TRIBUTE TO FATHER MATHEW

The Father Mathew Man, temperance
publication of the Catholic Church, in
recent issue contains the following ad-
dress by Superintendent Tope of the
Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League:
Father Mathew was in many respects
the most remarkable and in all respects
the most successful individual temper
ance reformer the world ever knew The
revolution he wrought among the Eng
disappearing people was marvellous; the
hand of God was in it. There never was
worker more competent than Father
Mathew to judge of the merits and de-
merits of the moral suasion method; and
yet he, the most successful exponent of
that method, recognizing its limitations as
a method, wrote: The principle of pro-
hibition seems to me the only safe and
certain remedy for the evils of intemper-
ance.'
Father Mathew is most revered by
non-Catholics. Some day Ireland will ap-
preciate the greatest temperance apostle
of all times"
