Thursday, June 8, the Most Reverend
James j. Keane, Archbishop of Du-
buque, dwelt on the lowering of ideals
which will inevitably follow the So
called emancipation of women which
will take place when she is placed on
an equal footing with man in the in
dustries and in politics. He said that
women could not enjoy all the privi-
leges of one sex and all the rights of
another.

queen" the Archbishop said. "and as

Oh, wet and warm is the bursting
earth,
And the pale green sprouts are troop
ing fast
To the light of the sun, for Winters
past,
And the bird choir sings of the young
springs birth;
And over the earth for a little span
Riot and jubel the pipes of Pan.
The dry earth gapes for the gracious
rain,
The dusty trees greet the smallest
cloud,
The flowers stand still with their fair
heads bowed,
The white sheep pant on the burning
plain,
And the sap is slow that in spring
time ran,
While faint and far are the pipes of
Pan.
The fruit grows round 'mong the shell.

AS the slow days pass, and the beams

Into threads of crimson and gold are

AS Autumn a dress for her fruitage
Weaves.
And the harvest is vast as the young

But the music is still of the pipes o

priests or Sisters of the Church;
others by gifts of material means
needed in the maintenance of those
missions.
In contributing to "The Society of
the Propagation of the Faith" the
Diocese of st. Paul is paying debt
not merely one of charity, but, also,
one of strict justice. In the early
days of it's history, the Diocese of
st. Paul received from the Society
generous succor, without which it's
pioneer bishops and priests were de-
prived of the means of livelihood, and
the progress of religion within its
borders fatally retarded.
You will, of yourself, Rev. dear
Father, know through what measures
it may be possible for you to awaken
among our faithful Catholic people a
lively interest in the work of THE
Society of the Propagation of the
Faith" | leave much to your own
prudent devising, to your own earnest
zeal. Beyond that, my counsel and
cooperation will be always at your
service
Nor need I give assurance that, in
whatever you undertake, you will
have the cordial assistance of your
fellow priests in the Diocese of ST.
Paul. Their intelligence of the needs
of religion, at home or abroad, their
whole-heartedness in providing for
those needs, is the guarantee that they
will be your active co-laborers.
Very sincerely,
