els it any wonder that believing
Protestant ministers preach to
empty benches, ands that thousands
of Protestant churches have been
closed in this Christian land in the
last few years, as reported by the
different Protestant denominations? I?
And is it any wonder the Catholic
church has been increasing so rap
idly in America since that great
church does not stand on shifting
and uncertain foundation?
"While yearly reports show many
of the Protestant clergy going about
in the dark, feeling for some solid
biblical foundation stone upon which
to build their religious belief, the old
church stands firm, as it has done
for ages; it has never repudiated the
great foundation truths of the Chris
tian religion; the virgin birth and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. We
must, therefore, admire this great
religious body (the Catholic church)
for being able to Withstand the fierce
assaults of agnosticism, infidelity
and so-called new thought, and to be
today a lasting defense of the funda-
mental truths Of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ"

CURED AT ST. ANNE'S.

A dispatch from Quebec to the To-

his crutches for the past three years,
and had gone on a pilgrimage to Ste.

Mr.. Doiron left his crutches in the
church and walked out a perfectly
able man.
Another cure on the same day was
effected on Mrs. Peter Lalonde of Ot-
tawa. She had been lately i'll with
dyspepsia. and had not been feeling
we'll for some time. This case, how
ever, is not very certain one. and
the parish priest of Ste. Anne is anx-

woman.
The most remarkable case was
that Of Mrs. George NARROW Of Wa

and had been condemned by several
doctors, who stated that she would
never be able to walk. AS a last
resort she went on a pilgrimage to
Ste. Anne de Beaupre, and there she
was cured Of her wasting disease on
the Gath of June. She left her
crutch behind her in the church. as
evidence Of her complete recovery.
During the past six weeks some rs
cures are said to have been effected

BISHOP McFAUL AND THE
BIGOTS

The Mercer County Federation of
Patriotic Societies held celebration

according to a press dispatch, their
faith in the American flag. and their
belief that the Bible should be read
in the public schools" Thousands ~
the merchants carried copies of the
Bible in their hands, and there were
scores Of floats drawn by children
with the Bible lying open. There
were many other floats depicting the
"little red schoolhouse," with signs
reading that the public school system
must be protected.
The press dispatches say that for
weeks there had been rumors that
the demonstration would be anti
Catholic, but the leaders of the
movement made an emphatic denial
that the parade was in any way in
tended as reflection on Ctholics.
Any persons who sought to strike at
the Catholic Church by means of the
parade received strong rebuke in
the action of Bishop McFaul, who.
in honor of the merchants, decled
his residence with flags and also
draped st. Mary's Cathedral in the
national colors. To show his feeling
on the situation, Bishop McFaul on
the evening of the demonstration is
sued the following statement:
II was much pleased with the
demonstration made by the federated
societies and with their orderly

"Flags were displayed on my

Comment

The cabinet meeting held on Tues
day was without success. Premier
Asquith, through the King, invited
the leaders to a conference in the
hope that some agreement could be
reached. On adjournment of the
conference the Unionists and Ma
tionalist leaders made no attempt to
compromise. Redmond firmly de-
clined to go beyond the concession
offered through Premier Asquith for
a vote on Home Rule by counties.
These concessions, the Nationalists
declare, are the extent to which the
Nationalists can go in an attempt to
pacify Ulster. King Georges speech
has had very unfavorable effect on
the Liberalists and has gone far to
widen the breach that already exists
between the opposing parties. Prem
ier Asquith. in an attempt to lessen
the effect of the speech, assumed
full responsibility for the utterances
of the king. The Liberalist press
throughout Great Britain is very bit
ter in it's denunciation of King
Georges speech and declares that
certain parts of it were put into his
mouth by the Carsonites.

The following is the address of
King George, which has created so
much comment from the Liberalist

added feeling of bitterness into the
situation.
''It is with feelings of satisfaction

Offer to Him." Noted orators deliv-
cred addresses on subjects which
naturally group themselves under
these heads. The first ceremony at
which was read the rescript of Pope
Plus x. appointing Cardinal Pig

One feature of the congress not
possible in other cities was a mani
festation of the efficacy Of the
"eure." A rule had been promulgat-
ed that there should be no healing
during the congress-, but Bishop
Schoepfer announced that at the con-
clusion of the professions of the days
the patients who are three may re-
ceive the benediction of the blessed
sacrament. Among the sufferers
there is a little child from South
America who was taken to Lourdes
by it's mother. The child, pro-
nounced hopelessly i'll by physicians,
has shown a remarkable improve
ment.'
The Pontifcal Mass celebrated by
the Cardinal legate on Sunday was
at the grotto in the open air and in
the presence of thousands. On one
side was the great ARRAY of prelates
and distinguished visitors, while a
great field on the other side was
filled to overflowing with delegates
and visitors.
This was preceded by the process
sion of the blessed sacrament, which
is regarded as second only to the
procession of Corpus Christi at
Rome. It is an impressive manifes-
tation of the dignity of the church.
At the head of the procession as
it begins its march appeared corps
of Pyrnean guides in picturesque
costumes, mounted. Behind them
came buglerse, drummers and band
in medieval costume. Then followed
different societies from many coun-
tries. all with banners flying.
Following them came priests In
nigris, priests in surplices. canons
from all the dioceses. and titular and
honorary chaplains of Notre Dame
de Lourdes. The Chapter Of the
Cathedral Of Tarbes formed a sec
ton by itself, followed by many pre-
lates, apostolic prothonotaries,
priests and abbots. Bishops in vio-
let robes and other in gay colored
robes formed another part of the
procession.
The grand master Of ceremonies
followed with his assistants. They
led a corps of incense burners. fol-
lowed by a division of torch bearers,
preceding the Cardinal legate, who
bore the blessed sacrament on dais.
He was accompanied by his suite.
Bishop schoepfer followed wearing
the cappa magma and surrounded by
his vicars-general.
The route was through territory,
famous throughout the Catholic
world. Leaving the Basilica, the
nrocession moved through the princi-
nal streets. ending when the Cardinal
leeate. from a superb seat erected
on the heights of the street Of the
Rosary, gave a final salute to the
blessed sacrament.
