POPULAR JPOLOGETICS
Adapted from the German of Rev.
Peter Nilkes, S. J., by Rev. James
Watcher.
4. Why a Catholic?
Objection: Why are you a Cath
olic? Just because you were born so.
Answer: That alone would not be
sufficient. I am a Catholic by the
grace of God and remain so because
I am convinced of the truth of the
Catholic Church. This conviction is
founded on the following facts:
1. The Catholic Church, founded by
Jesus Christ, the Son of God. presents
in its inner constitution and outward
spread such an overwhelmingly grand
and unique spectacle of victories over
all earthly and infernal hostile pow
ers, which clearly proves that she is
the work of God.
The words of Gamaliel of old are
the real test: "If this work be of men,
it will come to nought. But if it be
of God, you cannot overthrow it"
(Acts 5:38, 39).
As creation has the stamp of its
Creator so the Catholic Church car
ries for every thinking man the stamp
of its divine Founder. That is still
clearer if we compare her with other
Christian denominations.
The Greek-Russian Church is an old
fossil, a state church. There was not
a trace of the liberty of the Catholic
Church. Now that the state support
has gone to pieces, the church which
it supported will go the way of all
human institutions. It will split up
into warring factions more so than
heretofore, and the good will seek sal
vation where alone it can be found, in
the Catholic Church.
We need not say much about Prot
estanism with its hundreds of contra
dictory sects. That this "confusion
worse confounded" cannot be from
God nor according to the will of God
is self-evident to any reasoning being.
Truth is but one, as God, the author
of truth, is but one. Therefore two
contradictory doctrines cannot be
true. Hence, for example, it cannot
be true that baptism is necessary and
is not necessary for salvation that
Christ is God and that He is not God,
etc. Well has the great convert, "the
Master Mind of America," Dr. Brown
son (1876) said that Protestantism
is a negative religion. That there is
very little positive faith in it is well
known. A great many who still call
themselves Christians, contradictory
as it is, deny the very foundation of
Christianity, the Divinity of Christ.
2. Of all religions no one has been
exposed so much to attacks and per
secutions as the Catholic Church.
Against Rome and the Catholics in
general rages the longest storm known
to history. Thus it must be. The tine
Church of Christ, being the bride of
Christ, must be like her bridegroom
and must hence experience the truth
of His words: "If they have perse
cuted me, they will also persecute
you" (John 15:20). With cross and
crown of thorns she must walk the
way of the cross of her divine Bride
groom and Founder.
3. "Only to the Catholic Church be
long all those many and wonderful in
stitutions, which were founded by
God, to prove the manifest credibility
of Christianity. Yea, the Church is
in itself, on account of its wonderful
spread, its superior sanctity and in
exhaustible fruitfulness of all good, on
account of its Catholic unity and in
vincible perpetuity, a grand perpetual
proof of its credibility and an incon
trovertible witness of its divine mis
sion. So it happens that, like a dis
tinguished mark among the nations, it
invites on the one hand those who
have not yet attained to the faith, and
on the other gives her children the
certainty that the faith which they
confess rests on unshakable ground."
(The Vatican Council, sess. 3, chap
3).
For a further development of these
proofs we must refer the reader to
works on apologetics.
PREDESTINATION.
Predestination is to many the most
difficult questions in all theology. The
fact that God knows how we are go
ing to act does not rob us of free will,
any more than you would be to blame
if you offered a poisoned man an an
tidote and he refused to accept it, dy
ing as a result. Just how God can
foretell the actions dependent on our
free wills, our intellects are not big
enough to fathom.
"Predestination," says Wilhelm and
Scannel's Manual of Catholic The
ology, Vol. II, page 266, "is Divine
Providence leading rational creatures
to their supernatural end, the Beatific
Vision." The Beatific Vision is
heaven, the sight of God.
"We hold that God will have all
men to be saved," says Outlines of
Dogmatic Theology, Vol. II, page 123,
"or, in other words, that He has des
tined each man for a place in the
ranks of the Blessed, and that, in the
case of the lost, this Divine destina
tion has been frustrated." On the
same page of this work we find: "It
is of faith that God seriously and
sincerely wills the salvation of some
who are not of the number of the pre
destined (Cone. Trid. Sess. 6, Can. 17
Denz. 709) and that Christ did not die
for the salvation of the predestined
only (Prop. 5, Janssenii Denz. 970),
for the contradictories of these state
ments are held to be heretical."
A number of Scriptural texts are
then given in upholding this doctrine,
among them a lengthy quotation from
I Tim. chapter II, wherein this sen
tence occurs: "For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of God our
Savior, who will have all men to be
saved, and to come to the knowledge
of the truth." Christ (Matt. XXIII,

MY OFFERING OF LOVE.
Dear Sacred Heart, that dost impart
Thy deathless love to me
To heav'n I sing, and hither bring
An off'ring unto Thee!
No diadems of dazzling gems,
Nor highly burnished gold
Of costliness, do I possess
These lifeless are, and cold.
For Love's sake, this off'ring take—
My grateful life, made sweet
By prayer and praise thro' pain-filled
days—
I lay it at Thy feet!
Thou art my Way! from day by day
Thy Face is imaged clear
Within my heart, whose Light Thou
art
Thus, Lord, I have no fear.
Thou art my Truth! From early
youth
Thou hast been all to me
By Thy wise Hand my years were
planned
For good, I plainly see.
Thou art my Lite? Thro' stormiest
strife
My hand Thou didst firm hold
And mad'st more strong Thy gift of
song
That shines, by Grace, like gold.
And so Thou art, dear Sacred Heart,
Of all my songs the best
Each note, each cord, is Thine, dear
Lord,
To touch and make souls blest.
Thy glory shines on me in lines
Of pentecostal fire
By Thy sweet Grace, my heart em
brace
To lift me higher and higher!
Blest Three in One! The hymn is
done
My heart's Heart calls to me.
High, Triune Power! Crown—bless—
this hour,
I consecrate to Thee!

BEAUTIFUL STORY OF "VIRGIN
WITH BIRD."
"While paying a visit to the Cathe
dral of Notre Dame in Paris," writes
a former member of St. Patrick's par
ish of La Junta, Colo., now connected
with the United States postal agency
in France, "my attention was arrested
by the preference shown by many chil
dren to repeat their prayers before
the 'Vierge a l'oiseau' (the Virgin with
the bird). Seeking an explanation, I
found in the gentle pages of Louise de
Grandprie the pretty story of the
statue of the Virgin, which will lend
interest to those who may visit the
historic edifice.
"In the Rue Chauoinesse in Paris
there lived a young woman, very de
vout, who came every day to pray.
She brought with her her son, a little
fellow very wide-awake and full of
spirits: His mother had taught him
to say his prayers. Cyril would close
his little hands to say his 'Ave Maria'
and he would throw a kiss to the little
Jesus, his dear friend, complaining
sometimes to his mother that the little
Jesus would not play with him. 'You
are not good enough yet,' said his
mother. "Jesus plays only with the
little children in paradise.'
"A very severe winter fell and the
young mother fell ill and no longer
came to church. Cyril never saw the
little Jesus now, but he often thought
of Him as he played at the foot of his
mother's bed. On one of those days
when the sky was dull and leaden and
the air heavy and depressing, and the
poor woman was rather worse and
more hopeless than usual, she became
so weak they thought each moment
would be her last.
"Cyril could not understand why his
mother no lodger smiled at him or
stroked his hair or called him to her.
With his little heart almost bursting
and his eyes full of tears, he said: 'I
will go and tell the little Jesus of my
trouble.'
"While they were attending to the
poor mother the child disappeared.
He ran as fast as his little legs could
carry him and entered the Cathedral
by the cloister door, crossed the
transept, and was soon at the foot of
the statue of the Virgin Mary, where
he was accustomed to say his prayers
with his mother. 'Little Jesus,' said
he, 'Thou art very happy. Thou hast
Thy mother mine, who was so good,
is always asleep now and I am alone.
Little Jesus, wake my mother up, and
I will give you my best toys, morning
and evening I will send you the sweet
est kiss and say my best prayer. And
look, to begin with, I have brought
you my favorite bird. He is tame and
will eat the golden crumbs of para
dise out of your hand.' At the same
time he stretched out his little closed
hand towards Jesus.
"The Divine Child stretched out His
hand and Cyril let his beloved little
bird escape. The bird, which had a
lovely colored plumage, flew straight
to the hand of the Infant Christ and
has remained there to this day. The
Virgin smiled on the child, and her
white marble robe at that moment
became the same color as the bird's
plumage.
"Cyril, with his heart very full, got
up to go out, but before leaving the
still asleep. The young mother was
sitting upright in her bed, her head,
still very bad, resting on a pillow, but
her wide open eyes were looking for
her little one.
'I was quite sure the little Jesus
would wake you up,' said little Cyril,
climbing onto her bed. 'I took Him
my bird this morning to take care of
for me in the Garden of Paradise.'
"Life once more returned to the
woman and she kissed her boy."
'When you next go to Notre Dame,'
Louise de Grandpre adds, 'be sure to
visit the Vierge a l'oiseau, who always
hears the prayers of the little ones.'"
THE CULTURE OF THE HEART.
The cultivation of tenderness of
heart, which is pre-eminently a
womanly virtue, is greatly neglected
in our day, although it is as impor
tant as, and should go hand in hand
with, purely mental culture. A woman
who possesses merely mental culture
has left, the better side of her .nature
undeveloped.
Can you conceive a womanly ideal
in which the innate disposition to
make others hap&y is lacking? Has
not the Creator implanted in woman,
as one of His noblest gifts, this desire
to do good and dispense charity?
What does it mean to make others
happy, to do good, and dispense char
ity? Generally this question asso
ciates itself more or less with dis
tribution of money. Many estimable
people, however, are deprived on their
earthly pilgrimage of the excess
baggage of worldly wealth are they,
therefore, unable to minister to their
fellowmen?
The Lord has perhaps, for prudent
reasons, denied you temporal goods,
but has given you freely treasures of
heart and mind. Why not share these
with your rich, but in this respect
poor, brother? Sacrifice an occa
sional evening, though it mean quit
ting the cozy family circle. Visit the
young woman, whose whole treasure
in life, her husband, has just been
buried. Let her know how intensely
you share her sorrow and that you
understand its magnitude. If you suc
ceed in awakening in her the thought
of resignation, you will have accom
plished more than if you had relieved
the material needs of a poor person.
God has given you a joyous, cheer
ful disposition. Let it radiate joy to
your ill friend, who, removed from
the pleasures of life, is confined to
her sickbed. Are you less rewarded
by the smile which lights up the suf
ferer's face than by the thanks of
hungry ones whom you have given to
eat? In your neighborhood lives an
old friend of your mother's. She is
mourning the aberrations of a be
loved son. Give her an hour and com
fort her, persuading her that the
prodigal son will return penitent and
reformed. You may then liken your
self to the good Samaritan who has
poured oil and wine on her wounds.
The daughter of a friend of yours
who died an early death is in board
ing school or orphanage. The father
is so engrossed in business or has
such long hours in the workshop that
he cannot devote much time to the
child. He has placed her in safe
hands. But what do the drooping lips
of the child tell you? What do you
read in those wistful eyes? Go and
satisfy the child's yearning for moth
erly sympathy. Talk to her of her
departed mother, you knew her.
Among your acquaintances is an
elderly unmarried lady, whom some
call a cross old maid. She is gener
ally shunned. Of her it is said: "She
has had many misfortunes and her
embitterment can be easily accounted
for—but why should we give her an
opportunity to use her sharp tongue
on us?" Owing to such treatment she
naturally becomes more embittered.
Why not try to stimulate the more
amiable side of her nature by doing
her a favor or showing her some at
tention? To place jingling coins in
the hand of a needy one is a privilege
denied you, but you might give this
spiritually empoverished person the
gold of a noble heart. If you restore
her confidence in mankind, you have
given her a rich gift, indeed.
You know a widow who has seen
better days. Death of her husband
and breadwinner has brought the
family deprivations. Perhaps you
alone perceive the poverty which they
are concealing from the world. Go to
one of your well-to-do friends and
plead their cause and be the medium
for dispensing charity in a tactful
manner. Is this work of charity less
deserving than if you had given from
your own well-filled purse?
Is it not a false position to take to
complain that you are not able to be
charitable because you have not the
material means?
The tenderness of heart from which
biu.'Ii
spiriiual charity springs should
Li- caiuvalod. it should be developed,
e:Hly in life, in your children, par
Utui.ii 1: ia tlie girls.

THE ENGLISH PARISH CHURCH.
Catholic churches, especially those
in rural areas, were, during the Mid
dle Ages, centers, not only for divine
worship, but also for English com
munity life in its various aspects.
There was no need for club rooms and
church institutes in those days. The
Church served this purpose. Perhaps
this, in a measure, explains the as
tonishing frequency in which they ex
ist in some places, although be it said
with emphasis, our forefathers at all
times held their churches in supreme
affection for the religious purpose for
which they were consecrated. Emi
nent writers testify that England
stands first in all Christendom in the
number and antiquity of her churches.
History leaves no loophole for doubt
that the English parish church of
olden days possessed a wonderful hold
on the affections of the whole country
Church turned round to have one moi'e side. A point, in measure explana-
look at his little bi»d he loved so
dearly. He was struck with astonish
ment when he heard the favored bird
singing one of the sweetest songs in
honor of the Virgin and her Child.
"When Cyril returned home he went
tory, requires to be remembered. The
religious duty of paying tithe became
enforceable at law as early as the
tenth century. This tithe was some
times happily termed "God's portion.
It was intended to be applied to the

was uninterruptedly practiced through
out the pre-Reformation period.
There were no workhouses in those
days, and there was no need of them.
The Christian spirit was verily abroad
in the land. There was a sense of
brotherhood which found ventilation
in "God's portion." Those were the
happy days of Catholic England, when
in the eyes of the Church all were on
an equal footing at the parish meet
ing, as they were when they knelt be
fore the altar—lord, tenant, villein, or
serf.

THE BEATITUDES.
s The Beatitudes are the doors thrown
open by the hand of Our Lord for men
to walk forth in life upon the true
road to happiness upon which lurk no
deceptions, and in the hearts of those
who pass through these doors there
are no doubts, no fears of deception.
The sign-posts which guide them at
every turn are written by the finger of
God others are deceived. Many who
have believed they could find happi
ness in the attainment of wealth, or
the satisfaction of their ambitions or
in the joys of domestic life, have in
the end missed their aim, and even
though they may have gained what
they set before them they have found
in it only restlessness and dissatisfac
tion. But those who ruled their lives
by the laws of the Beatitudes, have
been guided by One Who has never
yet misled anyone who has submitted
his life to that divinely revealed rule.

BEADING THE BIBLE.
Some time every day should be
given to studious reading of the Bible,
maintains New York's most widely
read daily. Even if people have no
inclination to scan the sacred pages
from a religiously inspired motive,
they should read them because of the
literary inspiration and satisfaction.
Between Genesis and Revelation
are to be found hundreds of wonder
ful stories. There are stories of love,
like Ruth's stories of adventure, like
Jacob's, or the wanderings of the Is
raelites.
And, if one has not had enough of
such reading during the past four
years, the Bible student will find
therein stories of personal combat,
like David's, or of warfare or destruc
tion. "There is only one kind of
story that you will not find in the
Bible," notes The Journal's editor.
"There are no funny stories, no hu
mor. There is not in all literature
one piece of humorous writing that
has lived. Men do not spend real
thought in writing things to laugh at.
And men who prefer to read comical
stuff do not get much mental exer
cise out of it."
THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE FIRST UMBRELLA MAN.
Mother looked out of the window
at the sunny sky and then she glanced
at the newspaper which she held in
her hand.
"The weather man says 'showers
today,'" said Mother. "You had bet
ter carry your umbrella."
"Oh, botheration," exclaimed Molly.
"Who'd dream of taking an umbrella
on a perfectly beautiful day like this.
Umbrellas are awful nuisances, any
way! Whoever invented such a thing,
I'd like to know."
"If you really would like to know,
said Mother, "open your coats for a
few minutes and I will tell you."
"Oh, goody," cried Molly. "Tell roe
about the first umbrella man."
"Umbrellas were used over twenty
six hundred years ago in Assyria. If
you go to the museum you can see
carved stones showing the King of
ancient days going forth to fcattle
with his servant following with an
umbrella to hold over the fighting
king's head. But umbrellas were not
used in modern times as a general
thing until they were introduced into
England by a man named Jonas Han
way. This young man spent many of
his days in foreign travel, and on one
of his journeys he encountered a man
carrying an umbrella. "What a very
useful article," exclaimed Hanway.
"I will buy one to protect my new
hat from the falling rain." Before
this time women had carried umbrel
las and therefore umbrellas were
thought to belong to the costume of
women, much as we think today that
parasols are to be carried by ladies
only. So you can imagine the fun
that was poked at Jonas Hanway
when he appeared on the streets of
London—the first man to walk with
an umbrella—with his new umbrella
raised above his head to ward off the
falling drops of rain.
"See the man with the lady's um
brella," cried some of the passersby,
while the little boys pelted him with
stale vegetables and eggs, which really
made a worse storm descending upon
Jonas' head than the rain which fell
from heaven. "The umbrellas will
ruin our trade," moaned the cab driv
ers, who always did a flourishing
business on wet days. "God sends the
rain," murmured the pious, "who is
this man to keep the rain off of his
person? Would the rain be sent if it
were not to wet the mortals on
earth?" This storm of abuse had
continued long after Mr. Hanway had
passed on his way with his stout um
brella held firmly over his head.
"Never mind," he told himself, "soon
it will be a very popular thing."

THE SISTER DIRECTRESS.
over thirty years before the umbrella
became popular in England. At first
they were owned only by hotel and
inn keepers who kept them close at
hand to hold over their patrons as
they went to and from their car
riages. Later when they were used
by people other than inn keepers for
business reasons, there would be one
umbrella in a family for the use of
all. When their use became still more
common some people said that there
were three classes of people in Eng
land. The class of people who could
afford a carriage and did not need
an umbrella. The class of people who
could afford an umbrella but not a
carriage. And the class of people who
could afford neither."

"look how dark it is getting. I think
I will carry my umbrella, after all.
I'm glad I don't have to stand being

WHO'S WHO IN POTATOES.
I sent an invitation to some thirty
young people, asking them to meet
at my home on a certain evening if
they wished to know "Why." Their
curiosity aroused, they all came! I
had the rooms decorated with ques
tion marks, and a simple lunch ready.
At table I announced my plan that
we organize ourselves into a club for
study of the common things around
us. I told them I had always wanted
to know the "Whys and Wherefores"
of the things we used every day, and
suggested we find out together, having
some good fun along with our study.
Their response was enthusiastic. And
when (to test out the "study" part
of my plan), I picked up the salt
cellar, then the pepper, then some
glass, and asked questions about
them, no one knew anything.
We named ourselves the "Want to
Know Club." As our badge, we
adopted the question mark. I was
elected president, and at once arrang
ed where we should meet next time,
for our first subject I selected "Po
tatoes," giving out thirty topics on
the potato, each member to study up
and give us a little talk on his par
ticular item. We also planned the
supper for our potato meeting. It
was to consist of nothing but pota
toes, so we had to think hard. We
decided to have them fried, baked,
scalloped, made into cake, and used in
so many different ways that, besides
having fun over it, many of us learned
how to use the common potato. Each
member was to bring one potato item
for the menu.
That potato evening was a great
success. Clever decorations and place
cards (with jingles), stuck in pota
toes, showed originality and imagina
tion. We gave our talks while at the
table, each one rising. It was all good
fun and very informal. I started the
ball rolling by giving a history of the
potato bug, passing around some col
ored drawings. Then we had the
origin of the potato, which brought in
quite a bit of history then the coun
tries where grown the various kinds
of potato the keeping qualities the
cultivation and handling of the va
rious kinds, and the transportation
problem. The remarks made by a
young fellow about seventeen on the
transportation of potatoes were won
derful.
This potato meeting was followed
by an "orange" evening, and at Easter
time an "egg" evening. The subjects
are endless, and can be made absorb
ing, even exciting.
