THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
SUMMER SCHOOL
NEW PROJECT A GREAT SUCCESS.

The third summer session of Teach
ers College, Catholic University of
America, which is now in progress,
surpasses in attendance and enthu-
siasm the session of 1911 and 1912. At
present almost 400 students are en-
rolled, of which 371 are Sisters and
"a are lay teachers. These are drawn
from thirty states of the Union and
various parts of Canada. According
to the figures already compiled, but
not yet complete, the religious repre-
sent twenty-six different communities,
who come from forty-eight dioceses of
the United States and Canada. The
Sisters of Mercy are in the majority
of those in residence on the university
grounds.
Gibbons Hall, which was completed
during the year 1912-1913, has offered
such increased accommodations that
| it was unnecessary to open Albert
Hall or st. Thomas College. The Sis
ters occupy all other buildings on the
university grounds, Trinity College and
various converts in Brookland and the
city of Washington. Most take their
midday lunch at the university, finish
| ing the days work at Benediction OF
the Blessed Sacrament which. takes
place every evening at 6 o'clock.
The courses offered this year at the
university are eighty-one of thirty
hours each, and three of six hours
each. The latter constitute the public
| lecture course which is open to all and
deals with Current Educational Prob
lems,' Catholic Men of Science" and
Catholic Educators" These lectures
are delivered by professors of the de
partments of education, Drs. Shields
Pace and Mccormick. The professors
engaged number thirty-siX, most o
whom are members of the regular stat
of the university.
The welcome committee of the Ma
tional Catholic Woman's Circle, who
kindly received the students on thei1
arrival in Washington, have been &C
tive in arranging for the visits OF thu
students to various points of historical
interest in Washington and to the gov
ernment buildings. Saturday mornings
which are free of class duties, offer oc
casion for many pleasant and instruc
tive excursions.
On Wednesday, July 18th, His Emin
fence, Cardinal Gibbons, visited tn

and all of the students were assem-
bled in the Chapel of Divinity Hall t.

pressed his delight at witnessing tn

Sisters and lay teachers in thei
studies. The Cardinal presided a

MASS IN MEMORY OF LEO XIII.
MANY CARDINALS GATHER IN
ROME FOR ANNUAL FUNERAL
MASS FOR DEAD POPE.

Cardinals and leading prelates from
all parts of the world arrived at Rome
for the annual funeral Mass which
was celebrated in the Sistine chapel
of the Vatican on July 20, on the oc.
casion of the anniversary of the death
of Pope Leo XIII A goodly portion
of the diplomatic corps in Rome
credited to the Vatican, which had
left the city for the summer, returned
for the ceremonies. The Mass was
the first one in ten years that have
elapsed since the death of Pope Leo
at which the music of the famous
Sistine choir was not directed by Mon
signor Perosi. The latter for the past
two months has been suffering from
nervous breakdown so severe that the
pontifical physicians will not permit
him to resume the direction of the
choir.

PoNTIFIcAL COMMISSION AN
SWERS QUESTIONS RELATING
TO THE ACTS AND TO THE PAS
TORAL EPIsTLES.

The Biblical Commission recently
issued number of DEGREES with re-
gard to the authorship, the date, and
the historical truth of the Acts of the
Apostles. Also with regard to the
authorship, integrity and date of the
pastoral epistles of St. Paul.
The following are some of the con-
clusions arrived at by the commits
sion:
Considering the tradition of the uni
versal church and other internal rea-
sons it is to be held with certainty
that the book of the Acts of the
Apostles was written by Luke the
Evangelist. The opinion based on
critical reasons that the Acts of the
Apostles is the work of one author
must be maintained. Hence the re-
cent opinion of some writer's that
Luke alone was not the author of this
book is without foundation. The
rather noticeable passages in some
parts of the Acts wherein the writer
passes from the use of the third per-
0Oh 0AhSuAoL W I1C u40L pCA0 pun oA
do not weaken the unity and authen-
ITCHY of the work; rather, historically
and philologically considered, they
strengthen it. From the fact that the
Book closes after the mere mention
of the two years of the first captivity
of st. Paul we cannot infer that the
author wrote another book which was
lost, or that he intended to write an
other book, and it is rightly to be
held that Luke finished this book at
the close of the first Roman captivity
of the Apostle Paul. 1t must be held
that considering the intimacy between
Luke and the first leaders of the early
Church, as well as the perfect agree,
ment in many parts between the Book
of the Acts and the Epistles of St

sprang up in every village and hamlet
in the state, and yesterday we sought
them and they were lifeless and cold
in alternating inactivity. But today
and tonight marks their eternal resur-
rection in this city and the state of
Minnesota.
"The two or three members of the
old st. Paul society tell me that their
organization does not need to be reor-
ganized, and it does not, but 1t sadly
needs replenishing. We have it in

least the name is left. The old guard

the olden days. We need the cooper

TEMPERANCE QUESTION
STILL IMPORTANT
MINNESOTA BRANCH C. 7. A. U.
HOLDS ENTHUSIASTIC CON-
VENTIoN.
Archbishop ireland and Father o'caI
Iaghan Speak.

The convention of the Minnesota
branch of the Catholic Total Abstin-
ence Union of America was held in
the Knights of Columbus hall, st. Paul,
on Wednesday, July 16.
One of the largest audiences that
has ever assembled in the auditorium
was present.
In the afternoon the business meet
ing was held and the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
Father James Donahoe, president; M.
J. Barry, of Belle Creek, vice presi-
dent; Miss Mary Cramsie, of st. Paul,
secretary; and Frank Barth, of Water
town, treasurer.
The evening program was carried
out in the spacious and beautiful
Knights of Columbus hall. The at
tendance was twice as large as it has
been at like events in former years.
This may mean much greater interest
in total abstinence. We hope so. The
fact that Very Rev. P. J. O'Callaghan,
G. s. p, president of the Catholic
Abstinence Union of America, was the
speaker Of the evening brought out a
great many persons. Rev. James
Donahoe, diocesan president, presided.
Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Lawler,
number of the pastors of st. Paul
and some of the clergy from Mime
apolis and elsewhere were present.
Considering the size and quality of
the audience and the prominence of
the speakers, the meeting was a
great success.
Archbishop Ireland pointed out the
necessity of having total abstinence
societies in every parish, especially to
care for the young men. After thank
ing Father O'Callaghan for the prin.
ciples he had presented, the Arch
bishop said in part:
This date marks a new era in the
movement for total abstinence in the
city of st. Paul and Minnesota, a
new era in an age. of responsibility for
others and not one of individuality.
The use of alcoholic liquors in the
homes of today by fathers and mothers
leads to the ruination of many Of the
American children. We have the high
ly popular Juvenile courts which are
said to be doing much good for better
moral training and prevention of crime
among youths. Intemperance is. the
cause of the juvenile court, and IL we
had universal education effecting total
abstinence, we would not have these
Juvenile institutions.
There was a time when st. Paul
and Minnesota were noted the coun-
try over for their number of total
abstinence societies of Catholic or.
ganizatfon. Every parish was com.
munity of militant teetotalers, but
somehow during the recent years these
societies have gone into winter quar-
ters. On the tenth day Of January
1869, we organized the first total alb
stinence society in st. Paul Before
the meeting I was only sure OF one
member and that was myself, but we
started with eighty-three charter sign

To commemorate the completion of
the sixtieth year Of the life Of Pro
fessor Marucchi, the illustrious stu
dent and professor Of Christian arch
aeology, his friends and disciples organ
lied pleasant reunion recently in the

fessor Marucchi letter of congratula-
tion through his secretary, Mgr. Bres-

a gold ring as souvenir Of the occa-
sion. The principal speaker was Pro
fessor Patani, who, in an eloquent dis
course, detailed some of the many i'm
portant results obtained for Christian
truth from the many years researches
Of Professor Marucchi, and in conclu-
sion presented him, on behalf of the
committee and of his many friends,
with richly-bound volume containing
his more important writings, and also
a gold tablet artistically engraved

tion.
Prof Marucchi is the most dis
tingufshed Catholic archaeologist liv-
ing. He was a disciple Of the great
De Rossi, the father of modern Chris

life and talents have been DEVOTED to
the great work of giving to the world

LADIES' RETREAT
GATHERING OF
CATHOLIC LADIES AT ST
JOSEPH'S ACADEMY.

On Thursday, July II, the Ladies'
Retreat opened at st. Joseph's Acad-
emy in st. Paul This was the first
gathering of the kind in ST. Paul, and
it proved a most gratifying success.
Quite large number of Catholic Ia
dies availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity thus afforded to retire for a
few days of serious contemplation on
the great truths of religion. About
half the number present were from
various parts of the Northwest, which
shows the widespread interest the oc-
casion had aroused.
The retreat was conducted by the
Right Reverend Bishop Carroll, of
Helena, Montana 1t were superfuous
to enlarge on the fact that the Bishop
was eloquent in his presentation of
the great and solemn teachings OF
our holy faith with regard to salvation
and the higher spiritual life. His
earnestness, piety, and most pleas
ing manner of expounding the truths
of salvation were potent factors in
making the exercises entirely success.
full. The Bishop, always forceful
clear, and interesting, was at his very
best in this work, and the good that
he accomplished in thus stirring UP
the depths of Christian piety and de
votion cannot easily be measured. The
retreatants themselves were most en-
thusiastic ever the exercises, and each
one declared that she would use
all her influence to make the next re
treat a most memorable one.
The retreat closed on Monday morn
ing, July 21, when all the ladies pres
ent approached Holy Communion.

SAN MARINO AND THE CHURCH
LITTLE REPUBLIC IN BIG TRoU-
BE.

San Marino, in the center of Italy,
is the smallest republic in the world
1t is also the oldest. It was founded
in the fourth century, according to
tradition, and became Independent in
the tenth century. 1t has an area of
thirty-eight square miles, and a popu-
lation of 10000. Now this dwarf has
become involved with the Holy See.
For having, without consulting the
Holy See, promulgated laws arrogat-
ing to itself the power to sequestrate
ecclesiastical property at will and de-
vote the proceeds to non-religious pur-
poses, the Vatican has denounced this
infringement of its rights, and the
Consistorial Congregation has pointed
out the penalties incurred by those
who usurp possession of Church prop
erty. The authorities OF San Marino
are endeavoring to find a mediator
to extricate them from the difficult
situation in which they have placed
themselves.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS

Paul that therefore, st. Luke had in
hand most reliable sources of informa-
ton, that he used them with care and
accuracy, and for this reason he can
claim full historical authority for his
work. The various difficulties raised
against the historical authority of the
Acts are of such a kind as not to
weaken or throw the least doubt upon
these Acts.
With regard to the Pastoral Epistles
Of St. Paul the commission answers
four questions In the first place, con-
sidering the tradition of the Church
universally held from the first ages
and confirmed by ecclesiastical monu-
ments, the pastoral epistles of st.
Paul, namely, those to Timothy and
Titus, must be considered as having
been written by st. Paul and as hav-
ing always been held as genuine and
canonical. The so-called "fragmen-
tary' hypothesis, that the pastoral
epistles were simply made up in later
times from fragments of Paul's letters
which are now lost, and that they
were compiled and enlarged by un-
known authors, cannot be held The
certainty as to the genuineness of the
Pastoral Epistles cannot be weakened
by difficulties raised from the style
and language of the author, nor from
the fact that errors of the Gnostics
are described in them as prevalent,
nor from the other fact that they de-
scribed the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy in
developed state. From historical
reasons, derived from the tradition Of
the Church and based on the agree
ment between the Fathers of the East
and those of the West, as well as from
other reasons, we can hold for a GER
tainty that Paul was imprisoned twice
in Rome; also it may safely be held
that the Pastoral Epistles were writ
ten in the period which elapsed be-
tween the liberation from the first
captivity and the death of the Apos-
tie.
These answers were approved and
ordered to be published by Pope Plus
K on June IL, 1913.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
HISTORIC TABLET WITH FIRST
BANKRUPT LAW, 1000 YEARS
OLD, FOUND.

What is said to be an archaeological
discovery of great interest to scholars
the world over is announced by the
Museum of the University of Penn
sylvania.
It is a shattered tablet upon par
ticles of which pieced together are
inscribed many of the missing laws
from the code of King Hamurabi, who
ruled Babylonia at period estimated
about 21OO to 2300 B. c.
Most of the laws as deciphered re-
fer to financial transactions and one
contains the germ from which, per-
haps, sprang all bankrupt laws of the
last 1000 years No criminal statutes
are expounded.
The tablet, which is believed to be
part of the oldest collection of laws
and precepts extant, was found at
Susa in the winter of 1902 by M. de
Morgan, French archaeologist, and
brought here recently by an expedi
ton of the university from Nippur
ancient city in Babylonia, where the
University of Pennsylvania has made
extensive excavations.
The law relating to bankruptcy
says:
If a man has borrowed grain OF
money from the merchant and ha:
neither grain or money to pay back
but he has movable goods, he shall
give whatever he has to the merchant
