ev1tably turn their eyes to the United States and
1t Is through them that the query comes as to
whether the United States can supply few hun
dred millions capital
The answer which may be given to the question
will determine whether the United States is to
obtain commercial supremacy and to dominate
South America financially.
European hnanciers who until the New York
Stock exchange was closed were getting gold by
unloading American securities in their look ahead
are now doubtless revolving the same question as
to what the United States may do in the way of
financing South America. To them the question
takes the form of query: Whether any of the
$2,000O00,000 indebtedness of the South American
governments can be shifted to the United States,
and If so how soon and under what terms?
Two billion dollars represents in round numbers
what the South American countries owe in the
form OF public debts What may be called the
tional debts do not foot up this sum- but the mu-
nicipal and state provincial debts, some OF
which are not guaranteed by the national govern
ment, bring up the total.
All the South American countries have had the
borrowing habit Some Of the weaker and more
reckless ones have given the whole continent
bad name. Yet the truth is that in view Of re-
sources and natural wealth and the rapid develop
ment that has been going $200O.00O.00O is not
an extravagant public debt total
It will be found, moreover, that the very large
proportion of the debts has been created by the
countries which are solvent and which scrupulous-
iy meet their obligations.
Since the international imbroglio in which the
United States took hand, Venezuela has been
paving off its debt until now the total amount
outstanding is less than $3.50 900.
Colombia has what is known as a consolidated
debt, which does not exceed $24O0O,00O The
country has managed to meet the interest in
manner to satisfy even the critical British foreign
bondholders committee. Colombia whether it
gets the $25,0O0,O00 Panama gratuity from the
United States or not, wants general loan OF
something like $5000OOOO to build railways and
rehabilitate the country generally.
Ecuador has q public debt not exceeding $780,

Two years ago the Argentine debt
was approximately 1857 900. 900. a
year later it had risen nominally
to 1892, 100000.
Something more than a year ago
Argentina sought to float a new
loan in France, but the conditions
were unfayorable. "A new loan on
the same basis would doubtless
still be desirable, but the Argen-
tine government would look to
New York rather than to Paris or
London for funds.
Brazil's various debt issues now
approximate $500. 100000. There
have been loans for public I'M

Brazil, as a vast country, greater
In size than the United States, with
undeveloped resources the extent
of which is not yet known, has
been free borrower.
Within the last year there have
been various propositions for new
loans to take up the old ones. It
is not likely that any Brazilian loan
can now be floated in Europe and
none is therefore likely to be

The Presence of Evil.

We are all, my brethren, born chill
dren of wrath, by virtue of that orig
inal stain which is transmitted from
generation to generation with the
blood of a guilty father. This world,
stained with SO many vices, covered
with so many ruins, strewn with SO
many SORROWS, preserves everywhere
the imprint of primitive degradation
whose traces the coursing centuries
have not been able to efface. And
this world, and man himself, becomes
in his own eyes an insoluble problem,
unless he goes back, for the solution,
to that first fall, the fatal cause of all
other catastrophes, to that first DESC
lation, the lamentable source of all
other desolations. For man, as a mat
ter of fact, presents such a strange
mixture of good and evil, of strength
and weakness, of vileness and grand
eur, that we could never recognize,
in such strange combination, the
work of God preserved in its primi-
tive perfection. We find indeed in
the noble countenance, in the brow
lifted up to heaven, in the intellect
where reason has established its en-
pire, in the heart where burn the
ardors of fire divine, in the soul
whence spring SO many sublime emo
tions and celestial aspirations, we
find in all these precious gifts certain
traces of the image of God, certain
living vibrations of the breath of the
Almighty. But also, when we see that
forehead bowed beneath the destroy
ing yoke of vice, when we place our
hand on the heart that is filed with
thousand peryerse inclinations, when
we search the depths of the intellect
which is ofttimes only an abyss of
darkness, or the recesses of the con-
science, the horrible abode of all
crimes and all remorse, who could
recognize in this the work of God, and
who could say: Behold man such as
God conceived him, behold man such
as he issued from the bountiful and
omnipotent hand of the Creatorl" The
world, then, is no longer such as God
created it, nor is man such as the
hand of God fashioned him, But, sur
rounded on all sides by the signs of the
wrath of God, we bear upon our per-
sons the scares of His avenging blows,
and all of US, unhappy children OF
Adam, all included in a common male
diction, must lament, on our. arrival in
this world, the lost treasure of our

GOOD SAMARITAN HOME
A WORTHY CHARITY FOUNDED
BY Mr.. DoWNEY OF
WASHINGTON.

The Home of the Good Samaritan,
1917 L Street, N. W., Washington, D.
c., was founded by the late Mr..
Downey on February 8, 1895, to afford
a temporary home for unemployed
men; for hospital convalescents, dis
charged prisoners, the old and infirm,
wayward boys, ETC., where they can
get food, lodging and the necessary
assistance, without the ignominy of
begging. Everything in the Home is
absolutely free, no charge being made
and no labor exacted other than the
ordinary household duties. No salaries
are paid any one, and all monies re-
ceived are devoted to the maintenance
of the Home.
There are twenty-five comfortable
beds, a well stocked library, hot and
cold baths, facilities for washing and
mending clothing, repairing shoes, for
hair-cutting and shaving; in short
everything necessary for men to re.
habilitate themselves before making
a new start. In addition to this the
Home secures work for the men, and
an average of 200 men every year find
employment through it. The Home
is non-sectarian, but probably rs pei
cent of the applicants are Catholics
Since its institution 1926 men have
passed through it and partaken of its
benefits.

SERMON PREACHED AT ST. PAUL
SEMINARY ON THE FEAST OF
THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
BY REV. OLIVER DOLPHIN OF
ANOKA.

"This law is not made for thee, but
for all others" esther, xv-13.)
Assuerus, deceived by the crafty
plots of the proud and cruel Aman,
had issued a decree of prescription
and death against the children of
Israel; and according to an ancient
law of the Assyrians, no one was per-
mitted to appear before the monarch
to implore his mercy, unless author
lied by the invitation of the king him
self. The rash man who should dare
to break this inviolable law would at
once pay with his life for his audacious
Semerity. And yet, in spite of the
awful authority of the law, a young
maiden of Juda resolved to risk her
life for the salvation of her people.
Pale and trembling, Esther made her
way through the palace guards, and
fell fainting at the feet of Assuerus,
not knowing whether she should re-
ceive sentence of pardon or draw
down upon her head a new decree of
death. But the naughty monarch,
touched rather than surprised by the
courage and devotion of the maiden
gently lifted her up, and seating her
beside him on his throne, said to her:
This law was not made for thee, but
for all Others Non pro te, sed pro
omnibus haec lex constitute est.
Ny brethren, does it not seem to
you that something of like nature must
have taken place in the councils of
eternity, when God, anticipating the
march of ages, selected Mary to be the
restorer of humanity? A daughter
of Adam, the offspring of a corrupted
race, how could she act as mediator
between guilty man and his thrice
holy God, If she were not holy and
spotless herself? God, therefore, cast
ing a glance Of love ineffable upon the
woman whom He wished to bless be-
yond all other women, revoked in her
favor the decree of universal male
diction. mo, my beloved, this law
was not made for thee, but for all
others" Non pro te, sed pro omnibus
haec lex constitute est. Then did she

promised to the world, for the enemy
of God and men could never boast Of
victory over her. In hoe cognovi
quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non
gaudebit inimicus super me. Already
the countenance of the Virgin shone
radiant across the ages with that i'm
mortal aureole that no stain should
ever sully, no spot should ever OBJ
scure. All, my brethren, now that the
crown Of the Virgin proclaimed i'm
maculate by a decree of Catholic
faith shines with splendor more
brilliant than ever before, let us for a
moment mediate upon her glorious
privilege, and let us learn to love, to
honor ever more and more her whom
God Himself has delighted to honor
and to love.

SACRED COLLEGE BEREAVED
CARDINAL DI PIETRo, DEAN OF
THE SACRED COLLEGE, PASSES
AWAY IN HIS EIGHTY-slxTH
YEAR-cREATED CARDINAL IN
1898.

His Eminence Cardinal Angelo Di
Pietro died at Rome on December s.,
in the eighty-sixth year of his age.
He was the oldest member of the
Sacred College, to which he was ele-
waited by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII,
in 1893.
The deceased Cardinal was born in
Vivario, in the Diocese of Tivoli,
Italy, May %, 1928. For a number
Of years he was Vicar General of the
Diocese. In 1865 he was consecrated
Titular Bishop of Nissa and eleven
years later was made Titular Arch
bishop Of Naz:anza, and appointed
Apostolic Delegate in South America.
He occupied several other important
positions prior to his appointment as
Papal Nuncio at Madrid in 1887.
There is tradition that Cardinals
die in threes. Last week we record
ed the death Of Cardinal Cavallari.

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

original justice and our primitive hap
| piness.
Once only was this decree of in
effaceable anathema suspended. And
it was to Mary that the honor of this
privilege was reserved; an unexam-
pied exception to the iron law under
which all the generations of humanity
groan. Yes, Mary was conceived with
out original sin. There we have a
canticle of praise which all the voices
of the universe repeat to her glory;
the voices of the prophets of the Old
Law, the voice of the tradition within
the Catholic Church, the very voice of
reason itself, tell the story to all who
accord our august mysteries the honor
of an instant of serious reflection:
Voice of the Prophets.
I'm the first place, the voice Of
the prophets of ancient times. The
world was hardly issued from the
abyss of nothingness, it spread out
before the eyes of the satisfied Creator
all the marvels of His work, when
already the genius of evil came to dis
turb the peace and harmony of this
young and blooming creation. Satan,
the tyrant of the abyss, had just
gained great victory; he had just
infected with his own poison that
happy and virgin earth; he had just
wounded unto death the man and the
woman, the eldest son and daughter
of God, the two most beautiful works
of his hand, the two wonders amongst
all the wonders of the universe. In a
transport of wrath and indignation,
the Eternal confronted the audacious
seducer, laid his curse upon him, and
demanded an account of his sacri-
legious act: Thou, perfidious and
cruel serpent, that hast triumphed
over the weakness and credulity of
the woman, know that thou shalt not
forever boast of thy victory. For one
day l shall put enmity between thee
and the woman, between thy seed and
her seed. Thou shalt exhaust against
her all the ingenuity of thine implac-
able hatred; but, immune to the poi
son of thy sting, she shall laugh at thy
impotent efforts, and with her vic
torious heel she shall crush thy head"
Et ipsa conteret caput tuum. Who is
this woman, whom God thus indicates
in the dim distance of the ages as
fated to rob Satan of his prey, if not
Nary? And if this august Virgin had
ever felt the least attaint of sin, if the
devil had infected her also with his
mortal poison, how could have been
accomplished the oracle of doom
which said that she was to crush the
head Of the Internal serpent? Would
not Satan, instead Of suffering the
punishment for his first attack, have
had reason to boast of new conquest?
The second Eve, then, must have been
forever exempt from the weaknesses
and stains which had afflicted the first
woman; and while the unhappy
mother of all men gave death to all
her children before giving them life,
Mary was to heal them all without

twenty-five years ago on the twen-
ty-seventh of this month, the Right
Reverend James McGolrick was con-
secrated first Bishop of Duluth, Mimi,
by the Most Reverend Archbishop
Ireland in the old Cathedral of st.
Paul. At the same ceremony the
Right Reverend John Stanley first
Bishop of Jamestown, as the Epis-
copal See of what is now the Diocese
of Fargo was then called, and the
Right Reverend Joseph B. Cotter, first
Bishop of Winona, were also elevated
to the episcopate.
Bishop McGolrick is the sole sur
vivor of the three priests raised to
the episcopal dignity on December 27,
1889. The weight of years-he has
passed the seventy-third milestone of
life-does not press heavily upon him.
He is still active and vigorous and
devotes himself unsparingly to the
manifold duties inseparably linked
with the government of an extensive
diocese. Prior to May, 1910, his au-
thority extended over all the territory
now comprised in the Dioceses of Du-
luth and Crookston.
Since December q, the actual ami
versary of conservation, falls on Sun
day, the following Tuesday, December
29, has been chosen as the date of the
official celebration of the silver jubi-
lee. Bishop McGolrick will officiate
on that day at the Pontifical High
Mass celebrated in the Cathedral of
the Sacred Heart. This will be the
principal event of the jubilee which
will be observed as quietly as possible
in Difference to the wishes of the
Bishop.
During the jubilee, the Reverend
Clergy, the Religious Orders and the
laity of the diocese will give express
sion to their filial devotion and high
esteem for their venerable chief pas
tor; and the host of friends of Bishop
McGolrick will join with them in wish
ing him many more years of distin-
guished service in the cause of re-
ligion.

now too small for the purpose for
which it was established.

PIONEER NUN DEAD
SISTER MARY OF THE SISTERS OF
CHARITY SPENT SIXTY YEARS
IN RELIGION.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, Sister
Mary Stella of the Sisters of Charity
of the Blessed Virgin Mary, died at
the Motherhouse of the Order, Du-
buque, Ia, in the seventy-eighth year
of her age and the sixtieth of her re-
ligious profession.
She was born in Ireland on Decem-
ber 2, 1886, and came to America with
her parents at an early age. In 1854
she entered the novitiate of the Sis
ters of Charity at Dubuque, the
seventy-sixth member of an Order
which now numbers eighteen hundred
sisters. Two years after the close of
her novitiate she was sent to Daven-
port, one of the pioneer band of seven
who founded the Immaculate Concep-
ton Academy in that city, where she
remained for more than ffty-fve
years.
