SUPERVISION OF PARISHES
Cardinal Farley Places Committees
Over Various Foreign Congrega-
tions In His Archdiocese.

Cardinal Farley has inaugurated a
plan for the accurate and systematic
supervision of the various elements
that go to make up the Catholic popu-
lation of the great Archdiocese of New
York. In addition to the Irish and
German congregations, there are twen-
ty-four Italian parishes, ten Polish, five
Ruthenian, two Slovak, one Bohemian,
one Slavonian and Bohemian, one
Maronite and one Syrian. The Car
dinal wishes to bring about within
these different nationa1ities a senti-
ment of solidarity with their fellow
Catholics.
It is proposed to place all the Italian
churches and clergy under the i'm
mediate charge and direction of one
of the Wears General, and the Right
Rev. Monsignor M. J. Lavelle has been
chosen for this Office. He will be as
sisted by committee of priests, in
Guiding the Rev. DR.. Daniel Burke,
rector of st. Philip Neri, Bedford
Park; Franciscan, a Salesian, d
member of the Congregation of st.
Charles, and a member of the Society
for Pious Missions.
The Polish, Slavonian and Hungar-
ian parishes will be placed under the
immediate care of the Right Rev.
Monsignor Mooney, who will be as
sisted by two separate committees,
one for the Poles and one for the
Slavonians and Hungarians.
There are ten Polish parishes in the
Archdiocese, and the committee to
assist Monsignor Mooney in their
supervision will consist of the Rev.
Joseph Dworzak, the Rev. John
Strzelecki and the Rev. Stanislaus
Nowak
For the present the committee in
charge of the Slavonian and Hungar-
ian parishes will consist of the pastors
of the five Slavonian and Hungarian
churches of the Archdiocese. They
will meet regularly under Monsignor
Mooney and treat the affairs of their
parishes.

HERO|NEs Of THE CLOIsTER
Whole Community of Nuns voIun-
tered to Nurse the Lepers at Ira
cadie, NJ. SAN Incident of Forty
Years Ago.

At a recent meeting of the Montreal
Women's Club Miss Guerin delivered
a most interesting address on Jeanne
Nance, the foundress of the Hotel
Dieu in Montreal, Canada.
In an incident of forty years ago
was illustrated proof that the spirit
of Jeanne Nance still lives in her fol-
lowers at the Hotel Dieu. A letter
was received by the then Mother SUI
perior~ from Tracadie, Nova Scotia,
stating that leprosy had broken out
there, that the victims were without
care or attention, and praying that
some of the nuns would come to them.
For time the Mother Superior was
depressed at the thought of urging any
one to undertake mission attended
with such dangers and difficulties as
this must be, but one evening after
vespers she read the letter, explained
the repulsive nature of the disease,
the isolation and the danger of con-
tagion, and stated that on the follow
ing day she would place box on the
chancel steps. so that if any nun felt
such a mission to be hers, she might
go secretly, so as to influence no one
else, and place her name on slip
of paper in the box When the box
was opened the following evening it
was found that every member of the
community was ready to undertake the
mission. The Mother Superior herself
was the first to go, and today there
is Hotel Dieu at Tracadie, with a
home for 1epers attached.

BR|TA|N's CATHOLIC CONGRESS
Movement for an English Church Ex-
tension Society to be Launched
Doctors Burke and Kelley Will At
tend the Meeting at Norwich in
August.

The National Catholic Congress of
from August to 6. 1t will be at
tended by His Eminence Cardinal
Bourne, members of the English
Episcopate, priests and representa-
tives of the laity who are interested
in the progress of Catholicity in Great
Britain. All questions effecting the
growth and welfare of the Catholic
Church will be made the subject
of discussion with view. to extend
ing the sphere of Catholicity and en-
abling the Church gradually to come,
into possession of what was SO ruth
lessly taken from her at the time of
the English Reformation.
Among other topics to be discussed
ing the knowledge of Catholicity to
the more remote districts. Last year
under the direction of DIR. Herbert
Vaughan a motor car was equipped
to travel from place to place in the
country districts and bring the benefit
of religion to localities i'm which
churches had not been erected. 1t
was intended to fulfill the same mis-
sion as the Chapel Car in this coun-
try In addition, a mission house was
opened for the training of priests for
the non-Catholic propaganda. The
success which accompanied these eff
forts made is necessary that some
means be adopted which will give
publicity to the work, provide the
financial support and insure the reap
ing of the harvest thus splendidly
and hopefully sown.
In the United States and in Canada
this is done by their respective
Church Extension Societies. Efforts
viii be made at the coming English
Congress to establish Catholic
Church Extension Society for Great
Britain. To that end DR.. Kelley Of
the Extension Society of the United
States and DR.. Burke of the Exten-
sion Society of Canada have been
invited to participate in the Congress
and help to lay the foundations of a
similar organization in England. They
have accepted the invitation and will
set out for the Congress at the end
Of this month. We await with inter-
est the result of their work to ex-
tend the influence of the Church Ex-
tension movement into Great Britain.
No doubt an Extension Society will
prove as great boon to that coun-
try as it has been to North America.

RELIGION IN EDUCATION
Testimony of Baptist Clergyman.

Many serious-minded men in Pro
testantism still imbued with the teach
ings of Christianity are very notice
ably drifting towards the position oc-
cupied by the Catholic Church with
regard to the perils to Christian faith
abounding in schools from which God
and the Saviour are banished. In this
connection a recent article in the
Baptist Chronicle of Alexandria, La,
from the pen of a Baptist minister,
DR.. A. H. Stone, is worthy of observa-
ton. DR.. Stone writes: ''The true
mental attitude is the product of
Christianity, and therefore only a
optimistic result. l regard it as suf-
ficient justification of Christian col
1eges that they alone sufficiently de-
velop the sense of individuality, the
sense of community, and the sense of
divinity in their students"
8 In support of this assertion DIR.
Stone compares the doctrine of deter
minism, which teaches that man is
mot a free agent, but is controlled by
forces over which he has no control,
with the Christian view of free will
We are told that Christian colleges
teach that man has free will; that
he is not the mere victim of heredity
and environment; that he is capable
of obeying the law of his being; that
he is responsible and condemnable
when he transgresses that law and
does wrong. They teach a proper
ethics-the law Of love and love as
law; the organic unity of humanity.
They teach that our being and the
being of all men are rooted in God;
that nature and history are methods
of His manifestation; that the uni
verse of time and space is rational
universe. The education of the Chris
tian college is the only true educa-
ton, because it alone utilizes all the
means of knowledge, and makes a
complete induction of the facts
"A right education knows no limit
to breadth-it takes in the infinite as
we'll as the finite; in fact, it recog-
nizes no finite thing can be under
stood, except as it is taken in con-
nection with the infinite. And since
Christ is God revealed, Deity brought
down to our finite comprehension and
engaged in the work of salvation, it
holds that Christ holds in His girdle
the key to all the secrets of the uni
verse, and that no education can be
thorough without the knowledge of
Him."
We have here presented to us by a
non-Catholic writer the Catholic view
of education. 1t is one that approves
itself to all Christians who yield more
than a lip-loyalty to the great truths
taught by Christianity. The agnostic
or the materialist will not accept it.
He would not be an agnostic or mate
rialist if he did. But, thank God, we
are not yet nation of agnostics and
materialists. Christianity still is the
professed faith of the overwhelming
majority of the American people, The
anti-C Christian teachings of certain
universities and colleges, and the
| ignoring of God and of all religion in
| our public schools, have not yet un-
dermined faith in the eternal veri-
ties that constitute Christianity.

CATHOLIC REVIVAL IN ENGLAND
cardinal Bourne's Weekend Visits
Arouse Enthusiasm - Forms of
4 Catholic Activity - Congress and
q Pilgrimage-The Position of Nom
Catholics-The Missionary Spirit.

81 The remarkable Catholic revival
which is again manifesting itself in
Great Britain, is emphasized in three
phases which have been attracting at
Etention. The first is the access of en-
4husiasm in the ranks of Catholics
themselves, which has been demon
strated during the tour of Cardinal
Bourne through the Provinces His
Eminence has hit upon the happy idea
of paying weekend visits to cities
which are the centre of Catholic life
in the various divisions of England.
Wherever he has gone SO far, his re-
ception has been most encouraging.
Not only have the local Catholics COM
bined to give him a rousing welcome,
but the civic authorities, in most non
Catholic, have assisted in the demon
stration. The Cardinal in the course
of the address which is the principal
feature of these visits, has also been
able to deal with local conditions, and
while urging upon all the necessity of
work, prayer and sacrifice, he has dealt
with matters of public interest and
current comment, enlightening through
the local press, many non-Catholics on
subjects, such as the recent papal de-
crees and other matters, upon which
views hostile to the Church have
been conceived This he did recently
at Bristol, where he spoke calm words
of wisdom to those Catholics who had
become heated over the Irish question
and were too prone to accept the
views of their opponents that the Gov
ernment and the religion of Ireland are
one and the same matter. To non-
Catholics he also spoke, warning them
to seek from the lips of Catholic au-
thority an explanation of those acts of
the Pontiff or the hierarchy which they
we're so prone to consider aggres-
s1ve, because they misunderstood their
intention and scope.

FINEST GOTHIC STRUCTURE.

The Sainte Chapelle in Paris, built
by st. Louis TX, King of France,
as shrine for the Holy Crown or
Thorns of Our Lord, is the finest
and purest Gothic architecture i'm the
world. 1t was begun In 1912.

Forms of Catholic Activity.

Other expressions of this same en-
thusiastic activity on the part of Cath
olics, may be found in the spread of
the Federation movement, in the in
crease of works undertaken by Cath
olic societies, and in the sudden bold
ness of Catholics to proclaim their
faith, to be seen and heard of
men. As the the first of these,
the Catholic Insurance Society is
now an established fact, and ar
rangements are being made to send
lecturers into the various industrial
centres to explain the complicated Act
to the people. Preliminaries of organi-
sation and expense are now being fixed
up, and it is hoped within the year to
have at least twenty thousand Cath
olics on the books of the Society. Other
Societies devoted to charity have come
to the fore in connection with the re-
cent terrible Titanic disaster. Father
Bans, of the Crusade of Rescue, the
Mother of Nazareth House and Father
Berry's Homes, of Liverpool, have all
offered to provide for Catholic children
orphaned through the wreck. Inciden-
tally, too, that peculiar Catholic chari-
ty which has for it's object the dead,
has been active. Scarcely one section
of those Catholics who went down in
the Titanic, but has had special re-
membrance at the altar. Last week at
the German Church in London there
f%Ys fhNH for
on board the vessel, and couple of
days later, the French Society of Cui-
sinners were present in large numbers
at the Church of Notre Dame de France
in Leicester Square to assist at Mass
for the cooks of the Titanic.
Congresses and Pilgrimage.
In addition to the National Catholic
Congress which takes place in August
at Norwich and will bring together
representatives of all the Catholic or
ganisations, the Catholic Young Mems
Society held Congress this month
at Plymouth. Its deliberations were
presided over by the Bishop of
the Diocese, and Sir Bertram Windle,
President of University College, a
Doctor of Science, Fellow of the
Royal Society and a Knight of st. Gre
CORY, gave the opening address. In
May about eighty pilgrims departed
from Charing Cross for the ancient
city of Bruges where they participated
in the historic and solemn process
sion of the relic of the Precious
Blood, and were accompanied by
troop of twenty Catholic Boy Scouts,
who looked very neat and are to give a
display of their skill In Scout lore be-
fore the Bishop, and the Noble Com
pany OF the Saint Sang in Bruges. This
is the first OF a long series of pilgrim
ages to various countries and various
shrines which will mark the year. An
other instance OF the interest taken In
all that affects the Church, and the
readiness OF Catholics to make some
sacrifice for their beloved faith, il the

FARM BURROWS.
Farmer and Stock man.

Those who have no shed for their
machinery should do the next best
thing, which is to give each machine
good coat of paint when it is put
away for its long period of rest.
There is such a thing as "bad luck
when the big crop comes, but quite
often the bad luck is due to improper
care of the brood sows. AS rule,
the seat of such chad luck" is in the
owners head.
A good way to make a start with
the use of cement on the farm is to
build concrete feeding floor for
hogs. Full directions can be had at
any place where cement is sold, and
if every farm could have a good feed
ing floor of some kind it would mean
the saving of many bushels of our
coming corn crop.
Some one has told us that the best
time to prune fruit trees is when your
knife is sharp, but judgment must be
used. The leaves are the lungs of
the tree and we must operate care
fully.
Sweet clover seems to be trying to
graduate from the noxious weed class
and is asking to be entering with the
other clovers as forage plant and
soil builder. Perhaps it may succeed,
but it has a bad reputation to over
come.
One point in favor of the hollow
brick silo is that it will not shrink
and fall to pieces when the hot, dry
days come at a time when it is emp
ty. This one thing will save the
owner great deal of worrying dur
ing the life of the silo.
Thing is getting to be an old thing
now, but every season finds larger
stacks of drain tile piled up at every
station. There is no better indicator
Of prosperity in a community than to
see teams at the yards loading tile to
be hauled out to the farms.
Those who have planted evergreens
this spring should look after them to
see that the whipping of the wind
does not make an open space between
the trunk of the tree and the earth
around it. A young evergreen is not
a hardy thing and needs the best Of
care through the first three or four
years of its life in its new home.
The price of horses may be little
lower than it was few years ago,
but as long as there are two or three
buyers for every good horse that is
offered for sale there is no danger of
his becoming drug on the market.
Why not have your water tank on
top of your silo? 1t would not only
save time and labor, but by installing

a system of piping and tanks over the
farm, one could have water supply
that could not be surpassed for safe.
ty, efficiency and economy.
The object of the first cultivation OF
any plant should be to loosen the soil
we'll.
Pleasant shade, pure, fresh water,
good pasturage for the cows-these
are the things that make for profita-
Bile dairying.
A little cement beats clay, mud, or
old rags that soon become filthy, in
stopping those leaks in the water
troughs around the farm.
Trimming out the hedge row now,
then again in late August, is good
plan for stunning the growth and
keeping it from growing so rank.
Be sure that all stalls and drive
ways about the barn are so arranged
that there is no draft during electric
storms; also have doors and windows
in the house closed to prevent drafts
at such times. Drafts are conductors
of electric currents, and are apt to
cause lightning to strike buildings in
which they are formed.
The farmer who has learned by
practical experience that a hand
cream separator saves time and his
wife world of work in washing YES
sells to set the milk in, turns in more
cream, and enables him to profitably
utilize the skim milk for feeding
calves, pigs and poultry while it is
still warm-this man knows how to
pity the farmer who still clings to the
old method Of handling milk in pans
and crooks, or fooling his time away
putting it in some fake sepa-
rator that gets only part of the
cream. Then, what is the skim milk
worth that comes from one of these
back number water separators?
Those sour docks, with which so
many meadows are badly infested
this spring, ripen and spread their
seed much earlier than many other
weed pests we know of, and now is
the time to deal them their deathblow
by shaving them off at the surface of
the ground and sprinkling a handful
of salt on the wounded stub. A mat
took, or sharp spade, is best adapt
ed to cutting their tough roots, and if
the job is done during a hot day, the
damage will be that much greater to
the pests.
