HALF MILLION PRAY
FOR YOUTHS SIGHT

New York. Jan. 26.-Half a million
Catholic boys and girls. priests ana
nuns. students in seminaries, in col
leges and universities throughout the
United tSates began yesterday a nine
days prayer for the restoration OF the
sight OF a Jesuit student, Henry J.
Wessling. S. j.. who was made blind
In both eyes several years ago by the
premature explosion OF chemical pre-
paration.
The class IN which Mr.. Wrestling has
been studying. will be presented for
ordination TO Cardinal Gibbons at the
cathedral in Baltimore. next June.
According 20 the laws OF the church,
bishops are not permitted to raise TO
the priesthood candidates who are de-
formed or permanently afflicted in such
a way as to excite attention TO their
infrmities during the performance OF
their clerical duties.
Here is an extract from the appeal
Wessling's classmates have sent TO
Catholic students in universities and
schools all over the country:
Gould We ask you to join us IN
your charity during these nine days?
Our afflicted brother is most worthy of
your assistance. II many voices from
our beloved country rise in novena TO
the great throne OF the merciful God,
we feel confident our wish will be full
filed"

COMING GOVERNMENT
TO BE a KINGDOM

c. E. Stewart, bible student and lee
| turer of Springfield, ILL.,, spoke before
a very intelligent audience Sunday
morning in Maths hall on the topic,
| "Christ's Kingdom on Earth The
Speaker evidently has given the mat
ter considerable thought and had the
closest attention from his audience.
He said in part:
1--WE are living in a time filled with
| restlessness and dissatisfaction. Men
in general are looking forward to- a
better condition than the one in which
we now find ourselves. We see the
evidence of this by the various re-
form parties, the efforts to restrain
those in power from depressing the
weak, the socialistic movement, the
cry of good citizenship, the struggles
on the part of the labor unions, &C.
All of these mark the longings in the
human breast for something better
and the cravings to bring in a happier
time.
"The Prophet Micah tells us that In
the last days the Lord will establish
His kingdom on the earth and that
all nations shall flow unto it, Then
will come the time when nation shall
not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more
Isaiah adds concerning this new gov
eminent, OF the increase of His gov
eminent and OF peace there shall bs
no end The teaching of the SCRIP
lures is that during this time all who
have never had an opportunity of sal
Tation will have such an opportunity
and that those who take advantage OF
it will have the privilege of enjoying
eternally perfect human life under per-
feet earthly conditions.
Now We see that wrong and evfl
are triumphing but the bible tells us
that during Messiah's reign evil doors
will be cut off. The testimony of the
bible is that now ye call the proud
happy. yea they that do wickedness
are set up, yea they that tempt God
are delivered; but not so in that gior-
Ious time when the Lord and His
saints shall reign. Then shall be the
lime when He shall judge the people
With righteousness" and perform the
great work of lifting mankind up 10
luman perfection enjoyed by Father
Adam and restore to them the domtra-
on of earth which was lost at the
line of the fall.''

OF the officers OF the Associated char

ton for whose benefits the charity
bal is being given.
Case CT Destitution.
The Associated Charities workers
ran across a pitifui case last Saturday.
They found a family consisting OF the
mother. father. and married daughter
and her husband with two little chill
dren. without sufficient furniture and
Z adninE and without necessary Cloth
ing. They had no food IN the house.
The wife Is in very precariOus condi-
ton and II is not expected that che
will live long. Indeed. IL was feared
on Saturday last that she would not
live through the night Where they
had made their home the physician
had tOil the husband that the climatic
conditions we're such that his wife
could not long exist and that a change
was absolutely necessary. He scraped
all OF the money he could together,
sold most OF his furniture 70 get more
cash and started out in quest OF a bet
ter climate. They arrived here about
a month ago. Their supply OF cash
was about exhausted and both the
father and the sonia-iaw started out
in quest OF work. They have tramped
the three cities over day after day In
search OF Il. picking up a Job now and
then but nothing permanent. They
had purchased a little furniture on the
installment plan but were unable to
meet the payments and the house
from which they had secured Il had
notified them that they would have to
surrender It. The Associated Char
tiles officials saw the furniture people |
and they generously agreed to let |
them keep the furniture until work |
could be found and their other wants |
we've supported from the associations
neagre stores.
The two little children were without /
shoes and stockings They are now
supplied and will start to school. But
he Associated Charities needs cash.
The charity ball is being given for |
his purpose. Buy n ticket and bring
-our wife or friends.
