LEeE IMPERiLs LIFE or

An accident which oversshadowed
all the Christmas aY az ST. Ambrose
College. navenpofq IA. took place on
December %, when Sister Celestine
of the Sisters Of the Humility OF
Mary. who are in charge Of the house
keeping, was seriously burned while
heating a parafine preparation for the
purpose of waxing the floors. When
discovered, she was found overcome
by the flames which enveloped her on
the floor of the laundry, the walls OF
the room having also taken fire.
Evidently she had attempted to stamp
out the flames which spread to her
habit and thus imperiled her life, in
the hope of checking a fire which
might have proven disastrous to the
college buildings.
The fire was quickly subdued and
the Sister borne to Mercy hospital
where she is suffering extreme pain
from the burns.
Sister Celestine, who is % years ol
age, entered the community eight OF

Quoted with considerably more ability
than would, or could, be displayed in

such condemnation is perhaps at

the priestly conscience which pro-
tests against sacerdotal neglect of
duty in the matter of worthily support

such a duty devolving upon priests,
and especially upon pastors, is fact
admitting of no question whatever.

pastor Of different parishes in the do
cese until 1899, when he was assigned
to st. Joseph's Church in the city or
Providence. In 1894, he became Vicar
General of the diocese and was ap-
pointed Auxiliary Bishop of Provi-
dence in March. 1915, and consecrated
Titular Bishop of Halicarnassus in the
Cathedral of IS. Peter and Paul
on April 2S, the Right Reverend
Bishop Harkins being the officiating
prelate.
The death of Bishop Doran at the
beginning of promising episcopal
career is great loss to the Diocese
Of Providence and especially to Bish-
op Harkins who esteemed him very
highly and to whom he was most
serviceable in the government of the
diocese. During the thirty-five years
of his sacerdotal life Bishop Doran was
an exemplary and devoted priest and
labored unreserYedly to promote the
welfare of the Church in the Diocese
of Providence.

B BlGOIRY AT EION
HEAD MASTER OF ENeLIsH
SCHOOL REFUSES TO ALLOW
CATHOLIC STUDENTS TO At
TEND LOCAL CHURCH.

The question of bigotry at England's s
leading public school, Eton, has been
carried to the House of Lords. Lord
Braye, who it will be remembered gem
erously gave site and the building
for Catholic Church in Eton itself,
has asked a series of questions regard
ing the refusal of DIR. Lyttelton, head
master. to permit the Catholic schol-
ars of Elton to attend this church on
Sundays or week days, forcing them
to go long distance to Windsor, a
journey which can only be accom-
plished on Sundays. Lord Braye sug-
gests that the head master is acting
ultra wires in placing the new church
at Eton out of bounds. and asks
whether the governing body sanctions
such a proceeding. He desires also
to know in whom is vested the power
of rejecting any scholar who does not
profess the Anglican religion, and
whether King Albert of Belgium was
informed of the embargo on the loca
Catholic church before he placed his
son at the famous school. The de
bate promises to be Interesting, fol

tion has Tor the church is connter-bal

.POPE's CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
ExHoRTS ALL TO WORK AND
PRAY FOR ENDING or
THE WAR.

Pope Benedict sent to America al
Christmas a message urging universal
prayers for an early ending Of the
European slaughter. 1t was sent
through Cardinal Gasparri, Papal
Secretary or State, and was as fol
lows:
While the hymn of the angels re.
sounds glory to God in the highest
heaven and peace on earth, good will
to men, the slaughter in Europe, OF
which there is no example in history,
continues.
All men are brothers because they
are sons Of God and more specifically
are Christians and Catholics. All,
moved by this feeling OF spiritual
brotherhood, must work and pray for
the speedy ending of this terrible war,
which has dishonored Europe and
plunged all humanity into mourning.
This is the exhortation that the
Holy Father, his heart filled with an
guish, sends forth to the world.
