A vigorous campaign is being made
by the University Catholic Association
to increase it's membership among the
Catholic students at the University
and also among the Alumni. At pres
ent ITS students have enrolled for this
year and it is expected that the mark
will reach ESQ by the opening of the
second semester. During the past
week letters have been sent out to the
Alumni who were active members of
the organization during their time at
the university, requesting them to join
the association and lend their advice
and assistance in Strengthening the
society so that it will continue to grow
in the future as it has in the past.
The Catholic Association was organ
lied in the University of Minnesota
in 1900 and was incorporated three
years later. Since it's organization at
the institution fifteen hundred Catholic
students have been enrolled. John

president in order: Geo. V. McLaugh-
lin, John Kane, Joseph L. Murphy,
Frank McPartlin, John Gleason, Owen
McElmeel, Ed. Leach, Frank Good
man, VIM. McHale and Frank Gal
lagher.
The object of the organization is to
create an enlightened mind among
Catholic students in matters of relig-
ion and meet at various times for So
cial purposes. A meeting is held every
Sunday afternoon at four o'clock in
the association building. These meet
ings consist of lecture by some
prominent churchman or layman and
a musical program. Among the speak

THEY NEVER MISSED MASS.

In the Goods acre" of a small town
in the Midlands, England, are the
graves, side by side, of brother and
sister. Owing to circumstances which
they could not change, they had lived
seven miles from church, and yet
never had they been absent from Sun
day Mass.
From childhood to old age, summer
and winter alike, says the Canadian
Messenger of the Sacred Heart, had
they gladly tramped every Sunday and
holy day morning their fourteen miles
seven in and seven out to hear Holy
Mass. Moreover, every first Sunday OF
the month they walked in fasting, sc
as to go to Holy Communion, nor did

they break their fast till halfway
back on the road home, when, sitting
down beside a spring, they would eat
the bread they had brought with them
and drink the sparkling water.
A few hundred yards from their
hating place was a Protestant noble
mans house, and they always prayed
as they passed 1t by for the CONVEX
sion of this family to the Catholic

faith. The years came and went and
the answer to the prayers came also.
The aged couple, brother and sister.
have gone to their reward; the once
Protestant nobleman's family is now
Catholic, and beautiful church has
been built within a stones throw OF
the spot where the good Catholic old
man and woman were wont to break
the fast after Holy Communion. -

It is by the little acts of our lives
that character and disposition reveal
themselves. A severe test is not at
all necessary to find out the character
of your companions-the slightest
win do. Observe their common daily
actions, and you viii have all the
evidence for safe judgment.

of the poor, the sick, the prosecuted,
and the laws consecrated what custom
created. His pulpit resounded with
daily appeals for aims, and we yet read
with emotion the charity sermons of a
Chrysostom, Basil, or a Gregory.
These men created the theology of
almsgiving rather than that of prac-
tical Christian charity, and after fif-
teen or sixteen centuries they seem
faithful echoes of the gospel of Christ
in all it's primitive force and charm.
What pen could describe the charit-
able activities of the Catholic Church
in the Middle Ages-those ten wonder
full centuries during which she was
mother and nurse to the new peoples
that divided among themselves the
Roman State and became the great ma
lions of today?
I'm her countless monasteries the
poor were fed and cared for, the
afflicted were nursed and consoled, the
traveller and the pilgrim were housed
and refreshed, the agricultural arts
were preserved and taught In addi-
ton the ancient charitable institutions
of the Church and her traditions of
social service, though greatly modified
by the new political and economic con-
ditions were kept alive. The State
ordered creation, in which the coarse
and savage individualism of the
northern forests contended with the
civilizing legalism of Rome and the
spiritual forces of Catholicism. It's
prevailing feudalism aided notably the
growth of charitable institutions, for
each of the thousand independent CEN
tiers that detained the high splintered
civic sovereignty created it's own eccle-
siastical works and devoted to them
no small share of public revenue and
private generosity. Christian pity,
that lovely virtue, the root of so much
progress in charity, grew apace under
the teachings of the Church. ever the
same from Orlando to Drontheim, and
as it grew and spread in millions of
hearts a new feeling of responsibility
and affection for all mankind devel-
ly, like some great river of primeval
times, burst all distractions and over
ran all Europe.
''The four centuries that have
elapsed since the discovery of the New
World exhibit a varied development of
Catholic charity. The profound
changes of the sixteenth century, relig-
ious, economic, political, social, called
for new spirit, new zeal, and new
temper in the Church, and nowhere
were these more evident than in the
vast province of charity. Every mis-
sionary who penetrated the solitudes
of the New World was indeed, a herald
of the Christian faith, but he was also
the accredited agent of the Church for
the introduction of her numerous
works of relief, consolation, correction
and encouragement.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-12-28
Development of Catholic Charity.

''And while Catholic charity found
an unexpected development in the mis-
sions of the New World, likewise of
India, China and the Philippines, in
it's native Europe it took on marvel
GUS growth. After the Council of
Trent there arose whole orders and
associations of Catholic men and
women devoted to the relief of the
sick, the destitute, and abandoned. Out
of the century of economic and po-
lftical devastation which Louis XIV
worked in France and largely in
Europe, arose st. Vincent de Paul, the
greatest of all modern apostles of
charity, and when he passed to his
reward his Sisters of Charity were
covering all France with their holy
works; nor have they ceased their
herculean labors until the whole world
is bound by the network of their
institutions that relieve every kind of
human misery. When Whittier wrote
his angels Buena VISTA he may not
have reflected that for two centuries
these angelic women had followed the
battlefields of Europe with their holy
and welcome. ministrations.
I'm the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries the hospitals of Catholic
countries grew in number and eff
cheney. The Hotel Dieu of Paris was
long famous as the chief center of
Europe, and we can point with pride
to the Hotel Dieu of Montreal, as the
oldest institution of it's kind in North
America, the creation of the venerable
Mademoiselle Nance, and yet an active
servant of God and mankind. In
Mediterranean countries loan banks to
the poor were opened that permitted
them to obtain small sums by pledging
their modest belongings at very low
rate of interest, and proved an efficient
Offset to the ravages of usury. Prison
reform, the separation of the youthful
criminal from the aged, and improved
prison architecture, are owing to the
Popes of the eighteenth century, and in
general, despite the wretched politico-
ecclesiastical conditions, spirit of
progress, large measure of efficient
work, and many strong personalities,
mark these two centuries of Catholic
! life, although the Church was at this
time more than ever pinched and har-
assed for the means of carrying on all
her great works of charity and educa-
ton"

We should set a high value on medi-
tation upon the Passion of Our Re
deemer. For a simple remembrance or
meditation upon this is worth more
than if for a whole year one should
take the discipline, or fast on bread
and water, or recite the whole Psalter
every day.-Blessed Albertus Magnus.
