Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia dep
Secated having a Jubilee" or public
celebration of the tWenty-fifth anniver-
sary of his appointment, on the ground
that such public functions are egoistic
and distract the mind from more
worthy matters says the Baltimore
Sun. To lofty character, concerned,
on the one hand, with the eternal veri-
ties, and, on the other, with the welfare
of other persons, TO the exclusion of
care of self, complimentary ceremonies
and formal eulogium are undesirable
and even irksome. They are trifies to
the serious mind and Objectionable as
the archbishop says, as displacing
things better worth attention. Such is
the archbishop's point of view. Never
theless his services are so notable and
his character so admirable that his
many devoted friends and admirers find
pleasure in recognizing them, and, not
withstanding his opposition, had quiet
celebrations of the completion of a
quarter century of eminent services, in
tending to further celebrate it Aug. 20.

of the archbishops official duties.

PREVARIcATING AMERICAN
MISSIONARIES IN THE CONGO

With an audacity which is equalled
only by their deliberate prevarication,
two American sectarian preachers in
the Congo Free State have been send
ing to the gullible members of the mis-
sionary societies in this country stories
about their being prosecuted by the Bel
gian officials because they have Eek
posed and denounced" the atrocities"
that are being constantly perpetrated
there. The Observer has more than
once proved the falseness of these state
ments. One of the Belgian officials
whom they have slandered is now pros
ecuting q lying pair of Calvinists for
criminal libel. This has given them an
other excuse for appealing to Americans
for funds. These Belgian officials be-
ing Catholics they say in effect, we
cannot expect a fair trial Send US lots
Of money to hire Protestant lawyers,
and ask the secretary of state to in
struct the American consul here to see
that we get fair play" They will get
plenty of money from their American
dupes. TO be sure; but they will get JUS
tice from the Belgians, too.

Our Girls and the Blessed Joan of Arc

In the course of a very fine tribute to
Joan of Arc, now numbered among the
Beatifed, the Baltimore Sun, a secular
paper, says:
It has been the usage almost from
time immemorial to characterize women
as members of the gentler sex. Joan of
Arc had the quality of gentleness to a
notable degree. Her voice, 1t is said
was of great sweetness. She had fine
grace and dignity Of manner and that
simple sincerity of faith which shrinks
from no ordeal, however severe, to eve
cute lofty purpose. In everyday life
women Of the present generation dis
play a fortitude, conservation to noble
service, a spirit of unselfishness and
self-sacrifice, equal in every way to the
high and noble characteristics of Joan
Of Arc They endure suffering with an
eQuanimity which puts most men to the
blush. The spend themselves in the SER
vice of others with an altruistic eZal
and generosity which takes no account
of their own comfort and happiness
They submit to disappointments with a
resignation which few men emulate. The
gentle sex is in many respects the brav-
er sex the more persevering, the more
resolute, the more helpful sex. In many
a modern household there is a woman
with the qualities and attributes which
are inseparable from saintliness of pur
pose and saintliness Of life. 1t has been
said. as the final. estimate of Joan of
Arc. that the grea tness of her career did
not consist so much in her military
achievements as in her pure, true, un-
selfish character, her nobility of pur
pose. her answering fidelity. The
world today is full of women with these
attributes, and every man who is capa
BILE of approaching them recognizes
what a mighty influence such women
are in the elevation of humanity
incalculable service they render in pro-
noting the happiness and usefulness Of
the human race.
This is very good. The inference to be
drawn by all of Joans sex is that in or
der to do noble deeds it is not necessary
to do-as Joan was called to do-the
work of a great military leader. OPP
portunities for pure and unselfish ser
vice surround all our girls every hour
in the day and every day in the year;
and If they would be like Joan they
should take advantage of these opportu-
mites to be sweet-tempered, pure
minded. helpful and trustworthy. The

From the Sydney Catholic Press is
learned news of the death of Charles
William MacCarthy. son of DR.. Mac
Carthy of Sydney, a very prominent
Catholic of that city. Deceased was
only % years of age and was a native
of Clonmel, Ireland. Despite his youth,
he had won the highest honors at Blum

received his F. A. degree, with honors,
at Oxford. He was preparing for the
law, and was an able student of Indian
affairs, having resided in India for
some time His love for the old land
was paramount" says the Press, and
had invariably manifested itself when
occasion arose. His ambition was to be

The Contract Plan.

Suppose we pay the doctor by the week
To doctor US, however great or slight
Our ailment-health insurance, so to

We'd probably have less appendicitis.
Likewise if things could just be thus

So we on the installment plan could
buy a
Good bunch of health, It's likely that
our cup
Would not be bitter from neurasthe-
mia.
1t certainly's a most attractive scheme
Thus to avoid the periodic shakedown
From bills that break us, so we'd never
dream
Of suffering again from general
breakdown.
The joy of living it would color so
'Twould, seem that we saw LIES light
through a prism,
And yet we have some doubts, don't
you know,
About our darned oul chronic rheu-

And maybe we the druggist need not
seek
So often for those queer prescription

Yet the burden resting on rulers and
statesmen is one of vast responsibility.
To them is entrusted the welfare OF
millions: trade, manufacture, agricul-
ture, education, domestic prosperity and
national honor all are dependent ulti-
mately on the country's rulers and
statesmen; and these myriad issues
have to be so harmonized that temporal
success bring not eternal ruin. Yet
amid the pride Of the farmer the latter
is often forgotten. Hence the people
at large, who reap the social blessings
of good government, owe that same
government the gratitude of their
prayers.
None will deny the duty of each citi-
zen to contribute his share to the ceono-
my of the nation: far more are We
bound to give our rulers and statesmen
spiritual assistance. Such help is in the
power Of ali, and is a duty from which
neither poverty nor employment can
excuse us. Our Holy Father in his
watchful solicitude is reminding US of
this claim upon our charity. He knows
its importance. for he is both ruler and
statesman himself: and the very full
ness of his wisdom reveals TO him the
wants of fellow rulers. Let us join him

whose influence for good or for evil is

The Waters OF eaIiIee.

The wind is low in the oleanders,
Softly stirring the rosy sea;
Out from hill rill meanders
Down to the waters of Galilee.
A burning blazon of blue enamels
The rafnless heaven that arches DER;
And Druses browse by their crouching
camels
Where meadows dip in the shingly
shore.
Crumbling walls that the hyssop clings
Such is Magdala's glory now;
And the only ear the cuckoo sings TO
Is that of his mate on the carol
Dough.
The columned city that Herod fash
That glistened white in the monday
blaze,
Naught is left of its past impassioned
Save ghosts that wander its squalid
ways.
Never a sail nor galley caring
The shimmering reaches of liquid
calm;
Only watchful vuIture soaring
Over the crest of a lonely palm.
But still the mountains, violet, vernal,
And the brooding wales where the
shepherds be,
And the sun, in its equipoise eternal,
Looking down upon Galilee.
And ever, to halo the desert places,
BY the spell of the girding silenet
bound,
The haunting thought of the face of
faces,
OF Him through whom this is holy
ground

Mistrust.

A habit of mistrust is the torment of
some people. 1t taints their love and
their friendship. They take up small
causes of offense. They expect their
friends to show the same aspect to
them at all times, which is more than
human nature can do. They try expe-
rlments to ascertain whether they are
sufficiently loved; they watch narrowly
the effects of absence, and require their
friends to prove to them that their in
timacy is exactly upon the same footing
as 1t was before. Some persons acquire
these suspicious ways from natural
diffidence in themselves. With others.
these habits arise from a selfishness
which cannot be satisfied. And their
endeavors should be to uproot such a
disposition, not to soothe it.

A Gaelic Salvation.

Canon Courtenay Moore, Protestant
rector of Michelstown, Cork, has an in
teresting letter in a recent issue of the
Guardian of London, in the course of
which he says:
"I have been told by an Irish solic-
itor a member of the Roman commun-
ion, that a distinguished English Nom
conformist on a tour in Ireland went to
Mass in Killarney, and when the Host
was elevated he heard a poor peasant
saying devoutly, 'Caed Mile Failthe
ribh Slanuightheoir an domhain.' Out OF
curiosity he inquired into the meaning
of the sentence, and when it was ex-
planned to him he was so deeply af-
fected by it that he went over to Rome
in consequence. [ cannot give the date
of the incident, nor can [ offer any
opinion as to the prevalence of repeat
ing this devout and touching Irish for
mula by Irish-speaking people when as
sisting at Mass. To judge from Provost
Balls letter, it was apparently a con-
gregational act in Gaeic-speaking dis
tricts some half a century ago. The re-
vival of the study of Irish may tend to
preserve and revive this touching ma
tional and original feature of purely
Irish worship. But the origin of the
phrase connects it with a salutation spe-
ciaIly for Christmas day. and as such it
has existed in Ireland for many CEN
turtles. 1 will make inquiries as to its
nonrubrical use in the service of the
Mass from my old Irish-speaking par
ishioner and friend.

ton is current among the Irish Roman
Catholic peasantry in Munster: Our

WHERE ARE THE HONORS?

Our exchanges tell US of Catholic stu
dents carrying off honors in the distinc-
lively secular universities, says the
Pittsburg Catholic. What honors dc
they carry off, pray? Is it not well adj
mitted that too many of these institu-
lions are making skeptics? Do they not
give an education that dwarfs and does
not develop, that parts with cheering
certainties in exchange for execrable
and destructive theories? Students
called Catholic. in these hotbeds OF
modern infidclity are an anomaly. They
carry off no honors that elevate the
name dearest of all, the name Catholic
especially when it is linked with the
name of education.
