Some people complain that fast
ing and abstaining make too much
of a demand upon their physical
resources. They cannot stand the
strain for forty days. Too often
this complaint is based upon i'm
aginary reasons. They have never
really tried to fast. If the COM
plant be well founded, the Church
makes provision for such cases,
and permits Communication of
the lenten fast and abstinence to
some other penitential work.
But this Communication must be
made by ones confessor or pastor
who alone is the authorized inter
prefer of the law in particular
cases.

A X. OF G. AWAKENING.

In late issue of The Catholic
Bulletin we referred to the cam
paign being carried on by certain
persons in Minneapolis for the
purpose of fomenting anti atho-
lie bigotry. This agitation is in
line with what is being done in
other parts Of the country through
Menace clubs and local branches
of the so-called Guardians Of
Liberty. The same methods are
being used in Minneapolis as have
been employed elsewhere to ar
raign a certain class Of non-C atho-
lies against their Catholic fellow
citizens. Those who are behind
the movement appeal to latent
bigotry and prejudice by trying to
prove the Catholic Church a foe
to American institutions.
To this end they have sent
broadcast copies Of the so-called
oath Of the Knights Of Columbus
an oath which every fair minded
and intelligent non-Catholic
knows, deep down in his heart,
that no man, be he Catholic or
not, dare take and profess him
self loyal citizen, an oath which
no Catholic worthy Of the name
would take and regard himself as
faithful member Of the Church.
The blood-curdling nature Of this
oath is its best refutation. Time
and again it has been proved that
the Knights of Columbus take no
such oath, but the hoary calumny
is made to do yeoman service for
the Guardians and Menace readers
who in their guerilla warfare
against Rome are ready to en-
ploy any kind Of tactics no matter
how contemplate or underhand
they may be.
Let these defamers Of the
Knights Of Columbus beware.
They may find the Knights Of Min
neapolis less supine then they
imagine. Let them take warning
by what befell some Of their
brethren in Philadelphia last week.
On February 10Th, Charles Meg
onegal, a printer of the firm of
Megonegal and Chaffee, and Clar-
ence 81. Stage, a barber, were
arrested at the instance of the
Knights of Columbus and on the
affidavit of Charles B. Dowds, a
member of the Order, and charged
with publishing and circulating
this bogus oath and thus wilfully
and maliciously defaming the
Knights. At the preliminary hear
ing it was shown that Megonegal
had printed the circulars and
Stage had purchased them for
distribution. It was shown that
the alleged oath is false and
that the members of the Order
take no such obligation. Magis-
trate Boyle held Megonegal in de-
fault of two thousand dollars bail
on the charges of criminal libel
and conspiracy, and Stage in one
thousand dollars on the charge of
conspiracy.
In Newfoundland, too, the
Knights of Columbus are taking
an active part in prosecuting those
who are trying to discredit the
Order by publishing and distribut-
ing this bogus oath. On Febru-
airy Is, Charles Swift was arrested
in st. Johns at the instance of
the Knights of Columbus on a
charge of criminal libel for hav-
ing published and circulated a
false form of oath which he al
legged was taken by the members
of the Knights of Columbus. He
was released on bail.
A few prosecutions of this kind,

TIRE CHURCH AND THE TURK
Policy and Work of the Holy See
Chief Issue in Balkan Struggles.

There can be no doubt on which
side the sympathies of a Catholic
ought to be with regard to the con
f1ict that is now raging in the south
east corner of Europe. One has only
to read history to realize that the
Turk always has been and is today
the inveterate enemy of Christianity
1t is indeed strange phenomenon
writes Rev. T. A. Newsome in the
London Catholic Times, that the
Catholic Church which has in the past
won over so many pagan nations to
the faith is powerless to effect any.
thing with regard to Islam The
Church leavened the corruption of the
Roman Empire with her teachings
and when the wild hordes of barbar.
ians poured down upon Europe froro
the North of Asia, the fierce Goths
and Vandals and later the Lombards
became her faithful children. St
Augustine preached to the Saxons and
they gave up their idolatry. St
Remigius appeared in their midst aDd
the Franks submitted themselves to
the mild yoke of the Gospel. The
paganism of the German tribes sue
cumbed to the zeal of the Irish and
English missionaries. The Mortimer
or Normans became the devoted vas
sails of the Church, and even the
ferocious Magyars accepted the faith
under their royal st. Stephen. But
the Turk has never faltered in his
fierce and consistent enmity toward
Christianity.
The Turk an Enemy of Christianity.
His infidelity is aggressive and
blasphemous. AS Cardinal Newman
points out, cit is a mystery but the
fact stands; since the year 1048 the
Turks have been the great anti
Christ among the races of men," The
whole history of the Turk in his re
lations with Christians, whether as
an invading force or as merciless
despot ruling over Christian peoples,
is full of unspeakable deeds of In
human cruelty. The Turk of yester-
day is the Turk of today. He has a
veneer of civilization with all his old
vices underneath. He is not bound
even by the ordinary conventions of
civilized warfare He is essentially a
barbarian. He has not scrupled to
poison wells in times past and today
he does not shrink from scientifically
spreading pestilences among his enc
mics.
/ For centuries the ever increasing
power and gradual advance of the
Turk was perpetual menace to the
very existence of Christendom. The
prayer against the Turk which ap.
pears in the Roman Litany is relic
of the times when the shadow of a
great European disaster rested upon
the Western nations. From the eco
nomic point OF view the character of
the Turk is deplorab1e. Essentially a
nomadic shepherd of the deserts, the
most fiourishing industries and the
most perfect system Of agriculture
will under his whitening dominion be
replaced by a deso1ate wilderness.
From the dawn of history Asia Minor
has been celebrated equally for its
superb natural advantages, the splen-
dor Of its arts, and its almost pro-
verbal wealth and luxury. Today

Next Sunday, March 2. Peter W.
Collins of Boston, well-known as
lecturer on Socialism in it's rela-
ton to organized labor, will de-
liver two addresses in the Twin
Cities. In the afternoon at half
past three he will speak in st.
Boniface Hall, Minneapolis, and in
the evening at eight o clock in the
Assumption school hall, St. Paul
Mr.. Collins was formerly Ma
tional Secretary of the Electrical
Workers Of the World and is
thoroughly conversant with condi-
tions in the domain of labor. He
knows the needs of the working
man and the value of labor unions
as a means Of lettering his condi-
ton. At the same time, he is not
unaware Of the dangers that
threaten the future Of organized
labor if it's ranks become per-
meated with the false doctrines OF
Socialism, and he is doing what he
can, by voice and pen, to put the
working man on his guard against
accepting the professions Of So
cialism at their face value.
All who are interested in the
cause of labor should hear him
He is a pleasing, fluent speaker.

Next Sunday, the fourth Sunday
of Lent, is known as Laetare Sun
day, from the first word of the
Introit read at Mass. Tt marks the
passage of more than half the
period of Lent. How have you
observed the lenten regulations up
to the present time? If your con-
science does not accuse you of
neglect, continue to reap the re-
ward of your fidelity. If you have
not lived up to the spirit, at least,
of the law, it is not too late to
make reparation for past negli-
gence.

what was once one of the granaries
of the world is now almost an uncul-
tivated land covered with vast ruins
of its former grandeur. The tale liz
the same wherever the Turk holds

The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-03-01

The one supreme fact of the present
Balkan war is that it is an attempt on
the part of small Christian powers to
liberate Christian peoples from the
tyranny and murderous persecution of
the Turk. For the most part those
peoples are not Catholic, but belong
to those ancient Churches which CEN
turtles ago were torn from the unity
of the Church.
Still, they are far removed from
Professionals in that they have their
own apostolic liturgies, their clergy
have true Orders, and their teaching
so far as it is positive is that of the
Catholic Church. For them corporate
reunion is always possibility.
Astonishing as it may seem the
Christians of the Turkish Empire ex-
coed in number the ruling race, while
the Balkan States are principally
schismatic with a good sprinkling of
Catholics. The finest of the Albanian
tribes are Catholic and have remained
so in spite of persecution or more in
sidious banishments. In other words
it is again the Cross against the
Crescent, Christ is opposed to Ma
homet. We in Western Europe
scarcely felt the detestable presence
of the Turk. His occupation is an
historical fact to which we have be
come used. Nevertheless the tolera-
ton of hopelessly cruel race within
the borders of Europe and the do
minion Of an infidel over Christian
race is standing disgrace to Chris
tendon. Yet certain section of the
English press is full of sympathy for
Turkey. The question of Christianity
as cause to be promoted is not
often raised in the chancelleries of
Europe. Balances of power and sus-
capabilities of Mohammedans in other
and subject countries are the first
consideration. Nevertheless we as
Catholics ought to have the deepest
sympathy with those gallant little
races who are devoted to the Catholic
faith as they know it, whom tomorrow
may see i'm union once more with the
Church, and who are now making
desperate attempt to set free their
kinsfolk who for years have been the
unhappy victims of the unspeakable
outrages of the Turk.

Washington, d. c.. April 1O.-Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels is taking
great interest In the efforts of the
people OF Florida to reopen the Pensa-
cola navy yard, and put 1T again in
active operation. Representative En-
NETT Wilson, Of Pensacola, called al
the navy department recently and dis
oussed the matter with the secretary
for some time. Daniels said he would
visit Pensacola and make a thorough
inspection of the yard and surrounding
waters on May goth
The people of our state are much
wrought up over the abandonment OF
the Pensacola yard by order of Secre-
tary Meyer" said Wilson. In addi-
ticn TO weakening the coast defense OF
our state 1t threw thousands of our
people out of work and was an enor-
nous financial loss to the state, par
tscularly to Pensacola The yard has
now been shut down almost year,

machinery remaining idle will be very
slight There Is government property
TO the value of over $4,000, 900 laying
absolutely idle at the yard, and con-
tinued shut down is bound to make
this an almost complete loss to the
government. Our people want the
government navy yard work divided up
M oportionately between the different
yards, and not as al present, all con-
centrated in two or three yards on the
North Atlantic coast

nation was gained by Representative

cuss the matter of the removal of Lee
Representative Wilson recommended
to the president the appointment of
Hays Lewis but the president did not
indicate just who his choice for the
position would be. At TIE present the
delegation is divided in opinion as to
the most desirable man for the place
but as it is becoming a well known
fact around the capitol that President

cations cannot reach an understanding
