cial significance for all members
of the Holy Name Society. They
have banded themselves together
and pledged themselves not to use
the name of Jesus in an irreverent
manner. Wherever this Society is
organized it exercises a good in
fuence on the community. The
men who belong to it honor them
selves by joining and their good
example does much to bring about
more wholesome respect for sa-
cred things. They are a unit in
trying to curb the abominable and
vicious habit Of taking the name
of Jesus in vain by cursing and
blasphemy-a habit which is all
too prevalent in our age. They
show their practical Catholicity
by using the Holy Name Of Jesus
only in a devotional manner.
Let us all acquire the blessed
habit Of often using the Holy
Name of Jesus with reverence dur
ing life, and we shall then feel
no ordinary confidence in pro-
nouncing it for the last time at
the moment of death. We should
render homage to this Sacred
Name, not only out Of gratitude,
but also in order to obey the Eter-
nal Father Who commanded that
at the name Of Jesus every knee
should bow in heaven, on earth,
and in hell.
From this divine command is
derived the most ancient custom
by which the faithful show their
generation for the Holy Name Of
Jesus by bowling their heads as
often as they pronounce it or hear
it pronounced. In 1874, the Sec
ond General Council of Lyons con-
firmed this pious practice. Later
on, Sixtus V granted an indul-
gence of twenty days to those
who, with sentiments Of sincere
contrition, bowed their head when
pronouncing the Holy Name of
Jesus. In 1887, the same Pontiff
granted to all Christians an in
diligence of fifty days as often as
in saluting one another they used
the following formula, either in
Latin or in their own tongue
May Jesus Christ be praised! or
when they answered: Amen, or
For ever! A plenary indulgence
was also granted at the moment of
death to those who, having been
accustomed to invoke the names
of Jesus and Mary, repeated these
names in their heart, if no longer
able to do so with their mouth.
These indulgences were confirmed,
in 1928, by Benedict XIII.

prepared to do their share in the
work of refuting the assertions
of bigotry and upholding the fair
name Of their religion at all haz-
ards. The mere fact that they
are always on guard and ready to
give reason for the faith that
is in them, will do more to re-
strain those who are behind the
present systematized warfare
against the Church than any 9th
err means they can employ. Good
example and fidelity to the high
est ideals of practical Catholicity
cannot fail to turn aside the
shafts of bigotry; and well-di-
gested knowledge Of Christian
Doctrine and Church History,
coupled with a fearlessness in
challenging the assertions of big
OTIS, will do more to enhance the
prestige Of the Church even in the
eyes Of it's critics than a passivity
which counsels patience and for
bearance under the whiplash Of
the enemies Of the Faith.

The students of Trinity College,
Washington, which is under the
direction of the Sisters of Notre
Dame de Namur, have determin-
ed to withdraw their patronage
from any theatre which presents
immodest plays. At a recent
meeting they issued a statement
naming thirty-six immodest the
atrical performances and declared
that they would not patronize any
playhouse presenting them. The
Board Of Regents of the College,
numbering among it's members
many women prominent in Wash
ington society, announced that the
action Of the student body would
be endorsed by them and that
they would lend their influence to
the work of injecting "Chris-
tian standard of morals" into the
atrical performances. This coop
ration will supplement the work
Of the Washington Truth Society
in the theatrical field.

ANOTHER SLANDERER
BAGGED.

On Saturday, January 10, pro-
spective customer whom we shall
call Mr.. Brown, though that is not
his name, entered one Of the larg-
est retail stores in st. Paul to make
a few purchases and was waited
on by the manager of one of the
departments. While Mr.. Brown
was examining the goods the de-
partment manager became quite
friendly, even confidential, and
told him a story rejecting on the
honesty Of a Catholic priest Of
this city. Mr. Brown allowed him
to 60 into details regarding the
transaction which he said took
place in that department. He
maintained that he had investi-
gated the case himself and knew
what he was talking about.
Mr.. Brown, who was entirely
unknown to the manager, happen
ed to be a Catholic and Knight
of Columbus and he at once con-
cluded that the story would bear
investigation. He asked the man.
ager to hold the goods he had pur-
chased until he satisfied himself
in regard to the truth Of the story.
The mere mention Of an investiga-
ton wrought a transformation in
the manager who lost all his cock
sureness about the details with
which he had just professed him
self so familiar. He begged Mr..
Brown to let the matter drop, for
if the. owners of the store knew
he had talked in that way about
any Of their patrons he would
surely lose his position.
Mr.. Brown determined to teach
him lesson and left the store
saying that he would look into
the matter and return later
When he came back in the after
noon he found the department
manager only too glad to save his
head by making. an apology and
signing retraction in which he
expressed sincere regret for hav-
ing made the statement. 1t is
very probable that Mr.. Brown
was not the only person to whom
the department manager had told
the story. Evidently he was
the first to challenge its truth
in such way as to convince the
manager that he was in earnest
and would not allow such an inn
probable charge to go unsub-
stantiated. 1t is safe to say that

THE TRAFFIC IN FRANCE.

The anti-alcoholic congress of
France, called to consider methods Of
checking the evil of alcoholism,
adopted the following resolution:
"That the number of saloons shall be
restricted by law; debts for liquor
sold by the glass shall not be legal;
that the proprietor of saloon shall
be held responsible for crimes COM
mitted by person or persons who
have become intoxicated in his saloon;
that the court shall declare the for
fixture of paternal authority in all
cases where habitual drunkenness
shall have been proved; that projects
shall exercise more frequently the
right conferred upon them by the law
to close saloons" France ranks first
among alcoholic nations, with an an
nual per capita consumption of 4.8 gal
Ions, which is three and half times
that of the United States, and has
saloon for every S3 inhabitants.

Sex Hygiene lectures in the pub

THE AURORA MAS
SECOND MASS ON CHRISTMAS
DAY WAS FORMERLY SAID IN
THE BASILIcA OF ST. ANAS-
TASIA-ANCIENT CUSTOMS.

In Papal times the Mass of the Au-
rora, or Dawn, was celebrated by the
Holy Father in the ancient Basilica of
Saint Anastasia, whose feast is COM
memorated in the second Christmas
Mass. Looking back into those far
distant days, which seem like some
dimlysplendid dream, we can conjure
up that stately procession through the
narrow, dark streets, lit only with the
fiambeaux and torches, in the early
winter morning, sharp with the tang
of frost in the clear air, then the
solemn Papal Mass in the tim little
basilica at the foot of the Imperial
Palatine Hill, the devout crowd out
side the church bearing torches and
waiting for glimpse of the Pontiff-
King, as he came out, and for his
blessing, before the grand procession
returned to the Apostolic Palace.
In later times the first Papal Mass
at Christmas was sung in the Pope's
Cathedral Church, ST. John Lateran,
and the third in ST. Peters, with all
the splendor Of ritual possible, in the
chief church of Christendom, but the
Second Mass of the Dawn was cele-
brated in the Basilica of ST. Anastasia.
An ancient custom prevailed by which
on Christmas night, the Sovereign
Pontiff blessed a ducal cap and sword,
which he presented to any prince
royal who was present, or sent away
to reigning sovereign. If the EN-
peror or any other Sovereign was
present, he read the fifth lesson of the
Christmas Office with drawn sword,
a custom which originated with
Charlemagne who, when at the Au-
rora Mass, sang the gospel with his
sword drawn.
Still more ancient was the custom
by which, on Christmas night, the
Popes blessed the standard of st.
Peter with the crossed keys, sending
it afterwards to sovereigns or princes
who were fighting, or about to fight,
against the enemies of the Church.

HIS DRINK CURE.

A certain Indianapolis lawyer, who
has good practice now, quit drink
ing intOxicants two or three years ago,
and he didn't take the Kelley cure,
either. A German saloonkeeper of
whom the lawyer bought most of his
liquor administered the cure, and it
has been effective
For several years the lawyer had
been buying nearly all of his drinks
at this particular saloon. Finally the
saloonkeeper bought house and lot,
and he employed another lawyer who
never bought drinks to prepare the
abstract and the deed and transact
other business in connection with the
deal. The lawyer who had been the
regular customer heard about it. He
was filled with rage, and he went at
once to demand an explanation.
"Here!" he yelled, as he leaned over
the bar and pointed an accusing finger
at the old German, Il buy all my
drinks here. I have bought all my
drinks here for years. l have spent
hundreds of dollars in this place And
then the very minute you have some
work for lawyer to do you go and
employ someone else. That's what
you do. You go and-and-"

sation, when I got business, | want

walked out, and his friends say he has

From a personal letter received
from a priest Of the Diocese Of
Sioux Falls who has just returned
from Europe, we learn that the
officers Of the Cunard Steamship
Company are experiencing a
change of heart in the treatment
of their Catholic patrons to whom
in the past, they showed little
courtesy in the way of making
provision for Catholic services on
board their ocean liners. The let
ter says that "they intend to
equip their ships with requisites
for Mass" This is good news and
we hope that they will lose no time
in carrying out their intention. 1t
is high time for them to awake to
the necessity of extending to Cath
olics the same courtesy they grant
to Protestants in the matter of
religious services on the high seas.

THE SHIELD AGAINST
ISLANDER.

1t has been we'll said that the
most effective shield against the
shafts of anti-Catholic bigotry is
the exemplary lives of Catholics.
The most powerful weapons which
they can use to rout the enemies
Of the Church who misrepresent
her doctrines and practices and
magnify the mole-hills Of individ-
ual imperfections into mountains
of generalized scandal, are per-
sonal fidelity to her teaching, filial
devotion to her interest, and loyal
obedience to her laws in the af-
fairs Of everyday life. By these
means they can do much to rob
bigotry of it's sting and compel
the admiration Of intelligent and
right-thinking non-Catholics. The
good example Of practical Cath
olics is of inestimable value in
refuting the accusations made
against the Church by bigots who
are ignorant Of her doctrines and
history.
But, effective as good example
is in this warfare against sectarian
malice, something more is neces-
sary. Catholics must strive to be
fit ministers of the Gospel" by
word as we'll as by example. That
is to say, they must be sufficiently
familiar with the teaching Of the
Church and her benefcent infu-
ence on humanity for over two
thousand years to be able to chal-
lenge and refute the misrepresen-
tations of those who would min
imize her activity, misrepresent
her purposes, SANDER her priest
hood and pour out the walls of
their malignity upon the heads of
her devoted children.
For too long a time Catholics
have remained passive under the
scourging Of bigotry. Relying
on the power Of truth and right
they feel that the day of their
ultimate triumph cannot be long
delayed. But they do very little
to hasten the advent of that day
by personal efforts to defend the
Church when she is assailed and
misrepresented. The time has
come for us to realize the neces-
sity of a militant Catholicity that
will allow no falsehood to pass
uncontradicted, no assertion made
by our enemies to pass unchal-
lenged. One does not need to
possess great learning to do this.
The burden Of proof rests upon
those who make the assertions,
and in nine cases out of ten if
they be challenged the proof is
not forthcoming.
The incident recorded else
where on this page shows what
an intelligent Catholic can do to
check the blatant outbursts of in
dividual bigotry. Had this Cath
Ollie lacked the courage to assert
himself and ask for proofs to sub
stantiate the charge made against
a priest who was personally un-
known to him, he would have en-
couraged the further spread of q
Islander. His demand for proof
resulted in a retraction and apol-
ogy. and shows what can be done
by a Catholic who is determined
to defend the Church and her
priesthood whenever and by
whomsoever assailed.
Catholics. therefore, should be

Should Have Large Welcome

The appearance in Birmingham of the Blackfriars of the University of Alabama under the auspices of the United Daughters of the Confectionery this week will be of more than ordi- nary interest, and the young his triones should be greeted by large audience. The Blackfriars have been here more than once before, and their acting was on each occasion highly creditable. But they are in even better form this season and will present one of the standard English comedies in a style worthy of the best professional talent.
 The Daughters of the Confectionery need funds and every purchaser of a ticket at the moderate price of $1 will be helping good cause; but those who know sbout the excellent work of the Blackfriars do not exaggerate when they. say that no lover of dra- matic art can afford to miss the forth coming entertainment.
 Birmingham and the University are joined in strong bonds and they will be all the while growing closer and closer together The community of interest between the two is being distinctly felt now, and the flower of Birmingham society will doubtless be glad to unite with the University alumni in making the appearance of the Blackfriars a brilliant success in every way.

MT. Miller's Retirement

In an annQuncement in another column of this issue of The Age Herald Nathan L. Miller withdraws from the race for Congress, leaving the field open to George Huddleston, who received a plurality of the votes in the primary in the Ninth congress sional district.
 A very large element of the business people of this district will regret very much MT. Miller's announcement. He is lawyer of splendid ability, a man of the highest character and honor and an able man in every sense of the word. He represented Jefferson coun- ty in the state senate with credit and ability. He would have represented this district in Congress as worthy successor to Oscar Underwood
 MT. Miller does not want to add to the turmoil of politics and is modestly unwilling to make the demands on  his friends for time and services which would be necessary to overcome the plurality which one of his opponents secured in the first primary.
 Mir Miller is magnificent worker for his friends and has always been noted for his loyalty. He has, how ever, been too modest in pushing his own claims for recognition Should he ever appear before the public again for office his friends will not con- slider his election foregone conclu- sion, as they did this time, but will get out and work ana win for him. Overconfidence on the part of his friends was the cause of his failure this time.
 MT. Miller out of it, The Age-Her- aid wishes for MT. Huddleston a sue cessful congressional career; that he shall put his shoulder to the wheel, work, study, and, though he be young in years, endeavor to become fitting successor to Oscar Underwood.
