Finally,FatherWilhelmSchmidt, S.V.D.,oneofthegreatestlivingethnologists,saidrecentlyinhislecture "TheSoulofthePrimitive,"delivered :ntheAulaMagnaoftheSapienza, Rome:

HowSocialismErrs

CatholicSocialMovementinGermany RELATIONSBETWEEN

CatholicsocialmovementsinpostwarGermanyweredealtwithinan interestinglectureinUniversityCollege,Dublin,byProfessorHermann Platz,oftheUniversityofBonn.

Alargegatheringofprofessorsand students(reportsthe"StandaIrd")were inthelecturetheatre.ThePresident oftheCollege(DrCoffey)occupied thechair.

ProfessorPlatzsaid.asaGerman Catholic,hecouldneverforgetwhat theApattolicrealoffarmerIrisn monksbaddoneintheevangelisingof hisowncountry.DanielO'Connell, too,wasanamehehimselfhadheald ringinginhisearsfromboyho.xl.

ManyGermans,discouragedbydefeat,followingamoodofpessimism andnationalself-depreciation,sought spiritualreliefinthecultureofthe East.Butnowallthatwaspastand gone.Thecreativepoweroftha\Vest wasnotgone;Europe'sstarhadnot yetset.

Inproofofthat,ProfessorPlatz pointedtotheastoundingrevivalof Ireland,andalsototheunbrckenwill ofhisowncountry,nottobeoverwhelmedbytheforceofdestruction. No;Christianreligion,idealisticart, science,andcitizenshipintheWest werenotstrickenwithdecay,andhad notenteredonaphaseofinevitable decline.

Thefutureandtheindestriottelity oftheChristiancivilisationdepended uponthesolidarityandtheco-operationofallthenationsoftheWest.If post-warGermanymaintainedherconnectionwithWesterncivilisation,it wasmainly'duetotheworkofthe stronglyorganisedCatholics.

Inspiteofmanypolitical,economic andreligiousdivisionsintherealm, theCatholicRhineland,Silesia,'and Prussiaheldtogether,buttheother halfoftheEmpire,andthewholeof thesouthformeda"looseaggregate" willingandreadyonlyintimesof greatcrisestothinkandactasmembersofanation.

Bavaria,alwaysresentfulofhersubordinationtoPrussia,becametheseat ofviolenttenison.However,inaGermanywherethecentreofgravitywas movedtotheLefttheCatholicsbecame,bytheirfirmandyetaccommodatingdoctrine,bytheirorganised powerandtheirwillofco-operation, animportantfactor.

ThespiritoftheGermanRepublic, asembodiedintheWeimarConstitution,securedtheacceptanceofsome ofitsdecisivefeaturesbyCatholiccooperation,principallyastotherelationsbetweentheChurchandthe Stateregardingpublicschoolsandsocialmatters.

Again,thecontrastofmentalityof thepoliticalandsocialpursuitsofthe peasantseastoftheElbe,andthe workingmenwestofthesameriver. theoneprotectionist,theotherfreetrader,whichhadcreatedanalmost insurmountabledifficulty,hadbeen conciliatedtoacertainextentbythe faithanddoctrineofsolidarityprofessedbytheCentreParty.

ProfessorPlatzproceededtorefute theMarxiandoctrinethat,"wealthis theproductoflabour,"andshowed howthusChristiantrado-unionism weakenedthefierceantagonismbetweencapitalismandsocialism.CatholicsandProtestants,hecontinued, workedtogethertomakearealityof Christianidealism,andtoobtaina bettersocialpositionfortheworking 7Iasses. Specialprovisionforreligious instructionwasmadeforthemembers ofCatholicworkmen'sclubs.

TheprogrammeandpolicyofChristiantradeunionismwere:(1)Therejectionofclasswarfareasapanacea forindustrialills;(2)theoptimistic evolutionistconvictionthateducationalimprovementofcitizenshipwas theconditionfortheorganicincrease oftheirunions;(3)thepracticalcooperationofChristiansineconomic questionsagainstSocialisticandCommunisticpropagandaandhostility.

TheysawChristiantradeunionism wasaprogressiveevolutionary,butnot arevolutoinaryforce.Itwasadis-

andlifeofChrist,thattheywereevidentlypartoftheoriginalwritings.

Dealingwiththeimportantsubject oftheteachingofreligiousinstruction intheschool,ProfessorPlatzdrewan interestingpictureofCatholicschool organisaiton.Schoolandchurch,he pointedout,mustbetheirprimeconcern.Dr.Marx,theex-Chancellor, foundedtheCatholicSchoolAssociation.Thereview,"Home,School, Church,"thespecialorganoftheorganisation,hadacirculationof100,000 copies.

Theyouthmovementwasamoral rejuvenationoftheGermansoul,the returnoftheGermansoultoitsbest traditions.Themovementwasareatcionagainstcommercialism,materialism,andtheidolsofpowerand wealth.

Concluding,ProfessorPlatzasserted thatowingtotheCatholicreligious effectsofworld-wideapostolate,the convictionwasspreadingthattruth wasnotonlyoninternallyandindividually,butanuniversallyworking force.

OwingtotheCatholicpoliticaland socialefforts,theconvictionwas spreadingthatpeaceandjusticewere notonlyindividualideas,butpermeatingconstructiveideas,pursuableand practicablethroughouttheworld.

Finally,citizensmustbeefficientnot onlyinindividualability,inanonymousworkorpersonalmysticism,but alsoindeedsofenlightenedcomprehensionanduniversalinterdependence ofcharity.

RationalisticCriticsofGospels

THEEYE-WITNESSES.

ThehistoricaltruthoftheGospels andrationalisticobjectionstothem formedthesubjectofthefinallecture ofthetheologicalseriesbytheRev. J.Hannon,S.J.,intheUniversityCollege,Dubdin,lastmonth.

Therationalistcriticsofto-day,said FatherHannon,admittednotonlythe genuinenessofthesynopticGospels, buttheirhistoricalcredibilityalso. Neverthelesstheydrewthelineatthe supernatural-andfornootherreason thantheaprioristicprejudicethatthe supernaturalwasimpossible.

Forthatreasonwhentheyfound themselvesfacedwithnarrativesof miracles,whichhadalltheappearance oftruesupernaturalevents,they soughtbyeverymeansintheirpower toexplainthemaway,andbywayof solutionproposedascertainties,unscientifichypotheses.Theresultswere the"fraud"theory,the"natural"theoryandthe"legend"theory.

Thesenarrativesofmiraclescould notpossiblybeinterpolations,Father Hannoncontinued.Theywereso interwovenwiththetext,andformed sosubstantialapartoftheteaching

Moreover,theGospelrecordsofmiraclesboreinthemselvesthroughoutan historicalcharacter.Theypresented themselveswithanastonishingsobrietyandsimplicitywhichwould neverbefoundinthereportsoffantasticlegends.

Theaccountsthemselves,too,goback toabsolutelyreliablewitnesses.MatthewandJohnwereeye-witnessesof mostofthefactstheyrelated.Mark andLukewereforyearsassociated withtheapostlesanddisciplesand werethusthebestqualifiedearwitnessesofthedetailsofOurLord'slife.

Moreover,theEvangelistswroteat atimewhentheyweresuroundedwith peoplewhomJesushadreleasedfrom distress,sicknessanddeath,andthus wroteincircumstancesinwhichdeceptionwasimpossible.Andthisvery deceptionbecamemoreimpossiblestill beforetheenemiesofChrist,towhose interestsitwouldhavebeentoreject thesestories,iftheywerelegendary.

Finally,therecordswerehanded downunderthestrictestsupervision. Theywerechronicledinthelifetimeof eye-witnesses,theywerereadthroughouttheworldfromthebeginningas sacredwritings,andpreservedwith meritoriouscare.Andthemanuscriptevidenceoftheirsubstantialintegrity,whichwepossessedto-day,was greaterandmoreanicentthanwas possessedforanyoftheancientclassics,concerningthehistoricaltruthof whichnoreasonabledoubtwasneverthelessentertained.
