canonization of Columbus.

Cardinal Richelmy, Archbishop of
Turin, has accepted the presidency of
an international committee. which is
being formed in Italy for the commence
ration of the fourth centennial of the
death of Christopher Columbus, on May
90, 1906, by the erection of a magnifi-
cent monument in the Vatican to the
great discoverer of America. At the
same time steps are being taken to
recall to life the movement for his can
onization
1t is not generally known that at
the Vatican council thirtysiX years
ago a large number of the archbish
ops and bishops present signed a pc
tition urging Pope Plus TX to admit
the Inauguration of the necessary
steps to this end in the Congregation
of Rites. And even after, the council
prelates in different parts of the world
made individual appeals to the Holy
See about the matter.
The late Count de Lorgues spent his
entire life in collecting evidence des-
tined to support the claims of Column
bus to canonization and in vindicating
his memory from certain charges all
legged against him. But since the
counts death the affair has been al
lowed to drop, and it is only now that
it is being taken up again, in connec-
ton with the quadricentennial of the
death of Columbus, who may, after
all, become the patron saint of Amer

Pope Has Force of Character.

Little by little Plus X is dispelling
the impression which prevailed so eX-
tcnsively during the first year of his
papacy that he was an amiable. good
uatured prelate of rather limited views,
possessed of more piety than statecraft,
and who. owing to his ignorance of in
ternational politics. would be easily
swayed. During the relatively short
time that he has been on the throne
OF st. Peter he has introduced the most
radical changes. both in ecclesiastical
administra ton and in the policy of the
church in Italy, as well as abroad, and
has shown in many ways that, far
from being subject to the influences OF
his encourage he is more independent
iu character and more masterful than
either of his two immediate predeces-

Moreover. he is possessed Of an
amount of homely wit, which is of

Meaning of the Mass.

Protestants, who do not understand
the ceremony of the mass, often Won
der what there is in ii to attract such
close attention. To them preaching
and hymn-singing is the accepted form
of public worship.
1t would, therefore, be well to tell cur
Catholic friends that all the cere-
monies have a meaning, and relate to
the Passion of Christ When, for in
stance, the priest begins the function,
he kneels at the foot of the altar, and
there he represents Christ in the bloody
sweat in the Garden of Gethsemani.
Then he goes up the steps and kisses
the altar, and we are reminded of the
kiss with which Judas betrayed the
Master Then he goes to one side of the
altar and then to the other, and back
to the center of it, and we recall how
our Savior was led before Annas and
Caiphas, and PLATE, and Herod and
back to PLATE, and finally to the hill of
Calvary.
The priest washes his hands, and we
think of PLATE doing the same. and de-
claring that he is guiltless of this limo
cent blood When the conservation
takes place and the Host is raised
above the priests head, to be seen by
the congregation, we behold Jesus
nailed to the cross and lifted up to die
And so the sacred drama goes on
he dies. he is buried, he rises again
he ascends into heaven, and the Holy
Ghost comes down. to bless the church
and abide with it forever. With that
blessing, given by the priest, the words
are heard: 60. for mass is over" and
the people, having taken part in Offer
ing the holy sacrifice, depart in peace,
thanking God for the grace of their
presence at such celestial mysteries.
Is it any wonder that the mass is a
magnet and that Catholics do not need
preaching, or music, or reading to in
crease its charm?

MADAME AUGUSTA HOLMES.

An incident of pathetic interest has
happened in the Court of Appeals in
Paris. A question was raised relative
to the disposition of certain requests
to the Conservatory of Music and to
the Museum and Library of Versailles,
by Madame Augusta Holmes, the emil
nent Irish musical composer Her
will made in 1901, was read in the
course of the proceedings, and the fol-
lowing extract is given in the French
papers as showing the deep patriotic
passion which animated the Irish ex-
lie: AT my burial ] beg the admirable
orchestra of the Conservatory to kindly
give the funeral march from the sym
phony, 'Irlande. l beg my friends not
to grieve for me, and to remember that
these partings are transitory, and that
l shall be living on that day-the day
of departure-which will be festival
day, for I shall go to the imperishable
light. l am a Christian and Catholic,
Republican and a patriot. | shall go
holding in my heart love for glorious
France and for poor Ireland, my two
netherlands. Hence, if at the time of
my going the Cross of the Legion of
Honor has been given me, / should
wish the army to be represented at
my last journey, for the French army
is the sacred defense of the land of
my adoption, and. feel, will some day
deliver the land of my forefathers.''

Too Many DeVotions.

A timely little note of warning is
sounded by the Sacred Heart Review
in a recent number Every one, says
the Review, should be careful not to
confuse his mind by multiplicity of
devotions and prayers. We must bear
i'll mind that most forms of devotion
are optional, and all persons are not
specially attracted to the same forms.
One person may, like Faber, be most
drawn to the devotion to the Precious
Blood; another, like Blessed Margaret
Mary, to the Sacred Heart. Some per-
sons are very devout to st. Joseph;
others, to st. Anthony. What is neces-
sary is to remember that the creed
contains what we should believe; the
Commander ents what we should do or
avoid: while the sacraments and pray
ers are the means of obtaining Gods
help. We are not to find fault with
our neighbor if he does not visit just
the shrine that we prefer, or make pre-
cisely the same novenas, or know
about every indulgence, or invoke our
dearest saint. Let US serve God, with
liberty of spirit; do conscientiously all
that is of obligation: and leave the
rest to sweet charity and to God.

Chinese Catholic Church.

The first Catholic Chinese church on
the American continent has just been
dedicated at San Lorenzo, State of So
ola in Mexico. San Lorenzo is min
ing town of 5000 population, includ-
ing the Chinese colony, numbering 200
Most of these Cinnamon are Catholics
having been converted by French mis-
sionaries in their own country. One
hundred and ten of them hail from
FRANC Ting-Fu, a large percentage of
whose residents embraced the Cath
Ollie faith at the hands of the mission
aries in question. Some months ago
a Chinese contractor visited their ma
tive town, engaging a large number
for work in Mexico The hundred and
ten. Catholics already mentioned were
among those who signed contracts. On
reaching San Lorenzo, they began at
once to arrange for a church of their
own. There was a church in the town,
b1it the Chinese Catholics preferred to
have another in which French and
Chinese would be spoken instead OF
Spanish. Bishop Urgana of Sinaloa ac-
ceeded to their wishes and offic1ated
himself at the dedication of this unique
place of worship.

Return to the Fold of Peter.

Since the PRONUNCIATION of the cars
edict granting religious liberty to his
subjects, great numbers of strayed
sheep, especially in Russian Poland,
have returned to the fold of Peter. 1t
would seem that a movement toward
the church has begun in the empire-a
movement which may eventually put
an end to the great eastern schism. AS
many as $4,000 persons in Siedlce and
Lublin have already renowned their
allegiance to the Russian church. Com
menting on this consoling fact, the
Lamp (Anglican), a strong advocate of
corporate reunion, says THE pope
as the successor of st. Peter, and the
Lords vicar, does not belong to the
Latins alone-nay, he belongs to the
whole company of the baptized, wheth-
er they be Anglicans or Greeks or Cal
vinists or Lutherans. Let US return, as
did the men of Israel from following
the standard of Absalom, and claim our
rights in the universal Shepherd: and
by doing so regain the goodly Inherit
ance of the one fold and the one Shep-
herd. The Father of Christen-
dom will treat us as handsomely as the
father in the parable treated the prod
igal son."
