Socialistic lecturers who are con-
stantly at work and realize the
number of daily, weekly and
monthly publications issued on be-
half of Socialism, as well as the
tons of literature circulated among
all classes, we cannot but feel that
there is a splendid opportunity in
this regard confronting Catholic
societies who wish to take up a
line Of work that will rebound to
the honor Of Church and country.
It is true that the Catholic press
is devoting much attention to So
cialism; but there are many Cath
olics who do not read these publ
cations. Such people can be
reached only by the distribution
of pamphlets and tracts in the
places where they work by Cath
olics who are themselves workers
against Socialism. Popular lee

make an appeal to those people
who otherwise may 60 blindly into

SATURDAY, JAN. 81, 1912.

The latest phase Of the persecu-
ton to which the Catholic Sister
hood are subjected in France is
shown by an order issued to GER
tain Catholic doctors to discharge
the Sisters employed as nurses in
their private hospitals and replace
them by lay nurses. The Mayor
Of Cherbourg endeavored to dis
miss the Sisters from the Hotel
Dieu but so great was the cutlery
raised by the people, when they
learned of tn is move, that he was
forced to de ist and the Sisters
are still in 81 large Of the hospital
wards. Whe n will these officials
learn that Ca tholics will not look

cution Of those who wear the gart

A GOOD MOVE.

Assemblyman Thomas F. Mar
tin of Hudson, N. j., will introduce
a bill at the next session Of the
state legislature of New Jersey,
withdrawing from Justices Of the
Peace, the power to perform
marriage ceremonies. This meas
ure will have the support, not only
Of the Catholic clergy, but of the
Protestant ministers as we'll. A
number of the latter have ex-
pressed to Monsignor Sheppard,
Vicar General Of the Diocese of
Newark, their intention of urging
the Protestant clergy throughout
the state, to see the representatives
Of their respective districts and
ask them to vote for this measure

There are other states in the

suggestion and take the power Of
performing the marriage ceremony
out Of the hands Of public officials
who have such small regard for its

they are not averse to assisting al

FAM D US bAS|L|CA
IN JERUSALEM HAS PRECIOUS
RELICS OF THE SAVlOUR'S
PASSION.

The famous basilica S. Croce in
Gerusalemme stands on the site of
the Sessorian palace, Rome, which
was the residence of st. Helena. In
the apse of the church built by her
the Empress placed the precious
relics of the Passion collected by her
in Jerusalem.
The basilica was variously known
as Sancta Hierusalem, Basilica Helen
lana, Basilica Sessoriana, and Santa
Croce. 1t is divided into three naves.
The high altar is formed of an an
cient urn of basalt in which lies the
body of st. Cesarius, martyr; it is
surmounted by a baldacchino support
ed by four beautiful marble columns.
The vault of the apse is decorated
with a fresco by Pinturicchio illus
trating the incidents connected with
the finding Of the Holy Cross. Over
the ancient crypt of the basilica is a
subterranean chapel, which accord
ing to tradition was built on a stratum
of earth brought from Mount Calvary.
Over the altar of this chapel, which
is dedicated to st. Helena, is beau
tiful statue of the Sainted Empress
The treasury of relics is preserved
in chapel close to the choir, which
is approached by staircase from
the sacristy The chief relics are
several fragments of the true Cross,
the title of same in Latin, Greek and
Hebrew, thorn from the Crown OF
thorns, one of the nails with which
Our Lord was pierced, a finger of ST.
Thomas, and the reliquary of st.
Gregory.
Under the altar lies the body of St
Theodore, martyr. Facsimiles of the
nails and of the title of the Cross
| may be obtained in the sacristy. The
basilica is served by the Cistercians
| and is one of the seven Privileged
Churches of Rome.
Before 1870 the Supreme Pontiff

Office here and expose the relic OF

DRINK VS.. DOCTRINE.

Rev. Father Huysman, a missionary
to Burmah, tells of how he and Bishop
Simon witnesses the effects of drink
on the Burmese, to whom intoxicanCs
were practically unknown until intro
duced by Europeans, and how these
devoted missionaries asked themselves
what would become of the influence of
the hottest of religions on people re-
dueed to such a condition by Euro
peans, the followers and disciples of
that same religion? Would the Bur-
man not associate the European re-
ligion with the European curse of
drink, and hate the former as much
as the latter? All, talk of temperance
to such people after you have ruined
them by drink! Does it not seem a
mockery and double insult? What
dreadful thing it will be when the
Great Judge shall investigate response
bilities! And If it be a nation or
government that is in fault, how will
their account be settled?

PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN
CHARITY.

An Aid Society for the inmates
Of penal and reform institutions
in the state of Missouri was or
gained recently under the patron
age Of Archbishop Glennon of st.
Louis, and Bishop Burke Of ST.
Joseph. The object of the society
is to create a fund to be used for
all the requirements Of a Catholic
chaplain, such as the celebration of
Holy Mass, the ministration Of the
sacraments, the supplying Of de-
yotional and Catholic literature
and for the relief Of inmates after
their discharge from custody. For
many years the Catholic inmates Of
these institutions in Missouri never

those who had signed would never
again receive help from the Com

pie Of the town seek relief the
list is scrutinized and if their
names appear ON it they are turned
away without the help to which
they are entitled. Some weeks
ago a poor woman who had signed
the petition out of gratitude to
the Sisters who had nursed her
through a severe illness was re-

way the Government officials en-
