CAT HOL|C FEDERATION
Adopts Resolutions Against Divorce
and in Favor of State Support for
Catholic SchooIs-Meets Next Year
in MiIWaukee-TWo Minnesotans
on Board of Directors.

The American Federation of Catho-
lie Societies at it's eleventh national
convention held in Louisville last
week adopted a resolution declaring
that the delegates "unf1inchingly hold
to the uncompromising attitude of the
Catholic Church in opposition to di-
vorce on whatever grounds"
The resolution was in response to a
recommendation introduced by the
law committee, in which it was pro-
posed that the federation favor a
divorce from bed and board, remar-
riage of neither party to be permitted,
though division of property follow.
Other resolutions pledged the fed
GRAFTON to work for amelioration of
the conditions of work and living of
the laboring man; to fight the white
slave traffic and to insist that "all
schools contributing to good citizen
ship are entitled to equal support from
the state;;" they protest against the
introduction of Bible reading into the
public schools and note the work of
the st. Luke's guild, especially in
New Orleans and Boston.
Formation in the course of the year
of national federation of Catholic
women was practically assured.
Though a committee appointed last
year to look into the proposal report
ed that the sentiment of the women's
organization opposed separation from
the federation, the committee eX-
pressed willingness to abide by the
will of the federation. Committees
were named to get the move into
shape for probable organization when
the federation meets next summer.
Milwaukee was unanimously chosen
as the place for the twelfth annual
convention, to take place next August.
When the election of officers took
place Charles /. Denechaud of New
Orleans was chosen President in sue
cession to Mr.. Feeney, of Brooklyn,
who desired to be relieved of the du-
ties attached to leadership.
Final adjournment was taken after
the convention had raised $4,000 in
half hour to put into the treasury as a
fund for carrying on the federation's
work, had launched movement which
will eliminate next summer in the
organization of national league of
Catholic women, and had reiterated
it's determination to. bend all energies
toward it's labors of moral and civil
reform.
Among the Vice-Presidents elected
are two Minnesotans-Senator J. A.
Collier, of Shakopee, and Mr.. J. J.
Regan, of st. Paul, National President
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

for the achievements of Catholic char
ity.
The Catholic University will enter
tain at buffet luncheon on September
% and "a, all delegates from a dis
tance in attendance at the Conference.
The aim of the Conference Is: To
bring about exchange of views among
experienced Catholic men and women
who are active in the work of charity;
to collect and publish information con-
cerning organizations, problems and
results in Catholic charity; to bring
to expression general policy toward
distinctive modern questions in relief
and prevention and towards methods
and tendencies in them; to encourage
further development of literature in
which the religious and social ideals
of charity will find dignified express
sion.
The Conference does not engage in
relief work. It does not replace Or
CARNATIONS. But it does invite all
active organizations and individuals to
come together for discussion, thought,
information, and inspiration. Confer
ences create helpful literature, make
known proven methods, dispel illu-
sicns, and serve to stimulate large and
correct views of problems in charity
AT the public meeting and in the
sectional meetings nearly fifty papers
will be read by men and women of
prominence in the different phases of
Catholic charity work. A number of
representatives from the Twin Cities
will be in attendance and two of them
will read papers-the Reverend James
Donahoe, city missionary of st. Paul,
whose topic is, Causes of Delin-
quency," and Mrs. M. +. McFadden,
President of the Guild of Catholic
Women of st. Paul, who will discuss
the Systematic Visitation of the Sick
in Their Homes"

CATHOLIC PRESS ASSOCIATION
Makes Arrangement for Weekly News
Service From Rome and From
Catholic Federation.

The second national convention of
the Catholic Press Association took
place at Louisville prior to the meeting
of the Federation of Catholic Societies.
The reports of the proceedings show
that the association has made arrange
ments for cable service from Rome
by which certain amount of authentic
and accurate news will be furnished
each week to the Catholic papers be-
longing to the association. This serv-
ice will be available for those who de-
sire it on and after September 3. In
addition to this a weekly letter from
the Eternal City will be furnished by
the association at a nominal cost.
The Catholic papers represented at
the convention agreed to accept a
syndicated letter from the Social Serv-
ice Committee of the Federation of
Catholic Societies, which will contain
news and editorial matter of general
interest This letter will be exclusive
in the sense that it will be supplied
only to such papers as hold member
ship in the Catholic Press Association.
A part from this no conclusions Of
practical value were reached by the
association. The organization protested
against the introduction of new re-
strictive measures against immigrants,
deeming the existing laws sufficient to
bar out all who would make unde-
sirable citizens, such as the diseased
and the criminal Resolutions were
passed on the death of Father Doyle
and Martin I. J. Griffin; and the Off
GERS of last year were reelected.

THE CHURCH IN THE
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
AN EPISCOPAL CONSIDERATION IN
TONGA.
Letter from the Most Reverend Fran
els Redwood, Archbishop of
wellington.

We take the liberty of publishing
the following letter received from the
Most Reverend Francis M. Redwood,
D. D., Archbishop of Wellington, New
Zealand, in which he gives graphic
description of a trip to the South Sea
Islands. 1t will, no doubt, prove inter-
esting to our readers inasmuch as it
deals with the progress of the Church
in a region far removed from this
western continent, and among people
so different from us in racial charac-
teristics and yet bound to us by the
ties of common faith.
Maofaga, Tonga Tabu.
July 9, 1912.
You will be surprised to receive a
letter from me dated as above. I
must explain why I am here. At the
time of my silver jubilee, on the
occasion of my having spent rs years
as first Archbishop of Wellington and
Metropolitan of New Zealand Can ac-
count of which I sent you in the IN.
z. Tablet''), | received a letter in Wei
lington from the newly appointed
Vicar-ApostoIic of Central Oceania, DR..
Joseph Blanc, S. NJ, asking me to
come and consecrate him here in his
own Cathedral, in the 10Th of June,
Feast of SITS. Peter and Paul.
A Noah's Ark.
Of course | was only too happy to
accept his kind invitation and, accord
ingly, I left Auckland at 1 P. NJ, on
Wednesday, the 9th of June on board
the "Tofua," fine and up-to-date twin
screw steamer of 1000 tons, with an
average speed of 13 knots, an hours,-Be-
ing built expressly for a tropical cli-
mate, she is perfectly ventilated, and
provided with electric fans in the sa-
looms and in all the cabins. The dining
saloon is on the main deck, and most
of the cabins are on a higher deck.
This feature makes them sweet and
airy. Over them, again there is very
spacious and long promenade deck
covered with an awning and suitable
for deck games of all sorts. There
was, however, on the present trip, one
great drawback to perfect comfort.
She might fitly be called a Noah's ark
We had on board about 100 sheep on
the upper stern deck, with many
crates of fowls, ducks, ETC., etc. In
the aft hold about 100 head of young
cattle bound for Samoa, some horses
and well-nigh 200 pigs, seven of them
weighing 1,100 pounds being destined
for the native festivities connected
with the conservation. Hence, at
times, as you may imagine, one got
whiffs, nay, often steady stream of
the combined quintessence of nasty
smells, delightful of course, for the
general public, but particularly so far
delicate ladies bravely struggling
against dreaded sea-sickness. Add to
the above animal lot, dogs, cats, rats,
quasi-savages in the shape of the
Fiiian crew, and civilized men, wom-
en-, and children of various nation
alities and races, and think we had
a very respectable modern Noah's
ark.

Storm at Sea.

All things went comparatively we'll
till we passed the Little Barrier
Island, 40 miles from Auckland, when
we met in the ocean a northerly wind
dead ahead and blowing fierce gale
with high head sea. During the night
the storm reached it's height and for
some hours the steamer had to slow
down, so as not to be buried in the
mighty seas, which, as it was, broke in
vast showers over the bows. The gale
lasted all Thursday with drizzly rain,
really, as mariners say, dirty weather.
Few gentlemen appeared at the meals,
among them your humble servant.
The ladies were conspicuous by their
absence. At noon we had run only
2O2 miles in % hours. On Thurs
day night the gale abated, the sea
went down, and towards morning a
fair west southwest wind set in.
It lasted all Friday with fine sunny
sky-temperature so degrees, Fhr. !;
later in the afternoon IS degrees.
Our run at noon on Friday was 277
miles. Saturday, June 22nd, brought
similar wind and weather.
Among the passengers was an eccen.

spoke a broken sort of English. He

hair flowing over his shoulders. His
