CENTENARY OF INNOCENT NJ
A "POPE OF PEACE" WHO DIED
IN 1916.

The present year is rich in glorious
centenaries and it is only proper that
that of Innocent III, a Pope of peace"
who died in 1916, should be celebrated
with due solemnity. With this object
in view the Roman committee PRO
Petro, Primo Papa" invites Catholics
to call to mind with love and venera-
ton Pope Innocent III, one of the
most illustrious successors of st.
Peter, a Pontiff to whom Our Lord
was pleased to grant, as he had previ-
ously granted to st. Leo III, great tri-
umphs of Christian peace. Leo XIII
had special affection for Innocent
III and erected a magnificent monu-
ment to him in the Basilica of St.
John Lateran, but the memorial which
especially reminds us of Innocent is
kept in the old Papal chapel of the
Scala Santa called the "Sancta Sane
forum" This is the sacred image of
the Divine Saviour which has been for
centuries an object of veneration on
the part of the Supreme Pontiffs and
the Roman people From head to
foot, with the exception of/the face,
it is covered with a magnificent deco
ration of silver offered to the great
Prince of Peace, Our Lord, by Inno-
cent. 1t was before this image that
at the celebration of Mass every day
the holy Pontiff asked for peace for
the world in those moving words:
"Agnus Del qui TOLLS peccata mundi,
dona nobis pacem!" Formerly "Miser-
ere nobis" was simply said. Rightly,
then, was Sunday, July 16, which in
the history of the Church is a mem
orable day for the triumph of the
Cross of Christ over the crescent of
Mahomet, set apart as a day of pill
grimage to the sanctuary of the Scala
Santa with prayers for the purpose of
obtaining from Our Lord pardon for
the sins of the world and the benefit
Of universal peace.

SISTERS DROWNED
TWO NUNS IN THE Philippine Is
LANDS LOSE LIFE IN CROSSING
RIVER.

Out in the Philippine Islands, that
orphaned ward of the United States
far off in the Pacific, little mission
school of Tagudin stands idle today
as a mute memorial to the self-sacri-
ficing lives and the deaths on duty
of two sisters who used to teach there.
For many years the Sisters had
gone out every day from the town OF
Tagudin to the school across the river.
Because they were almost as poor as
the people to whom they ministered,
they could hire neither conveyance for
the long road of their daily journey,
nor boat for the river crossing. They
had to go back and forth every day
on the shaky pontoon that bridged
the stream. With never complaint
of the hardship and the risk of their
daily journey to and from the school
where they taught the faith to the
poor children of the mission, they
were wont to set forth cheerfully in
their service.
There came a morning when they
set out for Tagudin, but came not tc
the school where the little brown chill
dren waited in vain. At noon CIR
from the school, coming toward the
town to find what had delayed the
teachers, saw a Sisters veil floating

HYPHENGTED AMERICANS
MAYOR MRAVlAG, OF ELIZABETH,
N. j., ADDRESSED DELEGATES
OF THE PATRIOTIC ORDER,
SONS OF AMERICA.

II appear before you in obedience to
the invitation of one of your represen-
tatives to make short address of well
come to your organization upon the
occasion of your convention in this
city.
Your representative left copy of
your constitution and statement of
the objects of your organization in my
hands, undoubtedly for the purpose of
enabling me to know what l was to
talk about, and perhaps, to commend
your principles. He did not know, or
peIhaps, did not consider what diff
ficult task he put up to me, for / am
one of those terribly dangerous for
eign-born citizens against the possible
designs of whom your fraternity is or
ganized for the protection and preserv-
alton of the constitution, American
institutions, the sanctity of the
schools, etc. Let me assure you,
despite this, that you are nevertheless
welcome. 1t may, perhaps, ease your
mind, if on the hand of history / can
assure you that there is no cause for
such fear.
1.-The names of Lafayette, Baron
Won Steuben, Pulaski, Kosciusko and
others speak for the loyalty of the
foreigner, while the recollections of
Benedict Arnold, the descendant of at
least two generations of native-born
Americans of Connecticut, show that
treachery is not an impossible thing
among the native Americans. Let me
recall to your consideration that the
fierce onslaught on the Constitution
and the very existence of our institu-
tions during the War of the Rebellion
came from the barons of the slave
States, all native Americans, and
many of them like Lee, reared, edu.
Gated and commissioned in the serv.
ice of the government which they
fought against.
"On the other hand l recollect the
names of many foreigners who led and
many unnamed foreigners whose
tombstones I saw on the fields oil

regular officers, led them into battle

CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY ON Drink
WHAT THE STEEL INDUSTRY Is
DOING FOR soBRIETY.

The most ardent temperance en-
thusiast does not show greater hos
tility to the use of alcohol than Amer
ica's captains of industry at the pres
ent moment, writes Burton ]. Hen
drick in Harper's Magazine for Au-
gust. Take, for a single illustration,
our greatest industry, the steel trade.
from nearly one hundred and fifty
manufacturers of iron and steel. They
include the greatest concerns in the
country; many of the constituent
members of the United States Steel
Corporation are represented. In these
letters the responsible officials give
their policy on the drinking question,
and express their opinions as to its
practical success. Through them all
there runs the same tone; the opinion
is unanimous that drinking, even in
moderate amounts, decreases eficien
cy, increases accidents and is alto
gether demoralizing to the workman
and to the plant.
All LuO0O COI SOh
Germs like the Illinois Steel company
the Carnegie Steel company, the
American Steel and Wire company
the American Tin Plate company, the

the American Car and Foundry com
pany, the American Bridge company
to mention only a few, are now
conducting great campaign against
drinking. Already they have cleaned
up conditions that existed only half 6
dozen years ago. All have eliminated

CATHOLICS REQUEST

DIR. Wood, non Catholic, has just
given five thousand dollars to the Uni,
versity of Notre Dame and presented
two handsome cars, Cadillac and
Chevrolet, to its president, Rev. John
Cavanaugh, c. S. c., D. D.
DR.. Woods acquaintance with Notre
Dame dates back only two years. At
that time he visited the famous Cath
Ollie school as member of the Michi-
gan Historical Commission, which was
headed by Governor Ferris, and which
was then inspecting the rich data
found in the Notre Dame archives
bearing upon early Michigan history.
DR.. Wood is the possessor of the best
collection known treating of the
Northwest Territory, and is an enthus-
iastic student of this subject. He has
offered to the students of Notre Dame
an annual prize for the best essay on
the Northwest Territory.

REFORMING THE LORDS PRAYER
EPISCoPALIANs WOULD REMOVE
A SPURIOUS APPENDIX.

The report that the Episcopalians
are to shorten the Lords prayer is
amusing. The amusing feature is
that they intend to cut out of the
Lords prayer something that was
never in it.
They propose to eliminate the dox-
ology with which they conclude the
prayer. While this appears in some
Greek texts it is admitted by all
biblical scholars, both Protestant and
Catholic, that it is undoubtedly an in
terpolation. The only authority that
is found for it is that the words "for
Thine is the kingdom and the power
and the glory of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Ghost now and
forever and from ages of ages" is
found in the Byzantine rite Of the
Mass. 1t follows the Lords prayer.
This is not intended as part of the
Lords prayer but takes the place of
the embolism which is found in the
various other liturgies. In the By
zantine rite there is no embolism of
the Lords prayer, these words taking
it's place.
The embolism is the prayer in the
Mass which is inserted between the
Our Father and the breaking of the
bread. 1t is not a part of the Our
Father, but is an Interpretation of
the last petition. This embolism
dates back to the first centuries, since
it is found under various forms in
all the western and in many Of the
eastern liturgies. The Greek liturgies
do not contain it. 1t is certain that
it never has been seriously held by
biblical scholars that this is part of
the prayer that our Lord taught to
His disciples. Our Episcopalian
friends are not shortening the Lord S
prayer by eliminating it, but are TAX
ing out of their form of the Lords
prayer what does not belong in it.

ART TREASURES
$50 MASTERPIECES WILL BE
BOUGHT FOR NoTRE DAME
LIBRARY.

One hundred and fifteen master
pieces of the painters art will adorn
the walls of the new Notre Dame Uni
versity library if movement set on
foot at the university to purchase them
proves successful. The purchase
price, though large, is not prohibitive,
and Father Cavanaugh, who is direct
ing the movement, is confident he will
be. able to secure the treasures.
Nearly every modern master is rep
resented in this collection, amongst
them being the names of Murillo, Ru-
bens, Tintoretto, Veronese, Guido
REM, Sassoferrato, Van Dyck, Andrea
del Sarto, Trevisani, Titan, Carlo
Dolci and a score of others almost as
we'll known to lovers of art.
Pictures of priceless value and in
considerable numbers have been treas
ured for years at Notre Dame. The
new library provides for their suitable
display and better protection. One
entire floor of the new edifice will be
devoted to museum and art gallery
purposes. The building is fireproof
and is a work of art itself. If the
additional collection is secured, it will
double the proportions of the Notre
Dame art gallery, and make it unap
preached by that of any university in
the country.
