KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AND SOCIAL REFORM

active support. Otherwise, it were
better for us to remain silent.
Perhaps the most practical and rea-
sonable program of social reform
measures and demands that is avail
able anywhere, is that formulated by
the Committee on Standards of Liv-
ing and Labor of the National Con-
ference of Charities and Corrections
1t will be found in full, together with
other very useful matter, in Bulletin
No. 3 of the Social Service Commits
sion of the American Federation of
Catholic Societies, published by the
Secretary, Rev. Peter E. Dietz, at 500
Murray avenue, Milwaukee. This pro-
gram describes under the heads of
Wages, Hours, Safety and Health,
Housing, Term of Working Life, and
Compensation or Insurance, certain
standards and demands which repre-
sent the minimum conditions of life
and labor that can safely be permit
ted to exist. Among other things it
demands living wage for all workers,
an eight-hour day for all women and
minors, sanitary and decent homes for
all workingmen's families, industrial
education, the exclusion of women
from unsuitable occupations, and a
comprehensive system of insurance
against accidents, sickness, old age,
and unemployment. On the whole,
this platform of minimums is in
striking conformity with the principles
and proposals contained in Pope Leo's
Encyclical on Labor. 1t does not pre-
tend to embody complete program
or statement of social justice. 1t
merely endeavors to outline the mini
mum, the very lowest, conditions of
labor and living that ought to be toll
Grated. No disinterested and reason
able person will dare to assert that
it is too liberal, or that it contains
any demand that is not necessary to
individual and social welfare. Yet
many years will probably elapse be-
fore all it's provisions have been made
a part of our actual life.

CHAPEL OF THE BLESSED VIR-
GIN WILL BE FURNISHED BY
THE CATHOLIC WOMEN OF THE
DIOCESE, AND THAT OF ST.
PATRICK BY THE IRISH CATHO-
Lies.

AS already announced the Catholic
women of the Archdiocese have been
granted the honor and privilege of
completing the Chapel dedicated to
the Blessed Virgin Mary in the new
Cathedral of st. Paul. The project
has been taken up with great enthus-
iasm and already several large dona-
tions have been received.
At a meeting held on Friday of this
week an organization was effected and
definite plans made for carrying on
the work of securing subscriptions.
Rev. T. J. Gibbons, of the Church of
st. Luke, is Spiritual Director and will
assist the women in their laudable un-
dertaking. 1t is expected that every
Catholic woman in the Archdiocese,
outside the city of Minneapolis, will
contribute her share towards the altar
and furnishings of this chapel as
mark of devotion to the Blessed Vir-
gin and a guarantee of her interest
in the movement to make this chapel
a devotional shrine for the clients Of
the Mother of God. The names of the
donors will be inscribed in perma-
nent volume to be kept in the chapel
and Masses will be said at stated in
tervals for the contributors, whether
living or dead.
The completion of the chapel of ST.
Patrick has been entrusted to the
Irish Catholics of the Archdiocese;
and preliminary steps have already
been taken to insure the success of
the undertaking. The children Of St.
Patrick will see to it that his shrine
is not the least noteworthy, in rich
ness and artistic finish, among those
of the patron saints that surround the
sanctuary of the new Cathedral.
Fuller details regarding the final ar
rangements will be given in our next
issue.
The remaining chapels are those of
st. Peter, st. Paul, st. Boniface, ST.
Remy, IS. Cyril and Methodius,
St. Ansgarius, and st. Angus
tine In time definite arrange
ments will be made for their
completion. It. is expected that the
national chapels will be furnished by
the Catholics of the different nation
alities they represent. The chapels
of st. Peter and of st. Paul afford
generous souls an opportunity to show
their zeal for religion by providing
all that is necessary for their furnish
ing.

NEW Use FOR BILL BOARDS
PICTURE OF THE NATIVITY DIS
PLAYED ON THEM DURING THE
HOLIDAY SEASoN-oRIGINAL
IN NoTRE DAME UNIVERSITY.

Seldom does one find the advertis-
a copy of religious painting used as
poster. Such was the case recently
when the Master Billboard Posters
Association decided to thus cover the
United States and Canada during
the holidays with celebrated paint
ing of the Nativity, the original of
which is treasured by the University
of Notre Dame. 1t is the work of the
Italian artist, Gregori, who spent six
teen years of his life at Notre Dame.
The billposter is copy, the same
size and of like coloring of the orig
inal and in itself is splendid piece
of photographic work.
Gregori, the painter of the scene,
was invited by Rev. Edward Sorin to
come from Rome and decorate the in
terror of the church which was then
new. His task took him about six
of the church as we'll as the corridors
of the administration building are
like SO many art galleries. On the
first floor are the renowned Colum-
bian series and the Bishops Memorial
Hall contains portraits and paint
ings of Popes Gregory XVI, Plus VII,
VIII, TX; and Cardinals McCloskey
and Cheverus and Archbishops Car
roll, Kenrick and Ryan.
But Gregori's greatest painting is
this Nativity scene. 1t was among
his last works at Notre Dame. All
the figures are life size and the feat
ures of the various personages are
traced in wonderful manner. The
color creation is remarkable and
shows the artists great ideas of mas
tering colors. The painting is kept
in special room with several other
art treasures.
The Billboard Posters Association
deserves every commendation for
placing this beautiful picture SO con-
spicuously before the public. 1t is
their intention to post religious pic
ture several times during the year.

PLAY WRITTEN BY A NUN
ELLEN TERRY TAKES PART IN A
PLAY WRITTEN BY A BENEDIC-
SAND YEARS AGO.

A curious old play, "Paphnutius, or
the Conversion of Thais," written by
Hroswitha, a Benedictine nun, who
died in Saxony more than nine hun
dred years ago, has been translated
from the original Latin into English,
and was presented by the Pioneer
Players at Kings Hall, Convent Gar
den, on January II and II.
The plot is similar to the other
versions of ''Thais" seen in America,
but there is much interest in the play
because Ellen Terry appeared as
the Abbess and the Speakers daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Christopher Lowther,
took part in a dance arranged by her
self.

MONK ARTISTS OF LONG AGO
IRISH CRAFTSMEN EXCELLED IN
ARTISTIC WORK-BOOkS OF
KELLs AND ARMAGH UNIQUE
AMONG WORKS OF ART.

Professor Culverwell, of Trinity Col
lege, Dublin, in recent lecture, said
that before the inroads of the Danes
and the English destroyed the splen-
dor of her civilization, not only was
Ireland the foremost in intellectual
development of Christian lands, but
even in the scanty remains which es-
capped destruction there was convinc-
ing evidence of the most superlative
Irish deXterity in the finest of work.
The Books of Kells and Armagh had
never been approached for the deli
cate skill of their tracery.
Referring to the Book of Kells, Pro
fessor Westwood, of Oxford, with all
the skill and knowledge that he had
acquired during fifty years in such
work, wrote that he could not con-
ceive how men could have the eyes
and the tools to do it. Knowing pret-
ty we'll, he added, all the libraries in
Europe where books of the same type
appeared, he could safely affirm that
there was no such book in any of
them. The same authority told them
. that within space of three-eighths of
square inch he counted, with mag
nifying glass, 158 interlacements of a
slender ribbon-pattern, formed of white
| lines edged by black ones. No mod
ern copyist, said Professor Culver
well, with all the advantages of mag
nifying glasses and the finest of steel
| popc oor1d ooh tho yuorL of thncc q
earlier scribes. Examined with a
lens, the firm lines of their tracery
showed no unevenness, such as ap
peared in all modern work. Yet, they
used quill-pens. Where did they find
the skill to cut them to such exquisite
ly fine points? Truly, the nerves
which directed the fingers of these
men must have been far more finely
organized than ours. But it seemed
that the illumination of these books
was nothing uncommon at the time
for, while one of them was praised as
having a remarkably fine binding
nothing was said of the fneness Of
the text itself.
In metal work, and especially in golC
work, and also in leather work, these
early Irish craftsmen greatly excelled
Even if the Tara Brooch, a chance
find on the seashore near Drogheda
were the finest specimen ever made
in Ireland, it proved them to be crafts
men of unequalled skill in their owl
arts. Manual arts were held in higl
esteem. st. Patrick had in his house
hold smiths, braziers and other artists
themselves ecclesiastics, and there
fore highly educated. The chief smitl
was Bishop. The same name, Ollave
was applied to the head of profes
sion and the head of craft.

IDEALS OF CHARITY
"MODERN" AND "ORIGINAL" METH
obs FAMILIAR TO ST. VINCENT
De PAUL.

at is good thing for us, who pride
ourselves on our progressive ideas and
imagine we are 'up-to-date' and twen-
tieth-century men, to discover that
many of our most modern and 'origi-
nal methods both in philanthropy
and church work, were known and in
full swing ESQ years ago, and ema-
mated from the brain of one man, and
that man poor peasant priest of the
French Church"
So writes, and very truly, the Honor
able and Reverend James Adderley in
his popular life of Monsieur Vincent,
known to us as st. Vincent de Paul,
says V. M. Crawford in ideals of
Charity" 1t is, however, no less true
to say that If some pious people could
only be convinced that organization
and method are neither modern" nor
original" they would be less preju-
diced against them; if they could only
be brought to realize that st. Vincent
emphatically condemned casual meth
DDS of relief, and strove to effect
the coordination of philantropic effort
in his day in order that nothing should
be wasted and a greater proportion
of the poor wisely helped, they would
perhaps relinquish their belief that in
discriminate almgiying is somehow a
note of true Catholic charity. Partly
because problems of poverty vary less
from age to age than people are apt
to assume, partly too, because the in
spirations of Saints have way OF
proving maxims of wisdom for all time,
the rules drawn up for his lay workers
by st. Vincent in the early years OF
the seventeenth century are, in all
essentials, as applicable today as they
were then.
