Mixeo Marriage8.
Catholic Organizations That Have Been Formed to Prevent
Marriage With Non-Catholes.

The great activity among all denomina-
lions to overcome the divorce evil has
brought forth q number of interesting
campaigns looking to the regeneration OF
mankind on this score. One of the latest
of these was begun at Cleveland. Ohio.
where q number OF Catholics of this me-
tropolis OF the west and other centers have
formed what Is officially known as the
Catholic Introduction Club. Designed to
lessen the dangers Of mixed marriages. the
organisation Is In the nature of a matri-
monial bureau. with this distinction. ac-
cording to the circulars issued. that the
institution will - conducted by priests
and prominent .aymen.
It is the desire Of the promoters of the
new institution to bring together Catholic
young men and women with a view to mat
rimony. and 1t Is thereby hoped to lessen
the number OF marriages Of Catholics with
non-Catholics. Circulars Of the Catholic
Introduction Club have been received In
the east, and in this city have been causing
some lively discussion in Knights of CO.
lunbus circles. The Catholic Introduction
Club and the reason for Its estabnsnment
ment from an official of the organization.
He says:
'.The discussions of the subject Of matri-
mOny that occur SO frequently are I'll iii
portant sign of the times. The complaint
is made Of the difficulty OF getting &C
Quainted with Catholic young people and OF
the lack Of social spirit, or opportunity
in many Catholic parishes.
Pastors everywhere complain OF mixed
marriages and the falling of Of all mar
riages The thing Is to get the young peo-
pie together. The Knights OF columbus
and kindred organizations, by their out
ings and socials. are helping somewhat the
comparatively few that they reach. the
cities are full Of young men boarding
there, and there Is no more improperly In
an introduction being secured through this
club than in their being made acquainted
at socials. outings etc.
This idea has for some time been under
advisement by a few Catholic men. inciud-
ing well-known members of the clergy.
It is said that steps will be shortly taken
in Washington to form branch OF the
Catholic Introduction Club, to be affiliated
with the parent body or headquarters at
Cleveland, Ohio.
Marriage has. it is said. come in for spe-
cial consideration at the hands of the
Catholic layman ere this. Several years
ago an Organization was formed In New
York city, known as the Daughters or the
Faith, to overcome the divorce evil. The

The whole incident. with this rather pro-

Every six minutes a child is born. Every

New York has more children at Its pub

jails better distributed street traffic and
a higher standard of health.
New York's subway carries more passen-

The number of crimes of violence Is twice
as large in London as in New York. and
the number of arrests for drunkenness IN
London is four times great as the num-
Der of arrests for the same cause in New
York.
New York has more fires in a year than
London and they entail greater loss. 1t
has less shipping as a port than London,
fewer clerks to the whole population en-
ployed, but more bosses or employers.

Would Libel Motor Cars,


Having had plenty of experience of the
disadvantages OF barren judgments / can
deeply sympathize with those who get such
judgments against motorists. One way in
which the effects of a judgment may be
defeated Is by the defendant being penni-
less. Such a one may have hired a motor
for day. Other methods well known to
lawyers are debuntuAe policies, bills of SALE
and, above all. the ever blessed creation Of
chancery, the marriage settlement. Now
there is an exception to this law of judg-
ment being against the person. In the case
of ships the ship is primarily liable for the
accident. This is called an action In rem
Similarly. in the case of motors, would
make the vehicle itself liable for the
amount of judgment as well as the owner
or hirer. In other words. debenture pol

would not avail. nor would the owner of a
car be able to dispose of 1t or use II until
the judgment was satisfied, unless suffi-
cient security had been given 70 the salts

had a successful progress The movement
has the appreciation OF Pope Plus X. Mgr.
Faiconio. Cardinal Gibbons and a number
or others of the Catholic hierarchy.
1t Is the opinion of the promoters OF this
organization that mixed marriages" go a
long way toward propagating unfortunate
Alliances. This same view has been he'd
by number of distinguished clergy and
laity of other denominations. Eliza o. b.
Lummfns. moderator of the Daughters OF
the Faith. has this to say about divorce:
The question has been deeply studied
from many points OF view. and the synop-
sis OF the society, which has been ap-
proved suggests a general rule. with all al
l0wances for individual circumstances.
Thus the Catholic Divorce who remarries
and other Divorces whose lives are an
open scandal will be socially ignored. The
ordinary Divorce will be treated with con-
sideration and charity. but the law OF God
will be upheld and that charity commend
ed that seeks the good Of the soul rather
than the body by prudent recognition of
moral rights The Daughters of the Faith
also encourage a serious preparation for
marriage and its full sacramental express
sion In the celebration of the nuptial mass.
Pope Plus x addressed a most hearty let
ter of appreciation to the moderator OF the
Daughters of the Faith, saying. In part:

whose position, wealth or name give them
most powerful influence in society.

appeared with all the funds of the little
church. has been erased from the tablet
stating the order Of services which ap-

erasement has not been made by the Gus
tomary means of painting over name.
Instead knives. stones and other imple-
ments have been used to scratch 1t of.
Then to complete the affair. mud has been
smeared over it. SO that it Is scarcely leg
ible.
The act represents the present attitude
of the congregation. who allege that they
are the victims OF misplaced confidence
When the money and minister were nrst
missed the members refused to credit the
fact that their seemingly self-sacrificing
and Jealous pastor was guilty OF doing the
church an Intentional wrong. 1t was not
until all absolute doubt was dispelled by
the detectives that the band lost their
faith in him.
The reaction has turned the feeling
against Mr.. Culley as great as 1t was Tor
him. The church. which was hardly able
to carry one mortgage of $500, Is now
burdened with two. The members see but
one end, unless the man and the money are
found-the disarmament Of the church,
hopelessly in debt
Just at the beginning Of what was be-
lieyed to be a new era, the little congre-
CATION is confronted with its worst crisis.
The work and sacrifice of years of hand
full of members will be for naught.
These are the things that the hundred
members are talking about. And 1t Is be-
cause of these disappointments and the en-
tanglements into which they have been
thrown that they are urging the detectives
to increase their efforts to locate the miss
ing man. 1t is believed that he Is in New
York. and the police of that city have been
asked to make thorough search for him.
Mrs. Beveridge, who gave the money to
Mr.. Culley to cancel the mortgage, re-
mains almost alone in her support of him.
She believes that some mistake has been
made and that he will return and refund
the money. It Is a view shared by few.
The majority have lost their confidence and
instead are bent on bringing the man to
justice as quickly as he can be located.

these islands will comprise the largest bird

year the islands were watched by two war
