on fishing trip, he began to com.
plain of thirst when was consum-

felt tug and began drawing in what
he thought was the biggest fish Of
the day. When the bottle came up
he opened it, smelled and tasted It
suspiciously and then drank the con-
tents at gulp. Then running to the
front, he shouted:

portunities for observing their noble
and heroic work, not only in camp and
hospital, but on the death-swept field

dreadful war, where bullets Kissed in

flew madly by with demoniac shrieks,
where dead and mangled forms lay
with pale blood-flecked faces, yet
wearing the scowl of battle, I have
seen the black-robed sisters moving
over the field, their solicitus faces

into the ears soon to be deafened by
the cold implacable hand of death
How many a veteran of the

tossed couch of a hospital! Can we

BISHOP LYsTER
Lord Bishop Of Achonry Called to
Eternal Reward.

At 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning the
Most Rev. DR.. Lyster, lord bishop of
Achonry, passed to his eternal reward.
After short visit to Vichy, the late
bishop was on his way home to his
diocese last July, but on reaching Lon
don it was found that serious opera
ton was of immediate necessity.
Never since could he gather sufficient
strength to return home. Through his
tedious illness he many times showed
wonderful recuperative powers. Often
those dear friends ever near his bed
side and his faithful priests and peo-
pie in Achonry hoped that he might
ultimately regain his former strength;
but for considerable time past it was
painfully certain that hope had no
other foundation to rest on than ardent
desire.
The Most Rev. Dr. John Lyster was
the eldest son Of Mr.. Patrick Lyster,
a well-known Athlone architect, and
was born at Athlone just so years ago.
He was educated at the Summer Hill
college, Athlone, and subsequently pro-
ceeded to Dublin to pursue his studies
at the Dublin Catholic university,
where he had distinguished career.
Subsequently he proceeded to May
nooth, where he won the highest hon.
ors, and was particularly noted for
his brilliant application to theological
studies. He was ordained at May.
nooth, and achieved the distinction of
Doctor Of Divinity. He soon returned
to his native town in the position of
professor at the college where he
had received his early education. His
professional career was noted by a de.
votion to duty, scholastic energy and
skill, combined with rare tact and
charm of manner which won him the
love and admiration of all. He at
tanned the presidency of Sligo college,
and in his association with the west OF
Ireland was the beginning of connec
ton that was destined to endure. In
the year 1888 DR.. Lyster was conse'
Grated bishop of Achonry.

CATHOLIC SECRETARY
Of State for Canada Making Thorough
Investigation of His Department.

Of State for Canada Making Thorough
Investigation of His Department.
Hon. Charles Murphy, the Catholic
secretary of state for Canada, has
been doing some extensive house
cleaning in some of the departments
which come under the jurisdiction of
bis office. Conspicuous amongst these
is the investigation into the affairs of
the printing bureau, a report of
which, contained in a volume of 456
pages, has just been laid before the
house of commons at Ottawa, says a
correspondent Of the Catholic Union
and Times. The investigation was go.
ing on for about two years, many de-
lays being occasioned through, as ex-
planned by Mr.. Murphy, "the incom-
potency Of some officials, the dishon-
esty of others, and complete lack of
frankness on the part of those whose
duty it was to keep their superiors
informed as to the actual working
of the printing bureau" To quote
correspondent to the Catholic Register
from Ottawa, "Mr. Murphy feels that
by making due provision against over
stocking, thereby eliminating con-
slant incentive to extravaganza and
waste; by standardizing stationery and
ether supplies in the same way as all
large corporations, and by a regular
and more systematic form of applica-
ton on the part of the various depart
ments for supplies, not only can a
substantial saving in the annual ex-
| penditure be effected but a much
needed uniformity in the stationery
line be introduced into the depart
ments." 1t Is impossible but that an
investigation of this nature going on
for two years and Of which the end
is not yet, should make many enemies
for the instigator. So in the present
instance, in some quarters Mr.. Muir
ply is accused of Diminishing subordin-
ates merely for the sake of filling the
vacancies with his co-religionists.
Meantime the secretary of state con-
tinues the course which duty and the
dictates of conscience demand and
the country will in the end in all
probability be largely his debtor for
the reforms inaugurated.

Enters the True Fold.

In the chapel of the Cathedral in
st. Louis, Mo-, on Dec. 9Th, the feast
of the Immaculate Conception of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, Rev. J. A. M.
Richey, until recently rector of the
Protestant Episcopal church of the
Good Shepherd, Quincy, ILL.,, and foun-
der and until three months ago editor
of The American Catholic, published
in Los Angeles, CAL, was received into
the Catholic Church by Most Rev.
John G. Glennon, d. D., Archbishop Of
st. Louis. Rev. M. J. Foley, editor OF
the Western Catholic of Quincy, act
ed as sponsor at the reception. There
were several prominent priests pres
ent at the solemn and imposing cere-
mony.
Mr.. Richey Is a notable addition to
the long list OF clergymen of the Prot
estant Episcopal church who have
been received, into the Catholic
Church within few years. Ten
years ago he was violently anti-Roman
in his views and his conversion now
is the result of'long and patient study.
Three years ago, when so many Of
his fellows in the Protestant Episco-
pal ministry came into the Catholic
Church, he began to examine her
claims in clearer light, with the hap
py result now accomplished.
AS sequel to the conversion of
the Anglican Wears of the Churches
of st. Bartholomew and the Annuncia-
ton, Brighton, Eng, 70 converts were
confirmed at st. Joseph's, Brighton,
by the Bishop of Southwark on De-
cember %.
In an address the Bishop said that
the converts had made great sacri-
fees, giving up things they loved and
friends dear to them because they
knew that in the Catholic Church and
nowhere else was to be found the
Church Of God. While they thanked
God for making them soldiers Of
Christ, they should remember that
there were others who had not yet
received the same grade, earnest PEG
pie who were still outside the true
fold.

CENSUS FOR IRELAND
Date Set by Act of Parliament is April
End OF This Year.


The preliminary arrangements in
connection with the census for Ireland
to be taken this year have been, for
some considerable time past, engaging
the attention of the resistrar-general
and the permanent staff at Charlemont
house, Rutland square. The work of
collecting, and dealing with the in
formation required for the census has
always Deen one of considerable mag
nitude. On this occasion an additional
inquiry, with regard to the duration
OF marriage and the number of chill
dren born and living, which has been
prescribed by the Census Qreland)
act, 1870" will add to the work. In
England and some of the continental
countries considerable interest is at
tached to the result of the latter in
quiries.
The census day is always on Sun
day, and On this occasion the act pro-
vides that the census shall be taken
on Sunday, the End day of April, 1911.
In connection with the preliminary
work Of getting ready for that day, it
may be interesting to note that over
21a million forms Of inquiry have to
be printed and distributed throughout
the country. The principal form Of in
quiry is the Form "a" or Household
er's Schedule, and of 1t alone there
will be printed almost liz million. Be-
fore the End of April next, one or
more of these forms must be left in
every house in Ireland, and it will
be the duty Of the head of each family
to fill up the form accurately, early
in the morning of the 3rd of April,
1911, and have same in readiness for
collection by the onumerators, who
commence this portion of their duties
early in that day.
The distribution and collection of
the census forms is done by the police
force-in Dublin by the Metropolitan
police, and throughout the rest of Ire
land by the Royal Irish constabulary.
The task of examining the returns
and abstracting the information, to be
published in the various census re
ports, necessitates the employment OF
large additional temporary staff Of
male and female clerks and boy assist
ants.
For the flrst-named posts applica
tons far in excess of the number re
quired nave been received, and the
list of applicants will be submitted tc
the Irish government.
With regard to the Temporary boy
assistants" an examination will shortly
be held by the civil service commits
sioners. The limits Of age have beer
fixed at 1918. Intending candidates
can obtain full information on appli
cation to Charlemont house.
