cANADA,s CHIEF JUSTICE
Is Catholic and Loves the Land al
His Forefathers.

Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of Canada,
is Catholic and was born in Sillery, a
suburb of Quebec, on December 10,
1858. His education was received at
Quebec Seminary and Laval Univer-
sity. After being graduated from the
last-named institution in 1876, he be-
gan the practice of law, and three
years later he was appointed Crown
Prosecutor for the city and district of
Quebec. He was at one time presi-
dent of the Irish Land League of Cana
da. In 1890 he entered the Legislature
of Quebec. The following year he was
offered, but refused a portfolio in the
De Boucherville ministry. On Sir
Wilfrid Laurier assuming Office in 1895
he invited Mr.. Fitzpatrick to join him
as Solicitor-G General, and since then his
relationship to Federal affairs has
been constant and unremitting. In
1901 he was promoted to the post of
Minister OF Justice, where he remained
until his appointment to the Supreme
Court in 1906

from the most ordinary matters of
Christian polity he scared to the i'm
penetrable maze of the divine mys-
teries, proving the perfect accord be-
tween revelation and reason, and dsdem-
onstrating the reasonableness of those
very mysteries which transcend the
perfect comprehension of the human
intellect. This complete synthesis of
Christian economy was so masterful
that it not only cleared the intellectual
atmosphere of every mist of heresy,
but furnished weapons for the utter
discontinue of all future heresies that
might possibly arise. In the words of
Pope John XXI. he wrought as many
miracles as he wrote articles" words
confirmed by the testimony of Christ
Himself: ''Thou hast written well of
Me, Thomas

GIFT TO CATHOLICS
Of GERMANY
Ludwig Auer, Schoolmaster, Printer
Publisher, Founder of the "Cassia-
neum," Gives Product Of Forty
Years Labor to the Cause
of Catholic Education.

We do not often hear of Catholics
giving large sums for purely pedagogi-
cal purposes, says a correspondent of
the Philadelphia Catholic Standard
and Times" Hence when some one,
no matter where, breaks the rule his
example deserves to be held UP not
only for admiration, but also for imita-
tion.
Forty years ago Ludwig Auer was
country schoolmaster. Schnufen-
hofen, the little Bavarian village In
which he dispensed knowledge and
other things, could not be expected
to pay very large salary for the edu-
cation of it's few hopefuls, but he had
talent for writing little things tnat
were read with eagerness by the SIM
pie country folk, and in this way he
turned many an honest penny In 1876
he founded a boys training school at
Donauwoerth, which he called the
..Cassianeum' The little institute
grew rapidly under Auers able man.
agement. An elementary school and a
preparatory gymnasium, a pedagogical
library, scientific collections, tech
nical school, an up-to-date publishing
house and secondhand book store
we're called into existence in rapid
succession. No less than six excellent
monthlies (for Christian
mothers, circulation $4,000, "Schut.
zengel'' (for children, circulation 120,.
000), "Notburga" (for servant girls
circulation $4,000, Raphael" for
young men), "Stern der Jugend" (fo1
students, circulation 5,000) and
'FPharus," founded just a year ago
which is considered by many to be
the best educational review in Ger.
many-owe their existence and almost
unexampled success to the indefatiga
BILE energy of "Uncle Ludwig" At the
close of the last business year the
"Cassianeum'' represented a cash
value of 1,404,670 M, and this product
of forty years of incessant self-sacri
ficing labor in the glorious cause OF
Catholic education Auer presented to
the Catholics of Germany as Christ
mas gift The generous donor has him
self set forth the purpose of the foun
dation, viz, ''the promotion of educa
ton in the spirit of the Catholic
Church, with due regard to the legiti
mate requirements of the age" The
institute is to be Immediately supple
mented by a model training school, the
object of which is to furnish object
lessons for correct home training The
experiment will, no doubt, be watched
with the deepest interest by all edu
Gators.
In spite of his multitudinous duties
and cares as director of the "Cassia
neum," Auer's pen has never been idle
and German educational literature is
indebted to him for several high-class
treatises on the theory of education.

Catholic Events in Europe

The defence of the rights and liber-
ties of the Church and her children in
all parts of the world, wherever such
liberties are attacked. The moral de-
fence of the Church's honor by means
of agents in every place who will take
up and sift, and obtain contradiction
for, every scandalous story published
by the anti-Catholic press, making en-
quiries on the spot, through fellow
agents established there, and bringing
the facts as prominently before the
public as the rumor itself The pro-
vision of a fund to be used in fight
ing legal actions for any Catholics,
clerical or lay, who are penalized in
any way on account of their faith, such
fund to be provided by the small an
nual subscriptions of the members of
the League, which, taken at Father
Dowling's figure of twenty millions for
the Catholic world-a moiety of the
FAC, 900 900 of which that world is COM
posed-would give e1,O0O,OOO sterling
to start with. Other offensive meas
ures recommended by the militant
priest, but which he is prepared to
surrender if the weight of opinion Is
against them, have among them, re-
prisals by boycott of the goods of any
country whose administration perse-
cutes the Church. One of the most
daring and original of the ideas of
the Leagues founder is to form COM
pany which could be entrusted with
the duties of Trustee of Church Prop
erty threatened with confiscation, and
could thus step in with all the au-
thority of it's universal nationality to
demand justice and resist confscation
No one can deny that such an or
ganization as this is needed, and
though Catholics are apathetic in
parts, twenty million is not too large
proportion from whom to expect en-
thusiasm and active support, and
| twenty million is enough to start with.
Catholic Women's League-Boys'
Brigade.
Britain has already done much in
the way of Catholic organization dur
| ing the past few years. There is now
! the Catholic Women's League which,
though numbering only 1,500 members
as yet, is an organization that has
done much to foster good feeling
among Catholic women and is engaged
in many useful works, all of which ii
does thoroughly. There is also the
Catholic Boys Brigade, a pioneer OF
the now famous Boy Scout movement
that has been taken up by the whole
country, and one which does an meal
culable amount of good among ouI
boys during the difficult years that fol
low their departure from school, Fol
this body a new work has been found
by another enterprising priest, Father
Platter S. j., who has impressed the
boys in northern town into the serv
ice of the Catholic press and it's dis
semination, with great success. The
idea is to post boys outside the Catho
lie Church of the district, with Catholic
papers which they offer to the faithful
as they come from Sunday Mass, thus
gaining number of new subscribers
