Societies work hand in hand with the
Protestant Evangelical Alliance and

GOOD SHEPHERD CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS

ing cup from the hands of the Most
Reverend Archbishop. These loving
cups win bear suitable inscription,
with the names of the captain and
members of the winning team and the
date of the campaign.
Mr.. Sheffield, in n brief address,
thanked all who had contributed to the
snccess OF the campaign-the Most
Reverend Archbishop, the members of
the clergy, the Executive Committee,
the newspapers, the Ryan Hotel man.
agement, and especially the captains
and workers whose enthusiasm, self
sacrifice and unselfsh cooperation in
the actual work of soliciting the fund
had made the campaign an unqualified
success. He announced that the grand
total of the ten days work was $751;
000.19, splendid record under the cir
cumstanceS and in view of the many
calls made upon the people of st. Paul
for charitable and other purposes.
The final address was given by the
Most Reverend Archbishop who, on be-
half of the Sisters of the Good Shep-
herd, complimented the workers on
their success, praised their unSelfiSh
devotion to the cause, and thanked
them for the splendid work they had
done for charity's sweet sake" He
paid fitting tribute to the Director,
Mr.. Sheffield, whose organizing ability
he eulogiZed, to whose genius for de-
tail work he attributed the success of
the campaign. His was the mind that
had mapped opt the plan of campaign
and directed the workers, instructing
them how to present in the most effect
i've manner the cause they represent
ed. His was the enthusiasm which in
spired all who were interested in the
campaign to make it the notable sue
for his arduous and effective work and
complimented him on the great sue
cess achieved under his direction.
Since the campaign closed last Mon
day night several large donations have
been received at the American Nation
al Bank, the depository of the fund,
one of which amounts to $1,000. A
promise of several other large contri-
buttons to be made during the next few
days has been given by persons who
are interested in the campaign. In ad
dition TO these large number of small
eF, titsTiati0as have haeA received.
These will probably increase the grand
total to about $4,000, and thus make
the campaign a noteworthy success.
OF the $4,000 reported at the final
meeting, the women's teams secured
$35 5,6191S; the mems teams, $l5,581 90;
the Executive Committee, $23,4S9.09;
and 1910 was received from contribu-
tors in Minneapolis.

Last week the Sisters of Charity OF

Of st. Mary's Infirmary, one of the larg.

Solemn High Mass was sung by the
Right Reverend N. A. Gallagher, Bish-

ute was paid to the Sisters and their
work by the Very Rev. j. M. Kirwin,
Vicar General of the Diocese. On DC.

the Right Reverend Cornelius Van de

Foulkes, s. J., of st. Mary's Univer-
sity, Galveston.
The Congregation Of the Sisters Of
Charity of the Incarnate Word was
founded in Texas by Right Reverend
C. NJ. Dubuis, Bishop Of Galveston. In
1866, this prelate went to France in
search of nuns for the work in his Dio-
cese. Mother Angeiique, Superioress
of the convent of the Incarnate Word
at Lyons, France, received into her
community two or three postulants
and prepared them in special manner
for their future work. Thus was form.
ed the nucleus of the new congrega-
ton which became known as the Sis
ters of Charity of the Incarnate Word.
They reached Texas in October, 1866,
and their number was augmented from
time to time by other bands of Jealous
nuns educated and professed in the
same convent at Lyons. The Congre-
cation is governed by the Superioress.

WASHINGT0N'S BIRTHDAY
FOURTH DEGREE KNIGHTS OF
COLUMBUS WILL HAVE CHARGE
OF CELEBRATIONS.

With regard to the celebrations
planned for Washington's birthday by
the Knights of Columbus, we learn
that Colonel p II. Callahan of Louis
vile, KY, and John II. Reddin, of
Denver, Colo, Supreme Master of the
Fourth Degree, laid the foundation for
the Fourth Degree Knights taking
charge of the patriotic activities of the
Order. AS result plan for a ma
tion-wide commemoration of Wash
ington's birthday has been evolved.
Thirty Of the leading and largest
cities of the country have been select
ed, and an orator of national promi-
nence will be sent to each city to de-
liver an address. The subjects and
exercises will be patriotic, and the
Fourth Degree assembly in each of the
cities will provide a public auditorium
or theatre, and the lectures will be
free to the public. The addresses will
be made by the most prominent
Knights in the country-judges Unit
ed States senators, governors, and 9TH
ers. 1t is expected that deep i'm
preston will be made on the public
mind and that anti-Catholic prejudice
will be to some extent allayed. It is
probable that the Fourth Degree will
make the celebration of Washington s
birthday an annual event. 1t is not
intended to go outside of the Order
for speakers. The principle of the
Fourth Degree of the Knights of Co.
lumbus is patriotism. This subject
will hereafter be taken up in nation
al way. Matters of that kind have
been managed heretofore by the Order
in general, but from now on the
Fourth Degree is expected to lead in
them.

The final scene in the ten-day cam
paign to raise a building fund for the
House of Good Shepherd in this city
was staged in the Marquette Room of
the Ryan Hotel last Monday evening,
when the teams of solicitors assem-
bled to make their final reports. The
complimentary dinner rendered to the
workers, the Most Reverend Archbish-
Op, members Of the Executive Commit
tee and nearly all the priests of st.
Paul, was attended by more than three
hundred persons, all of whom were
vltally interested in the success of the
campaign. For ten days the teams OF
men and of women had labored strenu-
ously and under difficulties to secure
from the citizens of st. Paul a testi-
monial of appreciation Of the work
done by the Sisters of the Good Shep-
herd in the form of fund to enable
them to add new wing to the insti-
tuition and increase the equipment.
The ready response which they met
with spurred them on to special effort
to make the closing day the most sue
cessful of the campaign, and the
knowledge that they had succeeded
caused unbounded enthusiasm at the
banquet. The reports of the teams
were received with enthusiasm by
their fellow workers and invited
guests, and so prolonged and demon
strative was the applause that the
final event on the program did not
take place until nearly midnight.
Mr.. Sheffield, the director of the cam
paign, presided and called for the re-
ports. The keenest rivalry prevailed
among the teams as to which would
secure the championship banner for
the closing day. In the women's divi-
sion the team captained by Mrs. Van
Hoven bore off the honors with the
largest amount for the days work, and
Captain Ryan and his team Carried off
the banner in the rncf's tivisi&lI, 4l6atla

REMARKS ON A RECENT ARTICLE

written for The Catholic Bulletin BY
Rev. Thos. J. NormoyIe.)

OF the above startling fact we have
been lately reminded by writer in a
representative literary magazine, who,
seemingly, bewails the fact that the
Church does not keep pace with
cosmic speed. AS he gives the
Church the honor of capital initial
letter, take it for granted that he
means the Mother of Churches-the
Catholic Church.
The world does move, bat surely it
moves in cycles. History repeats
ITSELF has become epigrammatical,
and perhaps its best explanation may
be found in the disinterred doctrine
of metempsychosis, which we have
well-nigh forced upon us, by the
literary men of our day, who, in the
utter absence of originality and ini-
tiatiVe, dig out old fossils to foist on
the prurient ignorance of their read
ing coteries.
In motion we must distinguish two
elements called the ter

lovingly refer to that historical bias

impartial observer will note a unique
combination of God, intellect, emotion
and chivalry as reflected in Cathedral,
Divine Comedy, Church Music, Paint

to retard the wheel Of twentieth cen
tury progress.

Washington, Jan. 22.-A century, old Derringer rifle, the weapon used by William J.
