LARGE DIOCESAN COLLECTION
FOR PHILADELPHIA SEMINARY
NEW GYMNASIUM, LIBRARY
AND DoRMIToRY.

The annual report of the Seminary
of st. Charles Borromeo was read on
March 20, in the Cathedral Chapel,
Philadelphia, in presence of an inter
ested gathering, including Archbishop
Prendergast, Bishop McCort, and
many priests.
The Very Rev. DR.. Drumgoole, Rec
tor of the Seminary, announced that
the Diocesan collection for last year
amounted to over $4,000. Last year
217 students were enrolled at the
Seminary as compared with 180 for
the previous year. During 1913, eigh-
teen priests were ordained as against
seventeen the year before.
Many additions have been made to
the Seminary during the past few
years. The splendid gymnasium and
library building erected as memo
rial to Archbishop Ryan gave needed
facilities but furnished no extra room
for students. Last winter the con-
struction of dormitory was begun.
1t has ninety-three rooms and will be
dedicated on May a. It will be known
as st. Edmond's Hall, in honor of the
Most Reverend Archbishop Prender-
CAST.

assurance that, under his direction, re-

THAT MYTHICAL HE'LL
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
James c. NoIan.)

When you've found a pendulum with
a swing
That keeps on going one way;
Never stopping and swinging back,
But on, on, on each day;
When you've found North and never
a South,
An East and never a West,
You'll feel, l think, my logical friend,
An inflated expansion of chest
When you've found high and never
a low,
A narrow and never a wide,
An inside or an innermost,
And-mark you-no outside;
When you've found a shallow and not
a deep,
A long and never a short,
Rejoice, my friend, you are on the
track
OF something of large import.
When you've found a heavy and not
a light,
A slack and never a taut,
Something that lacks its opposite
In the whole wide range of thought
Exult, for your search is ended;
When these you have found, you'll
well,
You'll stand at the gate of a Heaven,
With no swift sluice to He'll.

SCAN DINAvIAN RACES
NEW RELIGIOUS ORDER TO LA
BoR FOR THEIR CONVERSION
TO THE TRUE FAITH.

A new religious. order has received
the sanction of the Pope for the pur-
pose of winning back the Scan
dinavian races to the faith, says the
Sacred Heart Review. The leader of
the movement is a Swedish woman
who has been converted and who
spent many years in Rome among the
Benedictine Sisters, preparing herself
for her work. A special prayer has
been composed to ask the blessing of
God on the work, and the Pope has
granted numerous indulgences for its
recitation. AS the Church appears to
grow weaker in some nomfnally Cath
olic countries, it gains strength in
others that long ago strayed from the
faith.

CIVIL WAR SCARE-INTENSE EX-
CITEMENT THROUGHOUT ENG
LAND OUT THE
TROOPS LATEST PHASE OF
THE HOME RULE SITUATION.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Cecil UnderWood.)

War is in the air. The English
papers are full of it, and while there
are no Hearst Journals here with
flaming headlines, still the great Lon
don dailies are making splendid
display in favour of Mars. They have
been tanning the flame in Ulster for
a long time and now they think the
great confagration is at hand, which
will reduce to ashes all the hopes of
Home Rule for Ireland. And along
with Home Rule the present Liberal
ministry must go, and the hateful Par
lament Act which curbs the House OF
Lords and nullifies the influence OF
the British plutocrat upon the legis,
lative machinery of the Kingdom.
The War Scare.
Thus they have planned and if
events come to pass according to
their wishes, British democracy, as
Lloyd George pointed out in a recent
speech, will have received a blow
from which it must require a century
to recover. Hence, the news-boy is
yelling on the street corner! The
bells are ringing-"sonorous metal
blowing martial sound" Anon some
local band strikes up the national
anthem, and the Oxford yeomen and
the Berkshire braves are seen march
ing away to Aldershot-marching
away under Haunting flags, keeping
time to the wild grand music of war.
1t is refreshing to see some old mole
of Greek or Arabic professor come
out of his cell, adjust his spectacles
and eagerly scan the latest bulletins.
Apropos of the occasion, even your
cool and staid correspondent feels in
clined to open his Byron-"there was
sound of revelry by night"
For war is bred in the blood and
bone of Saxon and Celt; twenty gen
erations of fighting men bear witness
to that intrepid spirit ever ready to
respond to the call of the bugle

THE ULSTER REBELLION

land, as the troops march out of the
principal cities toward the docks and
embark for Ulster.
No Danger of BIoodshed.
Of course no sober-minded person
expects bloodshed. 1t is all a part of
the game of politics. Incipient rebel
lion is the state of Ulster at the
present time, according to a strict
military diagnosis. Ulster ever since
parliament opened has been trying to
browbeat the Liberal Government
And now the government by means
of a grand military and naval display
has turned the tables. The Ulster
Volunteers are overawed, or as the
good old English idiom puts it-"shiv-
ering in their boots" For playing at
war, as little boys play horse, is one
thing; whereas facing the bullets is
quite another. A clever cartoonist re-
presents the Ulster volunteer full of
terror in the act of gazing into John
Bulls loaded musket John has no in
tention of pulling the trigger; he is
merely desirous of putting little
wholesome fear into the heart of the
Ulster truant.
Revival of Religious Bigotry.
The serious feature about the Ulster
trouble is the revival of religious big
otry. 1t was almost dead in the
British Isles until the Ulster agitation
brought to it a new lease of life The
old battle of the Boyne is fought over
again and Irish Protestants and Cath
olics open afresh those deep and pain
full wounds which time had almost
healed After a settlement is reached,
whether through war or diplomacy,
the old bitter feeling now thoroughly
aroused, is bound to assert itself and
breed mischief for many years to
come.
A United Nation.
But the optimist does not despair
Once parliament begins operations
in Dublin, the worst may be said to
be over. For gradually the various
parts of the country will grow to-
gether and be welded into a homo
geneous commonwealth. Commercial
interests alone will secure an abate-
ment of religious bigotry; while the
idea of united nation must meet
with increasing favour, as time goes
by. Patience and self-control are the
virtues needed at this critical moment
when so many seem to be swept off
their feet by the rising tide of war
