Catholic body He calls attention to
the singular paucity of bequests for
orphans in last wills. Very few of
those who make them will remember
the charities of the diocese when Civ
ing their instructions for the DISPOSE
ton of their estates. The exceeding
fewneSs Of those who leave anything TO
those charities has been to Bishop
Horstmann a matter of painful Won
der. ana so he truly reminds those
concerned that lit is a bad will which
does not make Almighty God one of
the heirs, and therefore too frequently
disputes have arisen concerning such
wills, with a result that often the law
yers have gotten most of the estate.
The best rule is to do good with your
wealth during your lifetime. Make
friends to yourselves of this Mammon,
and thus send them before you to plead
your cause before your Divine Judge,
Catholics make a very unfavorabie
showing in this matter, when con-
trasted with people who have not the
blessed privilege of being Catholics.
Let one but look at the list of be-
quests in any of the great daily pa
pers and see how paltry are the sums
donated for Catholic charities as COM
pared with the munificent bequests for
other institutions This may be as
much the result of mere carelessness or
forgetfulness on the part of testators
as anything else. 1t is a foolish habit

Priest ct the Bed of Pestilence.

A short time ago the daily papers
commented on the heroism of a Cath
olic priest, the Rev. r. Burke of St.
! Columbia's church, Buffalo, N. Y,
stricken down by smallpox while min
! istering to dying victim of the dread
! disease, and of the Rev. Francis May,
a Capuchin monk of Yonkers, n. Y,
for receiving into the church and ad-
ministering extreme unction to poor
woman, dying in the smallpox ward of
the City hospital, that city. 1t seems
strange to Catholics that such matter
Of course devotion to duty should at
tract so much attention. The marvel
to US would be if priest failed to
brave the terrors of smallpox or any
other contagious disease in the spirit
ual service of his people. The priest at
the bed of pestilence, however, seems
to have been the cause of the CONVEX
sion of the poor Protestant woman in
the Yonkers hospital, and his prompt
response to her call and subsequent
administration of the sacraments were
noted with the deepest interest by the
Rev. Epiphanius Wilson, Protestant
clergyman, suffering from smallpox in
the same nstitution.-Catholic Regis

Catholics Protest Against Blasphemy

Brooklyn, Sept. 29-Catholics to the
number of 10000, most of whom are
members of the Holy Name society,"
participated in the great rally yester-
day to protest against blasphemy
There were in reality fifteen separate
parades, but the movement was spoken
of as one demonsra ton, to publicly
manifest veneration of Gods name.
Fifteen churches in the diocese were
designated as central rallying points.
and the different Darades were in
streets in the district in which the raj
lying church was located. Bishop Nc
Donnell reviewed the parade in his dis
trict and heartily sanctioned this great
protest against blasphemy, which is
held annually under the supervision of
Vicar General P. ]. Mcnamara. The
vicar general, as part of the demon
stration, delivered an address in the
Pro- Cathedral. Mention of the rally
was made in all the churches in Brook
lyn yesterday morning, and the men in
the various parishes were invited to
join in the demonstration.
In a letter sent by Vicar General Nc
Namara to pastors. which was read in
all the churches yesterday, Monsignor
Mcnamara said:
1T is hoped that the demonstration
this year will, more than ever before
by its magnitude, make an abiding
impression upon the minds and hearts
of Catholics and nom Catholics alike.
and that the lively faith and united
prayers of those who take part will.
under heaven, accomplish the most
important results in stemming the tide
of blasphemy and promoting veneration
of the HOLY Name -

A Catholic Old Home Week.

The Catholic Columbian gives this in
teresting account of a Catholic "OId
Home Week in Ohio-a state which
once bade fair to rival Massachusetts
as a stronghold of Puritanisrr. but
which is now a great Catholic center:
Somerset was the mecca of the exiled
sons and daughters of Perry county
last week, when the hospitality of the
town was extended to several hundred
visitors, all gathered to observe "Old
Home Week" to see old friends. and to
recall the happy memories of early
days. Among the distinguished guests
were General M. Y. Sheridan, a native
of the place. accompanied by Mrs. Sher-
idan; Judge Burkett of the supreme
court, Colonel Lew Green, and others.
IT was a grand reunion and one never
to be forgotten by the participants. AS
guests of the town, the visitors were
entertained and treated royalty. The
relic room in the town hall was an at
tractive spot to all. Here was exhib-
tied souvenirs of the early days of
Perry county, so rich in Catholic MEM
uries and traditions. The chalice used

ty at the home Of Mr.. Finck, one of
the first settlers, besides many inter

One of the historic spots of the coun-

days supplied water to the settlers for
miles around, and about which there

SAINT feature of the gathering was the
erection of a tablet at the spring, ap-
propriately inscribed, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Joseph Simpson, of Column
bus, who delivered an address and read
an original poem commemorative of the
event.
In the evening everybody gathered at
the town hall, where "reminiscences or
the early history Of the county were
given. Mr.. Henry c. Filler of Colum-
bus, read a highly interesting paper on
the first days of the settlement, and
the narrative was continued by Colonel
Lew Green, later arrival. The Very
Rev. d. J. Kennedy Q. p, of st. Jo-
seph's gave a splendid talk on the
Catholic history of the famous county.
The celebration was in every way
happy and inspiring, and its mem6ry
win long remain with the sons and
daughters of old Perry

CATHOLIC EDUCATION.
Financially and Morally It Helps the
Nation.


In an address delivered at Chicago
at the recent convention of Catholic
educators, z. F. Dunno said: Il am
not a teacher in a Catholic school
or university, and I have never been.
have never been engaged in further
ing the cause of Catholic education in
any way, but / am glad to avail my
self of the opportunity Of meeting so
many eminent men engaged in fur
thering the cause of education in
Catholic schools, colleges and uni
Tersities of the United States, and of
expressing, as an American citizen, my
admiration and high appreciation of
the splendid work they are doing, both
for the youth of the land and the Re-
public at large"
After discussing the way in which
these schools are relieving the state
of an expense amounting to millions
of dollars annually and assuming
the burden upon their own shoulders,
the speaker (and he is reported in
eXtenso in Donahoes September issue)
added:
1T is not from financial standpoint
alone that Catholic education is doing
inestimable service to the state: it is
doing service of a higher, broader and
nobler character in that it is incul-
eating among the youth of the coun-
try morality as well as education, and
the morality which is enunciated in
the religion of Jesus Christ Even
men who profess no religion, and who
deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, con-
cede that as a code of morals the
Christian religion is probably the most
perfect on earth. An education which
is addressed to the intellect and not
to the conscience, which tends to de-
velop the mind and neglects the soul
is incomplete and imperfect. No edu-
cation can be completely successful
which does not appeal to the con-
science as well as to the intellect The
morality of Plato may be good, but
the morality of Christ is better. The
education and development of the in
tellect, accompanied by starvation of
the soul, will inevitably result in Gre
ating a nation regardless of moral
right and engage it in unjustifiable
conquest, and devote its citizens to
ferocious struggle for individual ag-
grandizement. An education which
eliminates morality will make its citi-
zens selfish and grasping, and ulti-
mately lead the nation from lofty
ideals into paths of oppression and
uniuStifiable wars -

Attending Vespers.

Away back in the days when the
church was young, one of the most
beautiful services of the new religion
was the singing of psalms in the even
ing. Work then was over, all the
trouble and worry of the day were for
gotten for awhile and the people went
to the places set apart for honoring
God and there sang the ancient songs
of Israel. Today we still have that an
cent custom. Every Sunday after
noon or evening our churches are
opened for the chanting of the holy
hymns and Cor the final benediction of
Christ. But although the service is so
beautiful, although the scenes recalled
by the psalms are SO sacred, so time
hailowed, yet unfortunately too few
attend the closing religious service of
the day consecrated to the Lord. In
the morning we have the summoning of
Christ to dwell again under the form
of the sacred elements among men
and the morning services are well at
tended; but in the evening when Christ
as il were is present to bid farewell 10
his people, too many refuse to be pres
ent with him IN his churches. Probably
this is due TO carelessness. proha hlv
also to the lack Of that sincere interest
and love that were characteristic of the
primitive Christians; but now that at-
Iention has been called to the beautiful
evening service, certainly attendance
at II should increase. Then Sunday is

of some people in far-off Roumania, he
might bring his powerful intellect to

entrance to the northerly mouths of the
Orinoco river in Venezuela. That little

is such, the English have impudently

international burglary was made on an
other part Of Venezuela, and we re-

under the influence Of his pro-British
secretary of state that he will tamely
allow it to take by force today the prey

is right. Mr.. Roosevelt allowed Mr..

The Syrian Rite.

Mass was said by Syrian priest ac-
cording to the Syrian rite at ST. Leo's
church, Tacoma, last Sunday morning.
There are quite number of Syrians in
that city, and whenever priest visits
them, he generally says mass for them
at st. Leo's. The people of this parish
are becoming familiar with this man
ner of celebrating mass, which is no
longer novelty While the parts
which precede and follow the consecra-
tion are different from the Latin rite,
still the time of the conservation can
be easily told, for what is essential is
the same as in the Latin rite.-Catholic
