PASSING Of THE OLD CATHEDRAL
WHAT 1T MEANS TO THE cATHo-
Lies OF THE CENTRE OF THE
clTY-THE FAREWELL SERVICE
WILL RECALL PIONEER DAYS.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
VIM. F. Markoe.)

The passing Of the Old Cathedral
will cause a bitter pang to many an
old settler. The few weeks that re-
main before it's destruction are like
the hours spent at the bedside OF a
dying friend or relative. Or, rather,
they are like the anxious waiting for
the execution of grim old warrior,
who after spending his life fighting in
a noble cause, is captured at last by
the enemy and condemned to be shot
to death on the morrow The appar-
ent surrender of everything holy and
noble in religion to the grasping greed
for gold in the irresistible march of
industrial progress, suggests the I'M
notation of an innocent and defence
less child on the altar of Moloch.
Were it not for the fact that
larger, nobler, and more lasting edi-
flee already rears it's cross-crowned
dome high above the city, the thought
of the razing of the Old Cathedral
around which cluster SO many tender
memories would be unbearable.
Even so, it's destruction will leave
a great void in the commercial center
of the city. Hundreds of daily visits
to the Blessed Sacrament, not to men,
ton First Friday Communions, will
doubtless have to be discontinued, for
a few blocks make a great difference
to the toiling multitudes in the busi-
ness portion OF the city, and it is
hardly likely that either the Church
of the Assumption or of st. Louis,
will be able to fill the place of the Old
Cathedral where time and distance
play so important part in business
life
The idea of holding a farewell serv-
ice in the Old Cathedral is certainly a
happy one. 1t will bring together a
number of pioneer pew holders, pio-
neer altar boys, pioneer Sisters of St.
Joseph, and-I had almost said
pioneer priests-but, alas, where are
they?
But we are certainly fortunate in
having in the Most Reverend Arch
bishop of ST. Paul one who, in his
own person, links the pioneer mis-
sionaries with the clergy of the pres
ent. None can recall the past better
than he His sermon on that occasion
will surely make the day memorable
in the annals of the Church in St
Paul, and it is to be hoped that his
last words in the Old Cathedral will
be carefully preserved He can be
counted on to voice fond farewell to
the old landmark for the entire Catho.
lie population of the Archdiocese, as
well as for the citizens of ST. Paul
generally.

quested to communicate with Mr.. Will
liam O'Gorman, 80 West Tenth Street.
ST. Paul, who will send them cards
notifying them of the place of as
sembly before Mass and emitting them
to a reserved seat in the Cathedral
at the Mass. Already large number
of names have been secured and no
doubt the list will be considerably
added to before the proposed service
takes place. Mr. OGorn1an is most
anxious to get the names of all who
are entitled to be enrolled among the
pioneers present at the cornerstone
laying and any person who knows the
name and address of any one, in the
Twin Cities or elsewhere, who can
claim the distinction of having been
present at that ceremony should noti
fly him, giving the name and address,
in order that he may communicate
with them and make arrangements to
have them present at the closing serv-
ice.
1t will be a memorable occasion
which will bring together for the last
time before the altar of the old Cathe-
dral the comparatively small number
of people now living who can recall
the events of July 27, 1856, when, in
presence of the Right Reverend
Joseph Cretin, first Bishop of st. Paul,
the cornerstone of the old Cathedral
was laid by the Right Reverend Bfsh-
op Timon of Buffalo, N. Y. The Cath
olics of st. Paul especially should be
interested in this celebration and
should notify Mr. O'Gorman of any
person who is entitled to a seat of
honor on that occasion.

PSALM Xiv.
ERUcTAVlT COR MEUM.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hielscher.)

My heart has uttered joyful word,
i speak my works to the king,
My thoughts run swift as the scriven-
er's pen,
AS q song in His praise ! sing.
Thou art fairer than all the sons of
men,
Thy lips pour grace abroad,
Therefore art thou forever and aye,
The blessed of thy Lord and God.
In beauty and comeliness set thou
forth,
Go prosperously on and reign,
For truth and justice walk with thee,
And meekness is in thy train.
But sharp thine arrows are in the
fight,
For the foe there is no ruth,
Eternity measures thy reign, Oh Lord F!
Thy sceptre is right and truth.
Thou hast loved the right and hated
wrong,
Therefore, Oh God, thy God,
Doth anoint thy brow with the oil OF
joy,
And thy name to the people laud.
Thy garments are sweet with the rich
perfume
OF cassia, aloes and myrrh,
From the ivory house, where on thee
wait
The king and his daughters fair.
And a noble queen is at thy right
hand,
In golden raiments dressed,
Oh! Daughter leave thy fathers
house,
And the king shall love thee best.
And the daughters of Tyre shall come
with gifts,
And the rich shall implore thy grace
The kings child's beauty is all within
A border of gold and lace.
And virgins shall come to thy gates
oh king!
And thy sons as princes reign,
And thy kingdom shall not depar
from earth,
Forever and ever. Amen.

.PAPAl EXPLOITATION
POPE Plus x. ASKS CATHOLICS
TO PRAY FOR CESSATION
OF WAR.

His Holiness, Pope Plus x, has is
sued the following exhortation to
Catholics as a result of the war which
threatens the peace of Europe.
while nearly all Europe is being
drawn into the vortex of this disas-
trous war, and all the world is consid-
ering with horror it's dangers and it's
future consequences, We also are
deeply affected and Our soul is torn
by the bitterest grief for the safety
Of life of so many Christian peoples
beloved to Us. We feel and know that
this universal trouble demands the
paternal love of Our Apostolic Ministry
and that We do all in Our power to
cause mems minds to be lifted to Him
from Whom alone help can come
Christ, the true Prince of Peace, the
most powerful Mediator before God
for mankind.
Wherefore We exhort Catholics,
children of the Church, throughout
all the world to hasten by prayer to
His throne of Grace and Pity, and we
advise that first, as an example to
their people, all the clergy under di-
rection of their Bishops should offer
public prayers in their respective
parishes petitioning God to take pity
upon His creatures and remove as
soon as possible from this earth the
fearful torches of war, and mercifully
inspire in all earthly rulers the
thought and desire of peace and not
of conflict.

THE CHURCH IN DENMARK
sTATIsTIcs SHOW PRoeREss-71
PRIEsTs-3e CHURCHES AND "a
MlssIoNs-RELIeIoUs ORDERS.

A few statistics will show the prog
ress of Catholicity in Denmark, writes
C. M. Wage in the Catholic World.
In 1860 Denmark had a population of
1,608,362; with 1,240 Catholics. In
1910 the population was 2,588919,
with 1870 Catholics not including a
large number of Polish laborers, who
have lately immigrated to Denmark.
At the present ratio about two hun
dred conversions take place annually,
and it is worthy of notice that the
nobility is well represented among
them, also professional men, artists,
and literary men, Among the latter
should be noted the convert, Johannes
Jorgensen, one of the leading authors
of the country, whose facile pen has,
since his conversion, championed the
cause of Mother Church with marked
vigor. When Father Won Euch came
to Denmark in 1850, there were only
two congregations, with church for
each Copenhagen and Fredericia).
At the death Of Monsignor Grudur,
Denmark had eight congregations,
composed chiefly of converts, with
sixteen houses of worship. And when,
in 1910, Bishop Won Euch celebrated
| his golden jubilee as a priest, there
were twenty-four mission stations in
the country, with thirty-six churches
and chapels, some of which are very.
beautiful.
In the same year there were in
Denmark seventy-one priests, secu-
lar and religious Some OF the secu-
lar clergy have been prominent in
civic as well as ecclesiastical life
Notable among them are the Rev.
'Clemens Stolp, a German, who built
entirely at his own cost a fine church
and school in the city of Holding;
the Rev B. Hansen, ID. d., of Nestved,
!. who was elected several times to a
seat in the city council, and the Rev.
J. l.. v. Hansen, who translated the
i New Testament
Among the orders represented are
! the Jesuits, Franciscans, Lazarists,
! Marists, Redemptorists, and others.
, The Jesuits take the lead as teachers
: and writer's on reIigious-scientific sub.
: jects. One of their number, Rev.
i Amandus Breitung, through his writ.
: fIlgs and his brilliant discourses, has
gained universal popularity in academ-
} zeal circles, both as theologian and
/ a scientist.

of years, always in the possession of
a priest. The Testament is believed
to be one of very few of the edition

FOR NEXT CONVENTION.

The delegates to the National Con-
vention of the Knights of Columbus,
which met in ST. Paul last week, as
we'll as the thousands of visitors
which that event brought to the city,
were more ian we'll pleased with the
modation and entertainment by the
Knights of Columbus of Minnesota
and especially by the members of the
st. Paul Council
Before the delegates left their homes
each was provided with a card CIV
ing the name of the hotel at which
he was to stop and the number of the
room he was to occupy, as well as a
tag to be attached to his baggage to
ensure its prompt delivery at the hotel
to which he was assigned The
weather was ideal throughout the
week and the plans made for the en-
tertainment of the visitors were car
ried out without hitch.
Among the delegates were four of
the original incorporators of the
knights Of Columbus in New Haven,
Conn, namely, Daniel Colwell, William
M. Geary, DR.. M. c. O'Connor and
Cornelius p Driscoll Two of the
Past Supreme Knights-John ]. Phe-
Ian of Bridgeport, Conn, and John J.
Cone of New Jersey-Were also pres
ent. Edward l.. Hearn, the other sur
viving Past Supreme Knight, was un-
aVoidably detained in the East.
The prelates who took part in the
convention were Bishop Busch of
Lead, S. d., Bishop Falion of London,
Ont, and Bishop-elect' Shahan, rector
Of the Catholic University Of Wash
| ington, who came to thank the knights
| for the magnificent gift of half mill
| lion dollars presented to that institu-
tion last January to establish fifty
scholarships for postgraduate work.
| There was no election of supreme
| officers at this convention as their
terms do not expire until next year.
| The four national directors whose
terms expire on September 1, were re-
elected. They are: George F. Mon
/ dSudu, D6IIOII, NICl., d. y. MCIEdW,
Ponca City, Okla; James Maher, Chi
cago, Ill.,, and William F. Fox, Indian
apolis, Ind. They will serve for three
years. Seattle was chosen as the
place of meeting for the National Con-
vention of 1915.
Many of the delegates and their
friends took advantage of the person
ally conducted tours through Yellow
stone and Glacier National Parks Of
fered by the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern railways, while others
visited nearer points of interest in the
Northwest.
The convention was generally voted
the most successful in the history OF
the order. The splendid new home OF
/ the st. Paul Council, where the ses-
sions were held, proved fully adequate
for the purposes of convention
Many complimentary references were
made to the completeness and ele.
gance of it's appointments.
