j. NJ. Muse.

John Martial Muse was born April
90, 1871, in Clarke county Virginia,
and departed this life September IA,
1916. at the age of IS years, months
and &c days. He was the son of
Warner and Martha Muse, both OF
whom have preceded him in death.
In early life he moved to Ohio and
from there to Jefferson county, Iowa.
At the age of 81 he was united in
marriage to Rebecca Jane Stewart,
and to this union five children were
born, Mrs. E. j. Swope, Mrs. c. P.
Swope and Fred Muse, all of Leon,
Ralph of Akron, Ohio, and Walter of
Des Moines, all of whom were present
to mourn their loss. There were sew
en- grandchildren, four of whom are
living, six sisters and three brothers,
all of whom have departed this life,
except two brothers, one in Nebraska
and the other in Corydon, Iowa.
Mr.. Muse moved to Decatur county
in 1852 and united with the Chris
tan church of Leon in 1866. During
the last few years his health has
caused him to be absent from the
church services but his faith in God
held fast. Just short time before
his death he said he was ready to go
and meet his Saviour face to face.
Though he had been sick for num-
Der of years he was not bed-fast only
about two weeks.
Though on earth we feel great
loss, the loved ones gone beyond are
rejoicing at his coming.

We want to call especial attention
this week to the international Con-
vention of the Disciples OF Christ,
that is to be held at Des Moines, Oct.
9 to 16. This is the nearest that an
international convention has ever
been to our community and feel
that it is an unusual opportunity for
us to become acquainted with the
World Wide Work of the Disciples OF
Christ am urging that every mem
Der of the church if it is within his
power at all to take in the sessions
of the convention. If you cannot be
there every day be there as many
days as possible.
We report good interest in the SER
vices of last Lords day and are glad
to note that folks are getting back
into the swing of the regular pro-
gram for the new year. More elab-
crate preparations have been made
for the bible school work and just
now plans of unusual import are
formulating for the revival campaign
of the autumn season, and 1t is hop
ed that if these plans do work out
that the whole community will be
marvelously blessed of the Lord and
souls be born into the kingdom. May
the Lord bless the season of 1861
in our community.

RIsH-AMERlcAN SOCIETIES DE-
CLARE ABERDEEN'S MISSION
is A SuRTEREuGE.

1rish-American societies of Will
mington, DEL, have refused to indorse
the work of Lord and Lady Aberdeen,
who are advocating charitable projects
in behalf of the people of Ireland.
Some of the societies, it was announc-
ed last week, already have taken &C.
tion declaring the projects are being
used "as cloak" to screen the move
ments of England's emissaries in this
country.
The Wilmington societies, it is said,
look upon Lord and Lady Aberdeen
as missionaries of England's propa-
ganda in this country, and not advo-
Gates of 1reland's cause. Action re-
fusing to indorse the Aberdeens
whose visit includes reception at
the New Century club, has so far been
taken by the Irish-American associa-
tion and the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans. Another reason given for the
action is that these societies are able
to look after any necessary charity
work in Ireland.

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO MEN OF
NAVY,


His Eminence, Cardinal O'Connell,
of Boston, visited the new superdred-
naught Nevada" at the Charlestown,
Mass, navy yard on last Saturday.
This was his first visit to a modern
battleship.
He was met at the gang plank by
Commander J. T. Tomkins, U. S. ~,
and Chaplain E. A. Duff, U. S. N.
The Cardinal made a tour of inspec-
tion with the Commander and the
Chaplain, after which he was intro
duced to the officers and men, who
received him most enthusiastically.
The whole ship company was muster
ed on the port side of the main deck,
and listened to most inspiring talk
by His Eminence, who paid high
tribute to the men of the navy, re.
minding them Of the inestimable value
of discipline, and the qualities of gen.
tlemen for the real lasting efficiency.
He asked Gods blessing on the men
and the ship, telling them to go forth
to seek peace and not to be aggressive,
but at the same time keeping before
themselves that the sacred rights OF
this glorious country, to protect which
they must give all-life itself, if need
be.
The men gave the Cardinal three
rousing cheers at the conclusion of
his talk.

Catholic Colleges Win Distinction
College Of St. Catherine and St. Thomas College Now
Members Of North Central Association of Colleges.
St. Catherine First College for Women Recognized

The twenty-first annual meeting of
the North Central Association of Col.
leges was held at the La Sale Hotel,
Chicago, on Thursday and Friday.
March % and "a. At this meeting the
College Of st. Catherine, of st. Paul,
Minnesota, was represented by Sister
Antonia, Dean of the College, and by
Sister Irene, member of the music
faculty. Two years ago the college
asked for admission to the associa-
tion, but was not recommended owing
to a question of endowment. The
association at that time was not ready
to consider exceptions to the rule
which determined that institutions
seeking admission should have suffi-
cient financial backing to give assur-
ance of their material stability. Since
then the officers of the association
have made a study Of Catholic COL
leges operated by men and women
who have consecrated their lives to
the work of teaching and who give
their services gratis While making
study of the finances of the Catholic
colleges the committee learned Incl
dentally that the faculties of the col
leges visited compared favorably with
those in endowed institutions, that the
equipment was in no way inferior,
that the requirements were as rigid,
and that the program Of studies Of
fered was in harmony with the ap-
proved programs of accredited col
leges. In the things not material that
go to the building up OF an efficient
cOllege-traditiOn, ideals, the moral
and spiritual elements that are the
very soul of the institution-the Cath.
olic colleges are second to none In
recognition of these facts the North
Central Association, OH Friday, March
"a, placed the College of st. Catherine
on the accredited list.
The College of st. Catherine was
opened as a junior college in Sep
tember, 1906. Five years later it be
gan it's career as senior college
with u carefully arranged program
covering four years of collegiat,
work. In the autumn of 1915 the st
Catherine faculty invited the Mime
sofa University committee for &C
crediting schools to inspect the worl
and the equipment of the college, The
result of the inspection was the plac
ing of St. GATHERINGS on the Mime
sofa list Of accredited schools.
| The College of St Catherine is tt
be congratulated on this dual recog

milton accorded it in the tenth year
of its existence. st. GATHERINGS is the
first Catholic college for women rec
ognized by the North Central Associa-
tion ,of Colleges, an association which
dete tmines the standard of colleges in
the North Central States. This rec
ognition speaks for itself to the Cath
olic people of the Northwest. The
college needs and deserves encourage.
ment and support. 1t offers the best
in the things material and spiritual
that make for success in the college
world. Why should it not have the
generous patronage of the Catholic
young women of the Northwest?

ST. THOMAS COLLEGE.

The news that the College of St.
Thomas and the College of St. Cath
crime have been accredited by the
North Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools cannot fail to
arouse lively interest among all who
have at heart the cause of higher edu-
cation among Catholics. The North
Central Association determines the
standing of colleges and secondary
schools in fifteen states. To win the
coveted honor of its approval institu-
tiOns must submit to an investigation
covering the entire scope of their
work and entering into every detail
of their management and equipment.
That ST. Thomas and St. GATHERINGS
invited the ordeal and emerged from
it with so much credit is splendid
proof of the enlightened policy with
which these great schools are con-
ducted
The new distinction achieved by our
two diocesan colleges is prophetic of
the progress which they will surely
continue to make. Everything is in
their favor. There are no more de-
voted teachers in the world than the
priests of ST. Thomas and the nuns of
St. GATHERINGS. With them education
is the work of their lives, and their
vocation makes it IL labor Of love. 1t
is we'll known that they have been
trained in the best schools at home
and abroad, and that they keep in
touch with every movement that
makes for efficiency in the world Of
education. The splendid equipment
which they are steadily procuring, the
laboratories and libraries which they
are building up afford exceptional ad-
