TIlEINTERPRETATIONOF HISTORY.

Wesooftenseehistorycastinourteeth,as antagonistictoCatholicteaching,thatitmay beworthwhiletoexaminethepretensionsof history,or,moreproperly,theinterpretation putuponit.Therearetworeflectionsin particularwhichoughttobepresenttothe studentwhenheuseshistoryasaweapon againsttheChurchandwewilljustbriefly suggestthem-fortherehavebeennumerous examples,quitelately,ofaverywildinterpretationofhistory.
