REMARKABLE PROTESTANT TRIB-
UTE TO A PRIEST.

Leicester, England. was the scene
of unique demonstration a few
days ago in HONOR of the Very Rev
Father Hays, the twentieth century
Apostle of Temperance" when the
Citizens Army, all of whom are
Protestants, held parade through
the principal streets of the town as
tribute of respect and welcome to the
priest, who had Just returned from
his annual sojourn at Kilkeel County
Down, Ireland. The officers and men
looked very smart in their new uni
forms, and, mastering the largest
turnout since the formation of the
corps a year ago, they marched to
st. Adams Catholic Church, which
was crowded.
Father Hays, who for many years
has been president for England Of
the Catholic Temperance Crusade,
and who has recently done much for
religion and philanthropy in Leicester
shire, preached stirring and elo-
queht sermon.

Sepieter, Lazarist, Of Hoei pou, thinks

get the principles they have learned,
which means that he has no time to

A PROTESTANT SOLDIER PAYS A
WARM TRIBUTE TO A JESUIT
CHAPLAIN.

A private in the Levant Expedition
airy Force writes to the Catholic Uni
verse, London, from Salonica as fol
lows:
Il am writing on behalf of myself
and several non-Catholic comrades.
We have a Catholic Priest in our brig
ade called Father Henry Day, S. j.,
and we wish to thank him through
your valuable paper for his good SER
vices and kindness to us. He is a
gentleman that is loved by all his men
throughout his brigade, and think
that it is my duty to let the Catholic
people in England know of the fine
work he has done. l hear that he is
late of the Holy Name, Manchester
He joined our brigade in March, 1915,
and came out to Egypt with us in
April, 1915. He has been up the SueZ
Canal, and was at Gallipoli, and was
in the big yeomanry charge on August
II, 1915, when we advanced across
Sale Lake towards Chocolate Hill I'm
der murderous fire from the Turks.
1t was here that Father Day won the
hearts of all his men with his splen-
did work and remarkable GOODNESS
while under heavy fire. He used to
walk about as if nothing was going on,
and so calm. The boys used to say
that it was impossible for the Turks
to hit him. l believe he was also
presented with badge of the regi-
ment from the men in the yeomanry
for leading them in action against a
sap which the Turks held. He kept
going along until his health failed
him, and he was carried off Gallipoli
on stretcher with enteric fever and
was sent to Egypt into, a hospital.
After he got we'll again the doctors
ordered him to go to England, but he
refused to leave his men, and in the
meanwhile we had to withdraw from

wish him Godspeed and safe return

SAD SIGHTS OF LEPER HOS
PITFALLS.

Sad sights are the daily portion of
the good Franciscan nuns in the BIZ
1wasaki leper hospital, Japan. Sister
Mary Colombo in an interesting letter
of recent date says the last two re-
cruits were beggars, who had met on
the road and by painfully walking a
long distance had managed to reach
the asylum. One had sold his little
sister to SECURE food and lodging for
her and to get her away from his con-
tagion. A 1agan, the enormity of his
act did mott affect him, and he really
had her welfare at heart. The condi-
ton of this Youth was frightful. One

THE REFORMATION sMoTHERED
THE AESTHETIC.

Il, as a Protestant, have had often
to regret that we purchased our free
dom of conscience, our individual lib
erty, at entirely too high a price. In
order to make room for small mean
little plant of personal life, we de-
stroyed a whole garden of fancy, and
hewed down virgin forest of aesthe-
tic ideas. We went even so far in the
insanity of our weakness as to throw
out of the garden of our souls the
fruitful soil that had been accumu-
lated for thousands of years, or else
we plowed it under sterile clay.
1--WE have today, then, an intelligent
culture that is well protected by a
hedge of our personality, but within
this hedge we have only delicate
dwarf trees and unworthy plants, the
poorer progeny of great predecessors.
We have telegraph lines, bridges and
railroads, but there grow no. churches
and cathedrals, only sentry boxes and
barracks. We need gardeners who
will cause the present sterilizing proc
ess of the soil to stop, and will en-
rich the surface by working up into
it the rich layers beneath. In my
work-room there is ever before me
the photograph of Sebaldus' Tomb
(model Metropolitan Museum, New
York;. This rich German symbol rose
from the invisible in the most luxuri-
ant developmental period Of German
art. AS formal product of that art,
it is very difficult to appreciate it as
it deserves. 1t seems to me as enc

Some very forceful words come frbm

of how the priests are existing on the
dreadful coast section so difficult TO
the white man under any condition:
Just now we need help more than

Popes have never set foot in Rome at
all during their entire Pontificate.
Temporal Power is not absolutely
necessary for the Pope. Indeed he
has no temporal power now, and for
the first few hundred years of the
Catholic Church, he had no temporal
power either. This, however, does not
exonerate the Italian government
from the crime of Selling the tenn
poraI patrimony of the Pope and of
the Universal Church.
There have been Popes of many diff
ferent nationalities. One Englishman,
Nicholas Breakspeare, became Pope.
He was called Adrian w, and he
reigned in the years 1854 to 1853
The Pope is the chief Bishop of the
world He appoints all the Bishops
in the world. They all take orders
from him; they all report to him;
they are all responsible to him; they
all must visit him at regular inter
walls to render an account of their
dioceses.

wishes. Some Popes have done so,
thinking the burden too great for
their powers.
The Pope is elected by the Cardi-
nails. The Cardinals are not required
to elect one of their own number.
They could elect priest, or Bishop,
who was not a Cardinal at all If a
simple priest we're elected, as hap
pened during the nineteenth century,
he would have to be consecrated a
Bishop first, then crowned Pope.
1t is not necessary for the new Pope
to be elected Immediately after the
previous Pope's death. Sometimes,
due to extraordinary circumstances, a
long period may intervene between
the death of Pope, and the election
of his successor. At one time period
of about two and one half years in
tervened
The Pope lives in Rome in a build
ing called the Vatican. The Vatican
was formerly the site of the gardens
of the Emperor Nero. It was Nero
who put st. Peter, the first Pope, to
death. Nero little thought st. Peters
successor would occupy the Vatican as
his residence.

These are statements worthy of re-
membrance. They cast a light upon
the good which has been done by the
standard bearers of the Faith in so
many lands. They remind us, too, of
the work that is still going on among
the pagan people by, the successors of
the missionaries of California and the.
early fathers in the Philippines.
They need but small resources for
their prosecution of this workout
that little they must have. The great
world war has injured in cutting off
the source of much of their support
1t is incumbent upon the people of
America, who are at peace, to con
tribute even more generously than be-
fore to the missionary work. In that
way will they be actively assisting in
the good that it accomplishes5

3 TITLES or OUR LORD.

Christ is called "the Door," not a
literal thing of wood, but a spiritual
living door.
He is called ''the Way" not one
trodden by mems feet, but one which
leads to the Father in heaven.
He is called "the Lamb" not an
irrational one, but the one which
through His precious blood taketh
away the sins of the world
He is called the Shepherd" because
He not only keeps sheep, but dies
to save them.
He is called. t'the Lion" in opposi-
ton to him who goeth about as a
roaring lion seeking whom he may
deyour. ,
IS, He is called 1.-The Stone, not quar-.
ried by mems hands, but ''the chief
cornerstone, elect, precious. HI
Is He is called .the Son of Man be-
cause He was bone of our bone and
flesh of our flesh
He is called the Son of God be-
cause He is the only-begotten of the
Father
He is called Christ" because His
Father anointed Him to be the High
Priest of the Church.
He is called Jesus" because "He
will save His people from their sins"
His titles are indeed many; their
subject, however, is one.

COMPETITION in SCHOOL WORK.

Father Tisserand, C. NJ. has been
eight years at his post in Chu-C Chow,
and says that many blessings have
fallen on the little Christian settle
ment, which now numbers about five
thousand faithful Catholics If the
baptisms have not been in large num-
bers, they have been continual
But in Chu-Chow, as elsewhere in
China, the schools need to be more
numerous and more up to date. Com
petition in this line is keen, and if the
natives do not get good, modern
and practical education in the Catho-
hc5 schools they will go to those of
the Protestants, which offer every adj
vantage. A French consul recently
said to one of the missionaries: Look
out, you are falling behind; and if
you do not improve your schools you
will. lose your influence over these
people.
{ Each free pupil costs the mission
eight dollars a year, which in the az
gregate brings the cost of school 10
