Still another comes forward

lives at 300 Fourth Avenue,
South Nashville, says she suffer-

was finally pronounced cancer of

that she had fallen off as result
of the trouble until she weighed
only SO pounds, but that she
now weighs lis, gain of 10

CARE FOR ORP HANS
ANSWER TO SEVERAL QUESTIONS
WITH REGARD TO THE HOUSE
OF THE GooD SHEPHERD.

During the past week The Catho.
lie Bulletin has received request
for answers to several questions with
regard to the work being done by the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd of st.
Paul.
Inasmuch as there is campaign
this week to raise $3.50, 900 for much
needed improvements at the House of
the Good Shepherd, we consider it
worth while giving more prominence
to these questions than they would
receive in the Question Box.
The questions are: First, does the
House of the Good Shepherd take
care of orphans? Second, do they
take care of girls from other cities?
Third, Who pays. for the support of
such girls?
Having consulted the authorities of
the institution we can answer:
First, the House of the Good Shep-
herd does take care of orphan girls.
AS rule, however, they prefer not
to receive any girls under twelve
years of age.
1t should be noted, however, that
the House of the Good Shepherd is
not an orphanage. The Sisters re-
ceive young girls who have not fallen
but who are in danger, whether they
be orphans or not. These girls be.
long to the Preservation class, and
arc kept entirely separated from the
Oirlc in tho poFnrrau4 4rr,, oloe, ,>1a,,
pying different building.
Second, the Sisters receive girls
from whatever quarter they may be
sent. AS no distinction is made for
race or creed or color, SO likewise no
regard is paid to the place of origin
or the cities whence girls committed
to their care may come,
Third, the Sisters of the Good Shep-
herd, as rule, do not receive pay
for any of the girls or orphans COM
mitted to their charge If persons
committing such charges to the Sis
ters are able to pay something, they
are expected to do So This, however,

ARCHBISHOP SztPTYcKI
METROPOLITAN OF LEMRERG,
TAKEN PRISONER BY RUS
slAf4s, DIES AT kIEv.

One of the tragedies CT the war is
the death of Monsignor SzeptycM,
Greco-Rutbenian Archbishop and Met
ropolitan of Lemberg, which is an
nounced by the newspapers of that
city. The son of Count John Szep-
tycki, a prominent public man in Ca
lica, Monsignor Szeptycki acquired a
good deal of influence early in his
clerical life. In 1899 he was raised
to the episcopal rank and year later
he was appointed Metropolitan of
Lemberg.
When the Russians entered Galicia
he was taken prisoner, sent to Russia
and interned at Kiev. Various efforts
were made to secure his release, but in
vain. The late Bishop of the Ruthen-
ians in the United States appealed to
the Car TO set him free and permit
him TO go to the States. The petition
was not answered. Latterly the Arch
bishop was allowed to engage in liter
ary work. He devoted himself to it,
but the confinement told on his health,
and he gradually lost strength until

RECENT LETTER FROM THE
APOSTOLIC DELEGATE.

Right Reverend Mgr. Wurst, of
Wabasha, Mimi, read before the re-
cent German Catholic convention at
Sleepy Eye, letter which he re.
ceived from Archbishop Bonzano on
the subject Of secret societies:
1911 Biltmore Street,
Washington, D. c., Sept. Is, 1916.
Right Rev, Mgr Max Wurst,
st. Felix's Church,
Wabasha, Mimi.
Rt. Rev. and dear Monsignor:
The letter which you addressed to
me on the 10Th of September, last
year, came duly to hand, but was set
aside for the moment as it did not
seem to require an urgent reply and
also because other urgent affairs
claimed my attention at that time. 1t
then totally escaped my memory un-
til your recent communication Of the
5th instant came to remind me of
it and to request an answer. | at once
looked it up and now, after having
carefully considered its subject, | am
able to send you an answer.
Besides the secret societies express
ly forbidden by the Church, there un-
doubtedly are, according TO your quo
tations on the subject from pontifical
documents, many other non-Catholic
secret societies from which the Church
wishes and urges her children to alb
stain, although she has not put them
under ban.
That Catholics and even priests
have presumed to enter such secret
non-C Catholic organizations is not a
proof that they are commendable and
without danger. but rather that such
individuals regard not the warning of
the Church. And that the Church does
not approve the entrance of priests
in these societies is evident to me
from the fact that recently priest,
who had been proposed for a high
Office, was excluded therefrom simply
because he was a member of one of
these societies.
The German Catholic Aid Associa-
tion did wise thing to insert in its
Constitution the provision whereby
No person who is member of any
secret non-Catholic association, or
who, after initiation in the German
Catholic Aid Association, joins any
secret non-Catholic association shall
be eligible either to regular or auxil-
iary membership or remain member
in good standing in the association. /"

and to seethat 1t is strictly enforced,
because 1t will thus assist in attain.

THE HOME OF OUR RELIGIOUS
AND CIVIL FREEDOM.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
William L. j. Griffin, B. S.,
A. M, o. D. S.

The most historical spot in the
United States is independence Hall,
Philadelphia. 1t is the birthplace of
our Civil Liberty.
William Penn founded the City of
Philadelphia, his holy experiment" :"
fundamental" as he declared, of re-
ligious libGrty-"thc right ,of every
one TO worship God as he deemed
best, wholly unrestricted by civil au-
thority." BY this he declared he
meant "the open and public observ-
anceS of all religious practices which
the inhabitants coming to his prov
ince should believe to be proper .
William Penn had suffered for relig-
ious liberty. He did not wish others
to be prosecuted for openly practicing
their religious beliefs. To this prin-
ciple William Penn ever remained
true. He was indeed the Friend of
Catholics.
The Declaration of Independence
was proclaimed from independence
Hall and read publicly by John Dixon,
on July Sth, 1776. The Declaration
stated, "the colonies are and of right
ought to be free and independent" "
These words were used five hundred
years before. Are and of right ought
to be" arc the words Pope Boniface
VIII uttered to Philip the Fair of
France. The King claimed to be in
dependent of all human authority.
Boniface replied, Let not the French
say in their pride that they have no
superior. They lie. For of right they
are and ought to be subject to the
Roman King and the Emperor 1t
was Prof. William A. Dunning, of Co
lumbia University, who traced the
words to Pope Boniface VIII. 1t was
these words that made the United
States.
The passage Of the Quebec Act OF
1174, as the Colonies viewed it, estab.
lished Popery in Canada. The Act
simply gave the clergy the right they
had possessed prior to 1863 The pas
sage of the Quebec Act aroused the
anti-Catholic spirit; they declared
"Popery was established in Canada
and the clergy entitled to exact tithes
for the support of Popery" The Col
onists believed that this act would lat
er be resorted to over the Colonies
south of Canada.
To prevent this, they took down
their arms, not at first to defend their
homes, but to rush to Canada to cap
turc that country if possible, to gain
it in alliance il not in union. The
public mind had for a generation be
fore the Revolution been concerned
with the Canadian Catholics. Bitter
ness was aroused by the Dissenters oi
New England, and the Presbyterians
of tho other Colonies when the Que

The teams of men and of women
who are doing the actual work OF
soliciting funds in the House of the
Good Shepherd building campaign are
making strenuous efforts to reach the
goal set for them. Since the openinG
or the campaign on Thursday, October

enthusiasm which promises well for
us ultimate success. Already over
$4,000 has been secured and it is OK
pected that considerable number OF
large contributions will be turned in
before the campaign closes on Monday
evening, October %.

Veloped among the different teams
Up to the time of going to press the
team captained by E. NJ. Lohmaan has
held the championship banner in the
mems division for the largest amount
secured each day. In the womens di.
vision no single team has held the ban
ner for more than one day. In addi-
tion to the workers the evening lunch
con has been attended by the Most
Reverend Archbishop, many of the
priests of the city, and members Of
the Executive Committee. The Most
Reverend Archbishop and others have
spoken encouragingly to the campaign
ers, exhorting them to continue their
labor of love until the total amount is
secured. The Right Reverend John z.
Carroll, Bishop of Helena, was present
at one of the luncheons and made
an address to the solicitors, urging
them to devote themselves unreserted-

campaign
