Disinherited
By HELOlsE BRAYTON

When Tom Pickering was first mar.
ried it didn't seem to him that he
would ever care to spend an evening
anywhere except with his dear wife in
their coy little home, and for the first
fortnight he went nowhere IN the even
ing unless he took her with him.
During the second month some of his
prematrimonial crunies were having
little poker party and t~elephoned him
to join them. He did so.
That was chickering's first relapse but
not his last. Indeed, he had a great

1t difficult to find excuses for them
Mrs. Pickering was a e little wo-
man and a very sensible one. She ar
gued that If she found fault with her
husband for leaving her alone nights
while he enjoyed the pleasures OF
bachelorhood there would arise a series
of altercations which would render his
home unpleasant to him and be would
stay away altogether.
Nor was this the worst of it. A man
hobnobbing with MEL must speno
money. He can't avoid it. It's a game
of billiards. a cigar, an evening at the
theater. This all makes a considera'
BILE total. The consequence was that
when his wife felt like enjoying an
evening where she might listen to Hiu-
sic, of which she was very fond, the
husbands expenditures had so reduc-
ed the exchequer that there were no
funds for the purpose.
This wasn't right. Pickering knew
1t wasn't right, but found himself I'M
able to break away from his assocla-
tons. He said the only way to do
that was to leave the place where they
lived and GO to some other. But when
his wife asked him how he was going
to get a position in some other place
he had no answer. He looked sober.
and that ended the conversation.
So Mrs. Pickering fell into the habit
of enduring without complaint.
One night when Pickering had gone
put there came a ring at the tele-
phone. Mrs. Pickering answered the
call and learned that her husbands
sunt was very i'll and Tom was to
rome around Immediately. The aunt,
4 maiden lady Of sixty and in chronic
bad health, was very fond Of her
nephew, and 1t was expected that she
would make him her heir. Mrs. Pick
ering held a lengthy conversation with
her informant, the old lady'a house
keeper, with a view to taking steps to
find the missing man. But 1t led to
nothing, aud Mrs. Pickering concluded
to go to the sick woman herself.
She found the invalid suffering great
pain. A physician was present, and
the house was in a hubbub. The DC
lady was sure she was going to die
and had sem for her lawyer to add a
codicil to her will covering some small
requests she wished to make. Seeing
her niece. she called her to her bed
and told her to go to the telephone
and not cease her calls till she had To-
Gated Tom. He was the only relative
she had In the world and she must
have him with her when dying.
Since Tom Pickering was attending

LEE OF FATHER cATHREIN.

Just sixty years have rolled by since
Father Lehmkuhl, S. j., one of the
greatest living theologians, entered
the Society of Jesus; and a full half
century has passed since Father Cath

gist, Joined the order. This double
event has just been celebrated by
the Jesuits of Valkenburg, namely,
the diamond jubilee as Jesuit of the

The magnificent new home of the

crowded with the Knights and their
friends while hundreds failed to gain
admission.
The principal address was delivered
by the Right Reverend Bishop O'Dea
who dwelt on the duty of laymen
towards the Church and the State. He
made strong appeal for the support
of constituted authority. He was fol.
lowed by the Honorable ]. ]. Donovan

The meeting was presided over by
State Deputy John D. Carmody, and
in the course of his address he paid a
tribute to Mrs. Foss, the donor of the

RECENT ANGLICAN CONVERTS
SEVEN ANGLICAN MINISTERS
WILL STUDY FOR THE PRIEST.
HooD-MANY CONVERSIONS IN
ENGLAND DURING THE PAST
YEAR.

During the past few months seven
Anglican ministers have been received
into the Catholic Church in England
and, according to the London Uni
verse, have decided to enter at once
upon the usual course of study for the
priesthood. The list is as follows:
The Rev. Reginald F. Ekins, M. A.,
Lincoln College, Oxford, and Ely
Theological College, formerly curate
of st. Augustine's, Kilburn, N. W.; the
Rev. Arthur Dudley, A. K. c., curate
of st. Stephens, Upton Park, E.; the
Rev. Percy Gateley, curate-in-charge of
st. Saviour's, Saltley, Birmingham;
the Rev. Ronald Alexander Cowley
Brother at Oxford for the last three
years, and grandson of the first An
glican Bishop in Jerusalem; the Rev.
Ewart Hillyard Swinstead, B. A., st.
Edmunds Hall, Oxford, and Chestnut
College; the Rev. William Anderson,
B. A., Emmanuel College, Cambridge,
and Lincoln Theological College,
curate at ST. Cyprian's, Cardiff; the
Rev. Leonard Allan Corsbie, of st. An
drew's, Plaistow, and ST. Laurence's,
Northampton.
The first four left Charing Cross
Station about ten days ago, en- route
for Rome, where they have been ac-
cepted as students of the Beda Col
lege. It is probable that the others
will proceed thither later on in the
year.
Our readers will remember that, in
March last, the Anglican Benedictines
at Caldey and st. Brides Abbeys came
over in a body, bringing nearly seven
ty chosen souls into the Church. Thus
the work of conversion goes steadily
on in England where the Church is
making remarkable progress

Next week the music-loving people
of the Twin Cities will have long
desired opportunity to hear the famous
Paulist Boys Choir of Chicago. It will
be their first visit to st. Paul and Min
neapols and they will give matinee
and evening concert in each of the
cities.
The Paulist Choristers need no
introduction to the general public.
Everyone has heard of them. They
have an international reputation and
are the only organization of the kind
in the world. The boys who constitute
this choir have been trained by the
Reverend William J. Finn, C. S. P, of
st. Mary's Church, Chicago Under his
talented direction and leadership they
have won an enviable reputation in
the musical world. A year and half
musical festival in Paris and won first
place in competition with nearly five
hundred trained choirs of Europe.
Their coming to the Twin Cities, there
fore, is hailed with delightful anticipa-
tion by the public at large and especi-
ally by those whose musical training
will enable them to appreciate the high
class entertainment for which the
Paulist Choristers are famed through
out the world.
Their first appearance will be in the
Auditorium of the new Pro-Cathedral,
Minneapolis, on Thanksgiving Day, No
vember 27, where they will give a
matinee at 2:3O P. M, and an evening
concert at 8:15. They will render the
musical program which won for them
first place in the international contest
at Paris.
The following day, November %,
they will repeat this program at a
matinee and evening performance in
the Auditorium, st. Paul, under the
auspices of the Cathedral parish. The
Director, Father Finn, will have charge
of the program at each performance.
From present indications there
seems to be little doubt that the Paul
ist Choristers will be greeted by ca
pacity houses when they make their
bow for the first time to the people
of the Twin Cities. No one should fail
to hear them.

DANCE At FOOT OF ALTAR
QUAINT EXERCISES CARRIED OUT
IN CATHEDRAL OF SEVILLE
REPRESENTS DANCE OF ISRAEL
TIES BEFORE THE ARK.

The Cathedral of Seville ranks as
the most majestic and important of
the forty-nine wonderful Cathedrals in
Spain, and in size is next to st. Peters
in Rome
It is during the fiesta of the I'M
maculate Conception In December and
on Corpus Christi in June that the
only dance allowed in any Christian
Church in the world is presented in
this noble church. It is also occasion
ally given during carnival time.
La Danza de los Seises" is a rite of
remote origin supposed to represent
the dance of the Israelites before the
Ark. Originally, twelve boys partici-
pated in the dance, to which fact it
owes its name-"The Dance of the
Skies" as they danced in pairs, six
on a SIDE
The dance is given in the Capel1a
Mayor at the foot of the high altar,
and as the Seises take their position

ing the entire time, as do all who wit
ness it, as it is held in great rever-
ence.
The so-called dance is in reality
more Of a stately walk and weaving
in and out of several graceful figures,
ending in a single turn at the end of
each Of the three parts. The casti-
nets are lightly played and sound
At the close of the dance
the seises make their final obeisance
and ascend the steps of the altar, fol-
lowed by the Cardinal, his long Grim
son robe rippling over the steps from
top to bottom.

LETTER OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP

Catholic Church make joyful response
to the invitation to hold in reverence
Americas national religious hoIy-day
Thanksgiving Day. The Catholic
Church is pre-eminently the society of
the Supernatural: all that makes for
the remembrance of the Supernatural
is dear to it, and merits and receives
its energetic cooperation. Others
there may be in America, who lose
sight of God, as Creator and Supreme
Master, who look elsewhere than to
Gods Kingdom for veal to themselves
and to human society: the children of
the Catholic Church should never pass
by the opportunity of declaring them
selves in manner most public the chill
dren and the soldiers of the Super
natural. Catholic temples should be
crowded with worshippers on Thanks
giving Day.
Hence it is that hereby we give a
sincere and full adhesion to the invi-
tation of the President of the United
States and of the Governor of Mime
sofa, and, in the name of our holy
religion, prescribe that on next Thurs
day, November 9th, Thanksgiving
Day, mass be celebrated in all the
churches of the Diocese of st. Paul at
an hour suitable to the general con-
venience of the Catholic people, and
that on the previous Sunday announce
ment of this mass be made from the
pulpit, and the people be urged to be
present at it. After the Gospel there
will be a sermon, on the meaning of
the Day and the duty of all the chill
dren of God to praise Him and thank
Him for His never-ceasing grants of
grace and blessing, and in a special
manner, for the favors accorded dur
ing the past year. At the conclusion
of the mass the TIE Deum will be
chanted.
l pray God to bless you, Reverend
Father, and the Faithful committed to
your spiritual care.

OBSERVANCE OF THANKS.
GIVING DAY.
TO THE CLERGY OF THE DIOCESE
OF ST. PAUL.
Rev. Dear Father:

Rev. Dear Father:
A most praiseworthy custom it is,
that induces the President of the
United States speaking for the whole
country, and the several Governors
within their respective jurisdictions,
to set apart one day in each year, as
Thanksgiving Day, and to invite all
the people of the land to come to-
gether in their accustomed places of
worship, there to proclaim the su-
preme Majesty of Him, from whom all
blessings proceed, and to thank Him
in particular manner for graces and
favors received during the year now
closing its course.
By this custom the Republic of the
United States proclaims itself a God
loving, God-fearing nation-a nation
whose people, however ardent be their
quest for the gifts of matter, are still
able and willing to rise upward, in
mind and in heart, towards the skies,
where reigns the eternal God, and to
put in Him and in the observance of
His laws their enduring hopes of
felicity for time and for eternity.
This one Thanksgiving Day
places the people of the United
States on a high level among the ma
tions of earth, does them wondrous
honor, and begets for them the con-
fidence that their institutions rest on
stable and lasting foundations. Those
of us who have care for our personal
salvation and for the welfare of Amer
ica should rejoice that once a year
the chief magistrates of the nation
make open and solemn profession of
national allegiance to the Creator and
Sovereign Master, and most Jealous
should we be, so far as our part allows,
in according to this profession efficient
and practical meaning.
Especially should the children of the

There is one straight edge that

ARCHBISHOP OF YORK At OXFORD

AND AS5ETIc PRE-
LATE BREACHES ON THE HON
OR AND NOBILITY OF THE
CHRISTIAN CALLING-MORAL
HEROISM is THE MARK OF THE
SOLDIER OF CHRIST-SERMoN
BASED ON THE DYING DEcLARA-
TION OF CAPTAIN SCOTT: "WE
DID OUR BEST TO THE VERY
LAST"
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-11-22
(From Our Special Correspondent
Cecil UnderWood.)

Among the special preachers Sc
lected to deliver sermons before the
university during the present term,
we found the name of Doctor Thomas
Lang, Archbishop of York. So strong
is the medieval sentiment of Oxford
that the presence of an Archbishop
even to this day excites surprising
amount of awe and curiosity.
Canterbury and York are great
names in England, and history sup
plies many instances of visits to Ok
ford made by prelates who have oc-
cupied those famous Sees. One re-
calls the warm splendor and regal
pageantry which heralded the visit of
Wolsey, accompanied by Henry VIII,
when laudatory verses were read in
Latin, Greek and Hebrew. And like
wise one remembers by way of con-
trast how the students of Oxford once
f1ocked to st. Mary's in order to wit
ness the trial and condemnation of an
Archbishop:
Thomas, Archbishop of Canterbury
appear here and make answer to that
which shall be laid to thy charge;
that is to say, blasphemy, heresy and
incontinency-and make answer here
to the Bishop of Gloucester represent
ing the Pope's person"
A great many years have passed
away since Thomas Cranmer was led
to the stake; and we are thankful
that our erring brothers are now con-
verted or punished by methods more
in accordance with the mild and gen
tie spirit of the Gospel. The most
hard-hearted theologian today would
hesitate, we venture to say, before
decreeing punishment by fire.
A Scholarly, Ascetic PreIate.
A grand sermon was expected from
the Archbishop of York. For, al
though Canterbury overshadows York
on coronation days and other impor-
tant public occasions, nevertheless Ok
ford and, for that matter, all England,
looks to York for scholarship, ideals,
spiritual inspiration. Accordingly, the
flower of the university assembled to
hear the Archbishop who spoke with
out boolk-that is, without the use of
notes or manuscript-but addressed
his hearers in a free, delightful way
which an American audience would so
fully appreciate. ''The rapt Grafton
flowing, free'-such was the sermon
from beginning to end, and although
it consumed an hour and forty min
utes in the delivery-(who shall bind
Arcturus or an Archbishop when it is
matter of consuming time?) no one
seemed to be weary or anxious to con-
suit his watch
It was, in truth, remarkable ser

mon delivered by a churchman of un-
usual force. His Grace of York is of
that type which the world would call
severe-an ascetic severe with himself
and with the world He is exactly
such type as breaches other worldli-
ness by his very presence. Too often
one meets in England the beefy &C.
clesiastic who while supporting some
theory of Christian rectitude, is never
theless in apparent bondage to the
flesh. Too often these English clergy
men drag down the Christian ideal,
for they are of the earth earthly and
their corporal figure is quite as prone
to amplification as their pulpit style.
Hence, it is refreshing from spiritual
standpoint to see representative of
religion, who appears to have just ar
rived from the desert, and, after long
prayer and fasting, brings with him
"airs from heaven and keen ap-
probation of the things of the spirit.
The Archbishop fixed the mental eye
of his hearers upon the heavenly goal
and for one hour and forty minutes
dwelt upon the honor and nobility of
the Christian calling.
Moral Heroism.
The keynote of the sermon was
furnished by an excerpt from the last
written words of the gallant English
man who recently lost his life in
search of the South Pole:
"If perchance this letter is found
with our frozen bodies let the world
know that we offered our lives will
ing sacrifice for the advancement of
science, and Notwithstanding the diff
culties that have proven insuperable,
we did our best to the very last"
Here we find that splendid moral
heroism-"we did our best to the very
last"-which characterized the Build
ers of this ancient Empire. More en-
phatically it marks the true soldiers
and saints of Jesus Christ, every one
of whom could write: 1--WE give our
lives willing sacrifice to the Master
we have done our best to the very
last
Opposed to this splendid altruism
of the Christian hero is the egoism,
the innate selfishness of man. HUI
man life whenever unrenewed by our
Lords blessing and doctrine, has been
consistently marked by the manifold
presence of unchecked selfishness.
Whether coarse and brutal or polished
and refined, self1shness is the moral
attitude of the unchristianized man.
The society of the old Roman EN-
pire, rising from the base of its vast
slave population to its apex in Caesar,
was vast hierarchy of selfshness, in
which class preyed upon class, and
man upon man.
Selfishness Is Death.
Let us recognize the selfish
ness is death. Not always social
death: a selfish man may succeed in
pushing his way into the world. Not
always political death: a selfish policy
may, at least temporarily, win for
people wealth or power or some other
form of material greatness.
But moral death;-ay, always and
everywhere. For in the moral world
love is analogous to those mighty
forces in nature whereby planets are
kept true to the orbits in which they
move round their central suns Now
If this regulating love be diverted
from its true object; if the planet
aspires to become its own sun; what
