THE OLD AND NEW RELIGIONS.

Protestants are all agreed that prim-
tive Christianity was right. Ii Christ
was right, and the Apostles were
right, then those instructed by the
Apostles or by their immediate suc-
cessors were surely right. But if prim-
tive Christianity was right, then mod
ern Professionalism is just as wrong,
says the Sunday Visitor.
The early Christians did not believe
that one religion was as good as an
other; they did not believe in the eX
change of pulpits on the part of those
who were true followers of the Apos-
ties and those who rejected some of
the teachings Of the Apostles; they
did not believe that every person,
with Bible in hand, was led by the
Holy Spirit to attain a knowledge of
the full revelation of Jesus. The
primitive Christians believed in One,
Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
They recognized an authoritative
voice, and therefore had no misgiv-
ings concerning what was the teach
ing of Christ, Who promised to re-
main with His Church and declared
He that hears you, hears me-" they
not only frequently recited the Creed
in which they openly protested what
they believed, but millions of them
died in testimony of such belief. 9th
er millions risked their lives in prac-
s1;, yr-hp no
underground churches still extant in
Rome offer irrefutable proof that the
early Christians believed in the Holy
| Trinity, the Incarnation, the Redemp-
ton. Heaven, He'll, Purgatory, Pray
ers for the Dead, Baptism, the Sacra-
ment of Penance, the Real Presence
of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, the
| Mass, ETC., etc.
| There are several religions thou
sand years older than any form Of
Professionalism, and they also believe
in every one of the doctrines just EMU
merated. They trace their origin back
TO the time of their separation from
the Roman Church, beginning with
the 4th century-back to the days
which are often called the Golden
Age of Christianity. If, then, what
Catholics believe today was held es-
lsential then, it must have been stress
ed as essential by the Apostles them
! selves. The Greeks, the Syrians, the
/ HISTORIANS, the Armenians, are most
numerous in every territory evan.
gelized by Christ and the Apostles,
. and their cities have been bishoprics
from the first century. Is it not rea-
sonable to suppose that they could
have drifted farther from primitive
Christianity than Professionalism, which
has no ineaI connection with the
early Church, which has had only 400
years of life, which is split UP into SOC
| different parts, and which today
throws all doctrinal teachings over
board?
If the churches which go back TIC
the 4th century must be more neal
right than Professionalism, what must
be said of the Roman Church, whose
succession of bishops ST. Augustine
(who himself lived in the early 5tI
century,, traces back to ST. Peter, one
Of the Twelve?

NATIONS At VATICAN
TWENTY-SEVENs GOVERNMENTS
HAVE REPRESENTATIVES AT
THE VATicAN--JAPAN EXPECT
ED TO JOIN LIST.

All the principal European powers
(including Russia), and the largest OF
the South American states now have
ambassadors or ministers at the Vat
lean. In all, twenty-seven nations of
the world are this year sustaining Of
fetal diplomatic relations with the
Holy See
The list of countries with embassies
or legations at the Vatican at the close
of 1921 is given in the Pontifical An
nual (Annuario Pontificio) just issued
for the current year. Those MAIN
tanning embassies to the Holy See
are: France, Germany, Spain and Bel
GUM lin Europe, and Brazil, Chill
and Peru Gin America). Those rep
resented by ministers are: England,
Argentina, Austria, Bavaria, Bolivia,
Colombia, Costa Rica, Haiti, Holland,
Hungary, Monaco, Nicaragua, Poland,
Portugal, Rumania, Russia, Czecho-
Slovakia, Venezuela, Jugo-Slavia and
Luxembourg.
Semi-official relations have been es-
tablished between the Vatican and
China, Japan, Turkey and Lithuania.
The Latin-American countries not
represented at the Holy See are San
Salvador, Honduras, Santo Domingo,
Ecuador and Uruguay. The ministers
of some Of these countries have been
temporarily withdrawn from the Vat
lean, while others have never been
represented there
The exchange of diplomatic repre-
.sentatives between Japan and the
Holy See is expected as one of the
important events in 1922.

BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE.

One thing girls may be sure of,
that the young men who make the
best sons and brothers will make the
best husbands. Young men may be
equally sure that girls who are the
best daughters and sisters will be
the best wives. If a young man, be-
fore he is married, is destitute of
those affections and principles which
come out in filial obedience, courtesy,
and a controlling sense of duty, he
will be equally destitute of them aft
er he is married. The mere fact of
wedloek will not change the funda-
mental principles of his nature. He
will be essentially the same human
being after marriage-or at least,
after the honeymoon-that he was
before it. The same principles hold
true with regard to women. She who
is selfish and vain and idle and de
ceitful as a girl, will be pretty apt
to be the curse of the man who mar
ries her.

THE BLESSED REGGAR.

duke XVIII, 31-43.)
Outside the gates Of Jericho
when time was young-long years
A certain blind man begged one day.
When 10! the Master passed that
way.
An eager crowd had gathered there,
Commotion filed the summer air:
The surging multitude marched by
And heard the blind mans humble
cry:
20 Son of David, hear Thou me;
Make Thou my sightless eyes to Sect
And one of little faith, hard by,
Hearing the lowly beggar's cry,
Rebuked him, saying: Hold thy
peace
And let thy silly wailing cease.
Think'st thou that He will list to
thee?"
20 Son of David, hear Thou me-"
Was all the suppliant beggar said
AS meekly now he bowed his head.
Then 10! the Master, coming nigh
Spake gently: Whence this mourn
full cry?
What wilt thou that / do for thee?"
"Oh, make my sightless eyes to see.''
The Master paused a moment there
In answer to the beggar's prayer,
Then spake again: Receive thy
sight
And out of darkness came the light.
And he who had been blind for years
Arose and walked, amid the cheers
And tumult of the watching crowd
That sang its Hallelujahs loud.
o Blessed Beggar! thou whose eyes
First op'ning, glimpsed their Paradise,
Twas written on His Sacred Face,
And thy dark years could not efface
The glory that was shining there.
In Jericho, after thy prayer.
To us, 0 Lord, who blindly gropa
Through weary years with Pickering
hope,
The mercy we beseech Thee, show.
As once Thou did'st, at Jericho.

NATIONALITY OF POPtS
MANY MARTYRS NUMBERED
AMONG THE PoNTlFFs-TWo
HUNDRED AND SIXTY PoPEs IN
LIST.


Of the first thirty Popes, all were
martyrs, except st. Dionysius, who
was the tWenty-tifth The total num-
Der of martyred Popes is thirty-three;
we venerate eighty-two Popes as
saints.
One hundred and four Popes have
been Romans; 1913 were natives of
other parts of Italy; Is were French
men; 8 were Greeks; Z were Germans;
5 were Asiatics; 8 were Africans; 8
were Spaniards; 2 were Dalmatians,
while Palestine, Thrace, Holland, Por-
tugal and England have each furnish
ed one occupant of the papal chair.
Nine Pontiffs reigned less than one
month, 80 less than one year, IL more
than 20 years, 6 have reigned over 90
years; the longest reign except that
of st. Peter, who was in Antioch Z
years and in Rome 25 years, 2 months
and days, was the reign of Plus TX,
who was Pope 81 years, months and
21 days. The next longest was his
successors, Leo XIII, who was Pope
Is years and months
The combined successive reigns of
these two Popes are the longest in
history; covering period of 81 years
and months.
Including the late Pontiff, Benedict
XIV, there have been only Popes
since the foundation of the American
republic, the longest series of reigns
since the foundation of the Church.

that marked the features Of the late
Pope, Plus X. And, although his jet
black hair does not contain sus.
picion of grey, yet the face of Bene-
dict XIV is that of an old man. In it
are lines that give evidence of the
strong soul beneath. I fancy Ma
poleon must have had much such a
countenance.
His Holiness, whose name is Giaco-
mo della Chiesa. is one of the young
est. pontiffs that. has ever occupied
the throne of st. Peter. Unlike the
late Pope, Plus X, who belonged to
the peasant class, Benedict XIV is a
member of an ancient patrician FAM
lily of italy. In May, 1914, he was
raised from an Archbishop to the Car.
dinalate of Bologna, and four months
later-a month after the outbreak of
the war and shortly after the death of
Plus X-he was elected supreme Pom
tiff. assuming the title of Benedict
XIV.
As His Holiness passed informally
down the line, speaking to each one
in turn, he caught sight of my olive
drab uniform. Evidently the unusual
color-American uniforms were not
too numerous in Rome at the time
misled His Holiness, for when he
reached me he said, in French, "You
are a Belgian?' mo, your Holiness"
I replied, american" ''All, yes,s he
said, and. noting the Red Cross on
my collar, "Of the American Red
| Cross"
! For all Italians-and the Pope, who
is devoted to his native land-know
and appreciate the work of the Amer
lean Red Cross in Italy and just how
much it has meant to the nation For
| just when it was the Kingdoms dark
est hour and the enemy hordes were
sweeping down across the plains
along the Piave, then it was that the
Red Cross was able, two days after
the United States declared war on
| Austria, to give tangible evidence
that the mighty republic would back
Italy in the struggle for her ideals by
sending ambulance conveys to the
l7l1Olit -dIiu Sotdu1iotiiiS d special 'COIu
mission to look after Italy's needs
And today scarce a town but has felt
of the support that the Red Cross has
| given from Milan to far off Sicily
! and the Italians know and are crate
| full to the Red Cross as we'll as to the
/ United States for her magnificent
| regiments of fighting men.
After all had kissed the great en-
erald ring Of Saint Peter that the
! Pope wore on his right hand, His
Holiness made a short address in
Italian and raised his hand to bestow
the Papal benediction.
AS he stood in the midst of the
vari-colored group, clad all in the
purest white, with his hands out
stretched in benediction, he reminded
me strangely of the figure of the dove
I-symbolical Of the Holy Spirit--shed
ding light and benediction upon the
world, and this was the impression
that carried away with NE and that
/ remains craven upon my memory

The following account of Pope Ben
edicts daily routine appeared some
time ago:
He rises at five o'clock He is at
his desk at eight. He dimes at nine
o'clock in the evening and works for
an hour after dinner. Who? Bene-
dict XIV.
From the pictures that come to this
country, one would hardly believe that
the Pope could withstand such
strain. He appears to be very frail
man. But, writes the correspondent
for the Australian Freeman's Journal,
the fact is that the Holy Father
scarcely ever felt sick in his life. In
deed, I have been assured, physicians
and medicines are unknown to him.
A man cannot rise at 1870 each morn
ing and go through a long days men
tai work-as young Monsignor Della
Chiesa used to do when living with
his mother years ago near the Pan
theon at Rome-unless he is of pretty
robust constitution But let us see
how the Pope puts in his day The
Holy Father rises at a. m, an hour
before three-fourths of Rome leave
dreamland.. At o'clock prayer and
meditation over, the Vicar of Christ
stands vested to offer up the Holy
Sacrifice, attended by a couple of
prelates attached to the Vatican. His
Mass is served by lay brother of the
Order of st. Augustine.
The Worlds Newspapers.
At Z O'Clock, when a Mass has been
heard by way of thanksgiving and the
Small Hours" of his breviary are
said, the light Italian breakfast of
coffee and rolls is served. Then comes
the perusal of the newspapers of El-
rope, Australasia, and the two Amer
icas. One of the duties of Cardinal
Gasparri, Papal Secretary of State, is
| to mark for the Pope's notice items
| of special Importance. The present
Pontiff, like Leo XIII, likes the whole
paper to be laid before him. Plus X
used, 1 believe, feel content at re-
ceiving cuttings on important matters
to be laid before him each morning.
While the clock is striking eight,
Benedict XIV is sitting at his desk,
| amid his private secretaries, to begin
| the labors of his long day. Work
goes on steadily until 8, at which
hour the Secretary Of State arrives

special matters to treat on with the
Head of the Church, and ambassadors
representing the different countries

See. Only rarely, Of course, is an
ambassador received by the Pope in.
person, because it is the duty Of the
Cardinal Secretary Of State to receive
the Diplomatic Corps one day every
week, and the report which each in
dividual has to make. A Cardinal or
a Bishop has always some official bus
mess to transact during his audience,
but this is not necessarily the case
with laymen of distinction; very often
a gentleman's prominent status in his
own sphere of life or particular serv-
ices to the Church in his own coun-
try attains for him special recogni-
tion in this way at the Vatican. Or
he may be given a special audience,
that is, an audience at which not
more than five or six persous-ail Of
whom may be his own party-are per
mitted to be present. Private and
special audiences over, public or col
lective audiences begin towards 1870.
At the public audiences any number
Of persons are received. The largest
public audience which I have ever
witnessed in Rome was that given to
the French Pilgrims, 10000 in num-
Der, who came to assist at the beatifi-
cation of Blessed Joan of Arc in the
days of Plus X.
The Daily Menu.
Benedict XIV, if not a vegetarian, is
on the border line. His dinner. which
takes place alone, consists mostly OF
vegetables and eggs, with very little
meat. His Holiness dimes alone, ac-
cording to the custom of the Popes,
a custom which Plus x did not see his
way to follow No more than half an
hour is passed at table, for the short
siesta which Benedict XIV allows him
self has to be finished by o'clock.
From 8 to 6, work continues uniilter-
rupted.
In the evening the Holy Father
anticipates Mathis and Lauds, and
afterwards takes some recreation ac
companied by one or two attendant
prelates. Sometimes this consists of
a half-hour's drive in the Vatican
gardens, at others the Pope walks
on the balconies from which all
Rome is seen. To some it may seem
rather strange that audiences should
be resumed as late as o'clock in the
evening. The audiences conceded at
this time, however, are not of such an
official character as those in the morn
ing; besides, it is usually only Cardi-
nails or Bishops who are then receiv-
ed, and then only for short time.
A Long Day.
BY 9, His Holiness retires to his pri-
vate chapel, and recites the Rosary
of the Blessed Virgin. After this the
evening meal, almost a repetition of
dinner, is taken, and then to his desk
for another hours quiet work. Nine
o'clock may seem late for supper, but
this have been told has been the Gus
tom of His Holiness for years. In
deed, the late Cardinal Rampolla new
er took his evening meal until IL
o'clock, after which the great Secre-
tary of State to Leo XIII retired to
his bed-chamber From the foregoing,
we may we'll conclude the Pontiffs
day is long and strenuous.
