PERSONALITY OF NEW POPE
BENEDICT XIV AS HE APPEARS TO
ZONE WHO KNOWS HIM."

A writer in the Westminster Ga
zette, quoted by the London Tablet
thus describes the personal character
istics of the new Pope, Benedict XIV:
He is dark-eomplexioned, with a
firm mouth, square forehead, keen
lustrous, brown eyes which miss
nothing, about the ordinary standard
in height, and moves and walks with
great dignity. There is nothing slip
shod about him in style, or dress, or
work. Unlike Plus X, his sanity pred
ecessOr-Who to the end of his days
was a simple, open-handed, parish
priest, who loved gossip with a
peasant far more than a function in
his palace-the present Pope is first
and foremost a thoughtful and highly
gifted man Of affairs, without preju-
d1ces, but man who knows his own
mind. His marvellous memory and
rare gift of sitting grain from chaff,
his charm of manner and melodious
voice, his powers of literary express
sion and of marshalling facts and
arranging them in order of relative
value, have always impressed those
who have had dealings with him in
Madrid, Rome, or Bologna. To these
must be added a dislike of vulgar dis
play or publicity, a love of art and
music, a genuine simplicity of life,
devotion to the interests and work
of the Church which is untiring,
zeal and industry which exacts from
others service not less laborious than
the standard which he vigorously i'm
poses upon himself A stu
dent of human nature and construc-
tive statesman of power, he can yet
adapt himself easily to a fresh envi-
ronment. During his six years of
work at Bologna he was immersed in
diocesan detail, and won the hearts
of his clergy and people by his ready
sympathy with the poor and suffering,
by his judicial fairness, and by his
constant and perpetual wish to i'm
prove the social conditions of his
flock"

ST. ANTHONY SCHOOL

Golrick The Bishop and each of the
priests in turn threw shovelful OF
earth from the spot marked out, and
their example was followed by large
numbers of the laity.
History Of ST. Anthony Parish.
The first Church Of st. Anthony
was built in 1851 when there were but
two other churches in this north
western region-the one at Mendoza
and the little log Cathedral at St. Paul.
Previous to that time Mass had been
said periodically for the people of st.
Anthony's in one Of the pioneer homes
by q priest from the village of st.
Paul.
Reverend Denis Ledon was the first
pastor of the parish He arrived in
July, 1851, and soon had modest
church for his few parishioners. The
next year he opened the first parish
school in small frame structure that
had been used as depot by the fur
traders. 1t also served as home for
the Sisters of st. Joseph who organ
lied the school. In November, 1855,
Father Fayolle took charge of st.
Anthonys parish. Soon the rapidly
growing parish made larger church
necessity and the present Church
of st. Anthony was begun in 1857. 1t
was completed by his successor, Rev.
erend John McDermott, who became
pastor in June, 1860. In November,
1866, Reverend Felix Tissot became
pastor and for twenty years saw the
growth of his parish and it's division
and subdivision into several flourish
| ing parishes of the rising city. One
of the earliest works undertaken by
Father Tissot was the erection of the
stone house facing Ninth Avenue
which served as the parish house un-
til few weeks ago when it was torn
down to make room for the new
school. He also began the building of
the stone school on Second Street
toward the end of his pastorate
Father Tissot was succeeded by his
assistant Reverend James O'Reilly,
who continued to direct the affairs Of
the parish, until he was consecrated
Bishop of Fargo in May, 1910. About
twenty years ago Father O'ReillY

20 God, from Whom are holy de-
sires, wise counsels, and just works,
give unto Thy servants that peace
which the world cannot give; that our
hearts being devoted to the keeping
of Thy commandments, and the fear
of enemies being removed, the times,
by Thy protection, may be peaceful
through Christ, Our Lord, Amen
20 God, Who sufferest not Thy peo
pie, who believe in Thee, to be over
whelmed by any terror, vouchsafe to
receive the prayers and oblations oi
Thy servants that peace being OBJ
tanned by Thy loving kindness, the
Christian territories may be secure
from all hostile attacks"
20 God, the author and lover oi
peace, Whom to know is to love ant
Whom to serve is to reign, protect
Thy supplicants from all hostile in
tents and grant that we who put oul
trust in Thy defense may not fear thu
power of adversaries.''

WHEN WARS SHALL CEASE
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
James c. NoIan.)

1t may be that day shall dawn,
When war, with plume and panoply,
Shall be from earth forever gone,
And lost to human memory;
And no stencil borne to heaven away,
From foulness of stated peace;
Who knows? 'Tis not for me to say
That grueling wars shall never cease.
1t may be that the sun above,
Shall course a sky serenely blue,
The clouds be banished-never more
To pierce that azure mantling through; !;
And sheep and cattle still be fed,
Still shoulder-high shall grow the
grain;
Who knows? I'm sure I never said
That corn and cattle must have rain.
1t may be that the oceans breast,
Shall bottle-smooth forever lie,
And headlong hurl no mighty crest,
'Gainst rocks that loom toward the
sky;
And that from waters putrid grown,
The wholesomest of food shall come;
Who knows? Do dissent alone?
Are all the prophets stricken dumb
To me it seems there well may be,
Despite the sneers of any man,
A mystic cord between the three,
And each part of Gods great plan.
The raging tempest, all men know,
Stirs from it's dormant depths the salt /:
When winds, death-streWing, cease to
blow,
The ocean needs must make default.
What follows? Every germ of life
Of man and beast, of bird that flies
Is vanquished in unequal strife,
In miasmatic vapor dies.
May it not be the salt that God
Hath sifted in the hearts of men,
That makes man other than a clod,-
Needs deepest STRINGS, now. and
+ then?
Ye pulpiteers and prophets preach
Unending peace,-to dwarf our mold
Wars causes lie beyond the reach
OF ironmaster's shoveled gold.
When suns unveiled their heat shall
pour,
When storms no longer rend the
deep,
Then wars shall cease; and man nj
more
Shall waken from his lethal sleep.

L6UVtIN UNIVERSITY
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY OFFERS
ITS ACCOMMODATIONS TO
LOUVAIN.

The senate of Cambridge University
has invited the Catholic University
of Louvain, Belgium, to move to
Cambridge, England, there to continue
it's own separate studies, grant degrees
and generally to pursue its activities
as if at home.
Cambridge University would supply
the technical facilities for carrying out
this work.
Owing to the war the number of
students at Cambridge has been re-
duced for the present, so there would
be ample accommodations for such
students at Louvain as would be able
to avail themselves of the invitation
1t is believed that this is the first
time such hospitality has been offer
ed by one university to another.

SOCIAL SIDE OF CHARITY

| measures, thereby causing the volume
OF distress and the amount of unre-
lieved distress to remain unnecessarily
| large. The exclusively social view
sins by ignoring the claims of the
human beings who are at present suf-
fering, and by wrongly attributing all
distress to social factors. An adequate
view takes into account both indi-
Vidual and social causes, strives to
give each class its due measure of
Importance, and to deal with each
according to the best knowledge and
the most effective methods.
Speaking generally, we may say
that up to a few years ago the in
fluence of social factors in producing
distress had not received sufficient
recognition, but that today the ten
dency among all classes of charity
workers is to lay increasing emphasis
upon those factors. | submit two
instances of this general trend. In
his address as president of the Ma
tional Conference of Charities and
Corrections in 1906, Dr. Edward T.
Devine said: IF | have rightly con-
ceived the dominant idea of the
modern philanthropy, it is embodied
in determination to seek out and to
strike effectively at those organized
forces Of evil, at those particular
causes of intolerable living conditions,
which are beyond the control of the
individuals whom they injure, and
whom they too often destroy" In
volume ii, No. SIT, of his "Theologia
Moralis," Father Tanquerey declares
that, while the traditional seven cor
poral works of mercy are entirely
praiseworthy, present day conditions
have made expedient and even neces-
sary certain social works of charity.
And he puts the word social" in
italics.
Social Causes of Distress.
To what extent, then, do social fac
tors produce poverty or misery, and
by what means may they be most
effectively opposed?
Perhaps the most comprehensive
attempt yet made to analyze and
tabulate the causes of poverty is to
be found in Professor Warmers book,
American Charities 1t took into
account the records of more than 49,
000 cases of distress in Germany, Eng
land, and the United States. AS a
result of his study, Professor Warner
came to the conclusion that some OF
the immediate operating causes were:
in II per cent of the cases, lack of en-
in per cent, insufficiency
of employment; and in four per cent
poorly paid employment. Thus, % per
cent of these instances of want were
due Immediately to employment condi-
tions. While these conditions we're in
many cases due primarily to individual
fault, incapacity, or misfortune, they
were undoubtedly for the most part
social. They point to a bad social
environment rather than to peculiari-
ties in the individual. Again, "a per
cent of the cases were traceable
chiefly to sickness or death in the
family; per cent, to lack of male
support; and 10 per cent, to old age.
These three factors covered az per
cent of the whole number of cases.

LETTER OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP

to compel men and nations to be so
ideally intelligent and righteous, that
discord and war sh Ill not exist. In
His eternal counsels, however, He
has granted free-will to men. They
may, as they choose, turn the gift to
their misery or to their happiness.
Despite the evil, which follows from
the misuse of it, free-will is pre-
cious possession. By means of it the
human soul is the richer, the nobler:
the good it does is it's own: the merit
it earns is the more exalted in value.
Wars cross the pathway of humanity
that are unnecessary, that spring
from injustice: God reproves them,
though permitting their onward
course.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-09-26

But, whatever is the happening, God
| is the Master: His power may at all
times interpose itself in the acts of
men and of nations. War exists: He
may bid it continue, or He may still
quickly it's ravages. His designs are
How incomprehensible are His judg-
ments, and how unsearchab1e His
ways! For who hath known the
mind of the Lord? or who hath been
His counsellor?" This much we know
that His will is wisdom, that His de-
cree is justice To His will we bow
in humble submission, whatever be
our own thoughts or wishes. But this
much, too, we know, that in the rul-
ings of His Providence part is given
to our prayers and supplications.
1t is the Saviour who has taught us
to pray, saying: "Our Father who
art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name; ;
thy Kingdom come; thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven. and
lead us not into. temptation, but de-
liver us from evil" And so we pray
for peace. We pray that, whatever
the divine counsels, mercy temper
justice, that whatever those counsels,
the end soon be attained, and peace
be given. We pray for peace
always, however, in submission to
Gods supreme will, knowing that He
is wiser and more loving than we
ourselves are or can be.
A purpose of Providence in permit
ting war may be to draw us higher
to Himself in humble invocation, to
invite us to confess Him as the Su-
preme Master and Sovereign, the
sole helper in our planuings and do
ings. Men. and ,Haslong are forget
ting God, putting their salvation in
their own devices and powers. Now
He casts them upon those devices
and powers, that they understand
their weakness, and seek strength
where alone it is to be found "And
now, 0 ye Kings, understand: receive
instruction, you that judge the earth,
serve ye the Lord with fear, and re-
joice unto Him with trembling"
A day of prayer by the nation is
blessing to the whole people. 1t
draws them higher to the Throne of
God, there to confess His power and
invoke His mercy. In His own mys-
terious ways, God will hearken to our
invocations. Prayer is never without
avail: blessings always follow in it's
wake-if not one blessing, then some
other. God is the Father: His chill
dren are welcomed to His throne of
omnipotence and love, and thence al
ways they receive their reward.
