there is no release for those who en-
ter that abode of torment. 8. There
is only one mediator in the fullest
sense of the word and that mediator
is Christ Who satisfied Gods justice
for the sins of humanity. There are
many mediators in less strict sense
of the word Thus, for instance, the
Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph, or any of
the Saints, may be called mediators,
not because they have any power of
themselves to satisfy God for sins
committed against Him, but because
the goodness of God permits them to
pray for sinners and obtain for them
the grace of God. In this sense they
may be called mediators but, as Holy
Scripture says: "A mediator is of
one" Christ is essentially media
tor between sinful man and the all
holy God. f. The reason is given in
the second book of Machabees, twelfth
chapter, in which we are told that,
cit is holy and wholesome thought
to pray for the dead, that they may
be loosed from their sins" Since, as
already pointed out, there is such a
place as Purgatory where some souls
suffer for a time before being admit
ted to heaven, it follows that we can,
by our prayers and good works,
through the mercy of God, assist them
and help to shorten their time of pur-
CATION and suffering. The custom of
praying for the dead is a necessary
consequence of belief in Purgatory.

dan; Thomas Starkle, pastor of st.
Joseph's Church, Devils Lake, and
Martin Kenel, chaplain of st. Alexius
Hospital.
The blessing of the stone was ac-
companied by a well-arranged program
of speeches by public officials, music
by the Bismarck band and singing by
the children of st. Mary's school.
Bishop Wehrle spoke of the religious
significance of the occasion, the noble
purpose of the new structure and the
difference between mere philanthropic
work of charity. He was followed by
Hon. E. A. Williams of Bismarck, as
representative of Hon. L. B. Hanna,
governor of the state of North Dakota,
who, to his greatest regret, was I'M
avoidably absent on European trip.
Governor Hanna takes the greatest in
terest in the new enterprise and fur
nished the ornamental trowel to be
used in laying the stone, and showed
his good will in many other ways. He
also left a personal letter with Mr.
Williams to be read on the occasion
lance of the new institution and the
good work the Benedictine Sisters had
done in Bismarck and the surround
ing country. The letter contained spe-
cial good wishes and congratulations
for Sister Boniface, who has been in
charge of the hospital since 1891. Mr..
Williams himself made some appro-
pirate remarks about the work of the
Benedictine Sisters in hospital and
school since their advent in Bismarck
early in 1878. He said, whilst the ma
terial cornerstone was laid now, the
Benedictine Sisters was laid over 1900
years ago in far-away Italy, on the
celebrated Monte Casino, where St.
Benedict and his sanity sister, St.
Scholastica, laid deep and firm the
foundations of the Benedictine Order.
fruit Of that first cornerstone laying
on the blessed mount.
The chaplain of the hospital closed
with expressions of thanks to all pres
ent invoking Gods blessing on the
Sisters and their worthy Prioress,
Mother Cecilia of the Motherhouse in
ST. Joseph, Mimi, on the generous
benefactors and patrons, on the future
active workers in the new house, and
wished the builders God-speed so that
the structure might be finished with
out flaw and blemish as soon as ex-
pected. A copy of The Catholic Bull
letin was placed in the box inclosed
in the cornerstone

Confirmation Of a few adults fol-
lowed, including a convert ninety-tw0
years old who was baptized q few
weeks ago. After luncheon, at a great
meeting, the Right Reverend Bishop
was formally invited by Chief Steve
Glover to membership into the Courtes
Oreilles band of Chippewas. His
speech was received with hearty
and unanimous How! How! (Yes!
YesD whereupon in great flash of
oratory, Chief O-zha-ko-wash-gi-jik well
coined the Bishop into the tribe off,
cially, comforting upon him the high
sounding name of Min-wa-wa-gi-jik
(Heaven-sounding Leader). The Bishop
responded in touching speech which
was duly interpreted by Mr.. Ira
Isham, tribal interpreter. The Indians
then presented him with two gifts, one
to be given to His Holiness, Plus x, the
other for himself Bishop Koudelka
then gave each Indian a packet
of smoking tobacco and a pipe.
The Indians all joined in rousing
war-dance, closing the formal part of
the adoption. The festivities continued
two days longer, although Bishop
Koudelka was obliged to leave shortly
afterwards to continue his Conf1rma-
ton and Visitation tour.
The 1914 Corpus Christi celebration
will go down in the annals of the
tribe as the most successful in
the eighteen years of it's cele-
bration on the Reserve. The Indians,
however, will not be content until they
have the honor of entertaining the
representative of the Vicar of Christ
himself, the Apostolic Delegate, Arch
bishop Bonzano Plans will go for
ward looking to his participation in
this solemn and unique event of the
Church in Wisconsin.
Among those present on this occa-
occasion was the. Rev. P. B. Gordon, a
member of the Chippewa tribe, who is
pastor of the parish of Hayward, Wis
He was ordained few months ago at
Superior and is a graduate of the Col
lege of St. Thomas and of the st. Paul
Seminary.

THE TEST OF HIGHER EDUCA-
TON.

ment of mankind. Such education
must be false, wherever the fault may
be, and we must be brave enough at
any cost to call it what it is-a heap
of pretensions. At times we see the
young and fiourishing sapling stand
ing side by side with the old oak dead
and riven by the thunder-bolt. Are
these to be the types of the young
man, whom God puts into the world
radiant with hope, and of the old
man about to leave the world, blight
ed by modern thought? Gentlemen,
it must not be; it can not be.
1t cannot be the province of edu-
cation to replace normal human be-
ings with another set of men as I'M
feeling as the pitiless stone. 1t can
not be the province of education by
retiring God and substituting an i'm
personal law to make of this world
of stern realities a mere theatrical
show, and to make of it's students de-
spairing spectators of the would-be,
empty tragedy of life. 1t cannot be
the province of education by teach
luS VI CAO WILLY " vi
up the fountains of noble impulse and
lofty endeavor,-the love of God, of
country, of fellow men, and to make
utility the sole measure of action or
of inaction, of right or of wrong. FL
nally, it cannot be the Office of educa-
ton to take away the living, vivify-
ing and divinely inspiring Christ,
and to substitute mere man, perfect
as Greek statue, lifeless and cold as
the marble of which statues are made.
Such an education is given in certain
quarters abroad and imported into
certain quarters at home. 1t is not a
standard of excellence but rather the
badge of servility to foreign cult
Know it and mark it. You know the
dangerous wire by its snaps, it's Kisses
and it's flashes. You may know the
dangerous educator by his mutterings
against God and the religious sense
of the people.
No! There can be nothing in true
education to segregate the educated
man from the deepest natural convic-
lions and the fondest yearnings of the
masses. Education and common sense
are not like Romeo and Juliet, "star-
crossed" lovers, hopelessly divided by
the hostilities of their houses. AS long
as there are a Shakespeare and a
Dante in literature, a Newton and an
Ampere in science, Pasteur in biol
ogy, a Gladstone in craftsmanship, a
Charles O'Connor in law, not to men,
ton living representatives of the
highest learning and of the deep
est human feeling, we may know that
education and common sense need
not be put asunder. See to it, then,
young men, that in the pursuit of
learning you adopt no principles that
would paralyze your religious sense,
or distort your moral vision. See to
it that while you adorn your minds,
you retain all the warmth and tender
ness, all the golden yearnings of the
human heart and that you remain
ever the brethren of your fellow-men.
Let not one faculty be abnormally de-
veloped while the others are afro
phied or mummified. But may it be
said truly of each one of you going
forth from the portals of your Alma
Mater, or some day returning enriched
with all the treasures of knowledge:
Here is one,
ION whom every god did seem to set
his seal,
To give the world assurance of a
man.
