SPECIAL CEREMONY WHEN CROSS
is PLACED ON THE DOME
ROOF coMPLETED-co CONTRACT
FOR CEILING LET-SETTING OF
CATHEDRAL IMPROVED.

The finishing touches are being put
upon the dome and roof of the new
Cathedral and before many days the
exterior will be completed. The steel
framework of the roof with inset til
ing has been placed in position and
covered with copper. All that re-
mains to be done is to complete the
roof of the dome and raise the cross
to it's topmost point, 280 feet above
the main floor. When the cross is
placed in position it will rise twenty
feet higher. Owing to delay in ship
ping the cross it is impossible to fin
ish the roofing of the dome because
an opening must be left through which
the. cross will be hoisted to it's pedes-
tai
The raising of the cross and the
fastening of it on the pinnacle of
the dome will be made the occasion
of a special ceremony to which all
who are interested in the progress of
the new Cathedral will be invited.
The ceremony will be similar to that
which took place when the large
granite cross was placed on the apex
of the facade. Due notice of the
event will be given so that all who
wish may be present to view the final
act in the completion of the exterior
of the new Cathedral.
1t is worth while to visit the Cathe-
dral and drink in the beauty of the
structure. It looms large on the brow

PSALM XXXIV.
JUDIcA, DONNIE, NocENTEs ME.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes HieIscher.)

Judge those, Oh Lord, who do me
wrong,
Be with me on the battle field,
Come to my aid with sword and
shield,
Shut up the passes of the strong.
The foe confound, Thou art my hope,
Drive them as dust before the wind,
Thine angel pressing on behind,
In slippery darkness let them grope.
For they have laid snare for me,
But let them fall into the net
Their malice for my feet have set,
And my soul shall rejoice in Thee.
My very bones shall sing Thy praise,
Who from the clutches Of the strong
Hast snatched the poor whom they
would wrong,
And given the weak the victory.
False witnesses their snares have
laid,
They asked me things did not know,
And evil wrought for my soul's woe,
In penarce did seek Thine aid.
In fasts fought my spirits pride,
My prayers were said within my
heart,

AS one who takes neighbor's part,
Or sorrows by brothers side.
So was l humbled, but the foes
Together came, the scourge was laid
Upon me whom they had betrayed,
And their deceit l did not know.
They tempted me with scoff and jeer,
And gnashed their teeth at me in
hate,
When wilt Thou save me from my
fate?
The foe, as lions whelps, fear.
Within church I'll give Thee praise,
Thy deeds to strong people sing,
Let not the foe, rejoicing, fling
Their SCOTS at me and go their ways.
They speak the things they do not
mean,
In secret winking with the eyes,
They evil in their hearts devise,
And cry tbs thus, for we have seen."
Lord, Thou. hast seen, wilt Thou de-
part?
Oh rise and listen to my cry,
Give not the foe the victory,
Judge me according to my heart.
Let them not triumph over me,
But let them be ashamed and blush,
Who in my sorrow would me crush,
Confusion let their raiment be.
But we will raise our voice in song,
Who in Thy justice have our pride,
And say "The Lord be magniied,"
Our tongues shall praise Thee all day
long. ER

FRENCH BISHOP DECORATED
INSIGNIA OF THE LEGION OF
HONOR CONFERRED ON MGR.
HAGIAR, BISHOP OF LEBANON,
BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

The French Government has con-
ferred the insignia of officer of the
Legion of Honor on Monsignor Hagiar,
late Bishop of Hauran, and now Bishop
of Sidon in the Lebanon. He has re-
ceived this distinction on account of
his devotion to the Christians of the
Lebanon, and his zeal in spreading
French influence in Syria. This dis
trict of Lebanon is the most populous
part of the Turkish Empire, Constan-
tinople excepted. The insignia was
not presented by the French Consul at
Beyrout, but was brought to the
Bishop by the French cruiser, La
touche Treville, whose commander,
Marcot de st. Marie, was specially
commissioned to decorate this great
Catholic Frenchman at Beyrout.

LDEATH OF MGR. KENNEDY

studied philosophy at All Hallow's Col
lege, and theology at st. Lazare in
Paris, and at st. Vincent's, Castle
knock, Ireland At the completion of
his theological course he came to st.
Paul and was ordained in the Cathe-
dral on March 80, 1869, by the Right
Reverend Bishop Grace. Immediately
after his ordination he was appointed
pastor of the Sacred Heart Church in
Belle Plaine, where he has since re-
sided
In early days Belle Plaine was the
center of missionary activity for all
the surrounding country and Father
Kennedy 1ninistered to the spiritual
needs of the Catholics in what is now
the parishes of LIE Sueur, ST. Thomas,
Assumption and ST. Johns. He was
a good type of missionary priest and
travelled about from place to place say
ing Mass, administering the Sacra-
ments, attending the sick, building
churches and, in general, caring for
the spiritual well-being of the scat
tered Catholics of a territory in which
there are now several fiourishing par
ishes.
His pastorate in one parish ex-
tended over longer period than that
of any other priest in the Archdiocese
of st. Paul or, indeed, throughout the
Northwest. Belle Plaine was his first
and only parish and for more than
forty-five years he devoted himself to
his pastoral duties in that locality. In
fact, he baptized and married nearly all
the people in the parish. He built the
Church of the Sacred Heart and the
pastoral residence. In recognition Of
his long and devoted service he was
made Domestic Prelate by His Holi-
ness Pope Plus X, in May, 1906, and
received the insignia of the Office from
the Most Reverend Archbishop.

TWELVE NEW CARDINALS

Among the new Cardinals the best
known on this side of the Atlantic are
the Most Reverend L. N. Begin, Arch
bishop of Quebec, Canada, and the
Right Reverend Abbot Gasquet, Presi-
dent of the English Benedictines and
head of the Commission for the Revi-
sion of the Vulgate.
The Abbot Casquet has visited the
United States on several occasions and
few years ago gave number of lee
lures in st. Paul. Last year he came
to the United States in the interests
of his special work and delivered sew
eral lectures in the Eastern States but
owing to ill health, had to cut short
his lecture tour. He is a recognized
authority on that portion of English
history dealing with the Reformation
and has written number of impor-
tant books on that subject. During
the past seven years he has been en-
gagged in experimenting the work of
revising the Vulgate, the official Cath
olic Bible, and it is, no doubt, in recog-
milton of his labors in this line that he
has been honored by the Holy Father.
Archbishop Begin was born at Lewis,
in the province of Quebec, in 1910. For
many years after his ordination he
was professor in Laval University. In
1888 he was consecrated Bishop Of
Chicoutimi where he remained until
1891, when he was appointed Coadju-
tor to Cardinal Taschereau of Quebec,
whom he succeeded on April IL, 1898.
He will be the second Cardinal to oc-
cupy the primatial see of Canada.
Mgr. Lega, Dean of the Sacred Trib-
unal of the Rota, was a member of
the suite which accompanied His Emf
nence Cardinal Vannutelli to the Eu-
charistic Congress in Montreal and to
st. Paul and other places in the Unit
ed States.
The creation and proclamation of
these twelve cardinals at the coming
consistory will bring the membership
of the Sacred College up to sixty-five in
addition to the Cardinal reserved Tin
petto' at the consistory of November,
1912. The full quota of cardinals is
seventy, but the number is seldom at
tanned.

CATHOLICS IN CHINA
NUMBER f,509,944 AN INCREASE
OF 1886 OVER THAT OF
LAST YEAR.

The latest Catholic census for China
shows total Catholic population of
1,509,944 (Katholische Missioner, pub
lished by Herder, p. 1867. Last year
this figure was stated as 1,431, 1858.
The increase is therefore 1856. In
reality it is even more, because some
of the vicariates apostolic here kept
the figures of 1912 or even those OF
1911 and 1910. The increase would
be something like So per 1000. The
Chinese Catholics have 81 bishops,
1923 European and TAG Chinese
priests to minister to them. The cate
chumens are not registered in 13 mis-
sions. The total Of the remaining
vicariates is 43S,O98.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE NEGRO

out last year, the prelates of the
Church who issued it thus sum up the
position in ante-bellum days: "Our
opportunity to evangelize the Negroes
of this country dated from emancipa-
tion, for in slavery they followed the
religion of their masters and these
were commonly non-Catholics."
In addition to this, the Rev. John
E. Burke, who once characterized him.
self as a "colored man who has turn
ed white in the service of the Ne
groes," in a paper read before the
first American Catholic Missionary
Congress, stated: Outside of Mary
land and parts of Louisiana where the
original settlers were Catholics, our
religion never gained solid footing
in the slave states. Before
the war the Catholic whites of the
South lived for the most part in the
cities and larger towns. Hence it is
there that the Catholic colored people
are mostly to be found. They may be
seen in every Catholic congregation of
the South. Their spiritual needs are
cared for. Anyone who knows the
Southern priesthood will not be sur
prised at this for they are educated
and pious men. We are not to forget
that it is to them and to their pred
ecessors, as we'll as to the conscien-
tious masters of ante-bellum days that
we owe it that there are any colored

The Emancipated Negro.
The Negro being free and the
Church at liberty to approach him un'
restrained by the former iniquitous
provisions of state laws, the Catholic
hierarchy assembled in council in this
city in the year 1866 gave special at.
tention to plans for winning the eman
cipated people. "a beginning of the
actual work was made when Doctor
O'Connor gave up his Bishops throne
in Pittsburgh to labor as Jesuit in q
Negro parish in Baltimore" Shortly
after, in 1871, Father Vaughan of Eng
land, who died as Cardinal Archbishop
of Westminster, visited America and
i
tried to arouse enthusiasm for the
conversion of the Negro race. AS 9
result, seven American students vol
unteered to enter Mill Hill Missionary
College in London to prepare them
selves for their great Apostolate an6
four young priests already trained fol
the work were put in charge of st
Francis Xavier's of this city, which
was already the home of large col
ored congregation. The work of this
missionary society increased so rapid
ly and their missions we're so success
full that in 1892 the society in Americs
was made Independent of the paren
body and was established with head
quarters in Baltimore. Today the
Josephites, according to the latest re
ports, have 10 theological students

into the Church in 1913, 3,484 children
are being taught in Catholic school:

ored, are engaged in teaching and il

Maryland Missionaries.

Nine years after Peter Claver began
his work in the mart of Cathegena,
the first slave trader unburdened it's
cargo of human chattel at a port not
so far away from this city. The
British were then the masters of this
littoral and any student of history
knows what chances were afforded the
Catholic missionary for evangelistic
purposes. Circumscribed and perse-
cuted the impoverished missionary
was hampered in every respect. Still
colored Catholics in the Diocese of
Baltimore today constitute magnif-
cent testimony to the zeal of those
Apostolic men who, in spite of the
difficulties they encountered, we're able
to SOW the seed of faith among the
slaves of fair Maryland and to nur-
ture it to the maturity to which it
has attained at the present time. And
let it be remembered that whilst in
the days preceding and following the
Revolution the sects were in the as
cendant, and were wrangling among
IACAuOS1NOO anu Win SAO 0AcSfO AOAA-
ers as to the expediency of making
Christians of the slaves, the Catholic
missionary with the divine command
as his guide was set in his purpose
and ever steadfast in the performance
of his one and only duty in that re-
gard. And did / say that Catholic
missionaries were prosecuted? Nay
more, even Catholic Negroes, in addi-
tion to the burden which the color of
their skin imposed upon them, had to
brave the suspicion and ire of those
who considered them as Catholic in
struments of Rome for carrying out
her nefarious designs on this conti-
nent.
