Church Growth in Paris.-Between
1902 and 1906 the population of Paris
grew from 100000 to 3,S00,000; the
of parishes was only increased
from 125 to 14S, and that of the priests
from 422 to 765. The inhabitants had
five-fold, but the number
of priests had not been doubled, and
only % parishes had been added to
those which existed more than a cen
fury before. Henry Bordeaux points
out that the Separation Law in depriv-
ing the Church of it's patrimony occa-
stoned more vigorous growth by leav-
ing the Church more free and more
avid to spread it's spirit. The popula-
ton of Paris is today 4,150,000 souls,
the number of it's parishes 173, and
of it's priests S72. Since the promulga
ton of the Separation Law-that is to
say, in eight years-25 parishes have
been created and more than 100 priests
have reinforced the ranks of the

London's Night CEubs.-The Catholic
Herald of London, England, says:
The outcry against the spread of night
clubs in London and their evasion of
the licensing laws is likely to result
In further closing of these places or
in the supervision of them by the
police The St.;oPancras magistrates
have petitioned the Home Office stat
ing that ''the incalculable harm
wrought by these unlicensed houses is
a matter of common knowledge" and
asking that they shall be placed under
the same restrictions and supervision
as far as practicable, as licensed
houses. FIR. Vaughan has begun a

topics dealt with is the night club
menace.
Joan of Arcs Canonization.-The
Sacred Congregation of Rites has
completed another step in the canOni-
zation of Joan of Arc. Her beatitica
ton took place eight years ago, but

scented to the Congregation of Rites
to establish that two miracles have
been wrought in the meantime as the
result of her divine intercession. 1t
is the acceptance by the Congregation
of the evidence of these two miracles
that has now been made. This &C
ceptance must later be approved OF
by Pope Plus and when this is done
His Holiness will issue the official
bull of canonization and arrangements
will be made for the ceremony.
