OF London, Ontario, to whose interest
and zeal the new foundation is largely
owing, preached an eloquent discourse.
The occasion was also memorable for
being the first centenary Of the foun-
dation of the Oblates of Mary Immacu-
late by Bishop Mazenod of Marseilles.
suIpicians at the University.
The Sulpician Fathers of st. Mary's
Seminary, Baltimore, have decided to
open at the University a house Of
studies for the advanced students of
their Seminary, and hope to have the
new edifice completed by next fall
The Baltimore Seminary is greatly
crowded, and the new foundation at
the University will relieve the conges-
ton at st. Mary's through the transfer
to Washington of the fourth year theo-
logians. The Sulpicians will also open
at the same time their scholasticate,
in connection with the new house of
ecclesiastical studies. They have an
excellent site Of ten acres quite close
to the University, and propose to erect
their seminary in style similar to the
University's new group of buildings.
This will bring together at the gates
of the University four communities of
teachers, Dominicans, Paulists, OBJ
lates and Sulpicians. In all there are
now eleven religious bodies at the Uni
versity, each with it's own land and
buildings, not to speak of Trinity Col
lege and the Sisters College. There
is not, and never was, any similar de-
velopment of religious life in touch
with all the academic advantages of
great school Of higher studies.
Visit of Federated AIumnae.
The month closed with the happiest
imaginable event, the visit to the Uni
versity Of nearly two thousand Cath
Ole ladies, delegates and visitors to
the memorable Second Biennial Con-
vention of the international Federation
of Catholic Alumnae at Baltimore.
They were received by the rector and
faculties of the University After Wis
iting its buildings, the museum, etc,
lunch was served in the noble room of
Graduates Hall, and later many paid
a visit to the neighboring Catholic Sis
ters' College, an affiliated institution
of the University and conducted by its
professors. They also visited Trinity
College, and admired the constant
progress of this affiliated school of the
University where over $50 young
ladies receive a superior collegiate
training, with the cooperation of the
University. 1t was remarked on all
sides that never had the general Cath
Ollie character and service of the Uni
versity been more tangible than dur
ing the festivities of these pleasant
weeks.

A Story By Paul Bourget
ATHEISM AND FAITH CON.
TRASTED.

Paul Bourgeois conversion to the
faith has not hindered his productiv-
ity. But those who could not find
suitable words to praise him in the
days of his darkness are now found
to question his claim to be a great
writer. There is no doubt of his in
fluence over the French people, nor
can We find fault with his beauty of
expression. In his latest story, THE
Night COmeth," an American transla-
ton of which has just been published,
Bourget uses the war as a background
to show the contrast in two concep-
lions OF death. We find Michael
Ortegue, an orthodox scientist and a
great surgeon facing death, and that
which to him is the greater calamity,
separation from his young wife, with
whom he is profoundly in love. Orte-
que is an atheist, and he urges his
wife to make a death pact with him.
Opposed to the scientific and material
istic Ortegue, is the young wounded
officer, LIE Calls, Madame Ortegues
cousin, who believes in the unknown.
in the formulate of religion, as firmly
as Ortegue disbelieves. In the narra-
ton of final passion of death-two
deaths so strangely contrasted-Bour-
get rises to the climax of rare artistic
creation. One feels that Catherine
Ortegue is France hesitating between
her loyalty to science and the relig-
ious nostalgia that the war has poured
into her heart. Bourget questions
whether death has not a significance
elsewhere than on earth. To Ortegue
death was catastrophe phenomenon;
to LIE Calls, a contamination. Which
OF these two hypothesis is utilizable?
Bourget WITHSTAND here we must re-
member the fact of his own religious
conversion-that no one can prove ey-
perimentally that the faith of relig-
fous belief in the future is not well
founded. Our very pain "in the search
after truth is prayer. When we feel
the need of God, it is because He is
quite close to u.s."

Our Lady OF The Advent.

How beautiful the dawn!
Up sweeps Aurora wondrous fair
Like mistress of some feast
In dance and music in the halls of air
Waking all natures fold to share

To your sweet lips | hold,
That you may fairer blush and bow
When comes the King foretold
Ye songbirds, catch the harmonies

Outpoured from my Orient harp of

For now she heard upon the margent
The golden footsteps of her royal Son;
And brighter grew and gayer waxed
her melody,
Till 10! the child resplendent leaps

His mothers breast-the newborn
King of Day.
Aurora holds him up aloft in gIee
Then hides her in his glory modestly,
So Mary, you appear to me,
These Advent days, yelled in your
maiden purity,
Resplendent meath the Spirits mystic
thrall;
Brighter and brighter e'er the lights
of heaven shine
In every glance, in every smile of
thine;
Gladder and gladder e'er resounds
your call
To us who feverish wait--yea, wait
and pine.
Come, sing the Dawning Day; bestir
you, all
Ye hearts that flower-like wilt and
fade
Beneath the Frostwind's smarting
blade;
Rise up and Downward turn, the
Mother calls.
Ye songbird hearts, drink in the
melody that falls
Mellifiuous from her lips thrice-blest.
For now upon her Virgin breast,
The King of Light abides.
In every heart let Him but reign and
rest!
She says-and his glory hides:
In every heart, yea, letfHim reign and

His Mother but am I;-yet Nations

A NEW SULPICIAN
SEMINARY
A BRANCH OF ST. MARY's SEM
MARY OF BALTIMORE WILL BE
OPENED NEAR THE CATHOLIC
UNIVERSITY.

On the Feast of the Presentation,
November q, ST. Mary's Seminary,
Baltimore, celebrated it's 125th ami
versary. According to custom, the
community of priests and students, to-
gether with many priests of the do
cese and even from distance, includ-
ing seven bishops, gathered around
the altar of the Seminary Chapel to
renew the clerical promises, first made
on the day the young seminarian re-
ceives Tonsure. This impressive cere-
mony was presided over by His Emf
hence Cardinal Gibbons, who ever
since his ordination, in June, 1861, has
maintained with the priests and stu
dents of his Alma Mater the most cor
dial relations and who never fails to
take part in the gatherings of her
alumni.
At dinner the Cardinal announced
that it had been decided to open a
branch of ST. Mary's Seminary at
Washington, near the University.
This new house will serve as house
of studies for those preparing IT, be-
come Sulpicians, and will provide for
the students of the fourth year of
theology. A probable later develop
ment of the Washington house may
be to receive also such students as
may look forward to postgraduate
work at the University after the COM
pletion of their elementary studies.
The prospects of final year at Wash
ington would doubtless determine
certain number of students to come to
st. Mary's, Baltimore. for their SEM
mary studies. 1t Is hoped the estab-
Iishment of the course win provide a
better rounded out and more thorough
course, thereby adding to the efficien-

dination, and better realization of
what is going on at the University
will doubtless induce many to prolong
their student life after they are
priests. Besides, the interest of the
University cannot help being further
ed by the knowledge which st. Mary's
numerous pupils, who will come from
all parts of the country, will acquire
of its aspirations, achievements and
needs.
