CORPUS CHRISTI.

The feast of Corpus Christi
which is annually celebrated on
the Thursday following Trinity
Sunday was instituted for the pur-
pose Of honoring in a special man
ner the Blessed Sacrament Of the
Altar In the United States and
in some other countries the cele-
bration of the feast is transferred
to the following Sunday.
Apart from the Holy Sacrifice,
the most important feature Of the
celebration is the procession in
which, wherever possible, the
Blessed Sacrament is borne out
side the church and Benediction
given from temporary affairs to all
present as a pledge of the fullness
of Gods blessing on mankind. In
Catholic countries this feature is
carried out with a great deal of
solemnity as a testimony of Cath
Ollie faith. In such circumstances
everything connected with the pro-
cession breathes of faith. From
the confines of a temple built by
human hands Our Lord passes
into the great temple of nature
whose portals are opened to re-
ceive Him as the Prince of Peace.
AS of old in Jerusalem, bows and
branches and flowers mark His
pathway; His chosen people ac-
company Him preceded by the
cross through which He van
pushed death and hell; hymns OF
praise and thanksgiving fill the
air; lighted candles typify the
faith that CLOVIS in the hearts Of
the people; and clouds of incense
ascend to heaven as symbol Of
their devotion.
The feast of Corpus Christi
therefore, partakes of the nature
of a triumph. Since the feast O.
the institution of the Blessed Sac
rament on Holy Thursday occur.
during Holy Week, when tn,
Church is compassionating the suf
fering of our Divine Lord, it i
not possible to celebrate it will
becoming splendor, and hence tn
Church puts into the celebration
of Corpus Christi all the signs o
triumphant joy which she cal
manifest towards the Blessed Sac
Ilrament.

and moral prosecutions to which
the Law of Separation subjects the
Church. The liberty OF Catholic
citizens has been usurped; the
Church has been dispoiled OF the
means indispensable for the main
tenance of worship and Of the
clergy; she can no longer foster
the many charities bound up with
religion because the new law for
bids all testamentary dispositions
in her favor; the members OF her
hierarchy are excluded from any
share in the organizations of wor-
ship; and the promolgation OF
ecclesiastical DEGREES without the
permission of the civil authorities
is forbidden. Against all this His
Holiness protests vigorously as
well as against the arbitrary dis
missal of the Bishops of Oporto
and Beja. He points out that the
real object Of this new law is the
destruction Of the Catholic Church
in Portugal by severing her from
all allegiance to Rome. For these
reasons Pope Plus x condemns the
recent Separation Law promul-
gated by the Provisional Govern
ment Of Portugal and declares it
null and void, as an attempt to
legislate against the inviolable
rights Of the Church. In conclu-
sion he warmly praises the Bishops
and clergy for their fidelity to the
Holy See and exorts them to per.
severe in their apostolic spirit OF
sacrifice.

at the University and is held in
the highest esteem by the authori-
ties. 1t has done more to make re
ligion a vital force in the life Of
the student body than any course
Of religious lectures will do. It
has made the Catholic students
proud of their Church. 1t has
consistently shut it's door to those
Catholics who could not prove, by
deeds as well as by words, their
practical Catholicity.
This addition Of a course Of re-
ligious instruction to the curricu-
lum of Columbia shows the trend
of the age and is tantamount to an
acknowledgment Of the ineffciency
Of purely secular training to fur
nish what is demanded for the
moral development and spiritual
growth Of those who depend on it
for education.

FROM THE EMERALD ISLE
May Procession at inchicore.

Inchicore, the famous demesne OF
the Oblate Fathers, was en- fete last
Sunday for one of the beautiful May
professions for which it is justly ia
nous. Through the magnificent
with their professional route
lined with shrines and affairs, moved a
train of clients of Our Lady, some $50
strong, the youth of the city being well
represented, boys and girls, young
men and women, and older persons
walking in the various insignia of
their confraternities, carrying hand
some banners and all preceding the
magnificent statue of Our Lady which
was followed by the clergy from sew
eral of the Dublin missions, including
the Pro-Cathedral, all reciting the
rosary.
Pilgrimage to Lourdes.
A great pilgrimage of the women of
Ireland to Our Lady of Lourdes is to
take place in September next, and ex-
tensive preparations are now going
forward in many parishes that every
town and city in the country, and even
the villages, wherever possible, may
be represented in this band of Irish
Children of Mary and Irish Matrons,
who are to supplicate the Holy Mother
at the favored French Shrine. An
other general Irish pilgrimage is leav-
ing Dublin on August 10Th and has
arranged to be in Lourdes at that
most wonderful season when the great
White Train comes down from Paris,
bearing it's thousands of sick and dy-
ing patients to the miraculous shrine
This is the sight of all others to see
at Lourdes, panorama of faith that
has converted more than one atheist
already. Well known priests will
accompany each pilgrimage and the
general one may be led by Bishop
Sentinel.

Some time ago the Most Rev
erend John Healy, d. D., Arch
bishop of Tuam, and his clergy
held a conference from which a
strong appeal was sent forth to
the British Government, asking
them to give the Irish people
greater assistance in their agricul-
tural pursuits. Archbishop Healy
did not hesitate to say that in a
country like Ireland the rudiments
of agriculture should be taught in
every elementary school, and un-
til the British Government make
such provision it cannot be ex-
pected that there will be taken out
of the soil all the wealth of pro-
duce that is lying dormant within
it. 1t is hoped that the Chief
Secretary, to whom the recon-
mendation was sent, will bring
this matter to the attention of the
Home Government and urge favor
able action upon it.

The feast itself owes it's origin to
the fervent devotion to the Blessed
Sacrament Of st. Juliana, an Au-
gustinian nun, Of Liege, in Bel
GUM, who, as the result Of a vision,
was moved to prevail upon the
Archdeacon Of Liege to work for
the establishment of special feast
in honor Of the Blessed Sacrament.
Afterwards, as Pope Urban ", he
prescribed the annual celebration,
throughout the world, of the feast
Of Corpus Christi on the day on
which it is now celebrated and
granted an indulgence to the
faithful for attendance at Mass on
that occasion. Under his direction,
the office Of the feast, one Of the
most impressive in the Breviary,
was composed by st. Thomas
Aquinas.
Holy Mother Church calls upon
her children to celebrate this spe-
cial feast in manner BETTING
the August Sacrament in whose
honor it was instituted. She rec
ognizes in the Blessed Sacrament
the source of all her vigor and
strength, the glory Of her exist
ence, the never-failing fount of
all-sufficient grace. The Blessed
Sacrament is "the memorial Of all
the wonderful works Of Cod, )" and
as such Catholics accord to it the
first and most important place in
their devotions. It is the pivot
around which circulates all the
ceremonial pomp of the Catholic
Church. It is the center towards
which gravitate the homage anc
devotion that rise up, as it were
instinctively to God from the
Catholic heart. The observance Of
the feast of Corpus Christi can be
made an occasion Of great spirit
ual advantage for no devotion il
so prolific Of graces for the indi
vidual soul as that which has fol
object the Blessed Sacrament Of
the Altar.

The Holy Father and Cardinal
Merry Del Val were interested
spectators of the arrival Of the
gallant young French airman,
Naval Lieutenant Conneau, in his
aerOplane from Paris some time
ago. From the Vatican windows
Plus X WATCHED the great white
winged machine, like a gigantic
bird, drawing near the Eternal
City from over Mount Mario, and
as it flew across the seven hills His
Holiness lifted his hand in bless
ing. He was very much interested
in the details of the flight and
quite enthusiastic over the achieve
ment which he declared was one
Of the most wonderful events of
the century. The Lieutenant re-
ceived a great ovation from the
crowds who had gathered to await
his expected coming. A great
storm was lowering over the City
of Rome and the dark clouds with
their ragged purple tinge served
as magnificent background for
the lonely traveller Of the air.

RELIGION AND SCIENCE.

Columbia University, New
York, announces a new departure.
1t is about to add to it's curricu-
lum a course of study in religion.
The generosity Of a donor, whose
name is withheld for the present,
makes possible the inauguration
of series of lectures ''for the
purpose Of helping the students
sustain within themselves those
religious beliefs and principles
which the scientific studies of the
University might tend to unset
tle'. 1t may be asked if this is
a public acknowledgement, on the
part of the University, of the ne5
cessity of such course in order
to counterfeit the baneful in
fuence of it's teaching? Is it a
tacit admission of the unreligious
character Of it's scientific course
Surely Columbia does not main
tain that science is necessarily an
tagonistic to religion. And yet,
it admits that there is danger that
it's scientific studies may tend to
unsettle the religious beliefs of its
students.
Is this proposed course in reli,
gion really necessary? What Co.
lumbia and other institutions OF
the kind need is, not a special
course in religion, but a practice.
recognition Of the fact that scien
tifc study based upon a knowl
edge Of the facts Of the materia
world and a correct interpreta
ton of them infallibly leads to {
recognition of the supernatural
No university worthy Of the name
ought to imply, even remotely
that science is opposed to faith
Here and there one may find ;
fossilized exponent Of scientific
absurdities waxing eloquent owe
this exploded notion; but the.
are few. And it may be said O
them as President Butler of Co
lumbia is reported to have sail

| Nor will the proposed course o
religious instruction remedy tn

undogmatic of what use will j
be? Unless the students ar
