CHRISTIANITY IN TURKEY
MANY RELIGIOUS ORDERS AND
CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONS ESTA5-
LIsHED IN TURKEY, BUT UNDER
THE PROTECTION or FRANCE.

Among the religious orders repre-
sented in the Turkish Empire are:
the Jesuits, who have established the
University of St. Joseph at Beyrut,
the Assumptionists, at Constantinople,
the Brothers Of the Christian Schools
who have some 400 pupils, with 5
colleges at Constantinople, s at Smyrna
and others at Salonica and Angora,
the Capuchins in Armenia, Asia
Minor, Syria, the Lazarists at Beyrut,
the Carmelites at Bagdad, Tripoli, the
Salesians in Palestine, the Sisters OF
st. Vincent de Paul, the Sisters OF
Notre Dame of Sion, with schools In
Constantinople, the Dominicans, at
Mossul and Jerusalem. In 1910, a nor
NAL school was established at Rhodes
to educate members of religious con-
gregations to act as teachers in the
East. All these missions are officially
placed under the protectorate OF
France. For the most part the mis-
sicnaries are French, but there are
also large number Of Germans,
Italians and English. There is con-
siderable rivalry shown the Catholic
bodies by the Jewish Alliance and the
Protestant missions Of Germany,
America and England.

COPTIC BIBLE
PRINTED EDITION OF coPTlc
MANUSCRIPT OF THE THIRD
CENTURY JUST ISSUED BY THE
BRITISH MUSEUM-A TRANsLA-
TIoN OF PART OF THE BIBLE
CONFIRMS EARLY MoNASTIc
TRADITIONS.

The British Museum authorities
have just issued printed edition of
an important papyrus volume which
was found in Egypt last year.
The original Coptic manuscript is
the oldest known copy of any trans
lation of a considerable portion of
the Greek Bible, and, in fact, says the
London Times, is probably as early
as any copy now in existence Of any
considerable part of the Bible.
1t comprises the books of Deuter-
onomy, Jonah and the Acts, and was
evidently a copy made by some de-
vout person for his private use from
a pre-existing document.
Proof is, therefore, afforded that
copies of the Egyptian-that is to
say, Coptic-translation of books of
both testaments were in use among
Egyptian Christians early in the
fourth century-the period to which
Dr. Kenyon ascribes the British Mu-
scum papyrus-and consequently the
origin of the version itself cannot be
placed later than the third century.
Early monastic traditions concern
ing the spread of Christianity in
Egypt are thus confirmed
The manuscript had been well used
by it's original possessors, for it was
found that the back binding had
been strengthened with strips of vel
lum when it was repaired some time
before the middle of the fourth CEN
tury.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced by the museum experts in ham
ding the ancient papyrus. Many of
the 100 leaves were worm-eaten, the
edges were much rubbed and it was
at first found impossible to copy it,
for at every turning the ink flew off
the page.
The authorities therefore took the
book to pieces and mounted each leaf
separately between two pieces of
glass.
In the printed edition just pub
lished under the title of "Coptic Bib
lical Texts in the Dialect Of Upper
Egypt" the Coptic text is printed
line for line and column by column
readings from the Greek being added
Plates showing the papyrus and the
mutilated and defaced conditions OF
the writing are also included, and
there is an Introductory description OF
the manuscript

GUILD OF CATHOLIC WOMEN

One of the purposes for which the
Guild of Catholic Women of st. Paul

girls coming to the city and afford
them whatever assistance they need
in finding home and work. Mrs.
Margaret Connolly, who has been

a very capable woman. She has done
work, and has had experience that
fits her to make a pronounced success
of this newer kind of charitable
endeavor.
Catholic girls coming to the city
should get directions from her on
their arrival at the Union Depot. She

NEW KENR|CK SEMINARY
PARK" is BEING MADE
READY FOR cEREMONIOUS
ROUND-BREAKING FOR NEW
ST. LOUIS SEMINARY.

The initial move toward the erec-
tion of the new Kenrick Seminary,
st. Louis, Mo-, took place recently, in
the commencement of the work of
wrecking the Drummond mansion, on
the site of which the stately new
building is to arise.
The mansion occupies the highest
point on tract of three hundred and
seventy acres in st. Louis County, to
be known-in honor of the Archbishop
as Glennon Park. This tract was
acquired some time ago by the Catho-
lie Diocese of St. Louis as the site for
the seminary, now at 1923 Cass ave-
nue.. 1t was at first planned to make
the old mansion, which is strongly
built and in state of good preserva-
tion, part of the seminary buildings,
but the plan was abandoned, as the
structure was not at all of seminary
architecture and it's location compli-
Gated the design. Some of the stone
of which the mansion was built will be
used in the new seminary buildings,
plans for which have practically been
completed by the architects, Comes,
limbs & Preuss.
The breaking of ground for the new
seminary will be ceremonious event
but the date and the details have not
yet been decided upon.

CATHOLIC TRAVELLERS AID

no place to go on their arrival in the
city will be sent direct to the Catholic
Guild Hall, STA st. Peter Street, where
they will be given accommod odations
either temporarily or permanently.
This home was opened a year ago
and during that time has more than
fulfilled the expectation of it's pro-
moters. 1t has proved so successful
that plans will soon be made for the
erection of more commodious build
ing in the near future. Mothers from
the country are invited to visit the
home and place their daughters who
seek employment in st. Paul under
the care Of the Guild of Catholic
Women who are always ready to
afford proper protection to innocent
and unsuspecting girls who come to
the city to make living.
1t is very probable that in the
course of time the work being done by
the Guild of Catholic Women will
receive substantial encouragement
and help from friends outside the city
who cannot fail to appreciate the fact
that it cannot be carried on without a
large expenditure of money. Full
information about the Catholic Guild
Hall was published in The Catholic
Bulletin of February Is.
The Guild of Catholic Women has
published a yearbook which contains
much information about the work Of
the Guild Hall and the other COM
mendable activities of the Society.
Those who desire to purchase a copy
of the report, can do so by applying to
the Guild.
The st. Paul Catholic Travellers
Aid cooperates with fellow workers in
Chicago, st. Louis and other leading
cities and, therefore, girls who come
from distant points will be cared for

Rahilly of Lake City, took place at
the home of Mrs. D. o. Irwin on
Saturday, March s. Many friends Of
Mr.. Rahilly assembled to congratu-
late him on the long span of years
allotted to him and upon the activity

Mr. Rahilly has made his home in

an active part in everything that was
for the welfare of the community and.
the State. He served three terms in
the House of Representatives and one

robust and interested in current
affairs. He is type of the sturdy

UNIQUE ST. PATR|CK's
DAY CELEBRATION
THE CATHOLICS OF AUSTIN,
MIMI, HELD A GREAT TEN
PERANCE DEMONSTRATIONS
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN
IN THE TOTAL ABSTINENCE
SOCIETY.

AS far as we know there is no
other parish in America which cele-
brates ST. Patrick's Day in such
unique way as that of st. Augustine in
Austin, MINI. For the past seven
years, under the direction of the Right
Reverend Mgr Devlin, the Catholics
of Austin have commemorated the
anniversary of Ireland's patron Saint
by holding a total abstinence demon
stration in which the members of st.
Augustine's Total Abstinence Society
take leading part. This society has
a membership of two hundred and
fifty, composed entirely of men of the
parish over sixteen years of age. Each
year they assemble in body in the
Church of ST. Augustine on st.
Patrick's Day to attend High Mass,
listen to an appropriate sermon and
renew the total abstinence pledge,
after which they march through the
street accompanied by a band and
bearing the regalia of the Society, the
green flag of Ireland and the Stars
and Stripes.
This year the celebration took
place on Saturday, March 15. Despite
the inclement weather, which rem
dered it impossible for people from
the country to attend, more than one
hundred and fifty members of the So
ciety occupied the places reserved for
them in the church. High Mass was
celebrated by the pastor, Right Rev
erend Mgr. Devlin, and sermon was
preached by the Rev. J. M. Reardon
of st. Paul. At the close of the
services the members of the Society
renewed the pledge and number of
new names we're added to the roster.
After Mass the Society formed for
the parade and, preceded by the band,
marched through the principal streets
of the town. A unique feature of the
procession was the presence of about
twenty-five members of the Society on
horse back. The parade ended at Co
lumbus school where dinner was
served by the women of the parish.
This annual event is looked forward
" Will great pAcdSuI V@uy lAS MSM-
bers of the Society and of the parish,
as well as by their non-Catholic fellow
citizens. 1t is public demonstration
in favor of total abstinence which
exercises a great moral influence on
the community at large. 1t is GER
tainly unique, and withal, very ap-
propriate celebration of st. Patrick s
Day. 1t is to be regretted that this
method of commemorating the day is
not more common than it is. Mgr.
Devlin is to be commended for the
stand he has taken in this matter and
for the salutary influence exercised
upon the public at large by the Catho-
lie people of his parish.

PSALM XVIII.
coELI. ENARRANT.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes HieIscher.)

Upon the scroll of arching blue
God writes His glories. Every star
Shews forth His work The moon
and sun
In streams of splendor fling afar
The wonders of His mighty power.
Day unto day declares His might,
AS floods of light sweep DER the land !;
Night speaks his name unto the
night.
His glory spreads through all the
world,
His bridal chamber is the sun,
His eyes flash from the east to west,
And none can from His presence
run.
The law Of God unspotted is,
And little ones His wonders know;
His justice gladdens every heart
And makes the eyes with rapture
glow.
The fear of God is holy fear,
The judgments of the Lord are
true,
More precious far than gems or gold
And sweeter than the honey dew.
From secret sins cleanse Thou my
soul,
And make me without spot or stain
Teach me to think upon Thy ways,
And sing the glories of Thy reign

SECOND BASE IS
 DETROIT 100000

Detroit, Dec. 18-If ever it could be said that 5inx took root in one par ticular spot and refused to move this statement is true of the second base position on the Detroit baseball club.
 Ever since Germany Schaefer was turned loose in 1909, the Tigers have been trying to find a man who could play the position satisfactorily, both as regards hitting and fielding, but up to the present time they haven't succeeded. The names of the men who have essayed to hold down the job are legion, yet there hardly has been a consecutive fortnight when Jennings was satisfied.
 Several times the player has. been found who could perform part of the duties of the place in a highly pleas ing manner. Jim Delahanty, for in stance, could hit like dend, but his defensive work resenb1ed that of a sieve trying to stop a leak.
 Several of the successors have made good in the field, notably Bill Lou den, but their hitting has been all most invisible to the naked eye.
 O'Leary, Bill Louden, Oscar Witt, Baumann and others have had a chance and each has shown certain talents, but no one among them has made the grade in the general aver age department. It is a very open question who will play the keystone bag in 1914.
 Second base is a mighty important position. Experts have named it the "key to the inf1eld,'' and it's a poor structure whose keystone is faulty. Ability to cover ground, to field ground balls c1ean1y, to handle throws, to touch runners and to bat is de- manded of the finished middle bag man. If he is noticeably deficient in any of these departments. he iname- diately becomes a drawback, for he gets so much work and of such var jed sorts that his weakness is con- tinual1y hurting the club.

uable information regarding the needs of the county, particularly relative to sanitation, the facilities for caring for the sick, the things necessary for the prevention of disease, and the sort of instruction in sanitation and hygiene needed in the public schools. The nurse took care of several cases of critical illness and did considerable so- ciaI service work in improving condi- tions in many homes, in having certain children properly clothed and fed, ahd in other similar ways. A tuberculosis and educational motion-picture ex- hibit prepared by the State Depart ment of Health was, secured for the county, by the district nurse and thir- teen entertainments attended by 2,50O. people were given l.
 Affiliated Organizations.
 Local community improvement as- sociations were organized in every viT- lage, wherever possible. They have been very active in securing physical Improvements, such as cement and stone sidewalks, electric lighting, will 1age parks, play grounds, clean streets, new. school buildings, etc. Through these local associations, inter-viIIage cooperation was made possible by the County Improvement Association in arranging for county 1yceum lecture and entertainment course. Advanta- geous rates were obtained and five numbers of high order were given at several different places in the county at a low rate for each course.
 : The Bennington County Improve ment Association is financed by an nual dues from it's members, and by contributions from certain members, who constitute the roll of honor, and by others designated as sustaining members. Nearly 600 regular mem bers pay a fee of $1 per year each. Ten sustaining members each contrib uted $1O0; one on the 'tro1I of honor gave $250; and nine others $1,0OO each. In addition to the various ac- tivities mentioned instituted and SUD- ported by the organization, the asso- citation employs a secretary to devote his entire time to the general manage ment of the association affairs and also to direct a complete survey of economics, social, educational and re- ligious conditions of the county. A man has been employed who has had much experience in this sort of work.
