SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4TH, A DAY OF
PRAYER FOR PEACE.

To the Clergy and the Laity of the
Diocese of St. Paul:
Beloved Brethren:
The horror of war is upon the
world. For some two years a neigh
boring nation, Mexico, has been the
miserable prey of fiercest civil discord
Our own Republic itself, the United
States of America, recently was
brought to enter into battle in the
seaport of Vera Cruz. And now the
great nations of Europe are writhine
in a conflict, the equal of which, in
extent of operation and in direfulness
of losses, seemingly, was never here
tofore known in history.
Catholics of the entire world were
invited by the late Pontiff, Plus x,
and the present Pontiff, Benedict XIV,
to address to Almighty God fervent
prayers that soon the end may come
to warfare and peace may reign
among nations. In obedience to the
voice of the Vatican it was enjOined
upon the priests of the Diocese of st.
Paul to recite each day in the holy
Mass the Collects For Peace" This
recitation of those Collects will be
continued, so long as wars now raging
may last; and, in addition, the prayer
For peace" as given at the close of
this letter, will be said each day after
the Mass, so far as the rubrics of the
Church allow.
Now the chief Magistrate of the
United States asks that on Sunday,
October 4th, the whole people of the
land, assembled in their several tenn
pies, bow before the majesty of Him,
who is the Almighty Master of men
and of nations, and humbly beg that
war may pass away and peace be
restored. To the invitation of the
chief Magistrate we give dutiful
acquiescence. Besides the prayers
prescribed in obedience to the COM
mands of the Holy See, the Catholics
of the Diocese of st. Paul, in their
several churches, will hold Sunday,
October 4th, as a day of special prayer
for peace and harmony amid nations
now torn asunder by cruel warfare.
To this end, on Sunday, October 4th,
before the pnhlic reading of the Cos
pei, the Litany of the Holy Name of
Jesus will be recited by priest and
people, together with the prayer For
peace" as already indicated.
May the all-merciful God hearken to
our invocations! Whatever the pur-
poses of His Providence in permitting
present wars, whatever the final goal
towards which tend those purposes,
may purposes be quickly accom-
plished, goals quickly attained, so that
the sufferings the wars int1ict, the
sacrifices they impose, cease, and peo-
pies enjoy the blessings of secured
tranquility.

We deplore war: deplore it we
ever must. Still in this regard we
should be on our guard not to go too
far, and form judgments which neither
reason nor religion authorizes.
1t is not true that war is to be con-
demned as always unnecessary and
always unjust, that on whatever side
the combatants may be, they do wrong
when they engage in conflict. So long
as men remain men, and nations are
composed of men, controversies will
arise, and at times no other mode of
pacification is possible save the ar
bitrament of the battlefield. The
terrible ordeal is necessary that SUI
preme rights be saved, that supreme
righteousness be made to triumph.
Fearful, indeed, the sacrifice then
exacted from the individual member
of the nation. But the individual mem
ber is only a unit in the general body:
the salvation of the general body
never must prime over that of the
lower unit. And so, where the con-
sciousness of justice commands, and
redress is not possible outside the
battlefield, war is honorable, and the
soldier, in obeying the call of country
is obeying the supreme law of justice
and of patriotism, meriting to him
self the approval of earth and OF
Heaven.
1t is not true that the occurrence OF
war among Christian peoples is the
indication that the Christian religion
has failed in it's preachings, that il
the high heavens there reigns not al
almighty and ALLOWING power, caring
for men and for nations.
The Christian religion puts before
MS the ideal condition, universe
peace-peace made secure when al
men and all nations know whert
Justice lies, and seek it to the forget
fulness of private or public interest
Towards that ideal the Christian re
ligion labors and encourages human
ity to labor. But it has not set fort
the guarantee that, whatever it's owl
efforts. the human vision shall neve
be blinded or restricted in its gaze
that the human heart shall never b
enslaved by the passion OF wrong-dC
ing. The mission of Christianity
never a failure. 1t accomplishes it
purposes with men of good will. TIL
failure is with humanity itself, in it
lack of response and cooperation
Freedom of will remains: it is tn
inalienable endowment of the huma
soul. which the Almighty Himself n
spects. which His religion is not al
thorized to impair or destroy.
blame to Christianity for discord an
wars is a misconception of the missio
it has received from it's Founder.
God, indeed, has the power, if f
SO wills, to arrest sin and passion

PAPER READ BY DR.. RYAN OF ST.
PAUL SEMINARY AT THE THIRD
BIENNIAL CONFERENCE OF
CATHOLIC CHARITIES HELD AT
THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY,
WASHINGTON, D. c., SEPTEMBER
2O-23.

"The social side of charity" is a
phrase which may be properly used
either to designate a certain method
OF charitable action, or to denote GER
tain causes of distress, and the prob
lens arising therefrom. In the first
sense it connotes organization and CO.
operation. 1t refers to those relieving
and preventive works which are
effected through social agencies,
through the unified activities of So
cial group, as distinguished from the
isolated efforts of individuals. An
orphan asylum, st. Vincent de Paul
society, Women's charitable guild, a
National Conference of Catholic Chari-
ties, and a policy of cooperation be-
tween Catholic and other agencies,
all eXemplify the first acceptation of
the social side of charity 1t finds
further illustration in the first three of
the five topics following the chair
mans address on the program of this
Committee.
In it's second and more common
acceptation, the social side of charity
refers to those problems which are
connected with the social causes of
poverty and distress Certain forms
of misery can be traced primarily, OF
at least predominantly, to social fac
tors, that is, to the social environ
ment rather than to the personal
qualities of the individual affected.
Thus, an unregulated liquor traffic,
bad sewage system, q low scale of
wages, are social causes of distress;
for they do not originate in each in.
dividual independently, but proceed
from external conditions which operate
upon whole social group Causes of
this sort, and the means of combating
them, are quite obviously within the
field of the intelligent and effective
charity worker Two of them will be
discussed in the last two papers in
this Section.
The Point of View.
1t is Withtthe socialside of charity
in this second sense that I-wish to
deal this afternoon. At the outset
would observe that the practice of
contrasting social with individual
charity is unnecessary, misleading,
and altogether injurious. On the one
hand, we have those persons who con-
ceive charity in terms of the individual
exclusively. They think of it as COM
prising merely the direct alienation
of distress, as, through the giving of
food, clothing, shelter, medical attend
ance, or money On the other hand,
we have those who ignore or depre-
ciate the work of individual relief,
and who think that all effort should be
directed toward the removal of the
social causes of poverty. Obviously
neither of these conceptions is
adequate. The individualistic view
neglects whole series of preventive

The greatness of Wellington is never
more admiringly remembered than in
times of strife-and perhaps never
more usefully quoted. The duke n
day wanted a bridge constructed, and
the officer Of the royal engineers whom
he consulted on the matter reported
that it could not be managed. Another
officer was sem for, from another di-
vision of the army, with the result
that the task vas duly accomplished.
This caused the duke to put the fol
lowing in "Orders:" "He who in war
fails 20 do what he undertakes, may
always plead the accidents which in
Variably attend military affairs; but
he who declares a thing to be impos-
sible, which is subsequently accom-
plished, registers his own i%ncapacity."
Another wise saying" of Wellington
comes from another reader, and it is
appropriate to the moment. He was
asked what was the best test OF a
great general, and he answered.: ITO
know when to retreat; and to dare
to 20 it."-London Chronicle.
