est Vivo, jam non ego vivet vero i'm
me Christus." He begged them to re-
member as his last wish that the love
of God should SO reign in their hearts
that they might be true apostles in
their families and schools. with
these recommendations, my dear lit
tie children" concluded the Holy Fa-
Their, II accord with all my heart, to
you, your fathers and mothers, your
relatives and young companions, the
Apostolic Benediction." Having chant
ed the solemn blessing, His Holiness
retired to his apartments, while the
pilgrimage sang the prayer for the
Pope.
Austria and the Armenians.
The news that Austria has taken up
the case of the Armenian Patriarch,
Monsignor Terrain, is of the highest
Importance. 1t is understood that the
Austrian Ambassador at CONSTANT
nople is comforting with the Sublime
Porte about his recent action. This
movement of Austria gives a death
blow to French secular influence in
Turkey, and marks the end of the
French protectorate over the Armeni-
ans. It also stirs anxieties in various
capitals in Europe, because, when Aus
tria takes up the cause of the Church
she is usually determined to have her
way, and politicians fear union with
Italy against Turkey, if the Porte does
not promptly withdraw it's Trad against
the Armenian Patriarch. What vista
such possibility opens. How much
would depend upon the defeat of the
Turk by two Christian powers! The
subject races who groan under the in
fdel yoke would be free from persecu-
ton, the Holy Places in Jerusalem
would be in the hand of the Church
the menace Of Europe for thousand
years, a power which may at any mo.
ment raise fanatical Moslem bands in
all parts of Asia, would be wiped
away. But there lies the rub. The
jealousy of the powers and the combi
nation of Mussulman nations hold the
pass. Nevertheless, Austria's gentle
pressure exercised at the same mo-
ment at which Italy is Smelling the
Dardanelles, may result in a compro.
mise, which is to say that Turkey will
see the mistake of interfering in the
religious administrations of the Chris.
tians.
New Greek Bishopric in Hungary.
The Holy See has officially declared
to the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador
at the Vatican that it consents to the
creation of new Catholic Greek Bish.
opric in Hungary. The condition i'm
posed is that in the future, within this
Bishopric the sermons, chants and re.
sponses shall be in the Hungarian
tongue, and the liturgy in ancient
Greek. The new Bishopric embraces
100000 souls of whom 100000 are Mag.
jars. Throughout Hungary this deci.
sion by the Holy See and it's fulfill
ment by the Nunciature has caused
the greatest satisfaction.
Convent and Cell of St. Vincent de
Paul.
The old prison of st. Lazare in Paris
will shortly be pulled down, to enlarge
the station of the Care du Nord. Part
of it is, however, to be preserved. II
would be pity if this landmark OF
the city were to disappear entirely, fol
in this old Convent as it once was
lived that great apostle of the poor
St. Vincent de Paul. His cell still ex'
lists, and will be preserved If not on
the actual site, then in one of the Mu
seums of Paris. The old clock Of the
Convent, which was given to st. Vim.
cent by Louis XIII, will also be pre-.
served.
