Artic Explorer Dies as Monk

Clothed in the simple Tertiary's hab-
it of Dominican Friar, Carl L. Sand
in, former scientist and author, was
buried from the College of the Domini-
can Fathers, at Washington, last
week. Following the solemn chant
ing of the Office of the dead by COM
munity Of eighty friars, a Requiem
Mass was sung by the Very Rev. M.
A. Waldron, o. P. Prior of the Con-
vent, assisted by the Reverend
Fathers Moore and Beckley, as Dea.
con and Sub Deacon. In the sanctu-
ary besides the Dominican Fathers
of the Convent were present members
of the Franciscan, Paulist and secular
clergy.
Mr.. Sandin was widely known
among the Catholic converts of Ameri-
ca, having been associated for num-
Der of years with the Catholic Con.
verts' League and the Scandinavian
Converts League of New York City.
Mr. Sandin came from Sweden at
the age of twenty-seven to prepare
himself for Holy Orders in the Gen.
eral Theological Seminary of New
York. He had been received into the
Anglican Communion while living in
London some years previously. After
five years in the seminary Mr.. Sandin,
failing to find that religious peace of
mind for which he sought, paid visit
to Italy with a view of studying the
Church of Rome. Remaining there
two years, without however entering
the Catholic Church, he returned to
America and entered Princeton
University to prepare himself for a
literary career. When the first Bald.
win-Siegler expedition was equipped
for polar exploration and an appeal
for volunteers from the ranks of col.
lege bred men was sent abroad. Sand.
In offered his services to the promoters
Of the expedition. He was accepted
together with nineteen others who
composed the scientific staff of the
party.

Best Hyphenated Americans Come
in Steerage

"Hyphenated Americans" was the
subject Of an address by Professor
Edward A. Steiner, of Grinnell Col
lege, Iowa, in Carnegie Hall, New
York. He spoke of "the Atlantic
Ocean hyphen," which, he said, he
found in the first cabins of vessels
and not in the steerage. He men.
toned his meeting "a real live count
ess," whose father, a Wall street mil
lionaire. had purchased title as
we'll as various and sundry ancestors
for his daughter"
1T was in that cabin" the speaker
said, ''and not in the steerage that l
had to fight real battles for the Unit
ed States, for her democracy and in
herent ideals. The real hyphenated
Americans whose hyphen signified
dual loyalty, badly diluted at that, I
found in Charlottenburg, Dresden, Mu-
mich, Paris, the Riviera, among those
Americans who had expatriated them
selves for cultural or financial rea.
sons. Their patriotism showed itself
in eating turkey on Thanksgiving
Day.
II have seen the children of our
merchant princes in English and
Swiss schools passing through educa-
tional processes which were designed
to sweat out of them their American
blood, while in their fathers shops
and mills in America foreign-born
men and women were sweated to get
dollars to pay for those sons for
eign education. have seen rivers of
gold poured into the pockets of the
Prince of Monaco, stacks of good plain
United States coin offered upon the
green altar of his Highness by men
and women who thought it disloyal
for our immigrants to send their hon
est savings, mere crumbs from the
rich mems tables, to the same old
poverty-stricken world.
II find more real patriotism in Fifth
street than in Fifth avenue. If gov
ernment by the people of the people
and for the people perishes from the
earth, it will perish from the exclusive
suburb down, and not from the ex-
elusive foreign quarter up."

known was failure, but it was the
occasion of great gain to Mr.. Sandin.
To quote his own words from Beyond
the Road to Rome; AT the North
Pole lost my hearing and found my
soul" During the long night of the
Arctic regions many of the crew were
reduced to state of despair. They
prayed, asking God to send them the
light of the sun. When at last the
glory of the Auroraborealis burst upon
their sight, 1--WE fell on our knees"
(he says) mute and almost blinded in
the splendor of this glory of Cod"
After his return to America he
entered the Protestant Episcopal
Monastery near New York to dedi-
cate his life to God, in gratitude for
his deliverance from the perils of the
North, and as proof of his belief in
God. 1t was but step from here to
the Church of Rome. He became a
Catholic a few years ago, being re.
ceived into the Church by Bishop
Cusack. Upon entering the church
he retired to the Trappist Monastery
at Lonsdale, R. l., as a guest of the
monks. From this institution he
went to live with the Bishop Of AL.
bany, but the desire for monastic life
persisting, he came to Washington in
the October of last year with view
of joining the Dominican Order He
has been a member of the Community
since that time, preparing himself for
formal reception into the Order.
Mr.. Sandin died at Providence Hos.
pital, Washington, February goth,
where he had been removed after hav.
Ing contracted what proved to be q
fatal illness.
Besides being a scientist of repute,
Mr.. Sandin was an expert in the use
OF five languages and an intrepid ex.
plorer, and writer.
| In addition to numerous articles con
tributed to religious and secular maya
zines. he translated a number Of books
from his native tongue into English
and several important English works
into the Swedish language.

Even those Of us who are not very
old, remarks the editor of The Sacred
Heart Review, remember the time
when there was no such reluctance
on the part of the Lord Lieutenant
or any other English Lord to Irish
emigration. The only thing that trou-
bled English officials in Ireland then
was that the Irish were not going
from the land of their forefathers
fast enough. We hope the new inter-
est in their staying at home is entire
ly unselfish.

LONDON RENTALS HIGHEST IN
WORLD.

Fifty years ago London was one of
the lowest rented of the great capitals
of the world Nowadays 1t is one of
the highest. For shops Bond street
is the dearest thoroughfare in the
world. Broadway in New York comes
next, and a limited radius near the
Place de fOpera in Paris ranks third.
A small shop in Bond street readily
rents for from $4,000 to $500 a year.
This includes the shop and basement,
but not any other part of the prem
ises. The shops in Regent street cost
even more, but then they are larger,
thus making the rent to the square
foot work out less.

Catholic Growth in Australasia

1t is now more than hundred years
since the longdrawn.out sufferings of
Ireland allowed, according to the
plans of Divine Providence, poor
trembling bands of Irish exiles to
creep from their cells and their hard
taskmasters in order to carry the
light of faith to these Southern lands,
says the New Zealand Tablet. Their
companions in exile were three
priests. But if these first Catholic
missionaries came to teach and con-
sole their poor flock, it was not ow-
ing to the wise and humane provi-
sion of the English Government, for
they were branded as convicts for a
supposed share in the so-called Irish
Rebellion. One of these priests was
almost Immediately on arrival par
doned and returned to Ireland; the
second was sent to Norfolk Island,
while the third remained in Sydney.
That "poor, gentle, priestly convict"
then represented the Church which
today finds it's representatives in a
Hierarchy of thirty-six archbishops
and bishops and an Apostolic Dele
gate. His place is now occupied by
seven Ecclesiastical Provinces-Syd-
ney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Tasmania,
Perth, Brisbane, New Zealand; by IL
Apostolic Vicariates and Procedures.
The public worship Of the Church is
celebrated in 2o54 churches by 1886
priests, and there are 579 Brothers
Of Religious Orders and 1888 nuns.
There are five ecclesiastical sem
inaries for the training of priests, 40
colleges for boys and 218 for girls

MISSOURI STATE CORN
SHOW WILL BE HELD
DURING FARMERS WEEK

Now listen, if you really have bet.
ter corn than Bill Smith or any o.
your other neighbors, why not send g
sample to the Missouri State Corr
Show and settle the question? You
will have the goods on him then anG
he will have to back down. The Corr
Show is held to bring out the best ir
the State and there is no use in wrang-
ling longer over who can raise the
best corn. The show will determine
that. 1t will also be advisable to send
exhibits of wheat, oats, clover seed
cowpeas, soy beans, timothy and al.
falfa seed. The Fourteenth Annual
Corn Show will be held at the Uni
versity of Missouri, Columbia, dur,
ing Farmers Week, January 1 to 5
1917.
This years show, in spite of the Sc
we're season just passt, promises to
be one of unusual interest and to
bring forth grain of unexpected quail
ity. Many sections of the State had
heir corn crop cut short by the Sc
we're drouth but from every section
come reports of some good corn and
small grain.
During Farmers Week more than
1000 visitors will go to Columbia and
see this great grain show Every eX-
hibit of grain will be labeled with the
name and address of the grower and
the most of the owners of this exhib-
it material will attend. The Corn
Show is a recognized clearing house
for good seed. Producers of good
seed have found it an excellent place
TO display their wares, and buyers
can always find the man who can fur
nish the seed they want.
This feature alone makes the Corn
Show a great educational institution
and serves as an invaluable aid to the
farmers in securing grain for use the
coming year. There are other fea-
lures which together with the show
make attendance at Columbia during
this time the most profitable vacation
any farmer can take.
In addition to the annual meeting
Of the Corn Growers Association, at
which lectures will be given by Wis
iting farmers from Illinois and Indi-
ana. many other lectures and demon
strations pertaining to the production
and handling of grain will be given.
There are classes for bows as well
as for men in the Corn Show and
there will be a regular course of lee
lures for the boys throughout the
week.
Consider these things! This is the
year when seed grain of all sorts will
be at premium and all farmers with
good seed for sale should give the peo-
pie a chance to know they have it.
Do not delay any longer as entries
close December 25th, 1916.
Premium lists, entry blanks and any
other information will be sent upon
application to j. G. Hackleman, Act
ing Secretary, Missouri Corn Growers

If the fire bell should ring would
YOU run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should no more try to Suppress it than
to stop the fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t Is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
