Without attempting TO standardiae

reason for the maintenance of a wage

INJURED PRIEST IMPROVING
FATHER sTUKEL OF NEWMAN
KET WHO WAS ACCIDENTALLY
SHOT LAST WEEK NOT YET OUT
OF DANGER.

The Rev. Matthias Stukel, pastor of
the Church of St. Nicholas, New
market, Mimi, who was injured by the
accidental discharge of a gun last
week, is gradually improving at st.
Joseph's Hospital, although all danger
of infection is not past. The physi-
clans in charge are hopeful of COM
plete recovery but it will be some
time before the patient will be out of
danger.
The accident occurred on October
80 while Father Stukel and a COM
panion were returning from a rabbit
hunt His companion, who was about
twenty feet in front of him, stumbled
on the railroad track and the gun
which he carried was accidentally dis
charged. The load of shot struck
Father Stukel in the abdominal region,
infiicting a severe wound. The ply
sician who gave him emergency treat
ment recognized the seriousness of
his condition and had him conveyed to
ST. Joseph's Hospital, St. Paul An
examination revealed the fact that,
while the wound was less serious than
at first anticipated, there was still
grave danger of infection from the
shot which penetrated the body.
Apart from this, the patient is resting
easily and hopes of his ultimate re-
covery grow brighter day by day.

CANON BOGAERT's JUBILEE
PIONEER PRIEST OF NEW Or
LEANS CELEBRATED HIS GOLD
EN- JUBILEE ON NoVEMBER4.

The Very Reverend Canon J. B.
Bogaert, pastor of st. AIMS Church,
New Orleans, celebrated the golden
jubilee of his ordination on November
A. He is the pioneer priest of the
Diocese of New Orleans and for a
time was Vicar-GeIe eral of the Arch
diocese and its Administrator. The
jubilee exercises were attended by the
Bishops of the Province and a large
number of priests.
The Jubilee Mass was celebrated at
st. AIMS Church by Canon Bogaert
and the sermon was preached by the
Right Reverend J. NJ. Laval, Auxiliary
Bishop of New Orleans. It was fol-
lowed by a reception to the Reverend
Jubilarian and visiting clergymen at
st. Joseph's Convent where dinner
was served.
Father Bogaert is native of Bel
gium where he was born on December
29, 1910. He made his classical

could not be accommodated on the
main floor.
The program opened with an in
strumental prelude by the st.
Thomas College Orchestra. This was
followed by two selections from
Gounod- -"Send Out Thy Light" and
Gloria by the Pro-Cathedral choir
of sixty voices under the direction of
Mr.. Bertram O'Bryen with Miss Agnes
Prendergast as accompanist. After
the Archbishop's address the choir
sang "The Radiant Morn "Sanctus,"
and "Sanctius," after which the st.
Thomas College Orchestra closed the
evenings entertainment.
The Most Reverend Archbishop's
address dealt with the necessity of
divine worship as the supreme duty of
man towards his Creator. He de-
clared that the evil of the day is for
getfulness of God as shown by the
fact that men do not go to church. He
summed up the various substitutes for
religion and showed that all of them
fell short of the religious worship
which God demanded of his creatures.
In concluding he referred to the
mission of the Pro-Cathedral in the
following words:
Noble Edifice, whose name is the
Pro-Cathedral of ST. Mary, of Mime
apolis, thou art to be the house of
God, the gateway of Heaven the
home among men of Gods supernal
world, where men will come to God,
to praise Him, to worship Him, to
give glory for His mercy and His
truth, where God will come to men, to
pour out upon them the sweetness of
His love, the richness of His graces,
to upbuild within them His own image
and likeness
This is why, Noble Edifice, we bid
thee triumphant entrance into our
fair city of Minneapolis-th is why
we acclaim thy advent in joyousness
and exultation. Thou comest to us
the tabernacle of the living God.
Long reign thou, Pro-Cathedral of
st. Mary, to bring God nearer to men,
thy share in bestowing upon us what
is far more precious, far more needed
for our peace and felicity, than
copious gifts of earthly wealth, than
beauteous adornment of earthly arts
the guardianship in time and in
eternity of the eternal and Almighty
God"

An enthusiastic audience of twenty
five hundred people of all denomina-
tions greeted the Most Reverend
Archbishop Ireland with prolonged
applause when he rose to deliver his
address on "Why Church and Church
Going People?" in the PROF. Cathedral,
Minneapolis, last Sunday evening. It
was notable gathering and augurs
well for the success of the excellent
program that is to follow.
The Archbishop's address was the
first of series of lectures to be given
by speakers of national prominence on
the Sunday evenings of November to
signalize what may be called the civic
dedication of the new Pro-Cathedral
whose formal opening for divine
worship will take place next spring.
The people who thronged it's spa
cious auditorium last Sunday evening
came not only to participate in the
opening program but to view the in
terror of the Pro-Cathedral with whose
exterior beauty and symmetry they
were not unfamiliar Those who saw
it for the first time could not fail to
be impressed with it's spaciousness
and architectural beauty. The un-
finished walls served to bring out by
contrast the artistic finish of the
ceiling which is of ornamental plaster
set in panels. There is no pillar or
pendant of any kind to obstruct the
view from the main floor.
The sanctuary which is elevated a
few feet above the floor of the audi
torium was used as a stage and on
it were seated, in addition to the
Most Reverend Archbishop, Bishop
Carroll of Helena, Mont; Bishop
Lawler and score of priests from the

REMEDY FOR THE SOCIAL EVIL
ARCHBISHOP KEANE OF DU-
BUQUE DECLARES THAT SELF
DENIAL BASED ON SUPERNA-
TURAL FAITH is THE ONLY
CURE.

In the course of sermon delivered
in Pittsburg last week the Most Rev
erend Archbishop Keane, of Dubuque,
declared that the segregation of vice
and the public agitation over sex
hygiene are unfortunate as they bring
the social evil prominently before
children and other innocent persons.
He declared that the only cure for the
social evil is Christian self-denial. On
this point he spoke as follows:
"The evil is born in man. The only
remedy is self-denial, and this re
quires motive The motive is sup
piled only by faith in God and the
hereafter Movements like the present
are spasmodic and are found in all
ages. The Greeks tried it and failed
because of lack of supernatural faith.
public agitation calls the attention
of children and innocent persons to
things they should not know. Curl
osity prompts them to seek informa
ton through improper literature and
other channels. This excites the pas
SAOuS, ulSIuIDS lie uluu anu CAUSES
the unhappiness of troubled con

futile effort to supply human remedy
for a thing that supernatural faith
alone can cure.
Legislation governs only external
acts and cannot make man think
purely, and unless he thinks purely
his actions are not pure"
