Msgr. John S. Vaughan if England,
Canon Of Westminster Cathedral, who
is visiting in this country, was asked
for his opinion on the controversy
over the situation of the Church in
France He is brother of Father
Bernard Vaughan, who has been ex-
posing the evils of English high So
ciety
There is no doubt in my mind
about the outcome" said Msgr.
Vaughan. The Church in France will
grow stronger and learn to depend on
itself. as the Church does i'll England
and other countries. While l believe

longer strong in France especially
among the men, but with the conse-
cldtloIl ftCeHtlS Ol fourteen new
French bishops I believe there will be
renewed life in the Church in France
One must know the French to UNDER
stand the situation.
'"Fhe clergy do not go among the
people, minglc in the home life of the
parishioners. as we in England do, for
instance. The clergyman says, well,
I'm here: if you want me come; or, if
it's sick call, send for me-" And the
laity have come to look upon the
clergy in much the same manner, That
is far from being the Catholic spirit.
That is one of the many things that
will have to be changed gradually. I'm
less there is union of hearts between
the parishioners and the clergy there
can be no progress
Asked to what he attributed the ap-
parent disloyalty of the laymen in
France, he said:
principally to the government. The
Catholic is taunted in private and
slurred in public. If he is weak he
falls; if he is strong, he stands but at
a great sacrifice. Such condition

Importance of Taking Catholic Paper.

The Very Rev. T. Gartlan, S. j.,
addressing large congregation in ST.
Stephens cathedral, Brisbane, Aus
tralia, said: The becoming Il sub
scriber to Il Catholic paper is of no
less Importance than joining a con-
fraternity. Every home should have
one. BY taking Il Catholic paper a
subscriber helps the cause of religion
as well as nationality, as it helps to
spread Catholic opinion amongst
Catholic people. The Catholic paper
is Indispensable to every home that
seeks to preserve the faith. Its fate
and fortunes largely depend on the
support it receives from the Catholic
body. Every subscriber can help by
procuring others, and so propagate
Catholic news. The paper carries or
| it's wings the best news, the best
hopes and aspirations ana blessings
that light up many IL sunless home"

The woman from the following bit

be we'll to explain of the easily ex-

to rattle when it's pages are turned,
nor write Il letter because the pen

A Famous German Professor.

The death of Prof. Schell. of Wurz-
burgh. last month. removes yet am
other of the famous Catholic pro-
fessors who have done so much +" give
Germany the leading place in the
world of Catholic scholarship. Schanz,
DenitIc and Schel have gone to their
account within IL year. but it is con-
soling to think that younger men are
qualified to take their places.
Prof. Schcll was born in Freiburs.
Bresgau, in 1850, and was educated at
the universities of F'reiburg and Wurz-
burgh. He took his doctOrate in phil
osophy ut F'reburg. and in theology at
Tubngcn. and in 1885 was appointed
professor of apologetics In Wurzburgh.
students of all classes both clerical
and lay. and his lectures were always
we'll attended. His publications are
well known over the Catholic world,
especially his "Dogmatic Theology"
and his Apology for Christianity"
His opinions on some questions were
sharply combatted by other Catholic
scholars After the publication of his
book "Catholicity and Progress" and
its companion volume. THE Modern
World and the Old Belief" many OPP
ponents openly took the field against
him. and for Il time the battle ragged
with uncxampled bitterness. In the
end four or five works were placed
in the Index uS9S), and Schell quick
ly disappointed the enemies of the
church by gracefully submitting to the
decree. He respected the decision of
his superiors, and for the last eight
years no further difficulties have
arisen.

A Stronger Catholic Church.

Archbishop Ryan in an interview
on the Popes encyclical and the situ-
alton in France says that all that the
Catholics of France or anywhere else
ask is the same freedom from govern
ment as they enjoy in the United
States.
THAT must be the result" said His
Grace. land that result %ill be at
tended by another, as an effect Of per-
secution: a stronger Catholic Church
than ever.
The movement seeks to destroy the
constitution of the Ccurch. Some peo-
pie imagine that the Pope could have
done anything he pleased in the mat
ter. but the Pope was powcrless to do
anything else than what he has done.
He must uphold the constitution of
the Church. He and all tie bishops
together have not power to grant a
single divorce. He and al. the bish-
ops have no power to consent to the
propositions OF the French government
to overthrow the constitution of the
Church. If here was disloyalty to the
government anywhere they should pun
ish the disloyalty.
1T is difficult for minds accustomed
to the complete liberty which we enjoy
in this territory to understand how a
civilized government can, III the name
of liberty. subject an entire Christian
people to the yoke of official atheism" "

the opinion that confession by tele-
phone is of very doubtful validity and

for any priest to practice it, before the
Church has pronounced final decs-
ion.
DR. Pohle expresses himself still
more decidedly against the validity of
telephone absolution. True, he says,
