FOR GOD AND AMERICA.

For God and America. A few
weeks ago an appeal was made
for one million members to join
the First Thursday League OF
Prayer for the Salvation of Souls
and Conversion of America.
Every Catholic magazine and
newspaper published it, and mag
nihcent results have been
achieved. With bound, the
league from being little over one
hundred thousand strong. has
leaped into publicity as National
movement.
For God and America! So
great has been the response to
this spiritual battle cry that it
was found necessary to change
the headquarters of the league.
Upon its organization in 1910 it
was placed by Very Rev. Wal
ter Elliott, c. S. p, under the
care of the Dominican Sisters at
Corpus Christi Monastery, Hunts
Point, N. Y. Hereafter the league
will be under the care of the Paul
list Fathers, at the Apostolic Mis-
sion House, Washington. D. c.,
and affiliated with their League
of Prayer will be known as the
First Thursday Branch of the
League of Prayer for the Conver-
sion of America. In this new re-
lation members of the League
share in the special privilege of
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Of
fered daily at, the Apostolic Mis-
sion House for all members living
and dead.
Who can estimate the growth
Mof the league under the auspices
of this band of missionaries whose
life work is the conversion of
~ america. Over one hundred
Thousand members now keep the
FIRST Thursday as Americas day
sof prayer. Will you not join this
great band whose spiritual arma-
sinent is the powerful weapon of
prayer, and win America over to
Christ?

Minneapolis appears to be a fav.

Minneapolis appears to be fav-
ored city in many respects and
especially by notable organiza-
tions throughout the United
States who have willingly desig-
mated Minneapolis as an ideal con-
vention city. Minneapolis in turn
has made every effort within its
power to merit the honor, and on
most all occasions has exceeded
its fondest expectations. With
the exception of the convention of
the American party and the
American Federation of Patriotic
Societies every convention held in
this city has been success and
Minneapolis has made good. But
because the American party, suf-
fering with too much sulzeritis
and the Federation of Patriotic
Societies encumbered with such
debauchers of American liberty
as Reynolds Bibb and company,
failed to be success and not be-
ing recognized by decent society
in Minneapolis; it is not the fault
of Minneapolis. The citizens OF
Minneapolis have too much honor
and civic pride to recognize such
nefarious and contemplate or
ganizations, which tend to cur
tail the rights of American citizen
ship, and to hob mob with the like
of Sulzer, Bibb, Reynolds, Currie
and Pickett gang.

DIR. Jefferson of New York who
has kept his faith in many fun
damental dogmas, including the
Divine inspiration of the Sacred
Scriptures, is not afraid to strike
out at certain Christless creeds of
our modern day.
"Modern civilization is full of
improvements on religion, such
as ethical culture, economies, sci
ence, philosophy, social service,
art. The great English painter,
Turner, once pointed to the sun
and said, There is my Cod The
hero OF recent and much ad-
mired book, The Leaves of the
Tree" is beloved by his commit
nifty, though an unbeliever. Con-
trast with the spirit in which the
Society OF St. Vincent de Paul re-
lieves the needy the modern So
cial service spirit shown by the
workers of the Associated Chari-
ties. 1t is now the fashion to sneer
at dogma and make fun of the
ology."
DR.. Jefferson sees great ma
tional disaster as the one thing
certain to bring the people back
to God. He says:
"In every hamlet in Europe in
the sections where anti-clericalism
was strongest, people are today
crowding the churches. The
greatest missionary is Death.
Science deals with things seen
and temporal. But the unseen
things are eternal. and when they
break in on our preparations, we
turn to God and to the Church.
eff your education is real you
know that the highest intellectual
development comes only when we
give ourselves to Christ, that a
mind fed only on art and science
is barren, that the age-long learn
ing of the scholars, accumulated
through centuries of research, is
as nothing when in true wisdom
the heart cries out for God.'

All Americans who have not re-

exposition Of the nobility of Sir
Roger Easements thoughts and
sacrifices. All Irish-Americans
are grateful for your efforts to

will take to heart the solemn
warning which you read them in
connection with the intention of
of their government to commit a

ANCIENT LANGUAGE AGAIN IN
FAVOR.
Latin May Become the Language Of
Diplomatic Courts.

1t seems that Latin may again be-
come the language of diplomacy and
state occasions. Reports from Vienna
have it that at recent gathering of
notables from various parts of the poly
glot empire, French was the only
which it caused could have been avoid
ed had the official language of the
Catholic Church been taught in the
schools and universities. 1t is now
urged that after the war conferences
fof the great powers be conducted in
the Latin tongue, which, being a dead
language, can wound no national or
racial sensibilities.
When the world was Catholic the
beautiful and expressive Latin tongue
was the vehicle of science and art and
diplomacy. 1t was the language of the
scholar, and no man was thought edu-
Gated who was not familiar with the
| language of Virgil and Horace. In
Latin the great doctors wrote their
apologies and Christian poets sang the
glories of God. Even the common
people could follow the services of the
Church., which were conducted in the
language that spoke of universally.
Latin has always been the official
language of the Church. 1t bears wit
ness to the origin of the faith of west
ern Christendom in Rome, the great
converter of nations. The Church was
founded when the Roman empire was
supreme, and she naturally adopted in
her liturgy the language of the people.
Catholic missionaries kept the Ian
guage of Rome in the divine service
even when they had to preach in the
vernacular. A Universal Church must
have universal language. Business
men have endeavored to establish some
common means OF communication, and
medical men are even now discussing
the advisability of adopting some COM
mon language in their congresses. The
Catholic people feel at home every
where in the universal bond of COM
mon language at their Sunday mass.
To have common tongue means that
the bishops from all parts of the
world can meet and confer together in
general councils. 1t facilitates the
communication which must constantly
be going on between the central gov
ernment of the Church at Rome and
the many dioceses throughout the
world. BY the use of Latin the liturgy
of the Church reads the same and
means the same today that it did since
its institution. 1t not only escapes
corruption, but it is uniform through
out the world. The official.language of
the Catholic Church speaks her origin,
her universally and her unity.
One would rarely expect to hear a
defense of the use of Latin by, the
Church from Protestant statesman
addressing congregation of British
Calvinists.

The Rev. DR.. Robert S. Mac
Arthur, president of the Worlds
Baptist Alliance in addressing the

why haven't we ever had a
Baptist President? Why haven't
we larger representation OF Bap-
fists i'll Congress, in the State
Legislature, numbering, as we do,
so large proportion OF the popu-
lation? We ought to double the
number of Baptists in public po-
sitions. I thank the Lord God
we have nominated Charles E.
Hughes for President
WE nominated him for the
presidency and WE are going to
elect him. Bravo! Suppose that
at some future time a Catholic
should be so fortunate, or rather
we should say unfortunate, to be
nominated for the highest office
in the land. Imagine, if you can,
the nature of the campaign that
would follow such choice for
president. Can't you see the "pa-
triots" and ''true Americans
whispering to everyone, Pist
don't vote for him, he's CATH
OLIC." The unwritten law would
be put into effect and the poor
mans political doom would be
sealed forthwith. Yet man who
believed the doctrines of the Bap-
fists has been nominated for the
presidency and his fellow Baptists
rise up and rejoice, shouting
halleluyah! America, land Of lib

Commenting on the Irish situa-
ton, the Irish Press of Dublin
has the following to say regard
ing the recent attempt Of the Brit
isl parliament to trick Ireland in
to acquiescence to the Lloyd
George scheme of separating Ire
land. But even after a compro-
mise which has further strained
the already ill-feeling Of the Irish
all effort was made to take away
the balance of what little power
remained, and which may cause
all election in England this fall:
The Irish Times says:
GA political truce must be re-
stored by agreement. There must
be an agreement on the necessity
for just and firm administra-
ton i'll Ireland during the period
of the war. The present blunders
have increased that necessity and
only disloyal or shortsighted Ma
tionalists will arrest measures
which the government must take
without further delay for the
maintenance of peace and safety
in Ireland. If this necessity be
generally accepted, the way may
become clear for further Develop
ments in the unity among Irish
men"
Freeman's Journal says:
"The defense was pitiable. 1t
impressed and will impress no
one. A solemn agreement will be
flung to the winds without cause
or justification. The government
f. alone is responsible. The British
public is willing to ratify the
agreement, the British press Sup
ported the arrangements, and the
Irish party stood by its contract.
The government alone was found
without faith and without cour-
age. The consequences are obvi-
Gus. 1t will be harder than ever
to induce the Irish people to cred
it either the good faith or the good
intentions of British statesmen.
The breach of faith will inhame
feelings already sufficiently in
famed by the blunder of the
coalition"
The Irish Independent says:
Every honest Irish Nationalist
will rejoice at the disappearance
of the hateful and nefarious
scheme of Lloyd George and the
government to divide and dis
member Ireland. en
"But, unfortunately, the man.
ner in which the plan was con-
ceived, together with the trickery
and chicanery by which the gov
ernment sought to impose it upon
the country, will constitute for
ever an unedifying and dishonor-
able episode in our history"

AFTER PAVING COMPANY.

City Engineer Clark of Hartford was in this city this afternoon to make inquiries as to the progress be- ing made by the Union Paving com pany on the Elm street work. The company has a large contract to fill in the Capitol city, and the officials evidently are beginning to manifest concern as to when it will be started. There remain about three more days of the excavation work on Elm street. Work was commenced on laying the concrete base Tuesday but the ma- chine used in mixing the materials broke down, causing another delay.
