PSALM XXXIX.
Expectans Expectavi.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hlelscher.)

o Lord, 1 waited patiently Thy day
When Thou wouldst raise me from
the noisome pit,
And place me firmly on the rock to
sit,
And put my feet upon the righteous
way.
A canticle of praise let me begin,
A song of fear and trust unto the
Lord;
Blessed is the man who His command
has heard,
And turned from vanity and those
who sin.
Amid Thy works, O Lord, Thou sittest
alone,
Not Thine own thought can image one
like Thee;
l speak the word that was declared to
me,
Thy wonders, Lord, beyond all count
are grown.
Ears hast Thou opened, Lord, unto
my word,
Not sacrifcial victims dost Thou seek,
And not for Thee the bloody affairs
reek;
1 said: Behold / come to Thee, o
Lord"
'Tis written, Lord, that l should do
Thy will,
Upon the title page it stands apart,
l have desired it, Lord, with all my
heart
That l Thy laws and counsels might
fulfil.
Thy justice declared unto the race
Nor hid Thy mercies which have been
my stay,
Now countless evils stand about my
way,
And binding tides of sin wash o'el
my face.
o, Lord, deliver me, come down with
speed,
Sink in confusion those who seek m!
! soul,
LET shame above their heads in tor
rents roll,
Who jeer and mock me in my hour o
need.
But let me sing a song in glad accord
A hymn of joy to magnify Thy name
Thought poor and beggar, we TIL
mercy claim,
Thou are our helper and protector
Lord.

L LAYMEN'S RETREAT

scarcely spend three days in setting it
right with God. If, knowing that he
has a soul, as every thinking man
does, he sells it daily for pleasure or
profit or fear of ridicule, only special
grace will bring him into solitude to
rest a little at the feet of Jesus. If
he sets some value on his soul and is
disturbed by the persistent clamor of
his conscience for more thought on
death and judgment, he will probably
come to US; for the Heart of Jesus
loves to help weak beginnings. Yet
such one may have been tampering
with grace in the past, t,-reading anti
Catholic books and papers, and whit
Ting down the doctrines of church ad-
thority, sin, repentance, hell, etc. In
this case it is not unlikely that he will
hold out against the solicitations of a
spiritual retreat, until his eyes are
opened and his soul shaken to it's low
est depths by some great bereavement
or other crushing misfortune.
But the rank and file of our Catho-
lie laity is sound at core. 1t has
proved its faith in Christ and its 10y
atty to His Church by heroic sacrifice
in the past. 1t sets supreme value on
the soul and all that pertains to its
salvation. The average Catholic layman
is the human embodiment, in aspira.
ton and effort, of the Divine teaching
on the Mount. Therefore he is docile
to the teaching of those whom the
Holy Ghost has placed over him tc
rule the Church of God. With well
grounded confidence. then, we look
forward to next Thursday for large
concourse of Catholic laymen at the
st Paul Seminary.

About three thousand people as
sembled in front of the Pro-Cathedral
of ST. Mary, Minneapolis, last Sunday
evening to witness the unveiling of
the statue of the Blessed Virgin set in
a niche in the pediment of the facade
above the rose window over the main
entrance. The cord that released the
drapery and exposed to view the beau
tiful figure of Mary Immaculate was
pulled by Lawrence Donaldson, son of
L. A. Donaldson, who donated the
Pro-Cathedral site.
Before the unveiling the children's
choir sang the first part of a hymn
to the Blessed Virgin and after the
covering was removed they continued
the anthem. Then fifteen hundred
children filed into the spacious audi
torium of the Pro-Cathedral and
listened to a sermon by Father Cul-
len, the pastor, who exhorted them
to reverence the Mother of God as the
purest of creatures, to take her for
their patron, to learn from her rever-
ence for womanhood and the great
value of holy purity. The services
ended with Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament.
The statue which was unveiled
represents the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven.
The figure of the Virgin is sixteen feet
high, with three large angels at the
foot and three smaller ones higher
up. Her hands are clasped over her
bosom and her face and eyes are
raised towards heaven.
The figure is carved out of num-
Der of granite blocks built into the
pediment of the facade and forming
part of the wall itself, the whole being
in keeping with the architectural de-
bas relief, does not project beyond
the surface of the facade, and occu.
pies "a niche seventy-five feet above
the main floor.
The model from which the statue
was carved is the work of Mr.. Her
mant of Chicago and the contract fol
| the carving was awarded to F. A
Purdy of Vermont who also carved
all the figures and groups in the
facade of the new Cathedral.
The unveiling of this statue mark:
the final detail in the completion O.
the exterior of the Pro-Cathedral O
st. Mary, which is the object of ad
miration to all who visit it and stands
forth in it's unrivalled architecture
beauty and symmetry on the mos
commanding site in Minneapolis.

Although the people of st. MichaePs
parish, Harrington, Mimi, have at
tended services in their new church
since last fall, the solemn dedication
of the sacred edifice to divine worship
did not take place until last Tuesday,
June 16. Great preparations had been
made for the event and large num-
Der of people, among whom were many
non-C Catholics, witnessed the impress
sive ceremony and participated in the
religious services incident to the
event.
The Right Reverend Bishop Lawler
officiated at the dedication after which
Solemn High Mass was celebrated by
the Rev. Oliver Dolphin of Anoka, as
sisted by Father Bouska of Lonsdale
as deacon, and Father Meade of North
field as subdeacon. Father Deere of
Credit River was master of ceremo-
nies. The Right Reverend Bishop
Lawler, who was attended during the
Mass by Father Sullivan of Lakeville
and Father Cosgrove of Rosemount,
preached the sermon.
After Mass the women of the parish
served dinner in the spacious base
ment of the church to the visiting
clergymen, the people of Pennington,
and large number of visitors from
the adjoining parishes.
At three o'clock in the afternoon
Bishop Lawler confirmed class of
forty children, the first to receive this
Sacrament in the new church. The
ceremony was witnessed by large
congregation and a sermon on the sig
nificance of Confirmation was preached
by the officiating prelate.
The Church of st. Michael, built un
der the direction of the pastor, Rev. J
r. Power, takes the place of the old
frame church which for many years
sufficed for the needs of the congre
cation. The new church stands or

THE TEST OF HIGHER EDUCATION

expanded; not to be explained away,
but to be reasoned out and built up.
Being the immediate result Of the
light of reason and of universal ex-
perience within it's limits it is final,
and within its limits it is the test of
true education. Here all the faculties
of man, the aesthetic, the moral, the
religious sense along with reason, are
harmoniously held and hence should
be harmoniously developed. For not
in the abnormal distension of one fac
ulty and the atrophy of others, but in
the harmonious development of all
faculties truth and true education
dwell.
Now there is an education, which,
whatever it's plausible reasons, does
not develop the data of common sense,
but contradicts them at every point.
1t substitutes nebulous theories for
rock-ribbed facts. 1t confounds moral
ity with knowledge, man with the
beast, the divine Christ with fatuous
dreamers, and God with the world.
Well may it complain in the end that
it has lost the key to the universe.
What wonder since it opposes the ar
tificial and unnatural school of man
to the natural and grace-given school
of God! But what is to become, then,
you will say, of our nebula and its in
tegrations, of our atoms and our mole
cules, of our homogeneities and our
heterogeneous, with which we build
up all and explain all? What are we
to say of all those theories, by which
men have made for themselves a
great name and a great place in the
palace of education! We say, apply
the test" When you place a strip of
litmus paper in a compound, you de-
tect by it's discoloration the presence
of an acid. You do not have to ex-
plain the how or the wherefore of
the discoloration. Without such ex-
planation the test is sure. Or, again;
the most subtle mathematician that
ever lived could not prove to child
| that all the angles of triangle are
equal to more than two right angles.
The child would, doubtless, be un-
able to point out the flaw in his rea-
soning. But flaw there must be, for,
what proves too much, proves moth
ing. Now there is an education,
which contains corroding acid, since
it is opposed to the best sentiments
of the human race. There is an edu-
cation which proves too much since
| it is opposed to the universal judg-

Word has just been received from
Rome that the Holy See has accepted
the resignation of the Right Reverend
James Trobec, Bishop Of st. Cloud.
This action was taken at the urgent
request of Bishop Trobec himself who
assigned failing health as a reason for
his desire to lay aside the duties and
responsibilities of the Episcopate and
pass the rest of his days in retire
ment.
For number of years he has been
anxious to do this; but was restrained
by his friends and advisers. He finally
decided, however, to forward his
resignation to the Roman authorities
and in Difference to his expressed wish
the Holy See acceded to his request.
His resignation was accepted with
regret, because the Holy See is fully
aware of the virtues and zeal of
Bishop Trobec whose devotion to duty
is matter of common knowledge.
In testimony of the confidence re-
posed in him, the Holy See has ap-
pointed him Administrator of the

DR. Olin Sawyer.

Georgetown, April 26:-L A Bea-
ty, editor of the Georgetown Times,
was arrested here yesterday after
noon on charges of libel, brought by
DR. Olin Sawyer. The action was
the result of the publication in The
Times yesterday of an article rela-
ting to a political meeting at Car

which a killing occurred. The ar
rest of Mr. Beatty was made by
Sheriff H H Ward in the latter's Of

case will be conducted here tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock.
DR. Sawyer is recognized as one of
the prominent Blease leaders in
Georgetown county. The policy of
the Georgetown Times is one of op-
position to Governor Blease. 1t
seems that the action against Mr.
Beatty is similar to that brought

LEAF FROM THE PAST.
Journal of Council for Wednes-
day, April 16, 1745.

Editor County RecorQ:-
The enclosed petition is from the
journals of the council. Unfortu-
nately the names of the petitioners
are not given in the journal. Nor
are we told what disposition was
made of the petition. Was this
fort ever built at Kingstree? This
question will perhaps never be
answered. Just what tribe of In
dians thescolonists feared, does not
appear. From the journals of
Barnwell & Nairue, it would appear
as if very few Indians were living
in this section in ..17l5, thirty years
earlier. The Wineyeans or Wee
Nees had only about 60 men, women
and little children at the time of
Branwell's census in IT'S.
