EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN RE-
VIEW, DIED LAST SUNDAY.

Sunday, April 8, at his home in Hamp-
stead in the sixtieth year of his ages
Wilfred Ward, son of the late DR..
William George Ward, was born at
Old Hall, Herts, England, in 1856. He
made q distinguished course at st.
Edmund's and Ushaw and at the
Gregorian University in Rome. In
1890 he was appointed lecturer in
philosophy at Ushaw. In 1906 he be-
came editor of the Dublin Review,
made famous by his father before
him. He is the author of biographies
of his father, Of Aubrey de We're, of
Cardinals Newman and Wiseman, and
published four volumes ON questions
and personalities of the day. His
death is great loss to Catholic
literature in the British Isles.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.

We have all read or heard OF
eases in which the presence OF q
scapular, rosary, or some other
object OF devotion, helped to pro-
cure the Last Sacramento Tor the
victim Of an accident, and the
last rites Of the Church for one
who, in the absence Of such tokens
of Catholicity, would have found
a final resting place in a public
cemetery, or in q Potter's field.
Incidents could be multiplied to
show how these and similar SYM
bols of Catholicity secured for UNI
conscious or dying persons the
priestly absolution for which they
sighed. and which otherwise the
bystanders would not have
thought of procuring for them.
In view Of all this, a Catholic
should not fail to carry on his
person some emblem Indicative
of his religion-a crucifix, a
rosary, a scapular, a medal, an
Agnus Del, a prayer book, or
other devotional object, in order
that, III case of accident or death,
those present may be able to bring
him the consolation Of the dying,
or give his remains decent burial
in consecrated ground. This pre-
caution is the more necessary in
our day when accidents are so
frequent and sudden deaths so
common. 1t is especially neces-
sary when one is sojourning
among strangers or travelling III
localities where he is unknown.
In such circumstances, people
have no means of knowing one S
religious affiliations, unless lie
carries with him some emblem
which is generally regarded as an
evidence OF membership in the
Catholic Church.
In addition to this, every Cath
Polic should make it a rule to carry
on his person q card containing
his name and address, the name
of a relative or friend to whom
notification may be sent lii event
of death, and the Injunction to
call priest in case of accident.
The reception of the last rites of
the Church is too precious a
privilege for a Catholic to neg
|lect any means of procuring in
time Of need. This applies with
special force to those who have
been negligent In the performance
of their religious duties.

DATE OF EASTER
EXPLANATION OF THE MOVABLE
NESS OF THE FEAST.

Easter is the principal feast of the
ecclesiastical year. Leo | calls it the
greatest feast and says that Christmas
is celebrated only in preparation for
Easter. 1t is the center of the greater
part of the ecclesiastical year. 1t is
the oldest feast of the Christian
Church, as old as Christianity, the
connecting link between the Old and
New Testaments.
The connection between the Jew
ish Passover and the Christian feast
of Easter is real aud ideal; real since
Christ died on the first jewish Easter
Day, ideal like the relation between
type and reality because Christ's
death and Resurrection had its figures
and types in the old Law, particular
ly in the Paschal Lamb which was
eaten towards evening of the 18th of
Nissan. In fact the Jewish feast was
taken over into the Christian Easter
celebration; the liturgy sings OF the
passing Of Israel through the Red
Sea, the paschal lamb, the column of
fire, etc.
Apart however from the Jewish
feast the Christians would have cele-
brated the anniversary of the death
and the Resurrection of Christ. But
for such a feast it was necessary to
know the exact calendar date of
Christ's death. To know this day
was very simple for the Jews: it was
the day after the 14th Of the first
month, the 15thl Of Nissan Of their
calendar But in. other countries Of
the vast Roman empire there wore

AN IDEAL CATHOLIC LAY
MAN.

The late Thomas M. Mulry Of
New York, President Of the Supe-
rior Council Of the st. Vincent de
Paul Society of the United States,
left an estate Of only eighteen
thousand dollars. He was Presi-
dent Of the Emigrant Industrial
Savings Bank for many years,
and a director of several corpora
tions. lie had unusual opportuni-
ties to enrich himself i'll a legiti-
mate way. Many people thought
he was a millionaire. The fact
that his estate is so small bears
eloquent testimony to the fact
that lie practiced what he preach
ed lie was friend Of the poor
and the unfortunate, and the
leading exponent Of Catholic char
ity in the country. He gave lav-
ishly Of his means without osten-
tation. His left hand never knew
what the right hand did in the
way of charity. No man was
more unselfshly generous with
his wealth or more timid of the
public gaze when there was a pos
sibility Of his benefactions becom-
ing known to other than the re-
cipients. His life is an example
for all.
There are, among Catholics,
many who have opportunities for
acquiring wealth as great as those
Mr.. Mulry enjoyed, and they take
advantage of them to enrich them
selves. The poor and their needs
are secondary considerations with
them: they were first i'll the
thought Of Mr.. Mulry. There are
many who could, if they would,
scatter their wealth to as good
purpose as Mr.. Mulry did; but
they lack the inspiration which
comes from deep-rooted faith i'll

not the applause of men, but the
glory Of God and the welfare OF
his neighbor. The Church i'll this
country has lost a valuable asset
in Mr.. Mulry.

FIRST BAPTISM IN AMERICA
ADMINISTERED TO A MICMAC
INDIAN AT ANNAPOLIS,
NOVA SCOTIA.

An exceptionally interesting event
in the history Of North America was
recently commcmorated i'm the Church
of st. Louis, Annapolis, Nova Scotia,
Canada. Its nature and the specific
form of the commemoration are sue
cinctly described in this inscription ON
a polished brass tablet in the church,
''This tablet and the Stations of the
Cross i'm this church are a memorial
of the baptism at Port Royal (now
Annapolis Royal on st. John the
Baptist's Day, June 81. A. d. 1910, of
Henri Menberton, chief of the Mic
mac Indians, and his family, the first
fruits of the Catholic missions and
the beginning of Christianity in Can
ada. Erected A. ID. 1916. Ad majorem

Canadians refer to Memberton,s
BAPTISM as the first in North America,
and there seems to be no question OF
its being the first administration of
that sacrament to one of the abort
gines. 1t is gratifying to note that
the Micmac tribe, during the three
centuries that have elapsed since 1910,
has remained faithful to the Church;
and, though its numbers are sadly
depleted at present, the survivors are
still good Catholics. An interesting
detail of the celebration is that the
Stations are oil paintings by Gabriel
Pippet, the illustrator of Mgr. Ben
sons books; and that the frames
were made, by a Micmac, of apple
wood in its beautiful native color.

Professionalism is making a des-
perate effort to wean the children
of South America away from the
Catholic Church. We learn from
the Springfield Republican Of
April 6, that the American branch
of the Worlds Sunday School
Association has sent it's represent
atives into South America to hold
conventions i'll Lima, Santiago,
Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and
Rio de Janeiro. With them is
James S. Causcy, banker of Dem
yer, and a Sunday school worker,
who is helping to finance the
project. Reverend George p.
Howard, supported by funds from
the United States, is to spend
some time in promoting Sunday
school work in South America.
Notwithstanding these efforts,
and the large amounts Of money
expended i'll the furtherance of
Protestant evangelical work, it is
safe to say that the result will be
far from encouraging. 1t is the
same story every year. PrOtes-
tant evangelization is a costly
work, especially in Catholic coun-
tries. 1t never makes genuine
converts. The most it does is to
rob a few weakened Catholics
Of the faith.

Thieves who looted the sacristy of
st. Peters Basilica, Perugia, Italy, re-
Gently, escaped with paintings and
panels valued at more than $2,50O,0 900,
according to Signor Ricci, govern
ment director of fine arts. Among the
paintings stolen were two by Raphael,
"The Infant Jesus" and f'The Infant
John the Baptist" Both these pic
lures were stolen several years ago,
but were subsequently recovered.
The other pictures taken include
Mantagna's Christ Bearing the
Cross" Guereino's "Flagellation" and
Bassano's Coronation" The thieves
tried to remove two notwithstanding
illuminated missals, but apparently
were frightened away before they
could succeed. The door of the sac.
risty was smashed.

HEAD OF "lTALiAN INDEPENDENT
CATHOLIC CHURCH" A6JuREs
HEREsY AND scHlsM AND SUB
MlTs TO THE cHuRcH-RE-
cElvED THE LAST SACRA-
MENTS

The announcement that Bishop"
Miraglia of Chicago, head of the So
called Italian Independent Catholic
Church" has made his submission to
the Catholic Church adds another
chapter, and let US hope the final one,
to checkered career. Early in
March, he was stricken with apoplexy
on the street, and taken to the Mercy
Hospital, where he was given an oppor-
tunity to make his peace with God by
renouncing heresy and schism, and
receiving the last sacraments. In an
effort to undo the scandal he has Civ
EN-, he signed statement in presence
of seven witnesses reafIirming his be-
lief in the Catholic Church and her
teaching, and renouncing everything
which the Church condemns. He ex-
pressed sorrow for having broken
away from the one true Church, being
lead contrary to his best judgment by
pride and the spirit Of INSTRUMENTATION,
as well as for the bad example given
to others, all of whom he exhorts to
follow his example and do penance.
Bishop" Miraglia was an Italian
priest who, because of INSTRUMENTATION,
was deprived of his faculties. He was
"consecrated" by the so-called arch.
bishop Vilatte of "The Old Catholic
Church." Since his detection from the
Church, he has been frequent speak
err at Protestant meetings, particularly
those of the Presbyterian Church.

Two historic events Of moment
Fous consequences to humanity are
lcommemorated during Holy Week
the institution of The Blessed
Sacrament of the Altar, aud the
Passion and Death of Christ. The
Church emphasizes both of them
in her services. The one ray of
JOY discernible during this period
shines from the tabernacle on
Holy Thursday. The rest Of the
sweek is enshrouded i'll gloom and
consecrated to penance, taking its
coloring and purpose from Good
Friday.
