OXFORD AND CATHOLICISM
Evidences of the Catholic Origin Of
Oxford-The Inception of a New
/ Catholic Life Seen in the Return of
II the Religious Orders and the Pres
& ence of Catholic Students-Cardinal
Bourne's Visit.

The Rev. Father Pope, S. j., at a
reception given by the Newman So
ciety of Oxford in honor of Cardinal
Bourne, speaking of the losses the
Church had sustained said, according
to. the Sacred Heart Review: "Not
least among our heavy losses has been
the loss of the Universities. To mar
row our view to what concerns us as
religious in Oxford, there are Durham
College and Gloucester Hall (now Trim
tity and Worcester Colleges) lost to
the Order of st. Benedict, there is st.
Johns College lost to the Cistercians,
Christ Church to the Augustinian
Canons; while of Oseney Abbey and
Bowley Abbey, Austin Friars, and the
converts of Franciscans and Domini-
cans, scarce a. trace remains. Our
ancient homes are destroyed or know
us no more, but the Religious Orders
once more live in Oxford living sons
of st. Benedict and st. Francis and of
st. Ignatfus, too; for, alone of Reli-
gious Orders, the Society, having
nothing to lose, positively gained by
the loss of Oxford; it gained, as Oxford
lost, Campion, Parsons, and holy and
distinguished men even down to our
own day. We are resuming
our native place in the city and in the
life of the nation. Oxford, alas! is far
from Catholic, but our eyes behold
some seeds of Catholic truth germi-
mating within her"
His Eminence Cardinal Bourne, re-
plying to the addresses presented to
him On that occasion, dwelt on the
duty of Catholics in the University and
on the progress and influence of Cath
olics in that institution during the six
teen years which have elapsed since
the Holy See gave them permission
autrattend the universities of Oxford
and Cambridge. Continuing, he said:
Anyone looking back over the history
of the past two great universities must
realize that only the Catholic Church
could have created them. The very
conception of such university as
that of Oxford was dependent upon
LHe teaching OIL Lue CuurCn, anu II Was
because the Catholic Church had taken
such complete possession of the uni
versity that all the influences which
afterwards arose could not destroy the
evidence of that possession. And it
was significant that when the divorce
took place between the Church and
the university there set in a period of
intellectual stagnation."

CATHOLIC MASTER OF THE ROLLS
Rt. Hon. c. A. O'Connor, Master Of the
Rolls in Ireland Is the Third Cath
oIic to Hold That Office Since
the Union.

The new Master of the Rolls in Ire
land is the Right Hon. Charles Andrew
O'Connor, who is the third Catholic
to hold Office since the Union. Mr..
O'Connor is fifty-six, native of Dub
lin, and an ex-Senior Moderator of
Trinity. He joined the Bar in 1878,
took silk in 1896, and became Bencher
of Kings Inn, Dublin, two years later,
subsequently serving as First Serjeant-
at-law, as Solicitor General, and finally
as Attorney-General He is a Senator
of the National University, and was
admitted to the Irish Privy Council
last year; while his old school-days at
Clongowes have their memento' in
his Treasureship of the Clongowes
Union. The Mastership of the Rolls
is judicial Office, and with Mr..
O'Connor's appointment, it can be
computed that five of the fourteen
High Court Judges belong to the
national faith of Ireland. He is sue
ceeded in the Attorney -Generalship by
another Catholic, Ignatius O'Brien, the
Solicitor-G General. Mr. O'Connor was
educated at the Jesuit College OF
Tullabeg and Mr.. O'Brien at the Chris
tian Brothers School and the Catholic
University.

WHERE LARGE FAMILIES ABOUND
French a Prolific Race
..sa Now Number SOC, ooo--Large Fam
lilies the RuIe-Encouraged BY the
Government and Fostered BY Re-
Iigion.

IN. Leroy Beaulieu, one of the best
known French economists, recently
said, Give us 10000 French-Canadians
and we will re-people France" In
this sentence, says Eugene Rouillard
in the course of an article on Where
Large Families Abound" in "Exten-
sion'' for July, he has stated the truth
of the situation. France has deliber-
ately restricted it's birth-rate; the
F'renchCanadians have not. AS a re-
suit the French-Canadians have grown
quantitatively as we'll as qualitatively.
In 1854 the last census under
French regime was taken; the French
in Canada at that time numbered
$4,000. Guiltless of any race-suicide
tendencies this number has doubled
every twenty-five years, so that now
the French-Canadians number $780,
900. Of this number 100000 are in
the Province of Quebec; $4,000 in
the Province of Ontario; $4,000 are
scattered through the western Cana
dian provinces and 100000 Acadians
inhabit the Maritime Provinces of the
Dominion. About 100000 have set
tied in the New England States.
When we compare the increase as
regards numbers among the French
Canadians with the situation in
France there is but one explanation to
be made. The French Canadians have
kept the Faith. The early French
settlers had to endure all the hard
ships of pioneer life. During these
early days the French clergy con-
stituted themselves the guides and
protectors of their people. They in
structed them; the sound principles
of morality they taught became inter-
| woven into the very fabric of the
social life of the French Canadians.
Even today this deep attachment be-
tween people and clergy exists, and
the salutary influence exerted is every
where felt.
Thus spiritually fortified, the
French Canadians have victoriously
withstood the forces that have weak
ened others. Their Faith is pure; their
morals uncorrupted, and their home
life reflects Christian ideals. It must
not be imagined that there cannot
be found individuals of French Cana
dian birth or descent who have de-
parted from the ways of their fathers,
but the number is so small as to be
| almost negligible here. The one fact
stands out that the French-C canadians
as race have preserved their purity
and integrity; and in proof of this it
is but necessary to point to the big
birth-rate among them.
In 1890 the Government of the
Province of Quebec passed a law
granting a piece of land to every head
of family that could boast of twelve
or more children. This grant was
later changed to a cash premium
Until 1905 total of 5,414 families re
ceived the premium OF this number

TRIBUTE TO THE SULP|C|ANS
Cardinal Gibbons Lauds the Work of

Teachers Of the Young.

In the course of an address deliv
cred at the commencement exercises
of st. Charles College, formerly
located at Ellicott City, Nd, now al
Catonsville, near Baltimore, His
Eminence Cardinal Gibbons paid the
following noteworthy tribute to his
former teachers, the Fathers of St
Sulpice:
"The arrival of the Sulpician
Fathers in this country is coeval with
the establishment of the American
hierarchy. They were invited by
Bishop Carroll about the time, l be-

and during all that time they have
upheld the honor and dignity of the
priesthood. No stain has ever suIIied
their bright escutcheon. No breath
of calumny has ever tarnished the
mirror of their fair name. I have
met and known SuIpicians of various
kinds, characters and temperaments,
but have never in the whole course
of my life met a Sulpician who was
not worthy of his high calling.

NEW PARIS HE'S
Four Recently Opened-TWo in the
Twin Cities, Two in the Country
Pastors Appointed-Indicative Of
Increase Among Catholics.

Four new parishes with resident
pastors have been recently added to
those already organized in the Arch
diocese of St. Paul, and in the course
of a few weeks two additional
parishes will be opened. One of these
new parishes is located within the
corporate limits of the city of st.
Paul and comprises the territory
which centers in st. Anthony Park, in
the Midway district. Heretofore this
parish has been attended as a mission
from st. Marks in Merriam Park.
During the past few years there has
been a very marked increase in the
number of Catholic families in this
district, and they now feel able to
support a resident pastor and to build
a church commensurate with their
present needs and future prospects.
Up to the present services have been
held. in hall
This new parish has been assigned
to the Rev. F. X. McDermott who for
some years has been pastor of the
Church of St. Plus, Cannon Falls,
Mimi. Father McDermott will take
charge next Sunday, June 80. This
makes the twenty-sixth parish with
resident priest in the city of st. Paul.
A new parish has been added to the
twenty-five parishes of Minneapolis by
the appointment of the Rev. William
Blum of Buffalo Lake to the pastorate
of the Church of the Sacred Heart,
Robbinsdale. During the past year a
new church was erected in this suburb
of Minneapolis under the direction of
the Rev. J. Harrington of the Church
of the Ascension. Father Blum will
take charge of the parish on Sunday,
April A. Robbinsdale is located to
the North of Minneapolis between it
and Osseo. Many Catholic families
have settled in and around it of late
years and they rejoice that their eff
forts to organize parish Of their own
have met with such success.
Outside the Twin Cities two new
parishes have been organized, one at
Forest Lake, and the other at Monte

mission attached to Rush City. Now

the Rev. T. F. Gibbons as it's first
resident pastor, who will also attend
the missions of Taylor's Falls and
Franconio, heretofore attached to
the parish of White Bear Lake. St.
Joseph's Church, Montevideo, has been
placed in charge of the Rev. John
Fahey who formerly attended it from
Renville. During recent years Monte
video has developed into quite an
important center with prospects of
greater growth and it was deemed
advisable to form it into a separate
parish. A new parochial residence is
being erected on the church property
which occupies one of the most i'm
portant sites in the town.
The organization of these new
parishes as we'll as the prospect of
others soon to follow is gratifying not
only to the Catholics benefited by them,
but to the whole Catholic body in as
much as it is indicative of consider
able increase in the number of Cath
olics within the limits of the Arch
diocese. 1t is in keeping with the
history of the Church in the North
west which has been one of unusual
growth and development during the
past half century.
