COLLEGE OF
ST. TERESA
Patronsl Feast Day Celebrated With
Impressive Ceremonies at Col
Iege Of Saint Teresa.

Of the various feasts of the Roman
calendar, there is perhaps none more
welcome to the heart OF the Teresian
than Oct. 18th. the feast of the pat
ronal Saint of the College. Well-es-
tablished traditions guide the celebra-
ton Cf the feast, which this year was
carried out with more than it's wont
ed splendor. At $3.50 a. m. High Mass
was celebrated with faculty and STU
dents in attendance in full academic
dress. The occasion was made es'
pecially memorable by the fact that
it marked the initial rendition of the
Gregorian chant in the College Chap
ell. .........
The High Mass was sung by the
according to the strict rubrics laid
down in the "Motu Proprio' of Plus
X The Offertory, a Palestrina motel,
"Jesus Rex Admirabilis," sung "a ca
pella," was especially devotional. 1t
may be noted here that the College of
Saint Teresa is a pioneer among col
]eges in the movement to adopt the
Gregorian music.
A stately academic procession took
place in the afternoon. The radiant
gold and white of the undergraduate
gowns, offset by the sober black of
the senior dress, and the vari-colored
hoods and gowns of the faculty dress,
all contributed to the festive effect.
AS the procession wended it's way in
stately grace from st. Teresa Hall,
through the campus and finally up sun
lit staircases to the College Chapel,
the Saint must have looked down be-
nignly and smiled in blessing at her
earnest clients. Preceding the Bene-
diction of the Blessed Sacrament,
Saint Francis "Canticle of the Sun"
was sung by the choir. The Chaplain,
the Reverend Francis E. Kelly, D. d..
then delivered most inspiring eulogy
on Saint Teresa in which he empha-
sized the two traits that make her the
ideal exemplar for Christian college
women-her learning and her spirit
uality.
The day was brought to close by a
beautiful pipe organ recital by Mr..
Horace Seaton of Winona in the Col
lege Auditorium. The splendid hall

PRIESTS UNDER FORTY
ASKED TO ENLIST
Archbishop Prendereast of PhiIadel-
phia Makes Request Calling 200
Priests of His Archdiocese
Into National Service.

Noted Catholic prelates who were
among the first to voice their support
of the government in the present wal
have been reaffirming their pleas for
patriotism recently. Archbishop Prem
dergast, of Philadelphia, at a recent
conference of the priests of his arch.
diocese, urged support of the govern

asked every priest under 40 to volun'
teer as chaplain.
His Grace urged the reverend clergy
to cooperate to the full extent of their
powers in boosting Liberty bonds, de.
claring that in this, as in everything
else touching the welfare of the ma
tion, they should act conformity with
the civil authorities. He called atten-
tion to the action he had taken of in
vesting not merely his own but also all
available diocesan funds in the first
Liberty loan, and added that he intend,

invest in the new bonds any funds they
might have personally, or even parish
money, if any such was at hand and
available. He asked them in particu.
lar to impress on the members of their
congregations the purposes of the loan,
the conscientious duty of all loyal citi.
zens to subscribe, and finally the value
of systematic saving.
His Grace, continuing, referred to
the number of chaplains already asked
for and the prospect in the near future

An Appeal from

Dear Sir: 1t may possibly be con-
trary to your custom to publish matter
of this sort. If so, l pray you will
be kind enough to make an exception
in this case. l can assure you that in
so doing you will be performing work
of the highest charity towards the
Catholic Church in China.
( Hu-Chow, whence l write, is large
city in the centre of an extensive par
ish in the diocese of Che-Kiang West

Vincentian Fathers under Bishop Fa-
veau, G. M. This parish covers many
hundred square miles of territory, hav-
ing district chapels fully 100 miles
from the priests residence in the city
of Hu-Chow. When the parish was
opened up fifteen years ago, the first
pastor selected the city of Hu-Chow
as his headquarters, as it formed the
best center from which to work. Here
he set up his modest mission station,
comprising a house-chapel G. e.--up-

least, he evidently saw no harm in
having his over-crowded plat of ground

Progress has been made, additions are
required; but space is lacking. We
cannot very we'll buy up streets and
canals, and so we can never hope to
make good in this little corner, we
must clear out. We must procure
new site on which to erect complete
new mission plant, schools, chapel,

This new mission station is not
mere convenience-it is a real neces-

Above all, it will enable us to make
some headway against the two Prot

missions have huge establishments

a host of workers. Unless help is
forthcoming we cannot continue the
unequal struggle-we must go under.

PRESIDENT WORKS
With CARDINAL

The League for National Unity was
organized in the city of Washington
Monday, Oct. 8th, to create a medium
through which loyal Americans of all
classes, sections, creeds and parties
can give expression to the fundamen-
tai purposes of the United States to
carry to successful conclusion the
present war.
His Eminence, James Cardinal Glib
bons, was elected honorary chairman.
It was an honor we'll bestowed, for
His Eminence has repeatedly shown
his deep and active patriotism and CIV
en- his powerful support to the Liberty
Loan and other great measures which
the government has undertaken since
the nation has been at war.
The following correspondence be-
tween His Eminence, Cardinal Glib
bons, and His Excellency, President
Wilson, is of great and pleasing inter-
est to loyal Americans of all creeds,
classes and sections and notably to
those of the religious faith of the
Cardinal. The letters show a great
sympathy between the two men in
their loyalty to the United States
and the justice of our nations cause.
The correspondence follows:>

MY Dear Mr.. President: In these
days of the gravest problems which
have ever weighed upon our American
Government, our thoughts go out to
the Chief Executive, warmed by a
heartfelt sympathy for the heavy bur-

freighted with the unwavering deter
mination of loyal citizens to stand by
him in his every effort to bring sue
cess to our arms and to achieve those
ideals of justice and humanity which
compelled our entrance into the war.
Guided, as we are. by the sublime
teachings of Christianity, we have no
other course open to us but that OF
obedience and devotion to our coun-
try. Our Divine Lord tells us. "Ren-

Interesting Letter From Advance
Guard of Army in France-Eieh-
teenth Engineers Railway Regiment
Is 40 Per Cent Catholic.
The very advance guard of the
United States army in France, the
Eighteenth Engineers Railway regi-
ment, is 40 per cent Catholic and 80
per cent Irish-American. This infor-
nation comes direct from the regi-
ment, which has numerous Knights Of
Columbus all Westerners too,
cheers-in it's ranks. The heroes
have sent a letter to the supreme
secretary of the knights of Columbus,
who has sent copies to each of the
supreme officers, including John H.
Reddin, the Denver attorney, supreme
master of the Fourth Degree. The
communication was sent to declare
that the writer's volunteered to assist
in any way possible in K. of G. war
work. It contains great amount of
interesting information and is remark
able because of it's strong Catholic
loyalty to Church and nation. It fol-

Somewhere in France,
Sept. II, 1917.
Mr.. VIM. j. Mckinley,
Supreme Secretary, K. of c.,
New Haven, Conn.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Enclosed you will find list of the
members of our regiment who are
members of the Knights of Columbus.
1 believe we are the advance guard
of representative body of fellow
Knights who are to follow and partici-
pate in the future struggle on the
historic and romantic soil of France.
We are all members of the 18th En-
gineers' Railway Regiment, U. S. A.,
and have banded together as sort of
nucleus for the Catholic young men of
our regiment. The regiment is forty
per cent Catholic and l am proud to
say thirty nine per cent Irish. In this
case, the Irish element is not COM
posed of adventurers as of old, but of
true-blooded young Americans who are
all here to do their bit for God and
country, and consequently put to rout
those traducers of our religion and
our order who claim that men of our
faith are unpatriotic. -r
We see that Catholic France has
found herself and we know from first
hand information and observation that
the last grip of Catholicism is an en-
during zone. After the war France
will indeed be a fruitful soil in which
to plant the seed Of Columbianism,
and 1 am sure that countless coun-
ellis will spring forth and flourish as
a pioneer body of Knights are sent

PAN-GERMANs OPPOSED TO
CHRISTIANITY.
Would Put the German Heel Upon the
Neck of the World in Ancient
Roman Fashion.
Nietzsche's Philosophy to Prevail, it
Junkerism Triumphs.


Writing in the Suddeutsche Konserv-
ative Korrespondenz of Karlsruhe, of
which he is publisher and editor in
chief, Adam Roder, the well-knOwn
German publicist, voices the opinion
that the ultimate object of the propa-
ganda carried on by the Pan-Germans
is the wiping out of Christianity in
Germany and the establishing of pc
culiar, madeline religion. AT
ter accusing the Pan-German annexa-
tionists of bitter hatred of Semitic
Christianity" and quoting literally
from their writings to prove his con-
tention, Herr Roder arrives at the fol-
lowing conclusion:
Pan-German View.
The Pan-German view of the world
is consciously aimed at the roofing out
of the Christian religion and the sys-
tenn of ethics derived from it. A Ger
man religion is to arise, linked to the
belief in Wodan of our ancestors,
which, in turn, is to be so refined" by
the results of the modern theory of
races and the teachings of the Dar-
winian theory of evolution that what
remains will be atheism, framed in
high-sounding phrases. The German
people, as the nob1est and most favored
of all races, as the richest mamfes-
tation of humanity will have become
it's own god.
Sin Is Denied.
Christianity will be done away with
according to the ideas of Nietzsche as
the great weakening and enervating
influence. The only great person is
he who has power and uses it. Sin, re-
demption, repentance the greatest and
most profound things that human
thought tries to fathom, do not exist
for this company Of heartlcss bul'ies,
whose members, with nlonocles in
their left eyes and rattling sabres in
their right hands. CHALLENGE the world

it's neck in ancient Roman fashion" F."

Gods, and St. Paul, following the
steps of his Master, says, "Let every
soul be subject to the higher powers,
for there is no authority but from God,
and those that are, are ordained by
God Therefore he who resisteth the
power, resisteth the ordinance of God,
and they who resist purchase to them
selves condemnation" We wish our
people to see, and we are striving
to help them to realize, that they owe
answering loyalty to the rulers who9l
they have elected to office, and that in
doing so they are not acting in a slav-
ish manner, for obedience is not an
act of servility we pay to man, but an
act of homage we pay to God.
We are working to the end that our
countrymen may see the folly and
grave disobedience of unjust and ILL
tempered criticism of national policies.
We are bending our efforts to point
out to our fellow men that they in all
probability see the present situation
from only one angle, whereas the Gov
ernment sees it from. every viewpoint,
and is therefore alone in the position
to Judge of the expediency of national
affairs.
In word, we have been exerting
our every effort, and will continue to
do SO, to persuade all Americans that
they can do the greatest good to
themselves and their country. by a
cheerful and generous performance of
their duty, assit is pointed out to them
by lawfully constituted authority.

The elements of our true war policy

the responsibility for the western

We should take over the task by
submarine offensives blocking the u

we should proceed to build merchant
vessels and war ships for maritime
supremacy; as our armies are formed
