‘*We call drunkenness a brutalizing vice. Precisely so. And men brutalized by intem- perance, and their children brutalized by its hereditary and its evil example, must first be Lumenized before they can be christianized. Civisize first and then christianize, or rather civilize in the very process of chriatianizing.

‘“Sucramenta prepter homines is a theologi- cal maxim—the sacraments are for the sake of men. Give yourself men, then, say the advo- cates of the temperance movement, that the sacraments may avail them, The more manly —that is to say, the more sober, intelligent, conscious of human dignity, and self-reapect- ing your people are, the better use they will m*ke of the sacraments. Before regeneration comes generation ; men were before the sac- raments. Their native virtues and excellences were bestowed upon them by God, that the sacramental life might the more readily elevate them to union with the Deity. Exactly io proportion to the manhood of a people will the sacraments woik a divine work among them.

** Now comes the horrible truth. In all the cities of the Union a large proportion of these wretches (drunkards) are Catholics, To deny this is a great weakness; it is folly to try to conceal 1%. Mr. Powderly ought to know whether the working classes are given to ex- cessive drink, andat the last convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Unionof America he affirmed that nine out of ten of the supporters of the saloov are working men—the very class which forms nearly the whole of our Catholic community. In many cities, big and little, we have something like a monoply of the bus- iness of selling liquor, and in not a few some- thing equivalent to a monoply of getting drunk. Scarcely a Catholic family among us but mourns one or other of its members os a victim of intemperance. This is lamentable. I hate to acknowledge it. But the conceal- ment of such a deadly thing by us eliminates the most necessary element from the discus- sion—namely, the facts of the case. This would be far worse than petty vanity; for Catholics to refuse to face this fact is to with- draw, defeated, from the controversy with the rum power. It would be a public and an of- ficial lie to conceal such a fact. The Catholic Church in America is grievously injured by drunkeness, Yet who will say that the sacra- ments have not been duly administered, the word of God—on the routine lines, at any rate—faithfully preached right in the very communities referred to? Yet from Catholic domiciles—iniscalled homes—in those cities and towns three-fourths of the public paupers creep annually to the almshouses, and more than half the ciiminals snatched away by the police to prison are, by baptism and training, members of our Church. Can anyone deny this? Orcan anyone deny that the identity of nominal Cath- olicity and pauperism existing in our chief centres of population is owing to the drunkenness of Catholics? And can anyone

on the north side of Hillsboro Square. fyjjon the administration of “the sacraments 4 deny that this has been the horrible truth for

something like thirty-five years, or ever since the Father Matthew movement began to wane? Yet no one will affirm that the cause is a lack of churches and priests, ora want of any of the supernatural aids of religion. This detestible vice has been a veritable beast in the vineyatd of the Lord, making its iair in the very precinct of the buildings containing the confessional andthe altar. . Whether it be the christening of the infant or the burial of the dead, the attendance at the or- dinary Sunday Mass, or the celebrating of such feasts as Chritmas and New Year's and St. Patrick’s Day, the weakness and the de- gradation of our people have yoked religion and love of country and kindred, the two most eievated sentiments of our nature, to the chariot of the god Gambrinus and the god Bacchus, whose wheels crush down iato hell a thousand-fold more victims than ever perished uncer the wheels of J rnaut,

‘*The regular administration of the aids of religion to a population defective of so essen- tial a natural virtue as restraint from exces- sive use of drink, is like scattering good seed upon the matted sod of the unbroken prairie, or rather upon the ash heaps of the foundry dump. To attack the vice of drunkenness from an entirely supernatural point of de- parture is to begin with the beginning. In- temperance is primarily a sin against nature, and the resources of natural virtue should be first called upon to vanquish it. A man should be sober whether he believes in God or not. To overcome drunkenness, the only faith a man need have is belief that he is a reasonable being ; the only hope he need have is one for a tolerable existence in this life ; the only charity, self-love. Experience and obser- vation prove that these lowest of even the natural reasons for sobriety succeed in reform- ing multitudes of drunkards of every creed. Drunkenness, therefore, is a vice to assail which the priest must go out of the sanctuory, if he aol make his apostolate integral ; and to make it successful, he must associate with him persons and things not entitled to stand in any holier place than the sanctuaries of pure and upright nature, a happy home and a well ordered state. * * * In every case the attitude of the priest, although it can never lose its supernatural force, must in addition take on the natural. As a fellow-man of the drunkard he must appeal to him ; as an equal citizen of the civil community must he antag- onize the saloon-keeper, and all this both in | public and private.

‘**T am not ordained a priest to keep a laundry; but if a class of my people are too dirty to go to church, I must set to work to get them cleaned—unless I am a mere eccle- siastical official. So with the casein hand, I ain no policeman, but if a class of my people are going to hell through the Sunday back entrance of the corner saloon, I must at once set about becoming more than a policeman; ae rate I must be so to the keeper of that saloon.”

1 submit, Mr. Editor, that whatever one may tnink of the Scott Act, what I have quoted goes to show that Father Strubbe spoke merely for himself and not at all for the Church, when he declared that catho- lics had no use for the Scott Act, and re- lied entirely upon the sacraments and other supernatural means, in combating the vice of intemperance ; but with your per- mission I shall, in your next issue, give further extracts of perhaps more striking application. Meanwhile, I subscribe my- self
