CATHOLIC PROGRESS IN DENMARK
NEW MISSIONS oPENED-NEW
HOSPITAL ERECTED - FIRST
PRIEST SINCE THE REFoRMA-
TON NOW AT BoRNHoLM.

From Denmark comes a tale of
Catholic progress slow but sure. Two
cities, Odensen and Randers, have
recently asked for and obtained the
erection of Catholic hospitals which
are in charge of the Sisters of st.
Joseph. At Randers the project of
the province was present at the in.
auguration of the hospital. The new
project of that city is not Catholic,
as was his predecessor, now at Copen-
hagen. The latter has just been
prosecuted by the government for an
article he wrote after reading the
work of the Danish Catholic writer
Jorgensen, entitled "The Bell Ro-
land" which treats of Belgium and
recent events. In his article in the
"Vortland" the project spoke in such
strong terms of the sacking of Lou
vain and Dinant that, fearing to offend
a powerful neighbor, the government
prosecuted him, but offered him a
free pardon. This he refused, saying
he was an old soldier of 1864, and
had meant every word he had said
Despite the cessation of missionary
funds from outside, new missions have
been started. In the island of Born
holm the first priest since the Ref
ormation has taken up his residence.
He will serve a largely Polish popula-
ton who work there. Danish Catho-
lies are sacrificing themselves to keep
the missions alive.

WHY EASTER IS LATE
1T is FIXED BY THE DATE OF THE
FIRST FULL MOON ON OR
AFTER MARCH 81.

Easter Sunday will appear on al
most the latest possible date this year
April %. Ash Wednesday and Eas-
ter Sunday were established by the
Council of Nice, A. D. 1876, the former
always to occur As days in advance
of Easter Sunday and the latter to be
fixed by solar and lunar calculations.
Easter Day shall occur, according to
the Nicene laws, annually on the first
Sunday on or after the first full moon
on or after the vernal equinox, which
always is March 81.
This indicates that the earliest
date on which Easter may fall is
March 81. The latest date is April
25 Ash Wednesday this year fell on
March s, and Easter Sunday on April
%. The next period in which Ash
Wednesday will fall as late as March
5 is the year 2106 A. ID.
Another event noteworthy because
of its uniqueness this year is the be,
ginning of the year on Saturday and
it's ending on Sunday. This gives the
year SO Saturdays. This would occur
regularly every % years except that
the compilers of the Gregorian calen-
dar provided that centuries not divisi-
BILE evenly by four shall not be leap
years. Hence, when such century
occurs, as did 1900, there is lapse of
forty years between leap years that
begin on Saturday and end on Sunday.

ORIGIN OF THE SHAMROCK
THE TREFoiL WAS HELD SACRED
IN IRELAND BEFORE THE TIME
OF ST. MISUNDERSTANDING
OF THE HOLY TRINITY.

A recent writer reminds us, says
the Catholic Telegraph, that few
pause to reflect that the chosen leaf
of bard and chief was probably ven.
Grated before the coming of ST.. Pat.
rick. Yet it is certain, he continues,
that such was the case; and, more.
over, that it was for this very reason
that the great apostle used the sham
rock to illustrate his forever memoir
able sermon, his first appeal to the
people Of Ireland. If, as seems likely,
tn saint was influenced in his choice
of the shamrock as an emblem of the
Trinity by the fact that the trefoil
was already held sacred by the Irish,
it is but one more example of the tact
and good sense for which he was so
justly celebrated.
n 1t was the emblem of the vernal
equinox with the Druids, who were
all powerful at the epoch of st. Pat.
rick's arrival there. 1t is all the
more easy to believe that the trefoil
was venerated in pre-Christian Ire,
land, when we reflect upon the
antiquity of the Irish race and it's
Oriental origin; for the shamrock,
or its equivalent, was held sacred
in the east from the earliest times.
Nor is it surprising that this should
be SO, when we bear in mind that
the significance given to the trefoil,
even in pre-Christian times, was in.
variably that of three contained in
one, and that the mystery of the
Adorable Trinity was worshipped in
the Garden of Eden.
1t is certain that the trefoil was re,
garded as emblematic of the Holy
Trinity long before the advent of
paganism gave any other meaning to
it. And it is possible that in the
veneration of the e-Christian Irish
for the trefoil something was re-
tanned of that lost faith in the one
true God inherited from their remote
ancestors. Indeed, it seems scarcely
too much to say that the unanimity
with which the Christian significa.
ton of the trefoil was accepted by
the pagan Irish points not so much
to the birth Of new belief as to the
revival of an old one, that had not
been dead. but was sleeping, till at
the voice of st. Patrick it awoke, to
sleep never more.
1t was honored as the Irish national
emblem for over a thousand years
before the English adopted the rose
or the Scotch the thistle.
1t is an interesting fact that medi-
9eval artists frequently represented
the angel Gabriel as presenting a tire.
foil to the Blessed Virgin 1t is well
known that Fra Angelica was fond of
introducing the trefoil into his pic
lures of the crucifixion.
The trefoil emblem on the heads of
Isis and Osiris, worshipped by the
Egyptians; the triple-leaved palasa,
held sacred in India, and the pres
ence Of the trefoil in the ancient
crowns of both Persia and Ireland are
so many connecting links. according

| IN their own powers. We have eX-

consideration. Friend and foe have
gracefully favored us with their testi-
mony. The pagans Pliny, Tacitus,

the Christian Paul, each has fur.
nished his little link in the unbreak.
able chain of evidence attesting the
existence of Our Lord.
Considering the content and the
history of Christianity, we find that
both would be meaningless without
Christ. For around Him we center
all our faith; He it is in Whom we
hope; and in Him alone does our love
find it's perfect object. In other
words, in Him our intellect, our will,
and our hearts find complete salts
faction; by Him and through Him we
live. His Body and Blood furnishes
our souls with the strength to strive
on towards Him, it's final destiny.
Without Him our religion would be
less than hollow mockery; it
would be gigantic fraud. Deprive
Christianity of Christ, it's Founder,
and the world would come tumbling
upon us like a house of cards. In
an instant, every spark of courage,
every beam of enthusiasm would
flee. There would be naught to live
for;-for take away the Consider and
what compensation would there be
for the ills of life. And after death
humiliation. God, in His goodness,
would never have allowed such a
gigantic deception to gain Roadway.
Hence we see that both internal
and external evidence with regard to
Christianity, demand the existence
of Jesus, it's Founder and it's Center;
the existence of the Teacher, Whose
doctrines stand unsurpassed through
out all the ages; the existence of a
Guide, Whose footsteps alone we can
safely follow; the existence of a.
Master, Who alone can adequately re-
ward or punish us according to our
merits; the existence of Saviour,
Who alone could rescue us from the
evils of this world, and not merely
from the physical, but also from the
moral evil-sin. They demand in
other words the existence of Christ,
not merely human, but divine as we'll;
OF Christ, the Son of God.

MANY IN DANGER OF
AUTOS ON STREET

Palafox street, between Chase and
Garden streets, and the north side
Of Garden street between Bru and
Palafox streets, are frequented by
hundreds of people during the hours
when the shows are open to the pub
lie, and many are in almost constant
danger Of the passing autos. It is
against the ordinances for autos to
take the west side of Palafox when
bound north, or the north side of
Garden street when going east, but
as it is, people overflow into the
streets, and children especially are
in almost constant danger of being
hurt by possibly some reckless au-
toist, hence it was suggested last
night that the police take immediate
steps to have street regulation of
traffic at that point.
