take place before priest and in the
presence of two witnesses. In this
connection it may be we'll to state that
the Catholic party to mixed marriage
must promise to do all that lies in
her power, both by word and ex-
ample, to bring about the conversion
of her non-C Catholic husband g. They
may be; but it is very difficult to
determine the circumstances under
which mixed marriages are likely to
turn out happy. The fact that a few
mixed marriages have proved happy
cannot be looked upon as proof that
all mixed marriages will bring happi-
ness to the contracting parties. The
difference in religion is a serious one
and those who look forward to a
happy marriage where each belongs
to different religion are taking great
chances and opening the way to all
sorts of differences likely to make the
marriage anything but a happy one.

Present Status.

At the present time the society is
composed of about 80 superior, 40 Gen.
trail and $50 particular councils, COM
prising 5000 conferences, with $4,000
active and 100000 honorary members.
The vast sum of three million of dol
lars is annually collected and disbursed
for the relief of the suffering and un-
fortunate. Every conference is held to
make an annual report to the superior
council of its circumscription, whence
it goes to the council-general in Paris,
and a report for the whole society is
issued. This is very important and
should not be overlooked by any con-
ference, as the keeping of correct sta,
tistics is a most vital part of the so
ciety. The official organ of the society
is The Bulletin, published in Dublin,
Ireland.

FOUNDING Of SAN FRANCISCO
OLD SPANISH DOCUMENT JUST
DECIPHERED FIXES DATE BE-
FORE BIRTH OF THE NATION.

An old Spanish ecclesiastical docu-
ment in the possession of the Univer-
sity of California has yielded a new
story of the founding of San Francisco,
which places the. date on March q,
1776, before the birth of the nation
The document is in the Robert E.
MCGOWAN collection, presented by the
late Coils P. Huntington, and it tells
of the journey from Sonora, Mexico,
of Padre Pedro Font, who founded a
mission at Yuma, Arizona, then
crossed at San Diego and moved up
the coast to San Francisco.
There, ION the extremity of the
white cliff at the inner point of the
entrance to the harbor" the cross was
planted and a settlement established

gregation in Mott Street, and was ag-
gregated in the year 1916. In the year
1857 the particular council of New
York City, and in the year 1860 the
superior council of New York were or
ganized. The first printed report of
this council was issued in the year
1864, and showed 81 conferences with
1929 members. At the present time
the superior council of New York COM
prises four central and 80 particular
councils, with 487 conferences and
1902 members, and the annual collec-
lions are about 100000; 10000 fam
lilies, with $4,000 persons, were re
lieved in the year 1909, and 10000
visits made by it's members.
Cities with a large number of con-
ferences in the superior council of
New York are: New York City, Sc;
Philadelphia, Sc; Boston, A: Pitts
burg, Al; Baltimore, %, and Provi-
dence, R. l., 26.
In the year 1879 the superior council
of New Orleans was instituted. This
council comprises Is conferences in
and five conferences outside the city
of New Orleans. At the international
conference, held at Richmond, Va, in
the year 1909, new superior council,
that of Chicago, ILL.,, was constituted.
The conferences comprising both of
these councils were taken from the
superior council of New York, which
is increasing rapidly Besides the
above named councils, there is the
particular council of Brooklyn, N. Y,
with 45 conferences, which is not at
tackled to any superior council.

The Church Is Ultimate Authority.

2. That doctrine of personal re-
sponsibility which requires investi-
cation of the foundations of religious
truth is scarcely known among Cath
olics. The Church is to them the ulti-
mate authority. What the Church de-
fines and proclaims it is the duty of
the faithful to accept and believe
without question, and this covers
practically all except metaphysical
and speculative questions, which both
priest and people are advised to let
alone. The rigid anti-modernist oath
which the clergy in America appear
to have taken without demur is in
tended to guard the flock by securing
the shepherd.

Definite and Fixed Faith.

L. us Ialtn. 1t is definite and
liked faith, not to be revised or
amended, and it is believed by the
priests and taught scrupulously and
loyalty. The Mass, the great central
act of worship, is preserved unchang.
ed in the ritual of the one language
To the great body of believers the
Latin is an unknown tongue, but they
are familiar with every act in the serv.
ice and understand it's significance
They know the meaning of baptism
of confirmation and all the other
sacraments which are object lessons
in the faith, and they are drilled in all
the personal acts of devotion from
the earliest age. There is nothing in
the whole round of their religious
life to suggest doubt as to any arti
Gle of belief. They hear no higher
criticism from their pulpits, they get
none of it in their religious books
and papers; they look with horror
upon doubt and unbelief. Their faith
is first and last and all to them. They
may know that many Italians, Ger
mans, French and other Europeans
are hostile to the Church, but they re
gard them as renegades and simply
as examples to be summed To be in
the Church means salvation and safe.

Archbishops, it's dioceses and pro-
Vlnces, its religious houses and edu-
cational institutions, its churches and
its material equipment in a remarka-
bic degree to care for this rapid &C.
cession of more than 100000 COM

in the last sixteen years from $118.-
1S3,O46 in 1890 to $292,63S,787 in
1906, or nearly 148 per cent increase.
Reasons for the Growth.
How are we to account for this
enormous growth in numbers? OBJ
vlously immigration has played the
most important part in this tremend-
GUS advance. So far as known, there
have been no extraordinary drifts of
non-Cathollcs to that communion.
The Church has been so busily occu-
pied in caring for it's own population
that it has had little time for appeals
to Protestants.
1t is a great thing to hold in the
bosom of one Church so many and
such diverse nationalities as go to
make up the 12,50O,OOO of the Roman
communion in the United States, par
ticularly when it is remembered that
the central government at Rome is
Italian and the Archbishops and Bish-
ops are American, mainly of Irish and
German descent. There are populous
parishes of Poles, Italians, of b.
hemians, often with priests of other
nationalities in charge. There are
elements of dissension in such bodies
as the Greek and other Oriental Uni
ats, accustomed in Europe to some
privileges (as married clergy)
which are denied them here. What
are the cohesive amalgamating forces
which hold the masses of the faithful
so firmly together?

American Branches.

Like other societies, the Society of
st. Vincent de Paul has found in our
own country most fertile field where
in the seed OF charity has greatly
flourished. The first conference in the
United States was established in St.
Louis, No., by Rev. Ambrose ]. Helm,
a German priest, in the Cathedral
parish, on November IA, 1916, where
also the first superior council was or
ganized later on. This council COM
prises 56 conferences in and Is con-
ferences outside the city of st. Louis,
and is called the upper council.

was established in St Patrick's con-

Manual Of the Society.

In the year 1851 the manual of the
society was compiled, containing the
rules, letters of the presidents-general,
edicts of the Holy See, concise his
tory of the society and the life of ST.
Vincent de Paul, and a list of the in
dulgences and prayers of the society.
In the year 1858 an explanation of the
rules was added and printed for the
first time. Briefs in favor of the So
ciety were issued by Popes Gregory
XVI, Plus TX, Leo XIII and Plus x,
for it always had the special protection
of the Holy See, and was repeatedly
blessed and endowed with numerous
privileges and indulgences for it's men,
bers and their families, to contributors
and benefactors, and to all the fam
lilies visited and relieved. In the year
1851 His Eminence Cardinal Fornari
was appointed by the Pope Cardinal
protector of the society, this Office be-
ing held at present by His Eminence
Cardinal Vannutelli. In the year 1888
the golden jubilee was celebrated with
appropriate services throughout the
society.

Training of Children.

8. The systematic instruction of
the children is of inestimable value
in preserving the unity and solidarity
of the Roman Catholic Church.
Train up a child in the way he
should go and when he is old he will
not depart from it." is a Scriptural
maxim which the Fathers keep con-
stantly before their minds. When
the individual is at the age of great
est receptivity and least reflection
the tenets of the faith are impressed
upon his plastic mind and the impress
can hardly be obliterated.
4. The system of instruction en-
thrones the Church, the one Church,
establishes its supreme authority, its
divine right to claim obedience to
all its rules and inculcates the habit
of prayer, of the constant use of

SUNBURN

.... SUNBONN
SunbuTn is an aiIment, an yadOrn-
ment or proof that you had get
that. HAD!-the price of two weeks
at the sea shore.
And, by the way, we've got to hand
it to Old Sol. When he starts out he
certainly does things up BROWN!
Many admire and covet a nice
coat of sunburn. Their personal
tastes vary from the tint of an old
Mexican saddle to the delicate blush
of a roast-beef-rare sandwich.
At summer resorts persons with
white cuticle are as much at home
as a pale-face at an Indian snake
dance,
Here's a good receipt for sunburn:
First take a dip in the briny. Re
cline on the sand, broken glass and
assorted lunch relics from noon until
four. Then add more water and
serve.
That evening you have all the SEN
sations of loIling on bed Of roses
with the thorns pointed up. You'll
be SORE at yourself, believe me!
But never say die. The next day go
out on the seashore again in your
SalOme fiannels.
This time you'll feel like a scorch-
ed, warmed-over pork chop!
KEEP IT UP.
Then-when you begin to peel il
large sheets like a bank calendar
You'll know that the game is WON!
You'll be the hit at all the dances,
and if you're clever you can pretend

you got your suitcase complexion
while sojourning in the tropics.
The height Of physical peril is for
man to have a fresh case of sum
burn and a birthday at the same time.
Getting clapped on a raw section be-
tween the shOuldeT-blades by loving
friends is-well, a cat O. nine tails
is a whisk broom compared with it !
Young women returning from their
summer vacations have a hard time
reconciling evening dress with sum-
mer tan. One can't unlock ones
coat of tan like a sweater. AS a rule
the tan leaves off on the neck some
distance from the place where an
evening gown takes up the melody.
And pOwdering summer tan makes
the girlie's skin look like a hiking
shoe that got lost in an alkai desert.
But never mind, girls. Any one
who makes fun of summer tan is Just
a jealous boob who doesn't know
that tan is a sign of health and out
door life. Such a low person hasn't
the price of a vacation and takes his
outings in one of the City's six best
cellars" -rathskellars.
You should worry!
