localise he hns understood the require
ments of bis time and made the most
of them. When he became poio, the
Crthollc church was not making prog
ress. The policy of his predecessor, a
man of no great ability and of arbitrary
Mill, was detrimental to the church. It
had been to a lnrge extent undermined
even In Its former strongholds. The
first n-ork to which Voh Leo applied
Muielf was that of r linliilitating the
buret where it had lout ground and In
this ho was grently successful. The re
sult Is that now the Catholic chinch Is
more powerful thnnsfver before In Its
ilhtory and Is mnklng Memly progress.
The wisdom, the dlplomntle snKaclty and
the recognition by Pope Ico of modern
coLdltions have brought alwtit a change
respecting the Itomun Catholic cliurch
which would have been thought almost
lniKssible a quarter of a ceutury ago.
This distinguished man cannot live

BLASTS FROM RAM'S HORH.
The broad mind will not have the big
head.
What we gala In form we may lose In
force.
The Indulgence of the flesh dwarfs the
spirit.
Misfortunes are Ood's call to new min
istries.
The man who never begins never has to
break off.
Stolen fruits are sweet only to a de
railed appetite.
External forms of religion often mark
Its extinct fires.
To pander to the lower faculties Is to
paralyze the higher.
Borne people are planning already to
move for a change of administration when
they get to heaven.
SECIXAR SHOTS AT THO PULPIT.
Brooklyn Eagle: When you see the re
port that 30.000 clergymen Invested In the
racing concerns that promised sudden
wealth, you may take the statement for
exactly what It Is false. We may have
some clergymen who are foolish, but to
say that thousands of them are gamblers
and knaves Is too absurd to refute. And
sensationalists never tell the troth after
they have printed their falsehood. They
let the latter stand to disgrace Its Victims
and themselves.
Philadelphia Press: The Presbytery of
New York has set, perhaps, a difficult task
for the Presbyterians of that city to per
form In calling for contributions to the
amount of at least $750,000. In 1890 there
were fifty-six Presbyterian churches in
the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx,
while ln 1900, with an increase of 33 per
cent in the population, there were only
fifty-two churches. The money Is wanted
to pay debts on old churches and to build
new ones and revive interest in the work
of the church. Perhaps too much talk
about heresy In the last census period was
uot helpful.
Portland Oregonlan: If the Ministerial
association of Salt Lake City puts the sec
tarian issue of Mormonism ahead ot the
moral and legal Issue of polygamy In Its
contest against Reed Smoot for a seat In
the United States senate, It will fail, as It
ought. Whether Mr. Smoot Is a Mormon
or a Presbyterian ln his religious beliefs
makes no difference with the qualifications
for senator. A Mormon apostle has as
much right to he senator as a Methodist
bishop, so far as his religious convictions
go. But when It comes to violating moral
and statute law It Is different. The
brethren would better give up a sectarian
fight.
Chicago Chronicle: The minister who re
cently recommended marriage of white and
black as a solvent of the race question
In the south has learned little from eth
nology. In Europe all races freely mingle,
but do not Intermarry. It was slavery
which contaminated the south by denying
to the blacks the legal right to marry and
to bring up children In freedom. Illicit
miscegenation as a substitute for virtuous
marriage within race has proved a maledic
tion ln be south. When slavery's effects
have been extirpated by time and the sys
tem is forgotten there will be no race ques
tion left to vex either race. This vagarlan
preacher, a native of Virginia and white.
Is a sociological freak.

And walk Instead, to mortify my pride,
Ten cents a day thus saved I'll lay aside
