THE NEED OF A VIRILE CATHo-
LIc LAITY-WORK FOR INDIVID-
UALs AND ORGANIZATIONS
TOO MANY "coMMERcIAL" AND
"SoclETY" CATHOLICS.

The tendency to condone inactivity
on the part of the laity on the plea
that there are no leaders of the peo-
pie in the present crisis and that lea
dership should come from the hier-
archy of the Catholic Church, is pitt
fully childish, writes Miss Mary A.
MoHoy, A. NJ, Phi. D., of the College
of Saint Teresa, Winona, in America. F"
A curious inability to see things in a
proper light seems to affect the minds
of the Catholic laity. A justification
for inactivity is clumsily sought by
placing the responsibility for initiative
on other shoulders. The idea of in
diyidual responsibility, of individual
loyalty in each ones fighting the
Church's cause in his own virile,
though mayhap small way, in resent
ing insult toward the Church as a
child would resent an insult done his
mother-an apostolic ideal that should
be the glory of the Catholic layman
is not in evidence sixteen million
strong. In the present wave of anti
Catholic bigotry, prominent Catholics
may be counted by the score who
withhold their support from local
leaders because, forsooth, to be identi-
fed with those who protest against
gratuitous insult in pulpit and press
would be to injure trade or business.
To gain few dollars the flood OF
vilification and slaRder is allowed to
spread like a tidal wave, unchecked.
Others again, with cringing, apologetic
serviIity, have fears for their social

THE MAKER OF THE MAN
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
James c. Nolan.)

The man who made the bird-like aero
plane,
That of our swift procession leads the
van,
Might be excused if he grew somewhat
vain
Of his great head which had evolved
the plan.
His friends, his close of kin, aye, all
his clan
Will, wide-eyed, tell you of his won
drous brain;
But what about the Maker of the
man?
Marconi,- may his prestige never
Wane,-
Marconi made it possible to fan
News-nubbins from across the track
less main,
And scientists would dearly love to
scan
Tho working works which bade him
say Il can"
Yet that they know would surely be
insane;
But what about the Maker of the
man?
And Burbank, to botanic lore what
gain
Since first his wondrous wizardry be-
gan!
In fruit and flower is known his pre-
mier strain
From California to Kurdistan;
Why yes, indeed, from Beersheba to
Dan
His fame is great, such heights doth
he attain:
But what about the Maker of the
man?
Masters, less shock than parts the
silllen skein,
Snaps life-cords,-of a sudden ends the
span;
The spark of genius never flames
again;
But what about the Maker of the
Man?

AUSTRALIAN PRELATE DEAD
ABBOT TORRES, o. S. g., WAS A
FAMOUS MISSIONARY.

Mgr. Torres, 0. S. B., of the Cas-
sinese Congregation of Primitive OBJ
servance, Abbot Nullius of New Nor
cia, West Australia, and Apostolic
Administrator of the Vicariate of Kim
berley, died on October 20.
The deceased prelate was Titular
Bishop of Doryleum, and was born in
Ivizza, Balearic Islands. He had done
a great missionary work in West
Australia. 1t was he who founded, a
little more than six years ago, the
Drysdale River Mission, after voy-
age of terrible trials and adventures,
amid tribe of natives, whose tradi-
tional customs made death the fate of
any who trespassed on their shores.
1t was people from the mission he
founded, two Fathers and six lay
brothers, that met their fate of mar
tyrdom only a. few months ago.

PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGN
st. Paul, November 7th, 1914.

Dear Sir:
"The Public Health Placard' and
"The Syllabus of Public Health Teach
ing" prepared by 'The Minnesota
Public Health Association" deserves
high commendation They excel in
choice of subject-matter and no less in
clearness and precision of statement.
Those who are interested in the physi-
cal health of the communicated who
is it that should not be so interested?
owe to THE Association" earnest
thanks for this further evidence of de-
voted and intelligent serviceableness,
and should be glad to lend aid to the
task it has given to itself of securing
to these timely leaflets widespread
distribution.
You tell me you are willing and
ready to send copies of the "Placard"
and of the Syllabus" to the directors
OF Catholic parish-schools and colleges
throughout the whole State of Mime
sofa, with the hope that they will be
put to good use among teachers and
pupils. | must praise THE Minnesota
Public Health Association" for this
token Of courtesy and goodwill.
I am sure the directors of our
Catholic schools and colleges will be
pleased to receive the leaflets and to
hearken attentively to the cOunsels
and prescriptions of which they are
the bearers. 1t is the marked prac-
tice in our Catholic schools and insti-
tutions to give careful attention to the
physical health of pupils and inmates.
Respectfully,
JOHN IRELAND.

CAT THOL|CS IN SERV|A
ABOUT 5000 IN ALL, MOSTLY
FoREicNERs-oNE CATHOLIC
CHURCH IN THE COUNTRY.

After Russia, Servia is the most
intolerant of the countries of Europe
toward the Catholic Church. There
are but 5000 Catholics in Servia and
these are mostly foreigners residing
in Belgrade and Nisch. There is but
one Catholic church in the whole coun-
try and that is located at Nisch, and
dates from Turkish days.
At Belgrade, through there are
5000 Catholics, the government has
never permitted the erection of
church. The hatred of the Servians
for the Catholic Albanians is shown
by the fact that during the recent
war in the Balkans, out of 10000 AL
banians who perished by the sword
only 5000 died on the field of battle
Just before the declaration of war
between Austria and Servia, which
precipitated the present European
conflict, the Holy Father had con-
had to do with the erection of Catho-
lie diocese in Servia and the protection
of her Catholic subjects, especially
those Albanians who came under
Servian domination as result of the
Balkan war. In 1890 Servia was con-
stituted diocese by the Holy See, at
the request of the government, but
it has never been founded, as the
authorities refused to keep the prom
ises made on the subject.
What effect the present conflict
will have upon this Concordat it is
impossible to foresee, but if Servia
is victorious it is probable that the
Catholics of the country will be in
harder straits than ever, at least for
a time. Austria being Catholic
country, the Servians will naturally
look upon every Catholic as an
enemy and will act accordingly, for
it is a notorious historical fact that
a country's attitude toward any relig-
ion is largely coiored by political
prejudice.

VISITING NURSE APPOINTED
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
OF DUBUQUE PLACES MISS
CANNON IN CHARGE OF ITS
SOCIAL WORK.

At a recent meeing OF the st. Vim
cent de Paul Society Of Dubuque, it
was announced that the society would
establish a visiting nurse department
in connection with the regular work
of the society.
The work of the society has grown
so within the past few years that the
necessity of a visiting nurse has been
felt for some time. The broad lines
on which the work is carried extends
into the field of social service, a de-
partment that of necessity must have
at it's head some one particularly fit
ted for this line of endeavor. L. F.
Metz as president of particular coun-
Gil appointed Miss Marie B. Cannon
to take charge of the work The ap-
pointment met with the appreciation
Of all the members and is of general
interest throughout the city. Her ex-
tensive newspaper and magazine
work, in connection with her thor
ough training at Mercy Hospital, fits
Miss Cannon admirably for the posi-
ton. She is a close student of social
conditions ana brings to her new
work a broad sympathy and under
standing of humanity's needs.
Miss Cannon assumed active charge
of her new office on November /.
In establishing this new branch of
philanthropic work, st. Vincent de
Paul Society is following the lead of
the society in many other cities.
Archbishop Keane has given his
hearty approval to the plan and all
that will aid and further it's work of
mercy.

The Feis, or musical and literary en-.
tertainment, given in the Knights of
Columbus Hall, on Friday evening, No
vember 6, was a distinct success. Mr.
{. ID. O'Brien was an efficient chair
man, and under his skillful and genial
guidance everything passed off smooth
ly. In his Introductory address, Mr..
OBrien said that the Irish, as a rule,
do not know as much about their coun-
try as they ought, and that they do
not take the same pains to get the
world interested in Ireland and the
Irish, as the Scotch and the English
do FOR their own countries.
I.r. MacCollum gave an account of
the work that is being done in ireland
to collect, preserve, develop and per-
petuate the literary and musical tradi-
tions of the Gael. He told of students
in their hours of leisure, and often
after the days work is done, going
with notebook among the peasantry
in the West and taking down the
songs, stories, prayers and hymns, that
have come down from the time when
Ireland was the cradle of Saints, the
civilization. One of those students
took down from the oral recitation of
an illiterate old woman, a beautiful
hymn in honor of the Sacred Heart,
which was afterwards found in writ
ten form in manuscript in Dublin
library, and which was proved to have
been written by the famous Irish poet
and Abbot O'Daly in the fourteenth
century. Countless versions are to be
had of the epics and lyrics that
formed the basis of MACPHERSON S
"Ossian." The old people can still
tell in Irish the tale that won fame in
Spanish drama under the title of "St.
Patricks Purgatory" and they know
also the sad old stories that were
woven into the texture of Dante's
Divine Comedy" and Sponsors
''Faery Queen" and which have in
spired most of the great English poets
from Chaucer to Shakespeare and
from Shakespeare to Tennyson. All
this has been treated by Matthew
Arnold, by DR.. Sigerson and DR.. Hyde,
as well as by host of French and
German scholars. Mr.. MacCollum was
able to do no more than barely refer to
it, and to the aim of the Gaelic League
to use all this splendid national in
heritance as an inspiration and
foundation for future progress.
Mr.. MacCollum also told of the
wealth of Irish music, of the thousands
of beautiful airs, still unknown to the
general public even in Ireland, of the
efforts that are being made to pre-
serve and to popularize this native
treasure of music, and of the success
that gradually rewards these efforts.
The Irish had songs and airs for every
occasion and for every phase of hui
man emotion. 1t is true, as Mr.. Mac
Collum pointed out, that the songs of
sadness were very numerous, owing
to the wrongs of the past; but in the
darkest days there was music of cour-
age and hope, of simple-hearted merri-
ment and rejoicing in Gods good gift
of life in Erin. Mr.. MacCollum illus
trated his remarks by singing
snatches of the old lullabies, lamenta-
tions, war songs and songs of sport,

CHAIN LETTERS.
Their Awful Possibilities From q
Mathematical Standpoint,

Their Awful Possibilities From a
Mathematical Standpoint.
About a score Of years ago, a man
named Griffin, mayor of d small
| town in New South Wales, Aus
trala, started chain letter in the
name of his daughter, with the idea
of endowinS Il hospital with the pro-
cccds. The plan was to construct a
$50 link chain by Miss Griffin writ
ing to three of her friends and ask
ing them to send her ten used post
age stamps, and also asking them
each to write to three Of their
friends to do the same.
The idea was eventually to sell
the cancelled stamps received to a
stamp dca ler for resale to collectors
and to use the money thus gained
for the hospital. The first three
recipients numbered their letters
No. /, the second nine numbered
theirs No. 2, the third twenty-scvcn
numbered theirs No. 3 and so on.
With the one hundred and eightieth
multiple the chain was automatical-
ly to cease.
But the originator evidently went
into the matter without who'll y con-
sidcring the results of this arithmet-
icaI progression. AS the scheme
went into effect it gradually came
to the notice of people all over the
world. In 1905 an article in the
London Spectator, by some one who
had figured up the possibilities,
claimed to show that there would
not he enough writing paper in the
world to supply he letters by the
time the one hundred and eighticth
series was reached. 1t figured that
up to the twentieth link the number
OF letters would amount to over
5000, 900 and that there would
not he enough stamps in the world
TO complete the thirticth link.
However. the GrlIlins received
over 100000 letters. Until 1902,
the letters were opened by Miss
Griffin. her father and his employ
ees, and The contents sold to dealers
and the proceeds turned over to the
st. Georges Cottage hospital, near
Sydney, New South Wales. At last
the letters became too numerous for
them to handle. The postollice was
overburdencd, in spite OF many ad-
ditlonal clerks just to handle this
mail. SiNty-live mail bags full Of
letters had to be stored in a base
ment unopened, although the post
office department was crippled for
want Of mail bags. This lot was
sold just as it came, unopened, to a
stamp dealer for about S275, and
later sold by him in quantities of
100 and 1000 letters to collectors
in Australia and the United States.
