THE DEATH. OF ARCH:
BISHOP LANGEV|N
Nf vUNuInvI / UMuu

Archbishop Langevin, Archbishop of
St. Boniface, and the most important
figure in the Catholic Church in West
ern Canada, died In Montreal, June Is.
The Archbishop had been sick for
some time, and his death was not un-
expected. The last rites of the
Church were administered Tuesday
night. His Grace had been in poor
health for over "a year and some
months ago he journeyed to Texas in
the hope that the southern climate
would benefit him; Later he returned
to St. Boniface and a short time since
went to Montreal. The Reverend
Archbishop believ ed that his health
and vigor were returned until a re-
action was noticed last week. From
this late attack he was not able to
rally and continued to grow worse
until his death. He was SO years old
and one of those noted figures in the
Catholic Church in Canada and was
we'll known throughout the United
States.

The school rooms will be admirably
furnished, ventilated and lighted. They

This is the true manner of lighting

mixed marriage scandal. Readers may
remember the furore raised over the
Mccain case in Belfast and how
Catholics were accused of kidnapping
and all manner of outrages inspired
by priests. But here, in another Bel
fast case, where the actual kidnapers
are Protestants, the court finds in ia
vor of these breakers of law and Or

and the facts are these. A Protestant
man who married Catholic woman
failed to keep his promise to bring
up the children in the faith, but
caused them to be brought up Protest
ants. The father died and the mother
Immediately made arrangements for
her son to attend a Catholic school
to receive Catholic education. The
Protestant relatives interfered and
brought an action, and meanwhile the
representative of Protestant sect,
posing as a representative of the
court, abducted the child. Yet the
learned Judge found for the Protest
ants, and censured the mother for en-
deavoring to change the child's re-
ligion, and did not commit the kid
napers for contempt of court, but, on
the contrary, appointed a Protestant
clergyman as guardian to the boy.

forming of teams in this city, and
am sure they would prosper in time.
Hurleys and footballs can be obtained
through Charles A. O'Connor, of 21
Spruce ST., New York City; sweaters
could be bought after awhile, and in
few years few full-fedged teams
could be able to represent st. Paul,
Minneapolis or Duluth against any
other city. Chicago and Detroit have
teams, and Butte also boasts of a
good aggregation, therefore inter-city
matches would draw very good
crowds, and enthusiasm would run
high, which would tend to keep the
ancient Gaelic pastimes of Ireland
alive. Let's hope that this letter will
be the means of starting the ball
a-rolling, and that we can see good

Jesuit Priest Scores
Eng|and's immortality

Dealing with the question of Eng
lands position and responsibility in
the war Father Bernard Vaughan, the
noted London Jesuit, scores the NOR
ality of England which praises man
because he goes to the trenches while
leaving an unwedded mother behind
a morality which declares that no
blame is to be attached to either par
ty. In recent sermon Father Waugh
an said:
"God is scourging us for our sins,
and I am afraid that in my country
they have not begun to realize the
iniquity and obliquity of sin, the sin
of bringing up a so-called Christian
people without Christian doctrine;
educating the people of this country
as though there were no life beyond
the grave, as though we were sent
upon this earth with no other mission
but to have good time. Instead of
drawing Gods blessing some of us
are drawing Gods curse upon our
arms. We have been told again and
again that the unmarried mother must
not be blamed, that the khaki man,
having so bad time in the trenches
should be given better time at
home; whatever he likes he should
have and the country should be thank
full that he leaves behind him an un-
welded mother with children to be in
the future the supporters and builders
of our Empire. A Christian people to
talk like this! Swapping their fingers
in the face of Christ. Shrieking out:
We will not have this Man to rule
over us, we will be ruled by pleasure,
and we want in all ways we can to
wiring pleasure out of our bodies,' be-
fore they are ruined and worn out in
the muddy pleasures of filthy sin. We
shall have to be scourged yet more
before we are brought to our knees to
beg Gods pardon"
And the scourging "yet more" has
come since the utterance of Father
Vaughan's words, and gives promise
of still further coming.

ployment long denied are hers, pro-
fessions from which she was long
barred eagerly welcome her; in the

ing mans rival; in trade and traffic.

Salic law, and she challenges mastery

And the progress toward the sweeping
away of all Inequalities between the

PAPAL POLICY in
FRANCE UNCHANGED

The rumors that the present Holy
Father was about to change the pol
icy pursued by his predecessor In
France, by which Catholics were to
unite regardless of political differ
ences in all things which affected the
Church or morals, and we're to go
their own way politically, has been
denied by the Bishop of Montauban,
who has just returned from Rome.
He laments the want Of an official
representative Of the French nation
at the Vatican and owns he met those
who were prejudiced against France.
but he says the Pope sympathizes
with her, heart and soul. He also adds
that in order to put an end to the
reports which had been gaining cur
rency regarding the Catholic Union
he asked the Holy Father precisely
and directly whether there was an in
tention to change the present situa-
ton as regards French Catholics
after war, of course. The Pontiff re-
piled thus: "The basis Of the Catho.
lie action always rests on religious
grounds, without veering. Ten years
ago under Plus X 1t seemed necessary
to dissipate certain prejudices tend.
ing to establish the incompatibility OF
Catholicism and Republicanism. That
demonstration has been made eff
ciently. There is no reason to return
to It," There is therefore no change
in the Union Catholique and its work
and the Pope does not intend to mar
out new course Of political action az
regards France. Nor has he modified
the line of conduct traced for that
country during the last pontificate.

THE CAUSE OF The
IRISH MARTYRS

In the course OF about three weeks
the Sacred Congregation of Rites will
return to the Archbishop of Dublin all
the documents concerning the names
Of the PSI Irish bishops, priests, lay
men and women mentioned in the re-
cent decree on the Irish martyrs.
His Grace of Dublin will be asked to
act in the name Of the Holy See and
gather all further evidence that is
possible to substantiate the claim to
martyrdom for the faith put forward
on the part of each of these holy serv-
ants of God. This is called the Apos-
tolic Process.
With such an energetic man at the
helm as is Archbishop Walsh, we may
expect the entire mass of evidence to
be ready for forwarding to Rome in
about year.
Time flies quickly in Rome. 1t
seems only yesterday that Father
Conmy, S. j., arrived in Rome in
charge of the mass of evidence that
led to the publication of the recent
decree authorizing the introduction OF
the cause to the Sacred Congregation
of Rites. He was relieved by Msgr
Murphy, rector of the Irish college
to whom as postulator of the cause
Father Conmy delivered the docu
ments.
That is ten years ago. Both are
now gone to u6timely graves, kindly
learned, courtly gentlemen, who are
not yet forgotten in Rome.
