The Right Reverend Mgr. Ben
son, who spent the lenten season
in America, gave his impressions
of the country in a lecture under
the auspices Of the Catholic Truth
Society Of Liverpool, in the course
of which he paid tribute to the
Catholic Church in America. He
referred to her remarkable prog
ress and declared himself i'm
pressed by the sights to be seen in
New York during the afternoon of
a working day when business peo-
pie crowded to the churches for
Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. Religion, he said, was a
very strong element in New York.
There was only one religion in
New York that was a real power
and that was the Catholic Church.
There were other denominations
such as the Protestant Episcopal
Church-the equivalent of the
Church of England-the Presby-
terians, Baptists and others, but
they counted only as social assets.
The Catholic Church and she alone
grasped the American people.

A remarkable record of longev-
ity is to be found in some Of the
rural parishes of France. In the
village of st. Thomas de la Fliche
there have been only fourteen par
ish priests in three hundred years,
the fourteenth being still in pos
session. The parish of St. Ger
main du Val in Paris has had only
three pastors in one hundred years,
while that of Givry en- Argonne
has had but five in one hundred
and thirty years. The present
Cure, the Able Penson, has been
with his people for thirty-one
years, and as he is only sixty
three, he may remain with them
for many years to come unless per-
secution drives him from his post
of duty.

There are in the United States
today more than fifty-six thousand
nuns, including novices. They con-
duct seven hundred academies for
girls, two hundred and eighty-fve
orphan asylums, one hundred
homes for the aged, three hundred
hospitals, and several hundred in
sane and founding asylums, pro-
tectories, reformatories, parish
schools, etc. The first community
of nuns established themselves in
America towards the end of the
eighteenth century and since then
new communities have been found
ed and have enjoyed a marvellous
growth in numbers and in prestige.

THE MONTH OF THE SACRED
HEART.

The special object Of devotion
during the month of June is the
Sacred Heart of Jesus. The
month Of May dedicated to the
honor Of the Blessed Virgin may
be regarded as fitting prepara-
ton for a devotion which has
for object the symbol of our
Lords great love for humanity.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart is
but a special form Of devotion
to Jesus. In this devotion wor-
ship is paid to the Heart Of flesh
in as much as it symbolizes and
recalls the love Of Jesus. But
although directed to the material
Heart this worship does not stop
there. It also includes that love
which is it's principal object and
which it reaches only in and
through the Heart Of flesh, the
sign and symbol of this love.
devotion to the Heart of Jesus
alone, as to a noble part Of His
Divine Body, would not says
the Catholic Encyclopedia, ''be
devotion to the Sacred Heart as
understood and approved by the
Church, and the same must also
be said Of devotion to the love
Of Jesus as detached from His
Heart of flesh, Or else connected
Herewith by no other tie than
that of word taken in the
metaphorical sense. Hence, in
the devotion there are two ele-
ments: sensible element, the
Heart of flesh, and a spiritual ele-
ment, that which His Heart Of
flesh recalls and represents. But
these two elements do not form
two distinct objects, merely CO.
ordinated they constitute but one,
just as do the body and soul, and
the sign and the thing signifed:
Hence it is also understood that
these two elements are as essen
tial to the devotion as body and
soul are essential tC man. Of
the two elements constituting the
whole, the principal one is love,
which is as much the cause of
the devotion and it's reason for
existence as the soul is the prin-
cipal element in man. Conse-
quently, devotion to the Sacred
Heart may be defined as devo-
ton to the adorable Heart of
Jesus Christ in so far as this
Heart represents and recalls His
love; or, what amounts to the
same thing, devotion to the love
of Jesus Christ in so far as this
love is recalled and symbolically
represented to us by His Heart of
flesh.''
The first unmistakable indica-
lions of devotion to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus are found in
the eleventh and twelfth GEN.
turies. During the three fol
lowing centuries it was every
where practiced by privileged
souls in convent and mon
astery as a private, individual
devotion. In the sixteenth cen
fury it began to spread more gen
orally; but did not partake of
the nature Of a public devotion
until the first feast of the Sacred
Heart was celebrated on August
81, 1910, in the Grand Seminary
of Rennes. New life was i'm

VACATION TRIP CONTEST

The Catholic Bulletins Vaca-
ton Trip Contest is now on. For
the purpose of increasing circula-
ton we have decided to offer va
cation trips, free of cost, to the
sixteen young women who secure
the largest number of subscribers
to The Catholic Bulletin, prior to
August II, the date on which the
contest closes. These trips are fully
described in the supplement in
serted in this weeks issue. They
are worth working for. They will
afford many a young women who
otherwise would have to remain
at home an opportunity to see
some of the most gorgeous natu-
raj scenery in America, to view
many places of historic interest,
to visit the principal commercial
centers, as we'll as the Capital
City Of the Nation. Such an op-
portunity does not occur more
than once in the course of life
time. Each trip is an educa-
ton. Each winner will realize
that the cost in labor will be rich
ly repaid by the pleasure derived
from the outing. There is an
equal chance for all; and the
prizes will go to those who make
the best use of their time and in
fiuence.
We hope all the readers of The
Catholic Bulletin will take a per-
sonal interest in this contest, not
only with the determination to
secure a prize for one of their
friends, but for the purpose Of
extending the sphere of it's infu-
ence by making it known to a
greater number of Catholic peo-
pie. During the year and half
Of it's existence The Catholic
Bulletin has found its way into
many thousands of homes in the
Northwest. For this we are CRATE
full. But the field has been little
more than skinned over. It's
possibilities are incalculable. We
need the support of all interested
in the cause of Catholic litera-
ture in order that we may make
The Catholic Bulletin the best
family paper, not only in the
Northwest, but in America. This
can be done only by securing a
large number Of new subscribers ;
and with this end in view we in
augurate the Vacation Trip Con-
test.
A little effort on the part of
each Of our subscribers will mean
much to us, and we rely with
confidence upon them for the CO.
operation which alone will enable
The Catholic Bulletin to attain
the goal which its promoters have
in view. Nominate friend, work
for her, seek the support Of your
friends and the result will be
worthy of the combined efforts
put forth to make The Catholic
Bulletin an ideal weekly news
paper.

THE S. T. G. COMMERCIAL.

At the beginning Of this year the
students of the commercial course
Of st. Thomas College organ
lied Commercial Club for the
purpose of promoting the general
welfare of the department to the
end that it may become more
efficient factor in the preparation
of young men for a successful
business career. The Club affords
the students an opportunity to put
into practical use the knowledge
acquired in the daily routine of
class.
One of the features of the Club
is the semi-monthly lectures given
by prominent business men Of the
Twin Cities, who point out to the
student body the requisites for
success in the commercial world
and stimulate them to emulate the
example Of those who have attain
ed success. These lectures are sup
plemented by debates participated
in by the members of the Club
who are thus taught to think and
talk on their feet. The Club, like
wise, fosters the aspirations of
those who seek to express their
thoughts in literary form.
The Commercial Club makes
success in study a prerequisite for
membership. Only those who have
shown more than ordinary abil-
ity to master the subjects taught
in the commercial department are
admitted to it's ranks. This has
led to a very noticeable advance
in the general average Of scholar
ship, for the students who are de-
ficient in their class work have
made commendable efforts to at
tain the requisite standard for ad-
mission to the Club. Membership
in it is an index Of proficiency in
commercial studies. -
For the purpose of enhancing
the value Of the organization for
it's members and for the alumni
of the commercial department the
Club issues a magazine, "The st.
Thomas Commercial" the first
number Of which has just ap-
peared. It is in reality what
it processes to be-a student maya
zine. All the articles essays,
poems, stories, editorials-are
written by members Of the club.
The serious character Of the maya
zine is relieved by flashes of boyish
humor and playful personalities
which sustain the interest Of it's
youthful readers. In addition to a
well-balanced and comprehensive
course of studies it contains alumni
notes and a list Of the graduates
of the commercial department
since 1908, and several excel
lent cuts Of the officers and mem
bers of the club and of the stu
dents of the commercial depart
ment. For an initial effort it is a
very creditable one and will, un-
doubtedly, serve to stimulate the
interest Of the students in their
work and to cement into closer
union the ties that bind the alumni
to their Alma Mater.

DR.. Rice's resolutions, presented to
and later approved by the Conference,
charges Catholicism in South America
with depriving the people of the Bible,
perverting many Of the fundamental
doctrines of Christianity and fostering
superstitions. On another occasion !
have dealt with the accusation that
the Catholic Churchs deprives the peo-
pie of the Bible. AS to superstitions
fostered, and fundamental doctrines OF
Christianity perverted call for speci-
fications. Specifications not forthcom-
ing / simply scorn the accusations.
Amusing, however, it is, to hear Meth

trines Of Christianity" when we re-
member the recent declarations of a
Methodist minister, Rev. Ernest
Thompson, during suit questioning
the teachings of the Wesleyan Uni
versity Of Canada, to the following eff
feet: that for Methodists the mean
ing of the Virgin Birth of Christ is a
purely literary question; that the
physical resurrection of Christ on
Easter Day is far from being clear;
that the Bible does not prove Christ
to be God, ETC., etc. Will the Con-
ference before its adjournment do us
the favor to enlighten us i'm a unani-
nous profession OF faith as to what
today Methodism calls the fundamen-
tai doctrines Of Christianity?

Mr.. Barrett's Testimony.
Some two years ago I listened in
Minneapolis to an address by Mr.. John
Barrett, Director General of the Pan
American Union, Washington. None
other i'm the United States is so con-
versant with conditions in South Amer
lea as Mr.. Barrett. He told his hear
ers that the people Of the United
States, to their misfortune, are very
ignorant with regard to South Amer
lea, having only scantiest ideas of the
true state of things within the borders
of their neighboring Republics. Among
many other matters mentioned by Mr..
Barrett to the praise of the people
of South America, he made those state
ments: I'm the countries of South
America homes are happiest, family
life most pure and serene; there one
thing is utterly lacking, divorce" For
further exact information about South
America refer my readers to Mr.. Bar
rett, who, though not himself Catho-
lie, will tell the truth whether OF Cath
olics or Of Protestants-a feat of
which Protestant missionaries to Cath
Ollie countries seem utterly incapable.
