other question, and judging from
the trouble which it has already

Citizen may be right when it says
that it would have been “much
better if the whole matter had
been let alone and the natural
evolution of events depended up-
on." There is one consideration
which should not be overlooked.

In other words, Protestants
have to form their conscience from
the Bible; but to peruse the Bible
they must know how to read, and
to learn how to read they must
have schools. Therefore, Protest-
antism is favorable to education
If thts conclusion be correct, then
we have to come to this other
conclusion: The Catholic Church
does not regard the Bible as the
only rule of taith and does not
command tte reading of the same
as of necessity. Therefore, Cath-
olics don’t need to know how to
read, and consequently the Church
is not favorable to education. An-
other conclusion may be drawn
from the same argument. Infidels
and unbelievers have no use for
the Bible as a sacred book; there-
fore, there being no necessity for
them to know how to read, they
do not favor education. While
we admit that many Protestants
may have the Bible in view when
they send their children to school,
it can hardly be denied that the
majority of them do not think of
' , but want their children to re-
[ ceivc such education as will help
them to get along well in this i
world; to learn, not only howto
read, but also how to write; to
learn the multiplication table and
many other usdful things
Moreover, how many Protest |
ants have no Bible of their own ? i
How many, who have one, never ,
consult it? How many leave it ,
to their ministers to explain to
them the sacred text? We find,1]
in Protestant organs whole col (
urn ns in which questions concern- (
ing religious practices, religious )
teachings, sacred texts, are made (
and answered,—all of which proves ;
that the individual Protestant re-
lies on the education of others for
the proper understanding of the

of taith is only a rule for those

study of the Bible, consequently cellcnt gunnery exhibited by Ad
only for the minority. And even ■ • —
semble most of the naval officers, this minority is more or less gnid
ed by the teachings and traditions
of their respective sects. A Meth-
odist preacher is supposed to be-
lieve and teach as his neighbor
preacher does, or as all the preach-
ers of that sect do, and if he
chooses to teach differently, he
runs the risk of being expelled
from his church. It will not do

Father Chid wick of the

be too great a task to answer all
the charges and installations
against Catholic charity contained
in the article: yet we wiU examine
a few of them and see on what
foundation they rest. First, tte
Rev. Midyett protests against the
idea “that Catholics are the lead-
ers of the world’s charities.” He
contends that the difference be-
tween Catholic and noci Cathulic
charities is the method of exerris-
ine charity- “Protestant and n»-
’*"”**“ “■ Catholic charities are usually on
' the quiet, and largely remain ‘in
1 secret,' while the charities Rome
performs are trumpeted abroad by
a ‘charitable attire.’ which, like the
hypocrite of old, sounds the

that “1

and just as anxious to hold their
people in the taith as are the
priests of any other nationalities.
They are good men and we move
a vote of confidence in them." We
had no idea that the pastoral zeal
and solicitude of the German
priests in this country had ever
been questioned. The decree of
