The Government of Mexico is carry

but convincing evidences to the con-
trary. In fourteen out of thirty-tWo

those who in conscience resent such

giving to the world an example of
heroic martyrdrom for conscience

ly, ruthlessly, pursuing a policy where

Sunday evening at st. Paul's church

(Reported to the Dispatch.)


In accordance with the earnest re-
commendation Of the Bishops Admin
istrative Committee of the National
catholic Welfare Conference. the
Bishops of all Catholic Diocese re
quested the clergy and all of the faith
tul to take part in and offer to AL
mighty God special prayers and de-
Votlons for the Church in Mexico. The
sermon, therefore, at st. Pauls Cath,
Ole church which was preached Sun
day morning by the Reverend Eugene
+. carroll pastor, was on the subject
of the prosecutions and martyrdom
of members of the Church in Mexico
Father Carroll said in part "The
type of man power of which the pre-
sent Mexican Government is indeed
made up is exactly that of the present
Soviet Government. Both of the Gov
ernments continue to leave no stone
untured in their effort to put Christ,
to put God out of His own world To
the question what has Christ done
that He should be treated in such a
shameful shabby, blasphemous fash
ion thy can as yet offer no sane rea-
son. There is none other so blind as
he who will not see. Surely, those who
go to make up the aforementioned
Governments cannot help but know
and realize that in all the world all
clear-thinking men without prejudice
recognize Christ as the greatest pow
er for good that the world has ever
known. His life on earth was indeed
spotless and to those who would do
away with Him on the score on which
the Soviet and Mexican Governments
seek to DO away with Him does. He
put straight the question Which of
you shall convince me of sim The
testimony of mankind of His early
mission was He hath done all things
we'll and even he who condemned
Christ to death, PontiuS PLATE, as he
washed his hands when he should
have washed his heart, said of Christ,
why, what evil hath this man done?
/ find no cause Of death in him.
Every man living an upright life
wants God for man is a religious
animal and when a man seeks to put
God not indeed only out of his own
life but out of the life of mankind in
general is he indeed a bosom frien0
of the DEVILS Without doubt as his
madness cools will such man realize
that God cannot wholly be driven out
OF the hearts of men, as has already

Premature Plaudits.

There is more to a symphony or
chestra than many listeners thought,
and the audience begins applauding
before the 'Polonaise' is over" These
words, recently written in description
of one of the popular students con-
certs undertaken by the National
Symphony Orchestra, put the finger"
on one of the most irritating of the
small faults of the American people
failure to permit the final note or
chord Of song or musical composition
to be heard.
In the case referred to, occurring at
a Washington high school, the pre-
mature applause can be laid to the
enthusiasm and esgerness of youth.
When their elders do the same trick
1t is more likely to be case of posing.
Some listener, fearful lest his degree
of culture be doubted, bursts into the
final note-perhaps the most i'm
portant one of all-with a resounding
smack of the hands. Those surround
ing him, unwilling to grant him su-
periority In discrimination, do like
wise. The avalanche of sound is on:
the diva's mouth is open, or the
virtuoso's bow still moves, but all that
the true music-loyAr can hear is the
smack of palm upd 2palm. The latter

Great Sphinx Is Portrait
Bust of King Chephren

To the Editor of The Star:
The Star Is running an interesting
series Of articles by one calling him
self "The Debunker." In the issue
Of March IL, 1895, the Egyptian
Sphinx is described as "a statue of
Harmachis the Egyptian god" This
Is an error. The Sphinx is nothing
more than the portrait bust Of the
Pharoah Chephren on the body of a
lion. He ruled about 1900 BIC, and
belonged 10 the fourth dynasty. As
the lion Is king Of the beasts. 50
Chephren wished to emphasize his SOW
ereignty over Egypt. The figure faces
east SO as to worship the sun god,
Re, a supreme divinity in Egypt. 1t
Is carved out of a limestone rock
which. In a general way. looked like
an animal before the sculptor's chisel
fashioned it. The proportions are i'm
mense. The size in feet is as fol-
lows: Length, 1877; height, go; ear.
AZ; nose, 5l2, and mouth, 7l2. The
Sphinx wears an expression Of SOW
ereign strength and greatness. 1t is
a most impressive sight, especially
when seen by moonlight.
There Is now no longer ANYTHING
mysterious, mystical and occult about
the Sphinx. Such attempts, some
times made today, to obtain hidden
meanings are nothing but webs of
speculation woven out Of peoples
minds, but having no foundation in
fact. All such vagaries are now mex
cusable in the light OF our present
knowledge.

the performer and to the enthusiastic
participants, but 1t should come at
the right time, which is after and not
during the performance.
Comedians, 1t may be pointed out,
suffer likewise from premature ap-
plause, suffering in which a good
many Of their audience are likely to
participate. In this case 1t Is some
individual who perhaps has heard the
joke before or who wishes to be
thought, to use a Scottish phrase,
quick on the uptake." There is prob
ably no point on which an adult
American is so sensitive as that Of
the possession of q sense Of humor.
The mirthful yelp, instantly initiated,
Of such a one can spoil the best Jest
Of q show or Of a theater season.
There was something, after all, to the
custom Of ancient Roman actors who
concluded their performance with a
phrase the translation Of which Is
Fare We well and give us your ap-
plause."

Ambition and CAPACITY.

DR.. Louis K. Anspacher, speaking re-
Gently at the Washington Town Hall,
gave it as his opinion that the real
American tragedy is that of ambition
unrelated to capacity" There are doz-
ems of unhappy men, the lecturer in
sisted, who might have made first
rate plumbers or bricklayers, but who
have wasted their talents in vain
effort to be fifth-rate lawyers or
tenth-rate physicians. The world, in
effect, is too abundantly supplied
with square pegs trying to fit them
selves into round holes.
But there is nothing new in such
plea for a wiser policy of vocational
education and guidance. Thirty years
ago, it may be remembered, there was
q story current which illustrated the
point very neatly indeed. A can
tankerous old lady, the tale repre-
sented, was moved to inquire of her
small grandson, Johnny, what are
you going to be when you grow up?"
And the boy was repgted as answer
ing. "a civil enginer" whereupon
Granny tartly observed. You'd bet
