PENSIONS FOR PRIESTS
ARCHDIOCESE OF CINCINNATI
FORMS "PRIEsTs' RELIEF
UNION"

At meeting of over a hundred
priests of the Archdiocese of Cincin-
natl held at the Cathedral in that city
recently, the first steps were taken
towards the formation of the Priests
Relief Union, which will provide re-
lief and benefit fund for the clergy of
the Archdiocese. A general discus
sion was held, after which it was de-
cided to form the society, which will
have for its purpose the establishment
of fund to supply sick benefits for
priests and a pension for those whom
age or illness forces into retirement.

SPECIAL APPEAL IN BEHALF OF
THE SOCIETY OF THE PROPA-
CATION OF THE FAITH.

To the Clergy and the Laity of the
Diocese of ST. Paul:
Believed Brethren:
The annual collection for Home and
Foreign Missions will be taken up in
the churches of the Diocese of St
Paul on the Third Sunday of Lent
March 26th.
The collection last year reached
the sum of $6,323.03-the increase
over the receipts of the preceding
year being $2,55199.
Our appeal, last year, was espe-
cially in favor of the Society of the
Propagation of the Faith, upon which
depends the maintenance of Missions
in Foreign lands. No doubt, it is to
the interest of those Missions which
my words were able to awaken among
the faithful Catholics of the Diocese
of ST. Paul, that we owe the increase
in their contributions for the year
1915 over those of the year 1914.
| earnestly pray and hope that the
report for the year 1916 will relate a
large increase, not only over the con-
tributiOns we have been accustomed
to make in years preceding that of
1915, but also over those made in the
year 1915 itself. Indeed, | fear not
to say that, whatever the reason, the
Diocese of st. Paul has not been as
generous towards the Missions, as its
population and circumstances would
have led us to expect. Our Catholics
usually are open-handed in their of
ferings to the causes of religion and
of charity. If they have Jagged be-
hind unduly in their recognition OF
the Missions, it must be our own fault
inasmuch as we may not have eX
plained sufficiently to them the needs
of the Missions, and the holiness OF
the work these are appointed to sub
serve. Indeed, we feel it our duty tC
take in the near future some more
efficient measures, than we have been
heretofore taking to bring our good
Catholic people to fuller realization
of their duty in this regard.
Meanwhile, we earnestly eXhort the
Catholics of the Diocese to be gen
erous in their response to the appea
we are now making.
We said in our letter of last year:
"Wars in Europe have made nearly
penniless the Society of the Propaga
ton of the Faith. Countries, thai
were it's chief support, are themselves
reduced today to piteous misery, ant
can do little or nothing to replenisE
its treasury. The consequence is thai
the most serious problem confronts
the Missions of the Church in heather

in Asia and Africa, in the Islands o.

are on the verge of starvation; thou

and asylums, are in deplorable penury

told, are reaching the Office of the

of his associates and admirers who
survive; that we mourn for him with
our whole heart and, at the same
time, we pray to the Eternal Father

JESUITS FOR INDIA
MISSOURI PROVINCE SENDS FOUR
TO TAKE PLACES OF GERMAN
JESUITs WHO WERE PERSONAL
NON GRATAE TO BRITAIN.

For some time Very Rev. Alexander
J. Burrowes, S. j., Provincial of the
Missouri Province of the Society of
Jesus, has expected an order to send
four priests, not of German birth or
extraction, to Bombay, East India.
On account of the war the German
Jesuits, who have built up st. Xavier's
College in Bombay, were requested to
leave by the British Government; and
in order to keep up the work it was
decided to send Fathers from other
provinces to the Far East. Some
priests have already been sent from
the Maryland-New York Province.
The following Fathers from the Mis-
souri, Province have now been selected
to go: Rev. Henry Westropp, for
many years active as missionary
among the Indians in South Dakota
Rev Francis J. Ridden, at present at
Brooklyn, Ohio; Rev. William Bennett,
now at Corozal, British Honduras;
Rev. Eugene Kieffer (French), Chi.

CATHEDRAL BOYS CHOIR

Gregory the Great, the reputed
founder of Gregorian chant which
derives it's name from him. One ad-
vantage of the vested choir is that
it insures the singing of the Proper
as well as the Common" of the
Mass. The Proper includes the
parts of the service which, like the
epistles and gospels, vary according
to- the Sunday, festival, or season of
the year. From day to day the
Proper presents complete panorama
of all the great events In the eccle-
siastical year. Without the Proper
there would be no difference, so far
as the choir music is concerned, be-
tween Christmas and Easter, or Lent
and Eastertide. The Proper is
intended for a select body of trained
singers in the sanctuary, and there
fore, is never sung by the gallery
choir which is only the derelict Of
the congregational chorus that used
to sing the Responses and Common Of
the Mass. AS congregational sing
ing died out, this part of the service
fell into the hands of professional
singers who were gradually pushed
further and further back till they
found refuge in a 'loft" over the main
entrance, or as far removed from the
altar as possible without astuaily
putting them outside of the church.
This location of the modern choir Is
at once the effect and the cause OF
many abuses.
Gregorian chant is as different
from modern music as the antiquated

LETTER OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP
ANNUAL COLLECTION FOR HOME AND FOREIGN MISSIONS

| Society Of the Propagation of the
Faith, hitherto the sure refuge of the
Catholic apostolate."
Since we wrote those words, the
condition of the Missions has been
growing daily more distressing. Hun
dreds of letters addressed to the
Offices of the Propagation of the Faith,
some even to ourselves, tell of mis-
Sionaries obliged through dire poverty
to retire from promising fields of
labor, to close schools and asylums,
where great work was being done
| towards the formation of Christian
communities. And, as things are,
further discouragements await those
missionaries, unless help soon come
to them. Fortunately there is visible
in the several dioceses of America a
notable increase of interest in the
| Missions-very notable in some do
| ceses May the Diocese of st. Paul
| merit to take distinguished rank
among the most generous of its sister
dioceses.
The Catholic Church must not al
low the pail of death to spread over
it's missions to heather lands. Those
missions are it's glory, the evidence
| of it's divinely-given universally.
| Somewhere and somehow the remedy
to menacing misfortune must be
found. Catholics in Europe can do
nothing; Catholics in large-hearted
America must come forward as the
saviors of the Church in it's mission
ary work.
In America we are blest. No war
skaters our cities or desolates our
| plains. Our harvests are plentiful;
our industries thrive. Wars in other
lands bring us even greater prosper
ity, than might otherwise have been
ours Let us show our gratitude to
Almighty God by returning to Him,
/ in service to charity and religion, a
liberal portion of the gifts with which
His bounty has endowed us.
From the collection of last year,
the sum of 100000 was sent to the
Propagation of the Faith, the re-
mainder going to the Bureau of Indian
and Negro Missions in-the@ United
States, and to Impoverished Missions
in the Diocese of st. Paul.
This letter will be read at the sew
eral Masses in the churches of the
Diocese of st. Paul, on the second
Sunday of Lent, March 18th; and on
the following Sunday, the third Sun,
day of Lent, the collection will be
taken up, as hereby prescribed-the
proceeds to be sent without unneces-
sary delay to the Diocesan Chancery
Office.
The total sum received from the
faithful on this third Sunday of Lent
will be remitted to the Chancery
Ofice-no deductions for ordinary
parish expenditures being allowed.
l pray the Almighty God to bless
the priests and the laity of the Dio'
cese of st. Paul.

PLANT PESTS

From the Section Of Plant Pathology
and the Section Of Economic Entomol-
ogy, University Farm, st. Paul:
Cucumbers in cold frames should be
watched for the grub Of the cucumber
beetle, which works on the roots of the
plants. Fighting this insect now is
doubly important, because the adult
beetle spreads the bacterial wilt. A
small quantity Of Nicofume poured
around the base Of the plant is suf-
fcient to control the grub. In the field
the plants should be protected by a
screen of some kind.
White pickle is showing upon cucum-
bers in greenhouses. This is character
lied by a nothing Of the leaves and
fruit and the deforming Of the fruit,
sometimes accompanied by willing of
the vines. All affected plants should
be pulled up and burned.
Small fruits should be sprayed at
this time to prevent damage from leaf
spots, plant lice and leaf eating in
sects. For information concerning this
combined spraying, see special bulle-
tin No. l.
Plums should be sprayed at this time
with lime sui phur-l to 4O-and arse
nate to lead to control the curculio and
to prevent the brown rot from getting
started.
Apple scab is beginning to develop.
sprayed thoroughly with 40 lime
sulphur solution.
Be sure not to cultivate beans when
they are wet. Such is likely to spread
blight and anthracnose.
te
gooseberries can be controlled readily
by spraying with arsenate of lead or
hellebore, used either as dust or Ii
quid.
The second generation Of cabbage
maggots will probably begin to lay
eggs about the FIRST Of July. Prepare
ton should be made for a special
spraying practice.
