During the present month the pro-
gram of the celebrations in honor of
the Jubilee of the Immaculate Concep-
tion will be published here in Rome
under the auspices of the commission
which has already been established to
make the necessary arrangements.
Three of the cardinals of the Roman
Curia are at the head of this, Vincen-
20 Vannuetlli, Ferrata and Wives,
while the detail work has been appro-
priately entrusted to the Circle of the
Immaculate, which has been in exist.
ence for nearly half a century. The
first part of the program is to con-
sist of the appointment of committees
throughout the world, the organization
of pilgrimages to the Eternal City, the
execution and diffusion of a "cantata'
of the Immaculate Conception COM
posed by the great Maestro Perosi, the
formation of a Marian library for
works dealing with the Mother of
God especially in relation to the dog
ma; a preparation of the statistics of
the institutions existing in honor of
Our Lady under this title. the organi.
zation of a universal Marian congress
to be held in Rome, an exposition of
Marianart in Rome, collection of the
best poems composed in honor of the
Blessed Virgin, and the publication of
special periodicals to bring out all the
significance of the great event.
The. second part of the program has
special reference to Rome, and con.
sists of a series of missions for the
people, particular organization of
preparation for first communions, re.
treats for members of the different
Catholic associations, a special religi.
Gus service for the Sth of every month
in the year in the basilica of st. Mary
Major-the chief church in Christen-
dom, decidated to Our Lady. On De
cember 8. 1904, the fiftieth anniversary
of the Solemn Definition of the I'm
maculate Conception, there will be a
magnificent function in the presence
of the Holy Father in st. Peters,
where the dogma was defined, at
which all the Catholic associations of
the Eternal City will be represented; !;
similar function in ST. Mary Majors
without, of course, the presence of
the Pope. On the same day there will
be a solemn reception in the Vatican,
at which the people of Rome will offer
the Holy Father a magnificent ring.
and out at San Lorenzo a Solemn Re
QUEEN will be offered for the repose of
the soul of Plus IX.-the Pope of the
Immaculate Conception.

it maintains discipline among its own

said at present is that the people OF
this country generally are much bet
ter disposed than they were at an
earlier date to submit to a church
which demands obedience. The self
assertive habit of personal independ
ence in every relation of life has been
greatly weakened, and promises to
organized life, where the individual
continually counts for less and the or.
ganization for more.

PROTESTANT OPINION.

The following extracts are from an
article in the Booklovers' Magazine on
What Form Shall Christianity UIti.
mately Take in This Country?" which
is worthy of consideration by Catho
lies as well as Protestants:
The growth of the Roman church in
the United States is one of the most
striking facts in history. What makes
it all the more noteworthy is its unex.
pectedness. The unexpected is what
has happened. That a new country.
openly sworn to the principle of per.
sonal liberty, should have proved to be
the most favorable ground on earth for
the growth of a church openly sworn
TO the principle of authority, is surely
a noteworthy thing. 1t is probably
true that during the nineteenth cen.
tury the actual gain in the Roman
church in numbers, wealth, influence
and prestige has been greater in the
United States than in all the rest of
the world together And the gain is
not only or chiefly in the particulars
mentioned: she has gained in the non.
ular good will-or at least favorable
prepossession-and she has conouered
respect.
The attitude of the average Protest.
ant toward that church today is a yeru
interesting study. He looks at her
with mingled feeling of admiration
dlstrust, envy and fear. He is about
equally prepared, upon cause being
shown, to become her active enemy or
her submissive servant. Which nosi
tlon he will ultimately take remains to
be seen. There are some things which
make it likely that it will be seen
probably, before the middle of tbis
century. These things we shall notice
later on. At present those who look
upon her most favorabIy are that large
ana very influential class of men
whose antecedents were Protestant
put whose actual connection with the
Protestant churches is little more than
nominal. They know enough of PROT.
estantlsm to make them alive to it.,
Iaults, and they know just enough of
fomanlsm TO make them admire IFS,
e&cellences. These men care little for
tne theological and ecclesiastical
questions which separate Rome and
frotestantism. But they admire eff
ciency and hate slovenliness of meth.
cd. They are legislators, city officials
railroad men, editors, managers OF
large business interests. Whenever
their dealings bring them in contact
with a Roman Catholic institution

PRIEST ON AMBULANcEs.

In the future priests desiring to ad-
minister the last sacraments to in
jured people will be allowed to ride
with patients in the ambulances of
Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, New
York.
The order was issued as the result
of an ambulance surgeons treatment
of the Right Rev. Mgr. John Edwards,
of the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception at the First Avenue fire three
weeks ago, in which Fireman William
McNally lost his life. The surgeon, in
his desire to give the wounded fire
man medical attention, refused to al
low Mgr. Edwards to attend the in
jured man, and also declined to allow
him to ride to the hospital in an am
bulance.
Mgr. Edwards brought the matter to
the attention of the hospital authori-
ties. with the result that the rule an
nounced above was passed by the
board of trustees.

END OF THE coNcoRDAT.

Rome. May 21.-The news which has
most interest at the present moment
in Rome is that which comes from
France. This evenings papers an
nounce that in the French chamber of
deputies the anti-clericals have begun
the debate on the relations between
church and state in France, and even
the most ssanguine of the prelates IN
Rome have abandoned what little hone
they entertained until now in a cessa-
tlon OF hostilities against the church.
The Concordat will be abrogated, and
whatever the ultimate results for re.
ligion may be, the immediate future
is very dark indeed. 1t is not at all
impossible that within month or two
France will be plunged in civil war.
The patience of the moderately mind.
ed has been strained to the farthest
limit, and the frequent instances of
resistance to the tyranny of Combes
and his minions are but the prelude
TO an outbreak which will involve the
greater part of the country. In the
present temper of the government it
VIII not be surprising to find Christi
anity utterly prescribed in France.
With the abrogation of the Concordat
the civil authorities will attempt to
take possession of all the ecclesias.
tical buildings through the length and
breadth of France, and the stipends
OF all the French priests and bishops
will be at once suppressed-Vox Ur:-

GERMANY'S EMPEROR.

And His Attitude Towards the Cath.
olic Church.
The dramatic spectacular intuition
of Emperor William is keenly appre,
ciated by the French Catholic Presse,
which devotes page after page of text
and Photographic reproductions to the
grand religious pageant with which
the kaiser, fresh from his visit to the
pope and surrounded by a general
staff of cardinals, archbishops and &C.
clesiastical dignitaries, proclaimed
himself the defender of Catholicity in
Germany, and as Protestant sover-
eign made for the first time his Of
fetal entry into Catholic church in
Lorraine, and with a signal from his
field marshals baton inaugurated the
new doors of Metz cathedral, the most
prominent of the decorative works of
sculpture being the figure of Daniel
come to judgment, pointing to an open
book with the work PAX" the head
of Daniel being a life-like portrait of
Emperor William himself in a primi-
tive gown and cowl. The resemblance
is most striking, the sculptor having
committed the anachronism of retain
ing the well known upturned nous
taches that add such piquancy to the
emperors expression.
The Gaulois, the Figaro, the Soleil
and other Partisan papers have sent
special correspondents to record these
Catholic ceremonials of the emperor
at Metz, whose dispatches give pic.
turesque descriptions of the pageant
Nearly all the papers draw a contrast
between the attitude of the Lutheran
sovereign Of Protestant Prussia. who
draws closer to the Catholic church,
and Catholic France, who is closing
Catholic chapers and converts, driving
away, and seeking every plausible mo-
tive to drive away, clergy, monks and
nuns. Great stress is laid upon the
submissive attitude of Emperor Will.
