A Loss to the Cause

Rev. Thomas Scully, who was known
throughout the country as a temper
ance advocate, died recently.
Father Scully was about 67 years old
and a native of Ireland. He was or
dained to the priesthood in Boston,
and having volunteered his services in
the rebellion was appointed to the
chaplaincy of the famous Ninth Mas
sachusetts regiment by Bishop Fitz-
patrick. He served in that capacity
for three years, in which time he was
twice made prisoner, and told many
interesting stories of his capture, i'm
prisonment and escape.
Father Scully then became pastor of
a church in Maiden, Mass. and was
shortly after transferred to Cambridge
port, celebrating mass for the first
time in the then unfinished church
building on Sunday. June 8, 1867.

Editor to Become a Priest.

Albany, Sept 13.-One of the sur
prises of the week was the retirement
of Joseph A. Farrell from the manage
ment of the Times Union, the success
sion by ex-Congressman Martin H.
Glynn, and the entrance of Mr.. Farrell
into the Jesuit college at Emmetsburg,
Md.
Mr.. Farrell was educated at St.
Johns college, Fordham, and it is be-
lieved that his early training at this
college instilled into him the desire to
become a priest.
Mr.. Farrell was born in Albany
twenty-six years. ago, the third son of
John Henry Farrell. When his father
died in February, 1891, he assumed
charge of his fathers paper, the
Times Union, taking into partnership
Mr.. Glynn, who had been connected
with the paper in an editorial capacity
about four years. The property is
valued at $3.50, 900.
Mr. Farrell has considered the step
he took for some time, and his intimate
friends were not surprised.

The Church and the Poor.

A series of extremely interesting pa
pers. contributed to the Boston Repub-
lie by Archbishop Ryan on Christian
Civilization" deserve publication in
permanent form. They are well worthy
I of study and preservation. In the lat
est of the series at hand, his grace
| dwells on the relationship of the Cath
olic church to the development of the
spirit of practical humanity, and the
debt which modern civilizatio owes
to her influence in that direction. We
quote from the archbishop's article:
In the last three centuries Protest
ants have done noble work in the cause
of benevolence, and have done it from
high motives of Christian charity. But
look at the fifteen centuries that pre-
ceded the reformation especially at
the times of transition from pagan to
Christian civilization. Who was it
that bore the brunt of the persecution
OF ancient paganism? Who was it that
fought the battle in defense of helpless
childhood and feeble women, and suf-
fering prisoners? Who was the monk
that faced the gladiators in the coli
scum, and by his death abolished glad
itorial contests? And who now makes
most sacrifice for suffering humanity?
But let us hear one who cannot be sus-
pected of any partiality to the Catholic
church. Speaking of the effects of the
discipline of that church on civil So
ciety, and especially in relation to the
poor and to the oppressed, Mr.. Lecky,
in his History of Rationalism in Eu
rope vol. ,, p. 81, says: BY consolidat-
ing the Heterogeneous and anarchial ele-
ments that succeeded the downfall of
the Roman empire; by infusing into
ChriStendom the conception of a bond
of hot ic 70 +I,a ixric
of nationhood, and of a moral tie
which is superior to force by softening
slavery into serfdom, and preparing the
way for the ultimate emancipation of
labor. Catholicism laid the very foun-
dation of modern civilization. That
church, which often seemed so naughty
and overbearing in its dealings with
kings. and mobiles, never failed to listen
to the poor and to the oppressed, and
for many centuries their protection was
the foremost of all the objects of its
DOlicV"

The World,s Greatest ohoir.

Russia boasts of the worlds greatest
choir. 1t is in the Cathedral of Alex
ander Nevski in st. Petersburg, and is
attached to a convent erected in honor
of the patron saint in Russia. Its men,
bers are all monks chosen from the
best voices in all the Russian mon
asteries. When fine singer appears
among the novitiates, he is sent to the
monastery of Alexander Nevski, where
he is trained as carefully as an opera
singer and remains there. doing moth
ing except assisting at the music at
mass in the morning and vespers in
the afternoon until he becomes aged,
when he retires on a pension. Some of
the voices are of marvellous strength
and sweetness, and it is said that some
members of the choir can shatter a
thin glass into fragments by singing
into it, so powerful are the vibrations
of their tones. The monks are all veg
etarians. They never eat meat. The
rules of the church forbid them to
shave, and their hair is worn like
gregationalist.

American to Succeed Spanish Priests.

Philadelphia, Sept .1S-An important
step toward the solution of the trou-
bles in the Philippine islands caused by
the presence of the Spanish friars
there was taken today at Villa Nova
college, when the Most Rev. Thomas
Rodriguez, o. S. A, of Rome, prior
general of the Augustinian order
throughout the world, announced that
Rev. Daniel o. O'Mahoney of Andover,
Mass, and Rev. J. E. McFarlane of
Villa Nova had been ordered to the
Philippines as pioneers in the move
ment of American priests to those ISL
ands to succeed the Spaniards. The
two priests will leave for Manila with
in the next two weeks. and will be
followed in short time, it is believed,
by several other American Augustin-
ians. Both clergymen chosen are dis
tinguished and able members of the
order They were selected from among
about a dozen volunteers who offered
their services to the prior general in
case he needed American Augustinians
for the Philippines. Many of the
Spanish friars in the Philippines be-
long to the order.

Desecrated For Sake of Science.


That most unreliable modern thing,

that the Italian government will util-

cannot be found. But thereby hangs
a kind of desecration; for Monte della

marked with the holy marks of the
Lord Jesus He came down from
that mountain, after his st. Michael's
lent, bearing in himself the form of
Jesus Crucified. His hands and his
feet and his side were pierced-pierced
by Him who first was pierced. The
heads of the nails were seen in the
palms of his hands and on the insteps
of his feet, and the points came out on
the backs of his hands and the soles
of his feet. And in his right side
there was a long, raw and bleeding
wound, as though he had been pierced
with a spear. Verify, he was changed
into the likeness of Christ Jesus cruci-

Rt Rev. Msgr. Bernard O'Reilly, the
historian, celebrated on Sept. IS the
6Oth anniversary of his ordination. The
little church of St Marys, in Yonkers,
y. Y, which was the field of the aged
priests first work in America, was the
scene of an event which has no paral-
led in Catholic church annals in this
country
Unlike the celebration of his golden
jubilee, ten years ago, which took place
in St. Patrick's cathedral, New York
City was attended by elaborate cere-
monials, the services on Thursday were
simple owing to the reverend prelate's
advanced years.
Msgr. O'Reilly was born in county
Mayo, Ireland, September %, 1876. He
went to Quebec in 1882, and, ten years
later, was graduated with high hon
ors from Laval university.
In 1919. Msgr O'Reilly followed the
tde Of emigration, and came to New
York and entered the Jesuit order.
For several years he taught in St
johns college, Fodham. When the war

% Hughes as chaplain of the Sixty
ninth regiment, was present, at the first
battle of BuA Run, was captured and
enormously reported killed. While in
rance, as prOcuratOr for the missions
of his order, he was employed in dip
lomauc service by President Lincoln.
after which he toured the continent
lecturing and writing to remove the
prejudice existing against the union
cause.
Msgr O'ReiIy left the Jesuit order
in 1853 and became a secular priest;
and, in 1876, he was made monsignor.
He was father confessor to Emperor
Napoleon III, and godfather of the
young king of Spain, whom he often
carried about on his shoulders.
At his golden jubilee in 1892 he was
honored by the promotion to be pro-
thonotary apostolic. As historian to
Pope Leo XIII, .Msgr. O'Reilly ranks
high among literary ecclesiastics, and
his fame as a literary worker is firmly
established by his research in the
fields Of art, church and social history.
