STRINGENT plvoRcE eILL,

Excitement reigned in the Senate of
the United States when Senator Rand
sell of Louisiana told that august body
that the States of the Union granted
over twice as many divorces as the
remainder Of Christendom combined
and introduced bill which would pro-
hibit forever divorces from re-marry-
ing in the United States or any place
under its jurisdiction. An amendment
to the constitution is proposed by Sem
ator Randsell regarding uniform mar
riage laws, allowing separation in GER
tain cases, but denying permission to
remarry.
Senator Randsell declared that the
time had come to put down this men,
ace to marriage and the home, which
he claimed were the chief bulwark of
society and the model on which all
wise governments were founded.
This strong position taken by the
senator from Louisiana is both defensi.
BILE and timely. Not long since Sen
ator Tillman attacked the preva-
lance of divorce in modern society and
praised the position of the Catholic
church on marriage and divorce.
The opening of parliament next
week finds all parties anxiously and
most expectantly awaiting every move

Feb. 9Th, at o'clock. The subject is
a most vital one. The address is most
timely, as thinking men recognize the
danger to public morals under present
unwholesome conditions if not cor.
rected by public demand.
The individual virtues of the peopIe
are strong and luminous,-but individ-

betterment, for social morality. AS
Lincoln Steffens has said in his "Bos-
ton Book - "The great task of the
present is to infect the minds of the
whole community with social vision. !"
The Hibernians with an object similar
to>this in mind seek to arouse in them.

Father Reardon's great lecture s"rhe
Catholic Church and the American

been deep student of the liquor prob

Catholics have been reminded on the
Feast of Candelmas Day that there
should be in all Catholic homes sup
ply of blessed candles. No one knows
when they may have use for them. 1t
Is most awkward and embarrassing for
a priest and for the mistress of the
home to be without candles when the
sacraments are to be administered in
the home, and they find it necessary to
send to the home of some more
thoughtful neighbor to supply the
want.

The trouble arising between Able
Jules Tenure and Archbishop Lille has
reached an acute stage.
The Able was suspended some time
ago by the Archbishop because of his
actions in the French Chamber of Dep.
uties in which he was deputy speaker.
The latest report is to the effect that
the Able was refused communion when
he presented himself at the altar rail
in the st. Elois church at Halebrauck,
France. Iut
The history of those too closely al
lied with the work of the French Cham
Der Of Deputies is not creditable to
the majority of them so far as Catholic
ity is concerned. This is especially
true of those who espouse to be lead
ers of the various factions.

and in compliance with the wish of the
parents of her new associates, the
Saint agreed to found religious resi-.
dence for herself and them in the vi.
cinity. A convenient site having been
fixed upon by the Bishop, a convent,
the first in ireland, was erected upon
It,; and in obedience to the prelate
Bridgid assumed the superiority. Her
reputation for sanctity became greater
every day; and in proportion as it was
diffused throughout the country the
number of candidates for admission in
to the new monastery increased. The
Bishops of ireland, soon perceiving the
important advantages which their re-
spective dioceses would derive from
similar foundations, persuaded the
young and sanity abbess to visit differ
ent parts of the kingdom, and, as an
opportunity offered, introduce into each
one the establishment of her institute.
In the ninth century, the country be-
ing desolated by the Danes, the re-
mains of st. Bridgid were removed in
order to secure them from irreverence;
and, being transferred to Downfall
rick, were deposited in the same grave
with those of the glorious st. Patrick.
Their bodies, together with that of St.
COLUMBIA, were translated afterwards
to the cathedral of the same city, but
their monument was destroyed in the
reign of King Henry VIII. The head
of st. Bridgid is now kept in the
church of the Jesuits at Lisbon.

the successful ones in the battle for

for conjecture at this time. The

uncertainty. Who will win? is now
