MIXED MARRIAGES
A SWISS EXAMPLE THAT SHOWS
HOW TO PREVENT THEM.

The question how to counterfeit the
evil of mixed marriages" which
sometimes result in the total loss of
faith on the part of the Catholic, or
cause dissension, if not alienation, in
the home circle, has been discussed
in the Ecclesiastical Review from the
pastoral standpoint in various ways.
Excellent suggestions have been
made as to the manner in which a
pastor may use his influence and espe
cially the opportunity given him to
eliminate prejudice and laxity in the
candidates by inducing them to go
through preparatory course of in
struction regarding the obligations of
the marriage state. This method, al
ready introduced in several dioceses,
has, as statistics have shown, result
ed in bringing about conversions
which would have been practically
impossible after the union of the dis
senting parties had taken place.
A new solution of the problem is
presented in a community in the
Swiss parish of Willengen, Canton of
st. Gall The movement is most cred
liable to the women folk of the place
and we may presume to their parish
priest, who must have been its in
spirer.
The women had perhaps the ad-
vantage in possessing positive faith,
which demands from them conform
ity and practice, often with consider
able sacrifice; whereas the men were
in more or less negative attitude
by reason of religious Indifference
growing out of the Protestant system
of private judgment. The initiative,
therefore, of altering this condition of
things naturally devolved upon the
women.
They proved themselves equal to
the task. Realizing the evils general
ly resulting from mixed marriages the
manageable girls, the young women
and widows of Wellengen, formed an
association with the object of not
marrying under any circumstances a
Protestant sutton, that is, unless he
was willing to change his religion.
The association excited curiosity,
which its members were at all times
ready and willing to relieve. The
men began to think. A great interest
in religion was awakened. Those who
at first are most reluctant to consider
the condition laid down, naturally
make the best husbands and the best
converts.
1t il a commonplace Of observation
that If young man really loves a
girl, and she lets him understand that
before she can entertain any thought
Of uniting her life to his for good he
must examine her religion, so as to
put aside every prejudice arising from
ignorance of it, she can easily induce
him, if he be a reasonable man, and
one who could be likely to make a
woman happy in marriage, to go with
her through a brief but thorough
course of instruction under the guild
ance of the priest or some intelligent
lay catechist. Under such circum-
stances proper presentation Of the
Catholic truth to a well-intentioned
man must lead to the union OF faith in
both parties and thereby give guar
sntee of a good understanding and
fl1e blessing OF a Catholic household.
The Swiss maids not only know
their power over the heart worth en-
gaging To, but they show also sin

WOMEN'S WORK IN OTHER
LANDS.

In view of the proposed organ
ization of an American League of
Catholic Women at next week IS
convention of the Federation of
Catholic Societies in Milwaukee,
it may not be uninteresting to our
readers to learn what has been ac-
complished in the way of organ
lied activity among Catholic
women in European countries.
The following extract is taken
from a pamphlet prepared by the
Most Reverend Archbishop Mess
mer:
cit was really at the beginning
of the present century that Cath
Ollie women began to unite and
organize for the purpose of social
and charitable work according to
Catholic principles. In Germany
the Catholic Women's Associa-
ton, national body, was formed
in 1903 in order to unite and sys-
tematize the various activities of
Catholic women societies. It
counts today $50 active societies
with over $4,000 members and 419
affiliated societies with about
100000 members. 1t has, I be-
lieve, the most perfect and won
derful organization of any wom-
ems league in the world. It's OBJ
ject is (1) to effect a systematic
cooperation of the manifold ac-
Invites of German Catholic
Women societies; (2) to offer its
members proper instruction and
information on the modern WON
an question; (3) to lead it's mem
bers towards happy solution of
this great question on the basis
of Catholic thought and inspira-
ton by charitable and social
work. At the Eueharistic Con
gress in Vienna, last September,
it had a special representative in

pointed by the Holy Father him.

By a declaration of the Sacred
Penitentiary published June 6,
1913, it is decided that the jubilee
indulgence proclaimed March s,
1913, may be gained each time
that the prescribed works are per-
formed and may be applied to the
souls in Purgatory, but those who
wish to gain the indulgence more
than once are not granted a repe-
tition of other special concessions;
such as committing the prescribed

THE PENALTY OF GREAT
NESS.

It is now generally acknowl-
edged that the Knights of Column
bus is the foremost society among
Catholic laymen, that it's members
are better qualified than those Of
any other organization to enhance
the prestige, extend the influence
and foster the growth Of the
Church in this western world.
The numerical growth Of the
Order during the past decade of
years has been phenomenal and
it's effectiveness as an agency in
advancing the welfare of the
Church has been equally great.
It has given evidence of the in
terest which it takes in the gen
eral welfare of the Church in
America by securing for the Cath
Ollie University at Washington an
endowment Of half a million dol
lars, in addition to establishing a
chair of American History in that
institution for which it collected
the sum Of fifty thousand dollars.
The state and the local councils of
the Order are engaged in multi
tudes Of charitable and educa-
tional projects all of which have
for ultimate object the advance
ment of the interest Of religion
and the incubation of a more
loyal and devoted Catholic spirit
It was to be expected, there
fore, that numerous projects, more
or less worthy, would be placed
before it for consideration by
those who are interested in vari.
GUS phases Of Church activity
Among the latest projects which
the National Council has been
asked to make it's own are the es.
tablishment of national sanitar-
ium for Catholic consumptives
and the founding of cheap hotels
and free employment agencies In
the larger cities for the benefit OF
the "down and outs. !"
The latter suggestion put forth
some weeks ago by "The Morn
ing Star" Of New Orleans, il
based upon the commendablt
showing made by st. Vincent
Hotel, which was established two
years ago by Father Wynhover
of that city for unemployed lab
orers and transients. This hote
is modelled after Father Demp
sey's hotel Of st. Louis and pro
vides food, shelter and the ordi
nary comforts of home for the I'M
employed who have no place tc
go. The hotel has been a great
success and Father Wynhoven de
serves great credit for the prac
teal manner In which he has
helped to solve the problem Of
lodging and employment for The
many thousands who have patron
lied his hotel. Father Wynhoyer
is enthusiastic about the project
and has written to Supreme
Knight Flaherty about the mat
ter and has received an encOur-
aging reply. The Morning Star

81 would recommend" said
Archbishop Christie, addressing
the convention of the Washing
ton State Federation of Catholic
Societies, "that you strive to in
troduce into every Catholic home
a weekly visit from a Catholic
newspaper. This will strengthen
our Catholics by instruction and
in great part prevent leakage
from the church. A home with
out a Catholic paper is like a
school without God, and we find
that in such homes there are those
who miss Mass and neglect the
sacraments and their other relig-
ious duties. -

LARGE TRACT BURNED OVER.
Little Damage Was Done Near Brattle-
boro by Flames.

Brattleboro, Aug 2l.--A fire which
broke out late Tuesday afternoon near
the property OF p. Fleming on Broad
brook near the junction of Vernon street
and the Guilford roads buried so briskly
that the fire wardens of both Brattle-
borro and Vernon were notified, as was
Mr.. Fleming. A gang of about 20 men,
some from Brattleboro and some from
Vernon, fought the fire until well into
the evening.
Automobile patries returning by the
river road from the pageant at Old Deer
field found smoke very thick and drove
hurriedly through it.
Yesterday morning the fire had broken
out again and at noon men from the
Vermont Last Block company's plant
were fighting it and word had been sent
again TO Fire Warden j. G. Stafford of
this town.
Mr.. Fleming says he believes the fire
was started last Friday, when Tree War
den George Bishop was burning brush
in that locality, and that the warden
was notified once to put out the fire
and went down there and apparently
did so.
Mr.. Fleming was there with several
men Tuesday night and expressed his
opinion that the fire burned over some
twelve acres. He says that little of the
burned was of value as timber
