Ily CARDINAL JAMES GIBBONS
THIS WORLD is governed more
by ideals tlinn by ideas; it is in
fluenced more by living, con
ereto models tban by nbstraet princi
ples of virtue.
The model held up to Christian
women is not the Amazon, glorying in
her martini deeds nnd prowess; it is not
the Spartan woman, who made female
perfection consist in the development,
of physical strength at the expense of
feminine decorum and modesty; it is
not tho goddess of pagan love, liko
Venus, whoso votaries regarded beauty
of form and personal charms as the
highest type of female excellence; nor
is it an imperious Juno. No; tho
model held up to woman from the very
dawn of Christianity is the peerless
Mother of our Messed Redeemer. She
is the pattern of virtue alike to maiden,
wife and mother. She exhibits the vir
ginal modesty becoming the maid, tho
conjugal fidelity and loyalty of tho
spouse, and tho untiring devotion of
the mother.
The Sexes Equal Now and Hereafter
TA7"OMAN'S origin and destiny are
the samo as man's; so is her dig
nity ccpial in every way. As both were
redeemed by the same Lord and as botli
aspire to the same heavenly inherit
nnce, so should they be regarded as of
equal rank on earth; as they are par
takers of the same spiritual gifts, so
should they share alike the blessings
and prerogatives of domestic life.
In the mind of tho Catholic Church,
however, equal rights do not imply
that both sexes should engage promis
cuously in the same pursuits, but
rather that each sex should discharge
thoso duties which are adapted to its
physical constitution and sanctioned
by tho canons of society.
To somo imong tho gentler sex the
words, "equal rights," have been, it is
to be feared, synonymous with "sim
ilar rights."

THERE arc times in every man's or woman's life when the strain upon
nerve anil brain becomes too heavy, when nerve starvation manifests
itself in disturbed sleep, poor digestion and a general run down feeling.
It is then that Sauatogen comes as the friend in need to revitalize and uplift the
nervous system, to infuse new strength ?nd endurance. Every day, in every
land, thoughtful people avail themselves of the splendid tonic and upbuilding
properties of Sanatogcn under just such conditions. Hall Came frankly states
"that on more than one occasion Sanatoccn has benefited him." Ncaier home.
the Hon. Win. C. Adamson, Chairman of the Committee on Interstate and then hearts
Foreign Commerce H. R.f reports that he has found Sauatogen valuable to
restore wasted energies and to compose the nerves of cases of long-sustained
effort and exhaustion."
And remember that more than 16,000 members of the medical profession
have recorded in writing their observations of the beneficial action of Sauatogen.

Suffrage, or the right to vote, and
the right to hold oflice, are ambitions
which some women have, that are
really rights of simihirit; and not of
equality. Seeking these so-called rights
alienate the feminine spirit from its
foreordained and guarded haven tliei
home.
To debar woman from such pursuits
as suffrage, or from doing a man's
work, or from wearing masculine at
tire, is not to degrade her.
To restrict her field of action to the
gentler avocations of life is not to fet
ter her aspirations after the higher and
the better.
Woman's Superemlncnt Rights
IT IS, on the contrary, to secure to
her not equal rights, so-called, but
those supereminent rights that can not
fail to endow her with a sacred influ
ence in her own proper sphere; for as
soon as woman trenches on the domain
of man, she must not be surprised to
find that the reverence once accorded
to her has been, in part, or wholly,
withdrawn.
The home whether that home is a
palace or a cottage exercises more
sway in tlie government of the land or
I the uplifting of the people than our
houses ot Congress and State legisla
tures. Our President, our statesmen
and, our judiciary hold the high offices
of framing or interpreting or execut
ing the laws. But our Christian
women wives and mothers hold a
higher place, for they mould the char
acter of our statesmen and jurists
their cjnldhood and instil virtue
Our greatest statesmen
have loudly and unanimously
elaimed their indebtedness to
mothers.

young should rbegin at the mother's
knee. The miim" of a child, like soft
ened wax, reoeiwith ease the first
impressions, which are always the
deepest and most enduring. "A young
man, according to his way, even when
lie is old, hoTwill not depart from it."
I. Peter, II.,'2. A child is susceptible
of instruction much earlier in life than
parents generally imagine. Mothers
should watch with a jealous eye tho
first unfolding of the infant mind, and
'pour into it tho seed of heavenly
, knowledge.
