OUR LADY'S CHAPEL

and lifts the cross, symbolic of divine
love, foTtitude and truth, high above
the metropolis which nestles about its
base
Our Lady's Chapel is to be a shrine
dedicated to the Mother of the Incar-
nate God, a shrine of such beauty and
comeliness that the tens of thousands
who visit it year after year will con-
template it with admiration and de-
clare that within its sacred enclosure
is fulfilled in Minnesota the prophecy
of the "Magnifcat," that all genera

1t is the wish of the Executive Com
mittee to reach all the Catholic wom-
one may be given an opportunity to
participate in the merits to be de-
rived from this work, by making a
contribution, no matter how small it
may be, to the fund. The names of
all contributors will be inscribed on
enduring parchment and placed under
the marble table of the altar in Our
Lady's Chapel where, as special bene-
fciaries of her bounty, they will be en-
titled to her prayers and supplications
before the throne of her divine Son.
But it is physically impossible for
the solicitors to make a personal call
on all the Catholic women who may
desire to assist in this good work;
and, therefore, we have decided to
open the columns of The Catholic
Bulletin for the purpose of aiding
those who live at distance from st.
Paul to contribute to the fund with.
out being individually called upon. OF
course, the Catholic women of st.
Paul and vicinity should give their
contributions to the solicitors approx
ed by the Executive Committee, and
they are expected to do so. People
who live outside the city do not know
the proper persons to whom the mon
ey should be sent. In such cases, The
Catholic Bulletin will be pleased to
act as an intermediary and turn over
to the treasurer of the Executive Com
mittee any contributions for Our
Lady's Chapel which may be sent to
this Office. Each week we will publish
the names and addresses of those who
contribute, together with the amount

IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL

kingIy bearing, deep of voice, his gait
slow, his stature commanding. He
should be student indefatigable in
his researches; burner of the mid
night oil, intellectually honest, never
risking opinions, always sure OF his
ground,
How disappointed we often are in
the reality though. There is scarcely
day we do not run across some
exasperating product of their pigmy
minds. One can hardly take up a
review, a monograph, a pamphlet, or
journal without finding some speci=
men of their puerility, only equalled
by their CALLING conceit The more
ignorant they are of subject. the
more dogmatic they seem to be. No
where do they invite contempt more,
than when they enter into the most
profound and sacred science Of
theology, to deflle its pure and holy
precincts with their shallow, silly and
profane reasonings.

CENTENARY OF OBLATESI
FOUNDED BY BISHOP MAzENoD-
HAS NOW 900 HOUSES WITH
1000 M EMtRERs-TWo PROV.
INcEs IN The UNITED STATES
600 MISSIONARIES IN CANADA.

4 > : Z !
On January rs the Oblates of Mary
Immaculate GO. M. ID will celebrate
the centenary of their foundation. On
the feast of the Conversion of st.
Paul a French nobleman, Charles Jo-
seph Eugene De Mazenod, who be-
came later Bishop of Marseilles,
France, founded a mission house at
AK near Marseilles for secular priests
to form a body of devoted mission
aries for the sevangelisation of the
poor and to repair the raVages which
the French revolution had made
among the people. Four priests joined
him in his noble task. Ten years
later Pope Leo XII gave the new so
ciety his appreciation as congrega-
ton under simple vows with its pres
ent name.
Adapting his rules TO the conditions
of modern times, Bishop De Mazenod
felt Gods hand over his young con-
gregation. The number of applicants
as noyices increased and he soon was
able to send fathers as missionaries
to Canada in 1S41, to ireland and
Texas a few years later, to Buffalo,
N. Y, in 1850, to Ceylon and South
Africa shortly before his death.
The present Superior General is
Archbishop Dontenwill who resides at
the motherhouse in Rome. As the
Order grew rapidly from the be-
ginning its extension to different parts
of the world has been continuous. To
day it has over 500 houses spread
over the five continents with more
than 1000 members, Archbishops,
II Bishops and 700 young students.
The main mission field Of the OBJ
lates is on the American continent
with two Provinces in the United
States-the southern Province of
Texas and Mexico, the northern
with headquarters at Buffalo, N.
Y, both having about 200 members.
In Canada there are about 600 ObIate
missionaries 5fsed liz 4 Provinces, 2
Vicariates Apostolic and one Prefec-
ture Apostolic. In the eastern Can
adian Province the University of OF
tawa, Ottawa, Ontario, is under their
direction. All Indian missions of the
Canadian northwest are conided to
the zeal of the Oblates. Lately they
went as far as the snow and ice fields
of Chesterfield on the Hudson Bay,
the farthest northern Catholic mis-
sion.
The hundred years of Oblate mis-
sion work form brilliant page in the
history of the Catholic Church.

Bishop LAWYERS Address.

After having blessed the new home
Bishop Lawler delivered an address to
the Guild of Catholic Women in which
| he said in part:
desire to congratulate you on hav-

for girls who are away from home
and who receive small salaries. That
the Guild Hall department of your or
ganization has met with success is
seen from the fact that it has out
grown the quarters which we're at first
used for this purpose. 1t is gratifying
to know that the Guild Hall is on
sound financial basis and that it iS

homelike comforts and Influences
that make for their spiritual well.

thought of the Board of Managers.
Praiseworthy as is this venture it is
but one of the many laudable activi-
ties in which you are engaged. A
complete report of your work in the
juvenile court, in our hospitals, in the
county jail, in the home for crippled
children, in the preVentorium, in your
employment bureau, in your educa-
tional department, in your visits to the
sick in their homes would be both in
structive and edifying; but however
inspiring the records of our charitable
societies may be they do not surprise
us. We expect such records. We
have a right to look for such deeds
as the natural results of our principles
las the outward signs of our inward
faith. The Catholic Church is a vast
storehouse of charity. The marvel
would be if it we're otherwise.
Charity Not Optional.
It is scarcely necessary to remind
you that for Catholics the perform
ance Of charitable works is not merely
nice thing to do. not merely a fash

it is a duty that is strictly COM

PROMINENT PART IN EccLEsI-
AsTlcAL AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

Mgr. Fuzet, Archbishop of Rouen,
France, has just died in his seventy
seventh year. He was an ardent ad.
yocate of the policy of Leo XIII in re-
gard to the Republic. When the Sepa.
ration Law was introduced the French
Catholics, before the publication OF
the Encyclical sGrayissimo 0fficii,' .
were divided as to whether the "As.
sociations Cultuelles'a should be &C.
cepted, and it was stated that Mgr.
F'uzet was the real author of the fa-
nous clause of the Law, which sc.
cured the churches and ecclesiastical
property to associations in communion
with the Bishop and made schismatie
associations possible.
The deceased prelate was born al
Laudun in the Diocese of Mines on
November 8. 1889, and consecrated
Bishop in 1887. IN 1899 he was pro

VETERAN MISSIONARY CALLED
FATHER SHAW, c. M, SPENT HIS
LIFE PREACHING MISSIONS AND
RETREATS-WAS WELL KNOWN
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
AND BELOVED BY ALL.

The Rev. Thomas A. Shaw, the vet
eran missionary of the Vincentian Or
der, passed to his eternal reward in
st. Joseph's Hospital, Chicago, on Sun
day, January 9, in the 10Th year of
his age His demise followed a COM
plication of ailments and the infirm-
tiles of advanced years.
Requiem Mass was celebrated in St.
Vincent's Church, the following We'd
nesday; after which the remains were
forwarded to Perryville, Mo-, where,
at the conclusion of second funeral
Mass. in st. Mary's Seminary, they
weges4aid to rest, in the little burying
ground of the community.
Born in Liverpool, England, in 1887,
of Irish parents, Father Shaw came
to this country as "a boy and settled
at La Sale, Ill, where, coming in con-
tact with the Vincentians, who have
long had community there, he decid-
ed to join the ranks of ST. Vincent de
Paul. He studied for the priesthood
at st. Mary's Seminary in Perryville,
Mo-, and was ordained in ST. Louis by
Archbishop Kenrick in 1861.
From 1870 to 1877 Father Shaw was
director of seminarians at Niagara
University; but after that devoted
practically his entire time to conduct
ing missions and retreats, going from
coast to coast doing this work, and
through these activities becoming
widely known.
Father Shaw was superior at La
Sale, where the headquarters of the
missions of the Middle West were,
from 1890 till 1907, serving as direc-
tor of missions. During this term he
also continued his travels about the
country, conducting missions in per-
son. He was the author of ssThe Story
of the La Sale Mission" published in
two volumes;s had contributed many
historic articles on his Order to maga-
zines, and was preparing to issue the
history of the community in book form
at the time of his death. This work
will now be taken up by other meni-
bers of the Order, and compiled for
publication at an early date.

EAGER HEART" GIVEN At ST.
GATHERINGS COLLEGE UNDER
THE AUSPICES OF THE SAINT
PAUL INSTITUTE, PLEASED A
LARGE AupIENcE-THE MORAL
OF THE PLAY.

There is the story of the Irish moth
er who warned her child never to
refuse an aims to beggar, for How
did he know that the beggar might
not be our Blessed Lord in disguise?''
The Christmas miracle-play which the
st. Paul Institute offered in the audi.
torium of st. GATHERINGS College last
Wednesday week had the same
moving idea. The performance relied
on rich decorative effects to produce
the light that never was on sea or
land, and, while 1t rejected realistic
details, it had in fun measure the con.
secration and the poets dream. In
deed, even the elements supported the
symbolism OF the play, for the blizzard
that moaned and menaced outside
made the hospitality of Eager Heart
seem the greater gift The shadows
OF the late afternoon brought their
mystery to the dainty auditorium, and
the arched roof made the craft OF the
stage reTerbrate with Gothic gloom.

About a year ago the task of col
lecting a fund sufficient to complete
the interior of the Chapel of the Bless
ed Virgin Mary in the New Cathedral
of st. Paul and furnish and embellish
1T with all that is necessary for a
shrine worthy of her, was entrusted to
the Catholic women of the Diocese of
st. Paul Pleased with the confidence
thus reposed in them and with hearts
that thrilled with joyousness at the
opportunity to show their love for the
Blessed Mother, they set themselves
to the task and during the past year
succeeded in collecting the sum of
$4,000 for this purpose.
A new impetus was given to the
movement at the first meeting held
after the New Year, when those who
are vitality interested in this project
and actively engaged in soliciting the
funds assembled in the ST. Paul Hotel
to report progress and devise ways
and means for speedy completion of
their work. All felt that their labor
of love would be crowned with sue
cess before many months.
Solicitors are now busy in the diff
ferent parishes of the city seeking
contributions for this project and it is
confidently expected that when the
final accounting is made to the mem
bers of the Executive Committee DUR
ing Easter week the amount required
will be on hand for the furnishing of
Our Lady's Chapel with ALTAR statue
and mural decoration, the best, the,
loyeliest, that art aud workmansaip
can provide. Thus embellished
through the generosity of the Catholic
women of the diocese, the Blessed Vir-
gins shrine will tell to future genera
tions the story of self-sacrifice made
by the Catholic women of our day for
the Blessed Mother, their model and
patroness, and of the loving devotion
towards her which prompted them to
make her shrine a worthy adjunct to
the magnificent Cathedral which
adorns the brow of st. Anthony's Hill
