Time, widely-circulated news-maga- zine, says.Senator Trammell is not a statesman but a politician; that he mor- tally hates the Roman pope; that about him there is a certain dull pomposity, un- relieved by humor; that he is no orator and only an average legislator, but that what s in brilliance he makes up in local 1 acumen, and believe me, eset that’s what counts. Alttorney General Cummings has ruled that a nation that has paid a token to Uncle Sam toward the war debt is not to be considered in default. While this is probably a just decision, it does give de- faulting nations a wide lee way by permit- ting them to make a small payment and thus avoid coming ander the exactions of the Johnson law, which requires that no nation nor its nationals may _re- ceive financial aid from America or Amer- icans. If the token payments could be made definite and substantial, there may possibly be no quarrel with the attorney general's interpretation of this particular law. KEY WEST MOURNS Twice within the short period of six} weeks death has taken from Key West two | lovable characters. Both members of the | Jesuit order. Rev. William Power and} Rev. F. X. Dougherty. The former passed ; away on March 28. The latter last Friday | | night. Rev. Power had lived a life of the} sjovelist Writes of Crucifixion and Subsequent | greatest usefulness in his ~capacity as a Christian and as a teacher. He had passed the meridian of a glorious career and at the age of 81,11 years beyond the allotted three score years and ten, went out to that spiritual reward which is the promised goal of all who live according to His teachings. Rev. Dougherty was just a few months past the age of 45. His career as a teacher had been a brilliant one, and as such he had received recognition from his superiors that are given few men at his age. As priest and man, he was loved by all who knew him. devoted to teaching boys and young men, and that he had fulfilled his sphere of activity to the fullest, is evidenced by the brilliant scholars who have gone out into the world from Catholic institutions in the states, fitted to take up the battles of life through the teachings of this eminent pre- ceptor. In Key West he was loved by all who were fortunate enough to know him. Not only by the boys of the church and the congregation of St. Mary’s, but by every- one, Catholic and Protestant, with whom he had come in contact. 1 And no more substantial evidence of i love and esteem could be given any man than was given yesterday by the throng of * friends and admirers that formed the cor- tege going from the church to the railroad station. The procession was led by a military guard of sailors, under the command of Boatswain L. P. Toolin, from the Coast juard Cutter Saukee, followed by the car of Rev. A. L. Maureau, S. J., and Rev. J.

And having chosen a new apostle, named to replace the wicked Judas, they wandered.into all cou: telling the People of Christ’s Life and Death—and of His Cruci- fixion and Resurrection—and of the Lessons He taught—and baptizing them in Christ’s name, | through the power He ‘had given them they healed sick, and gave sight to the Blind, and speech to the ; and Hearing to the Deaf, as he had done. And, Peter be- ing thrown into Prison, was delivered from i of night by an angel: and once, his caused a man named Ananias, and his wife Sapphira, who had told a lie, to be struck down dead, upon the Earth. Wherever they went, they were persecuted and cruelly treated; and one man named Saul who had held the clothes of some barbarous persons who pelted one of theChristians named Stephen, to death with stones, was always active in doing them harm. But God turned Saul’s heart after- wards; for as he was travelling to Damascus to find out some Christians who were there, and drag them to prison, there shone about him a great light from Heaven; a voice cried, “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me!” and he was struck down from his horse, by an invisible hand, in sight of all the guards and soldiers who were riding with him. When they raised him, they found that he was blind; and so he remained for three days, neither eating nor drink- ing, until one of the Christians (sent to him by an angel for that purpose). restored his sight in the name of Jesus altar boys, men and boys of the parish, women and girls of the parish and hun- dreds of others, who had felt the beautiful influence of Rev. Dougherty while he was: living and had assembled to pay a ilast tribute to him, dead. In the throng, which was one of the largest ever attending a like ceremony, were people from every walk of life. Amer- ieans, Cubans and Negroes who waited un- til the train bearing the body of their be- loved friend moved away from the scene of his last earthly endeavors, which will | always remain a better one because of his benign influence. i CHURCH COUNCILS The first ecumenical (general or uni- versal) council of the Christian church was called by the Emperor Constantine at Nice, in Asia Minor, in the year 325, for the pur- pose of defining the Christian faith and dealing with the alleged heresy of Arius of Alexandria and his followers. i Arius ‘contended that there is a dif- ference between the Father and Son, mak- ing the latter secondary. The ortho v Ma’ stirs; Mit Me tworare all respects equal. Little is known of the proceedings of |. the Council except that they were marked by bitter controversies among the bishops present, finally resulting in the adoption of the Nicene Creed, Sustaining the orthodox opinion by a decisive vote. Other ecumenical councils were held from time to time, usually for the purpose of dealing with heresy and schism, or for further deciding matters of faith and dis- cipline. Twenty such councils are recog- nized by the Catholic chureh, while Pro- testant charches recognize the authority of only the first four, the Church of Eng- land the first five and the Greek charch | the first seven. Decisions of ecumenical | councils were supposed to have been guided | by the Holy Ghost and hence infallible. The last general council of the Catho- lie church in 1870 decreed the infallibility | of the Pope in matters of faith and morals, when speaking ex cathedra, which decree | seems to render any further councils for | such"purposes unnecessary for that church. } It is not possible to be well without ! health, nor it is possible to be happy with- out virtue.

After which, he became a Christian, and preached, and taught, and believed, with the apostles, and did great service. 7 EY took the name of Christians from Our Saviour Christ, and carried Crosses as their sign, because upon a Cross He had suffered Death. The Religions that were then in the world were false and brutal, and encouraged men to violence. Beasts, and even men, were killed in the Churches, in the belief that the smell of their blood was pleasant to the Gods—there were supposed to be a great many Gods—and many most. cruel and disgusting ceremo=' nies prevailed. Yet, for all this, and though the Christian Religion was such a true, and kind, and good one, the., Priests of the old Religions long persuaded the people to, do all possible hurt to the Christians; and Christians were’ hanged,’ beheaded, burnt, buried alive, and devoured in Theatres by Wild Beasts for the public amusement, during’ many years. though; for they knew that if they did their duty, they would go to Heaven. So thousands upon thousands of Christians sprung up and taught the people and were cruelly killed, and were succeeded by other Christians, un- til the Religion gradually became the great Religion of the World.

AY 8, 1984 “ee Manuscript Kept Secret 85 Years “The Ascension,” by Gebhardt, a reproduction of the great painting in the National Galery, RREMEMBER !—It is Christianity to do Good, always— even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbour as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them Do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, - merciful, and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them, or of our prayers, or of our love of God, but always to shew that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may con- fidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mis- takes, and enable us to live and die in Peace.
