REV. SCHENCK in his sermon at
the M. E. church Sunday evening
hit the keynote of true Christianity
when he made the statement that
the man who shaped his life
through fear of punishment after
death was no true Christian and
urged his hearers to live right to-
day, tomorrow and all the time ac-
cording to Christian (not religious)
standards and the after life would
take care of itself. Too many melo-
dramatic death-bed repentances are
the order of the day and the fear of
hell is too prominent. A little
more Christianity injected into the
average religious denomination
would help matters at present and
the man of true spirit would not
fear to pass over the divide, besides
he would be doing something to
help his neighbor, which is the
highest branch of Christianity.
Live for the benefit of the live
ones. Today is the day. Tomor-
row will take care of itself.

up our minds to increasing budgets
and urged rather a study of fair
taxation so the burdens might be
equitable. He made his share of
recommendations for spending
more money.
Governor Van SAINT in 1901
started with the adjuration, Il
urge you to practice the strictest
economy and the most careful in
vestigation of every appropriation"
He suggested at the same time
more money for drainage, more
money for the university and the
schools, new forestry system, a
state system of good roads.
Two years later in addition to
the urgency of economy, he spoke
of the unsatisfed needs of the
game and fish commission, the
public examiner, the state superin-
tendent, the forestry board, the
tuberculosis commission, the state
capitol, the Vicksburg Memorial,
and the publishers who had spent
$4,000 for the session laws with
out legislative authority.
Van SAINTS final recommends
tions on leaving were for a new
prison site, a separate training
school for girls, an increased ap-
propr!ation for timber trepass
cases, more money for the drainage
commission, more money for the
fish and game commission, a new
appropriation for Burnside forest.
Governor johnson thought they
ought to go slow. The auditor S
estimate leaves a very narrow mar
gin unless they should increase
the tax levy-"a situation that
should be met with great deal of
care"
He was careful to recommend
only an increase for the depart
ment of education, special counsel
for the tresspass cases, a drainage
system, bureau of mines, more
money for the insurance depart
ment, separate school for girls,
a liberal policy for the agricultural
school and the food and dairy de-
partment, a more adequate system
than the forest wardens, an ex-
tended field for the public examin-
er.
Go slow, has been the motto of
nearly every message in the last
twenty years. And never a place
where any one of them showed the
Legislature where to cut down ex-
penses.
With that sort of advice from the
sort of men it respects, what is a
poor legislature to do? The
answer may be found in the rising
roll of appropriations.

WILLIAM BRUNSCHMID, editor
of Narodni Vestnik, the paper pub
1ished in Duluth and in which
many of the Slavonic residents of
the ranges are interested in writing
to the open Court column of
the Duluth Herald, had the follow
ing to say, among other things, Of
the foreign born and education:
There are in Duluth and in St.
Louis county about 2S, 900 Sloven-
ians and Croatians who are being
wrongly called Austrians. There
is no Austrian dictionary, no Aus
trian grammar, hence no Austrian
language, and no Austrian nation
we have only been subjects of Aus
tria against our will. By this rea-
son we feel offended by being call
ed Austrians- us Slovenians.
Our immigrants are as good
physical and mental stock as the
much German. The Ger
man was able to develop in peace
behind the bulwark of these Aus
trian Slavs, who were, like their
Balkan brethren, fighting the savage
Turk for centuries. They had no
chance to civilize, to go to school;
their mostly used tool was arms for
the defense of their fatherland.
The oppression of Habsburg, in
stigated by Hohenzollern, is not
much milder and beneficial. How
in the world can one expect better
people under such adverse circum-
stances? Our old country is o. K. ,
but our manager, Habsburg, is
poor, and this is the cause that
thousands of our people flee to the
shores of the United States.
Here they are harnessed in the
hardest and most dangerous occu-
pations. Yet, they do not kick as
a rule. They are thrifty, they
have money, they have wants like
the English-speaking citizen. They
have establish in the last six years
around Duluth, Slovenian farming
colonies that are on a par with any
farming colony of recent years. In
the woods around Greaney, St.
Louis county, in the woods around
Fairchild and Rib Lake, Wis, are
Slovenian settlers by the hundred.
Greaney alone has above 200 SLOW
enian farms. They stay where
others get discouraged. Give them
roads and you will have flourish
ing colony of Slovenians in your
vicinity that will number 1000
souls.
As to education, give our men
and women in industrial centers a
chance to learn English. Our
paper reaches almost any Slovenian
home in St. Louis county and
thousands throughout this republic.
Our columns are open; use them
for teaching. Duluth should have

The last page in the annals of the
venerable edifice on the corner of
Sixth and ST. Peter Streets, which for
the past fifty-six years served as the
Cathedral of st. Paul, was written on
Monday morning, August 81. The
final scene in it's religious history was
witnessed when the Most Reverend
Archbishop pontificated at the Solemn
High Mass of Requiem-the last sacri-
fical rite within it's hallowed walls.
The religious ceremonies which
marked the passing away Of the old
Cathedral as house of worship were
impressive and inspiring. They were
attended by the remnant of the pio-
neers of early days who saw it's foun-
dation laid in 1856, by larger num-
Der of the generation succeeding them,
who saw the Cathedral parish grow
from a handful of Catholics to its
present generous proportions, as well
as by the members of the present con-
gregation to whom it speaks of the
zeal and self-sacriicing generosity of
their forefathers in the faith.
Seldom in it's history have aisle and
nave and every available bit of space
within the old Cathedral been thronged
as on last Sunday morning when the
first of the special services planned to
mark the close of it's historic career
took place at eleven o'clock. In the
front seats space was reserved for
the pioneer settlers of all creeds and
nationalities who witnessed the laying
of the cornerstone on July 27 1856.

the Right Reverend Bishop Lawler
were present in the sanctuary. The
sermon was preached by Bishop Law
Ter, who has been pastor of the Cathe-
dral for eighteen years. Elsewhere in
this issue will be found extracts from
his sermon. The services were brought
to close with Solemn Benediction of
the Most Blessed Sacrament. The
seating capacity of the sacred edifice
was overtaxed to accommodate the
congregation present on this occasion
On Monday morning at 10 o'clock
the last Mass in the old Cathedral
was celebrated by the Most Reverend
Archbishop Ireland. 1t was a Solemn
Requiem for the happy repose of the
souls of all who, at any time during
the past fifty-siX years, worshipped in
the old Cathedral. The Most Reyer-
end Archbishop was assisted by the
following officers of the Mass: arch
priest, Rev. A. Ogulin; deacon, Rev.
w. A. DAILY; subdeacon, Rev. L. P.
Gleason; deacons of honor, Rev. T. A.
Welch and Rev. w. Busch; master of
ceremonies, Rev. A. Ziskovsky. The
following prelates were present dur
ing the service: Most Reverend Arch
bishop Keane, Bishop O'Gorman, Bish-
op McGolrick and Bishop Lawler. The
sermon was preached by the Most
Reverend Archbishop Ireland. In the
afternoon the Blessed Sacrament was
removed from the old Cathedral and
later on it was stripped of the affairs,
organ, and furnishings and turned
over to the wreckers who, during the
week, began the work of demolition
to make room for a new business
structure.
On Monday the Right Reverend
Bishop Lawler and the priests of the
Cathedral parish moved to their new
homes on Selby and Dayton Avenues
in the rear of the new Cathedral
Soon after their departure the old
Cathedral residence yielded to the
onward march of progress and before
many days have elapsed nothing will
remain to indicate to the passerby the
location of the old Cathedral save a
void in the heart of the city.

FINAL ERVICES IN THEOLDCATHEDRA FST.PAUL
Impressive Ceremonies Mark the Passing Away Religious Landmark
in the City of St Paul

About two-thirds of the one hundred
had been secured through the efforts
of Mr. William O'Gorman, one of their
number, were present in response to
the invitations sent them. Surround
ing them on all sides in aisles, side
sanctuary, and gallery, were men and
women of more recent days who came
to participate in an event of more
than passing interest, not only to the
members of the Cathedral parish, but
to the Catholic people and, indeed, to
the whole population of st. Paul.
Many prelates had assembled to do
honor to the occasion-among them
the Most Reverend James J. Keane,
Archbishop of Dubuque;. the Right
Reverend Thomas O'Gorman, Bishop
of Sioux Falls; Right Reverend James
McGolrick, Bishop of Duluth, and the
Right Reverend James Trobec, Ad-
ministrator of the Diocese of st. Cloud
all of whom, together with the Most
Reverend Archbishop and the Right
Reverend Bishop Lawler, were present
in the sanctuary during the Solemn
Pontifcal Mass celebrated by Bishop
O'Gorman of Sioux Falls. The follow
ing priests took part in the ceremony:
archpriest, Rev. James Donahoe; dea-
con, Rev. w. A. DAILY; subdeacon, Rev.
L. P. Gleason, all of the Cathedral
parish; master of ceremonies, Rev.. A.
Ziskovsky, of st. Paul Seminary. The
Most Reverend Archbishop was at
tended at the throne by the Rev. w.
W. Finley and the Rev. T. A. WEIGH.
The sermon, preached }by the Most
Reverend Archbishop, is published
elsewhere on this page. The Cathedral
choir had charge of the singing.
In the evening the flight Reverend
Bishop McGolrick of Duluth officiated
at Pontifcal Vespers, assisted by the
Rev. J. M. Reardon as archpriest, Rev.
w. A. Daily as deacon, Rev. t. F.

All "good gifts All! His protection,
His high favor or we fail,
For unless God keep the city,
Mans best work cannot avail.
Ever doth the jealous bishop
Ponder in his heart of hearts
The divine command to fold them,-
Fold in one the scattered parts.
Sanity Loras, then, as Patrick,
AS Augustine did of old,
AS Saint Remy, Bonifacius,
Dared all ills, the sheep to fold.
His great prototype, whose preaching
Is the staple of the world,
Was in truth his daily model,
When Christ's banner he unfurled.
The Apostle to the Gentiles
Periled oft on sea, on land,
Had in Loras a successor
Worthy the divine command.
Teach all nations s"-and the perils :?
Dauntless Loras faced them all;
Do we wonder Father Galtier
Named the struggling place "St
Paul.?
Was he prescient, this grave Black
Robe,
Did he as a prophet see
That in years which span lifetime,
From the womb of destiny,
Should come forth a noble city,
Stretching leagues into the west,
Log-hewn chapel-vast Cathedral
Seated on the hills high crest?
Ravoux,-then in life's young man
hood
Yesterday we saw his face
Stamped with sainthood, on the altar,
In the busy market place.
His long life, the life of thousands
Of the sons of sunny France;
Valiant priests of God who rocked not
Time nor place nor circumstance.
Loras, Galtier, Rayoux, Cretin,-
These the brush-heap clearings made
And, o well-beloved city,
Firmly thy foundations laid.
Daily as the cabin-chapel
Wreathed its smoke toward the sky,
You, fair city, we're committed
To the care OF the Most High.

His Eminence Cardinal Giacomo
(James) Della Chiesa, Archbishop of
Bologna, was elected Pope of Rome
on September 3, 1914, in succession to
the late Pope Plus X. The new Pope
took the name of Benedict XIV.
The Conc1ave at which he was
elected was a short one. The mem
bers of the Sacred College of Car.
dinals entered the Conclave on Mon.
day evening, August 81, and the cleo
tion of the new Pope took place the
following Thursday morning.
His Holiness Benedict XIV was born
at Genoa on November II, 1854, and
ordained a priest on December Fl
1878. He attracted the attention oi
the late Cardinal Rampolla who, wher
appointed Nuncio to Spain, took Della
Chiesa with him as secretary. Wher
Cardinal Rampolla became Secretary
of State to Pope Leo XIII in 1887, Del
la Chiesa was given a position in his
Office and later on became Under Sec
retary, position which he occupied
at the time Leo XIII died On thu
accession of Pope Plus K to the
Throne of Peter, Della Chiesa retained
for time his position under the
new Secretary of State, His Eminenct
Cardinal Merry del Val. In 1907 hi
was appointed Archbishop of Bologna
He was created and proclaimed Car
dinal by Pope Plus x at the Consistory
held last May.
The new Pope is comparatively 9
young prelate to be raised to the dig
nifty of Supreme Pontiff of the Catho
lie Church, as he will not celebrate
his sixtieth birthday until the twenty

NEW POPE ELECTED
Cardinal Della Chiesa Succeeds Pope Plus X
Takes the Name of Benedict XIV.

first of next November, He enjoys
vigorous health and has had great ex-
perience in the administration of the
affairs of the Holy See, owing to his
position as Under Secretary of State
under Cardinal Rampolla, who de-
pended in no small degree upon his
judgment and ability, and left much
of the administrative work to him.
Pope Leo XIII cherished him with
very particular friendship.
While the Holy See always moves
along the same general lines and fol.
lows the same general principles in
the administration of It's affairs, never
theless a shade of difference may be
discovered in the policies pursued by
the different Popes. In this sense it
may be said that Pope Benedict XIV
will, to a certain degree at least, favor
the policy of Leo XIII and Cardinal
Rampolla. He resembles more the
great Leo XIII in his statesmanlike
grasp of affairs than did the late Pope
Plus x, and it is fortunate that such
is the case in these troublous times
when the peace of Europe is disturbed
and readjustment in the political
world must necessarily take place.
The new Pope took the name of
! Benedict XV-a silent compliment, no
doubt, to the great Leo XIII, whose
name he probably deemed too great
to assume on his accession to the
Throne of Peter. Since Benedict XIV
ruled the Church from 1740 to 1853,
ten Popes have occupied the Chair of
Peter, namely, Clement XIII, Clement
XIV, Plus VI, Plus VII, Leo XII,
Plus VIII, Gregory XVI, Plus k. Leo
XIII and Plus X.
The selection of Benedict XIV as
Pope of Rome will no doubt be pleas
ing to the world at large. 1t will be
heralded with joy and gladness by his
faithful Catholic subjects who recog-
nize in him worthy link in the great
chain of Supreme Pontiffs which binds
the Church Of the present to the
Church of apostolic days.

the new Pontiff, who has just been
raised to the highest dignity, may not
forget that he is mortal and that the
honors of this life are but for a day,
he is met by cleric who holds staff
surmounted by a tuft of fax. This is
set on fire; the flames flares up for a
moment and goes out-and the Pope
hears the solemn words: ''Pater san
cite, sic transit gloria mundi'' "Ho1y
Father, thus passeth away the glory of
the world"
The Mass of the Coronation is then
begun, and during it the new Pope is
blessed by three Cardinals, each of
whom utters prayer for him. The
coronation itself takes place after the

Mass, usually in the lofty balcony of
ST. Peters, overlooking the great
piazza or enclosure. The Pope has
hitherto worn the mitre of Bishop,
and this is replaced by the tiara or
triple crown, with the words: Receive
the tiara adorned with three crowns,
and know that thou are Father of
princes and kings, Ruler of the World,
Vicar of our Saviour Jesus Christ"
This papal crown, in its present
triple form, originated about the year
1865; and, according to some, it signi-
fies the supreme authority of the Pope
in spiritual things, his government of
the Church considered as human So
ciety. and his temporal power.

written Catholic Bulletin by James c. Noan)

Old Cathedral! With the morrow
Comes the enginery of doom,
And the ground whereon thou stand
est,
Shall be swept as by broom.
The onrushing flood of progress,
Whose advance men may not stay,
In it's mighty current grips thee,
And thou must be borne away.
Master-fashioned lines of beauty,
Vaulted ceiling, towering dome,
Were not thine; yet deep thy sharing
In the hallowed joys of home.
Here before thine ancient affairs,
Vows that bless the home were said;
Here baptized to God our children,
Here the requiem for our dead.
Old Cathedral! In thy precincts,
Life's ideals we're lifted high,
Due to thee, yon cross, cloud-piercing
Points its message to the sky.
Due to thee that love upbuilded
Yonder hilltop crowning shrine,
Fittest sanctuary giving
That Great Presence long, long thine
But, today, the proud exulting
In our noble granite fame
Needs be tempered-such our weak
ness
With the touch of human pain.
Pitiful the smallness of it,
This scant remnant aged and grey,
Of the happy throng that gathered
To acclaim thy natal day.
Old Cathedral! At thy passing,
Retrospection knocks amain;
Shall not they whose faith uprearet
thee,
In remembrance live again?
As the mind reviews the ages,
What a narrow space appears
The long span that parts us from
them,
These eyentful three score years.
Yet the changes; tent and tepee
Housed the sturdy pioneer
OF that restless tide of empire,
Whose remotest waves broke here
Flotsam, jetsam,- strange admixture
From the nations of the earth;
Savage. stands with cultured savant,
Minnesota, at thy birth.
