INVENTED BY A MONK
MUSICAL NOTATION WHICH HAS
STOOD THE TEST OF NINE
CENTURIES.

Guido Aretino was Benedictine
monk, born at Arrezzo, near the end
of the tenth century. In the midst
of his religious duties he found time
to cultivate and develop his remark
able genius for musical composition.
The old system of learning music
was extremely crude and tedious, and
it required years of patient study to
learn how to read music. Guido un-
dertook to simplify the problem, and
succeeded to such degree that, after
the lapse of nine centuries, his method
is still the method of the worlds
musicians.
His religious temperament mani
tested itself in his choosing as the
names of the notes ut, re, mi, sol, la,
etc., the first syllables of a Latin hymn
to st. John.
Pope John XVIII, invited Guido to
his court, and was delighted with his
new system, and gave him every
facility and encouragement in perfect
ing 1t, both in the writing and reading
of musical compositions.
The modern gamut was Guido's in
vention, and from the Vatican re-
sounded the first chants Of classic
melody, reduced to popular study by
the genius OF the humble Benedictine
monk Of the so-caIled dark Ages"

SYMBOLISM OF THE NEW CATHEDRAL

He was made the Son of Mary; there
He was nurtured and protected by
Joseph; there He spent His infancy
and youth while preparing for His pub
| lie ministry.
We salute Mary and Joseph, and
look towards the sanctuary. Here is
Christ Himself; there is the altar of
Calvary, topped by the cross, the in
strument of Redemption And within
the tabernacle Christ resides in Eu-
charistic miracle to love and to serve,
to be loved and to be served. From
the tabernacle there goes out un-
ceasing the Divine Voice, the never
ceasing cry of Christ's Gospel: Il
am come to send fire on the earth;
and what will but that it be kindled.'
We turn to right and to left. We
discover the two chief agents and
messengers of the loving heart of
Jesus-Peter and Paul-the princes
and after Christ the founders of the
Christian Apostolate. To each one is
given chapel. To the right Of the
sanctuary is the Chapel of st. Peter.
There will be venerated the chief
taincy of the visible church, it's prin-
ciple of authority and of unity. To
Peter was it said: Feed My lambs,
feed My sheep"-be the guardian of
the whole flock, none to teach with
out leave from thee, none to guide ex-
cept as thou didst order. To the left
of the sanctuary is the Chapel of st.
Paul. There recognition will be given
to the burning zeal, which is ever the
spirit, the interior life of the Christian
| Apostle, without which the external
organism of the Church would be
only an uniformed mass, deprived of
power of motion or, expansion, in
capable of building up on earth the
true Kingdom of Christ. This burning
zeal was not, assuredly, the exclusive
belonging of st. Paul; but in him it
shone with conspicuous brightness, in
him it wrought conspicuous miracles.
And he was, in special manner, the
apostle of the nations-the standard
bearer, in special manner, of the
principle of the divinely ordered ex-
pansion of the Church and of it's
Catholicity through space no less than
through time.
And now around the sanctuary
where the Master is enthroned, linked
on one side with st. Peter, and on the
other with st. Paul, are ranged the
Chapels of ST. Patrick, st. Augustine,
st. Remy, st. Boniface, Sts Methodius
Eand Cyril, and ST. Ansgarius- the inn
mediate apostles of six of the chief
racial families of Christendom-the
six that go far in making up the pres
ent population of Minnesota. They
speak for Ireland, England, France,
Germany, for Slavic and Scandinavian
lands. Other marking races that
might be thought of as parts of Chris
tendon, though not largely repre-
sented in the Northwest, may still, if
they wish, salute patrons and foun-
ders of their national traditions. st.
Paul, the patron and founder of all the
Churches, is especially the apostle Of
Greece, and of the Orient, and st.
Peter while Prince of all Christendom,
belongs to Italy and other lands Of the
Western Mediterranean.

CHRISTIANS OF JAPAN WILL
SOON COM MEM RATE THE
THREE HUNDREDTH ANNIVER-
sARY OF THE TERRIBLE PER-
SECUTIoN WHICH ALMOST EX-
TERMINATED cATHoLICITY IN
THAT COUNTRY.

While the Catholics of the entire
world are celebrating the sixteenth
centenary of the peace of the Church
accorded by the great Emperor Con-
stantine, the Christians of Japan are
preparing to commemorate another
anniversary, writes Father Streichen,
P. F. NJ, in Catholic Missions"
The event they have in mind is of
an entirely different nature, namely,
the bloody persecution which took
place in Japan three hundred years
ago, and which stifed the Faith in
that country for considerable period.
This deplorable warfare began Janu-
ary 27, 1914.
At that time Tokugama Teyasu was
absolute master of japan. He issued
an edict ordering the destruction of
the churches, exile of the priests and
renunciation of their faith by his
Christian subjects.
Neither the priests nor the Chris
tians consented to submit to the COM
mand, and there then began, at the
instigation of the tyrant, one of the
most ferocious prosecutions in the his
tory of the Church.
Millions of Christians were mar
tyred, exiled and massacred. They
were tracked and hunted like rebels,
malefactors or even wild beasts. No
fate was too hideous to be meted out
to them.
The Faith appeared to be entirely
extinct, and yet not even this violent
hatred could entirely destroy the
Church of Christ. The good seed had
been planted, and deep beneath the
surface nourished by the blood of
martyrs, the little root lived and
waited for the moment when it should
again push its green sprouts through
the ehsanguined soil.
Here il the startling proof Of this
fact. When, two hundred and fifty
years later, Catholic missionaries be-
gan again their apostOlate I'm Japan,

CATHOLIC WOMEN FElERAIE
SOCIETIES WITH A MEMBERSHIP
or 1000 FORM A FEDERA-
TION IN CINCINNATI

A Federation of Catholic Women's
Societies of Cincinnati and vicinity
was organized on August 29 at the
Santa Maria Institute. The movement
was the result of the refusal of the
Federation of Catholic Societies of
Hamilton County, Ohio, to allow the
women's societies to affiliate on an
equal footing with the mems societies.
The new federation which was organ
lied with the permission and approval
of the Most Reverend Archbishop
Moeller of Cincinnati, starts with a
membership of about four thousand
women. Works of religion, education,
charity and social reform will be taken
up. The Federation, at it's inaugural
meeting, went on record as opposing
the extreme style of womans dress
today.
The officers are: President, Miss
Anna G. Minogue, Associate Editor of
The Catholic Telegraph; First Vice
President, Mrs. Anna Brossard, La
dies Auxiliary Knights Of st. John;
Second Vice-P President, Mrs. Peter
Weber, Ladies' Auxiliary, Ancient Or

tary, Mrs. Thomas McNally, Ladies'
Catholic Benevolent Association; Cor
responding Secretary, Mrs. A. L. Sum-
mers, Catholic Ladies of Columbia;
Treasurer, Sister Blandina, Sisters of

DEATH OF DUTCH PRELATE
BISHOP DREHMANNS OF RURE-
MONDE WAS BELOVED BY THE
PEOPLE OF THE NEITHER
LANDS.

The recent death of Right Reverend
Joseph Drehmanns, Bishop of Rure-
monde, has caused great sorrow
among the people of the Neither
lands, who looked upon him as a
prelate of unusual ability, who labored
increasingly for the welfare of his
people. His diocese is said to have
the best schools in the country and
the largest number of priests with a
university degree.
Bishop Drehmanns was born in
Ruremonde in 1S43 and consecrated
Titular Bishop of Facusa in 1889 and
Coadjutor to the Bishop of Ruremonde
whom he succeeded in 1900.

be to stir up religious animosity and
incite class against class. On the con-
trary, he uses all his influence to Sc
cure the widest possible circulation of
the really meritorious social reform
literature which is now so abundant.
He is himself member of at least
one of the Catholic societies of his
community, and he puts forth earnest
efforts to increase it's membership to
the utmost His initiation and the
payment of his annual dues are not
the sole evidence of his interest in
his organization. He attends, if pos
sible, every meeting and advocates
courses of lectures by the most noted
Catholic exponents of the labor ques-
tion.
Labor and Social Progress.
There are several things which the
discussion of these lectures under the
wise guidance of the priest will make
clear to the Catholic laboring man.
The first of these is organized Ia
boris contribution to the cause of So
cial progress. 1t is sometimes as
serted that labor unions have seri-
ously menaced, and oftentimes actual
ly destroyed, the prosperity and peace
of whole communities; that they have
demands; that when they gain the
upper hand they exhibit greater tyr
amy than that which they condemned
in capitalism. No doubt, the facts
have at times justified these accusa-
tions. But such occurrences are rare,
and are not sanctioned by the great
body of union men. Organized labor
should be judged as a whole; and
taken as a whole, it's aims and pur-
poses are laudable, its methods are in
the main justifable, and the evils that
follow from it are outweighed by it's
good effects.
Then it should be remembered that
modern unionism was the outgrowth
of conditions that made it necessary.

protected the workingman and OBJ

French Revolution. Defenseless and
alone, the laborer was left to the
mercy of a new school of economics
which saw in him only the physical
energy he was capable of eXerting.
Labor became a mere commodity, and
it was bought on the market at the
lowest price In the coal mines of
England, when men seemed to cost
too much, women were put in their
places, and finally, children we're sub
| stituted for women. To combat the
consequences of such principles
Trades Unions arose in England and
soon spread to other countries. To
their organized efforts and intelligent
aggressiveness is due very largely the
improved conditions we behold today
The workingman is lifted up from the
degradation into which unrestrained
competition had flung him. He is nc
longer regarded as beast of burden
and his labor as mere article of mer
chandise. His human dignity has been
reclaimed, and the reward of his la
Dor must be sufficient to maintain him
self and his family in frugal comfort
Respect for the laborer as man, as
human being, and reverence fo1
childhood and womanhood, now sc
emphatically enunciated in the eco
nomic legislation of every Christian
country in the world, is the distinct
triumph of labor unionism and its
greatest contribution to the cause oi
social progress.

CHURCH III YEARS OLD
ST. FERDINAND's CHURCH, FLOR
IssANT, MO-, IS ONE OF THE
OLDEST IN THE WEST.

On August 81, st. Ferdinand Church
of Florissant, Mo-, not far from st.
Louis, celebrated its one hundred
and twenty-frst anniversary. Chief
among the attractions was the half
pound ponderous rusty key used to
open the church door at the dedica-
ton in 1892.
The church, whose stones have
withstood crumbling for more than a
century, is a landmark in St. Louis
county and is perhaps the Oldest in
the West. At the time It was built,
heavy bolts and massive keys were
needed to keep on the Indians.

To Thee, o Lord, I lift my soul,
| put my trust in Thee;
The foe shall not put me to shame
Nor triumph over me.
For Thou wilt listen to the prayer
Of those who call Thy name;
Who worketh evil without cause
Will straight be put to shame.
Show me, o Lord, the paths of Truth,
And teach me all Thy ways;
Thou art my Saviour and on Thee
Will wait all my days.
Remember, Lord, Thy kindly love
Since Thou the world didst make;
Forget my youthful sins and faults
For Thine own mercy's sake.
The Lord is just and merciful,
He will the sinner guide;
Unto the meek point out the way,
And keep them by His side.
The paths of God are pleasant paths
To those who seek the truth;
For Thy names sake call on Thee,
Though great my sins, for truth.
Behold the man who feareth God,
He leads him by the hand;
His soul shall dwell in peace and ease,
His seed possess the land.
He is shield unto His own,
A law before them set;
He guides Alright the straying feet,
And plucks them from the net.
In mercy look on me, o Lord,
Ny troubled heart doth cry;
Deliver me for Thy names sake
From my necessity.
My foes are multiplied, o Lord,
They look on me with hate;
But Thou wilt keep my soul from
shame,
Because on Thee I wait.

KOSC|UsKO MONUMENT
STATUE OF THE POLISH-AMERI
CAN GENERAL UNVEILED AT
WEST POINT ON LABOR DAY.

September first, Labor Day, was an
itary Academy, West Point, N. Y. On
that occasion the statue of the Polish
American General, Thaddeus Kosci-
usko, hero of the Revolutionary War,
was unveiled to the accompaniment
of booming cannon, music by the
bands, singing and rejoicing by the
thousands of people who assembled
around the memorial site.
The old landmark, a plain marble
column on neat base, was erected
by the corps of cadets in 1928. The
new statue-one of the masterpieces
of the distinguished Polish artist, Pro
fessor Popiel, is a bronze replica eight
feet six inches high, the same height
as the one that now stands in Lafay-
cite Square, Washington, D. C.
The column has been entirely reno
waited and beautiful bronze ring now
encircles its top. An oval memorial
bronze tablet has been set in the
space encircled by the relievo-wreath
on the front side of the dado, CORE
spending with the position of the
statue which faces the river. The fol-
lowing inscription appears on the tab
let:
The pedestal and shaft of this
monument were erected by the
Corps of Cadets of U. S. Military
Academy in 1928, to the memory
of the Polish-American General,
Thaddeus Kosciusko
The statue of this Revolution
ary hero was presented by the
Polish Clergy and Laity of the
United States, and was unveiled
with due ceremonies September
/, 1913.
Rev. Joseph G. Dworzak, d. D., of
Yonkers, was chairman of the monu-
ment committee and Colonel Joseph
Smolinski secretary.

The sculptors who have been en-
gagged in carving the figures on the
facade of the new Cathedral have COM
pleted their task, and, now that the
scaffolding has been removed, this
portion of the imposing structure
is the cynosure of all eyes. The
group of figures over the central win
dow, representing Christ and the Apos-
ties, as well as the other figures that
adorn the facade, are truly works of
art. They are carved from blocks of
granite built into the edifice itself
and form part of the architectural de-
sign of the building. The whole is
surmounted by large cross which is
one hundred and twenty-five feet
above the floor Over the main en-
trance are two allegorical figures rep
resenting Science and Religion, the
former bearing torch, and the latter
cross. The towers on each side
of the main entrance rise to height
of one hundred and fifty feet and
are ornamented with two statues
of st. Peter and st. Paul, twelve feet
high, and carved from blocks of gran
ite set into the face of each tower
Between these, above the central rose
window, are figures of Christ and His
Apostles carved in granite. Christ is
shown in the center of the group with
arms outstretched giving to His Apos
ties the divine commission implied in
the text carved beneath: 'Euntes
ergo, docete omnes gentes." ('tGoing
therefore, teach ye all nations."l
The symbolism of the statuary or
namenting the facade is worthy Of
note, as being in keeping with thai
of the whole edifice. The new Cathe
dral aims to portray, in a special man
ner, the preaching of Christ's gospe
to the nations Of the earth The name
of it's patron, st. Paul, suggests thu
form of its symbolism. st. Paul, the
Apostle of the Gentiles, is, aftel
Christ Himself, the most marked EN-
bodiment of the preaching of Chris
to the nations. And, then, will mo-
the coming of the nations to Chris
be specifically illustrated amid the
worshippers of the new Cathedra
who, in their racial origin, will bt
men of many tribes and languages
sons of the chief nations Of Christ'I
kingdom on earth.

Bethlehem that the Son of God low
