The commander has been the
Blucher upon many a Waterloo of the
army's warfare. Wherever there has
been persecution or difficulty, she has
been the first to volunteer to all the
gap. Like the gale-p proof petrol, she
has delighted to be found in the
storm. and her presence there has
again and again proved the herald
OF an era OF peace. In the riots OF
TorQuay. Whitechurch, Eastbourne
and Ryde, she figured as very Joan
of Arc. She protested the army.s
rights for open-air work at these
places, and personally led the parades |
through yelling and blood-thirsty |
mobs who offered rewards of $50 to |
any man who would knock her down |

equaled by her tact and wisdom be- /

THE LARGEST CHURCH
NorRE DAME, MONTREAL, is THE
LARGEST ON THE AMERICAN
CONTINENT.

The Church of Notre Dame de Bon
Secours (''Our Lady of Good Help"O,
Montreal, is one of the most magnifi-
cent on the American continent, and
seats from between 10000 and 10000
persons. Begun in 1924, the church
was opened in 1929. 1t is built in the
Gothic style of the thirteenth century
in the form of a parallelogram. 1t is
241 feet long and 1875 feet wide.
There are six towers, one on each
corner, and one in the middle of each
flank. The two on the main front rise
213 feet, nearly twice the height of
the others. In one of the main towers
is a peal of bells, the largest of which
weighs upward of 10000 pounds. The
church has several aisles and chapels;
it is 81 feet from the foundation Nto
the caves, and its principal front win
dow measures 81 by 80 feet. This
church, because of its huge size, is
often enormously styled the Cathedra
of Montreal.

Forty-one candidates were success

sity. These scholarships were made
possible by the gift of five hundred
thousand dollars to Cardinal Gibbons
i'll January of this year, for the pur-
large number of promising young stu
dents. The examinations were held
in twenty-five State centers and were
presided oyer in e or Case by an

MILITARY GOVERNOR OF MEXI-
CAN STATE ISSUES DRASTIC
ORDER AGAINST PRIESTS AND
DEPRiVES THE CHURCH OF
HER RIGHTS.

A decree limiting the scope of the
Catholic Church in the State of Nuevo
Laredo, Mexico, on the ground OF
public health, morality and justice
was issued on July 26 by Antonio /
Villareal, governor and military com
mander. He said:
During the life of the nation, the
Church has been pernicious factor
in disruption and discord and has en-
tirely forgotten it's spiritual mission.
The most drastic feature of the de
cree is the prohibition of confession
Villareal, as his reason for this, makes
the charge that the confessional and
the sacristy in Mexico have become 9
menace to morality.
The decree issued in Monterey
contains the following orders for the
government of Catholic schools and
churches:
'First-All foreign Catholic priest:
and Jesuits of whatever nationality
will be expelled from the State o
Nueva Laredo.
"Second-Of the remaining Catholic
priests those who cannot prove thei
complete abstention from politics viii
be expelled.
"Third-Churches will remain opel
daily from 6 in the morning until
in the afternoon. Only priests hayini
permission to do so will be permittet
to officiate.
Fourth Confession is prohibited.
"Fifth-The public is prohibite'
from entering the sacristy.
"Sixth-Church bells shall ring onl
to celebrate fiestas in honor of tn
country, or for triumphs of the COZ
stitutionalists arms.
"Seventh-All Catholic college
shall be closed which do not obey tn

PROSECUTING THE CHURCH

head some professor who is graduate
of the normal schools of the country,
who will be responsible to the govern
ment for any infraction of the rules"
The Catholic churches recently have
been closed in Saltillo, San Luis Po-
tosi and Nuevo Laredo.
This official belongs to the party
which has been supported by the
American Government in it's attempt
to get control of the political situa-
ton in Mexico. He probably thinks
that by prescribing the Catholic
clergy and forbidding the Church the
free exercise of her constitutional
rights in Mexico, he will curry favor
with the United States, believing, no
doubt, that this is a Protestant coun-
try and that it will uphold him in his
persecution of the Catholic Church.
His action may be taken as indicative
of what will follow if the so-called
Constitutionalists come into power in
Mexico. Evidently, the Catholic
Church cannot expect anything but
persecution from them.
If the American Government helps
to place Carranza and his party in
control in Mexico, it will be its bound
en- duty to see that the people are
| safeguarded in their religious lib
critics and that the Catholic Church
is upheld in the exercise of her sacred
ministry among them. Nothing short
of this will satisfy the needs of the
situation nor be acceptable to right
thinking Americans, no matter what
their religious affiliations may be.
In view of what has taken place, il
! would be proper for American Catho
/ lies to raise their voice in protest
against the outrages committed
against the Church, her priests and
religious, by the Mexican bandits. II
any Mexican official were to take such
drastic action against any sect as
Villareal has against the Catholic
Church, the White House would be
bombarded with protests in twenty
four hours. How long before Ameri
can Catholics viii come to the assist
ance of their prosecuted co-religion
j lists in Mexico?

CAUSE OF AMERICAN NUN
EFFORT MADE TO SECURE WRIT

In connection with the effort which
is now being made to have Mother
Theodore Guerrin, founder of the
Sisters of Providence in the United
States, canonized the Right Reverend
Francis Chatard, Bishop Of Indian
apolis, Ind, commanded any person
having any letters or writings of
Mother Theodore to deliver them to

ecclesiastical commission appointed
to take evidence in the case has fin
ished the first part of its work and
the records have been sent to Rome.
The search for any letters or writ
ings, whether written personally or
dictated by Mother Theodore, is now
being made in the hope of throwing
additional light upon her life and
deeds.
