OPERA SINGERS IN CHURCH.

There is a ruling in force in
the Diocese Of st. Paul which pro-
hibits professional theatrical sing
ers, no matter what their personal
merits may be, from taking part
in church services by singing in
the choir. That this prohibition is
a wise one is evident to all who
know that the primary purpose of
sacred music and song is not to
tickle the ears Of those who can
appreciate the more or less won
derful technique of the singer, but
to offer tribute of alteration and
prayer to the Eucharistic Tenant
of the tabernacle. This end is full
ly attained only when the in
dividuality of the singer is effaced
and all attention is directed to
singing the praises of the Lord.
When a professional theatrical
singer enters a Catholic choir,
whether heralded or not, the temp
tation to take part in the singing
is very great; and even though a
singer may have no other inten-
ton than that of honoring God,
nevertheless the congregation soon
become aware of the new Access
sion to the regular choir and their
attention, which should be direc-
ted always towards the altar, is
brought to bear upon the soloist
whose singing partakes more or

1t may be we'll to remind the
Reverend Clergy that, in accord
ance with the provisions of the
Apostolic Constitution. "Divino
Afflatu," the use of the reformed
.Breviary becomes obligatory on
and after January 1, 1913. All
priests should provide themselves
with copies of the new Breviary,
which embodies these changes, or
else with a supplement containing
all that is necessary for the recita-

may be used in connection with

INDEPENDENCE FOR THE
FILIPINO.

A bill granting independence to
the people Of the Philippine Is
lands is now before Congress and
those in favor of its provisions
will, no doubt, exert every inf1u-
ence to insure its passage. But is
it for the best interest of the Fill
pinos to grant them independence
now? No greater boon can be de-
sired by any people than freedom
from alien government and the
right to administer their own at
fairs. It is an ideal condition for
nation capable of self-govern-
ment and able to maintain sufficl-
emit authority to insure for it's citi-
zens the fullest measure of liberty
consistent with the exercise OF
their rights. Independence de-
mands a large amount of stability
on the part of the government
with power to harmonic discard
ant elements into a homogeneous
whole. Otherwise. under the
guise of liberty, anarchy will pre-
vail.
Are the Filipinos ready for such
independence? The fact that they
never enjoyed independence does
not necessarily argue their in
ability to govern themselves, but
in their case the problem is com
plicated by the presence of many
tribes more or less opposed to each
other and ready, on the slightest

CATHOLICS AND LABOR
UNIONS.

For some time controversy has
been carried on among the Cath
Ollie leaders Of Germany as to
what kind Of labor unions Catho-.
lies should join. One school Of
thought, led by Cardinal Kopp, of
Breslau, maintained that Catholics
should belong to confessional
unions, that is to say, labor unions
composed exclusively Of Catholics
and, therefore, Catholic in tone
and purpose. The other school,
under the leadership of the late
Cardinal Fischer, Of Cologne,
would permit Catholics to belong
to 'inter-confessional" unions
which admit to their ranks Cath
olics and non-Catholics alike. The
reason adduced in favor Of this
view was the lack Of sufficient
number of Catholic workmen to
form strong unions of their own.
The controversy has just been
settled by an encyclical of our
Holy Father Pope K addressed to
Cardinal Kopp and to the Arch
bishops and Bishops Of Germany,
in which he lays down certain
rules for the guidance of Catholics
seeking membership in workmen s
associations.
In this letter two points are
of Importance. First of all, His
Holiness gives his approval "to
all the truly Catholic associa-
tons Of workmen which exist
in Germany" because, although
their end is to procure tenn
poral advantages for their mem
bers, they are based on the
foundation Of the Catholic religion
and openly follow the direction Of
the Church in all matters having
religious bearing. In the second
place, he allows Catholics to join
labor unions not exclusively Cath
Ollie provided certain conditions be
fulfilled. These conditions are,
that Catholics should, as far as
possible, belong to confessional
unions and that the inter- onfes-
sional unions which they join
adopt no method which is not in
accordance with the rules of jus
tice and right as interpreted by
the Catholic Church.
On these points it may be well
to give the exact words Of the
Encyclical: eve declare that it
may be permitted to Catholics to
join the mixed syndicates exist
ing in your dioceses on
condition always that precautions
be taken to prevent the dangers
to which Catholics are exposed in
this form Of association. Among
these guarantees the principal one
is that the Catholic workmen who
are members of these syndicates
should also be inscribed in the
Catholic Workmen' Guilds; that
il for this they are obliged to
make some sacrifice, particularly
one of money, we are convinced

me MOST ENDURING monument.
Many are the monuments that you
will leave behind you to bear to
remotest posterity the fame of your
broad, keen mind, of your Christian
and generous heart, but nobler and
more lasting than all the works to
which your name is attached is this
institution, for you have given it to a
Church whose solidity has been tested
for nigh two thousand years, Church
which can perish from the earth only
with the race. 1t is an institution
which deals with things that are
eternal and immortal, an institution
from which unnumbered generations
will reap the greatest blessings that
Heaven can bestow on mankind. We
hope and pray that the noble and deep
satisfaction you now derive from this
generous foundation may follow you
and yours far beyond the limits OF
this ephemeral existence, high into the
home of the common Father OF us all.

in Nashville. he let one run get
over in the first inning. And then
he lost the game l to 0, despite the
fact that Atlanta made more hits
than the Volunteers. 1t may also
be recalled that F'leharty furnished
the opposition that day.
Yesterdays game was an exact
duplicate. Fleharty and Waldorf
were the opposing pitchers. In the
first inning the Volunteers scored
a tally. Considered in the light Of
recent games, that one run didn't
look any bigger than a gnat at an
elephant show. But gradually, s
inning after inning passed and
there was no more scoring, 1t grew
in relative size until in the ninth
1t was as big as the moon.
How Only Run Was Scored.
The way this one run was made
was thusly: In the first inning
the irrepressible Jud Daley bit off
a single, right off the bat as it
were. baltimore died in a good
cause and j. Daley went forward a
peg. Welchonce hit one TO Wal
dorf and was retired at first, but
on the putout Daley advanced once
more. Then came that 'decrepit
veteran, Colonel Clayton Perry.
who delivered single and pushed
across the deciding tally.
All the rest of the afternoon
there was rip-roaring baseball, but
neither side could score.
Waldorf the most profusely ex-
ecrated of Atlanta's pitchers, really
hurled great ball. The gusty young
right handler made no mistakes
after the first inning. The Vols
were in the hollow of his hand.
But they had with them their one
run and they didn't need any more.
Fleharty also pitched mastery
ball. He got in a few tolerably
tight holes, but he didn't stay there.
Somehow he always managed to
wriggle out, due in several cases

The improvement this year is in
a better regulated Offense, but
more than that in a superb defense.
The greatest factor or the defense
is the pitching staff. To repeat
the Red SoX have the most efficient
pitching staff in the world. Who
did it? Bill Carrigan.
A dozen would be pitchers re-
ported to the Red Sox this spring,
including those who were on last

how to make the best use OF their

No team can win a pennant with
