A Remarkable Scene

A remarkable scene took place ON
the knoll Of the meadow in Central
Park last week. Three Irish poets,
Patrick ri. Pearse, Thomas MacDon-
ough and Joseph Plunkett, who were
executed by the recent Dublin revolu-
ton, were memoralized in poetry and
prose by the leading American poets.
The dean of American poetry, Ed
win Markham, presided. Wilton Lack
aye, the actor, a native of Dublin, re-
cited the last poems of Pearse. Miss
Eleanor Rogers Cox delivered poem
written by her for the occasion en-
titled "a Song for Ireland's Martyred
Poets,' beginning with the lines:
"A song for the splendor of three men
dead,
A song for their deed that shall
never die,
For the strife they lost, and it's Grim.
son cost,
And the felons' grave where today
they lie.
A song for the poets who kept their
truth
To the utmost end, to the furthest
span,
And died in their bright, imperial
youth
For freedom, for God, and their
fellow man.
Pale by the sea that's her prison now,
Erin, mother of sorrow weeps
For the struggle crushed, and the
singers hushed-
But under her heart a great hope
leaps.
For the voice of her poets forth has
gone,
And in all the halls of the world
is heard
And in splendid and mighty unison
The whole earth's peoples take up
their word"
"A sympathetic letter was read from
William Dean Howells the leading
author, and poems, appropriate to the
occasion, were read by the poets

A group of distinguished Protest

dutiful admiration for all his noble
work for suffering humanity in this
time of war, praying God to preserve
him to continue it and to work too
for peace which should benefit man.
kind by being permanent. His Holt
ness replied through Cardinal Gas
parri, Secretary of State:
Ladies, Our Holy Father Pope
Benedict NV has been deeply touched
by the sentiments so nobly expressed
in your collective letter of March 90.
You have been moved at the thought
of the anxieties and heart sorrows of
the august Pontiff before the i'm
mensity of the catastrophes of the
terrible war. You express your graft
tude to the Pope, Gods minister of
peace, for having seized every oppor-
tunity to plead the cause of the paci-
fication of the world by a peace
founded on justice and right. 1t is
with reason that you recall the age
long role of the Roman Pontiff, medi-
ator between peoples, born defender
of just causes, guardian of morality,
law and civilization. AS universal
pastor of souls the Pope has received
in deposit the evangelical doctrine OF
peace and justice, and history bears
eloquent testimony to the sovereign
prestige, to the powerfully moderat
ing and pacifying action of the Papacy
along the ages. So, too, Our Holy
Father Pope Benedict XIV has assumed
with a great heart this traditional role
and obeying that precept of the Bible
"Clama ne cesses," he desires to rem
der possible a peace, which may solve
with equity and wisdom the formidable
completely Of problems that has beer
raised up in the world. While guiding
souls towards their Heavenly home hi
considers it a duty of his charge tt
work and pray that quarrels, hatred
and sanguinary rivalries may cease II
and peace and concord be restored il

Memorable History in
The Catholic Church
San Antonio, August 6, 1916.

San Antonio, August 6, 1916.
An event that is destined to be
memorable in the annals of the Cath
Ollie Church took place last week in
the city of San Antonio, the religious
and historic metropolis of the great
Southwest. 1t was the observance Of
the golden jubilee of the founding OF
the first school established in Texas by
the religious congregation Of the Sis
tiers of Divine Providence. The cele-
bration attracted general interest, be-
cause of the widespread activities OF
the congregation, which from the
humble beginning fifty years ago i'll a
country village has grown, like the
scriptural mustard seed, to mighty
tree, beneath whose shade the children
of many races find mental and spirit
ual nourishment.
In the year 1866 Rt. Rev. Claude
Marie Dubuis, then Bishop OF Calves
ton, during visit to Europe, appealed
to different congregations for assist
ance in the arduous works of his do
cese. Among those who answered the
call were two Sisters of Divine Provi-
dence of St. Jean de Basel, who with
the sanction of the Superiors accom-
panied the Rt. Rev. Bishop on his re-
turn to Galveston. They were Sister
st. Andrew Feltin, who was for eigh.
teen years Mother Provincial, and, for
two years after the erection of the
Texas branch into an independent con-
gregation, Mother General, and her
companion, Sister Mary Alphonse.
Tuesday, the list of August, was SET
apart by the Sisters of the congrega
ton as their Thanksgiving Day.
They and their friends assembled that
morning in the beautiful and devo
tional chapel of the College of Oul
Lady of the Lake, to assist at Solemn
Pontifical Mass, offered in thanksgiv
ing to Almighty God for the graces
and blessings bestowed on the congre
CATION during the past fifty years.
The Rt. Rev. J. w. Shaw, d. D.
Bishop of San Antonio, was the cele
brant. Among the prelates presen
were Rt. Rev. c. Van de Ven, D. D.
