THE MAN WHO LIES.

There are many forms of hui
man depravity, various NANTES
tations of the weakness that still
inheres i'll the soul of man. The
original propensity to evil crops
out in a vast variety of ill-smell-

destructive of the beauty that
God intends to dwell in the hui
man spirit.
One of the most despicable-
because easily preventable- NAL
aides Of Mans weakness is that
which Leads him to the basest
form Of cowardice; the tendency
to prevaricate. Cowardice in any
form is hateful: when displayed in
thoughts transmitted into words
it reaches the depth Of iniquity.
For Man possesses reason and in
tellect in order to see and judge
Alright. True, at times the clear
ness of vision is dimmed and he
falls into error; to lie is deliber-
ately and with wide-open eyes to
run into the pit. Such a course
indicates fear of ones fellows
without any relation to God. 1t is
Adam all over again hiding be-
hind the fault Of Eve. 1t is the
weakling crying out in impotence
after his fall; it is the mongrel
Isnapping at the heels of the pass

PROFESSORS MAY STARvE
HARD TIMES THREATEN TO
CLOSE VIENNA UNIVERSITY.

The Vienna university probably will
be forced to close its doors in the i'm
mediate future because of lack OF
funds. At the present value Of the
Austrian crown, family of three can
not live in Vienna for less than $4,000
crowns a month, or 100000 crowns a
year.
Thirty crowns is the fare on street
car; O shirt costs 5000 crowns, and
suit of clothes 100000 crowns. AS the
average income of a native student
who lives at home is, it was stated,
much under 100000 crowns, he must
either go naked or spend his entire in

1t was declared that even the most
highly paid professors in Vienna were
doomed to actual starvation.

PAUL OF TARSUS.

In all history there is perhaps
no more resplendent example of
human nobility than that afford
ed by the Apostle St. Paul. The.
Church commentaries him on
January %. Born in Judaism,
nurtured with all the culture of
Greek and Rome, endowed with
a fiery energy in every cause to
which he devoted himself, Paul
stands forth as the champion Of
Christianity. Others preached
and taught Christianity; so did
he. Others suffered for it; so did
he. Others loved religion with the
fervent glow of enthusiasm; he
did even more, he fought for it.
In all his actions, in his travels,
his travails and his constant
watchfulness there is something
of the warrior about Paul. He
could be wrapt to the superior
heavens and could commune in
ecstatic sweetness with the Sc
crets of God. He could burn with
desire after Christ, wish to be
anathema for his brethren, and
abase himself to the depths of
self-abnegation. But always and
everywhere was Paul the valiant
leader, the challenging corypheus
of God.
The peculiar characteristic that
ever marked this wonderful Apos-
tie was an indomitable intrepid
ity, fearlessness that courted
danger and gloried in opposi-
ton. The other Apostles were
messengers of the Word in sweet
ness and power; Paul was pre-
eminently a battler in the cause.
He feared not to rebukc even the
great Chief, Peter, the head of
the Church, when this fervent
disciple of Christ appeared to
yield to human weakness in the
brethren. Withal, Paul was ever
humble and self-effacing. If he
gloried in his labors and achieve
ments it was to taste but more
bitterly the wormwood of suffer-
ing. In fact, it was chiefly in
his infrmities that he placed the
most confidence. The angel that
buffeted him was a cleansing fire
to his soul, a constant reminder of
his mortal weakness; in this re-
membrapce did he glory more
than in his victories.
| st. Paul is the outstanding pa
iron and model of the devoted
lprelate. He is the excmplar of the
true priest. At the same time he
Iaffords the highest type for imi,

ied by PAUL. when she sEingliislledI
it was through lack OF zeal and
energy in her members.
Today is there distinct need for
the spirit of Paul, a need that is
apparent in high places as well
as in low. Everywhere the
Church of God is open to attack !;
everywhere are her enemies COM
passing her with her final des-
truction in view. Priest and lay
man is called upon to rally to the
defence of religion and OF the
faith that lives only through the
cultivation of good works. Mere
passivitv in the multitude or In
the leaders will but lead to a state
of apathy, of indifference, where
in the idea Of God is obscured
and the laws of God are permitted
to threaten in vain. Such con-
dition from time to time is observ-
ed in the progress of the Church.
Whenever it appears there is evil
dent falling away from the
truth, lowering of morals, "a
weakening of that spirit which
caused the great-hearted Paul to
cry out that he desired to be anath-
ema for the brethren, that he
reckoned all things to be but Of
fal when compared to the love OF
Christ.
In spite Of our frequent boasts,
there is a portentous danger to
religion even in this country. Dl-
vorce, laxity of morals in general,
immodesty, the efforts Of climb
ers' in every rank of the Church,
all combine to offset the strlrd-
mess and ruggedness of faith that
hitherto has served to burnish and
to brighten the splendor OF re-
ligion. The allurements of wealth,
the craving after preferment, the
insatiate itching for personal adj
vancement, even at the expense
Of truth and faith, these and
many other signs of the times
point Enthusiastically to a weaken.
ing of the moral fiber that here.
tofore has marked the Christians
Of this land. Let us not deceive
ourselves. When tempted to
boast of our position let us think
of these things: the small number
of converts; the evident leakage
apparent to all but the blind; the
sham in high places; the gradual
drifting Of the workingmen into
socialistic camps: the personal
seeking on the part of many who
would lead; the adoption by Cath.
Giles of those evils that should not
even be mentioned; the practice
Of the small family on the part OF
too many of our Catholic people
the ease with which so many Of
the faithful are coWed by opposi
ton; in a word. the tendency tt
| fall into line with the world i'll al
things possible. r.. "
No Catholic who understands
conditions here today can truth
fully deny these things. The
spirit of Paul, the lion of tht
tribe of Juda, will do more thar
anything else to offset all thes'
evils, for he was filed to over
flowing with the spirit of God, 4;
spirit that brooked no compromise
when the cause of God was a
stake. This and this alone viii
serve to keep the Church ferven
and glowing while militant ano

'Take your newspapers" says
Archbishop Curley. "Look at
the front pages. There you will
find a great lesson. We are liv-
ing in an age in which people are
judged by wealth and position, in
an age when sin in high places
is not often condemned and when
the wealthy are suffered to enjoy
privileges and prerogatives which
are denied the poor. If man
has wealth, or place in society,
he is given access. for he is con

doctrine of the present day. But
