 softens them  with  love  and  restores  them  to  society good citizens. Here are  the  things  of  Caesar  and of God,  of  Church  and  State;  and  the  mistakes  of  the State are  as  many  as  the  times  she  refused  God's Church  the  things  that  are  hers. The Church  had, in the  Old  World,  proved  her  ability  to  abolish  slavery without a  blow,  but  the  State  robbed  her  of  that privilege here,  with  a  consequent  sacrifice  of  innumerable lives. The State  is  vainly  grappling  with  Socialism, a  monster  the  Church  kept  at  bay  eighteen hundred years  by  laws  of  charity  and  conscience  and the doctrine  of  a  hereafter. The country  is  crying out against  lynch  law,  and  the  State  is  powerless  to prevent  it;  but  when  the  Church  was  given  the  things that are  hers,  the  shivering  victim  found  a  safe  refuge in the  sanctuary.

The Church is  the  only  body  to-day  that  takes  a  determined stand  against  these  evils. She is  as  ready  to shed  her  blood  now  for  her  rights  and  God's  as  were her brave  sons  in  the  hour  of  the  nation's  need. With the  gentle  devotedness  of  her  consecrated daughters on  the  battlefield  and  in  the  hospital,  she
