WIRELESS TO UNITE CHURCHES
Cardinal Maffi Plans Radio System to
Join the Vatican and All
Parishes.

Cardinal Mafi, Archbishop of Pisa,
who is prominent as scientist, is ex-
perimenting with wireless communica-
ton between the principal churches
of Italy, France and Austria. The
wireless installation at the Pisa Cathe-
dral has already communicated sue
cessfuIly with the Jesuit Church in
Gratz, Syria, but recently the Aus
trian military authorities, fearing that
the Jesuits' wireless station inter
cepted army messages, ordered it's i'm
mediate demolition.
Cardinal Mafi is unofficially striving
to convince the authorities here that
his wireless system is specially at
tuned and that the interception OF
messages from other sources is i'm.
possible. He hopes that when the
authorities are convinced of this fact
he viii be permitted to continue his
experiments, the object of which is to
connect all the churches, including the
Vatican, by the radio system.
The system is still in the expert
mental stage, hence further particulars
have not been divulged.

DEATH OF FATHER DRURY
A Missionary Priest and Writer Passes
Away in Kentucky.

On February the remains of the
Reverend Edwin Drury, chaplain at
the Motherhouse of the Sisters of
Loretto, Loretto, KY, and widely
known as a missionary and writer,
were laid to rest in the little ceme-
terry where sleep Nerinckx and other
of Loretto's sainted dead The Solemn
Pontifical Mass of Requiem was cele-
brated by the Right Reverend Bishop
O'Donaghue, of Louisville, in the pres
ence of large number of the priests
of the diocese.
Father Drury was a native of Ken
lucky, where he was born sixty-eight
years ago of family distinguished in
the history of the Church and of the
state. Prior to 1893 he occupied sue
cessively number of pastoral charges
in the Diocese of Louisville. He then
engaged in missionary work until 1900
when he was made chaplain at the
Loretto Motherhouse. He was the
author of several books, the best
known of which is What the Church
Teaches work which has enjoyed
wide popularity. His latest work
was the publication of an account OF
the celebration of the centennial of the
foundation of the order, which took
place last year

Extracts from the Sermon Preached
by Bishop Carroll of Helena at St.
Luke's Church Last Sunday.

The Right Reverend Bishop Carroll
of Helena, who is preaching a series
of sermons at st. Luke's Church. St.
Paul, took for the subject of his dis
course at the eleven o'clock Mass last
Sunday, the one suggested by the
Gospel of the day-The Great Temp
tation. He described the baptism of
Jesus in the Jordan as the beginning
of the New Law, the Holy Ghost, in
the form Of dove, consecrating Him
as the Messiah, and the Voice of the
Father proclaiming His Messiahship:
"This is My Beloved Son in Whom
am well pleased" After this solemn
Inauguration, Jesus is led by the
Spirit into the desert to be tempted
by the devil.
The Bishop then said in part: "Two
giants had entered the lists to de.
eide the issue by a single combat
They had met before. They will meet
again on Calvary ere the final victory
will be achieved. They had met fol
the first time when there floated be
fore the angelic spirits the vision oi
the Incarnate Son, and the command
of the Father was heard Let all the
angels of God adore Him 4 will
not bow down before a nature in
ferior to mine,' cried Lucifer, 'ever
though it be united to the Son oi
God. If the plan of God entails His
union with a creature, why should
not my superior substance be Sc
lected? l will ascend into Heaven
will exalt my throne above the star:
of God. l will be like to the Mos
High
Brethren, you know the outcome
Armed with the power of God
Michael and the faithful angels hurled
the monster of pride and his rebe
hosts from the battlements of HEAVIER
into that place where no order, bu
eternal horror dwelleth.'
After so decisive a combat, what
it the meaning of this new encounter
in the desert about the Jordan? Has
the power of the giant of pride beer
strengthened, or that of the Son O
God been weakened, by the lapse o.
four thousand years, that the former
should now hope for success, or the
latter should feel the need of agar
demonstrating His superiority?
ITO answer this question, we mus
recall the struggle under the Tree
of Paradise. God had made man tt
His own image and likeness. In Him
he had brought into contact the spir
itual and the material creations ant
welded them into one nature. Ac
cording to His plan, broached to tn,
angels from the beginning, His owl
Son was to assume this nature ant
to make it the channel through which
the grace of God would be poured on
on all his rational creatures so tina
the Man-God was the first-born of al
creatures in the Divine Counsels, tn,
Head of both angels and men. Lucifel
had failed, as we have seen, to secur.
the union of God with his own nature

CHRIST Or THE ANDES"
A Monument Which signaIizes and
Perpetuates Peace Between Two
South American Republics.

In 1900 Argentina and Chile, sister
republics, were on the verge of war,
1t was the revival of an old dispute
about boundary lines. On Easter Sun
day Bishop Benevente, of Argentina,
made a thrilling appeal for a statue
of Christ to guard the frontier, where
it could be seen by all travellers be-
tween the two countries. The two
angry nations calmed themselves. The
late King Edward of England was
asked to be arbitrator and both coun-
tries quietly acquiesced in his de-
cision.
Then both began to disarm. Chile
turned an arsenal into a school of
trade. BY reducing her army and
navy expenses one saved millions Of
dollars, and in spending them in max
ing good roads through the land, and
in building much needed breakwater
in the harbor of Valparaiso
To signalize and perpetuate this
victory of peace the good Bishops
suggestion was followed. A colos-
sal statue of Christ, made Of Bronze
from cannon, was dedicated March
23rd, 1904, on the boundary line
$4,000 feet above the sea. One hand
holding His Cross OF sacrifice, the
other uplifted to heaven, the Christ
of the Andes stands on the heights
between the two countries, blessing
them both as they rest below him in
peace. The inscription reads" Soon
er shall these mountains crumble to
dust than Argentines and Chileans
break the peace which, at the feet of
Christ the Redeemer, they have sworn
to maintain"
The statue had been standing there
but a year when Brazil and Bolivia
settled on old dispute, the former pay
ing the latter an indemnity of ten
millions of dollars, while Chile and
Bolivia made a treaty Of peace and
friendship which pledged Chile TO
help her former foe to build railroads
and develop her hidden resources.
The feet Of the Christ are moving up
on the mountains!

THE GREAT TEMPTATION

He now tries to corrupt the nature
with which that union will be af.
fected.
"And he succeeded. God had for.
hidden Adam to eat of the fruit OF
the Tree of the knowledge of good
and evil. Satan pointed out that
the fruit was beautiful to behold and
sweet to the taste. Adam yielded
and behold-the springs of f1eshly con.
cupiscence are opened up and sensu
ality runs riot upon the earth. To
check it, God sent the Deluge, well
nigh wiping out all flesh from the
face of the earth. 1t grew again to
monstrous proportions, and He sent
down fire from Heaven to destroy
the cities of the Plain. Then, as il
powerless to stem the awful tide, He
| allowed it to rush on until it en-
quilted all Gentle nations in its fetiG
waters and merited the terrible de
scription of it given by ST. Paul in
his Epistle to the Romans.
God had forbidden Adam to eat
of the fruit of the Tree under penalty
of death. Satan declared: You shall
not die, but your eyes shall be open
ed and you shall be like gods, know
ing good and evil In the eagernesI
of his pride, Adam presumed to tes
the threat of God, and, not only 'hatl
death passed upon all men, in whom
all have sinned, but the human in
tellect was darkened to such an ex
tent that the fundamental questions
of mans origin and destiny and thu
means to attain it, became involved
in the deepest obscurity So dens,
was the darkness, that Plato, thu
greatest of pagan philosophers, crieC
out in the despair Of his glorious
genius: If man would know any
thing certain about these things, Coz
Himself must come down and teacl
him.
when God had forbidden Adam tt
eat of the fruit of that one Tree, H,
had restricted his possessions, ant
taught him that God alone is abso
Lutte owner. BY yielding to the temp
ter, Adam whetted the appetite of tn,
race for universal domination. Thi
robbery from God melted men to rol
one another. The peace of the worlC
was disturbed, and strife among in
dividuals and war among nations pre-
vailed, until one man ruled the uni
verse and more than half of mankin'
were slaves.
"Ah! Yes, Satan has, indeed
strengthened himself during the cen
turtles that have rolled by since b.
compassed the fall of man. He nov
claims to be the undisputed maste
of mans body and mind and posses
sions. He has transformed that na
ture which the Son of God would as
sumo. He defies Him to purify il
or snatch it from his grasp. This i
the meaning of the contest on tn
banks of the Jordan"
i The Bishop then described tn
j triple temptation and the triple vic
tory, showing that Christ, as tn
Head of humanity redeemed, won tn
victory for us and gave us the powe
to resist the temptations Of sensu
ality, pride and wealth.

IRISH RELIGIOUS CENSUS
Disparity Between Population and
Magistracy.

According to a parliamentary White
Paper the religious census of Ireland
has given the following figures:
Catholics, 3,242,67o; Episcopalians
576,611; Presbyterians, 44o,525; Meth.
odists, 62,3S2; all others, 68,031.
This gives 1,147,549 non-Catholics
against the 3,242,67O Catholics. But
while Catholics represent slightly less
than "a per cent of the population
Protestants count for slightly over &C
per cent of the magistracy, as the fol
lowing figures show: 6,O74 persons
hold the commission of the peace, Of
whom 1896 are Catholics and 3,65t
are Protestants, including 2,817 Epis
copalians, 6SS Presbyterians, and 13(
Methodists. There are eight Jews ant
ten cases in which the religious belle
is unknown.

The rates for board and room range
from $3.50 to $4.00 week. AS it is
impossible for girls to get similar ac-
commodations elsewhere at the lowest
charge made by the Guild Hall, the
number of applications are far in ex-
cess of the capacity of the house. Al
though a year has not yet elapsed
since the Catholic Guild Hall was
opened there is need of a much larger
building. We pray that in the near
future an unsolicited contribution of
substantial amount will be received
from some one in a position to give the
needed help. If rich Catholics knew
the good done in this way it would not
be long until the Guild Hall would be
comfortably established in more COM
modious quarters.
Protecting Country Girls.
The Guild of Catholic Women de-
sires country parents to know that its
members are willing to act the part
of true friends to their daughters on
arrival in the city. Even if the Guild
admittance, she will be directed to a
respectable rooming house, and every
effort will be made to befriend her.
AS the Guild is able to secure employ
ment for many, a stranger can be
placed in a good position, or given
fhelpful direction which only those well
acquainted with the city can give.
The Guild is fortunate in having an
influential woman give her time
gratuitously to building up an en-
ployment department Mrs. John Nc
Guire, the head of this department, has
secured over four hundred positions
for girls and women during the past
year. An office in the Wilder Build.
ing will be opened in a few days
where many details of charity work
will be attended to- Those seeking in
formation regarding employment
should address the Guild of Catholic
Women, Wilder Building. Information
regarding lodging and meals may be
had from the matron of the Catholic
Guild Hall. Cards telling about thi:
girls home have been sent to the
reverend clergy throughout the state
and any girl who intends coming tt
the city should procure one of these
cards from her pastor and come direc
to those who, imbued with the righ
spirit of charity, are desirous Of be
coming true friends of inexperienced
-hgirls.
