INTERVIEWIWITH CHESTERTON

ously helping ourselves to one of
Chesterton's choice Turkish cigar
cites, and while the smoke curled
slowly upward we took a quiet mental
photograph of the brilliant author
A Typical Briton.
In personal appearance Chesterton
is a typical Briton, with short thick
set body; round well-formed face
beaming like a full moon; nose,
heavy; eyes, large and dull gray;
and wealth of dark brown hair
which resents brush and comb, for
it stands out hopeless bushy tangle,
as If it gloried in an age-long defiance
of the tonsorial artist. Feet and
hands suggest some form of the prim-
eval mammoth, but the graceful taper
ing fingers indicate the artist, just as
the high square forehead and search
ing look bespeak intellectual strength.
Mr.. Chesterton possesses a more
rapid delivery than the average Eng
lishman; he is a good conversation
alist, witty and serious by turns,
little vain, like Dryden, of his store
of knowledge, a little anxious to have
you bear away the impression that
you have come in contact with a fine
specimen of human excellence.
Admiration for the Catholic Church.
For a while our conversation ran
along technical literary lines of no
interest to the general reader. But
we finally turned to topics agitating
the modern world. Mr.. Chesterton
was asked to state epigrammatically
the principles which guided his tren-
chant criticism of modern men and
things. He replied, quick as fash:
"The fallibility Of human reason; the
necessity of religious Faith" He
enlarged upon these points as follows:
''The pendulum of human thought is
swinging away from materialism and
in the direction of the spirit world.
The materialist relying upon the in
fallibility of human reason has failed,
because human reason has broken
down. There are more things in
heaven and earth than reason dreams
Of Spiritualism in the literal sense
of the term must supp1ant material

vindicated against a number of low
browed philosophers who claim that

NEW PAUL|s7 NOV|T|ATE
CORNERSTONE LAID BY CAR
DINAL GIBBONS-ADJoINS THE
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY . CAM
PUS-A TRAINING SCHOOL FOR
RECRUITS FOR THE PAUL!ST
COMMUNITY.

The cornerstone of the new Paulist
Novitiate which stands just outside
the grounds of the Catholic Univer-
sitY at Washington, D. c., was laid by
Fis -nsnence Cardinal Gibbons on
November 10. The sermon was
preached by Cardinal Farley.
The new Novitiate replaces the old
Middleton Manor which housed the
novices of the Paulist Con
gregation from 1889, when the
Catholic University was opened, to
the present time. Prior to that the
Novitiate was located at the Mother
house of the Paulists in New York.
The new Novitiate is located on a
plot of twenty-six acres of land ad-
joining the University campus. 1t
faces the National Capitol and from
it's windows may be seen the Wash
ington Monument and all the promi-
nent buildings of the city. 1t is built
in the Tudor Gothic style, is one hun
dred and eighty-five feet long and
forty feet wide, with granite walls,
and trimmings of stone and terra
Gotta. The interior is simple in all
it's details as are all the houses of
the Paulist Fathers. The chapel is
large and spacious. The faculty will
occupy separate wing of the build
ing, which has accommodations for
forty students and admits of further
extension to house larger number.

THE CHURCH IN SCOTLAND.
NEW CHURCHES NAMED AFTER
ANCIENT SHRINES ERECTED
IN MANY PLACES.

1t is very interesting to note how
the Catholic Church in Scotland is
quietly asserting it's claim to CONT
nuity with the great Scottish Church
of the Middle Ages. In Glasgow the
Cathedral is dedicated to st. Andrew,
whereas the original Cathedral around
which the city grew was dedicated to
st. Mungo; but the Catholic claim is
still made good, for over sixty years
ago a Catholic Church under the
patronage of st. Mungo was erected
within a stones throw of the ancient
edifice.
In the same district there was a
medieval church dedicated to st.
Roch, whose cult had become popu-
lar in Scotland because much-prized
relic of the Saint was brought to the
Scottish King by Franciscan Friar
as goodwill offering from the Pope.
Five or six years ago, when it became
necessary to establish a new mission
in the district, the long-forgotten par
ish of st. Roch was revived.
The first church established in Pals
ley since the revival of Catholicity in
the West of Scotland was dedicated to
st. Mirin, the Patron of Paisley Abbey,
of historic memory, which was found
ed on the site of sixth-century cha
pei by the contemporary of st. Colum-
ba. The old church at Lanark is per-
petuated in the new Church of St.
Mary; the chapel of st. James in Rem
frew, founded by the first of the Stu
arts, is now replaced by another Cathe-
dral, st. James; st. Brides of Roth
well, immortalized in Scott's Marin
ion,' is now restored in the chapel of
st. Bride, established in 1910. The old
Mother Welp' Chapel is commem-
GRATED by the Church of Our Lady of
Good Aid at MotherweH. st. Winning
established the Ayrshire mission out
of which grew the venerable Abbey of
Kilwinning; KiIwinning is now a busy
town, and nine years ago Catholic
mission dedicated to st. Winning was
established.
Quite the latest example is to be
found in Troon. Here thirteen or
fifteen hundred years ago, st. Med
dan preached the Gospel and founded
church. Thirty years ago the Cath
olics had little chapel-school pro-
vided, which was named after St.
Patrick. Two years ago handsome
church was built and the parish was
dedicated to Our Lady and st. Med
dan. st. COLUMBIA visited st. Mungo
at Glasgow, and, very naturally, there
is also church and parish dedicated
to st. Columbia In that city.

SCHOOL FOR CA7ECHIsTs
NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL HAS
CLASSES IN FOUR PARISHES
AND GIVES FREE LECTURES TO
CHURCH SOCIETIES.

The classes of the New York City
Normal Training School for Cate
chists in connection with the contra
ternity of Christian Doctrine were re-
sumed this month. The aim of these
classes is to instruct young men and
women in the elements of pedagogy
for the proper teaching of the cate
chism in Sunday schools. Working
under the auspices of the Confratern-
ity the school tries to promote in
every way the most efficient teaching
of the catechism.
In recent years there has arisen,
too, a need for catechetical teachers
in some of the Catholic settlement
centers, and in some parishes which
must look outside for English-speak-
ing teachers. Much is being done by
non-C Catholic organizations to lead
these children from the faith. An
organized body of Catholic Sunday
school teachers to do the work is
needed.
Classes are being held at the fol-
lowing churches in New York: ST.
Cecilia, st. Borromeo, Holy Name,
and ST. Bernard.
The Free Lecture Bureau of the
Alumni society of the New York Nor
NAL Training School for Catechists
has been giving illustrated lectures
to the various church societies dur
ing the past two years. The lectures,
lantern, screen, slides and operator
are furnished free by the Lecture
Bureau. These lectures will be given
on any evening or Sunday afternoon

ate in dimensions, is very artistic
and one of which the people of the

ON NOVEMBER 24-NoW LIVES
IN RETIREMENT AT PEORIA,
ILL.

The Golden Jubilee of ordination
of the Most Reverend John L. Spald-
ing, TiLular Archbishop of Scitopolis,
and former Bishop of Peoria, was cele-
brated last Monday under the auspices
of the Knights of Columbus. Pontifi-
cal High Mass was celebrated in st.
Mary's Cathedral, Peoria, by the Most
Reverend Archbishop Quigley of Chi
cago, and the sermon was preached
by the Most Reverend Archbishop
Glennon of st. Louis. The Most Rev
erend Jubilarian, though feeble in
health, was present during the serv-
ice, as were also Bishop Dunno of
Peoria, Bishop Muldoon of Rockford,
and Bishop O'Reilly, former Auxiliary
Bishop of Peoria, more than two hun
dred clergymen and large concourse
of 1aity.
In the evening banquet was given
by Spalding Council, Knights of Co
lumbus, in the Coliseum at which a
number of addresses we're delivered
by prominent clergymen and laymen.
Archbishop Spalding is a native of
Lebanon, KY, where he was born on
June 2, 1910. He made his final
studies for the priesthood in the Amer
lean College, Rome, and at Louvain
University He was ordained on De-
cember 10, 1863, at Mechlin, Belgium.
A few months after his ordination
he attended the Second Plenary Coun-
Gil of Baltimore, and was one of the
select preachers before that august
body.
On May 1, 1877, he was consecrated
Bishop of Peoria by Cardinal McClos-
key of New York. He played most
important part in the establishment of
the Catholic University at Washing
ton. He is the author of many i'm
portant works and is regarded as the
greatest living American essayist
His style resembles that of Emerson.
Owing to increasing infrmity he
resigned the Bishopric of Peoria on
September II, 1908, and in February,
1909, he was appointed Titular Arch
bishop of Scitopolis. Since then he
has lived in retirement in Peoria.

Old Relationship Passes.

''The introduction of the machine
was either the instrument or at least
it's introduction was coincident with
the beginnings of great fortunes, and
it introduced into the world a new
type of man, one devoid of property
and dependent almost entirely upon
the chance earnings of his natural
faculties. He lost that relationship
which existed between the lord and
his servant in happier, if older days,
and was forced into the field of acute
competition where the one less fortu-
nate was destined to suffer and the
whole unit succeeded.

THE SOCIAL PROBLEM

'The race moved on through the
latter half of the eighteenth and the
beginning of the nineteenth centuries
with the classes divided, the poor be-
coming poorer, more helpless day by
day, the wealthy accumulating still
greater power and the great influence
over government legislation, unfortu-
nately not to the credit of the best
wisdom so much as to the advance in
education in economic appetite In
the tendency to organization wealth
was challenged in it's Instrumentation
and the challenge inaugurated better
thoughts and through the later gener-
ations we have been moving from
such unfortunate conditions to better
and more hopeful ones.
