prepare a pamphlet embodying
the recognized conclusions of
medical science on the subject of
personal and public health.
Copies of this pamphlet have been
sent to all the priests in the Twin
Cities and the facts therein con-
tanned will serve as a basis for
their sermons next Sunday.
The question of personal and
public health is one of the most
important that engages the atten-
ton of the medical world today.
The most interesting phase OF
progress in medicine in recent
years, says DR.. Walsh, is not so
much the increase in our knowl-
edge of the cure of disease, though
definite advances has come in this,
but in the development of the
science of the cause of disease
and, consequently, of it's proven
ton. More and more insistence
is being placed on the necessity
and value of wholesome food,
fresh air, pure water, sunlight,
cleanliness and sanitation in the
prevention Of disease and the pro
motion of the general health OF
the community. The advances
made in recent years in regard to
the most approved methods OF
preventing disease, Or lessening
the ravages of an epidemic, are
little short of marvellous: but in
order that practical results may be
obtained the people must be
taught to cooperate with the
medical profession in making ap
plication Of this knowledge to the
conditions Of everyday life. Il
lis in order to bring about {
greater dissemination Of knowl
edge concerning these matters
that the American Medical Asso
citation proposes to utilize the op
portunitv afforded by it's meeting
in the Twin Cities to spread
abroad more general information
on the question of public health
and sanitation. The cooperation
Of individuals and of civic bodies
can be more readily secured whe1
the people are made aware o:
what has been done, for tina
shows exactly what it is hoped t.
accomplish in the way of promot
ing the general welfare Of thu
community.

In 1899 Pope Leo XIII con-
secrated the entire world to the
Divine Heart of Jesus, excluding
no one, neither sinners nor her
etics, nor infidels. He presented
them all to Christ, and prayed
that He would reign over all.
Beautiful is the prayer which he
directed the faithful to recite on
the feast of the Sacred Heart:
"* = = We are Thine, and
Thine we wish to be. Many there
are who have never known Thee.
many who, needing not Thy di-
vine commands, have repudiated
Thee. Have mercy on them both,
most, benign Jesus; draw all man
kind to Thy Sacred Heart. = = -

THE NEW CATHEDRAL.

This week another step was
taken towards the completion of
the new Cathedral when the con-
tract for the massive steel trusses
which will support the roof was
awarded to the St. Paul Foundry
Go. The contract calls for the
delivery of the steel trusses early
in the summer so that there will
be no delay in the putting on of
the roof as soon as the drum of
the dome is completed.
During the past month construc-
ton work has gone on more slow
ly than usual. In fact, for time
it was suspended entirely. The
contractors complained that it was
impossible to procure a sufficient
supply of the right kind Of brick.
The delay was not pleasant, but,
seemingly, it was unavoidable.
The difficulties have now been
overcome and the contractors
promise to push the work with all
possible rapidity
The delay will not prevent the
finishing Of the exterior Of the new
Cathedral this year as was origi-
nally planned. The present con-
tract calls for the completion of
the dome to the top Of the parapet,
and of the granite approaches to
the entrances. When the present
contractors have finished their
work the last block of marble shall
have been placed in position in the
structure. Then the roof will be
put on the main building, on the
massive dome, the chapels, and the
towers. The sculptors will soon
complete their work on the group
of figures above the central rose
window of the facade and when
the scaffolding is removed the
sacred edifce will be revealed in
all its architectural beauty and
symmetry of proportion.
This year, then, will witness the
completion of the exterior of the
new Cathedral-the first stage in
a project which has been watched
with interest, not only by the
Catholics of this diocese, but by
the citizens of the Northwest and,
indeed, of the whole country, with
no small degree of interest.
So far the work has progressed
as rapidly as possible for such a
gigantic undertaking. Funds have
been Forthcoming when needed to
meet all expenses incurred thus
far, and, no doubt, the generosity
Of the faithful will not diminish
until the new Cathedral, complete
in every detail, will stand as a
monument to the faith and zeal
of our Catholic people-an archi-
tectural gem grazing the brow of
city whose inhabitants, irrespec-
tive of class or creed, will point to
it as one of their claims to dis
tinction among the cities of the
nation.

AGNES REPPL|ER
PRAISE FOR A CATHOLIC WRITER
FROM SECULAR PAPER.

Miss Agnes Repplier in her article
"The Cost of Modern Sentiment" pub
lished in the May Atlantic, says the
New York Times, sounds a note which
will be struck, in fact, must be struck
less gently, and in less kindly spirit
frequently in the near future, unless
the social fabric is to be utterly dis.
organized. Miss Repplier writes with
her accustomed facility of phrase in
this essay, and with admirable self
control. The perils of an era in which
Humanity with capital III" is
esteemed so much more important
than duty, domesticity, and taste, are
perfectly clear to her, and the follies
of an hour in which sentiment chiefly
concerns itself with the progress OF
women, the conditions of labor, anC
the social evil, all three commingled
she rebukes with light but certain
touch. This gentlewoman, who has
revealed so large a share of humanity
in her books, would be the last tt
condemn serious reformers, to deny
the right to progress to her own sex
to declare that the conditions Of
labor do not warrant improvement
But in all real philanthropy common
sense is determining factor Miss
Repplier obviously feels that while the
overburdened factory woman refuses
to seek relief from her woes in domes
tic service, she is not entitled to al
the sympathy she receives. She obvi
ously believes, too, that a great many
well-intentioned but emotional reform
ers are talking dangerous nonsense
She does not believe the social order
can be re-established on ga basis Of
pure enthusiasm" Some day in thi:
perplexed community the wisdom tt
which she gives utterance must BIZ
needed ''The reformer," she says
whose heart is in the right place, but
whose head is elsewhere, represents
waste of force, and we cannot af
ford any waste in the conservation Of
honor and goodness. We cannot ever
afford errors of taste and Judgment
The business of leading lives morally
worthy of men is neither simple, mol
easy, nor new"

REFORMING PRISONERS.

The following from the "UhrichvilIe
Chronicle" suggests that the members
OF societies for visiting prisoners,
while doing excellent work, could be
much more effective if they devoted
some of their energy to the total alb
stinence movement:
Admirable and worthy as is the
work OF reforming prisoners, it is far
better to guard against conditions that
produce crime. The penitentiary, the
1ails, the infirmaries, the hospitals for
treatment of those physically and men
tally defective are all results of
wrongs that could be largely reduced,
il not entirely suppressed, by dealing
with causes instead of effects. A wise
physician treats the disease, not the
symptoms. While variety of causes
operated to make prisoners of the men
In the penitentiary, there is one that
overshadows all the others in it's no.
tent effect in undermining character
and lowering moral tone, and that is
Indulgence in intoxicants. The medi-
cal profession now well understands
the destructive erect of the use OF
liquor on the body. It is no less harm
full to mind and morals. A large ma
Jority of the prisoners in the pen were
addicted to drink. Most of them be-
gan drinking before they were Grim
1nals. Most of them became frequent
ers OF places where liquor is sold after
they became drinkers There they
met companions who, like themselves,
were going, or had gone, wrong. One
of the conditions attached to every
parole is that the prisoner keep away
from drink. In most cases where ex-
prisoners go wrong and get into fresh
trouble they begin by going to saloons
and meeting old companions. Drink
and bad associates take them back to
the pen"

THE ORPHANS PICNIC.

The Catholics of Minneapolis
are laboring to make the picnic to
be given on the grounds Of the
Boys Orphanage on July 4th a
record-breaker in point of attend
ance and proceeds. The different
Catholic organizations of the city
have been pressed into service and
to each has been entrusted a spe-
cial feature for the entertainment
of all who patronize the affair.
Ten thousand dinner tickets have
been distributed among the differ
ent parishes and the dining room
will be in charge of the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians and the Women For
esters. The Knights of Columbus
will conduct country store on a
large scale; the League of Catho-
lie Women will have charge of the
ice cream; the members Of the Sc
ton Guild will sell candy and con-
fectionery and conduct a moving
picture show; the Knights of the
Cross will supply the cigars and
take charge Of the selling of them
at the picnic.
One of the important features
of the event is to be a contest for
Queen of the picnic In which six
young ladies from different par
ishes in Minneapolis are engaged
The Pro- Cathedral is represented
by Miss Marie Johnston; the As
cension, by Miss Margaret Smith
st. Stephens, by Miss Bernice
Kohlaas; st. Anthony's, by Miss
Nell Derus; the Incarnation, by
Miss Jane Dumas; and Holy Ros-
airy, by Miss Blanche Farmer.
1t remains for the Catholic peo-
pie of Minneapolis and the general
public to show their appreciation
of the efforts being made to pro-
cure funds to enable the Boys Or
phanage to secure additional room
for those who are entrusted to its
charge.

ENGLISH CHURCH RESTORED
ST. BARTHOLOMEW CHURCH
FOUNDED IN 1923 IS ONE OF
MOST INTERESTING IN LONDON
USED AS A BLACKSMITH SHOP
AND A FRINGE FACTORY.

OF all the famous churches in Lon
don that of ST. Bartholomew the Great
in Smithfield is the most interesting
and the most stimulating to the i'm
agination. 1t stands in Smithfield
close to the hospital known to all stu
dents as "Barts."
Since the monastery was founded
by Raherus or Rahere in 1923, this
church, which once was only the
choir of the monastic church, has sui.
fered strange vicissitudes. In the
northern transept a blacksmith had
his forge and fringe factory was but
recently at work in the Lady Chapel.
So well has the necessary restoration
been done that to the eyes of the
uninitiated it is not apparent.
The tomb of the founder is on the
north of the choir Dressed in the
robes Of his order, Rahere lies with
folded hands and Strengthened limbs,
in calm contentment, a monk kneel.
ing, reading from an open Bible on
each side of him, and an angel at his
feet. Within the tomb his skeleton
and part of a sandal were found a
few years ago.
The oriel on the south side of the
choir may have served as Prior Boil
toms pew, or it may have been the
place whence the sacristan watched
the altar. In any case, it was built
in the sixteenth century, and is adorn-
ed with the Prior's rebus-a bolt
through a ton. Under the Lady
Chapel is a crypt, dim and solemn
place now used as a mortuary chapel
Tombs and monuments, inscriptions
and ornaments are all intensely inter
esting, but what remains clearly in
the memory is the solemnity. the mas
siveness and the enduring beauty of
the building.

PERSONAL AND PUBLIC
HEALTH.

The American Medical Associa-
ton will hold its annual conven-
ton in Minneapolis next week. 1t
will bring together some of the
most eminent physicians and
surgeons in the country and many
topics of interest to the medical
profession will be discussed.
In order to focus public atten-
ton on a very important phase
of medical activity the Associa-
ton has requested that next Sun
days sermon in churches of all
denominations in the Twin Cities
deal with the question of personal
and public health. In order to
ensure an authoritative presenta-
ton of the latest and most ap-
proved scientific knowledge on
this subject, the Association of
fered to place a speaker In the
pulpit Of every church In the Twin
Cities in which such an address
was desired. Many of the non
Catholic churches accepted this
offer; but the Catholic Church
does not tolerate such an innova-
ton.
In order, however, that Catho-
lies may not be deprived of an
opportunity for enlightenment
on this point, the American Med
ical Association requested DIR.

THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

The Committee in charge of the
picnic to be given on the grounds
of St. Thomas College on the
Fourth of July for the benefit of
the House of the Good Shepherd,
is making elaborate preparations
for that event. From present in
dications there is little doubt that
the affair will be an unqualified
success. The various sub-commit-
tees are busily engaged in plan
ming the different features of the
days entertainment, among which
a drill by the st. Thomas Cadets,
a ball game and other sports will
hold a prominent place. The mem
bers of the different committees
are working with enthusiasm and
no efforts are being spared to
make the picnic a social and tinan-
cial success.
The object is a most worthy one
The Sisters Of the Good Shepherd
are engaged in a noble work-one
that appeals to all classes and
creeds. The coming picnic affords
everyone an opportunity to show
appreciation in a substantial
way, and thus encourage the Sis,

The Knights of Columbus of
Marcus, Ia, have been instrument
al in securing the dismissal of
Miss Koch, public school teacher
of that town, who was very active
in circulating the bogus "oath -

It is not too much to expect that
they will soon succeed in bringing
about a change in the local condi-
lions which have prevented all
but one Catholic from being en-
ployed as a teacher in the public
schools of Marcus during the past
forty years.

FATHER BURKE, o. p, ON DRUNK
ENNESS.

Behold the image of God as he
comes forth from the drinking saloon,
where he has pandered to the meanest.
vilest and most degrading of the
senses-the sense of taste. He has
laid down his soul upon the altar of
the poorest devil of them all-the
devil of gluttony Upon that altar he
has left his reason, his affections and
his freedom. Behold him now as he
reels forth, senseless and debauched.
from the drinking house! Where is
his humanity? Where is the image of
God? He is unable to conceive a
thought. He is unable to express an
idea with his babbling tongue, which
pours forth feebly, like child, some
impOtent, outrageous blasphemy
against heaven. Where are his affec-
tons? He is incapable of love; no
generous emotion can pass through
him; no high and holy love can move
that degraded, surfeited heart. The
most that can come to him is the hor-
r1ble demon of impurity, to stir up
within him every foulest and grossest
desire of animal lust Finally, where
is his freedom? Why, he is not able
to walk, not able to stand! He is not
able to guide himself! If child came
along and pushed him, it would throw
him down. He has no freedom left
no will. If, then, the image of the
Lord in man be intelligence the
heart and in the will say this man
is no man. He is standing reproach
to our humanity. He is a deeper and
bitterer degradation to US even than
the absurd theory of Darwin, the Eng
lish philosopher, who tells us that we
are descended from apes. I would
rather consider my ancestor an ape
than see him lying in the kennel,
drunken man. Such one have seen.
have seen man in the streets lying
there drunk-beastly drunk: and

look at him, smell him, wag their tails
and walk off. They could walk, but
he could not.

The Sacred Heart of our Saw
Jour, which was drained of the last
drop of it's precious blood for the
salvation of mankind, still throbs
with unceasing love for those
whom it rescued from sin, and
yearns to cleanse them once more

peal to sinners never ceases. All
who harken to it's gracious plead
ing find purity and peace and the
assurance of an eternal union
with God.

At the suggestion of Bishop
Weller who succeeded the late
Bishop Grafton of the Episco-
palian Diocese of Fond du Lac,
the clergy under his jurisdiction
adopted a resolution to the effect
that hereafter the banns of mar
riage must be announced three
times in church before the cere-
mony can be performed. In this
way the Episcopal Church is
gradually drawing near to the
traditional practice of the Catho-
lie Church. Apart from any re-
hgious significance which this
latest move may have, the triple
publication of the banns of mar
riage is a precaution postulated by
common sense.

A WORK FOR THE SCHOOLS.

Some time ago the public
school children were given a series
of lectures on the necessity of
guarding against accidents to life
and limb. The chief sources of
danger were pointed out and they
were cautioned to give them a
wide berth. Certain rules were
laid down for their guidance and
they were told to bear in mind the
fact that a large proportion of
the accidents that endanger life
is due to negligence.
