TO build the economic and spiritual
life that makes political freedom a
reality and a blessing"
Father Kelley in an extended reply
20 Mr. Bryan dated April Il says:
1t is reassuriug to note your prom
Use. that the principles which have
governed the political life of the
American people VIII govern the ad-
ministration in handling every ques-
tion that affects its relations with
Mexico. including the final question of
the recognition of any government
that may issue out OF the present rev
olution and give promise OF stability
and Justice. For those who represent
religion there has hitherto been no
Justice. and stability can scarcely be
expected while fellow-countrymen are
busy cutting each others throats."

an extract.
Nothing will shock the civilized
world more than punitive and vindic-

the United States ventures most re-
spcctfully hut most earnestly To eau
iion the leaders of the Mexican peo-

The administration has not felt at

"BE LOYAL TO AMERICA" SAYS
BISHOP TO $4,000 POLES.

Demonstrate the good citizenship
for which you are noted" said the
Right Rev. Paul P. Rhode in his fare
we'll speech at the auditorium on Sun
day evening, speaking to the Polish
Americans who made up his great au.
dience.
BE loyal to America, your country.
Stand by the United States in time Of
peace, in time of trial and through any
crisis"
These patriotic sentiments from the
first Polish bishop ever created in the
United States, on the eve of his de.
parture for the Diocese of Green Bay,
met with hearty applause from his
audience composed of representatives
of 100000 Poles, and of prominent
Chicagoans who appreciated the work
that Bishop Rhode has done in this
city.
At the close of the programme Bish.
op Rhode was presented with a purse
of about 81, 500 as a parting gift. This
money will be sent by the bishop to
Europe for the relief of the Polish
war victims. The theater receipts
about $1,000, will be turned over to
the bishop, and this money will also
be sent to Polish sufferers.-New

Washington last week was a great and
imposing celebration, and the recep-
ton accorded the veterans as they
marched up historical Pennsylvania
avenue constituted touching tribute
to the nations favorite sons.
OF the many Grand Army Posts in
the city, none attracted more atten-
ton than Post 52s of the Department
of Indiana, which Is made up entirely
of priests and Brothers of the Holy
Cross. All the members went out in
the vigor of young manhood in various
regiments and came together, long
years after the war had closed, at No.
tire Dame, Indiana. All are connected
with the University of Notre Dame.
The annual report of the G. A. r.
shows that on December 81, 1914,
there were on the rolls 159,863 men,
bers in good standing and 5,452 posts
in existence. The report shows deaths
numbering 11,434 during the year 1914,
as we'll as other losses, making total

MAKES APOLOGY TO CATHOLICS.
The following communication, which
Is self-explanatory, was received by
the Dubuque Times-Journal for pub
LEGATION:
l am happy to state that the plac.
Ing for sale upon the book tables of
the Methodist book concern of a rabid
anti-Roman Catholic publication, pur-
porting to be the autobiography of an
ex:priest of that church, was a mat
ter with which neither the pastor of
st. Luke church nor the Upper Iowa
conference had anything to do what
ever. AS soon as it was noticed, its
immediate withdrawal was demanded,
and the agent complied at once with
proper apologies.
The sale of books attacking in an
unfair or discourteous manner the re-
ligious views and practices of our fell
low Christians, is not countenanced
by the conference or by the local
church. 1t Is our wish to live in cor.
dial and tolerant relations with all
who love our Lord Jesus Christ sin.
cerely and to give no needless offense.
l freely make this statement as a
sincere message to any who have been
disturbed or offended by the incident
mentioned above.

Pastor of st. Luke Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Dubuque.

THE EXTERNAL LOVER.

God is the eternal lover of souls.
He loved US from the beginning, and
because Of His love, He sent His son
on this earth to save and redeem US.
Because He loves us He wishes to be
with US forever in His home in Heav-
en-. But the human soul loves God,
too. We are made for God, and we
never will be satisfied except in the
possession Of God. And every man
has a heart: and every man loves,
and every man is seeking the object
of his love; and If we seek it on earth
we are seeking what we cannot find.
Our Savior came to teach us in the
way. He says: Yonder is your love.
And from His time the world has been
taught that the first human law is,
thou shalt love the Lord thy God.
And that truth we know, and that
truth Christianity recognizes; and we
Catholics are trying to make it the
stepping stone to happiness. We
know God loves US and we are trying
to love Godfather Phelan.
