who died recently, was always a anthropy or the service of our fellow-
friend of Irish liberty, and among his men as exemplified, for instance, by
closest friends were Irish residents of
Chicago. The editor of Th% Gaelic
American when he lived in Chicago
frequently met him in connection with
Irish affairs and the two spoke to-
gether, with George Fred. Williams, at
a Fourth of July outing of the Clan-
na-Gael in Boston. Mr. Mason was
then United States Senator from Illi-
nois. In his speech, which strongly
advocated Ireland's Independence, he
referred contemptuously to the Anglo-
maniacs as "those fellows who turn
up their trousers every tim it rains
in London." Yet he was ot unmixed
English descent.
Mr. Mason had the unique distinc-
tion of having served in both branches
of Congress. He was born at Frank-"
linville, N. Y., July/7, 1850. When
he was eight yeas old his family
moved to Bentonsport, Ia., where he
was educated. He taught school from
1866 until 1870, and in 1872 was ad-
mitted to the Illinois bar. He moved
to Chicago and entered actively into
State pod!tics. In 1879 he was elected
to the Illinois State Assembly and
then served as State Senator from
1881 to 1885.
Mr. Mason was first elected to Con-
gress in 1887 and served in the Fif-
tieth and Fifty-first Congresses as a
member of the House of Representa-
tives. In 1897 he was elected to the
United States Senate from Illinois,
but was defeated for re-election in
1902. He resumed the practise of law
in Chicago until 1917, when he was
elecfed to the House of Representa-
tives, serving continuously from that
time until his death.
our hard working physicians and
nurses. But when we serve our fel-
lowmen without a thought of God, we
.deserve Our Lord's rebuke. To serve
man only, or merely to talk about the
service of humanity, while ignoring
religion, is to put man, humanity, the
human beast, upon the throne that be-
longs to God alone.
Those who would make the service
of hunlanity a substitute for the ser-
i vice of God, forget that, without God
and the future life for individual men,
humanity would be doomed to final
ruin and extinction. The term hu-
manity is a mere mental abstraction
unless it means all human beings of
the past, of the present, and qf the
future. The human beings of the past
are dead and gone: There is no chance
to serve them. Those of "the present
are a very small fraction of humanity
and they, too, must soon go. Those of
the future will live on earth but a few
days. Without God and the future
life all humanity is mocked by death.
The service of humanity without ref-
erence to religion thus becomes a will-
o'-the-wisp, a chasing of rainbows. Be-
lief in God and the future life are
necessary postulates of the mind and
heart. With this belief we can laugh
at death. "O death, where is thy vic-
tory? O death, where is thy sting?"
(I Cor. ,xv, 55),
Forgetfulness of God and the here-
after is" probably the greatest plague
of modern society. We sh)uld give re-
ligion the first place in our lives. At
the close of our lives we want to be
able to say: "I have fought the good

Rt. Rev. B. J. Kelley, D. D.,
Bishop of Savannah, draws an excel-
lent picture of the ideal Catholic home
in a pastoral letter which he reecntly
issued:
"What, makes a home a Catholic
one? It is no merely the fact that
all are Catholics, because, unfortun-
ately, there are homes where only
Catholics are found, and very decid-
edly they are not Catholic homes. I
should expect to find in a Catholic
home these things: Catholic pictures
of the Sacred Heart, our Blessed Lady,
and some of the saints; Catholic pa-
pers and books on the table, show-
ing evidence that they are read; con-
versation on Catholic topics at table
and in the living room; Rosaries and
Scapulars worn by all; attendance at
Sunday Mass; frequent approach to
the Sacraments. A peep in the nurs-
,ery would find the little children at
mother's knees saying their night and
morning prayers; night and morning
prayers reverently said by all; the
sound of the Angelus bell recognized;
:a firm conviction on the part of all
the children that they had the best
mother and the best home in the
world; manly boys, and womanly girls,
all desiring to help mother in any way
they could; a loving deference to the
words of father and mother, and a
happy union in the family life."
Rev. H. C. Hengel, Ph. D.
of Madison,oWls., in one of the Uni;
.cent talks to the students of the Uni-,
versity tells them of the futility of
:serving humanffy without God.
We read in the Gospel that Jesus
occasionally visited the home of Mary.

" am glad to see that many of
those who are ably defending these
principles of govermnent are the gen-
tlemen of a lay Catholic Body. It is
you gentlemen of this great Christian
group who have a most important
mission to ,carry on. It is your type
of men wlo are the best friends of
our form of government, of our Con-
stitution. America looks to you to
safeguard it, because their are many
people who under the guise of re-
ligious fervor and false doctrines seek

who labored so zealously to the end
that there should be established just{
ice, liberty and freedom.

"The Reverend Fathers of ours,
here, ;ill recall how the Apostle Paul
would go to Jerusalem every seven
years and would enter the temple to
find out if He had departed from the
Lord. From that idea I take it that
it would be well for us also to occa-
sionally like this great Apostle, go to
the temple and ask if we had not also
departed from the Lord, from his
justice, his mercy, his liberty: This
temple that I ask you to go to is the
temple of God and man, the temple
of liberty, the temple of nquiry for
guidance concerninour past and our
future conduct. There is a great wave
of false teachings, a wave heralded by
men and women, against• the Christian
God. It is only, I say, und readily re-
peat, that by dedicating and rededi-
eating our lives, our work, our
thoughts and our acts to His princi-
ples that we can justly hope to per-

I cherish in our Christian America. I

CincinnaA, O., July 6.--Monmffnoz
Francis W, Howard, secretary-general
of the Catholic Educational Associa-
tion, which held its annual convention
here last week, presented to the'dele-
gates a report which has attracted at-
tention even beyond Catholic circles.
Dr. Howard declared that Catholic ed-
ucation is not only the hpe of the
Church but the solid hope of the
country.
Dr. Howard in his report said in
part:
"That education is profoundly af-
fected, if, in fact, its conditions be not
determined, by the prevailing indus-
trial system, is a truth accepted at
the present day. The production of
goods for the market has become ap-
parently the dominant interest of hue
inanity. The 15olitics and stateemen-
ship of the day deal with no other
ubJect to which the same importance
is given.
"Under the system of collective
ownership of property which has be-
come universal through the system of
modern corpoTate ownership of indu
try private property has to a gtmt
extent disappeared and we are pam
ing through the condition of t
regulation and control of tdustry into
the regime of some form of economic
communism. The modern family out-
side of the Catholic Church has '
very great extent broken down, as
any One familiar with the statistics am
divorce knows, and the modern state,
which has more nearly reached the
term of the'development toward which
it logically tends in Russia than in
any other country, exercises an ab-
normal control over the life and des-
tiny of the child.
"Under these circumstances, we
may with good reason look upon
Catholic educaon as not only the
hope of the Church but as the solid
hope of the country. If, the family life
in America is to be preserved it can
be preserved only through the influ-
ence of the Catholic principle of mar-
riage. The Catholic family depends on
the Catholic •school and the Catholic
barish life.
Catholic educational work, wa are not
only making neble, sacrifices for a"
great cause, but wa are, discharging
a duty of the highes patriotic value.
There is no office of patriotism in
American life today so deserving of
support and of commendation as the
work of maintaining in its integrity of
system and of principle the establish2
ment of'Catholic education, which is
now the pride of Catholic people iand
the fruit of their sacrifice."
