What Being Convert Meant Then.

An article in the Catholic World for
December says that Henry Williams
W1lberfoce, one of those who came OVrC
TO the church with Newman and other
participants in the Oxford movement
was once so staunch a member of the
Church of England that he was con-
WINGED that he had been able to talk for
half an hour with Catholic, he could,
with the Bible in his hand, have con-
verted him to Professionalism! Yet this
man, once so firmly set as a Protestant,
gave up a comfortable living as a min
lister of the Established Church, to fol-
low in the way that conscience led
him. And this step, which means
much today. meant a great deal more
in those days. The writer of the Cath
Ollie World article says: ITO resign a
genial successful and lucrative career
in middle life, to say farewell to home
and friends, and to sacrifice the pros
poets Of ones family, are acts that
need no common measure of grace and
fortitude. In the middle of the last
century such an act of abnegation in
volved peculiar suffering. The ruin of
ones career and the loss of ones in
come were bad enough, but a convert
in the fifties had no mercy to expect
from his friends: by common agree
ment he was to be given no quarter

Kind Words From a Secular pan.r.

Commenting on the Chicago Mission
airy Congress, the Waterloo 0owal
Courier says:
The Catholic church has done and is
stllI doing a great work among and for
the Indians 1T has not done as much
comparatively speaking, for the negro.
but perhaps this was owing to the fact
that heretofore this mission field was
operated from abroad. Now that il is
TO be self-gOverned from its home we
confidently expect that more attention
will be paid to work among the negroes
There is here large field of usefulness
opened for the church not thus far
occupied. There are many colored con-
gregatlons, but not many colored
priests. With proper effort the number
of colored churches can easily be in
creased.
We hope that the congress may see
its way clear to increased effort in this
field because the Catholic church is
peculiarly adapted to reach all kinds of
peoples. Protestant churches have done
well, but Protestant worship is very
bare when compared with Catholic
worship. We have eyes to see as well
as ears to hear. which Professionalism
seems TO have forgotten, but Catholic
ism has not. Some churches exalt the
intellectual at the expense of the devo-
tional and sacramental: Catholicism
does not. The color, the vestures. the
and affairs of the Catholic
church all appeal to the children of the
sun. The Imagination is led through
the eye as well as through the ear For
this reason the Catholic church has
mission and a message to the American
negro which no other church has or can
give,

has in an equal degree. Before its al

New Head of the Catholic University.

Cardinal Gibbons has announced that
the Very Rev. Thomas ]. Shahan, D.
D.. has been appointed by the Sacred
Congregation of Studies, of which Car
dinal Satolli is the head, rector of the
Catholic university, to succeed Bishop
Denis J. O'Connell, recently appointed
auxiliary bishop of the diocese of San
Francisco DR.. Shahan holds the chair
Of church history at the university, and
has been connected with the institution
for the past seventeen years.
The appointment gives much salts
faction to all interested in the welfare
of the Catholic university, as DR.. Sha-
han is well acquainted with its affairs
and needs, He is author of a number
of important books, the latest (190S) a
translation from the German of Bar
denhewer's monumental Pathology"
has been the editor Of the University
Bulletin for number of years, and has
contributed largely to various maya
zines
He was born at Manchester, \. H, on
Sept. II. 1857. was graduated from Mon
treal college, Canada, and then went to
the American college at Rome for his
theological course. In 1882 he was or
dained to the priesthood there, and also
had conferred upon him by the College
u lllb GIOpdBduud NilS OCSlCC VI DOC-
tor of Divinity From 1883 to 1883 he
was chancellor and secretary of the do
cese Of aHrtford, and has been pro-
lessor at Washington since 1891.
DR. Shahan's name has been in the
public eye very prominently for the
last three years as one of the editors
Of THE Catholic Encyclopedia, with
out any question the most important
expression of American Catholic schol-
arship ever attempted. In his capacity
as editor of this work, DR.. Shahan has
had occasion to employ all the wide
knowledge which has characterized his
career, and has largely contributed to
the creation Of the high repute in which
the Encyclopedia is held on both sides
Of the Atlantic. AS the appointment of
the TeCtoTship comes direct from the
Congregation of Studies at Rome. il is
regarded not only as a recognition of
Dr. Shahan's worth, but also of the ed |
itorial direction of the Encyclopedias.
At its inception FT. Shahan was Sc
lected as a member Of the board Of |
judges of the Hall of Fame at Univer- |
sity Heights, New York. On the sub
iect of Celtic literature there are few |
men better informed than he, and he /
has at command the treasures of the |
early Irish manuscripts contained in
the libraries of Germany, France and I
Switzerland.

Sober Thouahts for Heroes.

Hero worship is about as old as the
human race, and about as difficult TO
eradicate as any other phase of human
nature. The American people may be
Unconditional but let an individual per-
form some deed that sets him apart
from his fellows as a man possessed of
qualities not displayed by the public
generally, and a nation rises up as one
man to do him homage-today, and to-
morrow it has found another upon
whom to lavish adulation. With the
generous and fit recognition of a noble
act hero worship in it's larger sense has
no part.
No one can begrudge the person who
has done humanity a. service the CRATE
fun recognition of the public, but there
is something homogeneous in the
thought of such a person springing at
once into the limelight. The hero of
yesterday is the drawing card at the
vaudeville show today, and tomorrow
he will be pushed aside and forgotten,
Today the chorus girls leave the artist
ic coloring of their own tinted cheeks
upon his, but after the rays of glory
have beat down upon him for few
short weeks, at the most, he finds him
self treated like any other individual,
unless he does something to recapture
the attention Of the public,
The spectacle of a young navel hero
receiving the osculatory greetings of
scores of admiring maidens is not an
one, and if he possess real
he is likely to find his tran
silent dream of bliss of great handicap
when he subsequently asks to be treat
ed seriously. When he rises on the plat
form to speak, the first thought of the
auditor is, so that is the man who was
kissed by fifty girls!" and the impress
sion of frivolity is not an easy one to
overcome. 1t is safe to say that more
people remember Lieutenant Hobson
because of the episode at Kansas City
than because of the heroic act which
brought him before the public, or on ac-
count of anything he has since done.
Were it possible to determine before
hand the individuals who would stand
most in need of it, course of special
training for heroes might be devised.
1t is unquestionably difficult for the
average human being who finds honor
thrust upon him to bear him
self with grace and dignity. But 1t
should be borne in mind that the glare
IF the limelight is for the moment only,
ana that there will be a lifetime In
which to think about it and wonder
now, on sober second thought, when
hose glorious days have become his
DRY, the incidents following upon the
initial act of heroism really looked
