MOTOR CHAPEL BLESSED
BISHOP DOUGHERTY OF THE
PHILIPPINES OFFICIATED AND
DIR. McGLINcHEY OF BOSTON
PREACHED.

On Sunday, April 20, the new motor
chapel car, "st. Peter" the latest gift
to the Catholic Church Extension So
ciety, was solemnly dedicated to the
service of God by Right Reverend d.
J. Dougherty, D. D., Bishop of Jaro,
Philippine Islands. The sermon was
preached by the Reverend Joseph F..
McGlinchey, director of the Society for
the Propagation of the Faith, in the
Archdiocese of Boston.
This unique ceremony took place on
the lawn in front of St. Xavier's
Academy, Forty-ninth Street and Cot
tage Grove Avenue, at $500 p. m. The
care was placed in position with the
interior exposed to the view of the
public and the large tent erected for
the congregation just as it will be on
it's missionary tour throughout the
sparsely settled districts of the West
and South.

During the past year there has been
considerable agitation in Mankato,
Mimi, in regard to the reading of the
Bible and the holding of religious ex-
ercises in the high school of that city.
Through the efforts of ]. e. Regan, an
attorney and member of the School
Board, the matter was taken up some
months ago and referred to the State
Superintendent of instruction who de-
clared that, in accordance with a de-
cision given by Attorney General
Childs in 1895, such a proceeding was
unconstitutional. Following this the
practice was discontinued for a time,
but was afterward resumed. The pur-
pose of the action taken by Father
Hughes of the Church of st. John, is
to determine whether or not the Board
of Education has right to counten-
ance Bible reading in the high schools.
To that end, temporary Injunction
against the President of the School
Board was granted by Judge Pfau and
is returnable on April 29. The case
will be tried on its merits at the June
term of the District Court.

RELIGION IN EDUCATION
TRIBUTE TO VALUE
OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.

There is one Church which makes
religion an essential in education,
says the New England Journal, and
that is the Catholic Church, in which
the mothers teach their faith to the
infants at the breast in their lullaby
songs and whose brotherhoods and
priests, sisterhoods and nuns imprint
their religion on souls as indelibly as
the diamond marks the hardened
glass. They ingram their faith in
human hearts when most plastic to
the touch
Are they wrong, are they stupid, are
they ignorant, that they found parish
schools, converts, colleges, in which
religion is taught?
Not if a man be worth more than a
dog or the human soul, with eternity
for duration, is of more value than the
span of animal existence for day. If
they are right, then we are wrong; if
our Puritan fathers were wise, then
we are foolish.
Looking upon it as mere specula-
tive question, with their policy they
will increase; with ours we will de-
crease. Macaulay predicted the en-
durance of the Catholic Church till
the civilized Australian should sketch
the ruins of London from a broken
arch of London bridge.
| We are no prophet, but it does seem
to us that Catholics, retaining their
religious teaching and we our heather
schools, will gaze upon cathedral
crosses all over New England when
the meeting houses will be turned into
barns.
Let them go on teaching their re
ligion to the children and we go on
educating our children in schools with.
out a recognition of God and without
the reading of the Bible, and they will
plant corn and train grapevines on
the unknown graves of Plymouth pill.

chusetts Bay, and none will dispute
their right of possession. We say this

that whatsoever a man soweth that

All the Sisters of the Motherhouse
of the Congregation of Notre Dame,
Montreal, attended the recent golden

ice of religion after fifty years spent in

Of the veteran band all are between

moreover, with one exception, all are
in good health.
In addition to those who renewed
their VOWS of conservation after fifty
years in the order were Mother Ste.

General of the Congregation, while
Mother Ste. Jean Baptiste celebrated

MISSION HOUSE
MUCH WORK DONE DURING A
BUSY WINTER TERM-THIRTY-
TWO PRIESTS ENROLLED.

The winter term at the Apostolic
Mission House, Washington, D. c.,
has been busy season for professors
and students alike, this portion Of the
year having been devoted to prac-
tical preparation for giving missions
to non-Catholics. Lectures were given
on all those subjects controverted by
present-day Protestants, after which
the students carefully prepared indi-
vidual papers on each topic and sub
mitted them for correction.
Along with this a course of lectures
was given on Professionalism ia Amer
lea. Each of the larger denomina-
tions had at least one session devoted
to its history, creed, organization,
form of worship, etc. The question
box class was also carried on. stimuli
taneously, affording ready answel:s to
ordinary difficulties proposed by non
Catholics, and valuable practice in
public speaking.
Then again, each Friday morning
Professor Hickman, Director of the
Hickman Schools of Elocution of
Washington and Baltimore, gave a
lecture on public speaking. He indi-
Gated proper methods of articulation,
enunciation, breathing, phrasing, voice
resonance, conservation of energy,
and gesture The purpose of these
lectures is to increase the efficiency
of the public speaker by simple yet
natural development of latent gifts
and talents.
The total enrollmeit for the year
was thirty-two. Of these students
twenty-seven resided in the Mission
House The following dioceses were
represented: PittsburS Baltimore, ST.
Paul, Trenton, Scranton, Alton, Du-
luth, Lead, Buffalo, Altoona, New
York, Richmond, Sick Falls, Og-
densburg, Wichita, Oklahoma and
Fargo.
During the spring Hrm the regular
work of the Mission House, directed
to the making of cnverts, will be
continued. In additi6 there will be
given a short but effective course en-
bracing the usual differences and
meditations, to prepfe students for
conducting spiritual threats.

HEADS SERvIAN SCOUTS
CAPTAIN SULLIVAN OF MILWAU.
KEE CHIEF SCOUT IN sERv-
IAN ARMY.

An Irish-American of Milwaukee,
Captain Harry Sullivan, is now chief
OF scouts of the Servian army, and is
leader OF company of Celts in the
war against the Turks. Captain Sui
l1Van, who was for years a brakeman
on the st. Paul railroad and is a vet
eran of the Spanish-American war.
went to the Balkans in search of gold;
but the horrible barbarities he and two
Milwaukee, companions saw meted out
to the Christian peasants by the
Turks, proved too much for his Irish
blood and American sense of fair play,
and he and his partners offered their
services to the Servian Government.
They were accepted, and General
M1lanovich, learning that Sullivan had
fought in Cuba, gave him the post of
chief of scouts with the rank of Cap
tain, having carte blanche to organize
a company of Irishmen to assist him.
While fighting on st. Patrick's Day,
Captain Sullivan was wounded, and
had a narrow escape from falling into
the hands of the Turks.
