Byreasonofthesethingsithascome toberecognisedasagreatandinfluentialforceincivicandreligiousaffairs. But,nevertheless,itsoutstandingcharacteristicisthatoffraternity.

Fraternityisitsdailytask.To gathertogethermenofCatholicfaith inonestrongbrotherhoodisitschief reasonforexercise.

Thequestionfrequentlypresentsitself-T-"Isthereadefiniteneed,inthese moderntimes,foranexclusivelyCatholicFraternity?"Itisafarcry fromthosedaysintheeightieswhen theKnightsofColumbuswasestablished.Timeshaveindeedchanged.In thosedaysopportunitiesforrecreation anddevelopmentweredecidedlylimited.

ACatholicfraternalorganisationis ofmorevaluetoaCatholicmanthana similarorganisationwhichknowsnoreligiouslines.True,allCatholicmen arebandedtogetherbytheircommon membershipintheoneChurch.Then, too,allCatholicmenworthyofthe namehaveacontactwitheachother byreasonofmembershipinparishsocieties.Theaveragemanstillyearns formaterialcompanionshipandcontactwiththoseofhiskind.

ButfortheCatholicmanthereis alwaysonethingthatisofsupreme importance-thesalvationofhissoul. Toinsurethis,hemuststayclosetohis Church.

Inaworldlyfraternity,inasociety wheremenareofallreligiousbeliefs, thereisnothingtostrengthenone's faith,ortoencourageoneinthepracticeofhisreligion.

ENGLANDWAITSANDWATCHES.

(Es'yS.P.G.)

TheAmericanexperimentofprohitrition-strIlexperimental-hasbeen studiedinEnglandwithridiculeand disgustbythosewholiketheirlittle dropofdrink(ormorethanthat)and withaweandadmirationbysocialreformersandtemperanceadvocateswho believe,withoutsufficientevidenceperhaps,thatapeoplecanbemade righteous.byactsofParliament,For thepastyearortwotherehasbeenan intensivepropagandabytemperance societiesofanextremetypetocreate apublicopinioninfavouroftotalprohibitioninGreatBritain.

Mr.Carter,whoistheleadingtemperanceadvocateinEngland,hasmade severalrecenttripstoAmericaandreturnedeachtimewithincreasingskepticismastotheresultsofprohibition inthatcountry.Asanidealcondition hewouldliketoseeallalcoholabolishedinGreatBritain.buthissocial studiesintheUnitedStateshavediscouragedhimbecauseofsuchlawless results.Therefore,asMr.Carterrepresentsthedryestfactiononthegovernmentcommission,itisobviousthat prohibitionhasbeenruledoutoftheir futurerecommendations.

Thismayseemasetbacktothecause ofsocialprogressinminds,likethat ofHenryFord,whoregard"booze"as theworstenemyofmankind,causing wasteofefficiencyamongworkersof allclasses,apartfromothermoralevils. Butasfar'asEnglandisconcerned,it mustbeadmitted-thefactsandfiguresareundeniable-thatwithoutprohibitionontheAmericanplantheEnglishpeoplearebjcomingremarkably sober.AtarecentdinnerPhilip Snowden,ChancelloroftheExchequer, admittedthatinestimatingfornext year'sbudget,hewouldbeconsiderablyembarrassedowingtolossofrevenuefromwinesandspirits,aloss,as heobserved,whichhasothercompensations.
