CARD FROM BISHOP MATz.
THE PASSION PLAY.

Already there are numerous indica-
tions that the influx of visitors to
Oberammergau for next years Passion
Play will far surpass all previous pill
grimages. From all parts Of Europe
and America, and especially from
France, numerous letters have reached
the priest and village authorities, ask
ing for information. 1t is now def
nitely settled that the first representa-
ton will be on May 20, and that the
last will be at the end of September
There will be twenty eight perform
ances in all Next month the roles will
be allotted, and the rehearsals will be
started Immediately afterward. 1t is
certain that Herr Josef Meyer will not
take the part of Christ. His advancing
age and increasing inf1nities are the
cause of this. At next years perform
ances an attempt will be made to add
dignity to the musical portion of the

be thirty-three choristers. The large
new iron theatre, which will be en-
tirely covered in, and lighted by long
narrow windows, is being rapidly pro-
ceeded with. The stage will be in the
open air. The auditorium will be JAS
feet long and will accommodate 1000
spectators. Two further improvements
are also announced. There will be an
office established for the purpose of
assigning visitors suitable lodgings,
and the tedious two hours drive to the
village from the railway will be abol-
ished, as well-equipped electric motor
cars will take visitors from Oberau in
half an hour. Needless to say, the
villagers do not like these departures !
They say it will detract from the devo-
tional attitude which all visitors to the
are supposed to assume.

RELIGIOUS CARE OF ITALIANS.

our bright contemporary, the Catholic
Citizen, is doing splendid work in call
ing attention to the unfortunate con
dition, in which, from a religious point
of view, the Italians of the United
States are living
The Italian people with rare ex-
ceptions, are, according to the facts
and figures adduced by the Citizen. in
state little better than Paganism. A
careful perusal of the Citizens article
carries conviction and the facts appear
TO be conclusive, in so far as the con-
dltlon described are concerned.
The Citizen proposes to have it's pre-
sentation of the case brought so vfvidlv
before the Roman authorities that as
result the Propaganda will take di-
rect action looking toward the spiritual
oettermeut of the Italians in the United
States. All who are cognizant of the
Facts presented by the Citizen will hone
and pray for the contamination of its
object That the Citizen has adopted
wise course is open to. some question
For our own part we do not think it
'iiS''1 any Douy VI CdtnOllcS
living in the United States should be
remotely or proximately under the
Of the Propaganda to the
exclusion of the American Episcopate.
The Citizens attitude is likely to give
some consolation to those who favor a
policy which the Bishops and Priests of
this country emphatically repudiated
If, however, it be the desire of the
Citizen to better the spiritual status of
the Italians through the jurisdiction of
the American hierarchy, its course in
to Rome is obvious, but not
necessary.
In Utah and Colorado there are sew
sral colonies of Italians. In the former |
state they are under the direct minis
-ration of Bishop Seaman, who acts as |
heir pastor, fulfilling pastoral duties |
himself and giving them all the spir-
tual care-indeed, in our opinion far
more than they could hope for from
native Italian priests, such as the Citi-
zen would have sent to this country.
In Colorado the Italians are well
AIRED for by Bishop Matz, who takes
IN especial interest in providing priests
apable of ministering to them in their
Iwn tongue.
That the results obtained from the
Italian missions in these parts may not
e all desire, is clearly not due to lack

can check the growing divorce evil in
the Protestant churches of the land;
that remedy is spiritual, religious and
moral, and not civil or legal. There is
no divorce evil in the Catholic church,
whose. members are thoroughly imbued
with the knowledge and faith that mar
riage is sacrament; that it is con-
tracted not fer time, but for eternity.
What a commentary, indeed, it is on
Bishop Potter that secular agencies
have called his attention to the real
causes Of divorce and the only remedy
therefor. Even the New York World,
not noted for it's high moral aspira-
tons, reads the following lesson to the
Protestant Episcopal bishop of New
York
The Episcopal church IN adopting its
new canon may simplify the situation.
But the clergy and the bishops will not
prevent divorces in the future. or pre-
vent the marriage of divorced persons,
unless they shall begin at the begin
ming: shall gather the young men and
the young women into their churches
and preach to them the religion of
Jesus; shall show them the beauties of
a perfect home life; shall explain to
them the sanctity of the marriage vow;
shall make them understand that mar
Iiage is indeed sanctioned in heaven
and that those who would we'd must
consider carefully, conscientiously,
faithfully and fearessly the step they
are about to take-be sure that they
are Tight-and thus make happy and
contented home and remove all chance
of divorce or separation
That is the right way to begin the
work

IRELAND AND
BISHOP SPALDING.

Last week two of the most prominent
ehurchmen in the church in America
delivered notable addresses in the CITY
OF Chicago. On Monday evening Bishop
Spalding was the orator at the thirtieth
convocation Of the University of Chi
cage. on Saturday evening Archbishop
Ireland delivered an address at the
Marquette Club. in the presence Of a
gathering of noted Republicans.
These two addresses were remarkable
in their way, and if the American peo-
pie viii weigh each carefully. the inev-
liable conclusion will force itself upon
them that the Catholic Church en-
braces within Itself men whose beliefs
on public questions are as wide as the
poles.
The address of Bishop SnaIding was
of very high order Of excellence. The
learned Bishop of Peoria: was at his
best. from an oratorical point of view.
while the subject matter of his address
was fully equal to his best productions
The reception which was accorded the
scholarly Bishop was notable in MANY
ways, but the most remarkable in the
wild enthusiasm which greeted his
guarded utterances against the inner
ialistic policy of the present admins
tration. Bishop Spalding's audience
was composed of scholars and repre-
sentative men of the entire West. If
was not so far as he knew, an audi
ence predisposed to accept his views
without question, but the manner in
which they were received clearly shows
that the scholarly Bishop was both
master Of his audience and his subject |
as well.
Bishop Spalding chose for his sub |
ject, THE University and the Teacher"
The key note Of his address was con-
tanned in the following;
A university is not so much a nlaca
where all the faculties are represented.
where all knowledge is impaired. where
original research is prosecuted. where
men are prepared for the various nro-
fessions which minister to human
needs, as a place where great minds
and generous hearts and noble souls are
gathered TO bring their wisdom their,
love and their faith to bear upo1 the
young to develop and raise their whole
being toward the ideal of right life. of
perfect manhood. The whole question
of educational reform and progress is
simply question of employing good
and removing incompetent teachers
And they who have experience hest
know how extremely difficult this is.
II a university, at least, it should be

POETRY IN EDUCATION.
(Communicated.)

1t is high time that we all began to
consider the value of poetry as an edu-
cational element. In our matter of fact
age many consider poetry to be waste
Of time. and even the intellectual and
reflective only dimly realize its ad-
vantages. 1t is true that a kind of
moral merit is imputed to the learn
ing of hymns, but the hymns usually
| found in selections for children show
how little their true power is appre-
| hended. For there seems to be an
idea that poetry for children must be
written especially for them; while, in
fact. such poetry is almost useless. A
writer once began his Tales of a
Grandfather, he used language he
thought most suitable for the compre-
hension of children; but he soon found
out his mistake, and with the humil-
ity of true genius, acknowledged in his
preface that children, equally with
adults must be addressed in words far
above those of ordinary conversation.
Trying TO understand is our highest in
telectual attitude. Why should chill
dren be deprived of Il mental position
which is the very element of growth?
1t is hard work to be romantic, hard
work to realize as they deserve the
daily miracles of nature. Not so with
children. They live in d wonder land
All beyond their limited experience is
full of mystery. is vast, beautiful or
terrible, as their imagination, as yet
free from the dominion of the senses,
is clear, keen and effective This is the
time, then, in which to fill its cham
bers with pictures of beauty and purity. |
When a child is I or~S years old it is |
not too young to hang there. Take any
little lad of s years old and read to him |
some little ballad and watch how his !
eyes viii kindle and his cheeks glow. |
1t may be asked if the natural bent of
a child's mind is toward the wonderful, !
the mysterious and the romantic, why
it should he necessary to encourage it?
Because, if the Imagination faculty is
not exercised in a healthy way, it will
exercise itself very likely in wrong
direction. So then, it is we'll to edu-
cate and direct the imagination of chill
youth, when the senses begin to inf1u-
ence it, there Will be far less danger of
It's seduction. Children appreciate po-
etry which they cannot comprehend.
They enjoy the mark and music of reg
llar metre. An object half in mystery
ills them with thoughts and aspirations
hey cannot explain, but which is Just

Not the least important aspect of this
subject is the power it might be made /

THURSDAY October IL, 1899,
TIME FOR CATHOLICS TO ACT.
ESTABLISHED 1899.
No. 2.

The war department on the 9Th inst
asked the International Young Mems
Christian association committee t.
place an association secretary upor
each of the transports soon to sail tc
Manila. Congress failed to make any
provision for additional chaplains to
accompany the new troops about to be
sent out, and there are in Manila to
care spiritually for the $4,000 troops al
ready there, scarcely a half dozen
chaplains. The association, it is said,
will make every effort to comply with
the governments request.
But what of the Catholics in Ma
Mia? Is no provision to be made for
them? or the $4,000 troops now in the
Philippines perhaps 40 per cent are
Catholic or Of Catholic parentage. The
government, of course, will not ask
for volunteers from the Catholic priest
hood to. minister TO the Catholic SOL
dier, and the volunteers that will go
from the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation win find no more need for their
services than the average army chap
lain, whose principal duty consists in
drawing his salary and looking wise.
OF the thirty-two chaplains in the
United States army, only one is Cath
Ole, while it is said the majority of
the soldiers are Catholic. Neither tne
recent Democratic nor the Republican
administrations have appointed chap
lains with a view to the spiritual needs
Of the army, but political grounds sole
" have received consideration.
Catholic soldiers have been shame
fully neglected. Protestant chaplains
cannot minister to their spiritual needs
and such ministrations are entirely in
acceptable. Notwithstanding this fact.
the authorities. who have been fully
cognizant of it, have persisted in salts
flying political obligations and bowed
before the politicians, who, in the name /
Of religion, have paid their political
debts to the Methodists, to the Bap-
lists, Episcopalians. etc, at the cost Of
the rights of Catholic soldiers.
Heretofore chaplains have always
been paid. The action of the war de-
partment. however. in appealing to- the
Young Mems Christian association to
furnish chaplains gratis to the troops
in Manila opens up new condition
which we are sure Catholics will meet
as generously and as promptly as have
the non-Catholics of the Young Mems
Christian association.
The Intermountain Catholic calls
attention of the bishops of the coun-
try to the condition of Our troops now
in Manila, and to the attitude of our
government thereto. We suggest
that call for volunteers from the
priesthood be made, and the Inter
mountain Catholic will guarantee
$500 towards the expense of support
ing any priest who will be sent to j
to our troops without pay.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The editor would be greatly obliged
to all correspondents of this paper if

an exception may be made and that is
when the supply runs short, but ordin-
