Are Catholics not Chris-
tians ?—The Baptist Standard
says: "Christian education is the
only safeguard against infidelity
And Catholicism. Infidelity is de-
manding a purely secular educa-
tion, which has—No God, no law,
no virtue, no vice, no right, no
wrong, no sin, no death, no hell,
no hereafter. Leave the education
of the young to the infidel, and
you will have a generation ol
atheists." And despite this true
description of our public school
system, the Standard attacks and
abuses Catholics for their opposi-
tion to it. Why, what do you
want of us ? You want Christian
j education ? So do we, and onr
Christian education embraces all
that can counteract what you and
we condemn in the secularized
system. Why, then do you up-
hold that system by patronizing
it ? Where arc your Christian
schools for the masses of your
children ? Your colleges ? They
are for a very small minority of
the well to-do people. What be-
comes of the greater number?
Your colleges! Have not we as
many as you? Why don’t you
preach the gospel to the poor also,
as we do ? Don’t you see you
make a very great and palpable
mistake?
A G<XJD HINT IS BETTER THAN

all our dear readers to take the
following hint from the Ptttsdnrg^
Cat/iolic to heart:

And as that memorable day,

should be reminded of the great-

and his love for Ireland, and to
recall to our mind the reasons not

Irishmen should venerate the mem-
