OF LORE77O
FINEST RELIGIOUS FREscoEs IN
THE WoRLD-THosE OF sLAV
CHAPEL REPRESENT SCENES IN
LIVES OF SIS. CYRIL, AND ME-
THoDIUS.

The Commission of the Universal
Congregation of Loretto for the COM
pletion of the interior decorations of
the magnificent basilica, in which
stands the Holy House of Nazareth,
is steadily continuing it's work under
the presidency of the Bishop of Rec
onati and Loreti, Monsignor Alfonso
Maria Andreoli.
The famous shrine of Our Lady has
most probably the finest specimens of
modern religious frescoes now exist
ing. The marvellous work in the
dome, which was executed by the dis
tinguished Roman artist, Commenda-
tore Cesare Maccari, illustrating the
whole litany of the Blessed Virgin, is
universally admired.
Further artistic treasure was re-
vealed, when the Slav chapel was
blessed and opened for religious serv-
ices by the Bishop of the diocese,
in the presence of notable gather
ing of clergymen, artists, and patrons
of art. The decorations had been en-
trusted to Prof. Biagio Biagetti,
whose execution of the designs raises
him at once to high rank among
modern painters.
Mgr. Ranuzzi, Titular Archbishop OF
Tyre, Maestro di Camera to His
Holiness was Bishop of Loretto until
called to the Vatican two years ago
to replace Cardinal Bisleti, then
raised to the Sacred Purple, and he
is much interested in everything con.
nected with the great temple. He
sent telegram of congratulations.
The frescoes represent various
events in the lives of IS. Cyril and
Methodius, Apostles of the Slav races
The most magnificent, but not, per
haps, the most perfectly artistic is
that showing the two saints in the
throne room of the Vatican, in pres
ence of the Pontiff, Pope Adrian II
and several Cardinals.

Of the tapestry took ten years Of the
life of Gentili
In addition to the tapestry only
seven other portrait ones have been
woven by Professor Gentili. One of
these, that of Pope Clement TX, is pre-
served in the hospice of San Michele,
where the art of tapestry weaving
was kept alive when it had all but
died out in every other part of Italy.
! All in all, Professor Gentili be
heves he will never undertake
another tapestry. Although he is al
ready old and bent and shrunken, yet
his hand has lost none of its cunning,
his eye none of it's keenness for color
and his senses none of their percep-
ton of form. On the other hand when
he takes into consideration the block
of years that has to be woven into
each masterpiece, he says he believes
it best not to tempt Nature further.
AS a consequence, when the tapestry
of ST. Joseph next year finally hangs
over the altar of the Sistine Chapel,
it's Inauguration will mark also the
closing of his career.

The MASS ROCK
REMINDERS OF THE DAYS WHEN
PRIESTS WERE HUNTED
IN IRELAND.

The eighteenth century was the
age which gave to Irish topography
the Condemnation" or Mass
Rock" to be found on every barony
map of Ireland. What memories
cling around each hallowed moss-clad
stone or rocky ledge on the mountain
side, or in the deep recess of some
desolate glen, wherein for years and
years the Holy Sacrifice was offered
up in stealth and secrecy, the death
penalty hanging over priest and wor-
shipper.
Not infrequently Mass was inter-
rupted by the approach of the ban
dogs of the law, for, quickened by the
rewards to be earned, there sprang
up in those days the infamous trade
of priest hunting, five pounds ($25)
being the price paid by the govern
ment for the head of priest or the
head of wolf
The utmost care was necessary in
divulging to the faithful the place
fixed on for the Holy Sacrifice. The
poor, half-starved people flocked in
ones and twos to the spot to avoid
arousing suspicion, and before Mass
began sentries we're posted all around
so as to obtain an early view of the
arrival of troops or priest-hunters.
Yet, despite all vigilance, not infre-
quently the blood of the priest dyed
the altar stone.
1t might be inferred that one hun
dred years of this persecution would
have extinguished Catholicity, but, on
the contrary, God as if by a miracle,
preserved the faith, vitality and
power of the Irish race. Ireland,
after one hundred and fifty years of
bloody persecution, rose from it's Sc
pulchre and walked forth full of life.
Noimere human Faith could have &C
complished this transformation.

SECRET OF TRUE HAPPINESS
Mr.. CHARLES M. SCHWAB SAYS 1T
Is FOUND ONLY IN A WELL
SPENT LIFE.

At the annual banquet of st. Francis
College, Loretto, Pa, Mr.. Charles M.
Schwab was principal speaker. In the
course of his address he said:
Pleasant are the recollection of life
in this old college. My father is a
wise old gentleman and if ever a son
honors the wisdom Of father l am
that son. When my father decided,
poor and in ill health as he was, to
move to Loretto that he might edu-
cate his children he reached decision
which meant much for all of us-wh1ch
had much to do with our future and l
take this opportunity to give credit
where credit is due.
''I say it with no sense of egotism
that few men have seen life as / have
seen it. I have experienced the stern
est necessity, have lived in the hum,
blest surroundings; have seen life's
glittering riches, the regal pomp, but
believe me, true happiness comes not
from these but in the happy recollec-
lions of life well STANDARDIZATION
of that period of life when one strug
gled to gain the heights.
1--WE as alumni have not done our
full duty. We ought to be the back
bone against which the good fathers
should lean; we should do more than
merely be here on this jovial occasion;
we should put our shoulder to the
wheel and help to put st. Francis in
the front rank of educational insti
tutions. Let our efforts be not indi
vidual but collective. That is the way
to get success. Let us do more fol
this grand old school"

Brief Reviews and Notices

The Tears of the Royal Prophet, Poet
of God. Published by B. Herder, II
South Broadway, st. Louis, Mo-
Price, so cents net
This is a series of meditations on
the Seven Penitential Psalms which
the writer calls "the lyric cries of a
sorrowing SOUL" Each verse is made
the subject of brief explanation and
meditation in which the author dwells
upon its spiritual significance and
makes application of it's teaching to
the needs of the individual soul
These reflections, brief and pithy,
enable the reader to enter into the
spirit of the psalms and realize that
they are as salutary in their influence
on human life today, as they were
when penned by the Royal Prophet.
The volume contains, in brief compass,
a pleasing variety of useful spiritual
reading and is deserving of wide circu-
lation.

Twenty young people from Amelia

great applause.
