URGE STATE AID FOR
PAROcHIAL SCHOOLS
Bishop McFaul Makes sugges-
tion-3O,0 coo Catholics at
Milwaukee Meet.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 12.-Three Ses-
sions of the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Catholice societies
were planned for today, starting with
a business meeting at the auditorium.
While visiting Catholics number some
80, 900, the business of the gathering Is
In the hands of about SEQ delegates.
The big convention which was in
Rugurated on Sunday by the celepra-
ton in St. Johns cathedral or solemn
pontifical mass by Cardinal o
and a sermon by Archbishop Keane,
was featured in the afternoon by a
parade Of various societies in which
more than $4,000 persons took part,
and in the evening a concert was
given.
Among the things to be discussed
during the convention are religious
teaching in public schools, and the
problem of taxing Catholic citizens to
maintain public schools when they are
already maintaining p~arochial schools.
Bishop McFauls solution for this Is:
"First-Let Catholic school remain as
they are.
"Second-Let no compensation be
made for religious instructions. Our
principle is. let the pastor take care
of the flock and live by h flock.
'Third-Let Catholic children be ex-
amined by a state or municipal board,
and if Catholic schools furnish the
regular education required, let the
state put down the cash"
Great interest will center in the mass
meeting to be addressed by Archbishop
Ireland in the auditorium tonight.
There is a movement on foot TO or
ganize a national league Of Catholic
women Sessions of delegates to the
Catholic women's convention ana
Others interested in the proposed
league will be held in st. John's cathe-
dral auditorium, the first meeting be-
ing planned for today when tenn
porary officers will be chosen.

PRAYS FOR HEAVENLY
Fire; CHURCH BURNS
Holiness Mission, Complained of
by Neighbors, Destroyed
by Flames.

ST. Louis, Aug. 12.-Following the de-
struction by fire of the tent of the Holt
ness Christian Rescue and ission church
at Bell and Compton Brother
Carmel Patrick. M Of the pillars Of
the church said, that he believed a
prayer of the evening before, that q
fire might descend upon the city and
shock the sinners into repentance, may
have had something to do with 1t.
The Rev. Melvin Pratt, pastor, how
ever, sees nothing supernatural about
the blaze. but thinks it may have been
started purposely by some of he neigh
bors who have nightly turned phono-
graph batteries o. the tent while serv-
ices were being conducted.
Brother Patrick remains true to his
conviction, in spite Of his spiritual su-
p~ervisor's opinion. He declares that the
ten was damaged by a wind several
weeks ago, after someone had prayed
that a mighty wind be sent over the
city to drive the unrighteous to re-
pentance.
