CAT HOLICITY IN The
SOUTHERN REPUBLICS
THE STATE RELIGION IN
NICARAGUA-REL TO BE
TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOLS OF
MEXICO.

That Catholicity is solidly progress
sing in the Republics to the south of
us, notwithstanding the baleful and
active hostility of the members of the
infidel secret societies, is evident from
news which has just come to hand
from two of them-Mexico and
Nicaragua In regard to the latter
The Pittsburg Observer published the
following a few weeks ago: I'm the
recent revision of the Constitution
the Constituent Assembly, or Con-
gress, of Nicaragua adopted this
article: The religion of the State is
the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman.
No laws can be passed contrary to
the liberty of the Church, or restric-
tive of it's judicial personality. No
one shall be molested for his religious
opinions, nor compelled to profess any
creed, or observances and practices
contrary to his conscience Moreover,
all forms of worship not opposed to
public order or Christian morality
are guaranteed the ordinary legal
rights.

official conservation of the republic of
Mexico to the Sacred Heart last De
cember in presence of the president
(Don AdoIfo Diaz), the cabinet, the
assembly and the foreign diplomatic
corps, in the parish church of Mana
qua. Such acts as these, says the Re
vista of Las Vegas, afford solid hope
of the future, after period of anti
clericalism, fratricidal revolution and
tyranny" Now Senior Chamorro, the
Minister of Education, has introduced
in Congress an election law which pro-
vides for the imparting of religious as
well as of secular instruction in the
schools of the republic. The former,
which has long been banished from
the schools by a political party
dominated by the atheistic secret So
cieties, is, he has clearly proved in
an able speech delivered in support of
the new law, the indispensable COM
plement of the latter. Under the
name of liberty Of worship he said,
that party banished the name OF God
from the institutions in which the
characters of youth were formed"

The convention will be opened with

Material and Cost.
The building will be lighted at night
by electricity, with supplementary gas
lights for emergencies. There is but
little woodwork in the building. The
doors and the window frames are all
of white oak and on the floors of the
eight class rooms and the play room
there is single layer of maple upon
concrete base The other floors are
all terrazzo. Both stairways are of
iron with marble treads and balus-
trades of iron. The second story cell
ing is of steel construction. All in
ternal plastering is done in hard wall
plaster with Keen's cement wainscot-
ing finished in white enamel paint.
The walls can thus be washed without

The entire cost of the ground and

erend Joseph A. Corrigan, since he

CHINESE PROFESSION OF FAITH

One of the most interesting items
contained in a recent number of the
Annals" is the profession of faith
of fervent Chinese Christian who
lived in the early seventeenth cen
fury:
Il, Paul Ly, a sinful man, neverthe-
less desire with all my heart to amend
my life and embrace the holy law of
Jesus Christ. Asking this grace |
raise my heart to the Lord of Heaven
and entreat Him not to disdain my
prayer. Alas, since my child
hood have been plunged in ignorance
and sin. Therefore implore Almighty
God to have mercy on me and to par
don my transgressions.
II firmly resolve that from this
hour, when l am about to be purified
from my sins, l will amend my life,
will adore the Lord of Heaven in spirit
and in truth, and will strive to care
fully observe the ten commandments
of God
II renounce my sins, ALLURE the
errors of the times, and condemn all
that is contrary to the Divine Law
Today begin new life. But, as the
doctrines tSat, 1 profess contain
heights of sublimity and depths OF
wisdom that | do not yet fully com.
prehend, beg the All Merciful God
the Creator and Saviour of the world
to deign to enlighten my mind and to
strengthen my faith.
"Give me grace, o Lord, to put
into practice the teachings have re-
ceived, that I may be able to live an
upright life and thus may, one day
in Heaven, be admitted to Thy Divine
Presence. Grant that, having received
Thy Divine Law l may publish il
wherever l go and strive to lead
others to embrace it.
81 solemnly promise to do all l can
to extend Thy Holy faith, and l beg
Thee to hear and accept my vow.
This profession of faith make in
the Empire OF the great Ming dynasty,
during the thirtieth year of the reign
of Wan-Lie, and on the sixteenth day
of the eighth moon" (Sept. %, 1603.)

COLLECTION OF RELICS
HOLY CROSS CHURCH, INDIA, HAS
NEARLY 400 RELICs-VENER-
ATED BY THE FAITHFUL EVERY
MONTH.

Unknown to the general Catholic
public is the fact that the Church
of the Holy Cross, Cordel, three miles
from Mangalore, possesses large
treasure of holy relics and very prob
ably there is not larger collection in
any church in all India. The late
Father Ladislaus Desolges, a Car
melite French Missionary, brought
these relics down about forty years
ago and they have been carefully pre-
served in box with all the authentica-
ton papers. They are enclosed in
twenty-four reliquaries of large and
small size, all artistically worked.
Among the relics are those of the
Holy Cross, some connected with our
Lord, the Blessed Virgin and ST.
Joseph; besides these, there are relics
of the twelve Apostles, the Evangel-
lists, the Doctors of the Church, a
large number of the Confessors, Vir-
gins and Martyrs. They all number
three hundred and nine. After the
death of Father Alexander they were
entrusted to the care of the clustered
nuns of the Sacred Heart Convent,
Kankanady, where they remained till
the parish of Cordel was organized
some nine years back
The new Church of the Holy Cross
at Cordel was blessed last year and
since the commencement of this year
the Vicar of the Church has arranged
that the faithful pay due honor and
reverence to the holy relics, publicly
in the church right through the year,
and thus secure for themselves the
powerful protection of the saints who
are honored With this end in view,
some relics are exposed on the High
Altar every Sunday of the month in
this order. First Sunday, all the relics
connection with our Lord, B. V. Mary
and ST. Joseph; second Sunday, relics
of the Apostles and Evangelists; third
Sunday, relics of the Doctors, Comics
sors and Virgins; fourth Sunday, relics
of all the Martyrs. All the relics are
exposed on the solemn feast days of
the year.

The Basement.

The south half of the basement is
devoted to large and airy playroom
40 by 73 feet. The ceiling is fourteen
feet in height and there is no pillar
or other obstruction in the hall which
could interfere with the more active
winter games. The ceiling is sup
ported by three huge Orders of steel
each weighing eight tons. The win
dows are wide and numerous to supply
an abundance of fresh air and light.
They are of Florentine glass which
cuts off the gaze of the passers-by from
the basement.
Upon the concrete floor of this hall
there is single layer of polished ma
pie which gives it the right degree of
hardness for an ideal gymnasium floor
and at the same time precludes the
cement dust from the room.
Leading from the play room a door
opens upon another large room TWEEN
ty-four feet vide and thirty feet long.
This will be used as a meeting room
and will be furnished with everything
needful for the various sodalites and
other societies of the parish.
The Heating Plant.
There is another door connecting
the play room with the boiler room,
and in addition to this there is a
separate entrance to the boiler room
from the outside. There is an under
ground coal bunker situated back of
the building with capacity Of eighty
tons of coal This heating plant win
serve both the school and the church.
The boiler is a Herbert down-draft of
the smokeless type with a heating
capacity of $500 square feet. A

The Second Floor.

The general plan of the second floor
is counterpart of the first. The four
class rooms are similarly situated to
the four directly beneath them, the
corridors are similarly arranged and
like those of the first floor are eleven
feet wide and have terrazzo floors
with marble base boards.
The well lighted library on the Sec
ond floor overlooks the main entrance.
Above the main Office is the teachers
rest room and toilet room. There is a
four part bubbling fountain in the cor
ridor of the second floor as on the
first. On both floors also there are
toilet rooms for use during school
hours The main toilet rooms are in the
basement, which is reached by the two
inside stairways and also by three en-
frances from the outside correspond
ing with the three entrances to the
main floor.

bling jets. This corridor terminates
length of the building, the two pas
sage ways together forming the letter
T. Both have terrazzo floors with
marble Dashboard At each end of the
longer corridor is stairway which
extends from the basement to the Sec
ond floor.
In addition to the Dayton Avenue
entrance there are two others, one at
either end of the building with the
doors opening from the stairway land
ings between basement and first floor.
The main office of the school is at
the angle of the two corridors with
windows facing the Church of st.
Mark across Moore Street.
The Glass Rooms.
There are four class rooms on the
first floor. Two of them are entered
from the front corridor and two at
the rear of the building open upon
the stairway corridor. A clear idea
| from description of the one at the
right of the main entrance. 1t is TWEEN
ty-six feet wide and thirty feet long. All
the light comes from one side of the
room where the five large windows
have combined area equal to one
fifth of the floor space of the room.
This amount of lighting area for
school rooms has been found to be
most generally satisfactory. The seats
too are so arranged that all the light
will come from the left of the children.
The steam radiators are situated I'M
der the windows in such way as to
form the least possible obstruction in
the aisles. The ventilation system
admits the fresh air into the room at
the level of the floor after it has been
heated by passing through a hundred
square feet Of wall coil. The vitiated
air is expelled from the room through
ducts which terminate in the attic in
to the roof. By this system thirty
two cubic feet of fresh air, heated to
the temperature of the room before
entering it, is supplied to each pupil
per minute. The seats and desks are
all of the adjustable make, and care
will be taken to regulate their height
according to the size of the pupils.
The arrangement of the cloak room
also is carefully designed to give con-
venience and promote orderliness 1t
extends parallel to one side of the
class room with door at each end

cloak room, disposes of his wraps and
passing along, re-enters the class room
by the other door, thus avoiding con.
fusion and interference with others
At one end of the cloakroom is a com
bination bookcase and locker for the
teacher. The arrangements in each
of the eight class rooms are the same
the only difference being slight varia
lions in the size of the rooms.
