THE CATHOLIC BULLETIN, JUNE %, 1912.
A SPLENDID RECORD.

The statement of the work Of
the Propagation Of the Faith for
the year 1911, published in the
"Annals Of the Society is a
notable proof Of the interest taken
by Catholics in the work of ex-
tending the kingdom Of Christ
among those who are not of the
household of the faith. The re-
ceipts of the Society for the year
1911 amounted to $1,454, 845. 81,
an increase of $57, 5O9.7O over
those Of the preceding year. This
is the largest amount collected by
the Society in any year since it's
foundation in 1922.
AS usual France occupies the
place of honor despite the heavy
burdens placed upon her for the
support of her own churches since
persecution robbed them Of their
possessions. She contributed
$6O5, 157.78. Next to her comes
the United States with total of
1921, 234.38, an. increase of $12,-
92O.3O over that of the previous
year. Germany is third in the list
Of largest contributors with the
sum Of 86,112.51 to her credit.
Belgium contributed $71,99O.56:
Italy, $50,651.51; Argentine Re-
public, $48,46O.59; Spain, $44,-
1885; Ireland, $26,823.44; Next
co, $25,5O5.71; Switzerland, $19,-
41O.45; England, $16,594.27; Hol-
land, $13,254.53; Austria, $1O,-
915.11; Brazil, SIS, 1856; Luxem-
burg, $4,840.66; Canada, $4,-
1889; Portugal, $3,815.84; and
so on.
The Catholics of the United
States began to contribute to the
work of the Propagation of the
Faith in 1910, when they sent an
offering of $1,O23.1O. From that
year to 1897, their offerings
amounted to 1898, 1850, mostly
from Individual donations and col
lections taken up in churches.
Since 1897 when the Society estab-
lished a branch Office in Baltimore,
which was transferred to New
York in 1903, the sum Of So, 137,-
278.72 was collected from Ameri-
can Catholics for the Propagation
Of the Faith. Since the Society
for the Propagation Of the Faith
was organized the missions in
America have received about
three times that amount for their
support.

THE REFORM OF THE
BREVIARY,

In letter addressed to the
Bishops of Christendom His
Eminence Cardinal Martinelli,
Project of the Sacred Congrega-
ton of Rites, declares, according
to the correspondent of the Liver
pool Times, that at least thirty
years more will be necessary for
the reform Of the Roman Breviary.
This will, no doubt, cause surprise
to many who hoped that the work
would be completed in the course
of few years. The task imposed
upon the Commission to whom the
work is assigned is no easy one,
and the Holy Father desires to
have the revision done so
thoroughly that neither time nor
labor must be taken into account
where there is question Of max
ing it as complete and perfect as
possible. In the Cardinals letter
the Bishop Of every diocese is
requested to name a commission
to study how far the lessons of
the second nocturn, which give a
biographical sketch of the saint
whose feast is being celebrated,
are historically correct, and to
forward to Rome a report of the
result of it's examination with
reasons for whatever suggestions
it may make. The Congregation
asks that ancient manuscript be
diligently consulted and tradi-
tions weighed so that the part of
the Breviary concerning the lives
of the Saints may be thoroughly
accurate. The same letter has
been sent to the Generals Of Re
ligious Orders and Congregations
in regard to the Offices proper to
them.

with tender sentiments of devo-
ton towards Him Who did not
hesitate to shed the last drop Of
His blood for their sanctifcation.
From the moment that our
Saviour, at the Last Supper,
ascribed to His Blood the same
life-giving efficacy that belongs to
His Flesh it has been the object Of
devotion and honor in the Church.
1t recalls the tragedy that brought
His life to a close on Calvary and
it has always been regarded as
synonymous with His passion. St.
Paul and the Fathers of the
Church praise its redeeming quail
tiles; and many Of the Saints had
a special devotion to it. In the
course Of time the Church sane
toned this devotion by establish
ing festivals and attaching indul-
gences to prayers and scapulars
in honor Of the Precious Blood.
Religious congregations have been
founded whose primary object is
to increase devotion to the Most
Precious Blood.
When Pope Plus TX went into
exile at Gaeta in 1849 he was &C
companied by the Superior Gen
eral Of the Fathers of the Pre-
cious Blood at whose request he
extended the feast of the Precious
Blood to the entire Church, and
assigned it's celebration to the first
Sunday in July in commemoration
of the fact that he arrived at this
decision On the previous day,
June 80. Accordingly, each year
the Church celebrates in an
especial manner this festival and
urges upon the faithful a more
tender devotion towards the Pas
sion of our Lord which it so vivid
ly recalls to mind.

"The Field Affair." the organ of
the Catholic Foreign Missionary
Society Of America, is published
by-monthly at Hawthorne, N. Y,
where the headquarters Of the So
ciety are located, and where the
seminary for the education of
American priests for the Foreign
Mission field is to be erected. The
magazine is brimful of interesting
reading about the Foreign Mis-
sions and deserves the patronage
and support Of all Catholics. The
subscription price is fifty cents a
year in advance. Those who are
unable to make a contribution to
the Society can aid the propa-
ganda by their prayers and thus
increase the fruit of the labors of
the apostolic missionaries who de-
vote their lives to the task of
outstanding the heather. 1t is
a noble work and America must
do her share, if for no other reason
than through gratitude for what
was done in early days by the
pioneer missionaries who planted
the seed of Catholicity on her
virgin prairies and nurtured it
with their tears and prayers and
privations.

The action of the French Gov
eminent in appropriating to it's
own use the property of the
Church in France has made it
very difficult to keep historic
churches in repair. Some time
ago an appeal was made to the
Government by a committee of
artists and literary men for an ap-
preparation for this purpose. So
far the Government has taken no
steps in the matter and the COM
mittee is considering the posi-
bility Of raising national fund
for this purpose. Already the
appeal has met with a favorable
response, in one case at least. A
gentleman, recently deceased, has
bequeathed the sum Of half mil
lion francs for the repair and
maintenance of the historic
churches of France and the con-
ditions under which the gift is
made are such that the Govern
ment cannot wrest it for other

stituted the family the nursery of
the race and the foundation of
society he established certain re-
ciprocal relations between it's
members. By virtue Of this, par
ents are empowered to exercise
over their children whatever au-
thority is necessary for their tenn
poral and spiritual welfare; and
the children are bound to obey
them in all lawful commands.
Where parents and children recog-
nize their respective duties and
fulfil them conscientiously, the
family life is ideal and the sacred
interests Of church and state are
properly conserved.
In the family the parents take
the place Of God Himself in re-
lation to their children and the
children recognize in parental au-
thority the will of God. Where
family life is sanctifed by this
abiding consciousness of the pres
ence of God no power on earth can
divert it's energies from their prop
er channel. Love reigns supreme
and enables parents and children
to exercise towards each other
their reciprocal duties and pro-
mote the common welfare of the
family.
Very different, however, is the
case where parents and children
fail to realize their responsibilities
or, realizing them, neglect to full
fiji them. Then the home life is
necessarily unhappy, the peace
and security Of the family hearth
is menaced and discord and dis
obedience play havoc with its
most cherished interests.
In the majority Of instances
where home life is not patterned
after the ideal furnished by the
Holy Family of Nazareth the rea-
son is to be sought for in a want
Of parental control. Parents who
fail to exercise the authority with
which God has invested them can
scarcely expect to rear any but
hayward, disobedient and unruly
children. Ii the parents, by their
failure to govern themselves, for
felt the respect and obedience Of
their children, then, indeed, is
family life at a low ebb. Such
parents are unworthy to be en-
trusted with the care of children.
But if, in spite of their remon-
strances, their children go astray
they can console themselves with
the thought that they have, at
least, tried to do their duty.
In view of the ever-impending
dangers that menace the young,
and especially girls and young
women, in the larger towns and
cities, one cannot help concluding
that many parents are too lax In
the enforcement of their authority
when one sees the number of BOYS

THE MARRIAGE LAW IN
CANADA.

Since the PRONUNCIATION of the
Ne Temere Decree four years ago
there has been no inconsiderable
amount of discussion in regard to
it, especially in the British Isles
and in Canada. Non-Catholics
have inveighed against it on the
ground that it places a stigma
upon their marriages and raises
the legislation Of the Church on
this question above the civil enact
ments. This contention is based
upon a misapprehension of the
purpose Of the decree, which is to
regulate marriages among Catho-
lies. It's provisions apply only to
those who are subject to the
Church, or who at any time in
their lives became subject to it
by a formal reception into the
fold. The decree does not declare
that non-Catholic marriages are
invalid. 1t places no stigma Of
any kind upon them.
In Canada the agitation became
so serious and widespread that
during the session Of the Domin-
ion Parliament a bill, known as
the Lancaster Bill, was introduced
proposing a uniform federal mar
riage law which would be binding
in all the Provinces Of the
Dominion. The Government re-
ferred the matter to the Supreme
Court to find out whether or not
it was within the power of the
Dominion Parliament to enact
such legislation. Recently the
Supreme Court delivered judg-
ment in the matter which was to
the effect that the Lancaster Bill
was unconstitutional in as much
as the Parliament had no power
to pass a marriage law that would
be binding throughout the Domin-
ion. The Court was unanimous
on this point and one Of the JUS
tees in his decision took occasion
to criticise the bill submitted to
the Supreme Court as so badly
drawn up as to be incapable of
ever accomplishing the end
sought.
In their finding the judges of
the Supreme Court treated the
matter from a broad constitu-
tional standpoint and enunciated
the cardinal principle that under
the British North American Act
the solemnization Of marriage
comes wholly within the legisla-
tive purview of the several Prov
inces. As consequence, any law
of a federal character calculated
to interfere with the rights of the
provinces on this subject, or to
encroach upon their legislative
prerogatives was declared to be
unconstitutional and ultra wires.
This is the main point on which
the whole questions turns. 1t will
now be submitted to the Privy
Council of England, the final
court of appeal in the British EN-
pire, and it is expected that a
decision will be Forthcoming in
the course of a few months at
most.

LETTER TO THE EDIT
HIGH MASS AND REFORMED
CHOIRS.
Editor, The Catholic Bulletin:

Editor, The Catholic Bulletin:
A ruling of Archbishop Ireland, re-
quiring High Mass to be celebrated
on Sundays all through the hot sum-
mer months and at the uniform hour
of eleven o'clock in all Twin City
churches, went into effect on the first
Sunday of June.
Assuming that the sweeping re-
forms and stringent rules and regula-
lions concerning church choirs promul.
gated by our Holy Father Plus X some
nine years ago have everywhere been
introduced by this time, the rule
should be hailed by the laity as a
boon rather than an additional burden.
Under the old regime when the mod
ern American choir,-Catholic only in
name,-held sway, it might we'll have
proved an intolerable burden. In
those days the chief object of the
choir seemed to be to prolong the
service as much as possible. Or, per-
haps, this was the result rather than
the object, the real object being to
exploit the personal accomplishments
of the members.
Where boys have been substituted
for the "acute soprano and alto
voices of women there is no tempta-
ton or inducement to prolong the
service. The boys voice is proverb-
tally "passionless," and when properly
trained, rises in all the sweetness,
purity and innocence of childhood in
prayer to God like the warbling of the
lark and canary. AS the choirmaster
of the Cathedral of Client declared
after hearing the Paulist Boy Choir
in Notre Dame, Paris: 'Theirs are
not sixty voices but one voice. 1t
rises in the nave of the church as if
it were a disembodied spirit" Or, as
the Holy Father expressed it still
better: they sang like angels"
So, too, where congregational sing
ing has been restored in accordance
with the wishes of the Holy Father
and Gregorian Masses are sung, a
High Mass and sermon seldom last
longer than an hour. The longest
Gregorian Credo will not occupy more
than six minutes whereas it was no
uncommon thing in a modern Mass
rendered by mixed choir for it to
last for fifteen minutes.
Another spiritual treat for the laity
which Archbishop Ireland's ruling
calls for is the restoration of the old
time liturgical Vesper service with it's
familiar psalms, eight Gregorian tones
and proper Antiphons, as we used to
have them away back in the SOS when
Prof Zenzius, the pioneer organist
and choirmaster of st. Paul, held sway
in the old Cathedral.
Vespers is the easiest service with
which to introduce congregational
singing and is far preferable to the
so-called Musical Vespers" that have
become SO common in some churches
but have been SO severely condemned
by the present Pope Plus, though he
heartily approves of singing the al
ternate verses in the ''Falsi-B ourdone'
style of harmony to prevent all pos
sibility of monotony. When, however,
the entire congregation joins in the
singing they are not conscious of that
sense of tedium which is felt when
merely listening to some one else and
taking no active part in the service
themselves. Thus we exemplify our
Holy Fathers motto, "To restore all
things in Christ"
