CATHOLIC COLLEGES
Have Large Attendance During Past
Aear.-o+--.

The statistics of the attendance at
Catholic colleges for the year 1910 are
encouraging. They show that Cath
olics are awake to the dangers that
await the young students in the secu-
lar institutions OF learning
Since the exposure of the undermin-
ing of faith, SO prevalent in non-C Cath
olic colleges, the attendance at the
Catholic colleges has materially in
creased. The same favorable reports
on attendance come from all the Cath
olic colleges, showing that it is no
merely local cause which is at work,
but deep-scated and general convic-
tion.
! We append the attendance statitics
for the leading Catholic colleges of
the country:

move has lost most of its old terrors
for the English masses it is evident
The fight will be extremely bitter in
the next three years, and that the
house OF commons must have the
fiercest, most prolonged and most de-
vastating fight for two generations.
Already the number OF public men
on the sick list Is unprecedented, and
more will be added every month.
But the situation still remains with
out cloud on the Liberal and Irish
the Tories reveal the desperation OF
their fortunes. 1t is a prospect OF
grim, prolonged, and exhausting fight,
and probably the mortality in the
house Of commons in the next three
years viii! mount to high figures but
Ireland is worth it all.
A little personal episode was added
to the fight when Miss Joanna Red
mond won big successes. She was
by all parties and all papers.
Churchill Wins Favor.
Something is happening in the at
titude of the British public to Mr..
Winston Churchill which is not sulIi-
GENTLY described by the statement
that he is making great progress in
political reputation. The change is
larger and more subtle. 1t would be
described correctly as meaning that
Mr.. Churchill is beginning to be bet
ter understood more correctly.
First, as to this gradual change in
the attitude OF the public, and espe-
cially Of the house of commons pub
lie, toward the mortal qualities OF Mr.
Churchill, it is beginning to regard
him less as a swashbuckler and more
as a great, original and profound po.
litical thinker.

Responsibility.

A brilliant young man was rccehIly
convicted of approriating to his own
use money from the city treasury
while he was president of the COM
mon council of his city. In plead
ing for light sentence his attorney
said: "He was a young man win
as good future opening to him as
was given to any young man in our
city, At twenty-five years OF age he
was acting mayor, and no one has
ever risen to say that during his IN
cumbency of that place he did aught
but right. But by the act which ne
has now committed he has forever
branded himself. He has driven
himself from every political Office,
he has no profession, he has no
trade; he must live upon a small in,
come as a clerk, and he has a wife,
children and mother dependent
upon him."
A leading newspaper, in comment
ing on this incident, asks who is to
blame for it, and proceeds to lay
the blame largely upon Society
Society, the claim was made, did
this young man a gross injustice
when it took him, without a trade,
without profession, with no we'll
established moral principle, ana
made him a public official in a place
of tempting opportunity for graft. Is
that true? Does the blame rest upon
society rather than upon the shoul-
ders of the young man himself?
The great responsibilities OF life
are a crown, not a chain; they are a
call to self-sacritice, not hint to
make the most profit possible out OF
our opportunities; they are a banner
to be flung to the breeze, not to be
trailed in the dust; they make of
genuine manhood leadership, not
dispensary of graft-a leadership
that glories in responsibility and CON-
pels those who behold it to admire

shamrock to illustrate the meaning of
the Trinity. Then was established
that other trinity, st. Patrick, Ireland
and the Shamrock.
From that day forth st. Patrick's
mission in Ireland was a mission of
accommodating successes. He perform
ed many miracles. One of the magi
clans was miraculously struck to the
ground at the prayer Of the Saint for
having blasphemed the Catholic Faith;
he burned the books of the Druids and
even raised the dead to life. He
preached, taught, converted and bap-
tized. The idol worshippers gladly
cast away their idols to assist at the
sacrifice of the Mass, once they un-
derstood its significance. The Saint
made a tour of the entire island con-
verting princes, chiefs and peasants.
He spent seven years in Connaught
where he made thousands of converts
and built churches and chapels. He
visited Munster, Leinster and Ulster,
doing the same noble work for Chris
tianity in each of these provinces. In
Leinster while baptizing chief the
Saints steel piked pointed crozier
rested on his converts foot. The
Saint, not knowing it, leaned on his
crozier, causing it to penetrate into
the flesh. The pious chief, thinking
this to be part Of the ceremony,
never f1inched or murmured.
Subhal in Ulster was St. Patrick's
favorite place. At Armagh he built a
monastery. 1t is said that St. Patrick,
struck by the appropriateness of a
certain site for his monastery, asked
the owner for possession of it. The
owner, however, refused. Later he
sent to St. Patrick a costly present
which st. Patrick accepted with the
Latin words "Gratias again. Il thank
you). The nobleman, not understand
ing Latin, did not think that he had
received much consideration for his

ants to go and bring back the gift.
The servants went and when they
we're bearing away the article st. Pat
rick again said *'Gratias again." When
the nobleman was Informed Of this he
was struck by the humility of the
Saint who took no offense at seeing
the gift carried away. He ordered the
servants to return it again and In addl'
, ton he gave St. Patrick the site he
wanted for his monastery.
st. Patrick died on March IL. 495,
at the age of one hundred and twenty
five years. He lived a noble life and
died as one entering a restful sleep

the value OF New England and Now

reciprocity program had its innings

replied to the recent speech of Repre-

marching side by side with the enemy.
Gudger asserted that reciprocity was
not a Democratic but a Republican
policy. He was given an opportunity
to make the speech by Chairman I'm
derwood, but he received applause only
from the Republican side The six
Democratic insurgents say that their
strength will be increased to nine or
ten against reciprocity when the final
vote is reached.
