Cardinal Farley Secures Vatican's
Decree for More Rigorous Scrutiny
Of Pastors Coming to America
From Italy to Serve Immigrants.
Cardinal Farley Of New York, under
whom are more Italians than in any city
in Italy save Naples only, has labored
for years to bring in better conditions
in Catholic oversight of Italians emigrat-
ing to this country. Backed by others,
he has now succeeded in getting the
Vatican to decree that italian priests
shall be carefully examined in Italy be-
fore being permitted to leave for the
United States or to other countries to
which large numbers Of Catholic Ital-
ians have emigrated. The purpose is to
raise the standard Of priests who are to
care for italian Catholics.
Vast numbers of Italians have gone to
Brazil. the number being put at three
millions. and almost as many have gone
to France. Italy has, indeed. 1t is de-
clared. taken the place Of Germany as
the European nation sending out largest
numbers of emigrants. South Africa has

vision of the Vatican for such priests

A further part Of the plan. suggested
also by Cardinal Farley. and to at.
tend to which is part of his present
purpose in Rome, is the securing OF COM
petent italian leaders for the training
Of Italian young men already in America
to lead spiritually Italian congregations
here. The cardinal. in common with
others, regards the problem of shep'

Special Services to Be Held in Protestant Episcopal and
Roman Catholic Churches

1t Is regarded as specially sacred to
the Trinity, to whose honor the services
of the day are directly addressed. AS a
trace of its original agricultural character
the practice still prevails in the east, as
well as the west. of decorating the
churches, with evergreen and flowers. the
same as is done at the Christmas time.
Whitsunday, which is always seven
weeks after Easter Sunday, is celebrated
in the Roman Catholic Church with great
solemnity.
The festival is movable just as Easter
is, but the Pentecostal feast always fol-
lows Just seven weeks after the Easter
festival and the week which precedes
Whitsunday is known as Rogation week.
The feast derived its name. Pentecost,
from the fact that its celebration was de-
termined by an interval of seven weeks
from the feast of the passover. 1t orlgi-
mated in the Jewish Church and was in
troduced into the Christian Church as
day Of profound solemnity. q.

The prosecutions Of the Pharisees in

out vital and far-reaching truths con-

Difficulties and Dangers.
There is a message of consolation to
the disciples, who were suffering wrong.
in the fact pointed out by the Master
that injuries and offenses were the COM
mon lot of men. Tho snares to entrap
the Christian today are more numerous
and varied than those the disciples Of
Jesus raced. but the sources Of the
snares has remained the same. for Satan
still seeks his victims among Gods peo-
pie.
While It may be inevitable that COCA
sfons of temptation viii come because Of
Satan's power in tho world. yet the
Individual who makes the ideal moral
life harder for others to live cannot es-
cape the consequences Of his work. Al

would hurt the development Of young
Christian life. The person Responsible
for causing another to sin. especially one
young in years or faith, must answer TOT
his spiritual crime.
Christ championed children's welfare,
and all who by their lie or innuence
hinders the spiritual well-being Of any
young life must expect to answer to
the Master at the final Judgment for
their deeds. He that rebuked His own
disciples for their efforts In restraining

Recognition of Christian Church.

Another event of recent chronicle is
that the government Of Siam has granted
the Christian Church at Tapteank 1.-The
right to purchase and hold land for a
Christian cemetery and for the erection
OF a Christian church. thus giving the
Christian church the same rights to pur-
chase and hold land for church purposes
as is extended to Buddhist temples" And
assurance Is given that this right extends
to Christian churches throughout Siam.

Meaning Of Calamity.
In the light of the Scriptures we will
not misinterpret personal calamity. as
so many do. When the great Teacher
was told Of the Galileans, whose blood
PLATE had mingled with their sacrifices,
He answered: Suppose ye that these
Galileans were sinners above all the
Galileans, because they suffered such
things? I tell you. nay; but except We
repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or
those eighteen, upon whom the tower in
Silvam fell and slew them, think ye that
they were sinners above all men that
dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell We nay: but
except ye repent ye shall all likewise
Providence is the preacher of universal
repentance. History is the teacher
against sin and unrigheeousness With
this key, the Christian meaning OF all
events is disclosed.
When all men repent Of sin and turn
to Righteousness, there will be nothing
adverse or calamitous to record: all
events will be fortuitous and happy and
their meaning will be luminous in the
lignt Of Gods boundless love to men.
History confirms the teachings Of rev.
elation that the righteous alone are Tor
ever safe.

Moral Awakening.

Moral Awakening.
An item Of current history of Siam is
in point. Dating from olden time, de-
cree Of the government of Siam had
legahzed universal gambling on certain
festivals and holidays. including the
period Of the Chinese New Year holi-
days. Through government sanction
gambling became the one and only
amusement of the people. A recent pub
lication states that the policy of the gov
ernment' has been changed and a decree
has been issued aboNshing the privilege
of gambling on the occasions Of the peo-
pies festivals and holidays
The policy is now to minimize as far
as possible. the debasing evils arising
from the permission to indulge in what
is admitted to be an inherent national
vice. This Is a@step in the right di-
rection: and what has influenced the Off
Gals of the government to abandon its
immemorial traditions, usages and laws.
and undertake to establish better moral
condition?
Is 1t not because Of the good seed of
the gospel sown by Christian mission
aries. which God has watered. and caused
to bring forth the fruitage of higher and
nobler living?
