words that could be written by the diff
foring principles before deciding which
way was best. These comprehensive
examinations were accordingly made,
Every principle was considered on its
merits alone, irrespective of its origin.
The Standardization Committee was in
tent on finding the most efficient meth
Cd and not merely sOmcthin that would
sound easy and attractive to the un
initiated The work required by such
method of investigation was enormous.
More than a year was spent in cOnpar-
ing tine different ways of writing (by
the different systems) tens of thousands
Of words Whole volumes were studied
to determine the relative frequency Of
disputed words in order to give the
bricfer outline to the more common
word. Never before has 50 thoroughly
unbiased and scientific an investigation
of this subject been conducted by so
large a body Of competent critics. Its
purpose was not to defend a theory, but
to ascertain the facts. Whether or not
a knowledge and publication of these
facts would prove any one system bet
ter or worse than another was not con-
sidered as having any relation to the
question. The truth alone was sought;
consequently the findings OF this stand
ardzation Committee are OF the utmost
importance TO every shorthand writer

The Primary and All-Sufficient Rea-
son is that He May Worship the
Eucharistic Presence of God the
Savior.

We have received the following COM
munication from the Honorable Maur-
ice Francis Egan, United States Min
lister to Denmark, in which he briefly
and pithily states the primary and all
important reason why Catholic goes
to Church.
If l were a Protestant, says DR..
Egan, I think I should go to church
to show in a special way my reverence
for Christianity as the redeeming
force in civilization, and as matter
of decent respect for the Lord of All,
Who elects to receive his subjects and
children on the first day of the week.
But as I am Catholic, I go first,
because am commanded to hear Mass
on Sundays and holy days, on pain of
sin; second, because I believe under
the accidents of color and other out

NOTED JEWISH CONVERTS
Prominent Jewish Families in Austria
Furnish Converts to Catholicism.

A recent case of apostacy for Juda-
ism created deep disappointment in
all Jewish circles of Austrias Polish
province, says the American Israelite
DR.. Arthur Benis, whose wife is a
granddaughter of the famous
scholar, Solomon Loeb Rapport, had
his son, boy of fourteen years, bap-
tized. DR.. Benis is man in very
comfortable circumstances and stands
SO high socially that his only object
in bringing up his son as a Roman
Catholic can be the desire to remove
any obstacle in his future career or
social position.
This is the second case in Rapo-
ports family. The former case was
that of the conversion of his great
granddaughter, Felicia Won Kuh, the
daughter of Arnold Rapport Won
Poarada, wealthy landlord of promi-
nent position, was converted, together
with her husband, who is the son of
a former communal leader in the
Vienna Jewish congregation. S. L.
Rapport, while in his native country
considered a representative of the
progressive party, was as chief rabbi
of Prague, decided conservative, and
strongly denounced the resolutions of
the Frankfort conference favoring re-
form.
A second case which dates back
somewhat further recently came up
for public discussion. The Austrian
minister of finance, Herr Bilinski, is
grandson of one Baron Brunicki,
whose original name was Endel Braun
stein, and whose wife was the daugh-
ter of Rabbi Akiba Eyer. Surely
Rabbi Akiba never dreamed that his
great-grandson would occupy such a
prominent position. Neither did he
expect that a grandson of his, Profes-
sor Jacob Rosanes, would be dean of
the University of Breslau. He would
surely have declined such an honor
had he known that his grandson would
bring up his children Christians.

AN INTERESTING RELIC.
The First Ciborium Used in the Prov
ince of St. Boniface, Man., Presented
to Archbishop Langevin-Was Used
/ in Giving Communion to Napoleon
on the Island of St. Helena.

An interesting relic of the early
days of Catholicity in st. Boniface,
Manitoba, was recently presented to
the Most Reverend Archbishop Lange-
win of that See by the Rev. D. Gillies,
pastor of the Cathedral of Regina.
It is the first ciborium that was used
in the ecclesiastical Province of st.
Boniface, and has unique history.
The ciborium was given to Father
Gillies by the late Archbishop Tache
in 1883. Archbishop Tache had re-
ceived it from his predecessor, Bishop
Provencher, to whom it was given by
the Countess de Nun in whose family
it had been for a long time. 1t is
said that this ciborium was used in
giving Communion to Napoleon Bona
parte on the Island of St. Helena in
1921. 1t came into the possession of
Bishop Provencher in 1886, and was
the first ciborium used in the Cathe-
dral of St. Boniface. Prior to that
time large old fashioned silver
lunette box had been in use.
Father Gillies presented it to Arch
bishop Langevin to testify his appre-
citation of the efforts made by the
Archbishop to secure historic data
and objects of historic value con-
nected with the Catholic church in
the Archdiocese of St. Boniface.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA
Editorial Organization to Be Con-
tinued After the Work is Completed
Will Publish Other Catholic
Works.

It has been announced that the
editors who have had charge of the
publication of the Catholic Encyclo-
pedia, now practically completed, will
continue their corporate existence and
supervise the publication Of other
Catholic works. 1t is proposed that
they select and edit miscellaneous
manuscript of a religious nature. There
is a large and fertile field for such
activity and the advantage Of having
an efficient and experienced editorial
staff already organized is considerable.
A number of valuable manuscripts are
now in their hands awaiting publica-
ton.
The editors who have brought the
Catholic Encyclopedia to it's success
full completion and who have worked
together in perfect accord for the past
seven years are recognized as leaders
in the Catholic literary world The
Editor-in-Chief, DR.. Charles G.. Heber-
mann, is Professor of Latin in New
York City College. The Associate
Editors are: the Rev. John J. Whine,

Monsfgnor T. J. Shahan, President of
the Catholic University, Washington,
and DR.. Edward A. Pace, Professor in
the same institution. Dr. Conde B.
Pallen, the Managing Editor, has had
much experience in the preparation of
modern standard Encyclopedias.
A public celebration, under the
direction of Cardinal Farley, will be
held next month to commemorate the
completion of the fifteen volumes of
the Catholic Encyclopedia.

WHY A CATHOLIC GOES TO CHURCH

ward appearances, there exists the Real
Presence of Christ, God and man, in
the substance of bread and wine, after
the priest has repeated the words,
This is my body and this is my
blood.'' In Church, then, God as Love,
communicating with man, is more
really present than anywhere else. I
do not go to hear the sermon: I can,
as a rule, read a better sermon at
home. I do not go for the music, for
the music is often hopelessly I'M
pleasant, and I can do better with
gramophone, which I can stop when
l want to; but the one great perma-
nent attraction for the Catholic is the
presence of Christ, body and blood,
soul and divinity in the tabernacle
before which the light perpetual burns.
For this great arches are built, splen-
did windows painted, great choirs Or
ganized, and elegant preachers trained.
With all these and without the Euchar-
ist, which is the centre of the Mass,
the most magnificent church is empty.
With these, the humblest shed is full
of glory and miracle.

IN DECEMBER
The Holy Father Will Bestow the Red
Hat Upon Five Cardinals
Created Year Ago.

According to the Osservatore Ro-
mano the, Holy Father has decided to
hold Consistory on Monday, Decem-
Der 2, at which he will officially pro-
mulgate the names of the prelates ap-
pointed to Episcopal Sees throughout
the world since the Consistory held
a year ago.
He will also bestow the Red Hats
upon the Cardinals who were created
and proclaimed at the Consistory held
on November 27, 1911, but who have
not yet received these insignia of
the Cardinalate These Cardinals
are: Their Eminences, Cardinal Cos
Machio, Archbishop of Valladolid,
Spain: Cardinal Anthony Vico, Pro-
Nuncio Apostolic to Spain; Cardinal
Francis Bauer, Archbishop of O1mutz
in Bavaria; and Cardinal Francis Nagl,
Archbishop of Vienna, Austria
These Cardinals did not come to
Rome at the time of the last Consfs-
tory to receive the Red Hat from the
hands of the Pope, but, in accordance
with an ancient custom the scarlet
Biretta was sent to them by a repre-
sentative of the Vatican and each re-
ceiyed it from the hands of his Sow
ereign. At the coming Consistory the
Holy Father will personally bestow
upon them the Red Hat indicative of
the cardinalitial dignity.
In some ways Cardinal Bauer,
Prince-Archbishop of Olmutz and
Duke of Hatzenplate, is the most in
teresting parsonage among these five
members of the Sacred College Born
at Cracow, Moravia, the young noble
man was raised to the priesthood in
1868, being then in his twenty-third
year. After the lapse of a year passed
as simple chaplain, he was named
professor of theology at Olmutz, and
in 1873 he became professor Of Bib
lical studies at the University of
Prague Here Cardinal Schwarzen-
berg appointed him rector of the sem
mary, post he filed with such dis
tinction that he was consecrated
Bishop of Brun in 1882. This diocese
lost its noble Bishop in 1904, when
Plus Z translated him to the Archi-
episcopal see of Olmutz. The Prince
Bishop of Olmutz is private councillor
to the Emperor OF Austria and mem
Der of the Senate Of Austria.

CONVERSIONS IN ULSTER
A Number of Prominent Non-CathoIics
Have Lately Turned to the Catholic
Church.

Ulster has never been Protestant,
as claimed by the Orange party, and
it appears it is becoming less 80 than
ever, fact attributed to influences
about which a special correspondent
of the Brooklyn Eagle, writing from
Dublin, thus tells: a
There are indications that the re-
cent Orange outbursts in Ulster will
result in Strengthening the Roman
Catholic forces in that Province. Dur
ing the last year or two members Of
some of the most Influential Protest
ant families have gone over to Rome
as a protest against the fanaticism
that has made Belfast notorious for
religious tolerance. The Hon. VIII
liam Gibson, son of Lord Ashbourne,
an Irish Lord Chancellor, went over"
some nine or ten years ago. His sis
ter followed and became a nun, and
since then there has been a steady in
flux of converts from the Protestant
and Presbyterian Churches.
Hugh Law, the Nationalist M. p. for
West Donegal, is the latest OF these
influential Ulster men to embrace the
Roman Catholic faith Shane Leslie,
who recently married an American
girl, is another FISHERMAN who not
only renounced Professionalism, but
threw himself whole-heartedly into the
Gaelic movement, like the AshbOurne
heir, and is. at the moment q potent
force for the conversion OF his North
ern friends. It is estimated that no
less than three hundred men and
women of good standing in Ulster
have become converts within the last
six months.

this time Jerusalem had been inhab-
tied as city we have no means of
telling.
Standing on an elevated plateau on
the summit of the ridge of the Judaean
mountains, Jerusalem, as long as peo-
pie Inhabited that part of the coun-
try, was an inviting place to build a
city. Hence it is probable that the
city of Jerusalem was built as soon
as people came into the neighborhood.
Who the first of these people were we
do not know
When Abraham entered the land he
found there people called Canaan
ites," closely related to the Amorites,
as the similarity of their languages
prove, according to the opinion of
Oriental scholars. The Canaanites
were probably branch of the Amor
ties; the Amorites dwelt along the
Lebanon mountains, and the Canaan
ties, on the neighboring low lands.
In 1909 Albert T. Clay, professor of
Semitic Philology and Archaeology in
the University of Pennsylvania, pub
lished book very interesting to stu
dents of Oriental Archaeology on
"Amurru, the Home of the Northern
Semites." In this book he endeavors
to prove that the religion and culture
of Israel were not of Babylonian ori-
gin, as often claimed, but that the
Semites of Amurru and Aram had i'm
ported their religion and culture into
Babylonia long before Abraham, SLOW
ly but effectually crowding out the
the older inhabitants of
If this view prove correct, Syria and
Palestine must have been inhabited
long before Abraham's day, and Jeru-
salem with it's natural advantages for
a well-defended city must have been
inhabited since people lived in the
neighborhood.
Jerusalem is not only the most
widely revered city of the world, it
may also be the most ancient of all
cities still inhabited.

CATHOLIC BENEFACT TORS
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas =. Ryan Have
Given $4,000 900 for Religious
Purposes.

Last week we announced that the
New York, the headquarters of the
Fathers of the Blessed Sacrament in
the United States, is the gift of Thorn
as F. Ryan, the we'll known financier
He and his wife are probably, the
most generous benefactors of the Ca
tholic Church in America; and their
example ought to encourage other
wealthy Catholics to contribute por-
tion of their riches to the advancement
of the interest of the Church and the
promotion of the enterprises and prof.
ects which she has on hand.
The following incomplete list of the
benefactions of Mr. and Mrs. Ryan

thedral. In a corresponding niche on
the left, similar figure of st. Peter,
fifteen feet high, is now being carved.
In the pediment above the large arch
of the rose window the figures of
Christ and his Apostles will be
chiseled out of the large blocks of
granite built into the front of the
Cathedral. This work is being done
by Mr.. F. A. Purdy of Detroit, from
models made by Bell and Hermant of
Chicago. All the plaster models for
these figures and groupings cost fifteen
thousand dollars, and over seventeen
thousand will be paid for the work of
carving the figures in relief. All will
form part of the facade of the Cathe-
dral. They are built into it and har-
monize with it's architectural plan. In
the group of Christ and the Apostles,
our Saviour is shown in the center
giving them the charter of their apos-
tleship in the words, "Go ye into the
whole world and preach the Gospel to
every creature"
1t is expected that the work of carv-
ing the remaining figures will be COM
pleted by the middle of next summer.
At that time the contract for the
roof of the main building, the dome,
and the chapels, will be let and thus
the completion of the exterior of the
Cathedral will be provided for. AS
soon as possible thereafter the in
terror will be put in shape for the
opening of the sacred edifice to divine
service.
Nearly a Million Dollars Already
Expended.
1t is gratifying to know that up to
the present time sufficient funds have
been forthcoming from the Catholics
of the diocese to carry the Cathedral
to it's present state of completion.
No debts have been incurred. Over
100000 has been collected and ex-
pended 1t is not unlikely that the
assurance which the progress made
up to the present gives that the Ca
,thedral will be completed in the course
of couple of years, will stimulate
generous Catholics to contribute more
literally towards the project in order
that the sacred edifce may soon be
rendered occupable.
The citizens of st. Paul, irrespective
of creed, realize that the new Cathe-
dral will be a work of art, an archi-
tectural gem gracing the brow of the
city and visible for miles in all direc-
tions. They take a legitimate pride
in the fact that it will add lustre
to the fair name of their city, and
they have shown their appreciation
of this undertaking by raising the
sum of one hundred thousand dollars
as their contribution towards the
work.

1t is interesting to note the rapid
progress made in the construction of
the new Cathedral of st. Paul, work
in which Catholics especially are in
tensely interested. The walls all
around have been brought up to the
parapet, a height of eighty feet above
the floor, with the exception of the
facade, the parapet of which is nine
feet higher. They are now ready to
receive the massive girders which will
support the roof, the contract for
granite portions of the magnificent
dome and the twin towers in front are
finished. This part of the construction
work is now being done by the con-
tractors, Hoy, and Ely. 1t calls for
an expenditure of about ninety-fve
thousand dollars, and will be COM
pleted during the course of next sum-
mer.
In few weeks the twin towers that
grace the facade of the Cathedral will
be finished with the exception of their
coppered roofs. The topmost point of
each tower will be one hundred and
sixty-one feet above the main floor.
The granite portion resting upon the
parapet is forty-five feet high with
large arched openings in each of it's
four sides. These openings are
guarded with a balustrade six and
half feet high. The be11-shaped roof
will be coppered and topped with a
large ball of FURNISHED metal. Pro-
vision is made inside the towers for
chime of bells, should it be deemed
advisable, later on, to install them
