THE HOLY FATHERS
HEALTH.

The whole Christian world has
been saddened by the reports
emanating from Rome during the
past week in regard to the health
of His Holiness Pope Plus x.
About two weeks ago, owing to
an attack of influenza, the Holy
Father was obliged to cancel all
audiences and to give up as far as
possible the transaction of all but
the most important official bust
ness. The restraint put upon him
by his physicians proved some
what irksome to him, and in his
anxiety to carry out his official
duties according to the pre-ar-
ranged program he over-exerted
himself. The result was that he
suffered a relapse which left him
in a very weakened condition.
Other complications supervened
and, in view of his advanced
age, caused great anxiety in Vati-
can circles regarding the outcome
of his illness. The Holy Father
has always been an active man
and comparatively free from ill
ness, and seems not to realize
that the burden Of advancing age
he is now in his seventy-eighth
year-has robbed him of much of
his former vitality, and on this
account the attending physicians
were not over sanguine as to the
result.
In the early part of the week
the reports from his bedside sent
out by the attending physicians,
Professor Marchiafava and DIR.
Amici, were not very reassuring !;
later on, they were more opti-
mistic and indicated that, for the
time being at least, the Pontiff
was on the road to recovery.
These favorable symptoms soon
gave place ITO grave fears that the
Pontiff would not be able to with
stand the ravages of the disease
from which he suffers; and at
present the outlook for recovery
is not favorable.
AS we go to press, the Holy
Father is by no means out Of
danger. The prayers which his
faithful children throughout the
world have been offering up in his
behalf should be continued with
undated fervor until definite as
surance is forthcoming that his
normal health has been restored.
The worldwide interest taken
in his illness and the concern
shown for his welfare by all
classes of people are evidenced by
the eagerness with which the pub
lie await the daily reports from
the Vatican. There can be no
doubt that the Pope, though a
prisoner in the Vatican, is still
the most important sovereign in
the world and that solicitude for
his exalted person is not confined
solely to those who recognize him
as their supreme ruler in spiritual
matters.

BIGOTS ORGANIZE IN THE
TWIN CITIES.

Last Saturday afternoon meet
ing Of anti-Catholic bigots- SYM
pathizers with the so-called Guar
dams of Liberty, and boosters for
the Menace-was held in the
Knights of Pythias hall on the Sec
ond floor of the Masonic Temple
in Minneapolis.
The letter convoking the meet
ing was sent to readers and
friends of the Menace throughout
Minnesota and was signed by L. l..
Fish of Minneapolis, Secretary of
the committee on organization.
In response to this call about
seventy-five seedy-looking individ-
uals assembled at the place Of
meeting. 1t is a pleasure to state
that there was not a single repre-
sentative citizen among them.
The meeting was addressed by
one Walter Sims of Bay City,
Michigan, who is described in the
circular which accompanied the
letter as the Editor of "The Chris
tian." It seems that his speciality
is lecturing on the Catholic Church
and its institutions as a menace
to America topic which is dear
to the heart of every anti Catholic
bigot. In fact, Sims has issued a
challenge to the Hierarchy and to
the clergy in general to debate this
question with him. In his address
at Minneapolis he singled out the
Pope as the special subject of his
envemoned attack and INDUCED in
the ungentlemanly pastime of
calling approbrious names the
usual refuge of those who have no
arguments to back up their asser-
lions.
Before the meeting disbanded a
permanent organization was eff
fected to promote the interests of
the so-called Guardians of Liberty
and to lessen the influence of the
Catholic Church throughout the
United States. We are reliably
informed that man from st. Paul

Reference has already been
made in these pages to the "Call
for Minnesota Workers. which
has been issued by the Menace.
It seems incredible that. in this
age of enlightenment, publica-
ton Of this nature should be able
to delude apparently intelligent
men into the belief that they are
promoting civic and social welfare
by aiding in the propagation of
it's vile ISLANDERS. Such, however
seems to be the case, if we are to
judge by what has taken place in
some parts Of the state.
AS an example of the methods
resorted to in this propaganda
we may cite what occurred last
week in Kilkenny, Mimi During
a funeral service at the Church of
St. Canice, an itinerant dentist
who, in order to make a living,
visits Kilkenny and other places
periodically, was seen to sneak up
to the church and deposit copies
of the Menace in the carriages of
those who were attending the
funeral as we'll as near the church
and the priests house. When the
funeral services were over and the
people became aware Of the ma
ture of the publication distributed
in the vicinity of the church, they
were seized with righteous indig-
nation. A number of the women
of the parish gathered the vile
sheets and set fire to them; and
the men, on learning the identity
of the person who had insulted
them and their religion, invited
him in no uncertain manner to
leave the town, which he accord.
ingly did. It is not likely that he
will return. If he ventures to dc
so he will find that the Catholics
who have been patronizing him
will make the town a financial
Sahara for him. His anti Catholic
animus has been discovered and
it is very probable that Kilkenny
will know him no more.
It would be well if the Catholic
people Of other towns who have
had to suffer what the people OF
Kilkenny were expected to bear
without protest, would initiate
them and give the local agents OF
the Menace to understand that
their absence would be more ap,
preciated than their company
All honor to the good people Of
Kilkenny for their prompt action

result. If due attention were
given to this matter, there is no
reason why the children trained
in parochial schools would not be
able to take part in the services
of the Church and thus gradually,
as generation succeeds generation,
greater numbers would be able to
participate and soon congrega-
tional singing would be an accom-
plished fact and a recognized fea-
ture of Catholic services. This is
the only way in which we can
ever hope to make congregational
singing popular and effective. In
no more effective way can we in
duce our Catholic people to take
part in the simple chant of the
Church as our forefathers in the
faith did in the early days of
Christian fervor to which st. Paul
bears witness in his Epistle to the
Ephesians: Speaking to your
selves in psalms and hymns, and
spiritual canticles, singing and
making melody in your hearts to
the Lord" To this also our Holy
Father refers in his Motu Proprio
on Sacred Music when he says
Especial efforts are to be made to

intended to facilitate the work of
the Catholic Travellers Aid main
tanned by Bishop Farrelly in the
Union Station. 1t will be helpful
also to the clergy who are often
consulted by strangers in regard
to suitable boarding houses. Forty
three houses are already listed in
this directory with prices of board

This is a good move and might
with profit be taken up by Cath
Ollie organizations in other do
ceses where a list of Catholic
boarding houses, together with
their rates, would be of no small
value to people coming to the city

THE RECITATION OF THE
DIVINE OFFICE.

The Sacred Congregation of the
Council has published the follow
ing decree on the privilege of re-
citing the Divine Office according
to the arrangement of the Psalter !:
On the publication of the Apostolic
Constitution, "Divinu Afflatu, !"
regarding the new arrangement of
the Psalter in the Roman Breviary,
not a few of those bound to recite
the Canonical Hours petitioned,
for certain reasons, for a Papal
Indult to observe the old order of
the Psalter at the recitation of
these Canonical Hours. Since a
doubt has been raised as to
whether those who obtained the
indult could follow at will either
order Of the Psalter, using now
the old and again the new, accord
ing to convenience, the Sacred
Congregation of the Council, by
special mandate of the Most Holy
Father Pope Plus Z, declares and
DEGREES this is not lawful; but
that each. and all of whatever
grade, condition, and dignity, who
wish to use the indult mentioned
above, must, as often as they say
the Divine Office in private, recite
for each Hour all the psalms, ETC.,
as distributed in the Roman Bre-
Wary edited by st. Plus W and
recognized by Clement VII,
Urban VII, and Leo XII. Never

RAR-RooM CONVERSATIONS.

II distagraph could record CONVEX
sations in bar room, the transcribed
record would show the talk to be quite
lively and with much emphasis; but,
as a rule, with little cleverness or wit.
1t is probable that drink has its
influence in arousing the convivial
spirit more by way of social sugges-
ton than otherwise. The brightest
part Of conviviality comes before the
drink Is served with the mere antici-
patton Of the libation, with the placing
of the glasses and the popping Of the
corks. An hour later the conversation
is apt to be rather dull and stupid,
and, to the bartender at least, (if he
is total abstainer), actually maudlin.
All this bears out the latest scientific
opinion that drink is not q stimuIant,
but a narcotic, not brightener, but
a stupider.

WHEN THE DRINK rs DRIVEN
AWAY.

No broken windows or creaking doors
No greasy walls or filthy floors,
But pretty homes, and gardens fair,
Scent of sweet flowers perfume the
air.
Where the drink is driven away.
No 'raggft weans," no weary wives.
No women in fear for their very lives
But merry maids and bonny boys,
Making streets ring with gladstone
noise,
Where the drink is driven away.
No tempting bars or drink-shops low.
NO brawls or fights where'er you go,
But peace and plenty reign supreme,
And life is one long pleasant dream
Where the drink is driven away.
No aching hearts and dragging feet
No unemployed in any street.
But bounding step and CHEEKY song,
And work for the willing, the brave
and strong,
Where the drink is driven away.
NO frowning goals and prison drear.
No criminals in training here,
The banner Of true freedom waves
Ger men who never can be slaves.
Where the drink is driven away.
No public debt to crush them down.
No breaking banks to make them
frown,
No empty Golfers in the state,
For debts are small and incomes
great,
Where the drink is driven away.
And oh! thou country of my birth.
The grandest spot upon the earth,
0 may live to see the day
When all thy woes shall pass away.
And glorious, beautiful, and free,
Thou shalt arise VIGOROUSLY,
When the drink is driven awayv

A majority of the members of
the School Board of Baltimore,
Nd, are in favor of separate edu-
cation for boys and girls, at least,
in the upper grades of the public
schools. They see the evils of
co-education which are patent to
all who are not blinded bv an
idolatrous worship of the public
school system. Were it not fol-
the additional expense they would
not hesitate to oppose the present
system. Catholics who have made
such efforts to establish and main
tain separate schools for boys and
girls know that the system
though costly in the beginning, is
cheaper in the long run-and bet
ter.

THE LAYMEN'S RETREAT.

AS already announced in The
Catholic Bulletin, the first lay
mems retreat in the Archdiocese
of st. Paul will open in, the st.
Paul Seminary on Thursday even
ing, June 26, at half-past eight
o'clock, and close the following
Monday morning at half-past
seven. The exercises will be con-
Quoted by the Very Reverend
Walter Elliott, G. S. P, Rector of
the Apostolic Mission House,
Washington, whose long and
varied experience as a missionary
is sufficient guarantee that, from
the religious point of view, moth
ing will be wanting to make this
retreat a pronounced success.
1t remains for the Catholic lay
men for whom this retreat is
planned to make it a success from
the point of view of numbers and
individual profit. For that pur-
pose those who intend to follow
the exercises should make ar
rangements beforehand in order
that no business engagement may
interfere with their giving their
whole time and attention to this
important matter. To secure
accommodations for the retreat,
as well as full details regarding
the various exercises, they should
communicate with the Reverend
Bernard Feeney, Spiritual Direc-
tor of the st. Paul Seminary.
In this connection it may be
well to impress upon our Catholic
laymen that this retreat is largely
an experiment. If it proves sue
cessful, others will be organized
along similar lines. There is no
reason why it should not be as
well attended as the retreats which
have been so conspicuous feature
Of Catholic life during recent
years in the eastern cities. The
movement is now gradually
spreading over the whole country
and the advantages which it offers
for few days of profitable medi-
tation on spiritual things are too
obvious to need further mention.
They appeal to the intelligent
business and professional men who
realize the value of stocktaking
from time to time In order to note
progress or retrogression and
make provision for future welfare.
The success of laymen's retreats
in busy London is an indication of
what we may expect wherever
men are conscious of the needs to
which these exercises minister

The meeting adopted resolutions
calling for the complete separa-
ton of the Church and State
(which, of course, means only the
separation of the Catholic Church
from the State, leaving the Prot
estant sects free to carry on their
religious propaganda under the
guise of patriotism) the dismis-
sal of all Catholic teachers from
the public schools; and the expul-
sion of the Jesuits from the United
States. 1t was arranged that 9th
er meetings be held from time to
time of which we hope to receive
due notice in order that we may
be able to report proceedings.
1t will, no doubt, be interesting
to Catholics to know that the
bigots of the Twin Cities are tax
ing definite steps to line up against
them simply because they are
Catholics. The more intelligent
non-Catholics who know that the
Catholic Church, far from being
a menace to the United States, ex-
ercises the most potent influence
for good in every community, will
also be interested in learning the
true state of affairs in order that
they may repudiate the proceed
ings of those whom they, as well
as every respectable citizen, must
reprobate as the enemies Of law
and order, and the most dangerous
type Of unpatriotic citizens.
