Today is your day and mine; the only day we have; the day in which we play our part. What our part may signify ill the great whole we may not understand; but we are here to play it, and aow is Our time. This we know !: 1t is part of action, not of whining. It is part of love, not cyniclsm. It is for us to express love in terms of hu- man helpfulness. This we know, for we have learned from sad experience that any other course of life feads to- ward decay and waste.-David Starr Jordan.

WILLIAM S. BENSON IS NOW ADMIRAL
NOTED CATHOLIC NAVAL OFF,
GER RISES TO HIGHEST POST.

Rear Admiral William S. Benson,
chief of naval operations, with rank
of Rear Admiral, has been promoted
to the rank of Admiral, in accordance
with the provisions of the naval bill,
which President Wilson signed on
Aug. 20. This will give him the
same rank as Admiral Dewey, the
only two officers of the United States
navy who enjoy the distinction of hav-
ing that high rank.
AS chief of naval operations Adj
miral Benson holds one of the most
important positions under the govern
ment, as he has to do with the assign
ment and movement of all the ships
of the navy. He is one of the best
known and most popular of all our
Catholic officers in both arms of the
service. He is a native of Georgia,
and will retire on account of age on
Sept. %, 1917.
During the recent debate on the
naval appropriation bill he was called
before Congress to give some inn
portant data relative to the United
States navy.

A NCIENT SHRINE S
COMING BACK TO CATHOLIC
HANDS IN ENGLAND.

On behalf of the Right Rev. Prior
Cummins, o. S. B., st. Mary, Knares-
Doro', the rock-hewn oratory, known
as the Chapel of st. Robert, at
knaresboro', together with a proper
ty adjoining, was bought at auction
recently for 9327 los. The chapel
formed part of the Slingsby estate.
When advocating in our columns re-
Gently that some Catholic of antiquar-
ian tastes should make an effort to
restore this ancient shrine to Catholic
hands, Prior Cummins wrote concern
ing it:
Popular and modern error calls it
st. Robert Chapel; with him, how
ever, it never had any connection.
In Catholic days it was known as Our
Lady of the Cragg, or Our Lady of
the Quarry; and the deed is still ex-
tant in the Castle, by which Henry
~, as Duke of Lancaster, grants IL
cense TO John the Mason to make and
to hold the chapel at so much per
annum; this was 200 years after ST.
Roberts time"

story of Eugene Aram, and a pic

(JnO. III, 81. If infants, then, are to
be saved they also must be baptized
That Our Lord wishes their salvation
is evident since He died for all, and
from His words intended specifically
for little children. And they brought
unto Him also infants, that He might
touch them. Which when the Apos-
ties saw, they "rebuked them" But
Jesus said to them: Suffer the little
children, and forbid them not to come
to me; for the kingdom of heaven is
for such" duke XVIII, Is and Mat.
XIX, 40. If Christ wishes to receive
into His kingdom little children, even
infants, have We right to withhold
Baptism, the one means appointed by
Christ through which any one can
come to Him? The Catholic Church,
Christs authorized representative on
earth, has answered the question IN
the negative. Nor did the Apostles
hesitate to administer Baptism to all
in the household, both old and young.
ST. Paul baptized Lydia and her house
hold, the keeper of the prison and all
his house. (Acts, XVI, Is and 33).
Again he says, Il baptized the house
hold of Stephanus." q Cor. I, 16).
Christian tradition on the necessity of
infant baptism is clear and uniform,
and reaches back even to the time of
Christ. Origen tells us that 'the
Church received from the Apostles
the tradition of giving Baptism also
to infants" ST. Augustine says Of
infant baptism: This the Church
always had, always held; this she re-
ceived from the faith of our ances-
tors; this she perseveringly guards
even to the end" st. Cyprian; From
baptism and grace the infant must
not be kept" 1t is the general dis
cipline of the Church that the first
Sunday after the birth of the child,
is the day on which the child should
be brought to the Church and bap-
tized. If there is danger of death
even this delay should not be made.
Baptism should be administered i'm
mediately, by priest if he is at hand,
otherwise by a lay person.

A DENVER PH|LANTHROP|ST
HOME FOR THE AGED.

J. K. Mullen, well-knOwn Denver
purchased two tracts of land in North
Denver, upon one of which he is plan
ming to erect home for the aged.
One tract consists of two city
blocks on West Twenty-ninth avenue
between Lowell boulevard and New
ton street, near st. Clara's orphanage,
and the other consists of fifteen acres
facing Lowell boulevard and extend
ing between West Forty-fourth ave-
nue. and st. Vincent's orphanage. 1t
is understood he will build upon the
site near st. Clara's orphanage.
Mr.. Mullen planned some time ago
to endow home for the aged poor
in which a number of buildings were
to be erected. Some of these were to
be individual cottages where aged
couples could spend their declining
days together. 1t was estimated at
the time that the buildings would cost
between $250,000 and 100000. Mr..
Mullen has been in conference with
his architects, H. J. Manning and F..
w. Frewen, Jr., who are in charge of
the plans. Mr.. Frewen said last
week that the plans were under way,
but still in an embryonic stage.
Mr.. Mullen's plans originally were
to endow the home with a gift of
100000 as an initial fund. The home
itself is to be under the supervision
of the Little Sisters of the Poor, a
branch of which order will come to
Denver to manage the institution.
The land purchased by Mr.. Mullen
was acquired from Mrs. Jean Arvis
Wolff and H. G. Wolff. The con-
sideration in the deeds was given as
81. The total investment in the land
and buildings will be, it is estimated,
at least 100000.

] DAN OF ARC
TWO OF HER AUTOGRAPH SIGMA
TUREs IN VIGEAU CHATEAU.

All credulous and believing France,
the New York Times, thinks today
that the country is being saved by
Jeanne dare" AS Marie Van Worst
says in her "War Letters OF an
American Woman" lust think of it
in the twentieth century when the
war is being fought in the air and
under the sea there remains enough
of spiritual faith to believe that the
salvation of country comes through
prayer"
In this connection it is of interest
to note that two autograph signatures
of Jeanne dare exist in the archives
of the French family of de Maleissye
at the chateau of Vigeau, near
Rheims. The Marquis de Maleissye is
descendant of the eldest brother of
the maid and following is the story
of his autographs:
The Marquis ancestor, Charles du
Lys, born in 1859, was descended in
the fifth degree from this eldest
brother of the maid, Jacquemin,
whom Charles VII had ennobled un-
der the name of du Lys. Charles du
Lys was a famous magistrate who
collected all the documents relating
to his family history. These docu-
ments are now in the Marquis de
Maleissye's possession. In 1880 the
Marquis great-grandfather added a
room to his chateau of Vigeau, in
which were gathered all of Jeanne
d'Arcs relics.

The harmony between church and

an old letter of Thomas Jefferson to

is one of two of Mr.. Jefferson's in

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS IN THE
CATHEDRAL ARCHIVES AT
BALTIMORE.

The theft of the original letter,
written by George Washington to the
Catholics of the United States re-
veals the fact that in a fireproof vault
beneath the sanctuary of the Balti-
more Cathedral are kept about $4,000
rare old documents and important
papers relating to affairs of Maryland
and Baltimore during the past 300
years. These are now being indexed,
that historians may more quickly find
documents out of which to write the
history of the Church in this country.

Among the curios and treasures of
the cathedral archives is an old map
OF the United States, drawn by Bishop
Brute in 1915. 1t is on the scale of
100 miles to an inch, and embraces
the United States which was then
only east of the Mississippi river.

for each state and territory for the
years 1890 and 1910 and adds the
number of priests in each. In only
