Cardinal Vaughan on Whitechapel
District.

'Then you are hopeful for the future
of the Whitechapel district?'
Certainly I am replied his emf
nence. when / remember what it was
forty years ago, why should 1 not be
hopeful?"
The cardinals optimism is contagious
No one can talk with him and not share
his confidence in the outcome of the
work that is now being done in the
slums of London. I'VE must not ex-
pect miracles" he continued. 1--WE
must simply labor on each day, content
with the slightest improvement. More
and more we hope to get the working
people out of the slums. 1t is almost
impossible to help them as long as ten
or twelve people sleep, cook and eat
in two small rooms. Often they are
only cellars, where men, women and
children are forced to sleep in one bedl
The air is foul, they have little food
and in winter, when the fogs settle
down over London, they are cold and
miserable. They must go to the public
house for comfort; that is always
warm and bright, and for two or three
cents. they can buy enough drink to
make them forget their miseries. Would
we be any better, my child, had we
been forced to live in such surround
inest" And the divine charity of
Christ illumined the beautiful face of
the cardinal Even in the slums we
must not think that all are bad. In
spite of their awful poverty the Cath
oIics nave kent their faith, and among
them we often find very noble men and
women. In the worst parts of London
there is always much to make us have
home for the future. re.'-Donahoe's

The Irreverent Rush.

Painfully irritating at times is the
conduct of some Catholics in the dis
charge Of their religious duties. Nor
is II a matter of surprise that pastors
feel called uIfon to scoid concerning
them. The wonder is that they man
age to contain themselves so admirably
under the circumstances. For in many
cases these individuals show less re-
spect in the house of God than do WIS.,
iting Catholics.
AS an example of the class to which
we refer might be cited those WHO
sweep past the holy water font with
out deigning even to notice it. The
one-legged prayer crowd in the rear
who cling around the confessional
boxes during Mass, but are rarely ever
seen there at any other time through
out the year The stiff-knee and weak
back class who never genuflect and
never kneel erect The self-opinion-
ated people. who. when seated, assume
nositions between stage pose and a
barroom lounge. Presumably they
know the mass by heart, fer rosary or
PRAYER book is never seen in their
hands. 1t would not do, however, to
question them.
such persons, it is hoped, are never
taken as devotional typen of the real
Catholic. To say the lea of them in
charity they are a strar &c set. But,
bad as they are, they arc better than
those v,hoS constitute the irreyerent

Not Guilty of SUPERSTITION.

If we pray before some object or go
to certain place because we feel that
our prayers will be more effectual there
than elsewhere, we certainly are not
guilty of superstition, for we attribute
the special efficacy of our petitions to
the appointment of God. Among our
separated brethren the same idea is
practiced. 1t is not common for per-
sons to think that they can pray with
more devotion in a certain part of the
house or in one meeting house rather
than in another? And yet who says
that such one is superstitious? He
goes there because he feels that in that
place he prays better, and consequently
his prayers are better heard, and not
because the walls of the building will
bring down a blessing on his prayers.
Surely this is not superstition. In the
same manner, some people go to hear
one preacher rather than another,
though in reality he is not more elo-.
quent, but because they feel that his
words will go more to their hearts and
that they will receive more consolation.
Would any one say that this was at
tributing some individual virtue to a
man? 1t loses the character of super
stition when we remember that it
pleases God to make that person an
instrument of his work.-Rev. John F.
Mullany, LII. D., in October Donahoe's.

While some workmen were sinking a

to the surface, too late, unluckily, to
save his life.

Unique Feature of a New Convent.

A roof garden for the benefit of the
nuns of the Order of the Holy Ghost
is. one of the features of their new con-
vent, which was recently dedicated in
Dubuque. The retreat is located in a
unique spot, removed from the gaze of
those of the world. Every day the Sis
ters, whose lives are devoted to higher
education, repair thither to practice
their devotion and to view a magnifi
cent stretch of country with the Mis-
sissippi river in the foreground.
On the four sides of the garden
climbing flowers from a perfect screen
and southern plains beautify the cor
ners. The Sisters spend much time
in study there.
The Sisters of the Holy Ghost are
progressive. The idea of having roof
garden for the exercise and recreation
of the members is original with them,
and since its advantages have become
known, converts in st. Paul and other
places have ordered their architects to
include the innovation in their plans.
Another feature of the convent is the
provision made for sick members. The
infirmary is located near the convent
chapel and whenever one of the nuns
is sick her bed is pushed forth into
unique little porch and there above the
celebrant she may assist at the mass.
