Some time ago, we took ocoasiion to warn nur youth a^aiD8t a mont peruicious seot of Atheists, or, as they are sometimes called. Free-thinkers. Their tenets aim at the de- struction of the moral and sociat instincts of our noble nature, in setting asido the idea of Ood our Creator. There is little hope of the eonversion of an Apostate Catholic who bad the inestimable advantage of receiving the lij^ht of Faith and the most Ijlessed Sacra- ments of Christ. The sin of denying' the ex- istence of God, and the Redemptif>n of man- kind by His Divine Son, is too enormous in one enlightened by the grace of the Holy Spirit. St. Paul says of them, " For it is impossible for those who were onue enlighten- ed, have tasted also the heav»;nly gitt, and were made partakers of the Hily Ghost ; have moreover tasted the ;(ood word of God and the powers of the world to come, and are fallen away, to be renewed again to peuani!e,<.iriu!ifyiii!i;a^';iin tn themselves the Son of God and making him u iiiockiiiy." (Hob, vi., 4, ftu.) W.' may Hay .livi with Christ our Lfird that "the last stHti- ol that man is worse than the first." (M:itl. xii., 45.) Human pride in this case, likf the sin of thti angels who rebelled againil <;od in Paradise, is enormous, and the unfortunate apostates, imitating those demons, arc too proud to re pent or to ask pardon of God. Hcnco their conversion is so difficult, nay alinoHt miponHi- blc. WF WRITK NOT FOK THUM Imt to warn others against the dangers of reading infidel books, or attending lectures, or keeping the company «>f aposiates and infidels. We say with St. .fohii, " Whoso- ever revolteth, and continueth not ni the doctrine of Christ hath nut God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the F'atherand the Son. If . iiy man come to you and bring not this dooti iue, receive him not into the house, nor say ti' hirii God speed you." (li. John, i., 9. 10.) Modern iuHdeli- ty iw worse than thf olrl paa;anism, and re- (^uireis a greater amount (it In: lisli pride .sinoe it has the auda(jity to raise itwelf up against an infinitely good God, whom the very bar- barians acknowledge and revHieiice in sy li.iil •) liii'Tdtiirn or •'vil i!iiiii|MiiiiMiN, aKeiitH 'il tin* inf'TiiftI Mpiii'.H, \vl»o |iiirvnrt<'«1 Him nt'i'c imiki- ri'Tit .'Hni I'diirKliii'; liriri.

But, then a^ain, they arc not to be pardoned. For if they were able to know so much, as to make a judgment of the world: how (lid they not more easily find out the Lord thereof? (Wisdom xiii., 1, 9.)
