Contributed to the JOURNAL. But we are not going to imitate the family of the foolish girl in shed- ding tears, weeping and lamenting over an impossible situation.' So, let us see what there is to this principle of private judgment. I do not think you ever really analysed and exam- ined it as a think-for-oneself-lady or gentleman should,. In the first place, it has no war- ranty, but has its type in Babel. You have no doubt read of Bable and the confusion of tongues—for you read the Bible, Well, those foolish and benighted people in their private judg- ment thought to build a tower reach- ing into heaven. You .remember, their private judgment deceived them and was the cause of great confusion. The fallen angels, acting upon the principle of private judgment, doubted the empire of God and questioned His sovereignty and thus buried them- selves in ruin,- degradation and ever- lasting misery. Our first parents, in their private judgment, thought they would "beeome like nnto God,"if they only ate the forbidden fruit. The world yet groans under the evil con- sequences]of that judgment. Private judgment Rejected our Blessed Lord and condemned him to a most painful and ignominious death. No sin or crime has ever been cdmmitted on any other than the principle of private judgment., whatever the m tive that prompted it. That it is a ridiculous, deceptive, misleading and dangerous principle has been shown thousands, nay millions, of times! Yet, you speak of private judgment as evi- dence of good sense and enlighten- ment. I say it is ridiculous and deceptive, because it wtikes everybody right and everybody else wrong! To illustrate: Suppose"the case of a man who has worked for you for the stipulated sum of $ 2 . 0 0 a d a y f o r t w o days, and his private j u d g m e n t t e l l s thim t h a t y o u owe him $5.00, while . your private judgment tells you you owe him only $3.00. If he has a right. to his pri- vate judgment, and the question is to decided on .that principle, he has a right to $4,00. If you have a right to your private judgment,you are jus- tified in refusing to gi^e him more than $3.00. You see, therefore, how ridiculous is this so-calljed principle. The individual or Catholic judgment, that goes out of itself fi)r the princi- ple that "two and two make four," solves the case without difficulty, and in justice to both sides. Private judgment is deceptive, again, be- cause, while it sounds like something, it cannot affirm the correctness of its own conclusions. But you may argue that their correctness can be deter- mined by an appeal to some standard. When you appeal to a standard, you abandon private judgment. We are talking about private judgment, re- member, This judgment you Protest- ants bring into religion and exercise it on questions of divine revelation. The ridiculous results of which are shown in the multiplicity of jarring and contradictory sects, beliefs and creeds among you, constituting a genuine Babel. How ridiculous the fact that among your most intelligent minis- ters,asthe S u n d a y s c o m e a n d g o , s o m e are vigorously proclaiming as true or necessary for salvation what others with no less vigor, denounce as false, superstitious or damnable doctrine. And the ladies and gentlemen' going home "from church " like of old in Ba- bel indulge their little private judg- ments: "I don't believe as the min- ister does on that subject, and the superintendent of Sunday school, Mr. Lathrop, hp doesn't believe so either." "But I think his idea is perfectly out- landish," etc. etc. You .claim a right to private judgment, and of course, grant the Same right to others. There- fore yon must say: "The fallen an- gels were! right in the exercise of their private judgment against God. Yon must endorse the sin of disobe- dience of ,our first parents begotten in private judgment. You must acknowl- edge fellowship with the Jews who Judged oijir Lord unjustly, rejected and condemned Him on your vaunted principle of private judgment Thus ryou s e e h o w i t i s a misleading princi- j>le.

Bascbm sees in the contests ove compulsory education the occa- sion and demand for a change of pol- icy n publioschools. jEspeciaily has theie been an inclination toward com- puh(§ry attendance foj- primary in- struction. Ijtat if any education is in any degree to be comtpnlsory, it be- cam^3 necessary, si nee private schools and |ublic schools exis|t side by sid^, to d|fine notmerely th| amount of at- tetic fince required, but also the sort of iEStrustiort that shall accompany.it. Mpkhow carefully this is put: "Tie public is interested in a certain kihc|?and meastjre of knowledge and not |n the external performancaof an act. | If, therefore, thej public pre- pares to insist Dn education under its own^definitioii, even in a limited de- gret| the private schoo s, which are widely displacing the public schools, musi stand in some recognized organ- ic ^IJation to them. We have hitherto partially accepted this connection in one ['direction, bnt we have steadily over poked i t i n another f\ (p,t is to say the State has ac- cent sd the education given in paro- cbia schools/as equal in excellence to that in the Stale schools, at the samo time it has not recognized our schopls in the distribution of State mon^y. | I'tyi writer continues:!

Mr. Bast com [thinks "all instruction which is accepted in lje« of publje instruction shal h a v e t h e s a m e r i g h t s as public instruction.'*! He says further: ; "''Hose whb are adequately educa- ting their children under the inspec- tion [of the State should not be called on t o b e a r e x a c t l y t h e s a m e b u r d e n a S if ttey were in neglect of the duty^ orjt<» render this duty twice over— onpe in a way conceded by the State and once in a way ordered by it." . iA i matters stand now!, we are comi pelhd to pay^ double taxes.

Could his thoughts have taken words, they would have been something like these: " Is] It. possible there is some- thing, in religion, aft-jr all ?

Presently he arose and, thrusting bis bands deep into his trousers' pocket 3, paced up and down the sitting room. By-and-by be spied Tom's little praper book. He picked it up and mechanically turned over the leaves. His eye paused at length up- on the "Hail Mi-ry." He read it over several times and then said aloud: " The first part [ have read in one of the Gospels in the Protestant Bible. It certainly 5s true. The Angel Ga- briel said 'Hail tf ary.' She certainly was 'blessed anong women,' and cer- tainly if the fabric of Christianity be anything nore than, a myth, 'blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Je sus.' If the doctrine of intercession of the blessed departed in the next world for the ht ppiness of those still on this earth be true, what more nat- ural than for thd troubled heart to ex- claim ' Holy A ary, Mother of God, pray for us sinnBra. now and at the hour = of our death 1 } If any one being of homan origin can ° have any influence with the Son of God, it must be she who was his hu- man mother, I must admit the Cath- olic religion, is i satisfying and con- soling one, even if it be a false one."

Private *nd Catholic Judgment.—The F o r m e f M i s l e a d i n g a n d D a n g e r o u s .

Contributed to the JOURNAL.

But we are not going to imitate the family of the foolish girl in shed­ding tears, weeping and lamenting over an impossible situation.' So, let us see what there is to this principle of private judgment . I do not think you ever really analysed and exam­ined it as a think-for-oneself-lady or gentleman should,.

In the first place, it has no war­ranty, but has its type in Babel. You have no doubt read of Bable and the confusion of tongues—for you read the Bible, Well, those foolish and benighted people in their private judg­ment thought to build a tower reach­ing into heaven. You .remember, their private judgment deceived them and was the cause of grea t confusion. The fallen angels, act ing upon the principle of private judgment, doubted the empire of God and questioned His sovereignty and thus buried them­selves in ruin,- degradation and ever­lasting misery. Our first parents, in their private judgment, thought they would "beeome like nnto God,"if they only ate the forbidden fruit. The world yet groans under the evil con-sequences]of tha t judgment . Private judgment Rejected our Blessed Lord and condemned him to a most painful and ignominious death. No sin or crime has ever been cdmmitted on any other than the principle of private

judgment., w h a t e v e r t h e m t i v e t h a t

prompted it. That it is a ridiculous, deceptive, misleading and dangerous principle has been shown thousands, nay millions, of times! Yet, you speak of private judgment as evi­dence of good sense and enlighten­ment. •

I say it is ridiculous and deceptive, because it wtikes everybody right and everybody else wrong! To i l lustrate: Suppose"the case of a man who has w o r k e d f o r y o u f o r t h e s t i p u l a t e d s u m

o f $ 2 . 0 0 a d a y for t w o d a y s , a n d his

p r i v a t e j u d g m e n t t e l l s thim t h a t y o u

owe him $5.00, while . your private judgment tells you you owe him only $3.00. If he has a r ight . to his pri­vate judgment, and the question is to decided on .that principle, he has a right to $4,00. If you have a r ight to your private judgment,you are jus­tified in refusing to gi^e him more than $3.00. You see, therefore, how ridiculous is this so-calljed principle. The individual or Catholic judgment, tha t goes out of itself fi)r the princi­ple tha t " two and two make four," solves the case without difficulty, and in just ice to both sides. Private judgment is deceptive, again, be­cause, while it sounds like something, it cannot affirm the correctness of its own conclusions. But you may argue that their correctness can be deter­mined by an appeal to some standard. When you appeal to a standard, you abandon private judgment. We are ta lking about private judgment, re­member, This judgment you Protest­ants bring into religion and exercise it on questions of divine revelation.

The ridiculous results of which are shown in the multiplicity of jar r ing and contradictory sects, beliefs and creeds among you, constituting a genuine Babel.

How ridiculous the fact that among your most intelligent minis-t e r s , a s t h e S u n d a y s c o m e a n d g o , s o m e

are vigorously proclaiming as true or n e c e s s a r y f o r s a l v a t i o n w h a t o t h e r s

with no less vigor, denounce as false, s u p e r s t i t i o u s o r d a m n a b l e d o c t r i n e .

And the ladies and gentlemen' going home "from church " like of old in Ba­bel indulge their little private judg­ments: " I don't believe as the min­ister does on that subject, and the superintendent of Sunday school, Mr. L a t h r o p , h p d o e s n ' t b e l i e v e s o e i t h e r . "

"But I think his idea is perfectly out­landish," etc. etc. You .claim a right to private judgment, and of course, grant the Same right to others. There­fore yon must say: "The fallen an­gels were! right in the exercise of their private judgment against God. Yon must endorse the sin of disobe­dience of ,our first parents begotten in private judgment. You must acknowl­edge fellowship with the Jews who

Judged oijir L o r d u n j u s t l y , r e j e c t e d and condemned Him on your vaunted principle of private judgment Thus

educationa! matters ip worth some thirj!', and his testimony has some weight on the matter he deals within hie <Forum article, "AjNew Policy for P»ul lie Schools."

ii'x. Bascbm sees in the contests ove compulsory education the occa­sion and demand for a change of pol­icy n publioschools. jEspeciaily has theie been an inclination toward com-puh(§ry at tendance foj- primary in­struction. Ijtat if any education is in any degree to be comtpnlsory, it be-cam^3 necessary, si nee private schools and |ub l i c schools exis|t side by sid^, to d|fine no tmere ly t h | amount of at-tetic fince required, but also the sort of iEStrustiort that shall accompany.it .

M p k h o w carefully this is pu t : " T i e public is interested in a certain

kihc|?and meastjre of knowledge and not |n the external performancaof an act. | If, therefore, thej public pre­pares to insist Dn education under its own^definitioii, even in a limited de-gret| the private schoo s, which are widely displacing the public schools, musi stand in some recognized organ­ic ^IJation to them. We have hitherto partially accepted this connection in one ['direction, bnt we have steadily o v e r p o k e d i t i n a n o t h e r

f\ (p,t is to say the State has ac­cent sd the education given in paro-cbia schools/as equal in excellence to that in the Stale schools, at the samo time it has not recognized our schopls in the distribution of S ta te mon^y. |

Mp. Bascom saye the public policy was bearable^ when parochial schools wexe few and; religious principles did not ejnter intOjthe.discusaiion; but now that religious instruction is disclaimed in thja State schools, wh|le the paro­chial! schools b a k e such instruction a p l e a ; t o r t h e i r e x i s t e n c e , a n d p a r o ^ c h { a i s c h o o l . t r a i n i n g - is" a c c e p t e d i n

lieu pi public instruction, such policy^ becomes glar ing injustice. Mr. Bast com [thinks "all instruction which is accepted in lje« of publje instruction s h a l h a v e t h e s a m e r i g h t s a s p u b l i c

instruction.'*! He says further: ; "''Hose whb are adequately educa­

ting their children under the inspec­tion [of the State should not be called o n t o b e a r e x a c t l y t h e s a m e b u r d e n a S

if t tey were in neglect of the duty^ orjt<» render this duty twice over— onpe in a way conceded by the State and once in a way ordered by it." .

iA i matters stand now!, we are comi pelhd to pay^ double taxes. The State! take at our mioiiey to support its own s c ^ l s , atthfe same time compelling us; t>. build, equip and maintain oui ov(rn schools 4 t our own expense. Ai the i^me time, the State)concedes* oui schools are: j schools apd furnish mf stru'btion equal to, and in some inl s tances superior, to tha t given in Sfat? schoojfli

Mr. BasCo^n. ihinks the injustice of the present pbllicy bas been concealed because bitii|rto parochjial or private; schools have been estjablished and m>ii|tamed b|y the welltto-do as the outcome of a class feelibg. |
