5UTTERMILK VS.. BOOZE.

In Topeka, Kansas, within five
blocks on one street there are fifteen
buttermilk stores. 1t is said this one
street from end to end dispenses one
thousand gallons of buttermilk day,
but no booze. With all this drinking
of buttermilk the police records of the
city do not show single arrest caused
by swigging buttermilk, neither can a
case of poverty or insanity be traced
to that source. The people of Topeka
seem perfectly content to use butter
milk instead of beer and whiskey, and
this is why the liquor gang is bowling.

A good story is told of Sir Wilfrid

Many of our contemporaries, in
their report of the first consistory
held by Pope Benedict XIV on
September 8, declared that Car
dinal Csernock, Primate of Hun
gary, one Of the four Cardinals
on whom the Pope bestowed the
Red Hat, was a new addition to
the Sacred College. Our readers
will recall that this prelate was
created and proclaimed Cardinal
by Pope Plus x in the Consistory
held last May, the same Consistory
at which the present Pope was
raised to the Cardinalate.

CEMETERY SUNDAY.

In accordance with the custom
in vogue for several years in the
Archdiocese of st. Paul, next
Sunday, the third Sunday of the
month of September, is dedicated
to the remembrance Of the dead
under the name Of Cemetery Sun
day." On the afternoon of that day
the pastors and people of the diff
ferent parishes will repair to their
respective cemeteries and hold
appropriate services for the re-
pose Of the souls of those who are
buried there. A sermon dealing
with some phase of the Church s
teaching in regard to the here
after will form part Of the pro-
gram.
The setting apart of one day in
the year. for the general assem-
blage of the faithful at the burial
places of their loved ones serves
to emphasize in a special manner
the Church s solicitude for the
souls in Purgatory and to recall
to the minds Of her children the
obligation of praying for them
which religion and Christian char
ity impose. This custom serves
to keep green the memory of
those who, having passed through
the valley Of the shadow of death,
rest in Goods acre" in the hope
of a blessed Immortality.
Few, if any, ever forget their
dead completely. The ties of hui
man nature are too strong to be
completely sundered at the por-
tails of death, and even those who
do not believe in life beyond the
grave seldom allow the memory
of their departed ones to lapse
into oblivion. The voice of ma
ture ever rises from the ashes of
the tomb and demands hearing
When we add to this the teach
ing Of revelation, we make remem-
brance Of the dead a sacred duty
incumbent upon the living. This
obligation extends to all the de-
parted and not merely to rela-
tives and friends. The bond Of
Christian charity unites us to all
who have gone before with the
sign Of faith, whether bound to us
by the ties of kindred or not and
requires that we be mindful Of
their spiritual necessities in our
prayers and good works.
Cemetery Sunday, therefore,
makes special appeal to all the
faithful for prayers for the poor
souls in Purgatory. They should
not fail to take advantage of it
and in this public manner pay
their respects to the dead. This
is the primary purpose of setting
apart a special day for a visit to
the cemetery. But it has another
purpose, namely, to emphasize the
care which should be taken Of
our cemeteries. Those who are
mindful of the dead in their
prayers will seldom neglect the
last resting place Of their loved
ones. The grass on grave and
plot should be carefully trimmed
and everything unsightly or un-
becoming removed. A neat, we'll
kept grave-lot is a public declara-
ton of loyalty to the dead on the
part of surviving relatives. There
is nothing more painful than to
see graves or cemeteries over
grown with grass and weeds and
showing evidence Of neglect on
the part of parish and people.
Cemetery Sunday is reminder to
the careless; and any neglect in
this regard should be remedied
as speedily as possible in order
that there may be nothing to Of
fend good taste when the faith
full gather in their respective
cemeteries next Sunday to offer
the tribute of their prayers for
the souls Of the faithful departed

A teacher in the Fosston, Mimi,

when the war broke out, gave an
interview in the Minneapolis
Journal in which she says that
she was at the Vatican on the
day the Pope died. According
to her, the Pope ''passed away
about 2 P. NJ, but the public
knew nothing of it until the next
morning." Of course, being a

RELIGIOUS Revival IN FRANCE
CAUSED BY THE WAR-CHURCHE
THRONGED WITH PEOPLE
PRAYING FOR VCTORY-2,000
PRIESTS SERVING IN THE
ARMY.

A special dispatch to 'The Sun"
New York;, from Paris, under date
of September 5, says:
"The war has brought about great
religious revival in Paris. Hundreds
of women. are to be seen attending
early morning Masses offered on be-
half of the absent ones. More candles
are now burned before the statues in
the churches then ever before seen.
'The great Church of Sacre Occur,
on the hill of Montmartre, is thronged
day and night, as also are the Church
of Notre Dame des Victories, with it's
famous altar of the Madonna of Vic
tories adorned with all kinds of
swords and medals as votive offerings,
and the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
MANY priests have abandoned the
cassock for the uniform Of a soldier
Already the cure of Notre Dame de
Plaisance has laid, down his life on

Nun"

Priests in the Army.

The Paris correspondent of the
London Catholic Times" says that
there were now about two thousand
French priests serving in the army.
''The law that was issued out of
hatred to the Church will therefore re,
suit in the soldiers being brought into
touch more easily with her Sacra-
ments. All the soldier-priests have
permission to administer the Sacra-
ments during the campaign, and the
three hundred and thirty-seven priests
belonging to the Diocese of Paris car
ried with them a small vial containing
the Holy Oils to be used if required.
Many Jesuit novices and novices of
other orders have joined the army;
among the former is the well-known
airman, M. Castillion de st. Victor,
who entered the Jesuit novitiate at
Canterbury some months ago, and who
has now been sent to active service.
"The soldier-priests so far make an
excellent impressions; company of
reservists' arrived the other day at
a frontier town, among them group
of priests who, as yet, had not been
able to don their uniform. They i'm
mediately tucked up their black skirts,
drew up their sleeves and set to work
watering the horses with gay good
humor that won the sympathy of their
comrades.

Bishops Spirited Exhortation.

"Monsignor Touchet, the Bishop of
Orleans, has addressed spirited cir
cular to the priests from his diocese
who are leaving He recommends
courage, discipline, cordially toward
their comrades and fidelity to the
priestly spirit. Let your daily life,'
he adds, be a living sermon Say
Mass when and where you can, even
after having been engaged in battle.
You are exempted from the Breviary
by the Pope, but you have your rosary
and you will say it every day.
You know that all soldiers on active
service may be considered in danger
of death. You have power to absolve,
to give Extreme Unction. Remember,
too, that some soldiers may be unbap-
TIED He reminds them also that
many unbelievers will judge the
Church by the attitude of her minis
tiers. BE convinced that, up to GER
tain point, you hold in your hands the
future of religion in our country"

The Religious Revival.

"Monsignor Baudrillart, rector Of
the Catholic University of Paris, gives
a vivid picture of the Catholic revival
that is so striking a feature of the
France of today. He tells how dur
ing the mobilization confessions were
heard in the street, in the railway
wagons, in the courts of barracks.
Yesterday, priest in military uni
form was stopped by a soldier: You
are cure ?'-'Yes'-an then and
there, on the place Maubert,' a con-
fession was made and absOlution
given. In out-of-the-way country par
ishes, where religion seemed dead, the
once empty church is now filled and
there are more than fifty Communions
week; in many villages the women
left at home spontaneously propose to
recite the rosary in common every
evening before the Tabernacle for the
success of the French and their allies.
''The 18th of August was celebrated
in a frontier village by Mass, cele-
brated in the open street. A brigade
of infantry and hussar regiment
were present. Close by were traces
of recent fghting-burnt haystacks
and ruined homesteads. In the dis
lance were the Vosges Mountains,
whose blue line appeals so strongly
to the French soldier of today After
Mass the priest turned round and said !:
I wish to say word to the officers
and soldiers present. You are every
day exposed to death and must be
ready to appear before God. We are
pressed for time and | cannot hear
the confession of each one. Make an
act of contrition and l will give abso-
luton to all those who make the Sign
of the Cross Every hand was raised
and the grave Latin words echoed
whilst the heads of the soldiers were
bowed.

Duplica ton.

In my statement to the commission
said concerning duplication OF effort in
Vermont colleges Provision may be
made in connection with any appropria-
ton that it shall not become effective I'M
less the institution concerned abandons
all duplication of effort which is adjudged
by the board to be the proper and legiti-
mate phere OF any other institution
The educational commission in conform
ity with that suggestion makes it a con
dition that we abandon certain engineer
ing work which is considered as duplica
ton. II seems to me that il will be wise
for Middlebury college to accept that
condition. and | shall so advise our trus
tees at the next opportunity.
If any practical suggestions can be
made looking to closer utilization OF
Vermont colleges, we will welcome them
cordially and in a patriotic spirit. We
ask only to be allowed to do our part in
the educational service of the state, and
to have il officially recognized.
