
linquency is sweeping over Germany
and the authorities are astonfshed at
the extent to which the morals of the
young people have been corrupted.
Boys of. IA and Is years of age are
frequently brought into court to an
sWer charges based on such violations
of the morah code as are customarily
rare among persons much older.
Robbery and petty thievery are
rampant in the factories, government
establishments and railroads, and
there are innumerable reports of
youthful depredations in rural COM
munities. The use of intoxicating
liquors is increasing to an enormous
extent among the young and aids in
the work of destroying all sense of
religious duty or morality, In Aachen,
1t is common sight to seeFyoung boys
in the street shooting dice for hun
dreds of marks.
The situation has sgrown.sso ap-
palling that the Reichstag has
recognized the necessity of legislation
to curb its spread, and members of
all religious denominations are work
ing. together to aid the state in this
endeavor. Community homes have
been established for the purpose of
ldiyerting the minds and energies Of
the young boys and girls to harmless
pursuits. 1t is thought that the ex-
ample of waste given by the numerous
war profteers, coupled with the gen
sral atmosphere of mental and moral
relaxation that followed the war, is to
blame for the prevalence Of youthful
crime and delinquency.

as he, that hath sinned more, nor
he that is innocent like him that

AN OLD QUERY-WHAT Is
TRUTH?

Mixed in the ferment aof present
day thinking are recommendations
every now and then to revise the
ten commandments. Geo. Harvey,
American ambassador to England,
told the Authors club, whose
guest he was some time back, that
there was no recognition in the
decalogue of the possession of
souls or inherent rights by women,
and that the ten commandments
were written for men and apply
exclusively to men. He also as
serted that theory and practice,
as well as logic and reason drive
| us to the conclusion that either the
commandments should be revised
| to meet the requirements Of mod
ern conditions or a specific dec
dialogue should be constructed ex-
clusively for women.
Another proponent Of revision,
Rev. Edward III. Keenan,, Unfair
ian minister, said in recent SER
fmon at Des Moines, that the ten
commandments have been out
grown by the modern world, trans
Horned by the industrial revolu-
ftion.

"Dominus vobiscum," a Book Of.
Letters by the Rt. Rev. Francis O..
Kelley, d. D., Ii. d.; Matre & Co...
Chicago, 1922. Price $3.50. u
This is a tastefully bound book of
274 pages, of which not a one but is
brilliant or pathetic, instructive or.
subtly entertaining, grave with the
solemn gravity that BELTS the Eternal
Priesthood or gay with the linpid
gaiety that sparkles from a soul
knowing and feeling the joy-giving
power of high and. sacred ideal.
The young seminariafl on the eve Of
ordination, favored with such letters,
might well marvel at the depth and
the riches Of the grace of his voca-
ton. In them, he can anticipate with
the 7praeticed acumen of a veteran a
hundred and one obstacles to his
spiritual and temporal good and ef-
fective working as a priest. BY their
aid he can better understand the ways
he has already pursued and he can
safeguard those that stin lie ahead
of him with resources for mind and
heart that flow from an invigorating
ifountainhead of varied experiences.
Another quite remarkable thing
about this splendidly captivating and
READABLE book is that it would be a
godsend in any family circle, giving
them a fine Catholic insight into the
deeper meaning of the priestly life
upon which the home life of the faith
| full so largely centers. And further,
the clergy themselves will find it a
source of refreshment and inspiration
for its happy reminders of ways and
| means of wotthily fulfilling 1.-The
