IN CAT HOlIC SPAIN
PUBLIC MANIFESTATION OF DE.
VoTIoN TO THE BLESSED
EUCHARIST.

We have frequently referred to the
wonderful manifestations of honor and
devotion which the Most Holy Sacra-
ment receives here in Catholic Spain.
writes Madrid correspondent Fresh
testimony in this direction is afforded
by the publication of the details of the
costly and magnificent monstrance
which is being made for the Associa-
ton of Nocturnal Alteration. = More
than 5000 of the faithful have con-
tributed in money, jewelry, gold and
silver to the making of this precious
monstrance. The sum collected in
cash amounts to nearly $4,000 pesetas.
Of this amount 1860 given in gold
has been melted, and this, with the
gold jewelry contributed, has left
available for the construction of the
monstrance over liz kilos of gold
(4OO ounces) The silver at the artists
disposal exceeds 25 kilos lover $50
ounces), thanks to the generosity of a
noble family which gave for the pur-
pose the whole of it's silver table
service. The monstrance will be en-
riched with thousands of precious
stones, also donated.
Striking evidence, too, of public
honor and respect to Our Lord i'm the
Eucharist have been Witnessed here
in the streets of Madrid in connection
with administering the Paschal Com
munion to the sick and infirm in their
homes and in the hospitals. The sys-
tenn employed in all the parishes is
the same, and may be described in
general terms. The Blessed Sacra-
ment is borne professionally, the par
ish priest being seated lin most
cases. in one of the gala coaches of
the Royal Family, escorted by picket
of the Kings Infantry, preceded by
the clergy and followed by a numer-
GUS public of high and low degree. In
this way the private houses and the
public institutions are visited and in
the latter case all the authorities con-
nected with the institution are present
and assist at the pious function. The
procession finally returns to the
church, where the parish priest or
other in a few words thanks all who
have assisted in the name of Our
Lord in the Host and of the sick who
have received their Paschal Com
muniOn.

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

i
1t is now reported that the No
bel Peace Prize will not be be-
slowed upon His Holiness Pope
Benedict XIV, because Of the fact
that his name was not proposed to
the committee in due time. The
news is conveyed in the following
despatch from Christiania, Nor
way, under date Of June ID:
President Storthing, of the
Nobel Peace Prize Committee, in
an official statement issued today,
expresses his regret that the Nobel
Peace Prize cannot this year be
awarded to Pope Benedict XIV, as
suggested.
'The statement says that His
Holiness name was not proposed
to the committee in due time"
In view of the extraordinary
conditions prevailing in Europe at
the present time and Of the efforts
put forth by Pope Benedict to
promote the idea of peace and to
ameliorate the condition of dis
abled prisoners of war as well as
non-combatants, the Nobel Peace
Prize committee could well have
overlooked any technical objec-
tions that might be made against
the bestowal of the prize on His
Holiness. Besides, the members of
the committee must have been
well aware of the special efforts
made by the Pope to bring about
a cessation of hostilities and the
formality of having his name pro-
posed could have been dispensed
with. The general public familiar
with what the Holy See has done
to advance the interests Of inter-
national peace will not approve
the decision of the committee in
overlooking the claims of Pope
Benedict XIV. No matter how
worthy, the recipient of the prize
may be of the honor conferred
upon him, it will, nevertheless, re-
main true that Pope Benedict XIV
has been and is today the most
prominent figure among the peace
advocates of the world. The
failure of the committee to recog-
nize his preeminence in this re-
gard will not meet with general
approval.

1t will be news to many readers

the following editorial from it's
pages:
In several Lutheran Church
papers a warning has been sound
ed in regard to the above men
toned well known weekly period

tention is called to the fact that,
while pretending to be a purveyor
of impartial news, also in the

come out as more or less pro-

fact that recently an arch-Roman-
| ist, Cudihy by name, has become
one of the managers of the Digest,
and that, since he has assumed
charge, the Pope and the Papists
have received more than generous
treatment in It's pages. In view of
the fact that there are not a few
Digest readers among our pastors
and laymen, we think it worth
while to pass this warning on.
Personally, the writer has discon-

our opinion, it's nonsensical relig-

called fashionable attire be not

called fashionable attire be not
common in many places in this
country, there is still need for a
word of warning to Catholic
women who are sometimes
tempted to forget what is becom-
ing in this regard and to follow
the dictates of the leaders of
fashion. If such a person were
to approach the Holy Table, the
priest would be justified in refus-
ing to give her Holy Communion
and she would be the cause of
grave scandal to the congrega-
ton. The Church is not the place
for an exhibition of fashion
plates, and all who outrage the
canons of modesty and propriety
in this regard should be taught a
lesson in what is becoming to
Catholic womanhood.

will be transferred to the college

weigh both sides before he consented
to what any one would consider an
act of extortion on the part of the
barons. As to the provisions of the
charter, no reasonable man could con-
slider them unjust. They are the ex-
pressions of the rights given by
nature to rational beings. But there
is a lawful way of doing things. A
good end does not admit of base
means for it's attainment. The Pope
objected to the manner in which the
charter was obtained AS sovereign
of the Universal Church, the Pontiff
realized the danger of the public veal,
il any number of knights we're al
lowed to make and unmake the laws
of nation at will and without legal
procedure. LaWless barons in those
days were quite ready to oppose the
duly constituted and recognized ruler
| of their own interests. The virtue of
prudence babe the Pope show his
disapproval of the whole affair. Later
when the Charter was revised,
though it remained essentially the
same no objections were offered to it
| by his successors. 1t makes all the
difference in the world whether in the
first place the Pope had revoked the
charter because of the high-handed
way it was obtained from the king, or
whether he objected to it on account
of it's provisions. Most of them the
Popes had even favored to a far
greater extent than secular rulers
were wont to do.
| The Great Charter of Liberties is
rightly considered a valuable piece of
parchment. 1t is truly landmark
in the growth of democratic ideas.
The blessings we derive from it, how
ever, should not blind us to the real
| debt we owe to the Pontiff who. in a
time of great lawlessness stood up for
true principles of justice and right or
der. Ii the calumniators of the Popes
would make ever so little an attempt
to understand the motives actuating
those they are so ready to SANDER, the
Ecause of truth would be sfarther ad
yanced. Today, when prejudice, big
otry and passion play so large a par
in human affairs, it would be well OF
men would look to the Roman Pontiffs
at once the upholders of true con
servatism and true democracy, fol
guidance in that supreme virtue Of
prudence. Innocent had no small
share of it. We wonder if the many
who will say much for the Great
Charter of Liberties will also be ready
to acknowledge the true part he had
in it.

The Reason Why.
(Rey. Francis, Clement Kelley in the

Why do you always sing of God?
His greatness needs you not.
Has He not struck you with His rod
Can sorrows be forgot?
1 sing of Him because His blow,
In love and mercy sweet,
Has laid my pride and hatred low,
And led me to His feet.
His greatness needs me not at all;
He left me fair and free;
But when in freedom / did fall,
He stopped to chasten me.
What needs the sun OF stagnant pool
That poisons all the air?
What need has God of any fool,
That He should make him heir?
Yet doth the sun draw to the sky,
To scatter down i'm rain,

Upon the marshy plain.
