SKILL OF EARLY IRISH
EXCELLED IN ARCHITECTURE
ARTS AND MANUFACTURES
OF VARIOUS KINDS.

Fine work was done in iron, bronze,
gold and silver The ruins of cathe-
drals testify to the skill of Ireland's 8
early architects and builders. The
work of the Irish monk in illustrated
manuscripts, from the earliest period
to the introduction of printing, was
never equaled elsewhere in design and
exquisite taste in blending colors.
The people came to excel in the
manufacture of woolens, linen and
worsted goods so that in time weavers
of the continent initiated Irish pat
terms. Later they were to manufac-
ture fine silken fabrics, and by the
end of the seventeenth century their
glasswork was to be the most beauti-
full to be obtained anywhere.
Almost at once the Irish mission
aries became mighty power in Eu.
rope. The ardor with which earlier
they sought material conquests they
turned toward the Christianization of
pagan lands.

.B|sHOP-ELECT OF CALGAR'
RIGHT REVEREND JOHN T. Nc

Canada and Newfoundland, was in
formed that the Rev. John T. McNal-
ly, D. D., pastor of the Church of st.

NEW COLLEGE OPENED
FIRST BUILDING OF NEW JESUIT
COLLEGE, BOSTON, INFORMAL
LY DECENTRALIZATION ON
GOLDEN JUBILEE DAY.

At the conclusion of the Easter va
cation the first building of the new
Jesuit College, Boston, Mass, was in
formally opened, when the students of
the senior class resumed their studies
there. It is completed except for the
mural decorations, which will be done
by Brother Scroons, s. j.
About five years ago thirty acres in
the beautiful Chestnut Hill district
bordering on Newton were bought by
the Society of Jesus as the site for a
new college and two years later the
designs for group of stately build
ings were made. The edifice now in
use will be the center of group of
eighteen. These will include sodal-
ity chapel, faculty building, college
Chapel, library, assembly building,
philosophy hall, biology building,
chemistry and physics building, a
large dining hall, two houses Of re-
treat, an infrmary and heating plant.
It is the intention of the president
to have the class Of 1913 graduate
from the new college. Next year the
entire student body of the college will
enter the new home and His Emf
nence Cardinal O'Connell will dedi-
cate the college buildings on the oc-

CATHOLIC LAYMEN'S RETREAT

forward for growth in Christlikeness.
In retreat we find how we stand with
God, we make sure of our bearings,
we repair past loss and damage, we
gather wisdom from experience, we
renew the oil in our lamps for the
dark days ahead of us. And SO
equipped, forgetting the things that
are behind, and stretching forth to
those that are before we press
toward the goal for the prize to which
God calls us upward in Christ Jesus.
Few, realizing what retreat is,
will fail to accept the opportunity now
offered Of making one, and ''redeeming
the time, because the days are evil"
The work, while needful for most, is
wise for all. In the ordinary course
of life, we are always doing some
thing analogous to it. When we make
long journey on, foot, we find it nee
essary to rest from time to time by
the wayside. A retreat is such an
other rest. When we have worked
in store or Office for ten or eleven
months, we deem it wise to take a
short vacation for renewal of energy
or repair of brain tissue. A retreat
is such another vacation. When we
submit to the annual discomfort of
house-cleaning, we know that it is
an indispensable readjustment of the
home. A retreat, without the discom-
fort, is such another. readjustment.
st. Paul calls us the temple of the
living God" Are we sure that the
living God is pleased with the care
we are taking of His dwelling place?
If we give three hundred and sixty
two days mostly to our temporal af-
! fairs, is it unwise or improbable to
give the remaining three exclusively
to the affairs of the soul? If, on look
ing back, we find much instability of
purpose in our lives, frequent re-
about our confessions, and, perhaps,
consciousness of growing Indifference
to our salvation and fearful hardening
of the heart to religious influences, is
it not high time to recognize the
downward trend of our steps, to seize
the hand held out to us in this re-
treat, and I'd return to the strait
way that leads to life?
From time to time, in future issues
of The Catholic Bulletin, win be given
further notices of the Laymen's Re-
treat. Meanwhile, special information
will be supplied, and applications for
admission will be received and re-
corded, by

A HISTORIC CROSS
MUST BE MOVED TO MAKE ROOM
FOR BUSINESS BLOCK.

The location of the memorial mark
ing the site where Father Marquette
spent the winter of 1873 in Chicago
probably will be changed. The site
will soon be occupied by factory
The property was lately sold by
Mrs Charles P. Taft to G.. L. Wiley,
who plans to erect factory. The
land on which the cross stands is at
1443 Slip E., near Robey Street. The
cross is one of the few markings OF
historical places in Chicago. 1t is in
the center of large manufacturing
district.
Clarence A. Burley, president of the
Chicago Historical Society, said that
the society probably would take steps
to erect the cross at some other place
near the present site.

NEW ORLEANS CATHEDRAL
HISTORIC CHURCH CONDEMNED
AS DANGEROUS BY ARCHITECTS
WILL REQUIRE NEARLY
100000 TO RESTORE IT.

Some time ago the Most Reverend
Archbishop Blenk, of New Orleans,
selected a commission of prominent
architects and contractors of that city
to make a report on the condition of
the Cathedral of ST. Louis which was
believed to be in dangerous con-
dition. The committee made a care
full examination of the structure and
reported that such grave conditions
existed that Immediate steps should
be taken to close the building for
public worship and to restore the edi-
flee in such a manner as to make it
permanently safe. They estimated
that this restoration would cost ap-
proximately $97,500.
When asked whether he would is
sue an appeal to the public for the
necessary funds to restore the vener-
able pile, Archbishop Blenk said that
he deemed it unnecessary to do so.
He felt that the sentiment for the
preservation of this historic monu-
ment was so general and so deep
rooted that there would be spon-
taneous response on the part of the
public which would be sufficient to
enable them to carry out the work of
restoration He said that ten thou
sand dollars would be contributed
from the funds of the Cathedral for
that purpose.
The ST. Louis Cathedral occupies

purchase, and which was erected by
Bienville when he laid out the en-
bryo city of New Orleans, in 1718.
The first Church, destroyed by fire
in 1923, was rebuilt, and this in turn
was burnt to the ground in the terri
BILE conflagration of Good Friday, 1888.
1t was rebuilt through the generosity
of Don Andreas Ilmonaster Y Roxas
at cost of $50,000; remodeled in 1850
it stands today practically unchanged.
For nearly a hundred years the Cathe-
dral parish was the center of the colo
NAL life of Louisiana. 1t stands for
much in the history of the South and
West. and with the Old Ursuline Con-
vent in Chartres street (now the Arch
bishopric), is the most historic build
ing from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Great Lakes, from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific coast.
It witnessed the foundation of Louis

founder of Louisiana as also the long

and many distinguished French and
Spanish officials have occupied seats

In a disaster so widespread, as that
caused by the recent foods in Ohio
and Indiana, Catholic churches and in
stitutions sustained their share of in
jury. In Dayton, Ohio, the heaviest
sufferer, and where the death rate
was highest, Catholic loss was cor
respondingly large. Rev. John M.
Feldman, pastor of Sacred Heart
Church, Camp Washington, estimated
the damage to the Church property
in Dayton at not less than $4,000.
In the flooded district where the
water was as deep in some places as
fifteen feet, were Emmanuel Church,
st. Joseph Church, Sacred Heart
Church, Holy Trinity Church, st. John
Church, Holy Rosary Church, Corpus
Christi Church, and Holy Name
Church. All the buildings were good,
substantial structures and withstood
the battering of the rushing waters
that carried many less strong build
ings along with it and dashed them
against other structures crushing and
destroying them. In several of the
churches in the more deeply inun-
dated parts the furniture, confession
ais and parts of the altars were car
ried about in the waters that filed
the buildings. Many were covered
with mud, running vestments and
sanctuary and altar trimmings. Many
school houses and parochial residences
also felt the baneful effect of the
waters rush. 1t came so swiftly
and so Unexpectedly that there was
no time for warning, nor to remove
articles of value; the Blessed Sacra-
ment being about all that was rescued
in several cases. Happily the pastors
and teachers in the schools were all
saved, none of them being added to
the toll of deaths demanded, though
some of them we're marooned for two
days and their position precarious
until the water subsidized; when they
lent their best efforts in bringing
order out of the chaos, in aiding suf
ferers who were more direly stricken
than they were.

ITS NATURE AND ADVANTAGES
A Laymen's Retreat Will Open in St
Paul Seminary on June 26, and Con.
tinue for Three Days.

The Most Reverend Archbishop
Ireland, knowing the immense bene-
fits, temporal as well as spiritual, that
accrue from retreat, earnestly in
vites the Catholic laymen of the Arch
diocese to attend the one to be given
next June, in the St. Paul Seminary,
st. Paul, MINI.
A higher, broader, more intelligent
Catholic life-a worldwide renewal,
or summing up, of all things in Christ
lis the foremost need of our day, the
only breakwater against infidelity and
materialism. 1t is the cry Of the
Father of Christendom to his children,
the voice of the Holy Ghost, flashing
light on the breakers ahead and re-
vealing the only way of escape from
the shipwreck of the soul. This di-
vine call to a renewal of Christian
life is not as the voice of one crying
in the wilderness. It's sound has gone
forth into all the earth; and Catholic
laymen are responding nobly to it's
message. In all the largest cities of
this country, our best and most rep
resentative laymen are making annual
retreats of three or four days, to gain
a more vital hold of Christian ideals,
to reform and perfect their lives by
them, and to diffuse their influence
through every sphere of modern life.
The Archdiocese of st. Paul is now
resolved to add impetus and volume
to this world-wave of spiritual prog
ress, and inaugurates the work by the
coming Laymen's Retreat. 1t awaits
with confidence such general and
enthusiastic response as will test to
straining the ample accommodations
of the ST. Paul Seminary. The spir
itual exercises will begin on the even
ing of Thursday, June 26, at half
past eight, and end on Monday morn
ing with general Communion, at half
past seven.
''But what is a retreat?" some will
ask. A retreat is few days with

SITE REVERTS
HEIRS OF CHARLES CARROLL or
cARRoLLToN SECURE SITE DO
MATED TO ST. CHARLES COL
LEeE ON IT'S REMOVAL TO AN
OTHER LOCATION.

The old site of st. Charles College,
six miles from Ellicott City, Md, will
revert to the estate of Charles Carroll
of Carrollton because the trustees
have decided to rebuild elsewhere.
A jury returned a verdict last Sat
urday in favor of Robert G. Harper
Carroll in his action to eject the trus-
tees from the land conveyed to the
college by Charles Carroll on March
25, 1880. The deed contained re-
version clause, but Mr.. Carroll made
every effort to have the college return
to the old site, even offering stone
from his quarries for the work Of re
building the structure, which was de-
stroyed by fire few years ago.
The college trustees decided to build
at Cloud Gap, Catonville, because
they found they could have the work
done for about 100000 less.

to that of Notre Dame de Lourdes on
the retirement of Father Andre owing
to i'll health. During his incumbency
he has made many improvements in
the church and school and has de-
voted himself to the spiritual and ma
terial wellbeing of the large congre-
CATION of French Canadians entrusted
to his charge.
Mgr. Guillot has had no other aim
in life than to serve God and enhance
the welfare of the Church in what
ever field of labor he has been placed.
A devout, jealous, pious priest, he has
never sought worldly honor or recog-
milton but, on the contrary, Stunned
everything that would tend to focus
attention upon himself. He has ex-
emplified in his own person the spirit
of the early pioneer French mission
aries whose self-sacrificing devotion
to duty enabled them to find peace
and contentment and a field for their
consuming zeal for souls even in the
most unfavorable surroundings. The
honors which have come to him in
the evening of life are an external
evidence of appreciation on the part
of His Holiness Pope Plus X and OF
his ecclesiastical superiors. They are
fitting recognition of his zeal and
merit Far from diminishing his
wonted activity or bringing surcease
from toll, they will serve rather to
stimulate his zeal during the years
yet allotted to him to labor for the
Master and to bring forth fruit worthy
of eternal recompense.
