WORKING GIRLS HOME
REVEREND j. j. BURKE PRESENTS
COMFORTABLE BUILDING FOR
GIRLS IN PEORIA.

Sunday afternoon, October %, was
marked in Peoria, Illinois, by the
dedicatory services at St Marks Hall,
the new home for girls, the gift of
the Rev. j. J. Burke, T. r., St, Marks
Church. The home is the first one
of the kind in that part Of the state,
one of the few such halls under Cath
Ollie auspices in the country. 1t is
intended as a home for girls from out
OF town who work or go to school in
Peoria, where all the comforts and
protection of a real home will be af-
forded them. The hall will be in
charge of the Sisters of st. Fran

and well-being of the inmates. It will
be gratifying to all who have contrib
nted to know that, through their
benevolence, many souls will be bene-
fitted, not only at the present time
bnt for years to come, and these dear
friends have doubtless experienced
that the sweetest joys of life are to
be found in making others happy.
In fine, the gratitude of the Sisters
to each and all of the reapers and to
those who gave Of their plenty or of
their scanty store, is too deep for ade-
quate expression in words, their only
resource being, TO beg our Heavenly
Father Who graciously Wills that we
be united In the sweet bonds of fra
ternal charity, to bestow abundant
benedictions upon each and all who
contributed in any way to bring about
the grand results now on record,

task rarely attempted. By virtue
of this quality Father Byrne's volume
takes its place with such loved and
Bishop Bellord's Meditations on Chris
tian Dogma, and Father Faber's,
Blessed Sacrament; yet it occupies Il
place Of its own.
Poetry is, ideally, the language OF
the heart, and the lucid, impressive
prose not infrequently rises to the
ardour and sublmity of poetry as the
facile style of the writer responds to
the inspiration of his subject In con-
sidering the circumstances under
which st. Paul was obliged to preach
the doctrine of the Resurrection to
minds i'll prepared by pagan philosophy
to receive such a notion, there occurs
this passage:
In the view Of st. Paul, the whole
world was groaning and in pangs look
ing to perfection it had never at
tanned. In our own time we know
perhaps more of the groaning of mat
ter We know of stars that are evOlv-
ing and Of stars that are decaying:
we know of the fierce splashing and
Surging of the matter of the sun; Of
the currents and of the counter-cur-
rents, whirlpoOlS and storms OF the
sea and air; Of the quaking OF the
earth and its burning up within; of
the restless energy OF the elements
cIasping and loosening one another;
in word, of the cOsmic disorder in
the marvellous order and harmony of
the universe, as if it's progress we're
arrested at some essential point, and
it were cast into the throes Of death.
We can see in all this turmoil Of the
elements something corresponding to
the pains and groaning of the human
body which demands Surcease from
pain. But if the present writings of
the elements point to a new world that
will be much better than this, how
much more does the recoil of the flesh
from tho thought of death demand a
new creation" Here is a power,
truly Shelleyan, of suggesting the i'm
measurable immensities of space and
of natural forces.
But love rises to it's fullest powers
of expression in revealing anew the
lncarnate Love contained in the Sa.
cred Heart:
Now like the great sun is the great
love OF the Infinite God, who, accord
ing to the Apostle, inhabiteth light
inaccessible, whom no man hath seen
nor can see 1t is reflected on earth
in the pure love of men, it is reflected
in heaven in the glory of the saints,
but it is as distinct from either as the
sunshine is from the sun itself. And
as tho sun is superior to all the effects
it produces, SO Gods love is infinitely
superior to the charity of the saints
and angels Yet this divine love, so
great, so overwhelming, so infinite,
has formed unto itself a dwelling
place, 1t is the Heart of Jesus"
Holy Church, now as in every age
since God, the Holy Ghost, first gave
her corporate life, has power to in.
spire in her devoted children tributes
of ecstatic love. What more convinc-
ing testimony could there be to the
enduring beauty, youth and vigor of
the Living Spouse of Christ? The
laity has no more precious heritage
from the hidden life of it's consecrated
pastors than such books of Christian
meditations, to the number of which
Father Byrnes Christmas and Easter
Chimes is notable addition.

The somewhat fanciful title, Christ
mas and Easter Chimes" under which
the Very Reverend James c. Byrne
v c., is bringing out his volume Of
meditations upon the dogmas of Our
blessed Lords Incarnation, Passion
and Resurrection, gives slight hint Of
the profound, yet passionate nature of
the content Of this beautiful little vol
ume. (E. VI. LOhmann Company, st.
Paul. November, 1850
The coming and passing Of the Son
0t Cod in the semblance OF man is the
paramount event in the history Of the
world This is not alone the leading
statement OF the foreword; it is the
ever recurring burden OF the melody
flowing in an unceasing canticle of
praise from chapter to chapter till the
authors message is complete:
"All, all should now reioice!" he de-
clares in the first chapter, The Virgin
and Child, THE Son of God has ap-
peared in the form Of man and there
by has conferred on human nature a
dignity which makes this vesture Of
clay Gurpass in beauty the gorgeous
VeSture OF kings" And in the last
chapter entitled, The Easter Above,
after dwelling upon the inexpressible
rewards God has promised to those
who love Him, he asks:
rs all this a dream? a vision never

that glorious promise. I am thy

of the hidden Christ guarantees the

tion can ignore scientific criticism,

raised her torch aloft and flashed light

legend and myth, to be set aside in a
consideration of this importance

One of the services of the book is
assuredly its rare quality of emotional

it be some telling fact of history, OIL
some salient bit of dogma to be made
emphatic, the matter is addressed pri
marily 10 the heart. The difficulty OF

Pope Benedict XIV has addressed a
letter to His Eminence Cardinal Begin,
Archbishop of Quebec, and to the
other Archbishops and Bishops of the
Dominion of Canada. The letter takes
up the question which has agitated
French Canadians in different parts Of
the Dominion with regard to the use
of the French and English languages
His Holiness reviews the controversy
and Its various points with regard to
the employment of English and of
French in the schools and in the
churches. He points out that the civil
government of Ontario, where the
chief difficulty seems to rise, has a
perfect right to demand that the chill
dren in private as well as in Epublic
schools be given a thorough training
in the, English language. On the other
hand, he notes that the French Catbo.
lies cannot be condemned for reduir-
ing that their children be also instruct.
ed in the French tongue. He adds.
In the contentious that divide Canadi-
an Catholics regarding the rights and
usage of the two languages in their
churches and in their Catholic schools,
Judgment rests with the. Bishops, and
especially with the Bishops of the dio-
ceses where dissensions are particu-
larly acute" After exhorting the
Bishops to meet together to weigh and
consider this important matter, His
Holiness says: IF for any reason the
question cannot be settled and finished
by their ruling, let them bring 1t to
the Holy See, where the issue will be
finally decided in accordance with the
laws Of justice and charity"
