DEATH OF MoNSlGNoR WHITE OF
BROOKLYN.

Very Rev. Mgr. j. White, S. T.
D., pastor of the Church of the Vista
ton and supervisor of Catholic chart
ties in Brooklyn, died recently from
Bright's disease in the Holy Family
Hospital. Father White was born in
Brooklyn on September 10, 1870. He
was prize student of st. Johns Col
lege, Brooklyn, from which he gradu-
ated in 1890. He then entered the
American College in Rome and was
ordained by Cardinal Parocchi in 1894.
On his return to this country he was
named as assistant to Rev. Thomas
Taaffe, of st. Patrick's Church, Brook
lyn, and subsequently was appointed
first resident pastor of the Church OF
St. Rita, Ravenswood, Long Island In
July 1904, he succeeded the Rev. VIII.
liam t. McGuirl as pastor of the
Church OF the Visitation. The title OF
Monsignor was conferred upon him
by Leo XIII. Monsignor White was a
member of the State Board Of Chair
ties, director of the Society Of st
Vincent de Paul, member of the
Knights Of Columbus, vice president
of the Brooklyn Juvenile Probation
Association, member and an officer
of the Monday Club Ga Catholic socie
ty of charity workers in Brooklyn) and

What is meant by the Council Of
Trent, and when was it held?
The Council of Trent is one of the
great Oecumenical, or General Coun-
ellis of the Church, as they are called,
because the episcopate of the whole
world was represented at them under
the presidency of the Holy Father or
his legate The Council of Trent is
the last of those general councils with
the exception of that of the Vatican
which was adjourned in 1870. The
Council of Trent assembled at Trent
in Germany in 1916 and held it's last
session in 1868. It was not in con-
tinuous session during all this time,
owing to Interruptions caused by war
1t dealt with questions of Catholic doc
trine and practice which had been
attacked, denied, or modified by the
so-called Reformation and proclaimed
anew catholic teaching on all these
points under discussion. AS in other
councils, so in this, no new doctrines
were promulgated, no addition was
made to the deposit of faith entrusted
to the Church in the beginning. Ger
tain doctrines and practices were more
clearly set forth and defined for the
guidance of the faithful. It's DEGREES
are embodied in what is known as the
Greed of Plus w. The Council also
published many reformatory DEGREES,
instituted seminaries for the training
of priests and caused catechism to
be drawn up. It is regarded as one of
the most important councils of the
Church.

ATHOuC|TY IN SWEDEN
TESTANT PAPER OF STOCK
HOLM.

To hear, in Sweden, any approba-
ton by Protestants of the activity of
the Catholic Church, is very rare, and
more SO when there is question of
the religious orders says a writer in
America" but to speak favorably
of the Jesuits is altogether astound-
ing in the country of Gustavus Adolf
phus, where so little is known about
the Church A recent instance of it,
however, occurred in a very inter-
esting article written in the Protes-
tant Review, Christianity and Our
Own Times" in which the Protestant
pastor, Harald Folk, who is a licenti-
ate in theology, launched forth in a
eulogy of the Church for it's activity
in social matters. The attitude of
Leo Kill, and the principles set forth
in his famous, encyclical, "Rerum No
varum,' made deep impression on
the pastor, and especially when he
saw those principles put into practice
Most of us who are far removed
from the activity of the Catholic
Church are quite unaware of the man
ner in which she addresses herself
to her task, in the modern Industrial
world he said. In order to give his
compatriots an idea of this social
activity he chose the principal indus
trial center of Europe, Belgium, and
set about describing the retreats for
workingmen which are organized
there, which, though very modest in
the beginning, have now taken on a
most remarkable development.
In 1890, forty-two workingmen were
invited to pass some hours a day in
the seminary of Charleroi, in order to
make the spiritual exercises In 1891
they had, at Tayt Les Manages, a
building devoted exclusively to the
work. BY 1908, five more establish.
ments were inaugurated Up to the
present time, $4,000 men have been
received in these establishments
spending some days in spiritual exer.
cises, which, as everyone knows, had
their origin in the celebrated Manresa
of st. Ignatius. These exercises the
/ Jesuit Fathers have been developing
and adapting to the needs of laymen
