Death of Plus X.

During all of his eleven years in the Vatican
Pope Plus impressed upon the world those beau
tiful qualities of mind and heart which glorihed his
career from priest to pontif The influence of his
religious ZEAL gentle nature simple habits of life and
unceaSing endeavor in behalf of peace and the well
fare of mankind remains and is recognized BY Chris
tianity the world In his exalted place as head
of great church his life of piey and lofty principle
was example to the world
That the awful tragedy being enacted TODAY in
Europe narrowed the soul of this benign apostle of
peace and fastened his death cannot be doubted.
Before the storm broke his voice was lifted in fervent
appeal that it might be averted and his last official
message exhortation to prayer for peace in
which his whole nature spoke:
And in the midst of this universal confusion and
peril feel and know that both fatherly love and
apostolic ministry demand OF US that we should with
all earnestness turn the thoughts of Christendom
thther whence cometh help-to Christ, the Prince
Of Peace, and the most powerful mediator between
God and man."
The reign of Pope Plus X was not without grave
problems in the affairs of the church. and in dealing
with them his dominant spiritual inspiration guided
the statecraft of the Vatican.
The creation of two American cardinals by Pins
X and his genial and sincere interest in Americans
generally strengthened the bonds between the pont
and the church in this country. BY Catholics every
where he Justly venerated to the people of other
faiths his noble Christian life could but commend
itself as high example

It would seem to be the only reasonable and logical

that amount.

Nothing can be gained by discussion of the ques-
ton who is responsible for the war. Germans will
blame everybody but the Kaiser, and the people of
the other warning nations will blame nobody else.
How little any person justly be blamed is
practically proved by the fact that the whole world
has realized for years that the present staggering
conflict was inevitable. Probably it will be years
before we are permitted to read the correspondence
which preceded the hostilities.
