NOTED EsPERANTIsT DIES
FATHER RICHARDSON WAS AN
AUTHORITY ON ESPERANTO
WAS PROFESSOR IN BRUSSELS.

The death of the Reverend Austin
Richardson, which was announced last
week from Geneva, removes one of the
most ardent and enthusiastic Catholic
Esperantists in Europe. 1t was while
on the way to the ninth international
Esperanto Congress, held this year at
Berne, that he passed away.
Father Richardson, who had reached
an advanced age, was born of Protes.
tant parentage, and became a convert
in early manhood. The greater part
of his life was spent in Belgium, and
at the time of his death he was Eng
lish Professor at the Institut Saint
Louis, Brussels, a position he had oc-
cupied for many years. He was also
the English confessor to the Cathedral
of Ste. Gudule, where he preached an
English sermon every Sunday morn
ing. Father Richardson enjoyed the
friendship of his Majesty King Albert
of Belgium, and, as leading mem
Der of the British colony in Brussels,
he formed one of the deputation which

accession to the throne. As delegate
in Brussels of the Universal Esperan-
to Association, an organization with
ramifcations almost as wide as the
Church herself, he came in contact
with Esperantists from all parts of the
world, and few Of those who passed
through the Belgian capital failed to
call upon "Abato" Richardson, whose
simple earnestness, youthful vigor and
delightful charm of manner left an i'm
preston that neither time nor distance
could afterwards efface.
He was a great optimist as to the
future of Esperanto, and neither criti-
cism nor derision could shake his be-
lief in the ultimate triumph Of its
aims. It was its possibilities as an
aid to the spread of Catholicism and
as a weapon in its defence that at
tracted him most. Esperanto seemed
to him to be an ideal instrument for
the promotion OF international Cath
olic action

FATHER HUGHES EXPLAINS
THE REASONS WHICH PROMPTED
HIM TO WITHDRAW THE SUIT
INSTITUTED AGAINST THE
SCHOOL BOARD or MANKATo
TO STOP BIBLE READING IN
THE HIGH SCHOOL.

In last weeks issue The Catholic
Bulletin announced the withdrawal of
the legal action begun some months
ago by Reverend Robert Hughes, pas
tor of the Church of St. John, Man
kato, against the School Board of that
city, to stop the practice of Bible read
ing and other religious exercises in
the local high school.
The motives which prompted Father
Hughes to dismiss the proceedings
are set forth by him. in the following
interview:
"The action was commenced against
the board of education for the pur-
pose of stopping a practice which has
been declared to be illegal and which
the courts of other states have
stopped upon complaint being made.
The state superintendent of schools
ruled that this practice was not per-
missible and advised that it be
stopped. The practice had been of
years standing and in the past has
been the cause of considerable en-
barrassment to Catholic children at
tending the public schools and was
objected to by a number of Protes-
tants as well as Catholics.
Il regarded the question as being
purely legal one, and one which
could be settled in proper and legal
manner without creating any bad feel
ing among the people of our city. I
could see then and can see now no
reason why the point involved could
not be determined with the best of
feeling between all concerned. It
seems, however, that such is not the
case, and the more, the matter is dis
cussed the more is the bad feeling
and factional strife engendered.
Fully realizing that such is very
undesirable in this or any other com
munity, deemed it prudent to con-
slider whether or not the good to be
accomplished by a decision of the
question would not be more than out.
weighed by the indirect and baneful
consequences which it seems will be
produced by prosecution of the &C.
ton. To this end, decided to con.
fer with some of tEe most representa-.
tive citizens of Mankato, and after
careful consideration discussed at
length the entire situation with the
following gentlemen: Charles T. Tay.
lor, George M. Palmer and Rev. T.
Ross Paden, and after consulting with
these gentlemen and my attorneys, ii
appeared to me that considering the
question from all standpoints, il
might be best for all concerned that
the action be withdrawn provided
that attendance at the morning exer.
c1ses in question be not made com.
pulsory and that those preferring to
remain absent therefrom be granted
such privilege. l feel that consider.
able ill feeling and factional strife
between our citizens will be avoided
and this is too weighty a considera.
ton to be lightly put aside. Under
all the circumstances felt it best to
withdraw the action upon the above
conditions and have instructed my at.
torneys accordingly"

THE BIBLE IN GAELIC

Gaelic gathering in Galway. 1t is only
falr to remember the excellent ex-
ample set more than sixty years ago
by Archbishop MacHale of Tuam in
his Irish translation of the Pentateuch.
1t may be well to add that this was
intended to form the first part of an
Irish translation of the whole Bible;
and though, unhappily, the work has
stood still for fifty years, new and
possibly revised edition of the Arch
bishops version may even yet serve
as the starting-point of better or
ganized and more successful effort.
Plan for Translation.
In the case of parts of the Bible, at
any rate, much might be done by re-
Vising or adapting the Catholic YER
sions already in existence. And it
may not be amiss to add that some
such process of appropriation or re-
dactlon has been the common practice
of those who gave us the familiar
English versions, whether Catholic or
Protestant; and, in fact, this was one
OF the instructions given to the
makers of the Authorized Version.
But here, again, as We saw the other
day in the case of the old Latin Bible,
even those who have no written YER
sion of the Sacred Books at hand need
not therefore give new or original rem
derings. And certainly Irish Gaelic
would furnish an excellent illustration
OF the theory Of traditional transla-
tion-if only the work be undertaken
by those who are familiar with Gaelic
religious literature, with it's prayers
and hymns, and sermons, and cateche-
tical instructions. For in that litera-
ture the whole subject matter of the
Bible comes in another form, and pas
sages from the sacred text are contin-
ually being quoted or condensed or
paraphrased. And the true Irish
translator, while he goes to the Vul-
gate (or, if so be, the Greek or He
BREW for the meaning of the text,
will set it forth in no new words, but
in words that are already familiar to
Irish Catholic readers.
AAS last 16n6CI1O0 may serve 10
remove reproach that may be sug-
gested to some who read the Galway
resolution, and suppose that for want
of familiar version the Bible must
be unknown to the Catholic Gaels. For
in truth, though they may not have
had the advantage Of reading the sa-
cred text for themselves, the religious
literature of our people is full of
Biblical matter and stepped In Bibli-
cal language. Some OF the Oldest
Gaelic words we have read are the
ninth century glosses that interpret
the Epistles of st. Paul And If our
earliest literature began in this at
tempt to paraphrase the sacred text
in Gaelic, the fruits of these efforts
are seen in the rich religious prayers
and poetry that survive not in books
or parchments, but in the hearts and
on the lips Of the Irish people,"

lift my voice to Thee, Oh Lord.
o, turn in silence not away,
Lest / become like one of these
Who downward take their wicked way.
Hear Thou my supplfcations, Lord,
When / lift up my hands to Thee,
And draw me far from wicked men,
And those that work iniquity.
Who speaketh to a neighbor peace,
And worketh evil in his heart,
Give him according to his works,
According to his lying art.
They would not understand His works,
The operations of His hand,
And SO He shall not build them up,
They shall be swept from out the land.
Oh, let me ever praise the Lord,
He listened to my sigh and. prayer,
He helped me in my time of need,
When l confided to His care.
Now when / flourish in my strength,
With grateful heart His praise sing,
The help of all that call his name,

SISTER HONORED BY KING
PRESENTED WITH SILVER MEDAL
IN RECOGNITION OF HER sERV-
ICES TO LEPERS AND POOR IN
INDIA-MIRAcULoUsLY CURED
OF LEPROSY.

Sister Catherine, of the Order OF
st. Joseph of the Apparition, who
has been Infrmarian in the LepeT
Hospital at Rangoon, India, has been
presented with silver medal as a
recognition of her services by the
English Government in Rangoon. It
would seem that the religious has well
deserved this kind compliment from
King George.
For ten years Sister Catherine has
nursed the little boys and girls in the
Refuge at Rangoon with marvelously
devoted care. No case of leprosy is
too advanced or too repugnant for her
attention, and the most malignant
wound is tended with maternal love
and kindness. No duty is too hard
or too trying for this brave religious,
who is also ever ready to be the
bright, cheerful companion of her
stricken patients. She is always smil-
ing and joyful; gayety is her constant
companion.
Sister Catherine works in the gar
den with her little charges and makes
and mends their clothes. The good
nun contracted leprosy herself, but her
miraculous cure has been verified by
several doctors. The Order to which
Sister Catherine belongs has educa-
tional establishments in other parts
of India and has, at least, one convent
in England. These Sisters also nurse
the sick and display much devoted
ness in their care of the wounded in
the hospitals in Tripoli and Bulgaria.

GAELIC LEAGUE ASKS IRISH 5lsH-
OPS FOR THE BIBLE IN GAELIC
-TRANSLATIoN BEGUN SIXTY
YEARS AGO BY ARCHBISHOP
MacHALE-sAcRED TEXT QUOT
ED IN GAELIC LITERATURE.

The Gaelic League has appealed to
the Catholic Bishops of Ireland for
a translation of the Sacred Scrip
lures into the Irish language.
At recent meeting of the Ard
Feis in Galway, a resolution to this
effect was formally propounded, the
league promising to give all the as
sistance necessary.
In discussing the need for Gaelic
version the London Tablet says:
In happier circumstances, Ireland,
we suppose, would have been one of
the first nations provided with a
Catholic Bible in the national Ian
guage; for, apart from the troubles
and wars and prosecutions, there
could be no reason for denying to
this people privilege enjoyed by
other nations. There are some who
speaking people as an insignificant
minority. But, after all, it is only
in comparatively recent years that
their numbers have been reduced.
Eighty years ago the Catholics of
Gaelic speech would have outnum-
bered those who spoke English; and
even at the present moment their
numbers must be more than equal to
the Catholic population Of England
at the time when the revision of the
English Catholic Bible was under
taken by Cardinal Newman. Their
claims for an adequate Bible in their
own tongue are thus well worthy of
consideration, even apart from the
motive of national and historical
sentiment. It may be true, as some
critics object, that the number of
those who read Gaelic is smaller than
the number of those who speak it.
But thanks to the efforts of the Gae.
lie League there is some Improvement
in this proportion. And even at a
low estimate the number of Gaelic
readers may well be as great as the
number of Catholics who read an
English Bible.
Archbishop MacHale's Work.
1T is certainly a matter Of grave
regret that this work was not taken
in hand many years ago. But, when
we consider the difficulties in the way
of the work and the many other calls
on the time and energy of the Irish
clergy, we may possibly find some sort
of explanation. Be this as it may, it
would be a mistake to suppose that
nothing whatever has been attempted
in the past, or that there is now little
or no prospect of successful accom-
plishment of the great work demanded
by the aforesaid resolution of the
