The following is from an article in

les, with their statistics compiled for
this year by DIR. Henry K Carroll, as
sociate secretary of the Federal Coun.
Gil of Churches, embraces 169 relig.
ious bodies, large and small, but OF
these perhaps six to eight do not call
themselves Christians or would not
generally be thought of as such. Not
less than $50 claim the Christian
name, and of these $50 denominations
are, Protestant To be sure, many OF
these have only the shadow of name
and are not worth the counting, such
as the Yorker River Brethren, with
only 423 members, and the Old Two

BY decree of August 5, the Holy
Father has indulgenced the following
prayer, which may be said in Latin
or in any faithful translation:
Deliver us, we beseech Thee, o
Lord, from all evils past, present, and
to come; and by the intercession OF
the blessed and glorious Mary ever
virgin, Mother of God, together with
Thy blessed Apostles Peter and Paul,
and Andrew, and all the Saints,
graciously grant peace in our days;
that by the assistance of Thy mercy,
we may be always free from sin, and
secure from all disturbance.
MAY the peace of the Lord be al
ways with us. Lamb of God, who
taketh away the sins of the world,
grant us peace"
To all who recite these prayers an
Indulgence of three hundred days is
granted every time they recite them.
All who reeite them for a month,
may once in the month, gain plen.
airy indulgence, after having confessed
and received the Holy Communion and
prayed for the intention of the Sow

CATHOLIC CENSUS
TAKEN UP THIS WEEK IN Dlo.
cEsE OF CINCINNATI.

The Most Reverend Henry Moeller,
D. D., Archbishop of Cincinnati, Ohio
has ordered a census of every Catho.
lie in his diocese which covers an area
of 1908 square miles. The census
was taken at the same time in every
nook and corner of every parish, on
the four days, October 4, 5, and Z.
The United States census gave the
proportion of Catholics in the city OF
Cincinnati to be about so per cent OF
the city's population, and as the
church census shows only 100000 for
the whole diocese, there is a desire to
learn the reason for the discrepancy.

letter TO The EDITOR
HOW CAN WE FOSTER FREQUENT
AND DAILY COMMUNION?
Augusta, Montana,
Sentember 20. 1915.

Augusta, Montana,
September 80, 1915.
Editor, Catholic Bulletin:
One of the means whereby the wish
Of the late Holy Father Plus X was
to be accomplished, is by frequent and
daily Communion, and that souls might
profit by this most admirable and
salutary habit, it is not necessary to
go to confession every day, but only
once a week, unless, perchance, a poor
soul, llabituated to daily Communion,
should fall into egrieyous sin, which
will not happen ordinarily, from the
very fact that such soul makes use
Of the most powerful weapon against
sin, namely, receiving our Divine
Lord in daily Communion.
The Holy Father pointed out the adj
vantages and the dangers.
The advantages are acquiring the
graces necessary for our state of life,
the edification of our neighbor, the
conformity to Gods will, which is the
touchstone of sanctity, in word, re-
ceiving our Blessed Lord in daily Com
munion is perhaps the greatest means
to growth in holiness.
What are the dangers to be guard
ed against? First, that we do not ap-
preach this Divine banquet out of os-
tentation; second, that we make an
act of contrition before receiving, and
lastly that we be careful to avoid be-
coming functionary and have desire
to advance in virtue.
OF late a thought has occurred to
me, and believing it to be a good one,
hesitate not to make it known to my
fellow servants in Christ, that per.
chance, its custom being established
charity may increase in our hearts
and frequent and daily Communion
may become more universal
When a member of parish dies and
is given all the rites of the church
would it not be well to have all the
members of that parish, offer up their
next Holy Communion for the repose
of that soul? Or, perhaps, better STILL
go to confession and communion extra
for such charitable intention.
1t seems to me that such circum
stances of death would enable pious
souls to advance Gods Kingdom on
earth and very much assist the church
suffering, and lay up for themselves
riches where rust and moth will not
consume.
Very truly,
MAURICE CASEY.

mon day for all. Gradually other
saints besides martyrs began to be
honored in this way, and regular
process of canonization was estab
lished. On May ID, 500 or 610, Pope
Boniface ~ consecrated the Pantheon
of Rome as the Church of the Blessed
Virgin and all the Martyrs. Gregory
III (731,741 consecrated a chapel in
st. Peters Basilica to all the saints
and from this time the feast of All
Saints has been kept in Rome on the
first of November. Pope Gregory Nv
(S27-844) made the celebration of this

Why do we celebrate All Saints
Day?
This feast in the Catholic Church
is of the highest rank, with vigil
and an octave. It is celebrated in
varfably on the first of November to
honor all the saints, known and par

thanks to God fortthe graces and ben

This is done, Pope Urban w declared,

occur during the year in the celebra-
ton of the feasts of the saints, and
also to prompt and encourage us to
initiate their virtues and to obtain
their intercessions with God. In the
first centuries Christians celebrated
the anniversary of martyrs death
at the place of martyTdom In the
fourth century the celebration of these
feasts was extended to neighboring
diocese. The number of martyrs be.
came so great during the persecution

\ Winter Diet to Make Hens Law More EGGS

Recent experiments by those who are COM
petent judges have shown that hens given
walnut kernels three OF four times a week
will lay more eggs than those fed on other
kinds of food.
But like everything else, there is a proper
method Of using this new highly priced food
for laying hens.
In many Of the rural sections walnuts grow
in great abundance, and it is not a difficult
task to gather quite a number in the fall.
They are easily dried sufficiently and stored
for use in the Winter season when fowls have
to be housed. Walnut trees grow rapidly. and

quite a walnut grove, and most places have

Of honor among the jewels that or
namented her crown and sceptre.
That the diamond was highly es-
teemed among precious stones by
the Hebrews in the earliest times is
shown by its position in the breast
plate of the high priest. Its name
in Hebrew is "jahalom," and in all
English translations Of the Bible
that word appears as diamond"
The old Jewish doctors identified il
as the third in the second row Of
stones in the breast-plate. The
stones we're not placed according to
the degree Of their preciOusness, but
each was a tribal symbol, and that
was what established their order on
the breast-plate-
The jewelled setting Of the
b-east-plate is thus described in the
thirty-ninth chapter Of Exodus:
And they set in four rows Of
stones: the first row was a sardius,
a topaz and a carbuncle: this was
the first row.
And the second row, an emerald,
a sapphire and a diamond.
And the third row, a figure, an
agate, and an amethyst.
And the fourth row. a beryl, an
onyx, and a jasper; they were IN
closed in ouches Of gold in their in
clOsings.
And the stones were according to
the names Of the Children of Israel,
twelve, according to their names,
like the engravings Of a signet, every
one with his name. according TO the
twelve tribes"
Thus. practically at the beginning
of Jewish history, and long before
the era Of Solomon and the Queen
of Sheba, the diamond was known
and held high rank among precious
stones.
But owing to its extreme hardness
it had to be used and worn in its
natural state-as is indicated in the
first mention Of It in the literature
of the ancient Greeks. About the
third century B. c. it appears that the
Greeks knew the diamond as
